In her previous life, she was the iron-blooded matriarch of the Huo family, dominating Hong Kong Island. Yet, her own children conspired to drug her, leading to a hate-filled death. All because she...
Chapter 56 Hand it over
Guan Yu's back was covered with countless scars, and now that Fang Lanxin had grabbed him, he grimaced in pain.
He immediately grabbed Fang Lanxin's hand and squeezed it in his palm: "Alan, you are so cruel."
"You know I've always been ruthless," Fang Lan said confidently.
She pulled her hand away and looked at Lu Chen: "Let's go, I'll take you home!"
The competition was over, so Fang Lanxin naturally wouldn't stay any longer. She really had no interest in a victory celebration or anything like that.
Like a loyal puppy, Lu Chen silently followed Fang Lanxin into the car.
"Sister Fang, may I stay at your villa for the night?"
"I'm always scared when I'm alone, and I can't sleep."
Lu Chen looked at Fang Lanxin pitifully.
Fang Lanxin raised an eyebrow, seeing through the boy's little scheme at a glance. She smiled mischievously, pinched his reddened earlobe, and asked, "Are you unable to sleep alone, or are you worried that I'm not sleeping alone?"
Although Lu Chen was young, he was still an adult, especially after so many years in the entertainment industry. What hadn't he seen? He understood Fang Lanxin's unspoken meaning almost instantly, and his already red ear tips turned even deeper red.
He turned his face away shyly, not daring to say another word. He was completely powerless in front of Fang Lanxin.
Looking at his adorable appearance, Fang Lanxin nodded with satisfaction, then started the car and drove him back.
After watching Lu Chen enter, Fang Lanxin got out of the car, then walked to the black car not far away and knocked on the window.
"Hand over the photos."
The car remained completely still, as if there was no one inside.
Fang Lanxin smiled coldly, grabbed the fire extinguisher from her trunk, and smashed it against the car window. The person inside, who had been pretending to be dead, no longer dared to continue. He could only reluctantly turn on the headlights, get out of the car, and look at Fang Lanxin.
"Mr. Fang, what are you doing?"
Fang Lanxin didn't waste words with the man in front of her, and simply said coldly, "Hand over the photos."
"I just want to go home, I..."
"Alright, then wait for the lawyer's letter from the Huo Group. You can go back and ask around to see what level the legal department of the Huo Group is at."
After saying this, Fang Lanxin turned and left. She was never one to drag things out. Since this person dared to do such a thing, she just needed to be prepared to bear the consequences.
"President Fang, no, I was wrong, I'll give it to you, I'll give it all to you." The man quickly stepped forward and hurriedly handed the camera in his hand to Fang Lanxin, afraid that she would really do something.
Fang Lanxin didn't hesitate. She took the camera, then took out the memory card, before turning around and getting into her car.
Watching Fang Lanxin's car drive further and further away, the man felt dejected and muttered, "That perfect front-page headline is completely gone now."
Back at the villa on the hillside, Fang Lanxin immediately instructed A Shuang: "Immediately notify our people to keep an eye on all the major newspapers. I don't want today's events to be reported!"
"Yes!" Ah Shuang knew exactly what Fang Lanxin was talking about, so he quickly went out to make arrangements.
Fang Lanxin returned to her room and subconsciously opened the bedside table, wanting to have some wine before going to sleep. However, the moment she opened the table, she realized that her wine was not there at all.
She frowned, hesitated for a moment, then closed the cabinet and lay down on the bed, trying to fall asleep naturally.
But after lying down, Fang Lanxin's mind was filled with memories of her previous life, and she couldn't fall asleep at all. She even felt like she was being tormented by these memories.
The Chen family.
"Ah Hao, you haven't been back for three days. Where have you been?" Huo Siya heard the door turn and quickly took off her apron, striding over to greet her.
The smell of cooking oil made Chen Hao frown. He looked at Huo Siya with displeasure and said irritably, "Look at you now, how come you're so sloppy?"
"Ah Hao, are you disgusted with me?"
Why did you change after we got married?
Huo Siya looked at Chen Hao with a wronged expression. Ever since the two got married, Chen Hao really seemed to have become a different person. He left her at home, and his parents did nothing but watch her and torment her!
During this period, Huo Siya felt as if she were living in hell.
Chen Hao impatiently shoved Huo Siya aside and said irritably, "Everyone lives like this, are you sick? Don't mess with me, give me five million right now, I need to invest, this is a crucial time."
During this time, Chen Hao used this excuse to empty Huo Siya's savings, and even took her jewelry. Now Huo Siya isn't refusing to give him money; she really has no money left.
Huo Siya took a deep breath and then said, "I have no money left. I gave you everything my mother gave me. All we have left is this house."
"No money?" Chen Hao's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. He grabbed Huo Siya's hair, pressed her down on the sofa, and said fiercely, "If you're out of money, go back and ask for it. I'm at a crucial time for investment right now. Are you just jealous that I'm making money?"
"Your investment has yielded absolutely no return; you've been completely scammed!" Huo Siya finally shouted, unable to contain herself any longer.
She was also an outstanding graduate from a top business school, how could she not know that Chen Hao was a complete idiot!
But she hadn't said anything before because she was afraid Chen Hao would be unhappy. Now, however, she didn't even have enough money for a handbag, and she really couldn't bear it anymore.
"well!"
"I think you're a jinx, it's all your fault!"
Chen Hao grabbed Huo Siya's hair, then slapped her hard across the face, followed by slamming her to the ground, his fists raining down on her.
Huo Siya hurriedly tried to dodge, but she was no match for Chen Hao. She ran away again and again, only to be dragged back each time. In the end, Huo Siya was on the verge of death, clinging tightly to Chen Hao's leg: "I was wrong, husband, I was wrong, please don't hit me anymore, I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant."
"Shut up!"
Chen Hao grabbed Huo Siya by the neck, gritting his teeth as he looked at her.
"Money! I need money! Five million!"
"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!"
Huo Siya lay on the ground wailing. In desperation, she could only take out her personal jade pendant and hand it to Chen Hao.
“This is a coming-of-age gift my mother gave me when I turned eighteen. It’s worth twelve million. You…you can have it all.” Huo Siya’s eyes were red as she tugged at Chen Hao’s arm. “Hao, it hurts so much. Take me to the hospital.”
After seeing the jade pendant, Chen Hao didn't look at Huo Siya again. He just held the jade pendant in his hand and looked at her coldly: "You can get up and apply some medicine yourself in a while. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first!"
