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 43 What did they find out?
Huo Qibang, being a man, had never considered these things before, but upon hearing Lin Meiling's words, his expression changed.
"If you have time, take your child to visit your mother."
“I will not allow my mother to remarry.”
In Hong Kong during the 1990s, remarrying was a very shameful thing, especially when it was the wife of a prominent family like the Huo family who remarried, which would definitely make headlines.
The Fok Group is currently at a crucial juncture of transformation, so Kenneth Fok would absolutely not allow such a thing to happen.
Soon, Fang Lanxin noticed Huo Qibang's actions.
Ah Shuang looked at Fang Lanxin with some concern and said, "Madam, the young master is currently investigating Lu Chen and Ling Ye, and it seems he's looking for your... man."
It was really hard to say this, but Ah Shuang was Fang Lanxin's confidant, so he dared not lie.
snort!
Fang Lanxin found it utterly ridiculous upon hearing this. She never imagined that her son would investigate her private life.
She raised an eyebrow: "So what did he find out?"
"As of now, there's nothing there. That Ling Ye is just a small-time hoodlum with no background or status. His parents are fishmongers."
"As for Lu Chen..." Ah Shuang looked at Fang Lanxin with some concern: "Lu Chen lost his mother when he was young and grew up with his father. His father was an alcoholic and always beat him. When he was eighteen, Lu Chen sent his father to a rehabilitation center and he hasn't been released yet. Madam, these are all dirty secrets about Lu Chen. The fourth branch of the family is also trying to find connections to bring Lu Chen's father back!"
What?
Fang Lanxin hadn't really taken those things to heart before, but her expression immediately changed after hearing these words. She clenched her fists and said, "Take me to rehab!"
"Madam, it's very chaotic there. Why don't I go by myself?"
"No, I'll go myself!"
Fang Lanxin stood up and walked outside. Looking down at the dirty carpet, she said coldly, "Tear this off and throw it away!"
"yes!"
The servants didn't dare ask any more questions and quickly came over to handle the situation.
Alcoholics Anonymous.
After revealing her identity, Fang Lanxin easily met Lu Chen's father, Lu Asheng.
Lu Asheng was clearly not in good spirits, but the moment he saw Fang Lanxin, his eyes lit up: "Alcohol! You've been drinking!"
Since her rebirth, Fang Lanxin has been relying on alcohol to fall asleep.
He naturally smelled of alcohol, but Fang Lanxin didn't expect that Lu Asheng would be so sensitive to that smell. It seems that this person was born to be an alcoholic. However, being an alcoholic also has its advantages.
Fang Lanxin smiled and then moved closer to him.
"Then take a good sniff, what does this smell like?"
Fang Lanxin raised an eyebrow and stared at Lu Asheng.
Lu Asheng immediately leaned forward, sniffed carefully, and then looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief: "Don Perry?"
"He's definitely an expert!"
"Brother, I own a liquor store. If you're willing, you can work for me. I'll drink as much as you want, but you have to promise me one thing: no matter who comes looking for you, you can't say that Lu Chen brought you here. How about it?"
Fang Lanxin returned to her original position, elegantly crossed her legs, and began the negotiation.
"Don't even think about it!"
Lu Asheng snorted and looked coldly at Fang Lanxin.
"Which brat did this to me? I will never let him get away with this! I'll take him down with me!"
Fang Lanxin took a perfume bottle out of her handbag and sprayed it on Lu Asheng.
The aroma of Lafite wine wafted over, and Lu Asheng was completely dumbfounded, staring at Fang Lanxin in disbelief.
"This wine is from 1982, it's excellent!"
I promise you!
Sure enough, alcoholics are only interested in alcohol.
"Okay, I'll have someone pick you up in three days."
After Fang Lan achieved her goal, she handed the perfume bottle directly to Lu Asheng.
"Consider this my deposit!"
After saying that, Fang Lanxin turned around and walked outside.
Once outside, Ah Shuang looked at Fang Lanxin with some concern: "Madam, what if he gets drunk and causes trouble?"
"A true wine lover would never miss this opportunity."
“My wine cellar has that allure.”
Fang Lanxin was quite confident in her collection. Most importantly, Fang Lanxin herself was an alcoholic, so she understood the weaknesses of an alcoholic best.
Glancing at her watch, Fang Lanxin realized it was still early, so she casually found a place and made a phone call to the Guan family.
"Second Master, it's been so long! Don't you miss me?"
As soon as the call connected, Fang Lanxin started to act coquettishly.
On the other end of the phone, Guan Yu glanced awkwardly at his elder brother sitting beside him, then covered the receiver: "Speak properly."
Fang Lanxin realized something was wrong, so she said in a businesslike manner, "Harbor Wharf, 8 PM, meet me at the fish ball stall!"
After speaking, Fang Lanxin hung up the phone immediately.
Seeing that Second Master Guan's cheeks were flushed, Grandpa Guan immediately realized what was going on and stepped forward: "It's a girl, isn't it?"
“It’s not a girl.” Lord Guan hurriedly shook his head.
Fang Lanxin is already a mother of two, how can she still be considered a young girl?
"Was that a woman?"
"You have someone you like? Bring them home so I can take a look. If they're compatible, we can get married!"
Grandpa Guan has now retired to the second line and spends his days eating and drinking, truly living like a grandpa.
But the biggest concern in Grandpa Guan's heart is that his younger brother is still unmarried and has no children at his advanced age!
The bullets are about to expire, if we don't get married soon, when will we be able to have children?
Seeing his elder brother's excited expression, Guan Erye sighed helplessly and then said in a low voice, "Brother, I told you, I won't get married. You already have a son, and the Guan family line will not be broken!"
"You little brat, you're going to drive me crazy!"
"What are you going to do if you're not married at your age?!"
Grandpa Guan immediately turned hostile. This younger brother was good in every way, except that every time the topic of marriage came up, he would pretend to be stupid, as if it had nothing to do with him at all!
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu stood up and said, "I'm not getting married; I want to do business."
After saying that, he turned and left. After reaching the door, Guan Yu waved his coat in his hand and said, "I'm going to talk business!"
This kid is definitely not right!
Grandpa Guan was very perceptive, so he followed them directly and instructed the driver, "Make sure you don't get discovered."
Originally, it was thought that Guan Yu would go directly to the company, but unexpectedly he went to the department store and started shopping.
He could see very clearly that Guan Yu was buying clothes, shoes, and bags!
