Chapter 168: Attending with Wife
Mrs. Fang stood up suddenly. "An Yi, are you crazy? That playboy has had more women than you've ever seen men!"
Fang Anyi's body tensed up. She was usually soft-tempered, but today she refused to give in. "No woman has ever called him a scumbag, which proves he's good to women! He's thirty-four years old, and I don't mind his past love affairs. What does his past love history have to do with me?" Fang Anyi refused to give in. "He's a handsome man and a leader in the business world. What right do you have to object?"
"What a sin—" Mrs. Fang collapsed on the sofa, "Jingru!"
Fang Jingru was so anxious that he could no longer contain himself. "Ridiculous! His cunning, vicious, and ruthless nature is widely recognized in the industry. With your cowardly personality, how can you control him? He will eat away the Fang family until nothing remains!"
Fang Anyi cried in grievance, "Can I control Liang Jishen?"
"He's a decent man, he has to consider his status, at least to save his wife's face and respect his father-in-law's family. Liang Chihui is a businessman, unconstrained, openly and openly having an affair with a wild flower outside, can you tolerate it?"
How could Liang Chihui be that kind of person?
The young master of the Liu family is frivolous. He doesn't respond to any of the talk about big breasts and sleeping with women. He focuses on playing basketball, looking serious and charming.
Even when Liu Yaoer teased her and guessed her size, Liang Chihui would scold him, clearly acting like a gentleman.
"I don't believe it!" Fang Anyi only believed his own eyes. "He has outstanding abilities, and the outside world is jealous of him, so they slander him. Dad is honest and wise, but haven't your colleagues also slandered you?"
Mrs. Fang was so devastated that she almost fainted. She swallowed a quick-acting heart pill, leaned in Fang Jingru's arms, and went back to her room to rest.
Ji Xilan called at ten o'clock in the evening.
Mrs. Fang felt a little better and said weakly, "I have something to tell you."
"Let me tell you first." Ji Xilan was unable to speak, "My bastard son..."
"No, no, no!" Mrs. Fang was also embarrassed. "It's our fault for being too indulgent to An Yi. She's so willful. The Third Young Master's conditions are impeccable. I'm absolutely satisfied."
Ji Xilan was very smart and immediately stopped talking, waiting to hear what Mrs. Fang had to say next.
"An Yi is usually very well behaved and doesn't interact with men. I guess it was the dinner at Zhuyuan where Liang Chi Hui was so handsome that An Yi was captivated by him."
Ji Xilan's heart skipped a beat.
It turns out that Fang Anyi has fallen in love with Liang Chihui.
This is great news for the second wife.
This was undoubtedly a disaster for her house.
Fang Jingru has a bright future, and the old man and old lady of the Fang family also have prestige in the cultural circle. During the holidays, people from the city come to visit them. It seems that the Fang family has married into the Liang family, but in fact, they are marrying into the same family.
If Yao Wenjie's daughter-in-law is Fang Anyi, Liang Chihui is at a disadvantage now, but he will be far ahead of Liang Jishen in the future.
"Mrs. Fang, do you regret this?"
"I don't want to regret it. I wish An Yi could marry the Third Young Master, but she's too stubborn this time. Jing Ru and I are powerless. Should we force her to marry at knifepoint?"
Ji Xilan looked at the gilded clock with foreign flowers on the antique shelf. The second hand was spinning in circles, making a ticking sound.
"Mrs. Fang, the third son is much better than the second son. He's just a little cold, which scared Anyi. Anyi has no experience, and the second son is good at talking about love, so it's normal for her to lose her mind. I have a way to make the third son more enthusiastic. Maybe Anyi will like him."
Mrs. Fang was happy and relieved. "Thank you, Mrs. Liang."
The next morning, when she went downstairs, Liang Yanzhang had gone to a meeting at the company. Ji Xilan was feeding the parrot in the living room. The parrot suddenly called out "Weng Qiong" four or five times in a row. She got angry and smashed the feeding pot against the birdcage, "Shut up!"
He Sang shuddered and grabbed Liang Jishen's sleeve.
He remained calm and composed. "If you don't have a broad mind, how can you be the wife of the Liang family?"
Ji Xilan stared at the overturned birdcage and asked, "Where are you going?"
"funeral."
Liang Jishen was wearing a pure black suit and trousers, his short hair neatly combed. He picked up the birdcage, hung it on the metal pole on the balcony, and teased the parrot, "Call Yao Wenji, Wenji."
Ji Xilan's expression darkened again. She looked at He Sang, who was wearing a black dress and had her hair tied up in a ponytail and fixed behind her head. Her hairpin was also black.
Cheng Xun hurried to the old house early yesterday morning. Ji Xilan happened to be awake and thought that Zhonghai had urgent official business. With the death of the top leader, all projects, contracts, and meetings, big and small, fell on the shoulders of Liang Jishen, the second-in-command.
I didn't expect that it was for He Sang to try on clothes.
"What do you mean?" Ji Xilan was like a huge ice cellar, filled with cold air. "Why did you bring her to the Zhonghai chairman's mourning ceremony?"
Liang Jishen finished playing with the bird and wiped his hands with a tissue. "Didn't your father's best friend also die when he passed away?"
"It's etiquette for a couple to mourn together."
"My father has manners, but I don't?"
Ji Xilan understood everything. The third brother was worried that things would get worse if the night went on, so he took the opportunity of the funeral to announce it to the world.
If it is a happy event, it would be too distracting to steal the limelight. If it is a funeral, it is both formal and respectful to bring the family members to express condolences in person.
It is a tacit understanding in the industry that he is the next top leader of China Overseas, and it is most appropriate to publicly introduce He Sang at the old leader's funeral.
"It seems you've thought this through carefully." Ji Xilan took a sip of milk slowly. "Hu Dafa is still in a coma. The entire Hu family, including Mrs. Hu's nephew Li He, has a grudge against He Sang, and even her family, won't let this go easily. He Sang is a ticking time bomb. Are you sure you're leaving no room for retreat?"
Liang Jishen's expression was profound. "As long as you behave yourself, the bomb will never explode. If you don't behave yourself, the bomb will explode and harm the entire Liang family."
Ji Xilan put down the glass, waded through the bird food scattered on the ground, and went to the terrace to water the flowers.
......
The memorial service was held in the No. 1 mourning hall of the municipal funeral home. The car was parked at the door. Cheng Xun went down, briefly explained the situation, received the white flowers, and then returned to pick up Liang Jishen.
They arrived late as most of the guests had finished paying their respects and were waiting for the final stages.
The funeral master of ceremonies announced loudly, "China Overseas Group Vice President Liang Jishen and his wife are here to pay their respects to the chairman."
The guests gathered on both sides of the hall turned their heads. Liang Jishen's aura was very solemn and dignified. The women around him...
A wife in the crowd quietly asked her husband, "Is that He Sang from the Drama Theater?"
The husband also recognized it and said, "Yes."
"Married? There's no news yet."
"I guess they're engaged, or they got the marriage certificate but didn't have a wedding banquet."
The wife watched them walk to the center of the hall and stop in front of the casket. "Mrs. Liang is so arrogant that she actually allowed He Sang to enter?"
"Liang San insists on marrying her."
The husband wasn't surprised. He Sang had a handsome face and a quiet personality. He had a clean reputation in the drama world. Even if there was any criticism, it was after she and Liang San got involved. The son of the Liang family was a prominent figure, and she probably felt it was unfair. Liang San was a veteran with experience in both the political and business worlds. He was willing to give her a legitimate position, so he was definitely not one for a promiscuous woman.
Although He Sang did not come from a wealthy and noble family, Liang San had already reached the top of the pyramid and no longer cared about his wife's background. She was gentle, tender, and pleasing to the eye, and had strengths that met his needs, which was enough for her to rise to the top.
He Sang followed Liang Jishen and bowed three times, then followed him to where the family members were paying their respects. The chairman's wife and eldest son, who were in the lead, took the initiative to shake his hand. "Thank you, Vice President Liang, for taking the time to come here."
"I'm the chairman's subordinate, so I should see him off. Madam, Master, please accept my condolences."
The chairman's wife returned the greeting. Liang Jishen nodded slightly and took He Sang's hand. "My wife, He Sang, admires the chairman and came to see him off."
She bowed solemnly, "Take care."
The chairman's wife did not expect that the girl who exposed the "photo gate" with Liang Chihui would become Liang Jishen's wife. Not long after the storm subsided, she attended the funeral with great fanfare to clear her name. It was obvious that she was very favored and had firmly tied the man's heart.
Liang Jishen was so high-profile and diverted the criticism to himself, so the rumors about the girl's "fickle love triangle" were bound to be shattered.
The chairman's wife came to her senses and returned the greeting after being reminded by her daughter-in-law.
The eldest son invited Liang Jishen to attend the thank-you banquet for the funeral. As the family's guest of honor, Liang Jishen could not refuse and agreed.
