At 18, she competed in the Miss Hong Kong pageant and naturally won the title thanks to her outstanding beauty. At that time, she also successfully entered the entertainment industry. However, because of this, she had a heavy workload and stepped into the world of fame and fortune, which led to increasing disagreements with her then-boyfriend, Joe Nieh, and they eventually broke up.
That's right, it's Vivian Chow's husband, Joe Nieh. However, he doesn't have much money, and he can't handle a woman like Michelle Reis.
After entering the entertainment industry, the company had high hopes for her, and many big-budget films were given to Michelle Reis. Although she didn't win many awards, Michelle Reis's fame grew.
But Michelle Reis's heart wasn't in acting. No matter how successful her career became, it couldn't compare to marrying into a wealthy family! After all, in Hong Kong, without a powerful backer, it's hard to have an easy life; the pressure is just too great.
In addition, many wealthy families at that time liked to date or keep Hong Kong stars as mistresses. Michelle Reis got together with the famous tycoon Joseph Lau.
Fans who enjoy stories from the Hong Kong entertainment circle are probably very familiar with Lau, after all, he has been in contact with many beauties, such as Rosamund Kwan, Catherine Hung, Ada Choi, and so on.
He also doted on Michelle Reis, showering her with gifts like houses, jewelry, and other nice things, and he was very attentive to her. When Michelle Reis expressed a desire to learn something, he sent her out to study.
Both were mistresses, but Ada Choi did it to pay off her mother's debts, while Michelle Reis wanted to oust the wife and take her place. Therefore, Joseph Lau's wife, Theresa Po, disliked her intensely. Michelle Reis even harassed her with phone calls.
As the mistress, Michelle Reis even called Lau to question him about why he treated the fourth and fifth mistresses so well! Her tone was full of profanity, showing that she was furious and afraid of losing her status.
The drama escalated until the original wife actually divorced Joseph Lau. However, divorce didn't guarantee Michelle Reis's rise to power, so she also separated from him.
After Lau left, she kept looking. Michelle Reis really moved among all sorts of rich people and celebrities.
For example, she and Leon Lai were in the same company and shared the same agent, so they were very close. The reason they met back then was because Joey Wong wanted to shoot a music video for Leon Lai but didn't have time, so she asked Michelle Reis for help.
Gradually, the two had more and more contact. Instead of attending Leon Lai's music awards after-party, he went to visit Michelle Reis on set; the two were also rumored to have bought a house together.
The rumors were quite widespread, and they were even called out by Leon Lai's fans. At the time, Leon Lai was holding the "Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation Concert," and the fans below chanted "Michelle Reis's" name in unison.
But the relationship didn't continue, perhaps because Leon Lai's wallet wasn't strong enough.
Later, she was also rumored to have had an affair with tycoon Lo Siu-fai, the same man who had previously kept Anita Yuen as his mistress. However, because Lo Siu-fai had too many women, Michelle Reis ultimately decided not to bother and passed on him.
Michelle Reis also had a relationship with Qin Hui, the owner of the Heaven on Earth nightclub. At the time, the two kept a low profile and went to private places like clubs when they went on dates, so they were rarely photographed.
Michelle Reis was also photographed dating tycoon Pang Wai-yan. Of course, she was also seen as a mistress in this instance. However, Pang Wai-yan wasn't foolish, and ultimately didn't end up with her.
This woman, who moved among various wealthy men, quickly became a thorn in the side of many rich wives. Because of her beauty and cunning, she was later introduced to Julian Hui by Pansy Ho, the daughter of the gambling tycoon Stanley Ho. Of course, it's quite possible that Pansy Ho did this intentionally, having a mistress seduce Julian Hui so that a divorce could be arranged later.
Pansy Ho is Julian Hui's ex-wife, and their wedding was a sensation. However, Pansy Ho never liked Julian Hui; she had someone else in her heart, but that person later died.
At the time, Pansy Ho and Julian Hui married without much affection for each other, and after marriage, they each went their separate ways. Pansy Ho had an affair with Yang Qilong, while Julian Hui had an affair with Monica Chan.
But marriages in wealthy families are rarely easy to divorce, so Pansy Ho couldn't divorce for the sake of her inheritance rights. Therefore, she simply had Julian Hui initiate the divorce. That's why she sent his mistress, Michelle Reis, to seduce him, and sure enough, she successfully bewitched him.
This time, Julian Hui made no attempt to hide it; the two were photographed kissing passionately multiple times, and he was also caught leaving the hotel curtains open. Thus, Pansy Ho successfully divorced as the victim, and Michelle Reis firmly controlled Julian Hui. (It's highly likely this was a deal between the two women: Pansy Ho wanted a divorce to gain her freedom, while Michelle Reis married into a wealthy family.) Two years later, she did indeed marry into a wealthy family, but her mother-in-law was always very dissatisfied with her, as they were not a good match. She was just an actress.
If it were a more charismatic man, Li Jiaxin's tactic might not have worked. Because Joseph Lau only doted on her but wouldn't marry her, so she left when she saw no hope. After all, while she was still young, she could try other wealthy men; who knows, she might just snag one. Julian Hui, the grandson of a shipping magnate, was the softer one.
Back when he wanted to marry Carina Lau, he caused a huge scene and even ran away from home, but he still obediently returned. So, Julian Hui is just a playboy, and the kind without any real power, because he relies on his family for everything. That's why he's seen by many as a "parasite on his parents."
The inheritance wasn't given to him directly, perhaps out of fear that he would squander it. After all, the saying "wealth doesn't last three generations" might actually apply to Julian Hui. So, while Michelle Reis's wish to marry into a wealthy family has been fulfilled, it seems only half-fulfilled, because her husband isn't the one in charge of the family.
It's just that the timing was good, and it was in Hong Kong. If it had happened in mainland China, just think about how Yao Di was criticized so harshly for being a mistress. If Li Jiaxin's case happened now, what goddess would she be? She would have been criticized to the core.
So it has to be said that Michelle Reis was born at a good time.
