Chapter 33 I Didn't Treat You Badly
Even Huo Zhenhong was a little flustered. He was in the entertainment industry, so he was very aware of the power of public opinion.
If these words from today were to get out, the Huo family would definitely be on the front page, and it might even affect the progress of his businesses and projects.
Huo Zhenhong looked at Fang Lanxin with a strange expression. He didn't understand why Fang Lanxin suddenly seemed like a different person.
Before, Fang Lanxin was clearly the one who cared most about appearances, so why is she suddenly starting to lose face now?
Seeing that he was speechless, Fang Lanxin spoke directly: "The people of the fourth branch should manage their own affairs. After all, I am the head of the Huo family, don't you think?"
Since taking over the Huo family at the age of nineteen, Fang Lanxin has always been the backbone of the Huo family, suppressing the second and fourth branches and preventing them from surpassing the first branch. Over the years, both the second and fourth branches have been very resentful, after all, no one is willing to be trampled underfoot by a woman.
However, Fang Lanxin's ruthless methods made them no match for her.
Originally, he intended to sow discord between the mother and son and then take advantage of the situation. However, he never expected that his actions would leave a trace and be caught, and he was gradually cornered. It seemed that the second wife's businesses were about to be lost, but unfortunately, Huo Zhenhong was not legitimate and could not say anything. In desperation, he could only grit his teeth and stare at Fang Lanxin as she took inventory of the goods.
Fang Lanxin glanced at the shipment report and then handed Alian a check.
"I haven't treated you badly. Just take the money and live a good life."
Fang Lanxin stared blankly at Alian.
After glancing at the check, A-Lian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fang Lanxin: "Sister-in-law, you just accepted my second wife's property like this?"
"If it wasn't me, it would have been someone else. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't have given you so much."
"Ah Lian, you've been married into this family for so many years, you should know that the Huo family's assets will never be given to outsiders!"
After saying this, Fang Lanxin didn't even glance at them before turning and leaving.
"Fourth brother, say something!"
"What should we do now? Are we just going to stand by and watch our second branch of the family fall into ruin?"
With red eyes, A-Lian gritted her teeth and looked at Huo Zhenhong.
Normally, Huo Zhenhong would always have a way to negotiate with Fang Lanxin, but today Fang Lanxin is not playing by the rules and is actually acting like a rogue.
For a moment, Huo Zhenhong really didn't know where to start.
He looked at A-Lian, sighed helplessly, and then said, "Second Sister-in-law, you should go back and live your life well first. We'll discuss these matters slowly after I see Second Brother. Don't worry, the Huo family isn't ruled by Fang Lanxin alone!"
"I'm counting on you for everything!" Ah Lian cried out, watching helplessly as the cargo ship's keys were changed and as the second wife's cargo business crumbled bit by bit, filled with despair.
The Huo family mansion.
Huo Qibang also learned of the news very quickly. He had a hangover from drinking the night before, so he felt a headache coming on when he heard these words.
"Awen, what do you mean? Mother has already accepted the freight business from the second wife?"
Huo Wen nodded, then stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Madam gave the second wife the market price, so it's not considered unfair treatment."
Huo Qibang frowned, somewhat puzzled. What did Fang Lanxin want with the freight business?
The main branch is currently undergoing reform and transformation, and has no energy to spare for operating a freight business. This business is essentially idle.
"Where's Mom?" Huo Qibang asked, rubbing his temples.
Huo Wen checked the time: "They should be at the film studio right now."
"What? What is Mother doing over there?" Huo Qibang felt his already throbbing head buzzing even more.
Why has his mother's behavior become increasingly strange lately? He can't even tell what she's trying to do.
Huo Wen looked confused and shook his head: "I don't know either, but I heard that Madam has gone there twice already, so it must be something."
"Let's go to the film and television base."
Kenneth Fok insisted on going to see for himself what his mother was up to.
Film and television city.
When Fang Lanxin came last time, she took a liking to Lu Chen and wanted to sign this dazzling movie star to her company.
The last time she came, the company hadn't been registered yet, but this time, Fang Lanxin came prepared.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Lu Shen was filming when I came here, and he was crying his heart out.
During this time, Fang Lanxin watched a lot of Lu Chen's dramas and found that his crying scenes were simply superb. In one drama, he could express dozens of different emotions in his crying scenes, which was really rare. It was as if God had given him a gift.
In this scene, it seems to be about being separated from a beloved person. Lu Chen not only cried with tears streaming down his face, but his eyes were also filled with heartbreak. He slumped to the ground as if he were about to shatter.
"Okay! Cut! Passed!"
"Teacher Lu, you are absolutely amazing!"
The director was clearly very satisfied with the scene, and he led the crew in applauding Lu Chen.
Lu Chen stood up from the ground, wiped away his tears, and walked towards the lounge.
He opened the door and unexpectedly saw Fang Lanxin in the lounge. The moment he saw Fang Lanxin, Lu Chen's sadness vanished and was replaced by joy.
"Mr. Fang, what brings you here? Did you come especially to see me?"
Fang Lanxin felt that he was now without a tail; if he had a tail, it would probably be wagging long ago.
She smiled gently at Lu Chen and beckoned him to come to her side.
Lu Chen was quite obedient and happily came over.
Fang Lanxin handed Lu Cheng a plate of snacks: "You're too thin, you need to eat more good food."
"Thank you, Ms. Fang, but I'm an actress and need to control my figure. I can't eat such high-calorie foods." Lu Chen looked longingly at the snacks she offered, swallowed hard, and said pitifully.
It sounded like a rejection, but it was more like a coquettish complaint.
Fang Lanxin found him both cute and pitiful, smiled gently, and then lightly touched his cheek: "It's okay, just a little bit, it won't make you fat. Have a piece, it's very sweet."
As she spoke, Fang Lanxin casually picked up a piece of pastry and held it to Lu Chen's lips. The sweet aroma filled Lu Chen's nostrils, silently tempting him.
But what Lu Chen found even more irresistible was Fang Lanxin's gentleness and care. He took a bite almost without hesitation, nodding with a smile on his face: "Delicious!"
