Chapter 286 Calling Dad Is Useless
Both the Han and Sheng families invited many media reporters to today's engagement banquet.
The engagement party was about to begin, but many reporters had not arrived yet.
Xu Fangli had already retired from the circle. Even when she was still in the circle, she had always been tepid. She never thought that one day she would become famous because of some unfounded public opinion.
The One World Building was jammed once just two days ago, and it was jammed again today.
However, this time, the building property and security were prepared early, and everyone was stopped outside and no one was allowed to enter.
Today's media and reporters were relatively well-behaved. No one forced their way in, and everyone was waiting outside holding their equipment.
It was almost twelve o'clock when Xu Fangli finally came down. The invited media reporters left one after another and headed straight for the H Hotel.
.......
At 11:40, the emcee had arrived and was standing on the stage warming up the audience.
Han Ming was wearing a well-tailored suit and standing at the door with a bright and energetic look.
Sheng Jinghui next to him was wearing a Chinese suit, which, combined with his slightly round figure, made him look even more stylish than Han Ming.
The two of them greeted the invited guests on the left and right.
Sheng Qianrui came out when she was about fifty years old. A girl with an innocent appearance was supporting her. It seemed that they had a good relationship.
"Qian Rui, the engagement ceremony is about to begin, why hasn't President Han come yet?"
He Manting is a veteran artist of Yaoxing Media and is very well-known in the circle. Unlike small stars like Yu Wei who rely on traffic, she has positioned herself as a movie star since her debut.
Not only that, because of her straightforward personality and pure yet slightly sweet looks, many people in the circle like her very much.
On He Manni, the star's aura is not so strong. Instead, the intellectual beauty of a woman is more strongly displayed on her.
Therefore, she has always been popular and has many friends both inside and outside the circle.
For example, Sheng Qianrui, although the two are in a boss-subordinate relationship, they are actually good friends in private.
Sheng Qianrui's expression changed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she said, "Maybe something delayed him. He is in charge of the entire Han Group, so he must be quite busy."
"I know, but engagement isn't just about one person. He should put down his work and come be with you first. With so many guests here, leaving you here all alone... Qianrui, love shouldn't be so humble."
Sheng Qianrui didn't say anything.
Seeing that her face looked bad, He Manni sighed slightly, patted her arm soothingly, and said nothing more.
She thought Sheng Qianrui was sad because of her words.
She had no idea that this engagement party was a one-man show of self-deception from beginning to end. Sheng Qianrui knew in her heart that Han Xi would never show up.
Her face looked grim, firstly because of the engagement party that was bought in exchange for a lie, and secondly, she suddenly felt a little sad and felt sorry for her own behavior.
Until now, she still couldn't understand why Han Xi lost sight of the important issues.
It was obvious that no matter in terms of family background or social status, she and he were the most suitable match!
But he didn't take her seriously at all. After careful selection, he finally chose such a woman who was not presentable.
Now, I’ve been deceived by that woman!
Han Xi probably doesn’t know that the woman has been married for a long time?
When he comes back, she wants to see how he reacts after hearing the news!
Invited guests came one after another, and Sheng Qianrui kept a decent smile on her face and greeted them personally.
Xu Fangli is actually married?!
Until now, Sheng Qianrui still couldn't digest this news.
Is she married?
How dare she?!
A married woman who doesn't know how to behave herself seduces Han Xi?
Han Xi, such a proud man, was played around by her like this.
Besides being angry, I also felt a rare sense of peace in my heart.
I was just worrying about how to get her to leave Han Xi. Now that she has admitted that she is married, it won't be long before she will be too embarrassed to stay in the capital.
Otherwise, once Han Xi comes back and finds out that she has been cuckolded, she... might even lose her life!
The smile on Sheng Qianrui's face grew bigger and bigger.
She pursed her lips, nodded, shook hands, hugged, and greeted every guest present. At this moment, she seemed to have regarded herself as the future hostess of the Han family.
Little did she know that before long, today would become a day she would never forget in her life!

"How about it?"
Xu Fangye sat cross-legged on the sofa in Fang Li's office and looked up at her.
Fang Li put down the phone in disappointment and shook her head: "Still no one answered."
“…”
"Brother, do you think something happened to him?"
Xu Fangye was speechless, his eyelids twitching slightly as he said, "Why worry about someone else? Why worry about a thousand-year-old evil spirit? I've never seen him suffer any loss in all these years. If you really want to worry about you, you might as well worry about yourself."
"I?"
"Have you forgotten that Grandpa doesn't even know about your marriage? You're promoting it so brazenly. Do you really think Grandpa is some cloistered old fogey who doesn't read any entertainment news?"
Fang Li choked, "Didn't you say you cut off the internet connection at the old house?"
Xu Fangye: "......"
"Brother, considering the relationship between you and Han Xi, you must have a special way of communicating."
Fang Li stood up, walked over to Xu Fangye with a smile and sat down next to him. She said, "Can you help me contact him? I won't ask anything else, just ask if he's okay and when he'll be back. How's that going?"
"Not very good." Xu Fangye pulled away her hand that was on his arm.
He rolled his eyes at her and said, "Han Xi and I are just partners. Now, because of you, we are at most related by marriage. I don't know anything about his affairs, so don't look for me."
"Brother~"
"Don't call me."
"Brother~"
"There's no use calling dad!"
Xu Fangli was furious and pouted: "Are you going to help me or not?!"
Xu Fangye looked sideways at her, and Cen Bo's lips curled up a little, "No, help!"
As the smile on his lips disappeared, the flattering look on Fang Li's face also instantly disappeared, and was replaced by a look of discouragement.
She snorted coldly and stormed out of the office.
As soon as she went out, the expression on her face instantly returned to normal.
"Has it started yet?"
Wen Yang had been waiting outside the door long ago. As soon as Fang Li came out, the two of them immediately quickened their pace and walked outside.
"There's less than fifteen minutes left. The media downstairs should have mostly left. We shouldn't be stuck if we go out now."
"Okay, let's go!"
The two of them didn't go down the hall, but went straight to the basement.
Yu Tian was already waiting at the elevator entrance in his car. When he saw the two people getting off, he immediately started the car. As soon as the two people got in, the car roared and drove out.
