Chapter 229 Even President Han Can Be Anxious and Hesitant
Fang Li paused for a moment.
Knowing that Lu Jie's personality, he knew that the photo would eventually be exposed, so he slowly said, "It wasn't too difficult, but he forced me to go with him to meet a few people."
"To see people?"
"Hmm." Fang Li rolled over, lying flat on the man's lap, looking up at him. "Han's Group is the largest shareholder behind Wenxi Film and Television. You must know quite a few people in the industry, right?"
Han Xi paused for only a moment before realizing, "He wants to help you?"
Fang Li nodded. "He took me to meet Director Feng Hui and Producer Wang Weilin."
"Feng Hui?"
"What, you know him?"
Han Xi looked at her, his eyebrows twitching slightly. "Lu Jie's mother's surname is Feng."
"You mean Lu Jie and Director Feng are related?"
Han Xi nodded slightly. "His mother is Feng Hui's cousin. She was also in the entertainment circle before she married Lu Pei. You should know that."
"Who?"
"Feng Xiaolian, the queen of love songs who was extremely popular ten years ago."
Fang Li was extremely surprised.
Lu Jie's mother is actually Feng Xiaolian?!
That legendary singer who captured the hearts of countless men both at home and abroad with her sweet looks and melancholic voice!
Fang Li frowned. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't connect the eccentric Lu Jie with that beautiful and sweet-voiced superstar.
Moreover...
Fang Li suddenly recalled an entertainment news story that had caused a sensation in China when she was still in school.
"I remember, Feng Xiaolian passed away ten years ago...?"
Han Xi looked at her for a long time before speaking softly, "It wasn't death from illness, it was suicide."
Fang Li was completely shocked, her little face blankly stunned.
Han Xi touched her soft cheek and said slowly, "The secrets of wealthy families often involve the rise and fall of more than one family, especially someone like Feng Xiaolian who has a reputation and a certain status in society. Once the news of her suicide is exposed, the Feng family and the Lu family will be the first to be attacked by public opinion."
Fang Li could imagine that this was why many prestigious families were always reluctant to marry a celebrity. Although the star power of the celebrity would bring a lot of help to the family business, the rise and fall of the entire family would also be tied to the celebrity at that moment.
The entertainment industry is a place full of people and eyes. Once any problem arises, the tragic ending of a star who marries into a wealthy family is a topic that can always arouse people's voyeuristic desires.
This is also why Fang Li concealed her identity in the first place.
If people had known from the beginning that she was the daughter of the Xu family of Haicheng, perhaps not so many people would have dared to kick her when she was down. There would have been many people who flattered and fawned over her, but those who wanted to frame her would still have some dirt on her, and it would all come out at some point in the end.
Xu's background will only act like a barrel of gasoline, amplifying the public outcry.
What Fang Li least wanted to see was that she made the Xu family a topic of conversation for others.
Therefore, she could understand the Lu family's decision to conceal the truth, but...
"If one day I also bring a lot of negative public opinion to the Han family, what will you do...?"
"It won't happen one day."
Han Xi interrupted Fang Li before she could finish speaking.
Fang Li: "What makes you so sure?"
"Because I am neither Lu Pei nor Song Yuchen, as long as I am here, I will not allow any negative public opinion about you to appear."
Looking into the man's calm yet confident eyes, Fang Li admitted that she was filled with an immense sense of security at that moment.
But she couldn't help but ask, "What if? What if I clash with the Han family? You can only choose to protect me or protect the Han family. What will you do then?"
"What do you think?"
When Fang Li met the man's subtly smiling eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly.
“In my heart, the Han family can never be your equal, so this choice between the two has never existed for me.”
It felt as if my heart was suddenly enveloped by a warm, large hand.
Then, with a flick of his fingertips, he gently stirred her emotions, causing her heartbeat to become instantly disordered.
Who exactly said this man was cold and ruthless? She had seen so many eloquent and charming men in the industry, but none of them could match his ability to win people's hearts.
"If you're willing to lie to a girl, you can easily make her believe it with just a flick of your finger."
Han Xi chuckled, "Are you praising me or insulting me?"
"I'm praising you." Fang Li turned around and hugged his waist. "This kind of ability isn't something you can just have if you want it. At least so far, I've only seen one person like you."
"Really? What about Ali? Did I fool her?"
Fang Li buried her head in his waist, her voice muffled and tinged with laughter: "Almost there. If you put in a little more effort, I probably won't be able to hold on much longer."
"It's still a little short. I thought I had already fooled Ali."
Han Xi's voice was regretful, and he deliberately showed deep disappointment between his brows as he lowered his head and gently stroked the strands of hair at her temples.
Fang Li's ears were tickled by his teasing, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Am I a kitten? Why are you touching me?"
"If I could, I'd like to turn Ali into a kitten and take her everywhere I go, so I wouldn't have to worry about her being targeted by others all the time."
Hearing the sudden hint of bitterness in the man's tone, Fang Li looked up, a slight smile playing on her lips: "So even President Han can be insecure?"
"There's nothing I can do. Mrs. Han is so outstanding, yet she's always been unwilling to give me a legitimate status. I'm under a lot of pressure."
"Pfft!" Fang Li burst out laughing.
She laughed so hard her body was shaking, and it took her a while to finally stop.
Fang Li wiped away the moisture from the corner of her eyes as she smiled, reached out and covered the man's sharp jaw, and curled her lips: "President Han, has anyone ever told you that you are cute?"
Han Xi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Me, cute?"
Fang Li squinted, a smile playing on her lips. "Yes, she's incredibly cute!"
A look of surprise flashed across Han Xi's eyes, then he chuckled softly along with the woman in his arms.
He reached out and pulled the woman up into his arms like he was holding a child. Looking at the mischievous glint in her bright eyes, he felt genuine joy.
"After all these years, Ali is the first person to describe me as cute."
"how do you feel?"
Han Xi pretended to think about it seriously for a moment, then raised his lips and said, "Not bad."
"So, how are you feeling now? Are you in a good mood?"
Sensing the unspoken meaning in Fang Li's words, Han Xi lowered his gaze to meet her expectant eyes. "What are you trying to say?"
"Answer me first."
"It's not bad, but..." Seeing a slight gleam in the woman's eyes, he changed the subject, a wicked glint in his eyes, and said, "I think it could be even better."
"Hey, what are you doing!"
Suddenly suspended in mid-air, Fang Li was startled and patted the chest in front of her. The man, however, remained unmoved and carried her into the bedroom behind him.
