Chapter 682 - 548: Second Update
News of Fang Han’s upcoming wedding caught everyone off guard.
The invitation hadn’t even reached her when Ning Youguang heard from Ning Yi and Ming Jinxin that Fang Han had a boyfriend, and apparently, the families were already discussing the marriage arrangements.
When Ming Jinxin mentioned it at the Ning family home, she was momentarily stunned, "Cousin is getting married?"
"Yes," Ming Jinxin said, "Hanhan is in love, did you know?"
"Of course, it’s been reported online twice already." Ning Youguang said, surprised, "She’s so popular, whenever she starts dating, it trends online."
"Well, since it’s family, we know if she’s popular or not, right?" Ming Jinxin laughed, "But her fiancé has been trending separately, just not with Hanhan."
"What’s going on? I can’t understand." Ning Youguang was genuinely uninterested in who Fang Han was marrying or dating.
However, they were cousins.
In this life, their relationship wasn’t as strained as in the previous one, and they weren’t completely uncommunicative.
So she was still willing to put on a show of their superficial sisterhood in front of the family.
Truth be told, she really didn’t want to see this person, hear about her, let alone discuss her.
But treating Fang Han that way would make her seem too distant in the Ning family, leading them to wonder if there’s some discord between them.
At the very least, Fang Han always acts concerned about her in front of the elders.
Even though they barely interacted privately, Fang Han still pretended to care whenever she visited grandparents or father and stepmother, asking about her well-being.
This made the family think their relationship was decent.
Moreover, grandma and grandpa were getting old and loved seeing the family thriving, portraying harmony.
She really didn’t want to court trouble at home just by being too lazy to pretend niceties.
After all, she’s been pretending for so many years, hasn’t she?!
Honestly speaking, their relationship was purely superficial.
Concerning Fang Han, Ning Youguang had come to terms with it—
Some people are naturally opposed to you and don’t get along.
She also wanted to keep a distance.
Performing can resolve numerous issues, making it truly worth it.
"Fang Han’s fiancé is the second son from the main branch of the Li family in Guangdong, you know them?" Ming Jinxin asked.
"Of course, the Li family rooted in Hong Kong, involved in real estate, film production, and new energy."
She knew it very well!
Ning Youguang sighed deeply inside but didn’t show it.
Destiny seems elusive yet inevitable.
Fang Han still ended up with that extraordinary husband from her past life.
"Yes, them." Ming Jinxin nodded and then explained with a smile, "Three years ago, he was engaged to an internet celebrity. His proposal went viral online, and the news can still be found today."
"You really know quite a lot, Auntie." Ning Youguang’s focus was unique.
She didn’t know about this.
In her past life, she didn’t pay attention to these things.
"It’s not that I know much," Ming Jinxin laughed, "it’s your dad telling me. I’m busy every day, no time for online trends like an internet celebrity’s proposal."
"Seems my dad’s rather free," Ning Youguang teased her father, "knowing such gossip."
"He’s not free," Ming Jinxin said meaningfully, "someone from his circle deliberately told him about Fang Han dating the second son of the Li family."
"What’s dad’s take?" Ning Youguang asked.
"After knowing the news, your dad immediately looked online at pictures of Hanhan’s boyfriend proposing to the internet celebrity."
"Then what?"
"After looking, he told me, ’The boy looks alright, but seems heartless, likely not easy to get along with. Shifty eyes making him suspicious, doesn’t favor them.’" Ming Jinxin mimicked Ning Yi’s expression from the day he said this, repeating his words to Ning Youguang.
Ning Youguang couldn’t help but laugh.
Sitting on the Ning family’s sofa, leaning against the backrest, she chuckled at Ming Jinxin, "What’s up? Is Dad so concerned about Fang Han’s love life he’s dabbling in metaphysics?"
"You child," Ming Jinxin reminisced about her husband’s words and felt like laughing but then earnestly said, "Though superstition isn’t good, face-reading truly holds merit. The old saying about judging by appearances rings true. One’s face reveals things more as they grow older."
She continued, "The heart shows on the face, especially the eyes. Fang Han recently brought the boy to meet me and your dad. Although well-mannered, something indefinable about him bothered me."
Then, she described the details of the day when she and Ning Yi dined with Fang Han and her fiancé at the hotel.
"...Once, at a friend’s party, I saw her after she left a hotel. Her hair was wet, no makeup, even prettier than on screen, and I was instantly captivated."
"After interacting, I realized she’s different off-camera, almost like a different person, which surprised me."
"On screen, Han looks like a cold and noble lady. I thought she’d be hard to approach, at first afraid to get close. But after becoming acquainted, she was actually a cute girl privately, dressing casually."
"Hanhan is well-liked by my mom. Since being with Hanhan, my mom only cares about her, every contact is about Hanhan."
"My siblings say I’m lucky to have found such a beautiful, outstanding girlfriend. They urge me to impress Hanhan and even suggest taking her to Guangdong to visit them."
"Your siblings are many, meeting them could take forever." Fang Han, elegantly dressed, wearing a huge diamond ring, leaned on her hand, dismissively replied to the Li family’s second son who was sitting beside her, continuously praising her, "I’m very busy, you know."
"I know, I know, don’t I?" He assured, "I’ve told them, my girlfriend is so popular and busy. Just being together with her is scarce, where’s time for them? I warned them not to bother you 1314 times."
