Chapter 286 Calling him Dad won't help
Both the Han and Sheng families invited many media reporters to today's engagement banquet.
With the engagement banquet about to begin, many reporters still hadn't arrived.
Xu Fangli had already retired from the entertainment industry. Even when she was still in the industry, she was never very popular. She never thought that one day she would become famous because of a baseless rumor.
The Huanyu Building was blocked just two days ago, and it's blocked again today.
However, this time, the building management and security were well-prepared, and everyone was kept outside, with no one allowed to enter.
Today, the media and reporters were also quite law-abiding; no one forced their way in, and everyone waited outside with their equipment.
It wasn't until almost midnight that Xu Fangli finally came down, and the invited media reporters gradually left, heading straight to the H Hotel.
.......
At 11:40, the emcee arrived and was standing on the stage warming up the audience.
Han Ming, dressed in a well-tailored suit, stood smartly at the door.
Sheng Jinghui, who was standing next to him, was wearing a Chinese-style suit. With his slightly chubby figure, he looked more stylish than Han Ming.
The two people, one on the left and one on the right, greeted the invited guests.
Sheng Qianrui was around fifty years old when she came out. A girl with a pure and innocent appearance was supporting her, and it seemed that the two had a good relationship.
"Qianrui, the engagement ceremony is about to begin, why isn't President Han here yet?"
He Manting is a veteran artist of Yaoxing Media and has a high profile in the industry. Unlike Yu Wei and other minor celebrities who rely on popularity, she has positioned herself as a film actress since her debut.
Moreover, because of her straightforward personality and her pure yet slightly sweet appearance, she is very popular among many people in the industry.
He Manni doesn't exude the star power of celebrity; instead, her intellectual beauty shines through more.
Therefore, she has always been well-liked and has many friends both inside and outside the entertainment industry.
For example, Sheng Qianrui and Sheng Qianrui, although they are boss and subordinate, are actually good friends in private.
Sheng Qianrui's expression changed slightly, and she smiled faintly, saying, "He's probably been delayed by something. He's in charge of the entire Han family, so he's quite busy."
“I know, but an engagement isn’t a one-person affair. He should put down his work and come to be with you. There are so many guests here, leaving you here alone… Qianrui, love shouldn’t be so humble.”
Sheng Qianrui remained silent.
Seeing that her expression had turned sour, He Manni sighed slightly, patted her arm reassuringly, and said nothing more.
She thought that Sheng Qianrui was upset because of what she said.
Completely unaware that the engagement party was a self-deceiving one-woman show from beginning to end, Sheng Qianrui knew in her heart that Han Xi would never appear.
Her face was pale for two reasons: first, the engagement banquet was a result of a lie; second, she suddenly felt a pang of sadness and regret for her actions.
Even now, she still can't understand why Han Xi would put the cart before the horse.
Clearly, in terms of family background and social status, she and he are the most compatible!
But he completely disregarded her, and after much deliberation, he chose that woman who was utterly unworthy of respectability.
Now look what's happened, I've been fooled by that woman!
Han Xi probably doesn't know that woman is already married.
When he gets back, she'll see how he reacts to the news!
Invited guests arrived one after another, and Sheng Qianrui maintained a polite smile as she personally greeted them.
Xu Fangli got married?!
Even now, Sheng Qianrui is still struggling to process this news.
Is she married?
How dare she? !
A married woman, yet she doesn't know how to behave herself and instead seduce Han Xi?
Han Xi, such a proud man, was manipulated by her like this.
Despite my anger, I felt a sense of peace that I hadn't felt in days.
She was just worried about how to get her to leave Han Xi obediently. Now that she had admitted to being married, she figured it wouldn't be long before she was too ashamed to stay in the capital.
Otherwise, once Han Xi returns and finds out he's been cuckolded, she... might even lose her life!
Sheng Qianrui's smile grew wider and wider.
She pursed her lips, nodded, shook hands, hugged, and greeted each guest. At this moment, she had already regarded herself as the future mistress of the Han family.
Little did she know that before long, today would be a day she would never forget for the rest of her life!

"How about it?"
Xu Fangye sat back on the sofa in Fang Li's office with his legs crossed, glancing up at her.
Fang Li put down her phone with some disappointment and shook her head: "Still no one is answering."
"..."
"Brother, do you think something might have happened to him?"
Xu Fangye was speechless, rolled his eyes slightly, and said, "Why are you worried about this cunning old fox? I haven't seen him suffer any losses in all these years. If you really want to worry about him, you should worry about yourself."
"I?"
"Have you forgotten that Grandpa doesn't even know you're getting married? You're so brazenly publicizing it; do you really think Grandpa is some kind of reclusive old-fashioned person who doesn't read entertainment news at all?"
Fang Li choked, "Didn't you say you cut off the internet at the old house?"
Xu Fangye: "......"
"Brother, given your relationship with Han Xi, you must have a special way of communicating."
Fang Li stood up, smiled, and sat down next to Xu Fangye, saying, "Could you contact him for me? Just ask if he's alright and when he's coming back. What do you say?"
"Not very good." Xu Fangye shoved her hand off his arm.
He rolled his eyes at her and said, "Han Xi and I are just business partners. Now, because of you, we're at most related by marriage. I don't know anything about his affairs, so don't come looking for me."
"Brother~"
"Don't call me."
"Brother~"
"Calling me 'Dad' won't help!"
Xu Fangli pouted angrily, "Are you going to help me or not?!"
Xu Fangye turned his head to look at her, his thin lips curving upwards slightly, "No, help!"
As the smile on his lips disappeared, the ingratiating look on Fang Li's face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of utter dejection.
She snorted coldly and stormed out of the office.
As soon as she stepped outside, the expression on her face returned to normal.
"Has it started yet?"
Wen Yang was waiting outside the door early on. As soon as Fang Li came out, the two of them quickened their pace and walked outside.
"There are less than fifteen minutes left. Most of the media downstairs have already left. We shouldn't get blocked if we go out now."
"Okay, let's go!"
The two didn't go through the lobby, but went straight down to the underground parking garage.
Yu Tian was already waiting at the elevator entrance in his car. As soon as the two of them came down, he started the car and drove off with a whoosh.
