Chapter 1025: You'll Have to Pay the Price
Despite the disdain, we were still in someone else's home, and the two men were discussing a business partnership, so we had to give them face.
"Your Wenbo has really good taste; he took a liking to the Tang family's daughter at first glance. Tsk tsk tsk, his eye for talent is truly exceptional!"
Fang Linghua didn't know whether Xu Jia's words were a compliment or sarcasm, but let's just assume they were a compliment; that's what she thought anyway.
"That's what I thought too. I didn't expect this brat to give us such a big scare. I wasn't prepared at all." Fang Linghua was practically beaming with joy.
Xu Jia was both amused and exasperated when he saw Fang Linghua's expression. He had just praised her for being chubby, and she was already getting cocky. She dared to take something that was barely even started seriously. Did she think that her parents and uncles were just decorations?
She couldn't help but advise, "Linghua, don't be so happy about this. As far as I know, Tang Ruixuan has an uncle. You should be more careful about Wenbo pursuing Tang Ruixuan."
"Uncle?" Fang Linghua was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Who is this child's uncle?"
"You should know Huang Xiaochuan, right?"
Fang Linghua was completely stunned when she heard the name. She never expected that Tang Ruixuan was actually Huang Xiaochuan's niece.
After the initial shock came immense joy! Fang Linghua felt like she had struck gold, her heart overflowing with happiness, as if Tang Ruixuan would soon become her daughter-in-law.
If they could secure this marriage, it would be a great honor for the Li family, and they would visibly rise to the ranks of China's top wealthy families in the future.
Xu Jia took in Fang Linghua's expression from the side and shook his head inwardly. This family! They can't keep their composure at all. They lose their nerve as soon as they hear Huang Xiaochuan's name.
Although her family's resources were insufficient to have any contact with the Tang or Huang families, she had heard quite a bit about their affairs within Shanghai's wealthy circles.
She knew that what a family like her valued most was not wealth, but character and ability.
Furthermore, Tang Ruixuan is an only child, so the Tang and Huang families would naturally be very careful about her future spouse. Someone like the Li family would obviously not be considered by either of them.
"Linghua!" Xu Jia's attitude became more sincere at this moment. "Let me say something to you today. Tang Jianhua only has one daughter, Tang Ruixuan, so naturally he treats her like a precious jewel. It's not easy to get past him, but it's even harder to get past Huang Xiaochuan. Don't underestimate him just because he's an uncle. This uncle is different from others. I heard that Huang Xiaochuan raised Tang Ruixuan from a young age. You can imagine how much Huang Xiaochuan loves this niece!"
"Besides, I've met that child before. She was probably in middle school back then. Even at such a young age, I could tell she was a very opinionated child. It will be quite difficult for Wenbo to reach an agreement with her."
Fang Linghua's smile froze for a moment, but she immediately grabbed Xu Jia's hand and said with a smile, "Sister Xu, I know you're doing this for Wenbo's own good. The fact that the two children know each other and are classmates shows that it's fate. Besides, you know my Wenbo. He's good-looking and capable. His future is bright. I think he and Tang Ruixuan are a match made in heaven. Their marriage is just too perfect."
In fact, Fang Linghua was secretly plotting something. In her opinion, the Li family now had assets of hundreds of millions and was a prominent family in Jinling. If they could get close to the Tang family and Huang Xiaochuan, it would be a great thing for the Li family.
As for Tang Ruixuan's attitude, she didn't see it as a problem at all. Feelings can be cultivated! Girls can be pursued more, and with more help from their families, there's no girl they can't win over!
Seeing Fang Linghua's expression, Xu Jia stopped talking and changed the subject, discussing skincare and the latest new products with Fang Linghua.
She had already made up her mind that when she went back with the man later, she would remind him that the cooperation with the Li family needed to be discussed again. This family was obviously out of touch with reality. Tang Ruixuan clearly didn't have her eye on her son, yet she still wanted to make a move on the eldest daughter of the Tang family. They really didn't know what death meant.
Partnering with such a family would be extremely risky.
After seeing Xu Jia and his wife off, Fang Linghua couldn't wait to pull Li Xu into the bedroom and excitedly told him about Tang Ruixuan's identity and background.
"Old Li, Wenbo's taste is absolutely amazing! Guess who this Tang Ruixuan he likes is?"
Li Xu glanced at the woman and asked dismissively, "Whose is she?"
Fang Linghua, suppressing her excitement, asked, "Tang Jianhua's daughter from the Shanghai Huahong Group! Do you know who Tang Ruixuan's uncle is?"
"Tang Jianhua?" Li Xu was still searching his mind after hearing the name, since he had always been in Nanjing and was not very familiar with the wealthy circles in Shanghai.
Seeing that the man was still deep in thought, Fang Linghua said the name: "You must know Huang Xiaochuan, right?"
Nonsense, who in all of China and even the world doesn't know who Huang Xiaochuan is? He's the richest Chinese person, and his life is incredibly legendary.
So when Li Xu heard the name, he nodded subconsciously.
Unexpectedly, Fang Linghua hugged him and burst into laughter: "Huang Xiaochuan is Tang Ruixuan's uncle! Our Wenbo has really struck gold!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xu was also greatly surprised. "Really?"
However, unlike Fang Linghua, he was not as shallow. Having experienced many years of ups and downs in the business world, he did not show any particular happiness about this matter.
He frowned: "Do you know who Huang Xiaochuan is? He's Asia's richest man, a business tycoon, and an academic giant. Do you think his niece is so easy to marry?"
Wenbo likes her, but she might not reciprocate his feelings. Didn't you say before that Wenbo's gift to her was returned? Clearly, she's not interested in him.
But Fang Linghua was unconvinced: "Our family isn't bad either! In what way is Wenbo not good enough for that boy? Besides, who can predict matters of the heart? It's easy for a woman to pursue a man, and for a man to pursue a woman, as long as he puts in the effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle! Let's help our son too."
Li Xu secretly desired to marry into this family, so he finally agreed: "How do you want to help?"
However, he didn't forget to remind his woman: "Don't mess around. Those kinds of families hate it when people scheme against them. If they find out, our family will be in deep trouble."
Fang Linghua rolled her eyes at the man, dissatisfied: "Tch! Look at your guts. I don't know how you managed to build your business to this point. I think you're not even as good as me."
"Alright, alright, you do it!" Li Xu was naturally happy to save himself the trouble.
