Chapter 707 - 562: She Only Has Value When There’s a Purpose
Fang Han leaned against Li Er’s embrace, but where he couldn’t see, a cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth.
If her father-in-law hadn’t specifically mentioned Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue.
She wouldn’t have remembered that ever since she started dating Li Er, he would always intentionally or unintentionally inquire about matters concerning her uncle’s family.
Yet just now, the change in attitude from her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband made Fang Han finally understand why they pursued her so eagerly when they were courting her, and after dating, rushed into marriage so urgently. Apart from the ties to her grandmother’s and uncle’s family, they were particularly interested in Shi Wangyue’s connections.
While being affectionately entwined with Li Er, Fang Han suddenly felt a coldness in her heart she’d never experienced before.
But soon, her heart returned to normal.
Fang Han’s face once again displayed a sweet and happy smile as she stretched out her slender arms to embrace the broad back of her partner, thinking very calmly—
She hadn’t ignored the deeper reasons behind Li Er’s rush to get engaged and married.
She wasn’t unaware of Li Er’s various bad habits shared with many of the wealthy sons of Hong Kong’s elite.
But, similarly, she understood that, considering their family background, appearance, age, and capability, he was the best marriage prospect she could choose both for now and the future.
Her family’s situation couldn’t wait.
Right now, she can still maintain the dignity of the Fang family’s eldest daughter, and before the family’s situation erupts, she can gracefully marry into a good family.
When the family’s troubles eventually come to light.
She might be excluded from this social circle, and the choices available to her would have to drop several levels.
Not only would the choice of her marriage partner have to downgrade, but her career would also suffer losses in terms of connections and resources.
Yes, aside from her own family, she has a strong external family, she has an uncle.
But frankly, though it’s her reliance, it’s also her outpost; in that family, she’s still considered an outsider.
Her surname is Fang, not Ning.
Her uncle has a business he built single-handedly, unrelated to her, and her aunt controls her grandfather’s enterprise, expanding and strengthening it with her own abilities. Previously, her mother didn’t receive any substantial benefits from it, and now it’s even less likely.
As the family situation worsens year after year, she has realized that no one will help them unconditionally and wholeheartedly, not even her grandparents.
The greatest reliance a person can have is themselves.
If you have resources, help from others becomes an enhancement.
If you lack resources, such help is merely a moon reflected in water or a flower in a mirror.
Now, which family with even a little asset is not pragmatic?
Without real benefits, who would truly accommodate you based on reputation alone?!
No businessperson is willing to do a losing deal.
Having navigated the fame and fortune arena so effortlessly from a young age, she understands too well that all relationships boil down to competition in strength.
Without these, who would truly give you face?
A person’s fear stems from their dread of the unknown.
In truth, when deciding to marry Li Er in a flash, it’s not like she felt no fear or hadn’t considered the possibility of a hidden trap.
She got to where she is now solely because she considered everything possible, and after weighing the pros and cons, clearly realized that Li Er was the most suitable marriage partner she could catch at the moment.
Having figured out what the other party wants from her, she instead feels fearless.
Really, she is not at all afraid of the purposeful approach of the other party.
Purpose is good.
Having a purpose means she has value; value enables her to establish herself better in the Li family.
"What of the Li family?"
Fang Han couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
Aren’t they still in need of her?
...
On the day of Fang Han’s wedding, Ning Youguang wasn’t actually busy.
She deliberately watched as calls from the Fang family came in one after another without answering.
Not only from the Fang family but also any messages or calls from people related to them or attending Fang Han’s wedding were ignored.
Avoiding all links with that side promptly means avoiding all troubles from there.
Having suffered losses in her past life for so many years, Ning Youguang now truly understands how to handle complex people.
