Destined Entwining: Capturing My Devoted Beau

Chapter 1035: Chapter 487: She Is a Proper Person (Second Update)

Lawrence Winters relaxed, smiling broadly as he said, ”She’s not after money? That’s good if it’s not for money. If she’s just after people, it shows she’s not thinking straight. With Mrs. Fang’s skills, she could easily handle her. Why would she ask us to step in?”

Mrs. Fang saw Lawrence Winters finally praising her and clung to it like a lifeline, speaking candidly, ”...I initially thought the same but later realized I was too naive!”

Lawrence Winters’ eyelids twitched a little involuntarily.

Mrs. Fang’s tone inexplicably reminded him a bit of Ruby Sheldon, and the person she was accusing seemed to be him, Lawrence Winters...

He pursed his lips and quickly tossed this bizarre association out of his mind.

Mr. Zhuge followed up with a question, ”Then what did you do?”

Mrs. Fang clenched her fist, hesitatingly saying, ”Initially, I didn’t do anything too outrageous. I just... wanted to find her family and friends and let them know what she had been up to.”

”I hired a private investigator to follow her, track her activities, social relationships, and family ties, and it was discovered... discovered...” Mrs. Fang covered her face, ”she turned out to be Mr. Yu’s first love’s daughter!”

”Oh?” Lawrence Winters was very curious, ”Did you find her mother then? Wouldn’t that make it simple? Talk to her mom, and surely her mother won’t let her daughter be involved with her own first love.”

She might even oppose it more strongly than Mrs. Fang.

Mrs. Fang took her hand off her face, shaking her head, and said through gritted teeth, ”Her mother has passed away, leaving her an inheritance, so she doesn’t have to work and can enjoy a luxurious life, allowing her to scheme on how to undercut others!”

Lawrence Winters: ”...”

”And then? That only proves she’s wealthy, it doesn’t prove she’s not ordinary, or not human, right?”

Mrs. Fang took a deep breath, ”Yes, it doesn’t prove anything. So, I went to her again. This time, I told her I knew who... her mother was and asked her not to continue tangling with my husband. Her mother would definitely be angry if she found out.”

”Yet Miss Tang completely ignored me, continuing on her own way, saying she is herself and her mother is her mother. What her mother couldn’t get, she would get for her...”

Mrs. Fang began to sob, covering her face and silently shedding tears.

Mr. Zhuge sighed and handed Mrs. Fang the tissue box from the coffee table, saying, ”These young women are really reckless, as if they won’t ever grow old. Aren’t men decades older than them just naive? Will an old house actually catch fire? It’s still a matter of mutual need...”

She desires the sense of tolerance brought by time and the security brought by wealth, while he possibly only wants youthful, lively flesh.

Lawrence Winters looked at Mr. Zhuge with surprise, not expecting him to be so perceptive.

Mrs. Fang pulled a tissue from the box to wipe the tears off her face, choking up, ”Mr. Zhuge understands. We all know that’s the logic, but insiders tend to be confused.”

”Plus, she looks just like my husband’s first love, how could he escape her grasp?”

Lawrence Winters raised his eyebrows, ”What did you just say? Can you say it again?”

Mrs. Fang was interrupted and was momentarily stunned, ”Say what again?”

”Just the words you said.”

”...How could he escape her grasp?”

”The sentence before that.”

”She looks like my husband’s first love?”

Lawrence Winters clapped his hands, ”That’s the sentence!”

He eagerly pursued, ”How much alike are they exactly? Do you have photos of Miss Tang’s mother?”

Mrs. Fang hesitated, saying, ”Their facial features and body are very similar, but Miss Tang is more modern, while Miss Tang’s mother was old-fashioned, quite different in temperament.”

Actually, she had seen Miss Tang’s mother back in the day, a woman always retrieving balls on the tennis court, timidly too afraid to meet others’ eyes, nothing like Miss Tang now with such an alluring demeanor.

Unable to resist, she snorted lightly, ”Miss Tang’s mother was a proper woman, unlike her daughter...”

Meaning that Miss Tang isn’t proper then...

At this point, Lawrence Winters thought it was quite normal for Mrs. Fang to have a poor impression of Miss Tang.

No woman would sincerely praise their husband’s mistress.

He was no longer interested in Miss Tang now, only wanting to see photos of Miss Tang’s mother.

Thus he said again, ”Do you have photos of Miss Tang’s mother?”

Mrs. Fang didn’t say yes, nor did she say no, just frowned, saying, ”That was a long time ago...”

”At most thirty-five years ago, back then, although there weren’t smartphones to take pictures at any time, cameras were popular, and photography wasn’t an unattainable thing, so there should be photos left.”
