After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!

Chapter 688 - 553: Second Update

The truth is, she wouldn’t attend Fang Han’s wedding at all.

In her past life, she had no choice but to go; in this life, she’d have to be crazy to join in this unfortunate commotion.

When she received Fang Han’s call delivering the wedding invitation, she had already decided that on Fang Han’s wedding day, she’d let her aunt take the gift money over for her to express her feelings.

After all, she was a teacher; her whole family knew she didn’t earn much money.

So, she didn’t need to give too much gift money, just enough for good luck.

Eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight was a good amount.

If eight hundred eighty-eight wouldn’t expose the pretend sisterhood she’d maintained with Fang Han for over twenty years, she’d think eight hundred eighty-eight was even better.

But Fang Han seemed not to have seriously listened to her, continuing to talk on her own,

"Youyou, if you’re coming, you must bring your boyfriend along. Shi Wangyue is from Jin City. Although the Shi family has fallen, being with you, everyone will give him some respect. For his sake, you should bring him back for everyone to see, right? After all, his humiliation with the Shi family will be turned into pride."

The tone sounded as if Ning Youguang would definitely go, and certainly bring Shi Wangyue with her.

In the words, it all seemed for the good of Ning Youguang and Shi Wangyue.

Listening to this, Ning Youguang felt like laughing.

But this time, she merely pursed her lips and smiled at Fang Han, without saying anything.

Actually, it wasn’t that Fang Han didn’t understand Ning Youguang’s words; she just hoped no matter what, she would attend her wedding and bring Shi Wangyue.

Thinking about Shi Wangyue, her mood instantly became particularly complicated.

If she hadn’t heard her uncle mention it recently, she wouldn’t have known that the supposedly ordinary financial boyfriend Ning Youguang had found, as spoken of by her aunt, was actually just a regular finance guy like her.

At the time, she thought her cousin was wasting a heap of gold and not striving for progress, opting to be a university teacher, and found an ordinary guy in finance to date. It seemed her life would be like that.

She even sneered, "Really achieving something."

Yet unexpectedly, she truly achieved something.

No matter how hard she pondered, she couldn’t imagine that Ning Youguang’s boyfriend in finance was actually Shi Wangyue, who went abroad in high school.

Shi Wangyue.

Others might not know, but she certainly did.

He founded "Starlight Capital", a name so hallowed that countless people in the industry tried to sell their plans and PPTs to him, begging for his notice and favor.

It could be said that there’s no entertainer in the industry who wouldn’t hope to cozy up to this top mogul in the finance world, soaring to fame.

Not just entertainers, but even those backstage investors would nod and bow to him.

As for those in various industries related to finance?

It’s probably beyond anyone’s imagination.

When she first heard about this capital mogul in the industry,

she thought, "So impressive, he must be quite old and have a deep background."

However, in the industry, age isn’t feared, but poverty is. Wealth is equivalent to being a father.

Having money and willing to give it makes you even more a father of fathers.

She felt this person’s capitalization was so strong.

If she could get acquainted, even if she couldn’t say much to him, she’d gain significantly.

But then, after inquiring through various channels, she learned more specific information about this person’s identity, and instantly her soul was almost shocked out of her body.

In her life, she thought she’d never forget the day at the company, when her agent handed over a photo of this mogul before her.

In the photo, he sat before the Global Economic Forum, surrounded by renowned moguls all dressed in black suits, with only a blue technological background.

Clearly, it was merely an extremely plain, unedited photo.

But among the many people, only he, with just one look, brightened the entire plain stage.

Also instantly drew out seemingly forgotten memories like a kaleidoscope.

Clearly extracting from it a far mountain ridged, a laughing city-boy shadow.

After over ten years, the youthful beauty grew up and matured, yet that picturesque face, as bright as spring blossoms, hadn’t changed much.

Still, he’s unforgettable at first sight.

Through these years, she’s seen many boys and youths with stunning looks, but none as outstanding as him, as if he stepped out of literary classics.

She finally understood that the person everyone in the industry flocked to was the boy who stayed close behind her cousin, who everyone envied.

Lately, at her grandmother’s house, she heard the cousin was dating, and inadvertently brought it up with her uncle, who confirmed her cousin was indeed dating, with the partner being her primary, middle, and high schoolmate, named Shi Wangyue.

How to describe her feelings then?

As if she’d struggled all her life, working hard from dawn to dusk, thinking she could finally catch up with the person she longed to chase, only to find out.

The target she always wanted to chase could easily achieve what she couldn’t in a lifetime with just a raise of a hand.

Such feeling, how does one describe it? It’s lost, sour, hopeless, even somewhat doubting life.

Yet she would still occasionally, in social settings, when people admired and mystified him, pretend to say casually, "Some people, their factory settings differ from general folks, their talent and intelligence are superior, so at school, they skip grades, receive full scholarships, become a school deities, and after starting a business, their companies become industry leaders within a few years."

Then, the people around her immediately, like bees smelling honeydew from afar, gathered and exclaimed, "Hanhan, the way you speak suggests you know quite a bit about that mogul."

"There’s nothing much to know." Fang Han pretended to be nonchalant, but her eyes revealed flaunting and pride, "I was a high school alumni with him, and now, he’s dating a family member."

Isn’t this understanding enough?

The sycophantic people around her immediately had brightened eyes, enviously saying—

"Oh Hanhan, really, keeping it so deep. We’ve been talking for so long, and you never mentioned being schoolmates, being old friends."

"What old friends, didn’t you hear Hanhan, the mogul’s dating her family member, they’re almost family now, right?"

"Yes, yes." After figuring out Fang Han’s relationship with the mogul in mere words, their envy turned deeper, but their enthusiasm grew warmer.

"Hanhan, you’re really low-key, with such strong ties to Starlight Capital, and you never mentioned it. If we hadn’t chatted, you’d keep it tightly sealed."

"Hanhan, if you later get involved in some major production invested by Starlight, don’t forget us good sisters."

"..."

Simultaneously, there’s also regret, regret over such achievement not being a son, regret over Su Xingchen drifting further from them in recent years.

Now seeing the daughter not only set up her own company, but the company soon going public, it’s something they strived decades for, merely achieving under ten storefronts,
