Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 165 Lü Jingming Tells the Secret

"This family is a real mess!"

Fatty Lin scoffed, picked up a piece of goose wing with his chopsticks, and started gnawing on it.

"It wasn't a mess; Uncle did it intentionally!"

Lu Jingming thought for a moment and said, "My uncle is extremely power-hungry. He'll get rid of anyone who threatens his position!"

"Back then, the eldest son's family was mostly dead or injured, while the second son's family was powerful, so he supported his tenth aunt to fight against them!"

"Later, for the sake of her son, the tenth aunt showed signs of colluding with the second wife, so he kicked the tenth aunt out of the casino and promoted the fourth aunt to power!"

"This balancing act is just like Emperor Kangxi's. It's only because the Lü family doesn't have that many branches that it could have caused a power struggle among the nine princes!"

As Lü Jingming finished speaking, he shook his head.

"You seem to understand things quite well!" I said.

"I've seen plenty of cases of wealthy families fighting over inheritance!" Lu Jingming chuckled.

After laughing, he told us some secrets about the wealthy families in Hong Kong.

Finally, as if remembering something, he said, "Fatty, Feng, you know what? Fourth Aunt's youngest daughter isn't hers!"

"Is the 'he' you're referring to the gambling king, or his fourth wife?" Fatty Lin asked.

"Fourth Aunt!" Lu Jingming said.

"It's the gambling king's, not the fourth wife's. In other words, the youngest daughter was born to the gambling king's mistress, right?" I said.

"That's right!"

Lü Jingming nodded.

"Ah Ming, it seems you know who gave birth to this child!" Fatty Lin said.

"There's some gossip, I don't know if it's true or not, but judging from Fourth Aunt's attitude towards her, she's definitely not Fourth Aunt's biological daughter!" Lu Jingming said as he thought.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, just tell me, who gave birth to the child!" Fatty Lin said impatiently.

"Lidonna!"

Lü Jingming didn't mind, and uttered three words while eating.

"Who?"

I thought I misheard.

"Lidonna!" Lu Jingming repeated.

"That's not right, wasn't Li Danna with Li Feihong back then?" I said.

"When was Fourth Wife's youngest daughter born?" Fatty Lin asked.

Lu Jingming took a sip of his drink and said, "Born in '99!"

"Born in '99, the year Li Feihong and Li Danna got married!" I said.

"yes!"

Lu Jingming chuckled and said, "Isn't my uncle, the gambling king, quite the player?"

"Damn, this is more than just playing around!" Fatty Lin cursed, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"This matter is actually not a secret within the Lü family!"

Lu Jingming took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said, "My uncle is a womanizer, and he knows how to have fun. He's probably lost count of how many female celebrities he's been with over the years!"

"During those years, even though he had my fourth aunt, he didn't break off his contact with those female celebrities!"

"With the combined attacks from the second and third wives, my fourth aunt's position was in grave danger. In order to secure her position, she took the initiative to find women for my uncle!"

"You can find a woman, but you can't just find any woman. What if she rises to power and becomes the fifth wife?"

"So, you're going to find someone who's already taken, right?" I said.

"That's right!"

Lu Jingming nodded and said, "You can't just find anyone who's already taken. What if they dump their partner and go with my uncle?"

"After searching high and low, Fourth Aunt found Lydia!"

"Firstly, Lydia Shum has always been my uncle's type, and even after many years apart, he still can't forget her!"

"Secondly, the second and third wives would absolutely never agree to Li Donna becoming the fifth wife. If Li Donna were to have such thoughts, the second wife's family might just issue another assassination order!"

"Thirdly, Li Danna is taken. She's been with Li Feihong for many years, and the reason she was kicked out back then was because of a collaboration between Li Feihong and those other women!"

"After considering all the factors, Fourth Aunt decided to send Larry Donna to help her secure her favor!"

"This time, Fourth Sister is collaborating with Li Feihong again, right?" I asked with a smile.

"That's right!"

Lu Jingming smacked his lips and said, "Fatty, Feng, don't underestimate my family just because we're down on our luck. Even a broken ship has three nails. I haven't been wasting my time these past years. There's very little I don't know about what's going on in Hong Kong!"

"Li Feihong is no good. Among the celebrities who became famous in Hong Kong, few are as shameless as him!"

"Wow, you think highly of him!" Fatty Lin said.

"Fatty, don't lie to me, this is tall?" Lu Jingming was shocked.

"I think he's number one!" said Fatty Lin.

"Let's walk side by side!"

Lu Jingming pondered for a moment and said, "Zeng Xiaowei is about the same level as him!"

"Li Feihong is pretty awesome, like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!" I exclaimed.

"He doesn't see it that way. He calls it being able to take it and let it go!" Lü Jingming said.

"It really is!" I thought about it for a moment and remembered what President Yang had told me about Li Feihong offering Li Danna to Jingu.

This isn't the first time Li Feihong has used his wife to pave the way, nor will it be the last.

He not only used his wife to pave the way, but he also used his daughter. He sent his daughter to Jingu to become his secretary.

In terms of sheer savagery, he and Zeng Xiaowei are indeed on par.

"With this gift, is Fourth Wife being favored again?" Fatty Lin asked.

"Absolutely!"

Lu Jingming said in a Northeastern accent, "My uncle still had feelings for Lydia, and now that Lydia's status has changed and she's someone else's wife, he likes her even more!"

"My fourth aunt's move hit my uncle right where it hurts!"

"Later, Lydia became pregnant, and my fourth aunt took the child back and raised her herself!"

"After that, my uncle handed over some matters related to SJM Holdings to my fourth aunt!"

"The gambling king gave power to his fourth wife not just because of the woman, right?" I said.

Lu Jingming chuckled and said, "I think this is just my uncle testing my fourth aunt's obedience. Once she passes, she can do whatever she wants!"

"Interestingly, not long after giving birth, Li Danna married Li Feihong. That couple is really something!"

As he spoke, Lü Jingming exhaled a smoke ring.

"It's quite interesting!" I nodded.

"If you look at it that way, it's a win-win situation!" Fatty Lin said, taking a sip of goose head. "Fourth Wife uses Li Donna to consolidate her favor, Li Feihong wants to benefit from Fourth Wife, Li Donna wants to marry Li Feihong, and the Gambling King wants to fulfill his wish. Nobody loses out!"

"Right, right, not bad at all!" Lu Jingming nodded with a smile and said, "Fatty, you're really something!"

"Isn't it obvious? These people have formed a closed loop, each getting what they need!"

Fatty Lin shrugged.

"The richer you are, the more fun you have!" I shook my head.

"Fatty, Feng, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. You two need to be careful of the second wife's family, especially the eldest daughter!"

Lu Jingming seemed to remember something, and his expression changed slightly.
