The fate of the "Gambling King"'s first wife is deplorable. Why do women who "marry down" often have bad luck?

The love stories of rich people have always been something that everyone can’t get enough of.

A few days ago, the 97-year-old "Macau Gambling King" Stanley Ho was hospitalized due to illness, which also implicated his past with his fourth wife. The hot search topic was his first wife, Lai Wanhua. .

Compared to other aunts who have three bedrooms and enjoy the success, this first wife who accompanied Stanley Ho to make a fortune is really miserable.

In 1941, when Stanley Ho first fled to Macau, he had only 10 Hong Kong dollars in his body, making him extremely poor.

In order to make a living, he worked in a company called "Lianchang" and met Li Wanhua by chance.

At that time, Lai Wanhua not only had a distinguished family background, her ancestors were all high-ranking officials in Portugal, and her father was the only notary in Macau. She was also outstanding in appearance and was known as "the most beautiful woman in Macau Street" with countless suitors.

Ho Hongshen only took care of her for a short period of time before he gradually became impatient. Not long after, he came together with Lan Qiongying in the name of looking for a private caregiver.

When Li Wanhua was suffering from illness, Stanley Ho and Lan Qiongying were playing in the dance hall every night.

What's even more outrageous is that Stanley Ho immediately showed off his cards to Li Wanhua, saying that he wanted to marry Lan Qiongying.

Li Wanhua was extremely angry because the Portuguese hated polygamy the most, and they had agreed when they got married that they would abide by the Portuguese law of monogamy.

But at this time, Stanley Ho's foundation was already solid, so he would not take Li Wanhua's words seriously. He categorically stated that he was Chinese and according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, it was not illegal for a man to marry two wives.

Li Wanhua was helpless, knowing that she could no longer change anything, so she could only cry secretly and acquiesced to the fact that she shared her husband with another woman.

But she may not have thought at that time that her husband had married two women in succession.

Yes, life is such a long road. Instead of occupying a gorgeous co-pilot, it is better to take the steering wheel yourself and become the master of your destiny.

Even if one day the person next to you suddenly changes his mind and the past kindness no longer exists, you will not panic because you have not lost the ability to fly.

When you love, you can ignore the gains and losses. When you don’t love, you can bravely leave and live your own wonderful life.

This is the confidence a woman should have in marriage!

Is a prosperous husband the best compliment for a woman? No, Wang himself is the one!
