Time goes back to an hour ago. The night breeze from Repulse Bay, carrying the smell of the sea, blew through the bushes. The three girls who had been hiding in the shadows since around eight o'clock were already squatting until their legs and feet were numb.
The dark blue pleated skirt, unique to St. Paul's Girls' School, was covered in grass and dust.
Guo Jingzhu, who was in the lead, bent his waist with difficulty, trying to relieve the soreness in his legs.
On her round face, which was not considered pretty, a few obvious pimples were clearly visible in the shadows, her nose was flat, and her lips were slightly thick.
At this moment, she tried to open her eyes wide, staring at the brightly lit, simple yet imposing villa not far away - Repulse Bay No. 3.
The two girls sitting closer to her were wearing the same school uniform as her, but their temperaments were very different.
Miss Zhou Zhishan, whose English name is Sylvia Zhou, is thin and tall, with her chin always slightly raised.
Li Siqi, the daughter of the Li family, whose English name is Cici Li, has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a kind of arrogance that comes from being spoiled.
Although their family background is not top-notch in Hong Kong, it is far superior to that of the Guo family, a "Shanghai immigrant" who barely squeezed into the lower middle class of the wealthy circle.
In the girls' school, Guo Jingzhu was always the "ugly duckling" who followed behind the girls and was ordered around.
Until recently.
Guo Jingzhu's cousin Liu Rumeng became a hot favorite for Miss Hong Kong with her stunning beauty and Mr. Jin Yong's article "There is a Beauty in the North", and major newspapers in Hong Kong competed to report on it.
An even more explosive rumor is that Huo Zhenting, the eldest son of the Huo family who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, seems to have a special liking for Liu Rumeng.
This has caused Guo Jingzhu, who is related to Liu Rumeng, to see her value soar in the eyes of her female school classmates in the past few days.
Although Zhou Zhishan and Li Siqi still looked down on her deep down, at least on the surface, they were willing to let her play with them and gave her some space to interrupt.
But even so, Guo Jingzhu still felt angry and proud of herself.
She felt that her Guo family, especially her cousin's help, could finally stand on equal footing with the daughters of old-established families like Zhou and Li!
She, Guo Jingzhu, is not just a follower and the one being laughed at!
I came here tonight because Zhou Zhishan and Li Siqi half encouraged and half ordered me to do so.
They had heard from somewhere the many rumors about the mysterious tycoon "Kobayashi Tenmo", and they couldn't help but want to see what this young Japanese tycoon, who had suddenly attracted the attention of the entire upper class of Hong Kong Island, looked like.
Guo Jingzhu was both excited and nervous, but she wanted more to appear "knowledgeable" in front of Zhou and Li - she had carefully read all the news reports about "Kobayashi Tenbo" in newspapers and TV reports in the past two days!
At this moment, the cat has been waiting outside the villa for so long. Although it is very tired and embarrassed, Guo Jingzhu has a hint of stubbornness in her heart: Look, I am "the same" as them. I can also wait here, and I will be able to see this handsome young man soon!
Time passed minute by minute, the street lights cast long shadows on the road, and it was almost ten o'clock.
Just when the three girls were about to give up, two dazzling headlights came from the distance.
The silver Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow glided silently to the door of the villa and stopped.
The back door opened and a young figure stepped out nimbly.
"ah--"
Li Siqi let out a low scream and quickly covered her mouth, her eyes widening. "The real person... the real person is a hundred times better looking than the one in the newspaper!"
Zhou Zhishan also held her breath, and her carefully manicured nails unconsciously dug into her palms.
"Handsome...so elegant...and that car..."
There was a dreamy haziness in her exclamations.
The combination of top wealth and top appearance instantly struck the deepest vanity and desire in the hearts of these two girls from wealthy backgrounds.
Guo Jingzhu's heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of her throat!
She had only caught a glimpse of him in a blurry candid photo in the newspaper before, but now seeing the real person up close, the impact was far beyond her imagination.
He seemed like a wealthy prince who had walked out of the screen and existed only in the most beautiful dreams of young girls!
Her eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed with excitement and an inexplicable sense of humility, and she muttered to herself almost obsessively:
"Mr. Xiao... Mr. Xiaolin is so handsome and so rich! If I could marry a husband like him in the future, I would die immediately. It would be worth it..."
This silly and infatuated look was clearly seen by Zhou Zhishan and Li Siqi who were standing next to her.
Undisguised disdain and contempt flashed across the eyes of both of them.
Why?
You are just an ugly girl from the Guo family, and you dare to dream of marrying a rich man like Mr. Kobayashi?
Zhou Zhishan snorted inwardly and looked at Guo Jingzhu with a squint.
In her eyes, Guo Jingzhu, an ugly girl from a humble background who was mocked by the boys behind her back as "Guo Dafanshu," actually dared to drool over Mr. Kobayashi and fantasize about him like them? How could she possibly deserve that?!
Li Siqi also rolled her eyes and felt nauseous.
The "sense of equality" that she reluctantly gave to Guo Jingzhu because of Liu Rumeng's rising fame disappeared in an instant when she saw Guo Jingzhu's disgusting look of a toad looking at a swan.
A strong sense of family superiority and a feeling of being offended came over me.
An idea arose in the minds of both of them at the same time.
After looking at each other, the two women reached a tacit understanding with a sneer.
"Hello, Guo Jingzhu."
Zhou Zhishan lowered her voice, with a hint of deliberate impatience and encouragement, "What's the point of just hiding here and watching? If you want to take a picture, take a clear one!"
