Outside the garden of Villa No. 3 in Repulse Bay, the salty and humid air of the harbor seemed to still be filled with the echoes of the alarm just now.
In the shadow of the bushes, Zhou Zhishan and Li Siqi covered their mouths tightly, their eyes wide open, watching in disbelief what was happening in the villa garden.
The scene they had anticipated of Guo Jingzhu being taken away in a miserable state and even facing a lawsuit turned out to be a dramatic reversal!
The Japanese upstart Kobayashi Tenmo who has attracted the attention of the entire wealthy class in Hong Kong Island.
Instead of getting angry, he personally helped the "four-eyed girl" up with a gentle look that they had never seen on Guo Jingzhu's face, and even... invited her into the house?
"Gudong!"
Zhou Zhishan swallowed hard, her envious eyes almost burning a hole in Guo Jingzhu's back. "No, it's impossible... That ugly bastard Guo Jingzhu... Why?"
Li Siqi's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and the laughter that had originally been waiting for the show had long since frozen, leaving only the unwillingness stimulated by the huge gap:
"Is this fake? Mr. Kobayashi... is he a kind-hearted person? He's so kind to an ugly person?"
The more she spoke, the more she felt it made sense, "Yes, he must be too kind!
Even someone like Guo Jingzhu can be favored..."
She subconsciously touched her carefully maintained face, and a glimmer of pride rekindled in her eyes, "We are a hundred times more beautiful than that ugly thing, isn't it..."
Desire and jealousy instantly overwhelmed reason.
The two looked at each other and reached a consensus without words.
Without any hesitation, they suddenly stood up from behind the bushes where they were hiding and straightened their not-so-messy school uniform skirts.
He held his head high, put on what he thought was the sweetest and most innocent smile, walked quickly to the brightly lit door, and rang the doorbell forcefully.
The security guard opened the small window on the door with an expressionless face.
Across the iron fence, Zhou Zhishan spoke first in a deliberately sweet Mandarin: "Hello! We are Guo Jingzhu's friends!
Could you open the door and let us in?
We just saw Zhuzhu come in, we are with her..."
Li Siqi nodded vigorously, showing a standard smile with eight teeth.
Lin Huowang, who had just settled Guo Jingzhu and was about to turn around and go back into the house, stopped when he heard the sound.
He turned his head and his eyes lightly swept across the two faces outside the door, which were exquisitely made up and full of expectation.
His gaze was calm and peaceful, as if he was passing over two insignificant pieces of furniture, and even carried a hint of barely perceptible boredom.
Without asking, without pausing, Lin Huowang casually, almost lazily, waved his hand in the direction of the security guard, as if he was driving away two buzzing mosquitoes and flies.
The security guard immediately understood and said in a cold voice: "Ladies, no unauthorized personnel are welcome here. Please leave immediately! Otherwise, we will take action!"
This rude expulsion was like a bucket of ice water poured over my head!
The carefully constructed smiles on Zhou and Li's faces shattered in an instant.
“No!
We are not irrelevant..."
Zhou Zhishan stamped her feet anxiously and her face turned red.
"Didn't I just say that? We came here with Guo Jingzhu!"
Li Siqi added sharply, trying to shout inside, "Guo Jingzhu! Guo Jingzhu!
Please say something for us!
We are Zhishan and Siqi!
Your good friend!"
Their voices were particularly harsh in the quiet night and were clearly heard by Guo Jingzhu, whose arm had just been scraped by a servant with a warm towel.
In the garden, Lin Huowang turned around. He looked at Guo Jingzhu beside him and asked with a smile, "Ms. Guo, are those two outside... your good friends?"
Lin Huowang had actually guessed the relationship between Guo Jingzhu and the two women a long time ago, but he also wanted to see how this Miss Guo would handle this matter.
"They... I..."
Just when Guo Jingzhu's heart moved slightly, she bit her lower lip, and a hint of hesitation crept up her eyebrows.
"Guo Jingzhu! You know what to do!"
Outside, Zhou Zhishan was already furious. She desperately threatened in Cantonese, her voice remarkably clear in the silence, "Don't pretend you don't know us! Tell us what happened tonight, and when we get back to school... you know the consequences!"
("Guo Jingzhu!
You better know your place!"
"Don't pretend you don't know us!
If you tell anyone about what happened tonight and you go back to school... you know the consequences!")
These words were like an ice spike, instantly piercing through Guo Jingzhu's heart, piercing away the slight bit of reluctance and long-standing cowardice.
In her mind, the scenes of being ordered around and teased by them at school flashed back.
At this moment, they just wanted to use her to get close to Mr. Kobayashi, and they even used such vicious threats in front of Mr. Kobayashi.
An unprecedented surge of anger and humiliation suddenly rushed to his head, overwhelming his fear of the two women.
Almost at the same time Zhou Zhishan finished speaking, Guo Jingzhu suddenly raised her head, and for the first time her eyes were filled with determination and disdain as she looked towards the door.
Her voice was not loud, but very clear, with a firmness that she herself had not noticed: "Mr. Kobayashi, I don't know them."
After a pause, as if to encourage himself, he raised his voice a little, "They probably recognized the wrong person!"
This sentence is like thunder from the blue sky!
Zhou and Li, the two girls outside the door, couldn't believe their ears and stood there in a daze!
That timid Guo Jingzhu, who was always under their thumb, actually dared to say... that... she... didn't know him?!
A hint of understanding and a hint of admiration flashed in the depths of Lin Huowang's eyes.
