TVB Building, dance training room on the eighth floor.
When Peter Ho disappeared behind the elevator door, the Miss Hong Kong contestants who had just held their breath and dared not say a word immediately exploded.
Seven or eight beauties almost simultaneously rushed towards Zhu Lingling who was still standing next to the water dispenser.
They surrounded her tightly and started talking at once.
Zhang Mali folded her arms and sneered, "Oh, Sister Lingling, you're so good at acting so high and mighty! You even pretended not to notice Young Master Huo right in front of you? Do you really think you're a phoenix? How dare you ignore Young Master Huo like this? Don't you even consider your own status? What's his status? What's our status? Do you really think you can win his favor by being so unconventional? Don't end up with nothing!"
It was obvious that Zhang Mary said this deliberately in a sour tone. In fact, in her heart, she was extremely jealous of Zhu Lingling for having just attracted the attention of Peter Ho.
At the same time, Li Meihua, who was standing nearby, immediately took over the conversation and began to echo it in a more sarcastic tone, "Exactly, Sister Lingling is really arrogant. Didn't you reject Xiao Linsheng before? Many of us are eager to get on Xiao Linsheng's bed. But you, such a good opportunity, wasted it like this. It's really infuriating."
Now, I wonder if you've figured out that Young Master Huo is playing hard to get and want to go big? Be careful or you'll get hurt!
The other contestants had similar attitudes and expressions. How could they not know what Zhu Lingling was thinking? In this world, women understand women best.
Zhu Lingling knew that they had seen through her thoughts, but she did not say anything to defend herself. She kept silent, pursed her lips, and quietly drank water from the cup.
However, Yu Qixia, who knew how to please both sides, squeezed her petite body to her side.
Then he took her arm affectionately, with a flattering smile on his face, and said, "Sister Lingling, don't listen to them! You are absolutely right! Who is Mr. Huo? What kind of beauties has he not seen? Only by being neither humble nor arrogant like you can you be special!"
I've seen it a long time ago, Sister Lingling, you have a long-term vision! The last time you rejected Xiao Linsheng, it was because you knew there was no way he would marry you, so you decisively gave up, right?
Doing this now is also to pave the way for entering the Huo family in the future, right? I think with your looks and intelligence, you will definitely be able to marry into the Huo family in the future. Hehe! When you become rich in the future, don’t forget to support me! "
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoyan, who usually kept her mouth shut, immediately smiled and said, "Promote? Yu Qixia, you're dreaming. Is it that easy to get into the Huo family? But... Lingling's refusal just now was really... surprising. The look in Young Master Huo's eyes was completely different from the way he usually looks at us."
These words seemed to flip a switch. Shi Jiayi, who had been silent in the corner the whole time, spoke timidly, her voice filled with confusion, "It's... it's a bit strange. We were all eager to get close to her, but when Sister Lingling pushed her away, Young Master Huo... seemed to be even more interested. He even turned back to look at Sister Lingling twice before leaving."
She came from a poor family and had a relatively simple mind, so she was mostly confused.
He Peipei, who had been silent the entire time, spoke thoughtfully, "Hearing Jiayi say that... I remember now. Wasn't that Mr. Xiaolin Tianwang the same thing before? He kept chasing after Sister Liu Rumeng. Sister Liu Rumeng just ignored him, but Mr. Xiaolin Tianwang, on the other hand, gave her jewelry and luxury cars, and even personally picked her up for a two million yuan dinner..."
As she spoke, she subconsciously looked at Liu Rumeng who was standing quietly on the outskirts of the crowd.
Liu Rumeng acted as if their topic had nothing to do with her. Her face was calm and cold, and she didn't care at all.
However, He Peipei's words immediately opened up the minds of all the Miss Hong Kong contestants.
Everyone's mind quickly flashed back to the unusual look that Ho Chun-ting gave Zhu Lingling, and also to the passion for pursuit that Kobayashi Tianwang had built up with a huge amount of money behind Liu Rumeng's cold face.
"Wait a minute..." Li Meihua, who had just been bullying Zhu Lingling the most, suddenly raised her head and said, "You're saying... that someone like Young Master Huo wouldn't be interested in us being so eager to show off? Should we be like Liu Rumeng, or like Sister Lingling just did... by keeping them on the edge of their seats, and that would actually make them more interested?"
"I'm afraid... that's it!"
Chen Xiaoyan's speech speed unconsciously became faster.
Her eyes swept over Liu Rumeng, then back to Zhu Lingling, and she said with a kind of enlightenment: "We are so stupid! Men, they are all cheap! Especially young masters like Huo Dashao and Xiaolin Tianwang who have everything they want. What kind of beauties haven't they seen? Those who throw themselves at them would probably be tired of them by now! Suddenly meeting someone who is not so enthusiastic about them, they feel fresh and challenging! They want to prove their own charm besides wealth!
"What you can't get is the best! This seems to be called the desire to conquer. Do you understand this feeling of men? I read it in a novel..."
At this time, Shi Jiayi also joined in and added with a vague understanding that these were lyrics she had read in a romance novel.
"That's right!" Yu Qixia's eyes lit up instantly, and she said, "It's the other way around! It's all the other way around! We used to think that if we met a rich husband, we had to seize the opportunity quickly, for fear that someone else would grab it first. Now, the more we lower our own value, the more others look down on us!
If Sister Lingling had just happily approached to please and seduce Master Huo, Master Huo would never have stared at her so closely! But she refused to give him face and pretended not to see Master Huo. This made Master Huo feel itchy inside. Maybe he would have to find a way to see Sister Lingling again tomorrow!
