Qian Shuzhen was busy sorting out the Hong Kong and Macao newspaper materials that had accumulated over the past few months and had been sent from overseas through various channels.
This work is complicated and boring, and she needs to filter out potentially valuable news clues or social trends.
She flipped through a stack of colorful newspapers filled with business news and celebrity gossip that she didn't quite understand.
Suddenly, several headline photos in the entertainment section caught her attention.
The woman in the photo is bright and charming, with outstanding temperament, wearing a gorgeous evening gown or swimsuit, and smiling confidently and dazzlingly. The title is even more eye-catching:
"Miss Hong Kong runner-up Liu Rumeng stunned everyone!"
"Mysterious billionaire Xiaolin Tianwang and Miss Hong Kong star Liu Rumeng's romance is heating up!"
"Liu Rumeng: The legendary journey from a mainland girl to a Hong Kong socialite!"
Qian Shuzhen's eyes widened instantly! She couldn't believe her eyes.
The radiant "Miss Hong Kong runner-up Liu Rumeng" in the photo was actually the Liu Rumeng she knew!
Liu Rumeng, who was taken back to Shanghai by her mother after divorcing Lin Huowang!
An indescribable complex emotion suddenly surged into Qian Shuzhen's heart.
Shock, confusion, and then... a strong, sour indignation!
"She...she actually went to Hong Kong? And participated in a beauty pageant? Miss Hong Kong? How shameless!"
Qian Shuzhen muttered to herself, her fingers unconsciously tightening around the edge of the newspaper. "How long has it been since we left Linhuowang? And already she's dressed up to attract attention? And she's even hooked up with some Hong Kong tycoon?"
This perception of "climbing the ladder" made Qian Shuzhen feel inexplicably humiliated.
She felt sorry for Lin Huowang and thought Liu Rumeng had completely let him down.
The inferiority and distance he once felt when facing Liu Rumeng were now replaced by a sense of moral superiority and contempt.
She continued to read the reports with a strong critical and curious attitude.
The report is full of praise for Kobayashi Tenmo, the "mysterious Japanese-Chinese tycoon", "media tycoon", "real estate upstart", as well as the jealousy between him, Liu Rumeng, and Peter Ho, as well as various speculative scandals.
With every line of words she read, Qian Shuzhen's contempt and resentment deepened.
"Kobayashi Tenno..."
She read the name and felt very disdainful that Liu Rumeng actually found a "Japanese devil".
At this moment, she turned to another newspaper, which contained a relatively brief financial news with a photo of the scene.
The photo was taken at a signing ceremony-like event with many people present.
But Qian Shuzhen's gaze was instantly fixed on one of the profiles!
The photo quality is not very good, it is a bit blurry and is in black and white.
The man was dressed in a suit and tie, talking to the person next to him with his head tilted sideways. He was wearing a top hat that was quite common in Hong Kong's business community at that time, covering half of his forehead.
However, the facial contours revealed under the brim of the hat, the straight lines of the nose, the slightly pursed lips with a hint of habitual determination, and especially the eyes, even through the blurred print, half a profile, and the shadow of the top hat, Qian Shuzhen would never have been able to make a mistake!
The calmness and depth in those eyes had appeared in her dreams countless times, appeared on the ridges of the fields in Linjiagou, and appeared in front of the Chuncheng Newspaper Office!
A powerful electric current instantly rushed from Qian Shuzhen's tailbone to the top of her head, making all the hairs on her body stand up!
Her hands shook violently and the newspaper in her hands almost slipped.
"It's him! This is Lin Huowang!"
This thought exploded in her mind like thunder, making her ears buzz.
All the resentment, contempt and confusion just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, like clouds blown away by a hurricane.
Instead, there was a huge shock brought by sudden enlightenment, and a blank feeling that was almost dizzy from being shocked by the truth.
"Xiao Lin Tian Wang... Xiao Lin Tian Wang... So it's Lin Huo Wang! He... He actually chased me all the way to Hong Kong? And he even changed his identity? So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"
She stood there blankly, checking the blurry profile photo over and over again.
That’s right, it’s definitely a forest fire!
Although their dress and temperament are completely different, the things in their bones can't be deceived.
Qian Shuzhen's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something, then suddenly loosened and began to beat violently.
It turns out that the wealthy "new love" of Liu Rumeng, who is shining brightly and is hotly discussed by the whole of Hong Kong, is not a stranger at all. He is the treasure she once owned but was forcibly taken away by her mother - Lin Huowang!
Not only did he find her, he also re-entered her world in such a shocking and completely transformed way that it even stirred up the entire Hong Kong Island!
Qian Shuzhen looked at the radiant photo of Liu Rumeng in the newspaper, then looked at the blurry but unforgettable profile next to it. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, only endless shock and an indescribable... complex sigh.
Everything Lin Huowang did for Liu Rumeng really far exceeded the limits of what she had ever imagined.
