Chapter 89
Luo Yinghong's tone was full of contempt.
Obviously, she looked down on Lu Qing who was from the mainland, and even more so on Chu Yueqing who was also from the mainland.
When Chu Yueqing was fortune-telling, Luo Yinghong had already decided on the top three candidates. This behavior was to question her ability.
The show was about to start, and the guests had almost arrived. Luo Yinghong's voice was embarrassing, and the other guests were so scared that they couldn't move, for fear of offending the famous black widow.
The girl sitting in the middle, however, had a calm expression from beginning to end, and raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke lightly.
"Well, so, is there a problem?"
A light remark made Luo Yinghong's face cold.
Luo Yinghong narrowed her eyes: "Ms. Chu is young, but she is very courageous."
"No match for Mrs. Luo." Chu Yue smiled, "She is cruel and merciless."
Her eyebrows were split, her cheekbones were protruding, and her eyes were fierce. Everything showed that Luo Yinghong had committed many evil deeds and was responsible for murder.
Xu Conglu silently raised his thumb under the table.
A master is a master, and he can even calculate this.
Before Luo Yinghong followed Mr. Luo, she was involved in gangs in Taiwan. After arriving in Hong Kong, she stood out from the crowd of beauties with her young beauty and various means. In the end, she married Mr. Luo, who was 30 years older than her. In order to please Mr. Luo, she took the initiative to change her name on the household registration, and later called herself Luo.
Luo Yinghong was not only cruel to others, but also to herself.
In order to successfully marry Mr. Luo, she bribed the underworld to kidnap Mr. Luo's eldest son, and she was shot five times to save his son.
At this point, the Luo family was convinced by her.
Luo Yinghong's eyes were fierce, and her big red lips pulled out a sneer: "It seems that Miss Chu also wants to try the taste." "
Huh?" Chu Yueqing blinked, "The taste? Want to kill me?"
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
"Miss Chu really knows how to joke." Luo Yinghong's smile froze. She didn't expect Chu Yueqing to say the word "kill" lightly, "Hong Kong is a society ruled by law, how could I kill someone."
Chu Yueqing said, "Oh, you didn't do this a few years ago."
Another sentence made Luo Yinghong's eyes burst into a cold light. Chu Yueqing's eyes were clear, as if she had seen through the filth she had committed in the past.
Impossible!
Luo Yinghong shook her head, no one could know what she had done.
Xu Conglu pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth, "A few years ago? Wasn't it when Mr. Luo died? Could it be Mrs. Luo..."
The other guests sitting at the same table also looked at Luo Yinghong with incredible eyes.
Not long after Luo Yinghong married into the Luo family, Mr. Luo died of illness.
The Luo family originally had three sons, and they died suddenly in various accidents over the years. The property that was not originally Luo Yinghong's turn to inherit finally came into her name.
After all the direct relatives of the Luo family died, it's not that no one in the outside world suspected Luo Yinghong. Even the police station summoned her several times. Each time, the media followed up and reported it extensively, but in the end, all came back empty-handed.
Luo Yinghong looked at Chu Yue with eyes full of hostility. This damn girl really can't be underestimated. She originally just wanted to use this to mock Xu Conglu, but she didn't expect to shoot herself in the foot.
She forced a smile: "Conglu, don't suspect me without any basis."
"Mrs. Luo." Xu Conglu shook the wine glass with a warning in her beautiful eyes, "Miss Chu is my distinguished guest. You are speaking rudely. Don't you think too little of the Xu family?"
"Conglu, how could I not think much of the Xu family?" Luo Yinghong's crab eyes gleamed with brilliance as she forced a fat smile.
"Your father and I are of the same generation and good friends. I look at you as my niece. I am afraid that you will go astray and make the wrong choice. Swindlers like these are always good at talking and fooling people, but they are not worthy of being in a refined society. I am also worried that you will be fooled."
The bodyguards on both sides opened the red wine and refilled the glass.
Luo Yinghong pretended to be a nagging mother-in-law and gave earnest advice, as if she really had a good relationship with Xu's father and really cared about Xu Conglu.
Xu Conglu didn't buy it, "Mrs. Luo doesn't have to worry about what kind of friends I make."
"Alas! Young women really don't know the insidiousness of human nature." Luo Yinghong picked up the red wine and took a sip, "Everyone knows that the top three beauties are selected by me, Luo Yinghong. But she insists on calculating that a girl from the mainland will win the championship. Isn't that ridiculous?"
After saying that, Luo Yinghong looked at Chu Yueqing again, "I'll give you a chance. You calculate it again. Who will win the championship in the end?"
Chu Yueqing ignored her.
Luo Yinghong sarcastically said, "You don't dare to count? That's right, there's only one hour left before the award is given. How can the facts that have been set in stone be changed? You want a girl from the mainland to take the championship? Unless the sky falls."
Chu Yueqing sat quietly beside her and watched her performance. It was not until Luo Yinghong put down the cup that she said indifferently, "Mrs. Luo, I wonder if you have heard a saying."
"What?" Luo Yinghong answered subconsciously.
"Don't be blindly confident in life." Chu Yueqing said indifferently.
"Blind confidence? Hahaha..." Luo Yinghong laughed, "There's only one hour left, and you still dream that a girl from the mainland can win the championship? You are really stubborn. I know you are also a girl from the mainland, and you have to have the ability to help your own people."
"There's only one hour left, I want to see how a girl from the mainland can win the championship."
Chu Yueqing smiled slightly, "I want to advise Mrs. Luo to cherish time, after all, you don't have much time left."
"I'm too lazy to waste words with you." Luo Yinghong said coldly. She couldn't move the Xu family for the time being, so she took her bodyguard to change tables.
After Luo Yinghong left.
The guests around dared to discuss in a low voice.
"Mrs. Luo is a bit overbearing, but she does have some truth to her words."
"I've read the fortune-telling column of the Great Joy Newspaper. It's all about praising the fortune-teller for his ability and accuracy. In my opinion, how is it possible for such a miraculous thing to happen?"
"Am I the only one who is curious about what the fortune-teller meant by an hour? Could it be that Mrs. Luo will suddenly die?"
"Don't talk nonsense, or you'll be slapped in the face by Mrs. Luo."
"She's a human, not a god."
"That's right, predicting that a mainland girl can win the championship and that she is destined to be a star for 60 years is simply hilarious."
"Even Andy Lau is not as famous as her."
"In my opinion, Miss Xu might have been fooled by a swindler."
"That's right. She's waiting for someone in person and speaking for the swindler. How stupid."
"If Master Chu is really capable, then Miss Xu's move can be called preparation for a rainy day. Which noble family in Hong Kong doesn't want to hire a truly powerful master of metaphysics?"
"Oh, you also say he has capabilities. Look at that girl, with a fair face and young age. Masters of metaphysics become more capable as they get older, all thanks to their accumulated experience. What's the point of hiring a 20-year-old girl? To help pour tea and water?"
"All in all, this girl is really good at bragging."
For an hour, she wanted to help a girl from the mainland get promoted through the shady dealings.
Let alone a fortune teller at a small sweet soup stall, even Xu Conglu might not have such ability. It was not because of anything else, Luo Yinghong knew very well that the Xu family would not allow Xu Conglu to do such nonsense.
No one believed a small fortune telling.
The reporters far away thought that the girl at the sweet soup stall was crazy.
How could she turn the world around in one hour!
Only Li Huiwen patted the cameraman and asked him to remember to record it for Chu Yueqing on TV later.
"Qingqing, I will send someone to protect you during this time. Luo Yinghong is not a good person."
Xu Conglu looked worried and told the history of Luo Yinghong's rise to power. "Many people outside suspect that Luo Yinghong did it."
Xu Conglu was very worried.
Originally, she was not a gossipy person.
If it was anyone else, Xu Conglu would not be so kind to disclose the news. But the target was Chu Yueqing, and she really couldn't bear to see Chu Yueqing being targeted by that vicious woman.
"The police station summoned Luo Yinghong many times, but she was eventually released due to insufficient evidence."
"Don't worry too much." Chu Yueqing smiled slightly. She could see that Xu Conglu was very worried about her. The originally proud young lady now had a sad face.
Xu Conglu shook her head: "It's easier to dodge an open attack than to guard against a hidden arrow. She already hated me, and I brought you here myself."
"Huh?" Chu Yueqing blinked curiously, "Why?" "
She once seduced my father in front of me, stripped naked, and when I found out, I went to the kitchen to get a bucket of rapeseed oil and poured it all over her." Xu Conglu recalled what happened back then, and disgust rose in her beautiful eyes again.
"It's for this reason that she wanted to take revenge when she got the chance."
Chu Yueqing followed her in, and hitting Chu Yueqing in the face was the same as hitting the Xu family.
Chu Yueqing finally understood, but she didn't care too much.
The host on the stage gave a speech, and the performance had already gone through two rounds. All the beauties in the finals had to perform in turn, and time passed by little by little.
The lady who took Luo's place at the same table was a petite woman who kept making phone calls with a mobile phone bigger than her head.
"Director Li, I am willing to sponsor the crew with two million as long as you are willing to give David a try for the male lead."
"Director Huang, that's right, I am willing to sponsor the crew with two million as long as you are willing to give David a try for the male lead."
The lady called countless people, but she kept using the same sentence.
Many people rejected her.
They just said that David's acting skills were too bad, but the lady kept assuring that David's acting skills had improved a lot.
Finally, a movie was released, but it was not the role of the male lead. The lady was a little hesitant, but when she heard the other party say that the main character was Stephen Chow and David could only play a small supporting role.
The lady's eyes lit up and she agreed.
Everyone knows that Mr. Xing has become very popular in Hong Kong in recent years. With Mr. Xing, the box office is guaranteed! It also means that David can stand out.
After hanging up the phone, the lady finally stopped making calls. She put away her mobile phone and saw that the wine glasses on the tables of the people were full, except for the empty one in front of Chu Yueying
. When she stood up to pour wine, she poured a glass for Chu Yueying. While passing the wine, the lady comforted, "Miss Chu, don't take what happened just now to heart. Mrs. Luo used to be a gangster. As the saying goes, people make mistakes and horses stumble. What's wrong with a wrong fortune?"
Chu Yueying looked at the red liquid shaking in the wine glass. She took the wine glass and smiled slightly, "Thank you."
She always returns kindness to kind people.
Time passed by bit by bit.
One hour passed, and half an hour was left in a blink of an eye.
The contestants backstage were getting more and more anxious.
The top three candidates stood at the door of the backstage so that they could go out first when the host read their names.
The other contestants took advantage of the break after the performance to sit together.
Some contestants even wiped their tears quietly. They all developed deep friendships during this period of time. After the competition, most of them did not choose to continue their careers in the entertainment industry, and they didn't know when they would see each other again.
Only Lu Qing stood silently. She wore a white lace half-high collar cheongsam, the lines were tightly wrapped, and she was worried that the ironed dress would wrinkle.
"Lu Qing." A sister asked, "When are you going back to the mainland?"
"Ten o'clock." Lu Qing concealed her regret and said in a low voice, "I will leave after the competition is over."
She used the remaining money to buy a ticket back to Nanjing.
"So anxious?" Several sisters were surprised and stood up to hug Lu Qing, "Why don't you play for two more days?"
Lu Qing shook her head and laughed, without answering.
Without money, how can she stay in Hong Kong, where prices are high and it is prosperous?
Even one more day.
She will feel stressed.
"Oops!" Suddenly, a bottle of ink hit Lu Qing's white cheongsam.
Luo Yuan pretended to be surprised, "Are you okay?"
Without waiting for Lu Qing to speak, Luo Yuan covered her lips and smiled, "Of course I'm fine. Anyway, the competition is about to end, and you are not like us, who have to go on stage to receive the award."
The other contestants were very angry and wanted to stand up for Lu Qing.
"Luo Yuan, what's so great about being the champion? How could you do such a thing?"
"Without your aunt, you are nothing!"
"You keep saying that Lu Qing is a country girl, but you actually lived in the countryside in Taiwan, so why do you look down on Lu Qing!"
"Yes, people from the countryside in Taiwan are superior?"
Luo Yuan smiled proudly, "Yes, I am the champion and I am great. If you have the ability, you also have an aunt who can give you the championship."
As she said that, Luo Yuan waved the draft paper and glanced at the beauties present with contempt.
"I still don't want to waste my time talking to you, I still have to memorize the acceptance speech."
The time for the award ceremony was getting closer and closer.
Compared with Chu Yueqing's calmness.
Xu Conglu finally couldn't hold back, she put down the wine glass and told the bodyguard, "Call my dad for me."
When the bodyguard took out the mobile phone and was about to make a call.
Being stopped by Chu Yueqing, her eyes were indifferent. Sitting in the central venue, the lights shone on her, and she looked more and more ethereal.
"Wait a few more minutes."
The people around were excited when they heard that Xu Conglu was going to compete with Luo Yinghong. When they saw Xu Conglu really cooperate and hung up the phone,
they became dissatisfied.
"Miss Xu, right? If the Xu family doesn't intervene to stop it, the champion will be announced immediately, and you have no chance of winning."
"That's right, it's a done deal, how could Lu Qing really take the top spot?"
"Call her quickly. I'm actually very optimistic about Lu Qing. If there is no shady deal, she will definitely be the champion."
"Yes, what a pity."
Luo Yinghong was at another table. She was determined to win the top three that were about to be announced. As long as the top three were announced, there would be countless invitations from film crews waiting for them.
She wanted to use this trump card to clean up all the dirty money of the Luo family.
"Mrs. Luo." Reporter Qin Kai handed out the interview manuscript, "Look, this is the interview manuscript of the three beauties. If there is no problem, I can match the time and publish it as soon as the champion is announced."
Luo Yinghong picked up the interview manuscript and read it, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."
Qin Kai was very surprised.
In the newspaper industry, everyone is trying to grab the first opportunity and the front page. As long as he publishes the prepared news as soon as possible, he will definitely become famous in the industry.
Luo Yinghong went to see Zhu Weijian carrying a camera, reached out and touched his crotch, blew him a kiss, "Baby, wait for me in the room tonight."
In front of the crowd, Zhu Jianwei blushed and replied, "Okay."
The surroundings were in an uproar. No one expected that Luo Yinghong had changed her taste. She stopped eating big stars and ate small fish like photographers.
The last ten minutes.
Zhu Jianwei aimed the camera at the backstage, where three award-winning beauties would appear.
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside with a bang.
Everyone was so scared that their necks shrank. They turned around to look.
At the same time, more than a dozen plainclothes policemen hurried in through the door.
Facing Xu Conglu's surprised expression, Chu Yueqing smiled faintly.
"Isn't the time just right?"
