Chapter 17

A paparazzi turned his eyes and looked at Song Shu and said, "Miss, may I ask what is your relationship with Mr. Zhang? What do you think about his relationship with Tian Tian?"

When the other paparazzi heard this, they did not miss this opportunity and asked Song Shu one after another: "Miss, do you know Mr. Zhang? Why did you bet on his horse?"

"Miss, do you think that Young Master Zhang is more powerful than Young Master Li, so you bet on Young Master Zhang?"

"Miss, are you and Tian Tian planning to compete for one man?"

…

This scene made Song Shu think for a moment that she was some big TVB star.

Listening to the questions asked by the journalists and paparazzi, they are really good at talking nonsense. The questions they ask have absolutely nothing to do with her in eight hundred years. They are just talking nonsense based on pictures.

It is obvious that Song Shu has nothing to do with Zhang Ershao, but in order to get explosive news, the paparazzi will turn white into black.

Song Shu has witnessed the capabilities of the Hong Kong paparazzi, and finally understood why so many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities in later generations directly confront paparazzi, or answer questions irrelevantly, because what these paparazzi say is really irritating and they are really good at making up stories.

Therefore, I couldn't answer their questions at all, otherwise I would be led astray.

Chen Zonghao, who was standing aside, turned pale when he heard these questions. Song Shu felt that if he hadn't been holding Jiahui in his arms, he would have gone up to let the paparazzi open their eyes and see the consequences of saying the wrong thing.

Song Shu pulled Chen Zonghao over and held his hand. Facing the paparazzi, she was not nervous at all. "Ladies and gentlemen, I am just an ordinary citizen. I don't know any Zhang Ershao or Li Ershao. I came to watch the horse racing with my husband and niece tonight. As for why I bet on Zhang Ershao's horse, please look at the clothes my family is wearing."

What clothes? This was the question that the people present asked after hearing Song Shu's words, but they couldn't help but look at the clothes that the family was wearing as she spoke.

At first glance, I found that this family was dressed very fashionably, uniquely and eye-catchingly.

Song Shu saw that they noticed the clothes she was wearing and looked at the paparazzi, "Look carefully and take a picture."

When a person looks at another person intently and speaks with a hint of command, the person being stared at will involuntarily follow his words and actions.

Therefore, after Song Shu finished speaking, several paparazzi couldn't help but follow her words and took up their cameras to take a few photos of the family of three.

Song Shu watched them take pictures and continued, "We bet on horse number 7 because we are wearing Zhiyu clothing. Wearing Zhiyu clothing and watching horse racing will bring us good fortune."

After she finished speaking, Song Shu felt extremely ashamed. She wanted to find a hole to crawl into, but she had to do it for the sake of advertising the clothing. She didn't care about her face. So no matter how ashamed she felt, she smiled and finished her words.

However, she couldn't help but use some strength when holding Chen Zonghao's hand, betraying her nervousness, and she felt that the man's shoulder seemed to move a little closer to her.

Song Shu got a bit of courage from the warmth from her hands, and continued to speak in one breath: "To buy Zhiyu clothing, go to Tung Kok Street in Causeway Bay."

After saying that, he smiled and looked at them. As long as he was not embarrassed, they would be the ones who were embarrassed.

After hearing her words, the other reporters looked at each other, and then looked at the family of three standing together. They had nothing to do with Young Master Zhang, and they were not from the entertainment industry. They were just ordinary citizens, and seemed to be selling clothes. It was the first time they saw someone advertising with them.

I couldn't help but take a second look at these three people. Not to mention that this man and woman look pretty and stylish, they're no less than celebrities.

However, after hearing what she said, the other paparazzi immediately lost their desire to explore her. After all, there was no explosive news. They turned around and continued to chase Zhang Ershao and the others, "Zhang Ershao heard that..."

Song Shu looked at the scene in front of her which had become deserted again, and she did not react much. After all, paparazzi make a living by gossip, so why would they pay attention to such trivial matters?

But with so many journalists and paparazzi, if even just one of them included a photo of them in his report or mentioned it casually, Song Shu would have achieved her goal tonight.

So she looked at Zhang Ershao who was surrounded by paparazzi again, and decided not to join in the fun. She took Chen Zonghao's hand and looked up, "Let's go."

Chen Zonghao looked at the man with frowning eyes in the night and nodded, "Let's go."

Halfway through the walk, Song Shu slapped her head and said, "I forgot, we haven't redeemed our bets yet. Come on, this is money."

As she spoke, Song Shu pulled Chen Zonghao towards the place where the bets were placed. When they got there, the place was crowded with people.

The result of this game was completely unexpected, so a lot of people lost their bets. When Song Shu walked over, she heard a lot of cursing.

"I lost a lot tonight."

"Young Master Zhang must have had shit luck tonight. How could his horse possibly win? I didn't even bet on him to win."

"No matter if it's just luck or not, we stepped on shit for real. I bought the number 7 and got rich tonight."

"Yes, I saw that there were few bettors, so the odds of winning are very high."

…

Song Shu was not bothered by their scolding, but when she heard that the odds were high, her eyes lit up. She wondered how much she had won in the end after betting two hundred.

"What? You said I exchanged 20,000 Hong Kong dollars for this bet?" Song Shu looked at the staff with the receipt in her hand, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but raise her voice.

No, it’s twenty thousand. This is twenty thousand Hong Kong dollars. Song Shu rubbed her eyes to confirm again. After getting the staff’s confirmation, she almost couldn’t help singing a song.

I couldn't help but pat Chen Zonghao's arm and said happily, "I won 20,000. Hahaha, I'm so lucky tonight."

Chen Zonghao couldn't help but smile when he saw her laughing happily, and joked: "The goddess of luck favors you."

The people around couldn't help but come closer after hearing what Song Shu said, "Pretty girl, that's amazing, you bet on horse number 7?"

"Oh my god, someone actually bet on number 7. They made a fortune."

"Girl, how do you choose your racehorse? Tell me."

A group of people surrounded Song Shu enviously and asked her all sorts of questions, but before they could get close, they were blocked outside by Chen Zonghao. Seeing that he looked like someone who was not someone to be trifled with, everyone dared not get too close.

When Song Shu saw this scene, she frowned in annoyance. She was careless and forgot to show her money in her happiness. She quickly exchanged the tickets with the staff, then ran away quickly with Chen Zonghao.

Song Shu stopped only after running out of the racecourse. She was still worried and looked around furtively. After all, the security in Hong Kong was not very good right now, and who knew if a robbery would happen.

Chen Zonghao saw that she was nervous about protecting her money and said, "You little money-grubber, aren't you telling everyone that you have money?"

After hearing what he said, Song Shu immediately stood up straight. Her eyes moved around him. Thinking of something, she reached out and opened one side of his denim jacket. She remembered that there was a small pocket inside the jacket.

Chen Zonghao didn't expect that she would actually pull him up, and his body leaned back reflexively, but she pulled his clothes and said, "Don't move."

Song Shu was focused on hiding the money on him. He was so tall and strong that the thief didn't even dare to pay attention to him.

After opening his coat, she saw that there was indeed a small pocket. Song Shu put the 20,000 Hong Kong dollars in it, then patted his chest, raised her head and said flatteringly: "Hey, help me hide the money, I'll treat you to sweet soup later."

Chen Zonghao only felt his chest beating as she patted him. He looked away after meeting her smiling eyes. "Whatever you say."

Song Shu hid the money and felt relieved. He turned around and saw Jia Hui had fallen asleep on his shoulder. No wonder she was so quiet. "Oh, Jia Hui fell asleep. Let's go."

"Mommy, I'm back."

Mrs. Zhang was sitting in the living room watching TV. When she looked up, she saw her eldest daughter, Zhang Shiqi, open the door and walk in. She threw the bag in her hand on the sofa and then sat down on it.

Mrs. Zhang looked up at her face. Her skin was rosy and her mouth was curled up. She seemed to be in a good mood. She couldn't help but ask, "How was your date tonight? Did it go well?"

Zhang Shiqi's smile had not yet faded. After hearing her mother's words, she shyly hugged Mrs. Zhang's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder. "It went smoothly. I had a lot of fun."

Zhang Shiqi was very happy thinking about the successful date tonight. When she went to the date wearing her newly bought clothes, not only her boyfriend's attention was attracted by her, but some girls also asked her where she bought the clothes, which made her the center of attention.

It turns out that dressing up beautifully can bring a good mood to a date. I wonder what new clothes the owner of that clothing store will have next time I go there.

＊

In the morning, a new day began in Hong Kong. There had not been any big gossip recently, so many entertainment newspapers published last night's news on their headlines, such as the gossip about the tryst between Young Master Zhang and the beautiful actress Tian Tian.

Every entertainment newspaper devoted a large amount of space to reporting on this incident, and the news headlines were all kinds of eye-catching.

"Newly-promoted Jade Lady Tian Tian and Young Master Zhang Enjoy the Spring Breeze"

"Career and love blossom, the beautiful girl marries a handsome man"

"Young Master Zhang's new favorite, exciting things happen at the racecourse"

…

Some people even brought up the horse racing conflict between Zhang Ershao and Li Ershao. After all, gossip about the rich is something that Hong Kong citizens love to talk about.

For example, "Young Master Li is defeated, while Young Master Zhang is full of joy"

"Mr. Zhang beat up Mr. Li, scolding him and throwing him into the street"

"Two young men fight over a girl"

…

Almost everyone going to work in the morning is accustomed to buying a newspaper, so those taking the bus or walking read these gossips with great interest.

Occasionally, he would discuss with his friends, "Hey, why is my goddess Tian Tian and Zhang Ershao together?"

"Young Master Zhang and Young Master Li are really incompatible. I wonder if the relationship between the Jewelry King and the Shipping King is the same as their relationship with each other."

"No, Young Master Zhang's luck turned around and he actually won the horse race. There can't be any inside information."

Several female students who were going to school together were also holding a gossip newspaper and reading it. One of them said, "Why is Tian Tian with that idiot Zhang Ershao? I really liked her in a movie she acted in before."

"Yeah, I like Tian Tian too."

After reading the newspaper, the female students wanted to throw it into the trash can, but suddenly one of them stopped them and said, "Wait a minute, let me see what it says."

There was a photo in the corner of the newspaper, which showed a family of three wearing the same clothes. The main thing was that the three members of the family were all very good-looking. Even in the blurry newspaper photo, one could tell that they were good-looking.

The female student was attracted by the looks of these three people at first. She couldn't help but look at the photo carefully, and then read the news. After reading it, she chuckled, "This news is so funny. A beautiful girl bet on Zhang Ershao's horse race last night and won. The reporter asked her why she won, and she actually said it was because of what they wore. Haha, weird."

"What? Let me see." When the other female students heard this, they immediately became curious. It sounded like the words of a fortune teller, and they couldn't help but read the news.

Sometimes weird things are just more appealing.

"Haha, this beautiful lady also said something like 'Watch the horse racing, wear it and meet the God of Wealth'. Why does it sound like a command?"

"Not to mention, this family of three looks so pretty and handsome. Did you notice that the denim clothes they wear are also very special, unlike other denim clothes on the market now?" A student who noticed what Song Shu and the others were wearing couldn't help but speak up.

When the others heard this, they were like, "Don't mention it, this pretty girl is wearing a very stylish denim skirt. She looks really cool with this hat and boots."

"I like her skirt. Where can I buy it?"

"Let me see." A female student pointed to a place while holding a newspaper. "Haha, the pretty girl said it's at Tung Kok Street in Causeway Bay."

"There's actually an address." Another female student was surprised and couldn't help wondering, "This can't be a clothing ad."

Others shrugged, "I don't know, but this skirt is really beautiful."

Someone agreed, "I think it's pretty, too. It's very innovative and unique. Who cares if it's an ad? Let's go and have a look after school. Are you guys going?"

"Go, I'll go too. I really like this skirt."

"Add me to the mix, and don't throw away the newspapers yet."
