Chapter 203 Encouraging her to dance
Kong Mengjiao thought to herself that although she could no longer count on Murong Ting, her looks and appearance were still among the best in Jiangcheng's social circles.
More importantly, she has studied dance since childhood, and her dancing skills, if not divine, can easily bewitch men.
She's going to snag a rich new husband at the ball, and then she'll never have to worry about food or clothing again!
She looked confident: "Don't worry, Mom, Mr. Wang from Zhihe Group is here today too. He's always been interested in me. After I perform this carefully prepared dance, I'll definitely win him over today!"
Zhou Liru nodded with satisfaction and said, "The power of Zhihe Group has been catching up with the Li family in recent years. If you can take down Wang Zhihe, our Kong family will be able to return to the upper class in no time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, music started playing.
Listening to the upbeat music, Kong Mengjiao smiled confidently and said, "Just wait and see."
She is determined to take down Wang Zhihe today and crush Kong Wange under her feet!
She wanted to let these women know who they should really be supporting!
Kong Wange was chatting with a few people when she heard music start playing.
She paused slightly, and seeing everyone gliding toward the dance floor, she couldn't help but say with a hint of sarcasm, "The Kong family's auction has quite a few tricks up its sleeve."
Li Caidie scoffed from the side, "Isn't it because they got a treasure and don't know how to show it off? If you ask me, their intention to sell the treasure is only one aspect; the more important thing is that they want to use this incident to find a good son-in-law for Kong Mengjiao!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
“Absolutely,” Li Caidie said mysteriously to Kong Wange, “I heard that the young master Wang from Zhihe Group is also here this time. He seems to have a thing for Kong Mengjiao. Just you wait and see, Kong Mengjiao might show off a lot during this opportunity.”
As soon as she finished speaking, just as if to cooperate with Li Caidie, Kong Mengjiao actually went over and picked up the microphone.
She changed into a pearl-white dress, wore a matching hair clip, and the veil on her face added a touch of mystery to her look.
She looked at everyone, her voice sweet with a hint of shyness, and said, "Everyone, welcome to our Kong family's auction. To express my gratitude, I have prepared a dance for you all. I hope you enjoy it."
As soon as she finished speaking, applause broke out from the crowd.
Kong Mengjiao deliberately gave a half-hearted look in one direction of the crowd before sliding onto the dance floor.
Upon seeing this, Li Caidie made a "vomiting" face: "So blatantly flirting with men, how shameless."
Kong Wange glanced at Wang Zhihe, who was staring at Kong Mengjiao with a fascination on the side of the dance floor, and clicked her tongue twice.
Although the methods were despicable, it seems that young Master Wang was quite pleased with them.
Kong Mengjiao has been learning ballet since she was a child, and when she actually dances, she looks quite impressive.
She had already prepared the piece; it was "Carmen."
She removed the supporting elements and focused primarily on showcasing her individual dance moves.
In the center of the dance floor, she moved lightly and nimbly, even performing a few difficult moves, which immediately drew cheers from the surrounding crowd.
Young Master Wang, standing to the side, was completely mesmerized.
As Kong Mengjiao danced, she felt Wang Zhihe's fiery gaze, and feeling proud, she returned several passionate glances in return.
After a while, the two of them were practically flirting in public.
Kong Wange couldn't help but sigh, "Kong Mengjiao is really willing to go all out."
If I remember correctly, that young master Wang was a complete womanizer, with at least eighty or a hundred women outside. He looked like a lecherous, weak-willed man.
Even with that kind of personality, she's still willing to go for it; she really isn't picky.
Just then, Kong Wanmeng finished her dance, her face flushed, a thin layer of sweat on her nose, and bowed to everyone.
A cheer immediately erupted from the crowd.
Hearing the flood of praise, she was overjoyed.
Zhou Liru and Kong Zhizhao stood aside, very satisfied with their daughter's performance.
She pulled Kong Zhizhao aside and said, "Old Kong, do you see how much our daughter brings us honor?"
Kong Zhizhao nodded and said to everyone with feigned humility, "Gentlemen, my daughter is not very talented, please forgive her."
Someone in the crowd shouted, "Mr. Kong is too modest. Mengjiao danced beautifully. Let her do another one!"
"Yes, one more!"
Young Master Wang even declared in front of everyone, "Jiaojiao, give me something even spicier!"
Kong Mengjiao said shyly, "Young Master Wang, you're so naughty!"
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
Kong Wange felt a sudden shiver run down her spine.
Seeing this, Zhou Liru excitedly pulled Kong Zhizhao aside and said, "Old Kong, I feel like there's something going on between Young Master Wang and our Jiaojiao."
Kong Zhizhao drank two glasses of wine and was now full of confidence: "Jiaojiao is not bad. When the jade is auctioned off at a good price today, I will reward her well."
"Is this only a reward for your daughter?"
"Haha, of course I have to reward my good wife properly." Kong Zhizhao whispered something in her ear.
Zhou Liru blushed instantly, looking shy: "You old lewd man."
She lightly punched Kong Zhizhao, but she was secretly overjoyed.
It seems she made the right decision to get the jade back!
The crowd was still waiting for Kong Mengjiao to dance.
Kong Mengjiao stood in the center of the dance floor, looked around, and finally fixed her gaze on Kong Wange, her eyes filled with a hint of provocation: "Everyone, it's not very interesting to just watch me dance alone. How about this, my sister is here today, and her dancing skills are no less than mine. How about I have my sister perform a dance?"
Everyone was taken aback, and then they all looked at Kong Wange.
Zhou Liru and Kong Zhizhao were also taken aback.
Kong Zhizhao frowned and said, "What is Jiaojiao doing? Kong Wange is back from the countryside. What kind of dance can she do? Isn't she just embarrassing our Kong family?"
Zhou Liru quickly reassured him: "Don't worry, Jiaojiao was just saying that. Kong Wange doesn't know anything, she definitely wouldn't have the guts to go on stage."
As she spoke, she turned her head and winked at Kong Mengjiao, signaling her to stop.
But Kong Mengjiao was only focused on trampling Kong Wange underfoot and embarrassing her on stage, completely ignoring Zhou Liru's warning and looking at Kong Wange with an arrogant expression.
Kong Wange really didn't expect Kong Mengjiao to call on her in public. She raised her eyes and asked, "You want me to dance?"
"Yes, sister, since I've already made a fool of myself, why don't you do one too? Although you grew up in the countryside, you've been married into the Murong family for so many years, you can't be completely unlearned and not even know how to dance, right?"
Feeling the gazes focused on her, Kong Wange curled her lips into a smile: "You think you're worthy to dance with me?"
Kong Mengjiao arrogantly raised her chin: "Whether you're worthy or not, please show everyone some real skills first, instead of just being good with words."
What kind of dance could Kong Wange, a country bumpkin who grew up in the countryside, possibly know?
Even if she could actually wiggle a few times, her dancing skills couldn't possibly be better than hers.
