Central, Hong Kong.

The whole street seemed to be blocked by a blood clot, and the traffic could not disperse after it merged, and it could not be driven a few meters after half an hour.

In a taxi, Li Jiaming kept complaining to his mother: "I told you to come out early, but it was already jammed here on the weekend, and it will definitely be late to rush over now." ”

Mother Li raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "If you're late, be late, it's just the semi-finals, it doesn't matter if you go or not." ”

"Why doesn't it matter? The semi-finals are also very crucial, with us cheering her on off the stage, Xiaomei will definitely be able to play better. If my little sister becomes a beauty pageant champion, our whole family will be developed. Li Jiaming shouted.

Mother Li said: "It's useless to go, the audience is so dark and so far away from the stage, my little sister can't see us on stage at all." ”

The taxi moved half a space ahead of the car, and the driver yawned boredly, turned his head and asked, "Some of your family members also participate in Sister Dong?" ”

Li Jiaming said ostentatiously: "Yes, No. 8 Li Jiaxin is my sister." ”

"It turns out that you are Li Jiaxin's sister, no wonder you are so beautiful." The driver said with a smile.

Among the three mothers and daughters of the Li family, Li Jiaming's appearance is the most mediocre. Now she is 20 years old and young, barely able to score 80 points, but the shelf life is too short, and her face will change in another ten years, and a horse face is 70 points owed.

On the contrary, Li Jiaxin's mother, who is still charming in her early 40s, was invited by Shaw Brothers scouts to make movies when she was young, but she refused to take care of the family.

As time passed, Li Jiaming's mood became more and more irritable. Later, the driver didn't bother to pay attention to chatting with her. Mother Li didn't have any anger at all, she looked at the street scene gracefully, and occasionally chatted with the taxi driver.

Lee's mother came to Hong Kong with her family after the war. was forced to marry a Portuguese ghost who was much older than her, and later settled in Macau to give birth to Li Jiaxin sisters. At first, her married life was very happy, although her husband was old, he was handsome and strong, and he treated her well. But the good times didn't last long, and the Portuguese ghost soon had other women, and finally abandoned their mother and daughter and ran away, and didn't come back to officially divorce her until last year.

Li's mother raised her two daughters alone. I have lived in shantytowns, picked up rotten vegetable leaves, and suffered everything. How could she take this little thing of traffic jam to heart.

When the mother and daughter arrived at the Taiping Theater, the semi-finals had already begun for more than 40 minutes. The seats of the two were on the second floor of the auditorium, and the distance was too far to see the faces of the people on the stage.

The competition has entered the question and answer session, and the questions asked by the judges. It is generally provided by the Dongjie Beauty Pageant Organizing Committee. It is then arbitrarily chosen by the judges. Of course, if the judges are interested, they can also ask individual additional questions to the participating beauties.

The 10 judges lined up under the stage, and Ni Zhen, who sat on the right side of the middle, was particularly eye-catching, because he was too young, coupled with the aura of his father Ni Kuang and aunt Yishu, he himself was handsome and handsome, and it was difficult to attract people.

Wait until Li Jiaxin finishes answering the question in a decent manner. Ni Zhen suddenly picked up the microphone and said, "Miss Li, I still want to ask another question." ”

Li Jiaxin was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and said, "Mr. Ni, please speak." ”

Ni Zhen smiled: "Before I came to be a judge, I looked at the details of each lady in the preparation competition. Your grades in school seem to be very good, and you often get 3 A's or 4 A's in exams, and your results are only 3 or 400 in the Hong Kong HKCEE every year. In terms of your academic performance, there is no problem in getting into college, if you become a beauty pageant champion, will you continue to study? ”

"Oh......" The question was asked, and the audience suddenly erupted in a commotion. There are two reasons why everyone is coaxing, one is that they are surprised that a beauty like Li Jiaxin got 4 A's in the exam, and the other is that Ni Zhen's question is too obvious, you don't ask questions about so many players in front of you, but when it is Li Jiaxin's turn, you ask extra questions, and he also knows so much about other people's academic performance, and fools know that he is interesting to Li Jiaxin.

Li Jiaxin shook her head very resolutely and said: "No, no matter how many places I get in the beauty pageant, I will not continue to take the university entrance examination." ”

"Why?" Another judge preempted Ni Kuang and asked curiously, "In case you are eliminated tonight, won't you go to the university entrance examination?" It's a shame for you. ”

Li Jiaxin was very shrewd, and instantly realized that this was a good opportunity to sell herself, the smile on her face was hidden, and she said gloomily: "Because I grew up in a single-parent family, my father abandoned me, my mother, and my sister when I was a few years old. I remember when I was very young, I moved from my apartment suite to a tin house, and the sun shone on the tin sheet in summer, and the whole house was like a steamer; In winter, the cold wind pours into the house through the cracks, and you have to shrink your whole body into the quilt to sleep. The saddest thing is that we can't sleep in the middle of the night when we encounter a typhoon, and our mother and daughter have to guard the basin all night to catch the rainwater, and the roof may be blown away by the wind at any time. This kind of difficult life has taught me to be strong, I know that it is not easy for my mother, and if I choose to go to university, my mother will have to work hard for a few more years. So I don't want her to work anymore, I'm old enough to get a job and earn money to support my family. ”

"Papa......" Ni Zhen took the lead and clapped his hands vigorously, he just figured out that Guò asked a special question to attract Li Jiaxin's attention and favor, who would have thought that Li Jiaxin's words would be brought out, and couldn't help but praise loudly, "Well said, what a filial girl!" ”

The audience and the judges were moved by Li Jiaxin's words, and in the seats, Li's mother listened to her little daughter's words and suddenly had the urge to cry.

Li Jiaxin originally deliberately said those words to arouse the audience's sympathy, but as she spoke, she remembered the suffering she had suffered since she was a child, and she could only envy her when she saw her classmates playing with new clothes.

"It turns out that Miss Li still has this kind of experience, which is really embarrassing." The female emcee, Lin Jianming, walked up to Li Jiaxin and patted her on the shoulder to show comfort.

Lin Jianming is an old man in the era of Lishi, famous for participating in Miss Beach held by Lishi more than ten years ago, and his qualifications in the TV station are very old. Therefore, it is called "eldest sister Ming" by many people. However, Lin Jianming once jumped ship and went to TVB, and returned to Phoenix Channel only if she didn't mix well, otherwise she would have hosted the finals with her old qualifications. Instead of presiding over the semi-finals with Chen Baixiang.

Chen Baixiang also walked to Li Jiaxin's side and said with a smile: "Any difficulties will pass, look at how many people applaud you at the scene." ”

After Li Jiaxin learned that Chen Baixiang and Lin Jianming were presiding over the semi-finals, she inquired about them, and also knew that Chen Baixiang was once bankrupt with a net worth of tens of millions, and after turning over, he lost a lot of money in the stock market crash last year. She wiped away her tears, squeezed out a forced smile and said, "Actually, what happened to me is compared to Brother Lak. It's really nothing, you're my idol. ”

Lin Jianming teased: "Lak, you actually have a big beauty admirer." ”

Chen Baixiang made a smug look of stinky fart: "No way." is handsome, and there are always a lot of girls who like it. ”

"You're handsome? The real pretty boy seems to be down there. Lin Jianming said and pointed in the direction of Ni Zhen.

"Okay, let's invite the next contestant ......" Chen Baixiang deliberately didn't look at Ni Zhen, and the funny look of changing the topic made the audience laugh.

I have to say. Ni Zhen asked selfishly. and Li Jiaxin's witty recounting of the tragic experience, making her the brightest star tonight.

As soon as the semi-finals ended, Ni Zhen used his identity as a judge to come backstage with a bouquet of flowers and said to Li Jiaxin: "Miss Li, congratulations on advancing to the finals." ”

There were at least one or two hundred flowers in that bouquet, and Li Jiaxin happily took it and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

Ni Zhen took the opportunity to say, "Miss Li is free tomorrow." Let's have dinner together. ”

"Sorry, not available tomorrow." Li Jiaxin had a super good impression of Ni Zhen, and couldn't bear to refuse him, so she added, "Why don't you change the day." ”

When Ni Zhen, the saint of the love scene, heard that there was a play, he immediately took out a business card with a smile on his face, and said, "This is my business card, you can call me if you have anything." ”

Waiting for Li Jiaxin to take the business card, Ni Zhen asked her for her phone number.

In another time and space, Li Jiaxin mixed like a fish in water in the clearance, playing with all kinds of men between applause. But now she is inexperienced, because Li Jiaxin has not been in love, Ni Zhen is her first love, and later after marrying into a wealthy family, Li Jiaxin's student ID card and other personal belongings were still placed with Ni Zhen and not taken back, and later Ni Zhen also threatened to disclose these things, which attracted Li Jiaxin to scold her in the air.

If Li Jiaxin is experienced, he will hang Ni Zhen's appetite, and he will make Ni Zhen itch if he wants to refuse and welcome. But she obviously didn't have that skill, and when Ni Zhen asked for a phone number, Li Jiaxin didn't think much about it and wrote the homeline phone number to Ni Zhen.

Ni Zhen didn't leave after getting the phone number, and waited until Li Jiaxin took off her makeup and changed her clothes before she came out and said, "Miss Li, I'll send you back." ”

"No need, my mom and sister are still waiting for me outside." Li Jiaxin politely refused.

Ni Zhen said familiarly: "That's good, it's not good to take a taxi now, I'll take my aunt and eldest sister back together." ”

At Ni Zhen's insistence, Li Jiaxin had no choice but to agree.

The two walked out and bumped into Mother Li and Li Jiaming, and before they could introduce each other, Liming suddenly came over with a gift box: "Miss Li, congratulations." ”

"Thank you!" Li Jiaxin politely accepted the gift, and Ni Zhen and Liming bumped into each other to make her a little embarrassed, although these two men still had nothing to do with her.

The scene of two men chasing a woman made Ni Zhen's wish to send the beauty home in vain, and Li Jiaxin's mother and daughter finally took a taxi back.

"Take it apart and see what it is?" As soon as he got into the taxi, Li Jiaming instigated his sister to open Liming's gift.

Li Jiaxin was also very curious, and was immediately disappointed when she opened it.

Li Jiaming said disdainfully: "Cut, I thought it was a watch or necklace, and I actually gave a box of chocolates." ”

Compared with Ni Gongzi, Li Tianwang's method of picking up girls really owes a lot of heat, and he doesn't even understand how to give gifts in the right way.

Sister Li Jiaming was still next to her and said, "Little sister, I think that Ni Gongzi is good." He has money, his job is also decent, and he is so beautiful, it's perfect. ”

Li Jiaxin also felt that Ni Zhen was better, but suddenly heard their mother open her mouth and say: "Men are unreliable, you have to be careful all the time, women still have to rely on themselves in the end." ”

The two sisters looked at each other, each sticking out their tongues and not daring to speak again. (To be continued......)
