Central, Hong Kong.

The whole street seemed to be blocked by a blood clot. After the traffic flowed together, it could no longer be dispersed. After half an hour, it could not drive a few meters away.

In a taxi, Li Jiaming kept complaining to his mother, "I told you to come out early. It's already crowded here on weekends, so I'm definitely going to be late for rushing there now."

Mother Li raised her wrist and looked at her watch: "If you're late, be late. This is just a semi-final. It doesn't matter if you go or not."

"Why doesn't it matter? The semi-finals are also very important. With us cheering her on from the audience, the little girl will definitely be able to perform better. If the little girl becomes the beauty pageant champion, our whole family will be prosperous." Li Jiaming shouted.

Mother Li said: "It's useless to go. The auditorium is so dark and so far away from the stage that the little girl can't see us on the stage at all."

The taxi moved half a parking space ahead, and the driver yawned boredly, then turned his head and asked, "Anyone in your family joins Sister Dong?"

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

"So you are Li Jiaxin's sister, no wonder you are so pretty." 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, and can barely score 80 points, but the shelf life is too short, after another ten years, her face shape will grow and change, and a horse face owes 70 points.

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

As time passed, Li Jiaming became more and more irritable, and eventually the driver was too lazy to talk to her. Li's mother was not angry at all, she looked at the street scene leisurely, and occasionally chatted with the taxi driver.

Li's mother came to Hong Kong with her family only after the war. She was forced to marry a Portuguese ghost who was much older than her. Later, she settled in Macau and gave birth to two sisters, Li Jiaxin. At first, her married life was very happy. Although her husband was old, he was handsome and strong, and he was not bad to her. But it didn't last long. The Portuguese ghost soon had other women, and finally abandoned them and the three of them ran away. They didn't come back to formally divorce her until last year.

Mother Li raised her two daughters alone and lived in a shanty town. She has picked up rotten vegetables and eaten all kinds of hardships, so how can she take this trivial matter of traffic jams to heart.

When the mother and daughter came to the Taiping Theater, the semi-finals had already started for more than 40 minutes. The two of them were seated on the second floor of the auditorium, and they were too far away to see the faces on the stage.

The competition has entered the question and answer session. The questions raised by the judges are generally provided by the Dongjie Beauty Pageant Organizing Committee, and then the judges can choose and ask them at will. Of course, if the judges are interested, they can also ask individual additional questions to the contestants themselves.

10 judges lined up under the stage. Ni Zhen, who is sitting in the middle and right, is particularly eye-catching, because he is too young, plus the halo of his father Ni Kuang and aunt Yishu, he is handsome and handsome, and it is difficult to attract people.

Wait until Li Jiaxin finishes answering the question in a lawful manner. Ni Zhen suddenly picked up the microphone and said, "Miss Li, I want to ask one more question."

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

Ni Zhen smiled and said: "Before I came to be a judge, I read the detailed information of each young lady in the preparatory competition. Your grades in school seem to be very good. You often get 3 A's and 4 A's in the exam. There are only 300 or 400 exams. According to your academic performance, there is no problem in getting into a university. If you become a beauty pageant champion, will you continue to study?"

"Oh..." The question was asked, and there was a sudden roar from the audience. There are no more than two reasons for everyone's booing. 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 questions are too obvious, so many contestants in front of you don't ask questions. When it was Li Jiaxin's turn to ask extra questions, and he knew so much about other people's academic performance, all fools knew that he was interested in Li Jiaxin.

Li Jiaxin shook her head very decisively and said, "No, no matter how many places I get in the beauty pageant, I will not continue to go to university."

"Why?" Another judge jumped ahead of Ni Kuang. He asked curiously, "If you are eliminated tonight, won't you go to college? It's a pity for you."

Li Jiaxin is very shrewd and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to promote herself. She covered the smile on her face and said sadly: "Because I grew up in a single-parent family, my father abandoned me and my mother when I was a few years old. , sister. I remember when I was very young, I moved from an apartment to a tin house. In summer, the sun shines on the tin, and the whole house is like a steamer; I got it. The saddest thing is encountering a typhoon, and I couldn’t sleep at all in the middle of the night. The three of us, mother and daughter, had to guard the basin to catch the rain all night, and the roof might be blown away at any time by the wind. This kind of hard life taught me to be strong, I know it's not easy for my mother, if I choose to go to college, my mother will have to work hard for a few more years. So I don't want to make her work anymore, I've grown up and can find a job to earn money to support my family."

"Clap clap clap..." Ni Zhen took the lead and clapped his hands vigorously, he just wanted to arouse Li Jiaxin's attention and goodwill by asking a special question, but he couldn't help but praise Li Jiaxin's words loudly, "That's right. Well, what a filial girl!"

Both the audience and the judges were moved by Li Jiaxin's remarks. In the seat, Li mother suddenly had the urge to cry after listening to her little daughter's words.

Li Jiaxin originally said those words on purpose to arouse the audience's sympathy, but as she spoke, she remembered the hardships she had suffered from childhood to adulthood. Seeing her classmates have toys and new clothes, she could only be envious. All kinds of grievances made her fake it. , While talking, he actually started to cry.

"It turns out that Miss Li has this kind of experience, which is really embarrassing." Female emcee Lin Jianming walked over to Li Jiaxin and patted her on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Lin Jianming is an old man of the Lishi era. He is famous for participating in Miss Beach held by Lishi more than ten years ago. His qualifications in the TV station are very old, so he is called "big sister Ming" by many people. However, Lin Jianming once switched jobs to TVB, and returned to Phoenix TV when she didn't get along well. Otherwise, she would host the finals with her old qualifications, instead of hosting the semi-finals with Chen Baixiang.

Chen Baixiang also walked over to Li Jiaxin and said with a smile, "All difficulties will pass. Look at how many people applauded for you at the scene."

After Li Jiaxin learned that it was Chen Baixiang and Lin Jianming who presided over the semi-finals, she inquired about them. I also know that Chen Baixiang once went bankrupt at a time, and after turning over, he lost money in the stock market crash last year. She wiped away her tears, squeezed out a reluctant smile and said, "Actually, my experience is nothing compared to Brother Lei. You are my idol."

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

Chen Baixiang made a smug smug look: "No way, a handsome man is always liked by many girls."

"You are handsome? The real handsome guy seems to be below." Lin Jianming said and pointed in Ni Zhen's direction.

"Okay, we have the next contestant..." Chen Baixiang deliberately did not look at Ni Zhen, and his funny way of changing the subject made the audience laugh.

It has to be said that Ni Zhen's selfish questions and Li Jiaxin's witty telling of her tragic experience made her the most dazzling star tonight.

As soon as the semi-finals ended, Ni Zhen used his status as a judge. Holding a bunch of flowers, he came to the backstage and said to Li Jiaxin, "Miss Li, congratulations on your advance to the final."

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

Ni Zhen took the opportunity and said, "Miss Li is free tomorrow. Let's have dinner together."

"Sorry, I won't be free tomorrow," Li Jiaxin had a very good impression of Ni Zhen and couldn't bear to reject him, and added, "Why don't you change it another day."

When Ni Zhen, the lover, heard the show, he immediately took out a business card with a smile on his face. Said: "This is my business card, you can call me if you have anything."

When Li Jiaxin took the business card, Ni Zhen asked her for her phone number again.

In another time and space, Li Jiaxin played like a duck in water in the clearing field, playing all kinds of men with applause. But now she lacks experience, because Li Jiaxin has not been in love yet. Ni Zhen was her first love. Later, after marrying into a wealthy family, Li Jiaxin's student ID and other personal items were left with Ni Zhen and never returned. Later, Ni Zhen threatened to disclose these things. It attracted Li Jiaxin with a scolding from the air.

If Li Jiaxin is experienced, he will disgust Ni Zhen, and if he refuses, he will make Ni Zhen's heart tickled. But she obviously didn't have that skill. When Ni Zhen asked for the phone number, Li Jiaxin didn't think much and wrote the home phone number to Ni Zhen.

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

"No, my mother and sister are still waiting for me outside." Li Jiaxin politely declined.

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

At Ni Zhen's insistence, Li Jiaxin had to agree.

The two went out to meet Li Mu and Li Jiaming. Before they could introduce each other, Liming suddenly came over with a gift box: "Miss Li, congratulations."

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

The drama of two men chasing one woman, UU reading www.uukanshu.com made Ni Zhen's wish to send the beauties 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 urged his sister to open Liming's gift.

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

Li Jiaming said disdainfully, "Che, I thought it was some kind of watch or necklace, but I actually sent 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 according to the right medicine.

Sister Li Jiaming was still beside him and said, "Little sister, I think that Mr. Ni is good. His old bean has money, he has a decent job, and he is so handsome. It's perfect."

Li Jiaxin also felt that Ni Zhen was better, but suddenly heard their mother 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, and each stuck out their tongues and dared not speak. ()
