Rebirth of the ugly girl

Chapter 178
After finishing what he was doing, Hongxi went to the window and lit a cigarette.

His addiction to smoking has grown over the years. Whenever there is something worrying or something to think about, he will light a cigarette. Sometimes he smokes, and sometimes he lets it burn out slowly. He is anesthetized by the smell of nicotine, just like taking drugs, and he can’t quit. .

Downstairs, Shen Ting went to the garden at some point, standing in front of a rose, discussing what to write with Mrs. Wang who was pruning the branches and leaves next to her.

Hong Xi squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Ting downstairs through the haze of smoke. For a moment, he caught something in his mind, but it quickly disappeared.

Why did he remember everyone but Shen Ting?And are they really just friends?

Always sitting in the room and reading is boring, Shen Ting went downstairs and looked around, and saw an old lady playing with the rose in front of her with scissors.

The color of the rose petals was dull, and Shen Ting remembered that she had seen this flower before, and asked the aunt who repaired the flower: "Auntie, is this flower called Louis XIV?"

Mrs. Wang raised her head, saw that it was her, and laughed, "Miss has good eyesight. This flower has a nice name and is very delicate. It must be trimmed regularly."

Louis XIV symbolizes nobility and authority. Shen Ting remembered that a few years ago, she and Hong Xi passed by his former home, which was also a villa, bigger than this one. At that time, she knew that his identity was not simple.

Originally thought that he had had a hard time these years, but only after looking at this house did he understand the difference between people.

It seems that among the people she captured, there seemed to be no family in distress, and everyone was blessed, either from the second generation or the third generation.

Now that I think about it, Venus 001 should have thought about it. Knowing that she has strong self-esteem and is realistic, she is afraid that she will easily develop feelings for the target character during the strategy process, so the characters she chooses are all so good, let her face it with a humble posture. Dare to climb high.

Sister-in-law Wang didn't intend to raise her head, and saw her young master standing on the window sill looking down. The person looking at it was Miss Shen beside her, and she couldn't help but jokingly touched Shen Ting: "Miss, our young master is looking at you."

Shen Ting came back to her senses, looked left and right, and Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "Look up."

Shen Ting raised his head, just in time to meet Hong Xi's eyes, just for a moment, something flashed in Hong Xi's mind again, this time he caught a little bit.

That scene was just for a moment. He saw a girl with a very ordinary appearance. It can be said that she was a bit ugly. Her expression was calm, and those eyes were the only attractive place. Inclusiveness is not like the pair of eyes that a young person should have.

The eyes in the memory matched the eyes in reality, the smoke went out, Hong Xi saw Shen Ting's face clearly, and shook his head, the two were not alone at all, he was thinking about something.

The moment Shen Ting met Hong Xi, she suddenly remembered that her first mission seemed to have not been completed yet.

When Hongxi was dying and passed away, Venus 001 archived the clearing task and said that she triggered the secondary task within the clearing time.

Now that Hongxi is back, why hasn't Venus 001 moved?

[The time has not come, the host does not need to worry. 】

What is the side mission?Shen Ting looked at the empty window and slowly looked away.

[Currently kept secret. 】

so mysterious?Shen Ting couldn't help wondering, could it be that she couldn't do this sub-task now?
[The current task of the host is to attack the existing target characters. 】Venus 001 gave a brief answer.

This meant to let her stop making useless questions, so Shen Ting stopped asking.

After lunch at noon, Hongxi took her around the villas. There was actually nothing interesting in the villas, but there were more novel flowers and plants.

Hong Xi still wanted to ask Shen Ting about their past affairs, but unfortunately Shen Ting kept his mouth shut and kept his mouth shut. He didn't get any useful information for most of the day, and was instead asked by Shen Ting about how he lived abroad all these years Do something.

Hongxi didn't want Shen Ting to know about those bloody storms, and the two fought like a guerrilla war. Until the evening, Hongxi received a call.

The call was from Gong Chu, which meant that her former friend held a small party for her return to China, and asked Hong Xi to come and have fun.

Does Hongxi want Shen Ting to go with her? Shen Ting doesn't like this kind of occasion, she would rather watch TV at home than go out, so she refuses, Hongxi doesn't force her, and drives to the place Gong Chu said by herself.

Lu Yihe hated going to parties because he never bothered to deal with strangers who were worthless to him, but the party owner was Gong Chu, and for the sake of the old man, he went anyway.

Gong Chu's friends are all the rich and powerful in the wealthy circle. In this kind of circle, there are generally few close friends, and there are more comparisons with each other.

The content of the comparison is nothing more than brand-name clothes and bags. The more limited the words on the front, the more envious eyes they will get. Apart from these, they are their own men.

When Gong Chu didn't go abroad, as the only young lady of the Gong family, she was super eye-catching.

Although almost everyone in the circle knew that she was an illegitimate daughter, to be recognized by the old lady Gong showed that Gong Chu was definitely not simple.

At that time, Gong Chu was the top figure in the circle, but after going abroad, many people rose up in the circle, some of these people knew Gong Chu, some had only heard of her name, and had never met the real person.

I heard that Gong Chu came back recently, under the guise of friends who haven't seen him for many years, a group of people got together with the intention of comparing each other.

Famous cars, fancy clothes, fashionable looks, and tall, rich and handsome boyfriends, a group of women are holding goblets and pushing glasses to change. They are harmonious on the surface, but in twos and twos behind their backs, whispering about the bag that someone just met just now It's still last year's model, and the shape is too earthy.

Lu Yihe and Hongxi haven't come for a long time, Gong Chu's smile is almost unbearable, today they are called to support the scene, if they don't come, she will lose all face, probably in the circle in the future I can't lift my head anymore.

"Gong Chu, why hasn't your super-handsome boyfriend come here yet? Could it be that he let you go?" A tall girl with a red wine glass walked by, wearing exquisite makeup, and holding a handsome girl on her wrist. A handsome man with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

She is a newly-emerged character in the circle after Gong Chu has not been around. Although the family behind her is incomparable with the Gong family, she is very capable of attracting people's attention. She is an all-round character.

"He has to deal with company affairs, so he probably won't be able to leave. I'll call again to remind him." Gong Chu smiled impeccably at her, looked with satisfaction at the man behind the woman with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and made a veiled gesture to him. Provocative gestures.

Hongxi and Lu Yihe happened to meet at the entrance of the hotel. They were taken aback when they saw each other, but they quickly nodded and entered the elevator together.
