The Return of the Reborn King

Chapter 418 Illegitimate Daughter

Yunxi never expected that Cris on the other side of the ocean would know a 16-year-old model from Hong Kong.As for the cruelty of the modeling industry, although she only took a few cover photos, she still feels it deeply.The general first-line supermodel not only needs to have a unique and well-proportioned figure, but the most important thing is to have personality.Among all living beings, the characteristics that can make people unforgettable at a glance are the basis for the survival of those models.Otherwise, in a country like Europe and the United States that specializes in producing sexy beauties with deep facial features, why are there only a few familiar faces as supermodels?They are not necessarily the most beautiful, but they are definitely the most suitable for the development of the industry.

She has only met Christina once, and apart from her enchanting nature, she has almost no features.In the modeling circle, 16 years old is not considered young, and most of the supermodels with real potential have been discovered before the age of 15.But according to the current situation, Christina is at best well-known in Hong Kong, a tiny place.And as an international first-line designer, CRIS would know her?

Seeing the surprise in Yunxi's eyes, Cris pondered for a long time, as if he was considering how to express it. "I've seen her twice before, both at salon gatherings. At that time, she was a little younger, probably only thirteen or fourteen years old." Because she is of mixed race, her facial features are different from those of ordinary Chinese people. Among the black-haired women For a while, Cris gave her a special look.To be honest, at that time, she had no plan to enter the Chinese market at all. Someone invited her to a salon.Some people like her brand to cling to, and there are those who like to show off their wealth and show off how much haute couture they have in their closet. But this little girl is dressed very decently, but she always only stands at the corner, shyly dare not speak.

She was still a little girl at that time, she was young and introverted, so she was about to go up to talk to her, but she was stopped by a noble lady, who looked at the little girl with disgust, and whispered to her: "You better not go Oh, that little girl is very duplicitous, she likes acting the most, and people are often tricked by her."

When she first came to China at that time, she didn't know what "two-faced and three-knife" meant at all. She just felt that it was pitiful for such a young girl to be rejected by others.But it has nothing to do with her, so she doesn't care too much.It was just that when I saw her for the second time later, Christina was pestering a boy for a necklace. "I know that rings can't be given casually, but necklaces are fine. You see, the one I saw in the mall the other day was so beautiful, but you are stingy, and you turned around and left when you saw the price, which caused me to die of embarrassment in front of the salesperson " After finishing speaking, he covered his face with his hands, and even the roots of his ears were red.

Before the boy could speak, a stylishly dressed woman slapped him with a slap on the ear: "I thought you were a good-for-nothing. Sure enough, a bastard is a bastard, and you don't even have any tutoring. My boyfriend buys things for me. What kind of green onion are you, you came here to pretend to be cute! If you want something, you won’t ask your mother for money? Oh, by the way, I forgot, you don’t even know who your mother is.”

At that time, she realized that this pitiful looking girl was completely an acting school. After being slapped in the face like this in public, her eyes were red, and she looked at the pair of men and women pitifully and sadly, as if everyone in the world She was bullying her alone, and some people around her who couldn't understand Chinese, immediately went to rescue her.

"You said she was an illegitimate daughter?" Yunxi felt even more strange. It is not uncommon to have such a person in the CRIS circle. It is possible that someone who entered the salon was known by so many people. Her father should not be ordinary. people.Otherwise, who would inquire about her family situation, not to mention, even outsiders would know her temperament quite well.You know, some people think that you are not up to her level, and even look at you with disdain.But here's the weird thing too.If the father's status is extraordinary, why doesn't he come forward to help when his daughter is thrown in public like this?So that others spread her rumors everywhere?

"Well, I haven't heard about whose daughter it is. Anyway, her reputation has not been very good. I heard that she disappeared in the social circle after the age of 15, but I didn't expect that she would go to Hong Kong to be a model now. In Europe and the United States, the exposure of models is no less than that of big-name stars, but in China, it is not considered a top industry. Although she is an illegitimate daughter, the financial aspect should not be a problem at all. How could she want to Be a brand ambassador?
"From what you've said, she should be quite ambitious." Yunxi flipped through her photo albums on the computer, and said goodnight to Cris: "I'll think about her endorsement again. Everything is based on your brand image, rest assured."

CRIS also thinks this way. In terms of appearance, Christina is not a problem, but people have no front and back eyes.If any scandal happened to her in the future, it would affect the brand she had worked so hard to build for so many years. From a practical point of view, she still hoped that Yunxi would continue to be the spokesperson.Although she signed a spokesperson contract with Yunxi at the beginning, but now she only proposes to let Christina be a model in Hong Kong, and she can't directly refuse.As for Christina, she didn't know much about her, and she didn't like her on the whole.

While the two were discussing the issue of CHRISTINA's endorsement in private, they didn't expect that the subject of the topic was nestling in a cubicle at the moment, unable to move.

The room is a typical hotel presidential suite, and the living room outside is so huge that it is doubtful that every word will echo.Currently, the two most important men in CHRISTINA's life are discussing a person there, but unfortunately, that person is not herself.

"So, Leng Yunxi agreed to cooperate with you?" An old man with white hair sat across from Mr. Zhang.Compared with Mr. Zhang's pale and wrinkle-free face, his face is almost full of signs of aging, but there is no kindness at all in his whole body. The breath alone is completely suffocating, and there is a faint feeling The calmness and indifference that have been honed over time.

"I have already agreed." Mr. Zhang glanced at him, and looked at the cubicle with interest, as if he felt that this scene was a bit like a cold joke. A father and daughter were in the same room, but they avoided seeing each other.

"That's good, I'm still wondering if the medicine was not applied hard enough a few days ago," the silver-haired old man seemed to have missed Mr. Zhang's faintly sneering eyes, with a cold expression on his face, "In your opinion, is it really possible for this little girl from the Leng family to inherit the key from her grandfather?"

Regardless of whether it was the old man who spoke or Mr. Zhang, they were actually about the same age as Leng Yunxi's grandfather Leng Zhuangran, so both of them were much clearer than the others in terms of the old things back then.

Leng Zhuang is a position that has been promoted all the way through military service. In the heyday, almost everyone in BJ City avoided his position.Although he has climbed high, he has worked hard with real swords and guns. No one dares to criticize him, but there are two other things that make him most enviable.One is his three sons, each of them has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and handles things properly. Compared with the dissolute behavior of most officials' children in the entire BJ City, they can be called extremely rare excellence.The second is his wife.At the time when the situation was still turbulent in the early years, she was really a beauty that could overwhelm the country and the city. Almost all the people in Shanghai who saw her were completely fascinated. Several politicians almost drew their guns to snatch her because of her. .But such a young lady followed Leng Zhuangran, a martial artist who had just become the head of the regiment at that time, and when he was at his most desolate, he had been doing his best to raise the child to grow up, and it became a good story for a while.It's a pity that due to overwork, she passed away 20 years ago, leaving behind the legend of a beautiful woman who passed away.The strange thing is that after the death of this lady, Leng Zhuangran's official career became prosperous instead. It turned out that the power only developed within the army all of a sudden, until now.There are many factors in this, but what caught the two of them the most was a key left to him by Mrs. Leng Zhuang.Back then, they had frequent contacts with Leng Zhuangran, and they always remembered that he carried this key close to him. He never revealed what the key was used for.Everyone is curious, especially those who have been immersed in the power and vanity fair for many years, they are especially careful.It's just that he has been hiding it too well, so there is no room for him to attack.

But since Leng Yunxi returned to China, news spread that she and Zhan Wenlan had decided to get engaged.Among the juniors of the Leng family, Leng Zhuangran looked particularly favorably at Leng Yunxi. Her cousin had always been a playful young master, and the marriage was about to be arranged, and the only one who could inherit the key was Leng Yunxi.

"We've done everything we need to do now, and it's up to God to decide." Although Mr. Zhang coveted the key, he didn't have more thoughts on it.After a few perfunctory words to the person opposite, he got up to see off the guests.

During this period, the old man didn't even look at the cubicle, as if he didn't even know that there was a person there.

The bodyguard opened the door and politely led the way for Mr. Zhang's "guest". He looked back at CHRISTINA who came out of the cubicle, looking like a doormat, and couldn't help pinching her tender little face: "What are you pretending to be, man?" They're all gone, why do you still do this with me?" When I first met this little girl, I still wondered if I was dazzled. How could the "illegitimate daughter" known by many people come to Hong Kong to become a child? model.As her father, even if she didn't recognize her ancestors, it was impossible to shorten her expenses.

"Hey," Christina sneered, and the pitiful expression on her face really disappeared: "You can see that, he doesn't even look at me. He doesn't care how much humiliation I have suffered over the years, I There is nothing to be afraid of. If you have the ability, don't give birth to me back then!"

"You are so capable, why did you want to hide just now, and it's refreshing to say it in front of him."

Sure enough, the strutting and valiant heroine immediately turned into a bear, shaking her shoulders, and visibly trembling all over, obviously because she was afraid of her father's death.

However, even he has to say that in the past few years, this old friend has become more and more gloomy and cold. Perhaps, that incident back then really stimulated him too much.Seeing that the Leng family is going so smoothly now, it is inevitable that there will be turmoil.

"Don't you think I don't want to be a loving father and a daughter? Don't I want to call him 'Daddy' without any scruples? But he never acknowledged me again, what do you want me to do!" CHRISTINA looked sadly Looking in the direction her father left, she covered her eyes with her hands, expressionless.It was not what she wanted to be called an illegitimate daughter.Her birth was not at all self-determined.This "father" who raised her but refused to acknowledge her, how many times she wanted to vent her resentment for so many years face to face, but every time she saw his eyes, she trembled with fear.

"I thought you were hiding because you were worried that he would know about your relationship with me." Thinking about it, I knew that he and her father were good friends, but she slept in his bed secretly. I can't bear it.

"He doesn't care, all he thinks about is that woman Leng Yunxi!" Speaking of this, she suddenly paused, and looked at Mr. Zhang with a somewhat ugly face: "He still doesn't know that you agreed to Leng Yunxi's investigation You wouldn't really confess to my father about the stalking attack that day, would you?"
