[Phantom of the Opera] Devil's Beauty

Beth doesn't want to do anything for Audrey, but she has no choice.Apart from agreeing to Odell, she really doesn't know how to survive in this city.

She hadn't showered for many days, and when she came to the apartment, her fingernails were covered in mud, and her soles were covered in bean-sized blisters.Her smooth and shiny hair became frizzy like withered grass, and her lips, which were originally as delicate as petals, were chapped and white.After she saw it in the mirror, she felt that the sky was about to collapse. Ever since she became a female pet, she had never been in such a mess.

Isn't it just to keep Bai Lanzhi away from a man, and it's not murder.she can do it.She's already like this, what else can't she do?

Beth closed her eyes and struggled to say, "I'll do it."

Audrey achieved her goal, put on her wide-brimmed hat, and left with satisfaction.

Beth lay in the bathtub, watching a maid squatting on the ground trimming her nails and pulling out the dirt inside through the steaming mist; another maid brought a large bucket of hot water to wet her frizzy hair , Massaging her scalp and smoothing her messy hair.Her overgrown eyebrows were shaved into the shape of willow leaves, and her nails were polished and rounded one by one, and painted with bright red nail polish.After grooming, she smelled the perfume on her wrist, and finally felt the meaning of life again.This is the life she deserves to live.

There is just one thing, she is always puzzled: she was kicked out of the duke's manor, why can Bai Lanzhi live such a prosperous life, and she has to rely on other people's help and relief?

This question was like a long and sharp needle piercing her heart.

She thought maliciously: Maybe Bai Lanzhi had better luck than her. Before she reached the center of Paris, she fell in love with a powerful man and got everything by betraying her appearance...

After thinking about Bai Lanzhi's life for a long time, she felt a little resentful. Isn't that what female pets do?She has been wandering on the street for two days, except for thugs, no rich man has taken a fancy to her, and Bai Lanzhi was taken in by a rich man just after she was kicked out of the manor. Doesn't it prove that she is not as good as Bai Lanzhi?

Thinking of this, Beth almost died of anger.

-

The hall of the small theater was far less magnificent than the Duke's manor. Beth was picking on the decoration of the small theater while waiting for Blanche.On the shiny marble floor, she saw her current appearance, the dark circles under her eyes were a bit heavy, and her complexion was not very good-looking, but her flaws did not conceal her beauty, she was still so beautiful.Her beauty is almost the same as that of Bailanzhi. If Bailanzhi is a gorgeous rose, then she is a delicate and lovely lily.There may be men who don't like roses, but absolutely no man will spoil lilies.

She clenched her hands tightly, eager to know whether Bai Lanzhi was doing well.She read the newspaper, and couldn't believe that it was about Blanche, she actually refuted Odile's face in public!How can she live such a wonderful life, how dare she live such a wonderful life?After being abandoned by the Duke, shouldn't she be in tears all day long, immersed in pain and shame?The duke doesn't want her anymore, how could she act so relaxed and have the confidence to argue with Odile?

"Beth, it's you." A clear voice sounded behind her.Beth turned around quickly, and then froze. She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Blanche.

The change in Blanche...so much.

It's not that her facial features have undergone any surprising changes, but her gaze and temperament.All female pets have an elegant and calm temperament, but they give people a very false feeling.Because they are inferior people, the elegance and calmness are not engraved in their bones, so no matter how elegant or beautiful their posture is, they are like the eyebrows and eyes painted on the face of a doll, which may fall off at any time.

At the beginning, even though Bai Lanzhi was the best among them, she still didn't have that real elegance, but now she has it.

Why?

Beth questioned unwillingly again in her heart.

She took a deep breath, clenched her teeth, and held back some pitiful tears for a long time: "Bai Lanzhi, we were all kicked out, do you know that? You must be gloating..."

"Why should I gloat, your misfortune can exchange for my luck?"

Beth choked.

"Tell me, what do you have to do with me?"

Forget it, after living in the Duke's Manor for so many years, she never said that she had won Blanche.Beth asked in a desperate tone, "Can you take me in?"

Bai Lanzhi replied unhurriedly: "It's not up to me."

She knows it!She knew that the reports in the newspapers were all fake!Bai Lanzhi is still the little bitch she used to be, without any sympathy... Before Beth finished cursing in her heart, she heard her continue: "You have to fight for it yourself."

"Fight? Fight for what?" Beth was a little at a loss.

Bai Lanzhi asked, "Do you still remember how to sing coloratura?"

"Of course I remember, the godmother also praised that my voice is better than yours."

"What about ballet?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"What about royal protocol?"

"remember."

"Horse riding, archery, natural science?"

"I remember, what exactly are you trying to say?" Beth rolled her eyes, "Could it be that you know how to get back to the manor?"

Bai Lanzhi ignored her: "You know everything, are you afraid you won't be able to stay?"

"Wait, I don't understand what you mean..."

Beth was stunned. The defection in her imagination should be that Blanche condescended to pick and choose her, and then humiliated her in a long speech about her experience and clothes, and then said a few words lamenting her kindness, When she was moved to tears, he took her in hypocritically.What's the situation now?

Beth felt things were out of her control.

Bai Lanzhi thought for a while, then hooked her finger to her: "Come with me." After hooking her finger, she turned around, blushing a little, this was Eric's action, why should she imitate him.

Beth followed in bewilderment.

They came to the outside of the dance practice room, where a few thin girls were doing bar exercises. They raised their hands high and focused on their toes, but their arm movements and foot positions were in a mess.Beth watched for a moment, feeling speechless: "Are they really dancing ballet?"

"Well, they are members of the dance troupe of the small theater. Don't laugh at them, the third-rate dancers on the market are like this. They can stay, you are so much better than them, why not? You don't have to ask me at all, just need Tell the manager you know everything and stay is a breeze."

Beth always felt something was wrong: "Wait a minute, I don't understand..."

Bai Lanzhi yawned: "The manager's name is Da Luo Jia, you can go find him, there is a nameplate on the wall. I didn't get a good rest last night, so I went to catch up on sleep first."

"Wait..." Beth still didn't understand.

What went wrong, was it so easy to get a job and a place to live in Paris?Then why did she wander for so many days before?Still obeying Odile's order for a small apartment?

Countless questions filled her mind, squeezing her thoughts to swell.

Why...why could Bai Lanzhi solve her predicament with just a few words?Is she really that different from Bai Lanzhi?

As long as she thinks that she is not as good as Bai Lanzhi, her cheeks will swell as if she has been slapped several times.Impossible, it is definitely not that easy for a woman to survive in a big city, maybe the so-called theater manager will make things difficult for her, or force her to betray her lust.

Unexpectedly, after hearing so much about her meeting, Daroga was shocked and surprised: "Of course I can stay, why can't I let you stay? You can live next to Miss Blanche, can you find a way? It has a nameplate on it."

"Look, find the way..."

Beth is complicated.

that's all?Nothing else?

As she walked out of the office, she turned her head frequently, hoping that Daluojia could make some excessive demands, to verify her idea that Bai Lanzhi relied on her beauty to get her position.But until she walked out of the room, Daloga did not make the impertinent demands she imagined.

and so……

Why was she living in such a mess before?

-

Along the way, Beth heard a lot of gossip.Many people are whispering about who is more beautiful, she or Bai Lanzhi. This seems to be an eternal topic. She and Bai Lanzhi are always being compared.Beth has never been afraid of being discussed, but this time, she suddenly felt that she was severely compared.

When those people called Blanche, they called them "Miss Blanche";Why do they respect Bai Lanzhi so much?How is she inferior to Bai Lanzhi?

These few questions tossed and turned in her mind over and over again, almost becoming her inner demon.

Suddenly, she stopped and hid behind the wall. She saw Bai Lanzhi in the corridor!

Bai Lanzhi stood in the corridor, with her hands behind her back, her head lowered, and her toes rubbing against the floor.In front of her stood a tall man.The man was wearing a black coat and black gloves, with his arms folded and his eyes slightly lowered.From Beth's perspective, all he could see was his slender neck, sharp shoulders, and sharp jaw.

Beth might not be bright in other ways, but she was surprisingly sensitive in matters of sex.She could almost see at a glance that Bai Lanzhi's eyes were about to overflow with admiration, she liked the man in front of her.

The man's tone was devoid of emotion: "What do you want from me?"

This man should be the benefactor of Bao. Raising Bai Lanzhi. He should be tired of Bai Lanzhi now, right?Beth gloats, and at the same time, a dark thought arises in her heart: if she gets this man, will it prove that she is more beautiful and attractive than Blanche?

This idea is like weeds that grow wildly in late spring, completely unable to control the rise.The more she thought about it, the more feasible it became.At this moment, Audrey's request had been forgotten by her, she just wanted to prove that she was no worse than Bai Lanzhi...

"I want to know, what did you mean by that kiss yesterday?" Bai Lanzhi asked in a low voice.

Eric paused: "What do you think?"

Blanche looked at him.His pronunciation is very standard, without the accent of any country, which makes his origin extremely mysterious.At some point, she found that no matter what he looked at, he was understated, as if he had been a long-term official, and he was no longer surprised by any luxurious treasures.She hated his look, just like the way he kissed her yesterday, her legs were weak because of that kiss, but he was as calm as touching the rim of a glass with his lips.

The two spoke in a very low voice, and Beth couldn't hear the specific content, and was about to die of anxiety.More than anyone else, she wanted to know what would happen in the next second, whether Bai Lanzhi would be heartbroken because of the man's indifference, and then shed tears on the spot?It's best like this, only in this way, she will feel more when she seduces that man.

Beth breathed heavily, quietly revealing a pair of prying eyes, and the next moment, she saw Blanche grabbing the man's wrist and pulling him into the room forcefully.

Beth:? ? ?

Did your godmother teach you that? ?
