Chapter 233 She is not pitiful

"Granted, Miss Ah Lian is indeed beautiful, but time has not been kind to her. I used to find her attractive, but now, seeing Miss Hanxiang for the first time, I realize what a heavenly beauty truly looks like. What's more, she's still so young!" A man gave a lewd laugh.

"Once you make a comparison, Ah Lian is certainly losing. After all, she's no longer young, how can she compete with the youthful and tender Hanxiang? After spending so long in this world of decadence, she has lost all the innocence and brilliance she once had. I'm glad I made the right gamble."

"Hehe, I just heard that some fool staked a hundred liang on Ah Lian! The poor chap must be regretting it terribly now!"

The hall burst into a clamor once again. Hanxiang had just finished her performance. There was a palpable sense of an already decided outcome, as if there was no need for further competition. The crowd became raucous, their initial mood of calmly enjoying the performance had vanished.
