Knowing his father too well, SING KUNG thinks that HOI is not
serious in his relationship with MING. So he allies with HFUNG
to break up the pair.
TOM admires TONG's elegance and plucks up courage to reveal his
love for her. However, he is coldly refused by TONG and he
feels so ashamed of himself. Filled with anger and shame, he
insults TONG and discloses MING's participation in the beauty
contest. TONG feels infuriated as she is all along kept in the
dark. She and MING have a fierce quarrel and MING walks out of
the house. Out of the love for her daughter, TONG goes everywhere
to find MING who is later impressed by her deep love. The two
make up and MING decides to withdraw from the beauty contest.
In fact, MING's character is quite strong and she longs for
independence. Added to this is her Electra Complex which makes
her fall in love with HOI, hoping that she can one day break
away from the control of her mother.
