Although Christine Kuo (苟芸慧) suffered emotionally from recent “third party” accusations, the budding actress may have more to gain from this relationship drama. Recently, Christine was spotted at the bank, seeking the services of a financial consultant. Reports then claimed that Christine has more than $1 million HKD in savings, adding fuel to current speculations about her relationship with Aaron Kwok (郭富城). While Christine clarified that the bank account belonged to her father, she admitted that she has received an increase in job offers since the scandal. With more money in her pockets, Christine seems to have left her distress behind and appeared cheerful at public events. Yesterday, Christine appeared at a promotional event for I.T., a fashion retail chain owned by businessman Sham Kar Wai (沈嘉偉) who happens to be one of Aaron’s close friends. Christine insisted that she does not know Sham and has never met him in person. She explained that her appearance was scheduled by TVB. When asked about her new found millionaire status, Christine quickly denied the claim, but shared that she has recently received more job offers. “The account belongs to my father… I am not scheduled to film yet, so I can pick up a few more jobs… Is it because of Aaron? Not only Aaron, I must thank everyone for their help [with generating more offers]“. Christine then addressed rumors that Aaron’s assistant Shu Mei (小美) introduced his mother and friends to her in an effort to sabotage Aaron and Lynn Hung (熊黛林)’s relationship. Christine clarified that she and Shu Mei and Aaron maintains a strictly professional relationship, and that she has never met Aaron’s mother. She was introduced to Aaron’s friends by chance at Christine Ng’s (伍詠薇) birthday party, though she was unaware of their association with Aaron at the time. She then praised Shu Mei, describing her as a talented person who is nice and fair to everyone. When asked about allegations that Shu Mei attempted to infuriate Lynn by giving Christine VIP tickets to Aaron’s concert, Christine explained, “Ms. [Virginia] Lok (樂易玲) said that Moses Chan (陳豪) was going to attend as well, but he couldn’t because of work so I ended up going [in his place]“. When asked to comment about good friend Eliza Sam’s (岑麗香) “third party” rumors, Christine joked that all recent headlines seem to involve “third parties” accusations. She defended Eliza, confident that Eliza would never step in between Him Law (羅仲謙) and Tavia Yeung’s (楊怡) relationship. Reporters then asked if Christine feels empathy for her friend, she replied, “Her case is similar to mine. It is all false news written only for entertainment purposes. I will send a message later to console her.” Creds: Ming Pao
