Chapter 777: 201: Wise Uncle Du, ignorance! _6

Take for instance the coveted membership card to Guó Sè Tiānxiāng; it’s not something you can simply buy with money, you have to seize the right moment.

She had heard of Guó Sè Tiānxiāng before and always wanted to go, but there was always a queue, and she hated having to lower herself to wait in a line, so it remained just a thought. Now, someone was actually offering her a membership card and pleading for her to accept it.

These days, Zheng Xianjing had been feeling extraordinarily pleased with herself, but gradually, she started to become restless.

Because Wang Zeqi hadn’t visited her for a week.

That’s not right…

Logically speaking, Wang Zeqi should have come long ago.

Could something have gone wrong?

Zheng Xianjing promptly went to Zheng Lingling to discuss her concerns, “Mom, what do you think is going on?”

Zheng Lingling didn’t take this matter to heart and laughed, saying, “There’s nothing to worry about. If Master Du is trying to test you, hanging you out to dry for a month is normal. For now, all you need to do is keep still. Don’t be like an ant on a hot pan, then you wouldn’t be any different from those vulgar fans.”

Playing hard to get wasn’t only a strategy women used, men of power and influence would use it too.

After her speech, Zheng Lingling gave a meaningful reminder. “Xianjing, if you want to achieve something big, you have to be patient. The longer you lay low, the greater the rewards.”

Being reassured by Zheng Lingling like this made Zheng Xianjing feel a lot better. “Mhm, Mom, you’re right. I know what to do.”

Zheng Lingling nodded. “Good.”

There weren’t many classes in school these days, so Zheng Xianjing stayed home every day. Those who wanted to curry favor with her were practically trampling over the Zheng household’s doorstep.

Seeing so many visitors bringing gifts to Zheng Xianjing every day, Mrs. Zheng couldn’t help but say, “Xianjing, there’s an old saying that one shouldn’t accept rewards for nothing. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to accept these gifts from other people?”

Inappropriate?

What’s inappropriate about it?

These weren’t things she wanted, but things others were pleading for her to accept.

That old hag, she’s only being critical because Ni Yang’s popularity had been overshadowed by her!

She was too much!

Zheng Xianjing said with a smile, “Grandmother, I understand what you’re saying. I don’t want to accept their gifts either, but they insist on giving them to me. Furthermore, they haven’t asked me to do anything in return. They give me gifts and I also return gifts to them. This is normal among friends.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng felt somewhat relieved. “It’s fine as long as you’re returning gifts. Us Zhengs shouldn’t do anything to provoke gossip.”

Ni Yang had been very busy recently. She had to study the Thirteen Ghost Needle Techniques, manage the sound system at the shop, visit the Noodle Restaurant, Milk Tea Shop, Ice-Skin Jade-Body Shop, and Guó Sè Tiānxiāng regularly, and also find time to take her school exams.

After the exams, Ni Yang and Han Xiaoyu went home together.

Han Xiaoyu didn’t have a bike, so Ni Yang was able to give her a ride.

When they reached their destination, Han Xiaoyu jumped off from the backseat, “Yangyang, there’s still time, why don’t you come to my house and hang out?”

In her previous life, Ni Yang didn’t have many close friends, so in this life, she felt especially grateful for any friendships that came her way. She nodded, “Sure.”

Han Xiaoyu comes from an average wage-earning family.

Han’s mother said, “You girls chat. I’ll go out and take a walk.”

Young people have their own topics to chat about. She couldn’t contribute to the conversation and would rather go out and have a chat with some friends. It’s hard to find a day to rest.

Ni Yang nodded, “Take care, Auntie.”

After Han’s mother left, Han Xiaoyu said, “Yangyang, do you know? My mom is usually very tight-fisted, and this is the first time she’s been so generous!”

When Han’s mother took out the oranges, Xiaoyu was shocked!

She couldn’t believe the woman in front of her was the same person who had argued and fought over a needle!

Ni Yang laughed and said, “I think Auntie is quite nice, she’s very reasonable.”

Han Xiaoyu made a merciless comment about her own mother, “She is quite reasonable, but she tends to be stingy and stubborn. You don’t know this, but years ago she had a fight with Aunt Wang over a needle! Now the two of them wouldn’t speak to each other even when they cross paths.”

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside, “Is Aunt Han home?”

“Who is it? My mom is not home, come on in!” Han Xiaoyu called out without looking up.

In a short while, the visitor came in from the yard, “Sister Xiaoyu, you’re home. Here’s the two yuan I borrowed from your house last time. I’m returning it to you.”

“Yanyun.” Han Xiaoyu stood up from her chair, “By the way, how’s your grandmother? Is she feeling better?”

Wu Yanyun nodded, “She’s much better after taking the medicine.”

“That’s good,” Han Xiaoyu said. “Let me introduce you, Yanyun. This is my classmate and good friend, Ni Yang. Yangyang, this is Wu Yanyun, one of our neighbors. Just call her Yanyun.”

Ni Yang walked over with a smile, “Nice to meet you.”
