Chapter 777: 201: Wise Uncle Du, ignorance! _6 Chapter 777: 201: Wise Uncle Du, ignorance! _6 Take for instance the coveted membership card to GuĂł Sè TiÄnxiÄng; itâs not something you can simply buy with money, you have to seize the right moment.
She had heard of GuĂł Sè TiÄnxiÄng 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 hadnât visited her for a week.
Thatâs not rightâŚ
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, âMom, what do you think is going on?â
Zheng Lingling didnât take this matter to heart and laughed, saying, âThereâs 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. Donât be like an ant on a hot pan, then you wouldnât be any different from those vulgar fans.â
Playing hard to get wasnât only a strategy women used, men of power and influence would use it too.
After her speech, Zheng Lingling gave a meaningful reminder. âXianjing, if you want to achieve something big, you have to be patient. The longer you lay low, the greater the rewards.â
Being reassured by Zheng Lingling like this made Zheng Xianjing feel a lot better. âMhm, Mom, youâre right. I know what to do.â
Zheng Lingling nodded. âGood.â
There werenât 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 householdâs doorstep.
Seeing so many visitors bringing gifts to Zheng Xianjing every day, Mrs. Zheng couldnât help but say, âXianjing, thereâs an old saying that one shouldnât accept rewards for nothing. Isnât it a bit inappropriate to accept these gifts from other people?â
Inappropriate?
Whatâs inappropriate about it?
These werenât things she wanted, but things others were pleading for her to accept.
That old hag, sheâs only being critical because Ni Yangâs popularity had been overshadowed by her!
She was too much!
Zheng Xianjing said with a smile, âGrandmother, I understand what youâre saying. I donât want to accept their gifts either, but they insist on giving them to me. Furthermore, they havenât asked me to do anything in return. They give me gifts and I also return gifts to them. This is normal among friends.â
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zheng felt somewhat relieved. âItâs fine as long as youâre returning gifts. Us Zhengs shouldnât do anything to provoke gossip.â
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 GuĂł Sè TiÄnxiÄng regularly, and also find time to take her school exams.
After the exams, Ni Yang and Han Xiaoyu went home together.
Han Xiaoyu didnât 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, âYangyang, thereâs still time, why donât you come to my house and hang out?â
In her previous life, Ni Yang didnât have many close friends, so in this life, she felt especially grateful for any friendships that came her way. She nodded, âSure.â
Han Xiaoyu comes from an average wage-earning family.
Both her parents worked in the factory. Her father, Han Shengli, was the factory manager, her mother was the workshop director, and the two of them earned a combined monthly salary of 120 yuan. They had three children and owned a house in Beijing, living life neither too well-off nor too poorly.
They were an upper-middle-class family.
âMom, this is my classmate Ni Yang. Sheâs our schoolâs campus beauty and the all-rounder Iâve been telling you about, who jumped grades and even came first in the exams! Just call her Yangyang!â
All parents like high-achieving girls. On hearing Han Xiaoyu say this, Hanâs mother was quick to say, âOh, this is Ni Yang. So the good student looks like this. Come on in and have a seat, come on in and have a seat. Xiaoyu has told me all about you. You donât mind if I call you Yangyang, do you?â
Ni Yang is not only an excellent student but also very attractive, itâs hard not to like her.
âI donât mind.â Ni Yang shook her head with a smile, âThatâs what names are for.â
Just look at the way this girl speaks.
Everything about Ni Yang seemed perfect to Hanâs mom. On the other hand, Xiaoyu could do no right in her eyes.
In conclusion, all the good daughters belong to others.
Seeing Ni Yangâs manners, Hanâs mother couldnât help but offer her the treasured oranges from home, âYangyang, have an orange. Donât hesitate to make yourself at home at Auntieâs place. I heard from Xiaoyu that youâve helped her a lot with her studies. Thank you so much.â
Ever since she became Ni Yangâs classmate, Xiaoyuâs grades had significantly improved!
The teacher even said it was a sure thing that she would get into a university.
Ni Yang chuckled, âAuntie, you donât have to be so formal. Itâs normal for classmates to help each other.â
Her words resonated deeply with Hanâs mother, and she thought to herself how considerate and endearing this girl was.
Hanâs mother hurriedly peeled an orange for Ni Yang, âYangyang, eat up and donât be a stranger to Auntie!â
Ni Yang took the fruit with a word of thanks, âThank you, Auntie.â
Hanâs mother said, âYou girls chat. Iâll go out and take a walk.â
Young people have their own topics to chat about. She couldnât contribute to the conversation and would rather go out and have a chat with some friends. Itâs hard to find a day to rest.
Ni Yang nodded, âTake care, Auntie.â
After Hanâs mother left, Han Xiaoyu said, âYangyang, do you know? My mom is usually very tight-fisted, and this is the first time sheâs been so generous!â
When Hanâs mother took out the oranges, Xiaoyu was shocked!
She couldnât believe the woman in front of her was the same person who had argued and fought over a needle!
Ni Yang laughed and said, âI think Auntie is quite nice, sheâs very reasonable.â
Han Xiaoyu made a merciless comment about her own mother, âShe is quite reasonable, but she tends to be stingy and stubborn. You donât know this, but years ago she had a fight with Aunt Wang over a needle! Now the two of them wouldnât speak to each other even when they cross paths.â
Just then, footsteps could be heard outside, âIs Aunt Han home?â
âWho is it? My mom is not home, come on in!â Han Xiaoyu called out without looking up.
In a short while, the visitor came in from the yard, âSister Xiaoyu, youâre home. Hereâs the two yuan I borrowed from your house last time. Iâm returning it to you.â
âYanyun.â Han Xiaoyu stood up from her chair, âBy the way, howâs your grandmother? Is she feeling better?â
Wu Yanyun nodded, âSheâs much better after taking the medicine.â
âThatâs good,â Han Xiaoyu said. âLet 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.â
Ni Yang walked over with a smile, âNice to meet you.â
