Chapter 138 Unwrapping the Gifts, One Courtyard House
Chapter 138 Unwrapping the Gifts, One Courtyard House
"What are your plans for today?" Jiang Mu asked suddenly.
Song Nanxi put down her chopsticks after only a few bites, and smiled inexplicably upon hearing this.
Lazy, he said, "Of course, I'll go back to sleep."
Jiang Mu's gaze instantly focused on Qi Yu. He wanted to know if Qi Yu was included in this "taking a nap".
But this question is clearly self-humiliating.
He said, "There's a small auction at Fenglong tonight, want to go and have some fun?"
Song Nanxi had little interest in activities that required spending money.
Jiang Mu seemed to see right through her.
"If you see something you like, I'll take a picture of it for you."
Song Nanxi paused, then lifted her eyelids.
He feigned seriousness and said, "It's not right to accept a reward without merit—"
Jiang Mu chuckled, "That's true, then I take back what I said last time."
Song Nanxi immediately said, "I think the Crown Prince is missing a pendant around his neck. What do you think?"
The prince, who knew nothing, barked excitedly as he saw his parents looking at him.
Silly child, you don't even know that your own mother has sold you out.
Jiang Mu clicked his tongue and said, "Aren't you afraid of breaking the child's neck?"
But he eventually convinced Song Nanxi to accompany him to the auction.
Jiang Mu is not usually interested in such activities, but because it was Grandma Zhuang's birthday and Fenglong's auction items included a Tang Dynasty painting, he went for that painting.
As for inviting Song Nanxi—
Jiang Mu casually tapped his leg with his finger, thinking that this bodyguard should back down. Otherwise, did he think that climbing into Song Nanxi's bed would make him worthy of her?
“Then I’ll come pick you up tonight. Remember to dress up,” Jiang Mu added slowly, “just like last night.”
He went downstairs.
Sensing something unusual about his surroundings, Jiang Muye spotted a figure wearing a baseball cap. As soon as his gaze swept over, the person immediately lowered the brim of the cap and turned around.
Jiang Mu frowned, thinking about the online comments, which Song Nanxi probably hadn't had time to read yet.
As for why he didn't have time, Jiang Mu couldn't help but sneer when he thought about it.
But she still took out her phone and sent a message: "Be careful when you come down; there are paparazzi everywhere outside the complex."
It's almost certain that they came for Song Nanxi.
The internet is indeed very lively.
Netizens have been following this drama all day, and the related hashtag is still trending.
This will obviously take several days to discuss.
Original Poster: [The feud between wealthy families is truly fascinating! Let's have a rational discussion: whose side are you on this time?]
1L: [What a joke about real and fake heiresses coming true! Art really does imitate life, lol]
2L: [So Song Nanxi is quite pitiful, being maliciously switched at birth and enduring so many years of hardship.]
3L: [Hilarious! The real winners this time aren't Song Nanxi, but those female celebrities who were heavily mocked by Song Yirou's fans. It turns out her rich heiress status was stolen by her own mother. I see those female celebrities' fans are already celebrating wildly.]
4L: [Wow... Does Song Yirou have that many haters?]
Reply from the nested room:
What she's been doing lately has really ruined her image. To be honest, I still don't know if she's fulfilled her promise to donate.
Oh right, thinking back on her actions now, and connecting them to the current situation with the fake heiress controversy, help! Who can say she was completely unaware?! It's clearly orchestrated to incite her fans to cyberbully Song Nanxi!
Damn, Song Nanxi is such a pitiful woman.
I feel sorry for her now, no wonder she's gone crazy. If my rich kid life were stolen, my resentment would be so great it could blow up the earth!
...
30L: [Song Yirou's image has definitely collapsed this time, but she is still very capable.]
Reply from the nested room:
[Hilarious! After receiving so many years of elite education, how utterly useless must one be to know nothing?]
To be fair, Song Yirou is still a bit inferior to Song Nanxi. As far as we know, Song Nanxi can play the suona, ride a motorcycle (better than a professional), and knows traditional Chinese medicine (Zhou Man's incident happened not long ago, surely everyone hasn't forgotten that).
[I agree with the comment above. I heard that Song Nanxi grew up in the countryside, and it's really impressive that she learned so many skills! Oh! I'll add one more thing: Song Nanxi's acting skills far surpass Song Yirou's!]
……
Not only on forums, but also on Weibo, the place where the discussion is most concentrated.
Song Nanxi's Weibo was unusually lively, with far fewer of the usual sarcastic remarks.
You've really made something of yourself, leaving me all alone in the countryside herding cattle.
Socially awkward Xiao Song: [Then don't stay in the countryside, come out here.]
I even knelt down and begged my parents, but they still insist I'm their biological child!
Socially awkward Xiao Song: [If all else fails, you can call me Mom.]
Sis, no wonder you're so confident, you really are rich!
Sister Song, I never imagined your life was so tragic. To be honest, do you hate Song Yirou?
Socially anxious Xiao Song: [You're so mean! The opposite of hate is love, don't you think?]
……
While Song Nanxi was replying to netizens, Xia Tao sent her a message.
Xia Tao: [Baby! Netizens aren't as resistant to you anymore! How about we post some treats on Weibo?]
The dream of 900 million young men: [Hmm?]
Xia Tao: [Post some photos or something! Waaah, you don't have enough work! I can't even catch you on set!]
Xia Tao: [I really want to see a fresh baby! [kiss]]
The dream of 900 million young men: [What a greasy nickname, get out of here.]
The Dream of 900 Million Young Men: [Oh, I received a lot of useless things for my birthday last night. Here's my address, I'll send you some to play with.]
Xia Tao: [Huh? [Shocked face] Baby, isn't this a bit inappropriate? It's someone else's gift, after all.]
Song Nanxi didn't even know who the group of people who gave her the gifts were, so what was there to cherish?
Even to her, they were a burden. She knew without a doubt how much of these gifts were sincere and how much were perfunctory.
Most of them went there because of Song Yirou, and prepared an exquisite gift for her, but out of politeness, they just prepared one for her casually.
Ling Sheng's hired assistant was called over by Song Nanxi. The assistant's name was Xiao Liu, and she was a very shy girl.
He is 1.8 meters tall, taller than Song Nanxi, with short hair and a muscular physique.
He looks very cool, but he blushes very easily.
She is currently sitting cross-legged on the carpet, unwrapping gifts and noting who gave what.
We can reciprocate as needed in the future.
Anyway, Song Nanxi doesn't worry about these things. At most, she just sends the list back to the old house to Lao Bai and lets him worry about it.
Xiaoliu never imagined that there were people in this world who didn't like opening gifts!
She got numb while they were taking things apart; there were just too many.
Until she pulled a property certificate out of the box.
It says--
"A courtyard house in Beijing!!"
Xiaoliu raised her voice, her eyes widening in disbelief.
Are rich people really that extravagant when giving birthday gifts?!
Song Nanxi, nestled on the sofa, was arguing with the haters when she heard this. She lifted her eyelids slightly and asked, "Who sent it?"
"Let me see." Xiao Liu looked down and flipped through the documents. "Qinzhou."
Song Nanxi nodded.
Not long after.
Xiaoliu exclaimed again, "Ah, there's a diamond necklace inside! It's so big!!"
This must be the legendary pigeon egg!
"Who is this?"
Xiaoliu: "Yu Jing."
Mentioning Yu Jing reminded Song Nanxi of the gift Yu Wan had sent yesterday, which she hadn't opened yet.
Fortunately, this gift wasn't among the pile of gifts and wasn't opened by Xiaoliu.
Thinking of the little girl's expectant look last night, she must have been very disappointed if someone else had opened the gift she had carefully prepared.
Song Nanxi asked Qi Yu to bring it to her and opened it herself.
What comes into view is a handwritten letter, followed by a super light clay doll in a transparent box.
The sculpture depicts Song Nanxi as Shao Sheng in "The Legend of Ming Yao". Yu Wan even added a pair of fox ears, and Song Nanxi's fox eyes are particularly lifelike.
Qi Yu smiled gently, "Cute."
