The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

Chapter 180 The Secret of the Coming-of-Age Ceremony

After knowing He Shiqian's identity, Zhao Mianmian decided to stay away from him.

So far away that one would deliberately take a detour as soon as one smelled his scent.

However, although He Shiqian looked like a gentleman and spoke gently to everyone, he was actually a real troublemaker. Within two days, he had ruined the relationship between Zhao Mianmian and everyone in the He family.

That day, Zhao Mianmian was playing by the East Lake.

From a distance, he saw He Shiqian and He Xulan standing in the garden and talking. Without thinking, he turned around and left.

However, before she could take a step forward with her left foot, He Shiqian's calm voice suddenly entered her ears.

"My eldest brother had something important to do that day, so he didn't have time to rush home. He missed my third sister's coming-of-age ceremony. Third sister, please don't blame my eldest brother."

"Big brother is too busy with work to come back, and he didn't mean to not come back. How could Xu Lan be so ignorant as to get angry with big brother over such a small matter?"

He Xulan lowered her eyes and twisted the handkerchief in her hand.

Although the tone was still the same, for some reason, Zhao Mianmian always felt that He Xulan was a little different today.

She didn't look like the dignified, proud and conceited Miss He on weekdays. Instead, she had an inexplicable...

Guilty!

[Feeling guilty? What is she feeling guilty about? ]

[This is the He family, and He Xulan is the only legitimate daughter in the family. She can get whatever she wants, so why should she feel guilty? ]

[Something’s going on. I feel like there’s something going on here.]

[That's right, when have you ever seen He Xulan twisting her handkerchief while talking to someone? It's obvious that she has something to hide.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, I have to say, this He Shiqian is very weird. The world was peaceful before he came back, but when he came back, even He Xulan became abnormal.]

[Hahaha, should our anchor hide from him? ]

[Hey, wait, wait, what are you doing, host? ? ]

[Anchor, anchor, don't leave, come and watch the fun for a while~~~]

When Zhao Mianmian met He Shiqian, she had a feeling that nothing good was going to happen.

She didn't even bother to listen to He Xulan's gossip and just wanted to sneak back to her own yard.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room had been going through a long period of blandness, and even their mouths were dry, so there was no way they would let her slip away so easily.

The next second, a reward fell directly on Zhao Mianmian's head.

[Your fan [Don't stop gossiping] gave 1000 gold coins as a reward. I hope the anchor will keep up the good work~~]

One thousand gold coins is not too much, but not too little either.

Logically speaking, after reaching level 5, Zhao Mianmian should not care about this little money anymore.

But she has been hiding for so many days and hasn't seen any rewards from fans for a long time.

Seeing the system prompt floating on the public screen, Zhao Mianmian withdrew his foot with tears of gratitude, and then hurried over and hid behind an inconspicuous short tree.

"I'm glad you're not angry, but why has Third Sister been avoiding Big Brother recently? She doesn't even talk to Big Brother much. But she's not happy with the things Big Brother asked someone to send back."

[Uh, what is that? ? ]

[Oh, what else could it be? He must be talking about the coming-of-age gift he gave to He Xulan, the garnet mask that made He Xinyi so jealous that she took it out on our anchor.]

[Wait, wait, wait, isn't it said that the headgear is in excellent condition, rare even in the palace? It's enough for a dowry. What else is He Xulan dissatisfied with for a mere 15-year-old girl? ? ]

[There is a problem, there must be a problem! ]

[Hahaha, I feel so inexplicably excited! ]

Zhao Mianmian:

【…】

Hearing what He Shiqian said, He Xulan gritted her teeth, a faint light flashed in her eyes, and her face suddenly showed a distortion that was inconsistent with her status.

Zhao Mianmian had never seen He Xulan like this before, and she was shocked and had a new understanding of her cousin.

However, He Xulan was no pushover. In just a breath, she adjusted her state and continued to deal with He Shiqian calmly.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Xulan likes the pair of garnet hairpins very much. How could she not be satisfied?"

【? 】

【? ? 】

【? ? ? 】

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard He Xulan's words, they began to frantically type question marks on the public screen.

Some people didn't react and were scratching their heads and asking for explanations on the public screen.

[No, why are you asking questions like that? What’s the problem with the coming-of-age ceremony? ]

[Ahhh, please, stop asking questions and just say what you want to say.]

[If anyone asks again, I curse him to never have seasoning packets when eating instant noodles, and never have pearls when drinking milk tea!!]

[Oh my god, this is so poisonous. You can curse me, but you can’t curse my milk tea! ]

[Ahem, okay, okay, I remember when He Xulan came of age, she took out a garnet mask.]

[Yes, Garnet, there is nothing wrong with it. ]

[The one in front, are you stupid? ! Is the question "Garnet"? ? ]

【what is that? 】

[It was a "set". I took a closer look at it. The box contained a pair of hairpins, a pair of earrings, a comb, and two Huasheng.

Although the pair of hairpins are the largest and most beautiful, the other items are not bad either. If converted into gold coins, it would probably be worth several thousand. 】

[No, so many things only cost a few thousand gold coins? ? ]

[What are you thinking? Each item is only a few thousand! ! ]

[Fuck! You guys are not saying that originally these things were not all for He Xulan, but He Xulan took advantage of her coming of age and took all the things away to save face? ? ]

[I feel that it is not necessarily that He Xulan "secretly" took it. The things that He Shiqian sent back all passed through Qin Shuyu's hands. Logically, these things should have been distributed by Qin Shuyu.

It is likely that Qin Shuyu gave his share to He Xulan, and the old lady felt that she didn't need it anymore and didn't want it, so the share naturally fell into He Xulan's hands.

As for whether other people have a share, you can judge for yourself...】

[So, among that set of headgear, there is also one for our anchor? ? ]

Seeing this, Zhao Mianmian finally reacted and began to type question marks on the public screen:

【? 】

【? ? ? 】

The crowd was delighted and burst into laughter again [hahahaha]:

[Hahaha, I was saying, with a personality like He Shiqian, how could he only give the anchor a box of junk? Turns out He Xulan got it for him! ]

[I am dying of laughter. The anchor has cheated He Shiyun and He Shiyi, but the only person in the family who has not been cheated is He Xulan. I didn't expect He Xulan to do such a thing behind her back. ]

[Tsk tsk, I originally thought that the eldest daughter of the He family was really insightful and would not bother to compete with a little orphan like the anchor for such petty gains. I didn’t expect that…]

[Well, no matter how sensible she is, she is just a 15-year-old girl after all. Isn't it normal for her not to want to share the things she likes with others?

When you were fifteen, you didn’t like these shiny little gadgets? ? 】

[I don’t like it. I’m a man.]
