The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

Chapter 148 Favoring One over the Other (2)

[Ah? Why, why is He Xulan unhappy? Is it because the gift given by Madam Ge is not good? I think the bracelet is in good condition! ]

[No way, it looks pretty good to me, it can't be fake. There was no such thing as fake "glass-type" jade in ancient times.]

[It's not about the bracelet. He Xulan is the daughter of the He family, not our anchor. She has seen the world and won't let herself be criticized for a bracelet.

My guess is that it was because the old lady of the Ge family mentioned "appearance" and "figure" in front of everyone just now, which gave He Xulan the illusion that she was being sold at a price, so she frowned. 】

Zhao Mianmian:

【? ? ? 】

【Wait, what’s wrong with me? ? 】

[Stop spamming, explain to me clearly, what’s wrong with me? ? ]

The audience in the live broadcast room ignored Zhao Mianmian and continued to discuss on the public screen:

[Indeed, the ladies that He Xulan associates with in the capital are all well-educated, polite and reserved ladies. She has never seen such praise. Not only is it simple and rude, but it also accurately avoids mentioning the biggest advantage of the legitimate sister, and makes her sound like a commodity in the hands of a human trafficker. If I were in her shoes, I would also be unhappy.]

[Hahahaha, that's right. Don't underestimate He Xulan because she looks delicate and weak. In fact, she is just like Qin Shuyu. She is very active in thinking.

Madam Ge offended the main person the moment they met. No matter how hard others try, this marriage is doomed to fail. 】

[Ah, then their trip to Quzhou was in vain? ]

[It may not be a waste of time, so Madam He should just take the two sisters out to relax. If He Xulan wants to discuss marriage as soon as she returns to Beijing, she may not have the opportunity to travel far in the future...]

The audience in the live broadcast room watched Zhao Mianmian step forward to greet the Ge family while analyzing He Xulan's psychological activities.

Everyone focused their attention on the He family's eldest daughter who had a worried look on her face, but they didn't expect that something unexpected happened to Zhao Mianmian.

Zhao Mianmian happily bowed to Madam Ge.

Although her every move was not as impeccable as He Xulan's, she was also serious and sincere.

However, the old lady did not let her get up immediately. Instead, she turned her head and said to Madam He with emotion:

"Is this the little girl from the Zhao family?"

"It's all thanks to your kindness, elder sister, that you brought her to Beijing. Otherwise, this orphan would have to endure so much hardship in the countryside!"

As she spoke, Madam Ge stood up, took something from the nanny, then walked forward with a smile and put it in Zhao Mianmian's hand.

Zhao Mianmian stood up on her own and bowed to express her gratitude, then she had the time to look at the palm of her hand.

What Madam Ge put into her hand was a palm-sized golden locket.

There is a red rope tied on the golden lock, which looks golden and shiny, and is quite... valuable.

However, the next second, the system prompt that flashed on the public screen of the live broadcast room stunned everyone:

【Gold Coin+1】

Zhao Mianmian: [???]

Barrage: [? ? ? ? ]

After the system prompt popped up, the public screen was silent for three seconds.

Three seconds later, deafening laughter broke out in Zhao Mianmian's live studio:

【Hahahahahaha】

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, am I reading this right, Duo, Duo Shao? ? 】

[Hahahaha, the one in front, you read it right, one gold coin, just one!!!]

[No, no, how can such a big "gold" lock be worth a gold coin? Is it made of copper? ? ]

[Copper? Copper in ancient times was also very valuable, right? It feels like this is a gold-plated iron lock.]

[Hahaha, the one in front, are you sure that's gold plated?]

[No way, what else can be plated besides gold? ? ]

[Honestly speaking, the cost of plating a piece of iron lock into this look must be more valuable than the lock itself! ]

【Hahahahaha, I can’t take it anymore, let me go laugh for a while. 】

Seeing the comments from the audience in the live broadcast room, Zhao Mianmian's face turned red.

But she was now the cousin of the He family. She could neither curse on the spot nor jump up and smash the gilded iron lock on Mrs. Ge's nose. She could only accept it reluctantly and hid behind He Xulan with a miserable look on her face.

"Oh, sister, why are you spending so much money? Sister Mian is only three years old, she can't bear such a valuable gift from you!"

"Sister, what are you talking about? They are just some material possessions. How can they be so insignificant? Besides..."

Madam Ge lowered her eyelids, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and continued in a low voice beside Madam He:

"Don't underestimate the age of three. Some children can already remember things at the age of three!"

"Old sister, please don't blame me for being too talkative. I'll remind you:

My sister has raised this young lady in the He family, and she will naturally help the He family in the future. Don't favor one over the other just because the young lady is young, and lose the big picture for the small.

If someone sees you and remembers you, and resents you over time, then the gain will be worth the loss..."

When Mrs. He heard what Ge An said, her eyes flashed.

She looked at Zhao Mianmian thoughtfully, but said nothing.

As they spoke, the matter of the "golden lock" was just mentioned in passing.

[Fuck, this old lady is really cunning. She gave the anchor a gold-plated iron lock. Is she betting that our anchor is too young to tell the difference between iron and gold? ? ]

[Haha, I think she is betting that our anchor’s surname is Zhao and not He. She is living under someone else’s roof and has no choice, so she dare not tell the He family about the “gold lock” matter.]

[No, no, I don't quite understand her train of thought. It's a gold-plated thing, but it's not real gold. If it's exposed, won't she lose all her face and dignity? ]

[You don’t understand, this is the old lady’s brilliance~

Don't underestimate this as it's just a gold-plated iron lock, but it can greatly enhance the reputation of the Ge family.

If the two families were to marry in the future, even if they found out that the gift the Ge family gave to the anchor was gold-plated, they would not damage the harmony between the two families because of a woman from another family, and let He Xulan suffer grievances in the Ge family.

If the two families are not related, then it would be even easier. They probably won't have much contact anyway, and it would save a lot of money, so why not? ! 】

[Tsk tsk, why does it sound like our anchor is a sucker, serving as a tool for others to keep up appearances for nothing? ? ]

[Hahahaha, a tool man, isn’t he just a tool man! ]

Seeing everyone’s speeches, Zhao Mianmian curled her lips.

She looked at Old Madam He thoughtfully, then at the jade bracelet on He Xulan's hand.

Finally, the brilliance in his eyes disappeared in a flash, hiding in the deep darkness...
