Chapter 416: Her Family Truly Owns A Mine
Snap.
The duck egg in Xiang Yi’s hand fell into the mud mixed with salt water and yellow soil, causing mud to splash up.
“Hey? What are you angry about?”
Jiang Jiujiu clenched her fist, which was hanging beside her skirt, and exclaimed, “You…you dimwit!”
“Ah…it turns out that in this world, what is more difficult than reading comprehension questions, is figuring out the heart of a girl.”
The live stream was full of boisterous and joyful comments:
—— [As expected of you, Xiang Yi! The words of a straight woman!]
—— [Hahahaha, Xiang Yi, just continue being angry at Jiujiu!]
—— [JiuYi is so sweet! I really s.h.i.+p them!!!]
…
All of a sudden, the man’s chuckling filled her ear. He said warmly in a somewhat teasing manner, “Xiang Yi, aren’t you very good at coaxing others?”
Xiang Yi seemed to be in a difficult spot. She only knew to give candy to coax others but her hand was really dirty now so how could she do it now…
Glancing at s.h.i.+ Sui’s clean hand, she had a flash of inspiration and nudged him with her elbow. “Help me get something from my left pocket.”
s.h.i.+ Sui obeyed and fumbled about in her pocket before fis.h.i.+ng out a candy and handing it to Jiang Jiujiu. “There you go, Miss Jiang, please have a candy.”
Instead of feeling comforted, Jiang Jiujiu was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood!
Seeing that she was about to flare up, Xiang Yi said something, which successfully comforted her.
“I have a gift for you.”
Jiang Jiujiu was surprised. ‘Huh?’
After pickling the salted duck egg, Xiang Yi washed her hands and then grabbed a box with a clean packaging. Feeling a little embarra.s.sed, she said, “I’m sorry but your birthday has already pa.s.sed. Can we treat this as a make-up gift?”
Jiang Jiujiu raised her chin arrogantly and said, “It depends on my mood.”
She opened the box and saw a beautiful necklace that had an exquisite, thin chain and a sparkling teardrop-shaped red pendant that was really eye-catching.
There were pop-up comments in the live stream that were full of contempt for the necklace:
—— [Doesn’t Vase Fairy claim to be a pretty and rich heiress? She’s giving a crystal necklace as a gift??]
—— [It looks great but crystals are too low-cla.s.s. Everyone knows that crystals aren’t worth much]
—— [Jiang Jiujiu treats her as her best friend but what about her? She treats Jiang Jiujiu like a fool *waves hand*]
…
As soon as the haters started sending hateful comments, Jiang Jiujiu exclaimed in surprise, “Pigeon blood ruby? Is that the one you dug out of your mine?”
Xiang Yi nodded and said, “Yes, this is the one with the best clarity, color, and cut quality.”
In a instant, someone stood out to explain in layman terms.
—— [Pigeon blood ruby is a very pure red ruby with streaks of faint blue. It’s produced in limit amounts in the world! Each one is worth a lot of money!]
Some people also started to acknowledge Xiang Yi as their sister.
—— [Gemstone…mine? Xiang Yi, I’m your long-lost sister!]
—— [Her family really owns a mine. Mommy, is my kneeling posture proper?]
The haters: ???
‘That sparkling thing wasn’t a crystal but a pigeon blood ruby?’
…
“Do you like it?” Xiang Yi asked carefully.
Jiang Jiujiu looked up at the sky in joy but her tone was arrogant. “It’s alright, I can make do and wear it.”
After a few seconds, Xiang Yi still didn’t move and Jiang Jiujiu was puffing her cheeks up. “Help me put it on! I can’t reach!”
Xiang Yi smiled and put on the necklace for her. The pendant happened to be hanging in the middle of her collarbones, accentuating the fairness of her neck.
Jiang Jiujiu proudly glanced at the s.h.i.+ Sui, as if to say, “Look, I got a gift but you didn’t~”
To her surprise, the next instant…
s.h.i.+ Sui sighed gently in a pitiful, innocent and pretentiously vulnerable manner.
“Other children get gifts, when can I have mine~~”
