Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 508: The Grand Face-Slapping Wife-Defending Scene (Part 4)

This Mrs. Gong is the former First Lady, surname Yun, name Qiao, once a national goddess-level figure, her actions were free and unconventional.When she said she was hanging around for fun, it really was just for fun.

The pride wasn’t put on, it was genuine. Pride.

Everyone admired her.

Even Jun Ruyi had to bow her head.

However, apart from the incomparable Mrs. Gong, her gift was certainly the most valuable in the room.

Sure enough, the gifts from the following wealthy wives were more conventional, either jewelry, expensive supplements, or some exotic little novelties gathered from all around.

Mrs. Nalan thanked everyone politely.

But obviously, these gifts didn’t touch her heart.

Especially when Lan Yingjun and Qin Wenrou’s gifts were unveiled, everyone almost burst into laughter.

Lan Yingjun actually gifted a large box of vitamin supplements from his company, emblazoned with a big logo, to Mrs. Nalan as a birthday gift.

He even explained, "Madam, these are the best vitamin supplements on the market, my company just negotiated a collaboration with overseas companies, just a step away from large-scale investment to expand production."

He thought such an introduction was subtle and appropriate, little did he know, which of the ladies present were not refined foxes from a thousand years?

Such a small scheme of promoting one’s company under the guise of gift-giving, trying to solicit investments or sponsorships on the spot, how could they not notice?

Though unspoken, the contempt in everyone’s hearts was overwhelming.

In such an occasion, such behavior was too low.

Only Mrs. Gong was straightforward, blinking her eyes: "Oh, young man, your advertisement is too obvious, don’t you have to pay Mrs. Nalan an advertising fee?"

Embarrassed, Lan Yingjun wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Qin Wenrou, sitting next to him, was also a bit unsettled.

Jun Ruyi secretly laughed, great, since Mrs. Nalan as the host wouldn’t comment, with a straightforward guest like Mrs. Gong around, there was no worry her gift won’t be met with applause, nor fear that Qin Xin’s shabby gift would be just as embarrassing as Lan Yingjun’s!

She sat at her seat, not even having the heart to drink her soup, waiting eagerly for her gift to be presented.

Finally, it was her turn!

Perhaps her gift was too numerous and too large, the butler introduced her last.

First, they opened two boxes, presenting a pair of cloisonné vases: "This is President Jun’s gift to Mrs. Nalan, wishing the couple a lifetime of peace."

Valuable but not extravagant, very appropriate.

After all, the current President, too luxurious a gift would not seem too honest.

Unlike Mrs. Gong, who could afford to be whimsical and casual.

Then they opened a cylindrical gift box, taking out a roll of gold foil paper like a scroll: "This is Miss Jun’s personal gift to Mrs. Nalan."

Everyone looked over curiously.

Earlier, Mrs. Gong gifted a Tang Dynasty "Emperor Figure," now Miss Jun’s artwork unknown.

Will it be overshadowed?

This was simply a PK between the former First Lady and the current First Daughter,

under the scrutiny of all eyes.

The scroll slowly unfolded.

Everyone let out a "Wow——!"

"Xinghe!"

"Is it the Xinghe we know?"

"The author Shen Bixue is making a movie with?"

"Such an elegant signature!"

There were many noblewomen among Xinghe’s fans.

Even those present who weren’t fans had heard something about this low-key and celestial author.

Seeing this calligraphy at the moment, they couldn’t help but engage in lively discussion.
