Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 509: Here Comes the Grand Face-Slapping Wife-Defending Scene (Part 5)

Even Mrs. Gong was curious: "Oh, there’s actually the cover of Xing He’s book, where did you get it from?"Mrs. Nalan was even more delighted: "Is it from Xing He? Really? Let me see, I love gifts like this the most! A signed book from Xing He is hard to come by, let alone a book cover, Ruyi, isn’t this very expensive?"

Even with Mrs. Gong’s precious "Emperor’s Portrait", Mrs. Nalan only gave an official thank you, nothing like the genuine excitement she showed now.

Jun Ruyi felt she really bought the right thing.

Five million, not expensive at all.

She modestly said, "I specifically found this for Mrs. Nalan at the auction, as long as Mrs. Nalan likes it, it’s not expensive."

However, someone quickly found it on the auction website: "It was just bought a few days ago at the Imperial Auction’s famous calligraphy and painting session for five million. Miss Jun is really amazing."

The room was filled with admiration.

Qin Wenrou, sitting at the last table, looked on enviously, gazing at Jun Ruyi as if she were a high and majestic princess.

If only she had such an amazing father too.

Forget about Lan Yingjun, even Mr. Nalan would be within reach.

It’s just that Mrs. Qin couldn’t provide her with better family conditions, nor elevate her status, delaying her future, sigh.

Now she could only follow Duanmu Heiying to learn the piano, hoping to make a name in the orchestra.

Amidst the praises, Jun Ruyi provocatively glanced at Qin Xin.

Very eager to know Qin Xin’s reaction at this moment.

Surely, she must be consumed by envy, like eating dirt, hehehe.

To her surprise, a casual glance revealed Qin Xin calmly sipping her soup, completely absorbed in enjoying her meal.

Jun Ruyi was utterly infuriated.

This petty, superficial Qin!

All she knows is to eat, eat, eat.

She doesn’t even open her eyes to see how my extravagant gift has overshadowed the entire room.

Success and pride, if not fully flaunted, suddenly diminish the satisfaction by ninety-nine percent.

Therefore, Jun Ruyi spoke up, deliberately addressing Qin Xin: "I wonder what astonishing gift Miss Qin has brought? All the gifts have been introduced, but it seems like you haven’t shown yours yet?"

Immediately, all eyes in the room shifted from that "Xing He" to Qin Xin.

Qin Xin leisurely sipped another small spoonful of soup.

She calmly looked up: "I haven’t had a chance to register the gift earlier, madam, let me give it to you now."

Her gift was still in the backseat of Nalan Ye Jue’s car.

Mrs. Nalan kindly said: "No rush, finish your soup first."

With an undisguised expression as if caring for her own child.

Seeing this made Jun Ruyi burn with envy again.

Hmph, madam, you’ll soon see Qin’s true nature; her gift is either something she can’t afford or definitely not as thoughtful as mine!

Just as Qin Xin stood up, looking towards Nalan Ye Jue, ready to find the car key to retrieve the gift,

Mrs. Gong suddenly questioned suspiciously during the banquet: "Why do I feel something is off about this piece? It’s not signed, is it authentic?"

Jun Ruyi quickly explained: "Yes, Mrs. Gong, the author Xing He is quite low-key, and Master Mu Yun, who inscribed it, is even more so, hence no signature."

Mrs. Gong pondered: "I still feel something is not right. I’m also a fan of Xing He and have seen his book cover. I can’t pinpoint what’s different, but it just feels off."

Mrs. Nalan examined it carefully: "What’s off about it?"

Jun Ruyi panicked: "Madam, ma’am, I bought this at the auction with real money, and I assure you on the reputation of the President Mansion, it’s definitely not fake."
