Chapter 122 The Gifts from Gu Nian
Wang Yalan immediately stopped talking.
It was because she knew only the names of the dead would be engraved on gravestones.
Zhou Chen was irritated by Gu Nian. "You grew up in the countryside, but you should be polite to your elders. Learn etiquette from your elder sister."
Zhou Liujing looked up at Gu Nian. "I will be a good teacher."
She thought of teaching Gu Nian with a pointer or a ruler!
She could justifiably crack Gu Nian on the hand with a ruler if Gu Nian wasn't well-behaved!
Gu Nian chuckled, "Should I learn how to seduce my brother-in-law from Zhou Liujing? Or learn how to steal gems? Or learn how to speak ill of others in toilets?"
"You...you..."
Zhou Liujing was lost for words with fury.
Gu Nian narrowed her eyes. "Alright, I would try to be polite."
"I came back home with lots of gifts for you. You will definitely be moved to tears."
Gu Nian clapped her hands as she said.
Then her driver and bodyguards came in. They brought large gifts, each of which was covered with a piece of cloth.
The gifts looked mysterious.
Zhou Chen's face softened when he saw the gifts. "No matter what, I'm your father. What I do and say is for your sake."
Wang Yalan looked down on the gifts brought by Gu Nian. She thought Gu Nian, as a country girl, had a bad taste in choosing gifts.
But she would give those gifts to people who were poorer than herself. In this way, she could show off her wealth.
Wang Yalan was satisfied and said, "Now you're talking. I will find a good spouse for you."
Gu Nian said with a smile, "You can open the gifts now."
Her driver and bodyguards put the gifts one by one in front of Zhou Chen, Wang Yalan, and Zhou Liujing.
Zhou Liujing looked at the gift in front of her.
She looked at Gu Nian in disbelief, "Did you also buy me a gift?"
Gu Nian nodded. "Of course. I'm going to live here, so we must have a good relationship."
"Just forget what happened yesterday. Don't be angry. Let's get along well with each other."
Zhou Liujing was pleased that Gu Nian tried to be reconciled with her.
"Let me unwrap the gift first. After that, I will consider your advice."
Zhou Liujing and her parents opened the presents without anticipation.
When Zhou Chen saw the present from Gu Nian was a clock, displeasure was written all over his face.
Giving a clock as a gift was considered inauspicious. It was because clocks were related to death and funerals.
Wang Yalan got a black-and-white portrait that had been framed. Her face turned pale and she screamed with fright.
The framed black-and-white photo...
This kind of photo would be prepared for the deceased.
As soon as Zhou Liujing opened the present, a centipede climbed onto her hand from the gift box.
She screamed out in terror.
The centipede made her jump and she kept swinging her hands to get rid of it.
She was so scared that she fell to the ground. Then there was a sharp crack.
Zhou Liujing let out screams of pain.
She fractured her hands.
Gu Nian heard Zhou Liujing's bones breaking. She knew it must be painful.
But Zhou Liujing deserved it!
Gu Nian gloated over Zhou Liujing's suffering.
Zhou Chen smacked his hand down onto the table. "Gu Nian, what do you mean?"
Gu Nian blinked innocently. "I just want to be good to you. Is there anything wrong with buying you gifts?"
Zhou Chen trembled angrily. "How dared you give me a clock, your mother a black-and-white portrait, and your elder sister a centipede?"
Gu Nian asked innocently, "As your daughter, is there anything wrong with attending your funeral? I just hope you can keep track of time."
"Wang Yalan is so thick-skinned, so I took a black-and-white photo of her. In this way, I can record her annoying face forever."
"The centipede doesn't bite. I also heard that its slime can remove scars and make one more beautiful. So it's to Zhou Liujing's benefit."
While speaking, Gu Nian bent over and stretched out her hand toward the centipede.
The centipede had been thrown to the ground by Zhou Liujing. It crawled into Gu Nian's hand.
The centipede lay on Gu Nian's hand. It seemed to be aggrieved and complained, "I feel pain after being thrown to the ground."
"Look, it doesn't bite for real."
Gu Nian smiled and showed the centipede in front of Wang Yalan. Wang Yalan screamed with fear and immediately stepped back.
Then she showed the centipede to Zhou Chen. He was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.
"Take it away!"
They wondered why Gu Nian didn't fear the centipede as a woman.
Anyway, they had never seen a woman who directly held a centipede in her hands!
Gu Nian blinked innocently and said, "Since you don't like the centipede, try the food I brought you."
