To her, the gift Gu Qingqing gave was more meaningful than the gold and silver jewelry given by vulgar people, and she liked it very much.

"What? It's a talisman?" An Susu was surprised to see a talisman in the box. She covered her mouth and dared not speak again, feeling that she had done something wrong.

An uproar erupted from the surrounding crowd.

No one could believe that the gift was actually a worthless amulet. How dare Gu Qingqing try to fool Zhai Wan'er with something like this? Was she being audacious? Was she deliberately provoking the Zhai family?

Or is she just naive and stupid?

"Qingqing, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. How could you give me a talisman?"

"..." Gu Qingqing hated An Susu so much that she really wanted to sew her mouth shut with a needle and thread.

"This amulet has been blessed by a holy monk; it's guaranteed to protect you." With a casual reply, she used the mysterious holy monk as a shield.

"I really like the gift you gave me, Gu Qingqing. Thank you. This is the best and most meaningful gift I received tonight." Zhai Wan'er smiled and put the amulet around her neck.

She showed everyone through her actions that she truly loved Gu Qingqing's gift, and also told those who were so foul-mouthed to stop talking nonsense. She vowed never to let anyone who dared to bully Gu Qingqing get away with it.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Awkward……

Speechless...

They had no idea whether Zhai Wan'er was possessed by an evil spirit. She didn't like jewelry at all, but instead preferred a talisman, which she wore on her body.

"What's wrong, Wan'er?" A young man and a woman walked over; it was Zhai Shaolin and Dong Shu.

"Big brother, Sister Dong. Look at my amulet, isn't it meaningful?" Zhai Wan'er really liked the amulet she had just received and showed it off to Zhai Shaolin and Dong Shu.

Gu Qingqing was speechless. Even if her protective charm was excellent, she shouldn't flaunt it like that. Zhai Wan'er was practically a walking hate-inducing machine; she was going to be disliked by many people.

"Amulet?" Dong Shu glanced at the amulet around Zhai Wan'er's neck and found it very strange. It was the first time she had ever seen something that only appeared in period dramas.

Following Zhai Wan'er's gaze, she saw Gu Qingqing, whom she had met a few days ago.

"It's you, Qingqing. Welcome to Wan'er's birthday party."

"Sister Dong, it's so nice to see you again. I'm late, please don't mind." Gu Qingqing said with a smile.

She still liked Dong Shu very much. Although they had only met once and chatted for half an hour, she felt that Dong Shu was a pretty good person and not like the vicious second female lead in the original book. However, anyone would turn evil if their lover was taken away by another woman!

"You're not late, just in time. You gave me the amulet, right? It's a wonderful gift, I love it, it's very meaningful." Dong Shu also liked Gu Qingqing quite a bit; she was straightforward and honest, but she hadn't expected her gift to be as interesting as Gu Qingqing herself.

“Qingqing, you know so many people.” An Susu interrupted Gu Qingqing and Dong Shu’s conversation.

"Hehehe... I know a lot of people, you just don't know it." Gu Qingqing deliberately provoked An Susu. Who told her to be so restless all night, deliberately trying to get attention? If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. She still thinks she's a fool.

She moved her feet slightly away from An Susu.

An Susu was immediately speechless, her face turning pale and then red. Although she felt uncomfortable, she didn't dare to say anything more to contradict Gu Qingqing.

She bit her lower lip lightly, lowered her eyes, and looked like a pitiful little wife being bullied by her "wicked mother-in-law." "I'm sorry... Qingqing... it's my fault, I shouldn't have bothered you."

Gu Qingqing pretended not to hear, since An Susu's voice was very soft anyway. "Big brother, I'm thirsty."

"I'll go get you a drink, wait a moment." Gu Jin didn't notice anything unusual about An Susu; he only cared that his sister was thirsty and needed water.
