Chapter 132 A Wonderful Gift
Yu Wanqing didn't expect Nie Yao to give her this gift. Seeing everyone mocking the gift, she smiled faintly and said, "It's very vivid. Thank you..."
She hadn't originally expected Nie Yao to give her any expensive gifts, so she wasn't disappointed.
Seeing everyone mocking her gift, Nie Yao finally explained, "Well, although this is our first meeting, you're from my mother's side of the family, my cousin. So I specially asked a paper-cutting master of intangible cultural heritage to customize this paper-cut..."
"What did you say? A paper-cutting master who is an intangible cultural heritage?" Yu Wanqing was stunned and looked at Nie Yao in surprise. "Did you really ask that master to customize it? I heard that masters like them only receive a few orders a year!"
"Yes, he agreed because we have some friendship. I hope you like it!" Nie Yao nodded and smiled faintly.
"I like you very much, Nie Yao, you are so amazing..." Yu Wanqing began to look at her cousin with admiration. She had just been adopted by the Nie family, but she had such a talent that she could even invite a master of paper-cutting, an intangible cultural heritage!
The people who had been mocking Nie Yao's cheap gift stared in disbelief. Some people who didn't understand this couldn't help but whispered, "Intangible cultural heritage, are you bragging? Is it really that great?"
"Don't say that. It's definitely better than the big brand we gave you. Didn't you see Sister Wanqing's smile of surprise and joy?"
"It might be a fake, or a replica. I don't believe she can really hire that master..."
Nie Jinxi didn't expect Nie Yao to be so tough. She frowned subconsciously and didn't even bother to stop her best friend from saying such ignorant words!
Upon hearing their doubts, Nie Yao jokingly said, "Do you think this intangible cultural heritage, paper-cutting, is like a big-name brand bag on the market that can be copied in large quantities? If it's really that amazing, why don't you find me a few people who can copy it?"
These words left Nie Jinxi's best friends speechless, and their smiles became a little stiff.
Yu Wanqing also looked at the customers who questioned the fake goods with some disgust, and asked the maid to carefully put them away and put them back in her study.
With Nie Yao's outstanding gift, Nie Jinxi's carefully prepared custom-made item seemed insignificant...
But Yu Wanqing had always been nice to Nie Jinxi, so she didn't take it too seriously. She smiled and thanked him, put away the gifts, and continued to socialize with everyone while holding the champagne.
As the sky gradually darkened, the lights by the swimming pool came on, and many guests who came to the party began to change into swimsuits and play in the pool.
"Why don't you change into your swimsuit and go in the water to play?" Seeing Nie Yao standing aside just watching quietly but not joining in, Yu Wanqing smiled and handed her a glass of champagne.
"No..." Nie Yao refused with a faint smile.
"Didn't you bring a swimsuit?" Yu Wanqing smiled and suggested, "I have a new swimsuit. Go to my room and change into one. Then we can go play together..."
"Thank you, cousin. I'll just forget it..."
Nie Yao didn't like this kind of carnival atmosphere, especially since some of these men and women were so unscrupulous, joking and playing around with water guns and champagne that it was hard to tell who was whose partner...
She even considered leaving early.
