"Nianci has loved needlework since she was little. She used to make little clothes for dolls when she was young, and she made several boxes of them. Now she has finally found something she is interested in." The old lady was in a good mood.
Now that Gu Nianci has something to do, she no longer overthinks or complains. She lives a fulfilling life every day. The old lady didn't expect Gu Nianci to be a career woman; she just wanted her to do what she liked to pass the time.
"The cheongsam is so beautiful, it looks like it was designed by a professional designer. My grandma could go into design, she might even become famous!" Ye Qingqing joked.
Neither the old lady nor Sang Wanhua took it seriously, nor did Ye Qingqing, but none of them expected that their words tonight would come true.
"Go backstage and take a look. The later performances aren't very interesting." The old lady didn't like watching these kinds of performances to begin with. If it weren't for supporting Gu Nianci, she would rather have stayed home and watched "Plum Blossom Trilogy," where the male lead's roaring was quite entertaining.
Ye Qingqing didn't want to watch either. Although the older women performed very hard and some of them walked quite well, they couldn't compare to professional models. Moreover, some of the old ladies had such a peculiar style that they walked like they were doing a Yangko dance, which made her eyes cramp.
Not to brag, but among all these old ladies, her grandmother was still the most beautiful, truly a flower among flowers.
The group walked towards the backstage together, but Xiaotong, Tiantian, and Wuchen refused to go. They stayed to watch the performance and found it quite interesting.
There were quite a few people backstage, mostly elderly women preparing for their performances. Some were putting on makeup, some were changing clothes, and some had already finished performing. Gu Nianci and the others were all there, but things didn't seem very harmonious.
“I bought this heart-shaped necklace in Hong Kong this summer. Oh my... the gold jewelry there is really cheap, much cheaper than here, and there are many more styles. I bought one of each style so I can wear them in rotation.”
A slightly shrill voice caught everyone's attention, full of boasting, along with several other sycophantic voices.
"Your daughter is so filial and successful. Sister Wang, you are so lucky to have such successful children."
"Sister Wang's eldest son is a doctor, her second son is a lawyer, her eldest daughter is a teacher, and her youngest daughter is also a doctor. They are all successful and filial. I'm so envious."
...
The flattering voices made the old lady, Sister Wang, even more smug. "I'm not particularly successful, just a little better than the average person. The main thing is that my children dote on me and let me buy whatever I want, telling me not to be stingy with money. Actually, I can't even spend all of my retirement pension, and my four children each give me five hundred a month. How could I possibly spend it all..."
“Oh dear, five hundred each, that’s two thousand in total. My retirement pension is less than a thousand.”
"No wonder Sister Wang lives such a carefree life, traveling all over the country and even going to Hong Kong to broaden her horizons."
A barrage of compliments poured in, and Ye Qingqing immediately guessed that this "Sister Wang" must be the "old hen" the old lady had mentioned last time. After returning from her trip to Hong Kong, she was practically flying high.
"Nianci, why don't you wear any jewelry when you perform on stage? It's too plain." Sister Wang couldn't resist teasing Gu Nianci.
This annoying guy who stole her title of "flower".
He looks shabby and I heard he only has one son. He must be a good-for-nothing, otherwise why would he live such a stingy life, unable to even afford a gold earring, and always wearing clothes he makes himself? He probably can't afford clothes from the mall!
Those men must be blind to have fallen for this nasty guy.
