The live chat exploded with comments.
[Ugh, I'm so disgusted! Tang Tang treated her so well, and she doesn't even appreciate it. Since she's so ungrateful, she might as well go eat shit!]
[It's here! It's finally here!]
[I'm so excited that I'm about to be proven wrong!]
[Some people are going to eat shit.]
Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter.
[This imposter is so shameless, I'm ashamed for her.]
[Old Mr. Ouyang has come to protect his young benefactor.]
【Shi Sheng, go to hell!】
[It is recommended that Weibo permanently ban Shi Sheng's account!]
[...]
Almost instantly, the number of viewers in the live stream jumped from 50,000 to over 100,000.
Snap!
The banquet hall doors were opened at that moment.
Then, a figure with an air of otherworldly grace was walking towards them.
Mr. Ouyang was dressed in a long gown with Chinese knot buttons, with gray hair and beard, and a long string of emerald green jade beads around his neck, exuding the typical artist's demeanor.
Two assistants followed behind him.
Full of momentum.
Mr. Ouyang walked over here step by step.
When the crowd surrounding Jiang Ning and Tang An saw Mr. Ouyang approaching, they all made way for him.
Jiang Ning and Tang An stood there side by side.
Mr. Ouyang walked directly to the two of them, bowed respectfully, and said, "My dear benefactor of the Tang Dynasty, it has been half a year since we parted last summer. If it weren't for your help that day, I, Mr. Ouyang, would probably not be here today."
"I am deeply grateful for your life-saving grace. This is a birthday gift I specially prepared for you, a luminous pearl from the South China Sea. I hope my young benefactor from the Tang Dynasty will accept it with a smile!"
After saying this, Mr. Ouyang took the wooden box handed to him by his assistant behind him, and he just opened the lid of the box.
In an instant, a dazzling light poured out of the box!
"Wow!"
"My goodness, it really is a luminous pearl from the South China Sea! I had heard before that Mr. Ouyang had prepared a luminous pearl for Miss Tang, but I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true!"
"......"
A series of gasps of amazement rippled through the banquet hall.
The comments section was filled with exclamations of amazement.
[It's a luminous pearl! I never thought I'd be enjoying such a high-class meal and be able to watch such a sophisticated live stream.]
[The imposter should kneel down, eat shit, and apologize to Tang Tang.]
[I suppose only our Tang Tang could command such respect from Mr. Ouyang?]
【Tang Tang is awesome!】
[Some people must be really envious of our Tang Tang right now, right?]
[It's not envy, it's embarrassment. If I were Shi Sheng, I'd kill myself right now.]
Luminous pearls are extremely rare items.
It's priceless.
Its rarity is comparable to the East Sea mermaid pearl that the Si family gave to Jiang Ning!
No one expected that Mr. Ouyang would present a pearl from the East China Sea.
Even Tang An hadn't expected this.
Tang An felt incredibly excited; his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.
Besides excitement, I felt mostly proud.
Very proud.
She is now Mr. Ouyang's savior.
Where is Jiang Ning?
He's just a clown.
Tang An first turned to look at Jiang Ning, expecting to see a panicked Jiang Ning.
Unexpected.
Jiang Ning remained calm and composed, as if nothing could bother her anymore.
Oh!
Tang An sneered inwardly.
A young village girl.
She's quite the actress!
Just wait and see.
The village girl is about to be completely disgraced!
Tang An smiled slightly, stepped forward, walked to Mr. Ouyang, and accepted the wooden box from him with both hands. He spoke gently, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ouyang. Since you have come all this way to celebrate my birthday, I will gladly accept your offer!"
Tang An deliberately emphasized the word "junior" to highlight her special place in Mr. Ouyang's heart.
Moreover, this is a luminous pearl from the South China Sea!
Although she didn't have the same trump cards as the Si family, Old Master Ouyang's connections were in no way inferior to those of the Si family!
Unexpectedly, just as Tang An's hands were about to touch the wooden box, Old Mr. Ouyang suddenly withdrew the box, his expression changing slightly.
Tang An's hands were suspended in mid-air, unsure whether to put them down or continue trying to retrieve the wooden box.
It was a little awkward.
Tang An was completely stunned.
What is Mr. Ouyang doing?
The onlookers began to discuss it amongst themselves.
What's going on?
"Could it be that Elder Mr. Ouyang no longer wants to give away the South China Sea luminous pearl?"
"Oh! I see, Mr. Ouyang must have an even more precious gift for Miss Tang!"
Hearing this, Tang An became even more excited. The embarrassment on his face disappeared instantly. He looked up at Mr. Ouyang and then said, "Mr. Ouyang, although I am your savior, the South China Sea Pearl you gave me is already very precious. As the saying goes, it is a small gift but a great sentiment. Even if you gave me a goose feather, I would still find it extremely precious."
Upon hearing Tang An's words, everyone in the banquet hall showed expressions of understanding.
The viewers in the live chat also realized what was happening.
[So it turns out that Mr. Ouyang wanted to give Tangtang something even more precious, but our Tangtang isn't the kind of person who craves vanity.]
I think Mr. Ouyang is about to slap Shi Sheng in the face any second now!
[What is Shi Sheng still standing there for? What an embarrassing thing!]
[...]
Mr. Ouyang looked at Tang An, his smile vanished instantly, and his expression became very serious. "Who are you? No one is qualified to take the South China Sea Pearl except for my savior, Sean."
Tang An smiled and said, "Mr. Ouyang, are you joking with me? I am Tang An, your savior!"
“No, you are not my savior,” Mr. Ouyang said, walking up to Jiang Ning. “The person who saved me that day was this young lady!”
Although he was old, he was not confused, and his eyesight was still good. He could recognize his little benefactor at a glance.
As if he had just realized something, Mr. Ouyang looked at Tang An, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Oh! I know, you must be N, the one who impersonated my little benefactor on Weibo, right?"
Tang An's face turned deathly pale!
