With a projector, the true appearance of the gift was also reflected on the wall, and after a moment of silence, the whole room began to discuss it.
"What did they give us? A rock?"
Some speculated, "...it must be ore, right?"
Someone asserted, "Are you blind? It's obviously just a piece of ore!"
"But even if it's ore, it shouldn't be this... ugly, right? Based on my years of experience gambling on rough stones, what good stuff can you expect to get from this?"
"Yeah, it's really ugly, but so what if it yields 'good stuff'? Everyone knows that ore isn't worth much, and it's not a rare item. Tch, and she calls herself 'sister'? Jiang Ziqi is still Jiang Ziqi. Even as the young lady of the city lord's mansion, she can't shake off her stingy and shabby way of doing things!" This was alumnus number one.
Alumnus #2: "I'm not talking about me, but is Jiang Ziqi really the young lady of the City Lord's Mansion? Didn't we follow her back then? Could a young lady live in such a shabby little place as hers?"
Alumnus No. 3: "Now that you mention it, I also find it strange. We all know Jiang Ziqi is poor, and she's still so poor in the City Lord's Mansion. Is she really a rich girl?"
"Don't talk nonsense, okay? The city lord just acknowledged her identity!" This person wasn't an alumnus.
"But……"
Not an alumnus: "Shut up, if you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"
"Hey, what are you afraid of? We're so far away we can't hear you. But Jiang Ziqi looks so much like the little princess, she must be her older sister. So Jiang Ziqi is the city lord's... illegitimate daughter?"
"An illegitimate daughter?!"
"No way, oh my god..."
"But it's very possible, right? I already said she lives in a slum, didn't I?"
Those who aren't alumni want to die? These junior students still studying at Star Academy probably haven't experienced the harsh realities of society yet! They dare to say anything reckless!
...
Unlike the others who were dismissive and pessimistic, Fu Anya was overjoyed. "Sister, what is this?"
Someone answered for Jiang Ziqi, "Little princess, this is raw ore!"
His tone was amused.
Fu Xingbai was furious. Had he not given her any money to spend? He brought out this thing, but on the surface, he still had to maintain the demeanor of a city lord.
Zheng Ruofen scoffed inwardly. Illegitimate daughters are just not presentable; is this all they give her daughter? It's a wonder Ya Ya treats her so well. Her silly daughter, how come she likes this good-for-nothing so much!
Amidst a chorus of skeptical glances, Jiang Ziqi calmly nodded, "This is raw mineral material, um... it's the purple you like."
She also asked Fu Anya, "Is it big enough?"
Fu Anya smiled broadly, "Enough!"
Do you like it?
"like!"
The conversation between the two sisters left everyone confused. The little princess probably only said she liked them because they were her older sister! Who in their right mind would like minerals? What can minerals do? At least you need energy stones to get started, right?
After Fu Anya finished saying she liked it, she carefully ordered someone to take the ore box back to her room and put it away. She reminded them twice more before she was satisfied.
Fu Xingbai spoke up, "That's enough, let's begin what happens next."
He wanted to end this embarrassing gift-giving situation as soon as possible!
Zheng Ruofen immediately forgot her anger. She had originally planned to announce the matter later in the banquet, precisely because she didn't want Fu Ziqi to steal Ya Ya's thunder. But Ya Ya had ruined her entire plan. Fortunately, that wretched girl Fu Ziqi was incredibly stupid, slapping herself in the face. But now it was all right; once she was married off, no one could take Ya Ya's things from her!
