Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 886

True or False Heiress: Becoming a Vicious Supporting Female Character (49)

Chu Xiang continued, “Then why don’t you choose a couple of gifts later? Instead of waiting for the right time, it’s better to seize the opportunity. Giving gifts doesn’t require picking a specific day. As a guest like me, it’s essential to bring gifts as a matter of courtesy. How about you? The gifts you give will surely make your parents extremely happy. Why not give it a try?”

The driver, Xiao Zhang, pricked up his ears and pretended to casually glance at Shao Yan through the rearview mirror. He saw Shao Yan nodding. Xiao Zhang’s heart raced with excitement. Miss Chu was impressive! She actually convinced the Young Master to give gifts to his father and mother. The happiness of his parents would be beyond words. They might even faint from joy!

When the car arrived at the mall, Xiao Zhang took the opportunity to send a WeChat message to the housekeeper, informing him of the good news. Then he followed closely behind the two of them, ready to help carry their bags later and provide real-time updates on the situation.

Chu Xiang was adept at the art of gift-giving, and social etiquette never posed a challenge for her. Unconsciously, it seemed like she had begun to embrace the world and no longer treated her little realm as a game, keeping herself detached from the rest of the world.

Sometimes, immersing oneself in the present identity could make decades of life more colorful and fulfilling, and she quite enjoyed it.

Without any reason, the visitation gift shouldn’t be too extravagant. However, since the Shao couple had been so kind to her, she couldn’t just give something ordinary. Chu Xiang chose a silk scarf worth 60,000 yuan for Mrs. Shao, with a lovely pattern that complemented her temperament.

“I’m sorry, Miss, your card has been declined.”

Chu Xiang was momentarily taken aback upon hearing the salesperson’s words. A card with a total of only 200,000 yuan was nothing worth mentioning for the Chu family. She thought that the family had forgotten about the card altogether, but who would have expected it to be blocked!

Chu Xiang recalled how Mrs. Chu always mocked the original owner for being unsophisticated, which she found amusing. She wondered who was truly unsophisticated. The devil is in the details, and over the years, Mr. and Mrs. Chu had devoted all their thoughts and efforts to the company, but their refinement and cultivation fell short of what was expected of a wealthy family.

When has Chu Xiang ever been short of money? She was just about to retrieve her newly acquired card from her space when Shao Yan handed her his card, looking at her.

Chu Xiang wondered, “How can I use your money for the gift I’m giving your parents?”

Shao Yan remained motionless, insisting on giving her the card. Chu Xiang said, “Consider it a loan for now, and I’ll return it to you later.”

Chu Xiang didn’t think it was a big deal and naturally took the card from him to let the salesperson swipe it. Shao Yan’s expression relaxed, but when Chu Xiang handed the card back to him, he pursed his lips and didn’t want it anymore. Chu Xiang forcibly stuffed the card into his hand and smiled, saying, “Don’t casually give your card to others. Even if you give it to someone, they won’t accept it casually. Let’s go, buy the other gifts as well.”

Then Chu Xiang saw Shao Yan take out his phone to type a message. She also took out her phone, thinking that Shao Yan wanted to persuade her to keep the card. But to her surprise, Shao Yan’s message read: [Not ‘your parents,’ it’s Dad Shao and Mommy Shao.]

Oh, so he cares about that. She replied with a smile, [Alright, Dad Shao and Mommy Shao, it sounds very affectionate. Let’s go!]

Shao Yan and Chu Xiang walked side by side, while Xiao Zhang helped carry the bags and quickly reported the situation from behind.

Dad Shao and Mommy Shao had been waiting at home. Upon hearing that Chu Xiang had bought such formal visitation gifts and even asked their son to buy one, they had even changed into new clothes. They instructed the housekeeper to secretly capture the process of presenting the gifts. Little did they know that before the gifts were fully purchased, they received the news that Chu Xiang’s card had been frozen.

The Shao couple exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat perplexed. Chu Xiang was so lively and adorable, and they both wished they had a daughter like her. Why did the Chu family freeze her card without any concern or inquiry? What kind of thinking was that? Were they out of their minds?

Moreover, as a girl, if Chu Xiang didn’t go while staying at school and her card was frozen, what would she use?

After discussing it, they immediately put away the carefully prepared gifts and prepared two new cards.

When it comes to gift-giving, it has to hit the mark. Chu Xiang was short of money, so giving money would definitely be the right choice!

Chu Xiang bought the gifts and let Shao Yan choose a gift as well. Initially, Shao Yan kept looking at her, clearly wanting her help in choosing. However, she refused this time and told him that the most important thing when giving gifts to parents was the heartfelt intention. It wouldn’t be meaningful if someone else helped choose. It must be personally selected.

After hearing Chu Xiang’s words from Xiao Zhang, the Shao couple were deeply moved! If it weren’t for Chu Xiang, where would they receive the gifts from their son? If it weren’t for her “teaching,” how would their son know that he should personally select the gifts?

Mr. Shao couldn’t sit still and paced back and forth near the sofa. Then she briskly walked towards the kitchen, saying she wanted to prepare an extra dish, to personally cook it for when the kids returned. Mr. Shao could also prepare two or three dishes. He was also enthusiastic and happy. After all, he wanted to personally cook too.

Shao Yan and Chu Xiang arrived at the Shao residence with the gifts. The Shao couple’s gaze immediately focused on the bag in Xiao Zhang’s hand. However, they were both individuals who had experienced many storms in life, so they quickly looked at Chu Xiang, smiling and welcoming her.

“Xiangxiang, come inside quickly. Xiao Yan has been looking forward to your visit. He doesn’t have any other friends, so he values you a lot. We’ve finally waited for your arrival. Stay here this weekend and don’t go back,” Mrs. Shao said, reaching out to hold Chu Xiang, her eyes filled with affection.
