The Vicious Supporting Female Character And The White Lotus Female Lead

ut money, isn't it just a number? If you have more, just spend more and if you have less, just spend less.

    Recently, Nie Zhen'er hasn't kept silently tracking like she did at the beginning.
She also wasn’t as opposed to Luan Qing Xiao spending money on her.

    The two people can be said to be influencing each other.

    Since Nie Zhen'er was doing hair and makeup inside, Luan Qing Xiao didn’t wait outside.
After a while, a staff member came to lead her in.

    Recently, this beauty chain agency was doing a sale of buy one get one free.
Luan Qing Xiao originally had put on light makeup at home, but if it was free, she wasn’t the one to reject it.

    By the time both of them were finished, it was already two hours later.

    They left the house at eight thirty.
Right now, it is eleven o'clock and it was a half an hour drive to Luan Qing Xiao's parents' house.

    After Nie Zhen'er came out and saw Luan Qing Xiao, there was no time for her to ask her whether she was beautiful or not.
She directly pulled her out, “We only have half an hour and I still don't know what to buy Uncle and Auntie.”

    Fortunately, there’s a large shopping mall next to them, so they don't need to spend time going there.

    Luan Qing Xiao said, “Don't worry, our family has lunch late.
It would be fine if we got there at twelve thirty.”

    “It wouldn’t be good to get right there on the point.” If she didn't like Luan Qing Xiao and treated herself as a contract girlfriend, she would never care about the time so much.

    But she couldn’t not care now.
Who let her like Luan Qing Xiao?

    When the two arrived at the large shopping mall next to them, Nie Zhen'er couldn't make up her mind and asked Luan Qing Xiao, “Qing Xiao, please help me think about what Uncle and Auntie would like.”

    Luan Qing Xiao didn't have the original owner’s memories, how can she know what her parents liked?

    Yet looking at Nie Zhen'er's anxious appearance, she still tried to remember whether Father Luan and Mother Luan revealed any preference the last time when she went home.

    “Any gifts are fine.
There’s nowhere to buy the ones that my parents like here.” Last time she went home, Mother Luan praised the emerald earrings on her ears and Father Luan opened a bottle of red wine, worth several thousand.

    “All right then.” Nie Zhen'er thought about it.
She could guess she might not be able to buy the gifts Luan Qing Xiao's parents liked with her current savings.
Luan Qing Xiao's statement just now was only to save her face.

    Nie Zhen'er might not be good at anything else, but she was the best at studying.
Last month, she asked Fang Xiao Man to introduce her to a part-time job.
When there’s no class, she’ll tutor  middle school students who were on vacation for five hundred yuans an hour.

    Nie Zhen'er taught for about a month and earned almost thirty thousand yuans.

    Initially, she intended to save up to two hundred thousand yuans and return it to Luan Qing Xiao, but the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes.

    There has to be sacrifices made.
If they’re going to meet the parents, she’ll have to take the parents down first.

    In the end, Nie Zhen'er picked out a set of high-end cosmetics for Mother Luan at the counter downstairs and bought a set of tea kit for Father Luan.

    When Luan Qing Xiao was about to pay, she was stopped by Nie Zhen'er.
She generously took out the card from her bag and swiped it.

    Luan Qing Xiao exclaimed, “Wow! You’re so awesome, you only worked part-time for a month and already have earned thirty thousand yuan?”

    Nie Zhen'er beamed, “Fortunately I listened to you and went to college, knowledge is money.”

    “After you graduate, you can find me to invest in an education counseling institution.
With you, this beautiful and smart billboard, you’ll definitely not be able to lose money.”

    Luan Qing Xiao said while she took the two gifts from Nie Zhen'er.

    Nie Zhen'er replied, “Okay, if we earn any money let's split the money evenly.” In fact, it would be fine to give it all to Luan Qing Xiao, but Nie Zhen'er has a little selfish wish.
She has to save up her own  dowry, so she can't give it all to Luan Qing Xiao.

    It took Nie Zhen'er some time to pick out gifts.
By the time the two arrived at Luan Qing Xiao's parents' house, it was already twelve ten.

    Luan Qing Xiao parked the car in front of the villa and the two walked to the door.
Luan Qing Xiao glanced at Nie Zhen'er who was a little nervous, squeezing her hand, before reaching out to press the doorbell.

    “Ding Dong!”

    “Coming, coming.” Luan Qing Xiao could tell it was the maid’s voice.

    Sure enough, after a few seconds, the door opened, revealing the smiling face of the family maid.

    The maid listened to Mother Luan for several days about Luan Qing Xiao's bringing her partner, so she opened the door with a smiling face but was stunned.

    Luan Qing Xiao only had a particularly pure and beautiful girl next to her.
Where was the partner she was talking about?

    The maid was afraid that Mother Luan would be disappointed.
Therefore she whispered to Luan Qing Xiao at the door, “Qing Xiao, isn't your partner coming today? Your mother has been looking forward to it for so many days.”

    Luan Qing Xiao smiled and hugged Nie Zhen'er's shoulders, “Isn't my partner right here?”

    “This beautiful lady is your partner?” The maid was surprised.

    Luan Qing Xiao nodded, “Yes.”

    At this time, the anxious Mother Luan who was waiting in the living room asked, “Was that Qing Xiao arriving?”

    The maid could no longer be bothered with being surprised and quickly let the two in.
Instead, she was worried that Mother Luan would be angry.

    Although same-sex marriage has been legal for more than a decade, few people of the older generation could accept that their children were homosexual.

    Especially with how often Mother Luan had mentioned to the maid about her desire for a grandchild.

    The maid anxiously followed Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er into the living room.
Thinking that she shouldn’t join in this kind of family business, she hid in the kitchen.

    Once Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er approached the living room, they saw Mother Luan sitting on the sofa.

    She wore a Cheongsam today, making her seem gentle and generous.

    When Nie Zhen'er walked over to Mother Luan and greeted her, Mother Luan praised Nie Zhen'er.

    She originally wanted to ask Luan Qing Xiao why her partner didn't come, but it wasn’t easy to directly ask in front of a guest who came to their home for the first time.
