94: Chapter 94: Social Death Cos Unexpectedly 94: Chapter 94: Social Death Cos Unexpectedly Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi were clinging to the wall at the entrance of the alley, peering toward the Gu Family’s door.
“You think that woman couldn’t really be nuts enough to fall for my brother, do you?”
Gu Nanzhi was still worried, clearly looking like she didn’t want her own brother to have any good days ahead.
“Zhizhi, co on, tell the truth—can’t you just leave your brother alone?”
Gu Nanzhi looked at her suspiciously: “Aren’t you the sa?
Why are you asking ?”
Tang Chuxia: …
What a ss the original host has made!
Finally, when people ca out, Gu Nanzhi almost rushed over, ready to school the girl, but Tang Chuxia held her back: “Just save your worries, she clearly isn’t here for a matchmaking visit!”
Tang Chuxia’s words weren’t enough to convince Gu Nanzhi, who still wanted to dash over.
“Look closely at that woman’s clothes and the people with her.
You must be seeing things wrong this ti!”
Tang Chuxia kindly reminded her, and only then did Gu Nanzhi notice the woman was wearing an armband.
But what about her clothes?
Confused but curious, Tang Chuxia educated her: “What’s going on with you?
Why aren’t you observing carefully?
Look at her clothes, then look at her face.”
Gu Nanzhi took another serious look but still didn’t spot anything.
Tang Chuxia: …
Forget it, Gu Nanzhi clearly didn’t get the point she was trying to make, so she had to spell it out: “She must be in mourning.
People in mourning wouldn’t co for a matchmaking eting!”
Moreover, the woman’s dress was sewn with white cloth; she looked odd all over, although she was smiling, it seed rather forced.
Gu Nanzhi suddenly realized and slapped her forehead: “Then, wouldn’t the things I said to her just confuse her?”
Tang Chuxia nodded.
Wasn’t it obvious?
It was incredibly awkward.
She had only thought about sabotage, never considering the trouble it would bring.
Tang Chuxia pulled Gu Nanzhi along: “Tell , who was around when you spoke to her?”
Gu Nanzhi chuckled: “I couldn’t find you at that mont, got a hot head, charged in to expose my brother, got chased by my mom, and then bumped into you, so I dragged you to run away with !”
After speaking, she suddenly stared at Tang Chuxia with sharp, spirited eyes: “Wait, how co you were coming out of my brother’s room?
You couldn’t be…”
Guilty!
That’s how Tang Chuxia felt at this mont.
Seducing a best friend’s brother behind her back was, to be honest, a little dishonorable.
But…
She just enjoyed this kind of thrill!
She adjusted her mindset, ready to confess since it was inevitable.
“Were you the one who made a ss in my brother’s room?
Did you stuff snowballs into his blanket pretending he wet the bed?”
Suddenly, Gu Nanzhi shouted excitedly.
Tang Chuxia: …It looked like she had done it.
With a forced smile back online, she thought that there was no need to tell the truth; after all, Gu Nanzhi could fill in the blanks.
Seeing Tang Chuxia not saying a word, Gu Nanzhi imdiately assud she guessed right: “I knew it!
I wanted to do that for ages but never managed.
It had to be Xiaxia who could pull it off!”
She rubbed her hands excitedly: “I’m going back to pull off my brother’s blanket and hold it out.
It’s sure to embarrass him all the way to the Pacific Ocean!”
The Tang Chuxia beside her had already given up struggling.
With a face that said: Whatever makes you happy!
After all, it wasn’t her being accused of wetting the bed.
After sharing in Gu Nanzhi’s excitent, Tang Chuxia was finally allowed to return but then realized that she must have so kind of feud with beds—no sooner had she lain down than soone else ca to visit.
Compared to Gu Nanzhi’s rough dragging, this person wouldn’t just snatch her away directly but rather dropped a bomb that turned her into a tender little crisp person from inside out.
“Xiaxia, you made it onto the newspaper!”
A newspaper spread out in front of her, featuring a profile picture of herself.
Although her full face wasn’t visible, her na was there, and anyone who knew her would instantly recognize it.
Appearing in the newspaper wasn’t a big deal; it was just a rare occurrence.
But that profile picture was truly horrifying.
It wasn’t just that she was covered in dirt and gri, but she also managed to crush a rock in her hand with a completely expressionless face!
Anyone who didn’t know better might think she was a crazed killer.
Did the person who took this photo not consider the psychological impact it might have on the readers?
“Call sister!”
Tang Chuxia knocked on Zheng Daqing’s forehead and irritably covered the newspaper again, refusing to give it a second glance.
She feared her eyes wouldn’t be able to take it and would defect from her.
Zheng Daqing obviously hadn’t noticed the problem and excitedly said, “Sis, do you know?
After grandma saw the newspaper, she’s been going around with it, pointing at your photo and bragging that you’re her granddaughter!”
Tang Chuxia: …
Destroy it!
What kind of family mbers were these?
Couldn’t they consider her image for a mont?
Seeing Tang Chuxia was not only unhappy but looked utterly dejected, Zheng Daqing was puzzled, “Sis, aren’t you happy?”
Tang Chuxia forced a laugh and said, “Happy, I’m extrely happy!”
If her words hadn’t been squeezed out through clenched teeth, Zheng Daqing might not have realized sothing was amiss.
He grabbed the newspaper and took a couple of steps back, “Sis, I just ca to tell you the good news.
You can’t take it out on , okay?”
The usually oblivious Zheng Daqing finally caught on and realized why Tang Chuxia was feeling the way she did.
Backing up to the doorway, he clutched the doorfra and reminded her, “Grandpa said he’s going to cut your photo out and hang it in the living room, so that everyone who cos to our house can see your valiant spirit!”
Tang Chuxia let out a scream and dived headfirst into her blanket, flailing about.
Tang Chuxia had lived for two lifetis!
Who would have thought she’d one day die such a social death.
After floundering on the bed for a while, Tang Chuxia suddenly sat upright!
She had to destroy the evidence.
Upon checking her wallet, she discovered a depressing fact; she barely had any pocket money.
Not surprising, considering that while her family was well-off and her maternal grandparents were wealthy, in these tis, frugality was a virtue.
The family was well-clothed and fed, but that didn’t an the children were given a lot of spending money.
Her desire to buy and destroy all the newspapers was dead in the water.
Unable to destroy the source, she had no choice but to focus on destroying the copy at her grandparents’ house.
She went to find Zheng Daqing, ready to take a ride to her grandparents’ house to persuade them not to follow through with their plan.
But as soon as she stepped outside, many of the neighborhood aunties crowded around, all holding newspapers and asking her, “Xiaxia, is this you?”
Tang Chuxia shook her head vigorously, “No, impossible, it’s not !”
She was quite agitated, and the aunties instantly understood, “It must be you, otherwise, why would you deny it so quickly?
Child, there’s no need to be embarrassed about doing good deeds.
The neighborhood office is planning to hold a comndation ceremony for you!
We’ll let you know once the date is confird, okay?”
Auntie Hu from the neighborhood office ca over, beaming with a newspaper in hand, her face full of pride.
Tang Chuxia: …
Ahhh!!!
Destroy it!
It was bad enough to be embarrassed at ho, but to be publicly executed like this, just how did they intend to watch her die a social death?
