Chapter 687: Its Too Expensive
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi- Bo Studio
Su Qing scrutinized the gift. It shouldnt be expensive, right? It looks like the diamond Big Sister mentioned, but its made of plastic. It shouldnt be a problem.
Su Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and playfully nudged Su Qing. Second Sister, your cla.s.smate seems like a good person. Hes very humble and polite.
What are you talking about? Su Qing rolled her eyes at Su Xiu. Dont talk nonsense. Its obvious that were not from the same world. She was well aware of her social standing.
Alright then! Su Xiu sighed and sounded a bit indignant. Then why did he come looking for you? Such a good cla.s.smate? Were you close to him in school? I heard him say that he was a bit chubbier back then. At that time, everyone despised him, and no one was willing to play with him. Only you befriended him, so he always remembered it in his heart and wanted to repay you.
Su Qing was shocked. No way? Why cant I recall anything about it?
Perhaps time has pa.s.sed.
That made sense.
Oh, let me have a look at the gift he gave me. Su Qing turned around and opened the gift box that Zhou Hengguang had given her. It was an exquisitely designed watch. The steel bracelet was not like the usual thick chain but a thin rose gold.
It was very expensive.
Its really nice. Su Xiu was amazed. Second Sister, it just so happens that you dont have a watch. Now that you have one, itll be much more convenient to check the time, Su Xiu praised.
The last time her sister came back from the provincial capital, she bought a lot of things, but she forgot to buy a watch. They were sold in the county town, with both plum blossom and red star brands. Anyone who wore a watch of these two brands would be envied by everyone wherever they went.
If the young man could use a Plum Blossom watch as a betrothal gift, they could guarantee that the girl would be happy to marry him.
The Su sisters could afford a plum blossom watch if they wanted, but they couldnt bear to.
Su Qing stared at the rose-gold watch and was dumbfounded for a moment. She couldnt come back to her senses for a long time.
I dont recognize this brand! Su Xiu looked at the English letters on the watch chain and frowned. Ive never heard of this brand. It shouldnt be expensive. Fortunately, its not the Plum Blossom brand. Otherwise, it would be too expensive and hard for me to accept.
Su Qing came back to her senses and glanced at the letter stamp. She nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
Although its not a Plum Blossom brand, the watch should not be cheap. You definitely cant afford it with just a few dozen dollars. As she spoke, she felt uneasy. How could she accept such a gift for no reason?
If I had known earlier, I wouldnt have accepted it. She didnt expect Lin Weiguo to give her a watch. Its not worth much for him, as he had a simple meal at our house. The local specialities we gave are all common in the countryside. Theyre not worth much at all.
Thinking about it this way, it was too much for them to take advantage of him.
Then what should we do? Its not good to send it back to him. He gave it to you. Its not appropriate to return it. Moreover, this is for women. If you send it back to Lin Weiguo, it wont be suitable for him to wear it himself. Su Xiu thought. Forget it, just keep the watch. At most, you can return the favour in the future. Courtesy should be returned.
Thats the only way. Su Qing thought about it. Why dont I give him a mens backpack? The bag that Big Sister made is not cheap either. Its comparable to a watch.
You can do that.
Su Qing returned to her room and took out the bags that she had neatly arranged. Most of them were female bags, and there were only a few mens bags. There were a few styles that her sister had drawn for her husband when she was making the bags..
