Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Social Death Comes 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, come on, tell me the truth—can’t you just leave your brother alone?"

Gu Nanzhi looked at her suspiciously: "Aren’t you the same? Why are you asking me?"

Tang Chuxia: ...

What a mess the original host has made!

Finally, when people came 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 time!"

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 come for a matchmaking meeting!"

Moreover, the woman’s dress was sewn with white cloth; she looked odd all over, although she was smiling, it seemed 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 me, who was around when you spoke to her?"

Gu Nanzhi chuckled: "I couldn’t find you at that moment, 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 me!"

After speaking, she suddenly stared at Tang Chuxia with sharp, spirited eyes: "Wait, how come you were coming out of my brother’s room? You couldn’t be..."

Guilty!

That’s how Tang Chuxia felt at this moment.

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 mess 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 immediately assumed 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 excitement, Tang Chuxia was finally allowed to return but then realized that she must have some kind of feud with beds—no sooner had she lain down than someone else came 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 name 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 grime, 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 me 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 members were these?

Couldn’t they consider her image for a moment?

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 extremely happy!"

If her words hadn’t been squeezed out through clenched teeth, Zheng Daqing might not have realized something was amiss. He grabbed the newspaper and took a couple of steps back, "Sis, I just came to tell you the good news. You can’t take it out on me, 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 doorframe and reminded her, "Grandpa said he’s going to cut your photo out and hang it in the living room, so that everyone who comes 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 lifetimes!

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 times, frugality was a virtue. The family was well-clothed and fed, but that didn’t mean 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 me!"

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 commendation ceremony for you! We’ll let you know once the date is confirmed, okay?"

Auntie Hu from the neighborhood office came 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 home, but to be publicly executed like this, just how did they intend to watch her die a social death?
