Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 244 Making a Car Model by Hand

Cui Mengmeng has very poor manual dexterity, so she especially admires craftsmen.

Not only Cui Mengmeng, but Xin Yujue also watched Ning Yao do handicrafts with great interest.

Ning Yao arranged the tools she took out of the box to the side: pliers, utility knife, screwdriver, tweezers, blades, and so on.

The materials were still in the box and hadn't been opened yet. Xin Yujue glanced at them briefly and found that there was car frame sheet metal, paint, and glue inside.

Ning Yao sat upright at her desk and began drawing car design drafts.

Her pen-holding posture is beautiful, with a straight back and long, fair fingers with distinct knuckles. The patterns she draws are smooth and flowing. Even without a ruler, she can draw a straight line without any crookedness or trembling. This is something that people without artistic skills cannot do.

"Only Yao Yao deserves the title of goddess. She's perfect. How can she do everything?"

Cui Mengmeng finds her own artists pleasing to the eye, especially since Luo Xiyao is her good friend, which undoubtedly adds another layer of filter to her view.

Xin Yujue suddenly let out a scream, which startled Ning Yao so much that her hand trembled and the lines on the drawing went astray.

She sighed and turned to look at Xin Yujue, who was startled.

"When did you get corrupted by Mengmeng? Now you're starting to be so loud and boisterous too."

"No, no, it's the seashell that President Wen gave you..." Xin Yujue stammered.

Ning Yao gave her and Cui Mengmeng each a seashell, which looked like worthless seashells, but were actually extremely precious gemstones.

It's been verified. Just now, her professor, who taught her elective course on gemstones and luxury goods, replied to her post on WeChat Moments.

"What's wrong with the seashell?" Ning Yao asked casually as she buried her head in wiping away the crooked black lines on the drawing.

“That’s the rarest and most precious sea fin cichlid in Q country. One of them is worth at least 800,000!” Xin Yujue’s voice trembled slightly as she recited the professor’s comment on her WeChat Moments, almost word for word.

Cui Mengmeng was also shocked by Xin Yujue's words and immediately went online to search for the gemstone 'Sea Sparrow'.

Based on various methods of identifying sea finches by their appearance, Cui Mengmeng took out the seashells Ning Yao had given her and carefully compared them.

"This...this is truly a sea finless jewel!" Cui Mengmeng's scream was even louder than Xin Yujue's.

So Ning Yao drew another crooked black line on her drawing...

"Can you guys keep your voices down? I'm drawing..." Ning Yao said helplessly, turning around to her two roommates.

To everyone's surprise, Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue quickly climbed off their beds and solemnly presented the sea eagle shells they had obtained.

"Yaoyao, this gem is too precious, we can't accept it!"

"You've already spent a lot of money on the Costa Cruises, here's your money back."

If it were just an ordinary decorative item made from polished seashells, that would be one thing, but the two of them had never even seen a sea gull before, let alone knew how precious it was. A single sea gull could cost 800,000, so how could they dare to accept it?

Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue each placed their underwater sea sparrows into Ning Yao's palm, signaling her to take them back.

"Since I've given them all to you, they're yours now."

"What would I do with so many seashells? I have more than a dozen left. Don't be so polite with me." Ning Yao refused to accept them and stuffed the things back into their hands.

"It's too expensive, I don't dare to buy it."

“You have to consider the feelings of us two ordinary people. Eight hundred thousand is too much for us. My parents’ combined annual income is only a little over ten thousand.” Xin Yujue said seriously, and returned the sea eagle to Ning Yao again.

“Yes, we commoners are trembling with fear when we see such a valuable gift,” Cui Mengmeng agreed with Xin Yujue.

Ning Yao glanced at her two roommates' serious expressions, then burst out laughing.

But after laughing, she quickly put on a serious face and said meticulously, "What do you mean by commoner or not? If you say such things again, I'll get angry."

“We are friends. When friends give gifts, they don’t look at the price. You can’t just accept cheap gifts and avoid expensive ones. It’s my good intention, isn’t it?”

“But this thing belongs to President Wen. If President Wen finds out, I’m afraid he’ll kill us both.” Cui Mengmeng thought for a moment, then felt a wave of fear.

"Since he gave it to me, it's mine. I have the right to give it to whomever I want, and that's none of his business!"

Ning Yao raised one eyebrow, her arm draped lazily over the back of the chair, a drawing pen between her fingers, her fingers long and beautiful.

"This is the first time in my life I've seen a canary be so arrogant towards its sugar daddy. Yao Yao, you've really changed my perspective on sugar daddy relationships." Cui Mengmeng swallowed hard, her admiration for Luo Xiyao growing even stronger.

"Alright, stop bothering me while I'm drawing. I need to finish the design drawings this morning and try to make the model before school starts. I won't have any free time after school starts. Get out of the way." Ning Yao waved Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue away like she was shooing away sparrows, took out her earphones and put them on, no longer looking at the two of them.

Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue looked at each other, holding the precious seashell bird in their hands, their faces blank.

Seeing that Ning Yao didn't want to pay any attention to them, the two had no choice but to carefully accept the gifts.

Over the next few days, Ning Yao was busy making models, and before she knew it, the holiday was over.

When Wenna returned to the dormitory, she saw a mess, especially her bed, which was covered with all kinds of cardboard boxes and was very dirty.

She suppressed her temper, bent down to pick up a cardboard box, and tossed it onto Ning Yao's bedside.

"What's going on?" Wenna's voice was cold and piercing.

Cui Mengmeng was startled by Ning Yao's action of throwing the box and quickly stepped forward to protect the car model that Ning Yao had worked so hard to make.

"You haven't been in the dorm these past few days, so we had nowhere to put our things. They're just sitting there temporarily. I'll tidy them up for you. Why are you getting so angry?"

Xin Yujue also silently climbed off the bed and helped Cui Mengmeng tidy up.

Wenna seems like a different person. Their dormitory used to be quite harmonious, but ever since she starred in "Palm of My Hand," the relationship between Wenna and Luo Xiyao seems to have changed, and it's hard to explain why.

Especially when they were on set, Wen Na moved into the small villa that President Wen had built for Luo Xiyao without being invited. In the end, Luo Xiyao moved out, and only Wen Na lived there. This situation seemed very strange no matter how you looked at it.

It's obvious that Wenna has a relationship with President Wen, but as for what kind of relationship, they, as outsiders, have no way of knowing.

No matter what, she and Cui Mengmeng will stand by Luo Xiyao's side and never let her suffer any injustice.

Xin Yujue thought to herself, and she kept her distance from Wenna even more, avoiding speaking to her whenever possible, treating her as if she were invisible.

Ning Yao returned to her dormitory with a can of spray paint in her hand.

When she entered the room and saw Wenna, her first reaction was to be stunned for a moment, but she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Wenna completely ignored Ning Yao and climbed into her own bed, ignoring the two people in the dormitory who were working hard to tidy up.

"You don't need to worry about it, I can take care of it myself." Ning Yao stepped forward and pulled Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue.

Making models inevitably makes a mess of the room, and she planned to clean it up herself after it was finished, without bothering her roommate.

"It's okay, you still have one last step to take. Once you're done, get some rest. You've been busy for days."

“I’m your manager and assistant. Have you forgotten? My responsibility is to take care of you and help you with the mundane things,” Cui Mengmeng said.

Luo Xiyao's business is her business, and there's nothing wrong with her helping to sort things out.

It was Luo Xiyao's distant attitude that made her unhappy.

Xin Yujue raised an eyebrow and retorted to Cui Mengmeng.

"What, just because someone isn't an assistant doesn't mean they can't interfere in their friends' affairs?"

"Hey, that's not what I meant. Don't overthink it. Anyway, Yao Yao's career will grow big in the future. You can come and work here too. Whether you want to be an artist or an agent is up to you. Yao Yao is very easy to talk to."

"Then our dorm's three best friends will be able to work hard together!"

Cui Mengmeng only mentioned the "Iron Triangle" and didn't include Wen Na. In her opinion, Wen Na was not worthy of playing with them.
