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

Chapter 245 The Sea Sparrow, of Immense Value

That day, Ning Yao and Cui Mengmeng went to the classroom first, while Xin Yujue was still washing up and would be a little later.

Ning Yao and Cui Mengmeng originally wanted to wait for Xin Yujue, but Xin Yujue asked them to buy breakfast and urged them to go out.

After visiting the cafeteria, Ning Yao and Cui Mengmeng went into the classroom, where the first of the sycophantic friends was showing off the souvenir that Miao Yuliu had bought for her.

"This Costa cruise was so much fun! We even went scuba diving, and the equipment alone cost 30,000 yuan per person..."

“Yu Liu also bought us gifts. Look, these are handmade little crabs from Java Island, made from coral from the seabed. Each one costs several thousand dollars, and we each got one.”

As she spoke, Number 1 took out the small crab that Miao Yuliu had bought, placed it in her palm, and held it up to show the people around her.

Although the crabs only cost a little over a thousand yuan, they were still very happy, at least they didn't go home empty-handed.

I heard that Luo Xiyao and her roommate only stayed on the island in Q country for a day and a half before heading straight back home.

Thinking of this, Number 1 couldn't help but smile. Although the food was a bit lacking, it was still a matter of face. She had been on the Costa Cruises, and there were very few students in the school who had been on that ship.

"Such a small handmade crab costs several thousand yuan, that's really expensive..."

"Yu Liu, do you need a roommate? We'd love to live with you too. It would be so wonderful to be your roommate. I'm so envious."

Everyone started talking about it, crowding around Miao Yuliu and praising her, making Miao Yuliu quite flattered.

This trip wasn't a complete waste for her. She spent a lot of money, but she regained her dignity, so it was still worth it.

"Okay, I'll take you guys next time we have a holiday." Miao Yuliu made a boastful promise, not even considering whether she had the financial means. She figured she could just ask her father for the money later; she had plenty of ways to get it.

Number 2, with sharp eyes, spotted Ning Yao and Cui Mengmeng as they entered the classroom, coughed twice, and deliberately raised his voice.

"Hey, isn't this Luo Xiyao? Didn't you also go on a Costa cruise for the last seven days of your winter break? What did you find?"

They knew Luo Xiyao had left in a hurry and hadn't had time to buy any gifts. Since they had nothing on them, the group became quite unrestrained.

Ning Yao ignored them; she had absolutely no interest in participating in this kind of elementary school-level competition.

Cui Mengmeng couldn't stand these people's attitude. They had the nerve to bring out something that only cost a little over a thousand yuan and dared to embarrass Yao Yao.

Cui Mengmeng subtly released Ning Yao's arm and quietly took out her phone to send a message to Xin Yujue, who was still in the dormitory.

Seeing that Ning Yao ignored them, Miao Yuliu's sycophantic girlfriends became even more arrogant.

In their eyes, Luo Xiyao was just feeling guilty and didn't dare to compete with them.

So what if she has a sugar daddy? Maybe Luo Xiyao angered him and was kicked off the ship halfway back to China.

"Don't bring up Luo Xiyao's sad moments. She got off the ship midway through the journey, so it's normal that she didn't buy anything."

"Buy them, okay? I saw photos posted on Cui Mengmeng and Xin Yujue's WeChat Moments; they look like a few crystal-clear seashell stones."

"Ah, a seashell, and it's even crystal clear. Is it one of those plastic stones you can buy for ten yuan on Taobao?"

"Who knows? Anyway, it looks cheap. Real gemstones don't have such uniform color. My dad has a very good piece of jade. It's only expensive if the color isn't pure. Look at those so-called jade stones on the street, you can buy them for just a few dozen yuan, right?"

"Free shipping, dear!" someone said to Ning Yao's retreating figure with a mischievous grin.

"Alright, stop talking, or Luo Xiyao will lose face." Miao Yuliu pretended to stop her lackeys, while a mocking smile played on her lips.

So what if I went out? So what if I was in a luxury VIP suite on the top floor of a cruise ship?

Without leaving any evidence, who would believe it? Such lies are so easy to come up with; she could also claim to have lived in a luxury suite.

Ultimately, Ning Yao was still too naive and didn't understand the importance of saving face. In the small society of school, everyone has some vanity, likes expensive things, and enjoys high-class entertainment.

Cui Mengmeng was almost driven crazy by Miao Yuliu. Did this person have to be so shallow and concerned about saving face?

Did they take advantage of Yao Yao and lose their temper? It's only because Yao Yao has a good temper that Miao Yu Liu would have died a thousand or eight hundred times over, given Yao Yao's skills.

Cui Mengmeng, who was next to her, slammed her book onto the table with a loud bang.

Ning Yao glanced to the side and saw that Cui Mengmeng's cheeks were flushed with anger, looking just like a ripe red apple, which was incredibly cute.

Ning Yao reached out and pinched Cui Mengmeng's cheek, amused, "I'm not angry, why are you?"

"How can I not be angry? They couldn't even afford a decent meal while they were on the ship. We didn't laugh at them, but they laughed at us instead. How funny!" Cui Mengmeng got angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and just hoped that Xin Yujue would come over with the things soon.

“We shouldn’t do such low things as comparing and mocking others. If we do, wouldn’t we be on the same level as them?” Ning Yao tried to comfort her, but it didn’t work.

It was almost time for class when Xin Yujue finally arrived, panting, carrying three boxes—one large and two small.

"Breakfast is on the table. There are still a few minutes left, so hurry up and eat. Eating on an empty stomach can easily lead to low blood sugar." Ning Yao handed over the breakfast and gestured for Xin Yujue to sit down and eat.

Xin Yujue smiled and agreed, then handed the box in her hand to Cui Mengmeng.

Cui Mengmeng opened the box and pretended to cover her mouth and exclaim, "Ouch!"

Her voice quickly attracted the attention of her classmates, and even the professor of the elective course on gemstones and luxury goods, who had just entered the room, looked over when he heard her.

"Why did you bring the 'Sea Sparrow' with you?" Cui Mengmeng said to Xin Yujue, feigning anger.

"It's not safe to keep these in the dorm. These things are very expensive. Just these three boxes are worth over a hundred million!" Xin Yujue scolded.

“You’re right. Why don’t we rent a safe or put it in a bank? Otherwise, I’m really afraid someone will climb through the window and steal things from our dorm in the middle of the night.” Cui Mengmeng moved the box in her hand again, which aroused everyone’s curiosity even more.

Discussions immediately arose.

"What is that Cui Mengmeng is holding? Is it something precious?"

"She even said it's worth hundreds of millions, what a load of rubbish! What could possibly be worth hundreds of millions that fits in such a tiny box?"

"It's said to be a sea nymph, but what is that? I've never even heard of it."

Number 1 was delighted upon hearing this.

"Seashell Sparrow? It's just a cheap trinket from Yiwu that you can buy online for ten yuan with free shipping. Cui Mengmeng even posted it on her WeChat Moments."

This kind of photoshopping is fine for showing off on social media, but when you actually look at it in person, it won't look as impressive as the picture.

A student with an unfamiliar face was sitting next to Cui Mengmeng. She curiously leaned closer and asked, "What is a sea eagle? I've never seen one before. Could you open the box and let me take a look?"

Cui Mengmeng smiled and generously handed over the box.

The female student knew that the contents of the box were very valuable, so she carefully pulled open the clasp. The moment it opened, the sea eagle inside gleamed with a dark light, like a magical artifact that could only be seen in a movie, something that did not exist in the human world.

The shimmering underwater sea sparrows displayed a different luster indoors than outdoors, making them breathtakingly beautiful.

The female student was instantly captivated by the beautiful bird; her eyes lit up, and she was deeply moved…
