In front of Ji Zhinan and Gu Yibei, Maureen is a lovely mother-in-law, but outside, she has not forgotten that her husband is a duke.

The aura is full and the oppressive feeling is overwhelming.

She had a cold expression and spoke decisively and directly, not giving the three families any face at all.

This is the momentum of the Gu family, they are full of confidence!

Her husband and her son worked hard to gain status and power so that the women in the family could speak with their backs straight and without any scruples when they go out!

"Maureen..." Mrs. Wagner didn't expect that her momentary anger would cause so much trouble to the family.

They came here today to curry favor with the Gu family, so how did they mess things up like this?

"Maureen, that's not what I meant. Don't be angry."

"I don't want to be angry?" Maureen sneered. "You're saying bad things about my daughter-in-law in my own house, and you don't allow me to be angry. Mrs. Wagner is way too arrogant."

“…” That’s not what she meant.

The other two ladies were smart enough to know that they had angered Madam Gu and that further explanation would be of no avail. They could only save face by quietly taking back the gifts.

Only Mrs. Wagner, knowing that there was a fire pit ahead, deliberately rushed forward. She really has a problem with her brain.

She didn't have a head just to look taller, did she?

Mrs. Wagner gave a lot of earnest explanations, but it was not known whether Maureen listened or not.

Until Maureen suddenly turned her head and faced her.

Mrs. Wagner was overjoyed, thinking that her hard work had paid off. However, she never expected that the next second—

"My daughter-in-law is wearing the bracelet you gave her. Knowing that Madame Wagner looks down on her, I'm afraid she won't want it anymore after she's worn it. But our Gu family never takes advantage of others. Madame Wagner will directly quote the value of that jade bracelet, and we, the Gu family, will deliver the money to your manor without losing a penny."

"Maureen..."

"Qiqi, show the guests out!"

Mrs. Wagner rushed over and wanted to explain further, but Maureen had already left. The maid blocked her way and said, "Ladies, please leave."

“…”

…………

When Maureen returned, Ji Zhinan had changed into a new set of clothes, which looked much warmer than the skirt she was wearing just now.

Seeing Maureen, Ji Zhinan nodded slightly, his face full of apology: "Sorry, Auntie."

Although she is not a noble, she knows that in a noble family, status is the most important thing.

Those ladies were daughters of wealthy families before they got married, and they were full of honors after marrying their husbands. It is understandable that they look down on common people.

After all, this is reality, just like a food chain.

The royal family looks down on the nobles, the nobles look down on the aristocratic families, the aristocratic families look down on the wealthy families, the wealthy families look down on the well-off families, the well-off families look down on the ordinary families, and the ordinary families look down on the poor families.

Because of a few quarrels today, the Gu family suffered losses.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Maureen glared at her without any sign of anger.

"Our family is full of confidence. Those women are jealous. Their husbands are not as perfect as mine, their sons are not as good as mine, and even their daughters-in-law are not as pretty as mine."

When she said this, Maureen was full of pride and pride.

"They are not as good as me in any way, so naturally they can only say sarcastic and sour words."
