Chapter 271 You're Off Topic
When Jiang Zhiyue entered the hall, a burst of laughter came towards her.
"When did Madam Gu have a goddaughter? We had no idea."
"If I had known in advance, I would have prepared a gift for the meeting anyway."
The seating arrangement of the ladies was very particular. No matter from which angle you looked, Mrs. Gu and a lady next to her who was dressed in black but didn't talk much were surrounded like the moon surrounded by stars.
Lin's mother sat opposite the two of them, with Bai's mother next to her.
Jiang Zhiyue walked in slowly, facing the direction of Bai's mother.
The woman changed out of her professional suit and dressed in jewels.
She scooped up the soup from the bowl, took a sip, and looked at Mrs. Gu with a smile.
This appearance is completely different from the upright and heroic image in the news.
Hearing the footsteps, Bai's mother wiped the corner of her mouth and cast a vague look at Jiang Zhiyue, with a dark light flashing in her eyes.
For no reason, the scene of meeting Bai's mother at the concert suddenly emerged in Jiang Zhiyue's mind.
This strong and resolute woman was never nice to anyone except Bai Yanzhu.
Bai Yanzhu and Bai's mother have completely different personalities.
Although Bai's mother had a smile on her face, the sharpness in her eyes could not be concealed.
Almost instantly, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Zhiyue, with different expressions.
The girl was wearing a black turtleneck sweater with a neat black jacket. Her hair was piled high and her lowered eyebrows revealed a hint of calmness.
Jiang Zhiyue's etiquette was impeccable; even the way she walked with small steps was flawless.
Everyone knows that the goddaughter that Mrs. Gu mentioned refers to the little maid who was known as Gu Zhaoye's study companion in Wharton.
Not only did the ladies know her and remember her, but some of them looked at her with a half-smile, unable to conceal their deep meaning.
Mother Lin curved her lips and said, "Okay, okay, this little girl who knows the rules looks smart and clever, and she is really good-looking."
Madam Gu showed a satisfied look on her face. "This child has been smart since she was young. I liked her the first time I saw her."
Jiang Zhiyue stood very straight with her hands hanging by her sides.
No matter what happens or what the occasion, she can always handle it calmly and gracefully.
Two hours ago, she received a call from the housekeeper, and Mrs. Gu's tea party was waiting for her to arrange.
Jiang Zhiyue could only pack herself up as quickly as possible and leave the hospital.
Mrs. Gu asked Jiang Zhiyue to introduce a batch of auction items. Several precious antiques were placed on the table, the most eye-catching of which was a statue of Water Moon Guanyin.
This is a treasure that Mrs. Gu bought for 2.5 billion three years ago.
Jiang Zhiyue has shown an extraordinary talent for antiques since she was a child and is familiar with the mechanisms and formulas of auctions.
Gu Zhaoye once argued with her about these issues, and this scene happened to be heard by Mrs. Gu who was passing by.
After that, the housekeeper deliberately introduced the Gu family's antique collection to Jiang Zhiyue.
Three years later, the size of the Guanyin statue has increased several times.
Jiang Zhiyue looked at the crowd and said calmly, "The Water Moon Guanyin statue is famous for its image of looking at the moon in the water. The Buddha statue is usually presented in a half-cross-legged sitting posture... In recent years, there have been many imitations at home and abroad."
Jiang Zhiyue had an estimate in mind and wrote down a number that satisfied Mrs. Gu.
For each of the following items, Jiang Zhiyue was able to give answers that satisfied Mrs. Gu. Even if other ladies had doubts, the girl could give detailed and perfect answers based on recent industry dynamics and financial trends.
The wives' eyes all changed, and they praised her again and again: "Mrs. Gu really adopted an excellent goddaughter, who is even smarter than my daughter."
Jiang Zhiyue held the pen and sat properly by the tea bank. She felt a stinging pain in her palm and was worried that blood would drip onto the white paper.
But the words "goddaughter" still made her fingers holding the pen tighten suddenly, and her eyes involuntarily fell on the few collections behind her, and her eyes darkened.
At this time, Jiang Zhiyue heard someone calling her again, asking her to serve tea.
Jiang Zhiyue looked up and saw the sight of a beautiful woman.
The exquisite and beautiful woman held the teacup, her eyes swept back and forth over her body, and said with a smile: "Such a smart and lucky girl, my fairy wants to be friends with this child."
"What's your name?"
The beautiful woman said slowly: "Jiang Zhiyue, right? I often hear Xian'er mention you."
This is Lin’s mother.
Lin Xian'er is arrogant and domineering, and her thoughts are written all over her face. Although Lin's mother appears gentle and soft, and speaks softly, the malice in her eyes and eyebrows is chilling.
Her hostility was obvious.
Serving tea is a traditional etiquette of Brandenburg. The host arranges the servants to kneel on both knees, hold the teacup above their heads, and serve tea to the guests in turn to show respect and welcome to the guests.
It is not difficult for anyone who pays attention to notice the wound on Jiang Zhiyue's hand. Lin's mother asked her to serve tea and specifically instructed the servants to serve the hottest tea. Jiang Zhiyue's hand was already injured, and this would only make the injury worse.
Even Mrs. Gu frowned slightly.
Mother Lin was chatting and laughing with the ladies, not caring at all. She even mentioned the slums and glanced at Mother Bai.
Bai's mother naturally thought of Bai Yanzhu's troubles.
In order to prepare for this marriage, the Bai family tried every possible means to guard against it, but they didn't expect that a little maid would take advantage of it. Bai Yanzhu had never lived with Qin Si, but these two spent a month together.
The two seemed to have no conflicts, so who knows what happened.
The marriage contract was about to be put on the agenda, but Qin Si, the future son-in-law, had been slow to respond.
With the support of Lin Sheng and his two families, Lin's mother dared to be treacherous and not give Madam Gu face. Bai's mother really didn't have the courage to do so. Even if she wanted to humiliate her, she could only watch coldly.
"What are you still standing there for? Madam Gu and I are like sisters. Her goddaughter is my goddaughter. Can't I have a sip of my goddaughter's tea?" Mother Lin covered her mouth and smiled meaningfully.
The maid kneeled down to serve tea, which was a very normal thing in the eyes of the ladies.
Although Jiang Zhiyue is young, she is calm and wise beyond her age, which makes Mrs. Gu look at her differently.
Being born in a humble family is a fact that cannot be changed.
Lin's mother intended to humiliate her, but Mrs. Gu didn't have to turn against her for her.
Others were just waiting to see the show.
At this time, the lady in black, who had been sitting silently beside her, suddenly spoke up, "Sheng Yao, you are off topic."
The smile on Lin's mother's face froze instantly. As soon as she finished speaking, the noble ladies all looked at the lady in black. After taking a closer look, they saw fear in their eyes.
She sat in the main seat with Madam Gu, and Jiang Zhiyue heard Mother Lin respectfully call her, "Madam Qin."
Mrs. Qin ignored her and continued talking to Mrs. Gu about the auction, glancing at Jiang Zhiyue twice.
Mrs. Gu understood what she meant and arranged for Jiang Zhiyue to write another introduction form and give it to Mrs. Qin, and then told her to leave.
Jiang Zhiyue walked away, but she still heard Lin's mother's voice, which came with contempt and disdain, and a hint of gnashing teeth, "Princess's face, maid's life."
I don't know who this curse was directed at, but there was a burst of laughter from the side.
"A princess' face, a maid's life."
