At this moment, those people in the box were staring at Jian Ci.
Obviously, they were a little confused as to why Wu Ye would choose a girl who dressed so ordinary as his girlfriend.
Look at these clothes and pants, it feels like you can wholesale a whole box for a thousand yuan.
But due to Bai Wenjin's warning, they did not dare to make any judgment.
Then, those people began to approach her in a casual manner.
"Miss Jian looks very unfamiliar. She doesn't seem to be from Kyoto."
Jian Ci said calmly, "I used to live in Yuncheng."
Cloud City?
When the people present heard about this place, their expressions became complicated.
Isn’t Yuncheng just a small village in the fourth or fifth tier?
Why would Mr. Qin Wu want a country bumpkin?
Are you crazy?
He doesn't want any of the beautiful daughters from the many wealthy families in Kyoto, but he actually falls for this kind of girl?
Is it because of your leg disease that you feel inferior?
Impossible!
Even if he has a leg disease, there are still many rich girls who want to marry him.
Those people suppressed their doubts and just smiled and praised: "So you are from Yuncheng. I heard that the environment there is pretty good."
Jian Ci looked at those people who said one thing and said another and found it amusing.
"But since she is from Yuncheng, I wonder how Miss Jian knew the Fifth Master?" At this time, someone couldn't help but ask.
We are finally getting to the point.
Everyone looked at Jian Ci in unison.
Jian Ci was frank and said, "I met him at the engagement party."
Engagement party?
Whose engagement party?
Master Qin Wu has been living in seclusion ever since he became disabled. He rarely goes out, so how could he possibly attend the engagement party?
And who is so powerful that he dares to invite the Fifth Master?
Amidst a series of questions, the people asked again: "How long have you known Wu Ye?"
"Two or three months."
When everyone present heard this, the respectful look on their faces faded a little.
It’s only been two or three months.
What kind of girlfriend is that? At most, she can only be called a female companion. It is still unclear whether she can become the official fifth wife of the Qin family.
The third son of the Bai family is good at bluffing people.
At this time, the attitudes of the people present began to become more casual, and even the topic changed.
"Miss Jane looks very young. How old is she this year?" a woman asked directly.
Jian Ci: “Twenty.”
The man nodded thoughtfully. "Only twenty, so he should be studying, right? What kind of school has such a low workload that they even have time for dating?"
"Yeah, I remember when I was in school, the workload was so intense that I almost went bald."
"You're from a top university, so the pressure must be huge. Otherwise, how could you produce talented people?"
"You're not bad either. I remember when you were taking the IELTS, you were studying hard every day."
…
Those words both overtly and covertly reflected their sense of superiority, and at the same time...
Also despises Jian Ci.
They didn't believe that a country bumpkin from Yuncheng could get into a good school.
Unexpectedly, Jian Ci said directly: "I don't want to study anymore."
Those people were stunned.
Then a woman with wavy hair smiled meaningfully, "Is that so? That's no wonder."
At the same time, those people's expressions became more disdainful and contemptuous.
The few women around who were still testing the waters now had no scruples at all and began to speak their sarcasm bluntly.
"What a coincidence! A few days ago, I heard from my friend that there was a girl who didn't study at a young age, relied on men for a living, and dreamed of marrying a rich man every day. I don't know how her parents raised her."
"What else can I teach you? Out of the poor and remote countryside come unruly people. I just hope my daughter can fly up to the branches and become a phoenix."
"It's really hilarious. It's a phoenix, but it's just a chicken with its feathers plucked off."
There is a double entendre in this statement.
But after these people finished speaking, they pretended to be friendly and said, "Miss Jian, don't mind us. We were just talking casually. Don't take it to heart."
"Miss Jian has high aspirations and doesn't care what people like us say."
Jian Ci, who had been sitting there silently, suddenly chuckled.
Those people couldn't help but look at her.
"If I care, it would seem like I'm taking it personally and being overly sensitive. But if I don't care, it would seem like I'm a fool who can't understand the sarcasm." Jian Ci leaned back in her chair and looked around at them. "What do you think, am I right?"
After being pointed out so bluntly, those people were not embarrassed at all and even seemed a little indifferent.
"I don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending. The Third Young Master has already clearly reminded you to be polite to me, and you still dare to treat me like this? Are you questioning him?"
After Jian Ci reminded them, the expressions of those present suddenly changed.
So the men present hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "How could that be? Ah Meng and the others were just talking nonsense, just joking."
But the girls didn't buy it, especially Yan Mengmeng, who was called Ah Meng. She sneered, "You really take yourself too seriously."
Jian Ci tapped the table with her index finger and smiled, "Anyway, compared to you, he really does take me seriously."
Yan Mengmeng's expression changed, she stood up suddenly and said angrily: "What did you say!"
Jian Ci raised her eyes slightly, her smile unchanged as she said, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? I'm so sorry, I was just saying it casually, don't take it to heart. How could a rich lady like you care about what someone like me says?"
