Cao Nana's expression immediately changed, and she quickly tried to smooth things over.
"We're meeting for the first time today, so we'll be friends from now on. Why make things so awkward..."
Cao Nana stepped forward to act like a nice guy, smiling obsequiously. Abby's socialite friends looked terrible, Xing Fei also had a sour face, while Ji Zhinan watched Cao Nana with a look of anticipation.
Only Cao Nana was laughing, and it was awkward just watching her.
"Abby is beautiful and kind. She didn't mean it that way. Little sister, please don't misunderstand her..."
Hastily brushing off what had just happened, Cao Nana was somewhat unwilling to let Ji Zhinan off the hook so easily, so she immediately changed the subject and turned her fire on her, launching an attack.
Cao Nana pretended to be kind and reminded her, "You are Xiaxia's sister. For Xiaxia's sake, there are some things I need to remind you."
"This is a high-end hotel. Anyone who can attend this banquet is someone who can make a name for themselves in Beijing. Even if you're here to carry bags for others and earn some extra money, you still need to wear formal attire. Otherwise, it's disrespectful."
Cao Nana continued 'thoughtfully', "I happen to have a lot of dresses that I've worn before. The house where I keep my clothes is very close to this hotel, only about a five-minute drive away. Why don't you go change into one and come back?"
Hearing this, Abby scoffed, "Nana, you're too kind. Even if your dress is cheap, it still costs tens of thousands. You said yourself that she's just a handbag carrier. One dress from her is worth a year's salary for her. Does she even deserve it?"
"Besides, a dress is just trash after it's worn once!"
Cao Nana said gently, "It's okay, Abby. I was planning to throw them all away anyway. If she really needs them, she can take them. I have no objection."
After saying that, Cao Nana turned her gaze to Ji Zhinan and smiled innocently: "If you want to wear them, I won't throw those clothes in the trash and make you pick them out of the garbage dump."
Following Abby, several other socialites chimed in, and together with Cao Nana, they made sarcastic and mocking remarks, belittling Ji Zhinan to the point of worthlessness.
Ji Zhinan remained calm and solemnly refused, "No need, Miss Cao, you should just put them on Xianyu.com and sell them again at a low price to recoup your costs."
Hearing this, the socialites laughed again. This woman was beautiful, but they never expected her to be such a complete country bumpkin.
Selling dresses? I can't believe she even thought of that!
They, the women of high society, only wear their gowns once, preferring to throw them away rather than resell them, because it's shameful!
The handbag carrier didn't even know this; no wonder she got slapped in the face. She deserved it.
Cao Nana also made no attempt to hide her mockery of Ji Zhinan, but the person being mocked didn't feel ashamed at all; instead, he laughed along with them.
"A secondhand dress isn't worth much, but if you sell it sincerely, you could probably get a little over 100,000 yuan back. With that little money, if you offend someone again, like if you break someone's bag worth a million, Miss Cao won't have to sell her jewelry to scrape together money to pay for the bag..."
Ji Zhinan spoke casually, and the socialites naturally didn't understand what she meant, but Cao Nana, who was mocking Ji Zhinan, froze with a smile.
Ji Zhinan only mentioned it casually, but Cao Nana couldn't help but recall the scenes of racking her brains to sell things to raise the two million yuan.
Those were the most miserable days of her life!
