"But that's all there is to it. To be honest, Miss Ji's piano skills are nothing special, much worse than I expected."
“That’s right.” Another lady said with a disdainful smile, “Our pianist is world-renowned. His piano skills are beyond reproach. Having been used to his piano playing, hearing Miss Ji’s playing now, I truly understand what a world of difference it is.”
Ji Zhinan lazily curled the corners of his lips: "It's just a hobby of mine, naturally I can't compare to the world's top masters."
"I didn't expect Miss Ji to be so self-aware."
"..."
"Although we are far away in Y country, we have heard that Gu Yibei has a commoner girlfriend in China. At first we thought it was a joke. After all, it is normal for someone as outstanding as Gu Yibei to have a few lovers. I did not expect that Miss Ji would come to Y country and stay at the Gu family. I have to say that Miss Ji is really capable."
"Young Master Gu has always had very high standards. What beautiful women hasn't he seen? Over the years, there have been countless beautiful noble ladies at banquets, but Young Master Gu has never taken a fancy to any of them. Who would have thought that after going to China, Young Master Gu would be so captivated by such an ordinary girl as you?"
"Miss Ji may not know what nobility is. Indeed, before coming to the Gu family, Miss Ji's life was probably simple and meaningless. But our world is different from Miss Ji's. Does Miss Ji really choose to live in our world?"
“My daughter, Diana, is twenty-two years old this year. She has liked Gu Yibei since she was ten years old and has told my husband and me more than once that she wants to marry Gu Yibei. Our family is large and powerful, and if the Gu family can join forces with us, it will definitely stabilize the Gu family’s position. If Miss Ji is willing to give up Young Master Gu to my daughter, I can give you a check. You can fill in any amount on it. It is a small token of our family’s appreciation to you.”
"..."
The three ladies chatted amongst themselves, their words and expressions revealing their contempt for Ji Zhinan.
Ji Zhinan chuckled softly, and the three noble ladies exchanged glances, their brows furrowing in confusion.
"why are you laughing?"
Ji Zhinan looked at them with a half-smile: "I've long heard that noble ladies are all dignified and elegant, and their words and actions reveal the manners of nobility, but I didn't expect the three ladies to be able to make jokes."
"..." What joke did they say?
Ji Zhinan stared at the noblewoman in the very center: "If I remember correctly, you are... Mrs. Wagner?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wagner immediately straightened her back, adopting an air of superiority.
"It's me, that's right."
"Madam must be completely unfamiliar with Chinese."
"???"
“In that case, Madam, you don’t need to speak Chinese for me. We can communicate entirely in English, which will prevent you from being laughed at.”
"..."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wagner frowned deeply. She reflected on what she had just said and did not feel that she had said anything inappropriate.
Her Chinese is genuinely good; although she can't write it, she can definitely speak it without any problem.
Ji Zhinan said there was something wrong with her way of speaking, which puzzled Mrs. Wagner.
She stared straight at Ji Zhinan and asked, "I don't know where I went wrong?"
Ji Zhinan smiled slightly and said calmly, "You've got everything wrong."
