The man's eyes were deep, and he spoke calmly and composedly: "Last time I attended a banquet with a friend, my friend met that lady. My friend said she was the ugliest noble lady he had ever seen, with the most pockmarks on her face. Because my friend kept making me look at her, I took a look. Coincidentally, I have a good memory, and although I only glanced at her, I still remembered Miss Wagner."
When Lin Que first saw that pockmarked noblewoman, he laughed heartily, not for any other reason than that he overheard her telling others how beautiful, charming, and lovable she was.
It's not your fault if you're ugly, and it's not your fault if you're ugly and narcissistic, but it is wrong of you to be ugly, narcissistic, and eager to show off.
"..."
It is not very harmful, but it is extremely insulting.
Mrs. Wagner's face flushed red with humiliation, her expression incredibly ugly. If it weren't for Gu Yibei speaking, she would have already retorted; but it was Gu Yibei, though just a junior, who instilled a deep fear in her.
Because he remembered that pockmarked lady, Gu Yibei frowned, looking as if his eyes had been burned by something.
He quickly turned to look at Ji Zhinan, staring at her delicate face, big eyes and small mouth. She only wore light makeup and didn't even have foundation, yet her complexion was still so good and her skin was so firm. He couldn't find any flaws no matter how hard he looked.
Gu Yibei's expression softened considerably in an instant.
As expected, my own wife is the most pleasing to the eye.
He held Ji Zhinan's hand, playing with it finger by finger as if it were a toy, and said casually, "The Wagner family is so rich, they look down on everyone, how come they don't have money to buy Miss Wagner some good concealer?"
"..."
"It seems that since the Wagner family and the Gu family have known each other for many years, I can ask my fiancée to recommend a few concealers to Miss Wagner to cover up the freckles on her face. Although my fiancée doesn't use these things, she has a good eye, so the ones she picks out are naturally good."
"..."
A fiancée and a girlfriend are not the same thing. The three ladies subconsciously looked at Ji Zhinan's hands. Because they had looked down on this commoner girl earlier, they hadn't really looked at her properly.
Upon closer inspection, the diamond ring Ji Zhinan was wearing on his middle finger was quickly spotted.
The middle finger signifies engagement, while the ring finger signifies marriage.
In other words, Gu Yibei and she are engaged.
They're engaged...
The pink diamond, worth $80 million, sparkled brilliantly in the sunlight.
Maureen rushed over as soon as she finished dealing with her business, and the atmosphere was already tense when she arrived.
Seeing her son there, she was surprised: "Son? Didn't you go out to work with your father?"
Gu Yibei made no secret of his dependence on Ji Zhinan: "I missed Nannan." So I came back.
The tone was still so self-righteous.
"..." Mo Lin glared at Gu Yibei.
That brat! He's always clinging to Nan Nan. Now that I've finally been tied up with work, I haven't even had half a day to spend with Nan Nan before this brat comes back.
"You brat! Your mother finally had a chance to spend time alone with Nan Nan to build a better relationship with her, and you're trying to take that opportunity from me!"
Maureen's tone was full of jealousy, and every word she spoke was filled with affection and dependence on Ji Zhinan.
If she didn't truly like Ji Zhinan, she wouldn't have said something like cultivating a relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
