Diana slammed the champagne she was holding onto the table, and her words were incredibly sarcastic.
"I read about Chinese history a few years ago. Legend has it that a nine-tailed fox who had cultivated for a thousand years transformed into a human named Su Daji. She entered the harem of King Zhou of Xiqi and bewitched him. King Zhou became licentious and cruel because of her, drove away Huang Feihu, killed his first wife, Queen Jiang, drove away two princes, and even killed Boyi Kao, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xibo. Now look at this Miss Ji, who has bewitched Gu Yibei like this, she is no different from Su Daji."
"I've known Gu Yibei since I was a child. Over the years, countless noble ladies have wanted to become the young mistress of the Gu family, but they were all rejected. I thought he was focused on his career and wanted to achieve something before considering love and romance, but I never expected that after that trip to China, he would come back with a Chinese woman!"
The other noble ladies also admired Gu Yibei. Knowing that he was engaged, and to a commoner girl from a family less fortunate than theirs, they were naturally upset.
So they felt a pang of jealousy together with Diana.
“I had heard before that Gu Yibei had a commoner girlfriend in China, but I didn’t want to believe it at the time. After all, commoners and us are from two different worlds. Gu Yibei has such high standards, how could he choose a woman with no status to be his wife and the future mistress of the Gu family? But I only believed it when my father received the engagement invitation from the Gu family. It turns out it was true…”
“I’ve been observing that Ji Zhinan for a long time and found that she’s nothing special. Apart from her face being slightly attractive, her background and her life story are completely incomparable to ours, okay? I’ve read books from China before, and she’s like a crow flying up to a branch and becoming a phoenix.”
Upon hearing this, several noble ladies covered their mouths and chuckled, one of whom couldn't help but chime in.
"Falina is right. A crow is still a crow. No matter how beautiful she is, she's just an average-looking crow. She wants to join our phoenix flock, but she doesn't even look like us!"
"Of course not. They're so beautiful. Even if you blackmail a plastic surgeon, he couldn't make you that beautiful unless he got a head transplant."
A roguish male voice interrupted their conversation. Upon hearing the sudden appearance of the male voice, the noble ladies' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately looked in the direction of the voice.
Lin Que wore a white haute couture suit newly released by Queen today. He sprayed his hair with hair gel and combed it back, creating a super cool hairstyle. His blond hair was still particularly eye-catching. If you put him in a crowd, you could spot him from ten meters away. He was the most eye-catching blond hair.
Standing next to him was Xing Fei, who was still wearing the same bridesmaid dress as before, which clashed with Lin Que's color. If you didn't know better, you would think they were having their wedding.
Lin Que held a wine glass in his hand, swaying it back and forth nonchalantly, looking like he was the most arrogant person in the world.
The next second, Xing Fei's high heels showed no mercy and stepped directly on his shiny leather shoes.
"What the hell are you showing off for? You almost spilled wine on my skirt!"
Lin Que was fine when he didn't speak, he looked respectable, but once he started talking, his roguish and carefree nature came out, revealing his goofy personality.
"Ouch!!! You stepped on me!"
