In their first duel, Ji Zhinan didn't lose, but he certainly didn't gain any advantage either.
The woman's thin lips curled lazily as she spoke, "You're up? Come and sit down."
This composure, this aura, is just like the magnanimity of the principal wife.
The housekeeper, surnamed He, was trembling beside him, clearly nervous.
Noticing Butler He's mood, Ji Zhinan lowered his eyes, remained silent for a few seconds, and then walked towards the restaurant.
He pulled out the chair opposite the woman and sat down, looking directly into her eyes.
The woman was very elegant, and every move she made exuded aristocratic grace.
Just like the owner of the house, she winked at the maid: "Serve this young lady breakfast."
"yes……"
The maid didn't dare delay and quickly went to get it.
Soon, a breakfast exactly like the woman's appeared in front of Ji Zhinan.
The woman pursed her lips and took a sip of milk. Seeing that Ji Zhinan was alone, she frowned.
"You didn't even pour the milk, you're punished."
A casual remark sent the already trembling maid crashing to her knees, too afraid to explain.
She personally took a clean cup, poured a glass of milk for Ji Zhinan, and handed it to him.
"Thanks……"
Ji Zhinan thanked her and reached out to take it, but before he could touch her, the woman suddenly curled her lips and let go of his hand.
Fortunately, Ji Zhinan reacted quickly and caught the cup before he lost face. He took a sip of milk in front of the woman and then said, "Thank you."
"Ha." The woman withdrew her beautiful hand, picked up her knife and fork again, and began to eat elegantly.
She popped a piece of foie gras into her mouth, chewing it slowly, while still cutting an egg in her hand.
"I heard you're Gu Yibei's girlfriend?"
Ultimately, it was the woman who started the war.
Ji Zhinan paused, his hand holding the knife and fork still, and answered definitively, "I am."
"Heh..." The woman laughed, her mockery undisguised: "Do you even know him?"
Do you know his lifestyle habits?
Do you know anything about his family?
Do you really think you're good enough for him?
"..."
Four questions directly stumped Ji Zhinan.
Seeing that she did not answer her question, the woman's sarcasm deepened, and she bit into a piece of egg.
"Sometimes you have to admit that there is a distance between heaven and earth. Just like this sumptuous breakfast, some people will elegantly savor it with a knife and fork, while others will just shovel it down with chopsticks. One is enjoying life, and the other is just making a living. There will always be an insurmountable mountain between them. That is the distance."
The woman stared at Ji Zhinan's face and said, word by word, "It's obvious that there's a mountain between you and Gu Yibei. And it will be very difficult for you to cross that mountain and come into our world."
"..." Ji Zhinan lowered his eyes, the knife in his hand scraping the eggs on the plate.
She did not answer the woman's question.
Because every word a woman says is true.
Wealthy people can be divided into three categories: nouveau riche, wealthy families, and established families.
A prestigious family is a powerful family, but a powerful family is not necessarily a prestigious family.
Anyone with money can become a wealthy family, but there's a world of difference between a prestigious family and a truly wealthy family.
Ji Zhinan knew from the beginning that Gu Yibei was no ordinary young master from a wealthy family. Even though she was a young lady from the Ji family, she and Gu Yibei were worlds apart.
Seeing that Ji Zhinan remained silent, the woman stared at her for a long time, the disappointment in her eyes fleeting, and then she shook her head.
The next moment, Ji Zhinan looked up at her.
"Perhaps you are right."
"..."
