On this day, Bei's mother took Yutang and Zhao Baoer to a tea party famous among the ladies of high society. Zhao Baoer dressed up to outdo Bei Yutang. I expected her to be dressed up too, but she was wearing a simple and elegant outfit with a traditional style.
Beimu looked at Yutang who was slowly approaching, and for a moment she had the illusion that she was a noble lady from ancient times.
"It's so beautiful." Bei's mother's eyes were full of admiration.
When Zhao Baoer heard what Bei's mother said, the smile on her face froze slightly.
In the past, such compliments were always addressed to her, but now they were addressed to Bei Yutang.
Zhao Baoer stared at her face and suddenly felt an urge to destroy her beautiful face.
When she raised her eyes, she met Bei Yutang's eyes without warning. She was so scared that she took two steps back and bumped into the shelf beside her. With a snap, the vase broke into pieces.
Beimu was startled, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Baoer was about to act as if Bei Yutang had pushed her down when she heard Bei Yutang say, "Mom, Baoer seems to be feeling unwell. She just staggered and bumped into the shelf."
Bei's mother looked at her pale face and saw that she was indeed not feeling well as Yutang said. "If you are not feeling well, go to the hospital. You don't have to accompany me to the tea party today."
How could Zhao Baoer not go to that tea party?
That tea party is a very famous tea party among the ladies of the upper class. If Bei's mother only brings Bei Yutang with her this time, rumors will soon spread in the circle that she is disliked by the Bei family.
She absolutely couldn't let such a thing happen. More importantly, she wanted to embarrass Bei Yutang at the tea party.
"Mom, I'm fine."
After Zhao Baoer confirmed it again and again, Bei's mother still took her there.
When they arrived at the tea party, quite a few people were already seated in the teahouse. As soon as they appeared, the ladies stood up and came forward to greet them.
"I really envy you for having such outstanding children." Mrs. Wang looked at Bei Yutang and said with a smile.
When Bei's mother heard this, she was naturally happy and said with a smile, "You Jiajia is also very good."
Bei Yutang didn’t like Beimu that much before, but now, looking at her, she is becoming more and more satisfied.
Zhao Baoer had often attended these kinds of banquets with Bei's mother before, so naturally, she had quite a few friends there. However, this was Bei Yutang's first time, and many of them were unfamiliar to her. Gatherings like these had long since lost their original meaning, gradually becoming a disguised form of comparison.
The two children were undoubtedly the most likely to be compared, and the daughter of a prominent family who had come with her mother to the tea party was naturally the first choice. Anyone who could come was considered quite capable.
Bei Yutang was very well behaved and stayed with her mother. Zhao Baoer had already gone to meet her old friends to reminisce about the past.
In her previous life, Bei Yutang had also attended such a banquet. At Zhao Baoer's instigation, she made a huge fool of herself, leaving her mother completely humiliated. Since then, her mother rarely brought her to such tea parties or banquets.
Instead, she hired many teachers to teach her illustration, dancing, painting and other things that a lady should do.
Zhao Baoer left, and Bei Yutang knew what she was doing without having to look.
Sure enough, halfway through the conversation, someone began to perform a new piece they had just learned, playing it for everyone to hear. After she played the last note, she stood up with a hint of pride and bowed slightly to everyone.
