Everyone surrounded Ji Wanmei and showered her with praise.
They showered her with compliments, each one unique, making Ji Wanmei feel quite embarrassed.
She said, "Thank you all for your kind words and for appreciating my humble work. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future."
Mrs. Luo glanced at Lu Zhuoxuan beside her and joked, "Then we'd better hurry up and take advantage of the fact that Xiao Wanmei hasn't finished her apprenticeship yet. If we need to make a few more clothes, we should ask her to do them. I'm afraid that later, some people will feel sorry for her and control her, and won't let her do these tailoring and mending jobs for others."
Lu Zhuoxuan touched his nose and said helplessly, "Godmother, what are you saying? This is Wanmei's career and hobby. Who would stop her from doing it?"
Mrs. Luo covered her mouth and laughed: "Oh dear, look at me! I haven't even said who it is yet, and Zhuo Xuan is already getting impatient."
Lu Zhuoxuan, fearing that Ji Wanmei would misunderstand, whispered to her, "Junior Sister, don't pay attention to Godmother and the others. They just like to make fun of young girls."
Ji Wanmei smiled faintly: "It's nothing."
Ji Wanmei actually understood the mentality of these wives in the elite circles quite well. Every day, they just met people for tea, played cards, went shopping, raised pets, and dressed up.
When I have free time, I attend gatherings within my circle, where we compare and show off to each other, build relationships, and strengthen our network.

Ji Wanmei never wanted to be an empty vase, all show and no substance.
She wanted to be like her mother, like Grandma Song.
They have their own talents, their own careers, and their own lifelong pursuits.
No matter what age you are, you will always have something you love and something you dream of.
Instead of revolving around men when you're young, you end up in middle age worrying about younger women revolving around their men.
When you get old and look back, you'll realize that you've never truly owned anything in your life.
Ji Wanmei knew very well that the reason she was here was because of Grandma Song, not because of Lu Zhuoxuan.
Therefore, whenever she interacted with these ladies, they couldn't help but tease her and Lu Zhuoxuan, as if they all knew what kind of ambiguous relationship she and Lu Zhuoxuan had.
Ji Wanmei always just smiled and remained silent, never bothering to explain.
Because for a group of people with deeply ingrained mindsets, they simply cannot understand how Ji Wanmei could give up a handsome, wealthy, and well-born prodigy like Lu Zhuoxuan and instead spend time and effort learning that useless Shu embroidery.
How could a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?
