Hearing Maureen's words, the three ladies' faces turned pale again: "..."
No, how could this be possible...
The Gu family is wealthy and powerful, and they only have one heir, Gu Yibei. No matter how they think about it, the Gu family will never agree that the future head of the Gu family is a commoner.
Maureen was only being nice to Miss Ji for the sake of her family's reputation, that's all. How could she really like her?
Impossible, absolutely not...
They kept brainwashing themselves, but when they saw the doting look in Maureen's eyes when she looked at Ji Zhinan, it was like someone slapped them in the face, forcing them to admit the truth.
Gu Yibei held Ji Zhinan's hand, and the coldness of his palm made him frown.
The weather in Country Y was a bit cold. Although the sun was out, there was still a cool breeze. Ji Zhinan was only wearing a skirt. Although the skirt was very large, Gu Yibei felt that she was freezing.
There is a kind of cold that makes your husband feel that you are cold.
"Mother." Gu Yibei frowned, his tone as cold as the weather: "Don't let her wear so little next time."
Maureen blinked and explained, "My mother is meeting a guest today, so she asked Nannan to..."
"As long as I like her, she doesn't need to please anyone."
Gu Yibei's sharp black eyes swept over the three noble ladies. "My wife, Gu Yibei, even if others treat her like grass, in my heart she is my treasure. It doesn't matter what others think. The more they look down on Nan Nan, the more I will hold her in my heart."
Maureen was not a fool. She knew that her son was not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business. Now that he could say this, it proved that something must have happened.
She looked at Gu Yibei and asked, "Son, what's wrong?"
Gu Yibei said calmly, "Mother, there are people who know better than me."
After saying that, he took Ji Zhinan's hand and strode away.
After her son and his wife left, Maureen sensed something was amiss. Her eyes suddenly turned cold as she looked at the three ladies.
The three of them looked pale, but they still smiled and tried to explain.
"Maureen, Yibei misunderstood. This is really just a misunderstanding."
"Yeah, we don't mean any harm..."
Maureen didn't even bother to listen to their explanations. She turned to the maid and said, "Tell me everything that happened when I was away. Tell me the truth, word for word!"
She was indeed not at the scene just now, but there was a maid in the Gu family who witnessed what happened before and after.
"Yes, ma'am." A maid came out, bowed to Maureen first, and then respectfully reported what had just happened.
From the three ladies maliciously provoking Ji Zhinan after Maureen left, to Mrs. Wagner's anger after Ji Zhinan retorted, to Gu Yibei's appearance...
Every word, every detail.
After hearing the last sentence, Maureen's face became frighteningly gloomy, forming a sharp contrast with the pale faces of the other three.
Her daughter-in-law, Maureen, was actually humiliated!
The other two ladies were fine, but Mrs. Wagner was really scared out of her wits.
She swallowed and explained in a low voice: "Maureen, I didn't mean that, you know..."
"I don't know." Maureen interrupted coldly, "May I ask what Mrs. Wagner means? Are you using the excuse of looking down on my daughter-in-law to actually look down on my Gu family?"
"No, no..." Mrs. Wagner's face turned even paler.
"Mo, Mo Lin, I just feel that Miss Ji might not be that simple."
