Mrs. Xu was about to retort, but when the words came to her lips, she fell strangely silent for a moment.

Her daughter Xu Xuanyan never brought her any gifts when she went on a long trip. She often had to beg her for money to buy things.

The smiles on the faces of the other ladies who were watching the fun froze a little.

They also thought of their daughters at home. It's not that they didn't bring gifts, but they didn't bring gifts for them every time they came back from a long trip.

Seeing that Madam Xu was speechless, Ruan Xueling laughed triumphantly, "No wonder, Madam Xu saw the gift Yangyang gave me with her sharp eyes, and she snatched it away directly as if she had never seen the world before. This is taking something without asking, and those who don't know would think that Madam Xu would even steal a bottle of perfume."

Madam Xu stared at Ruan Xueling, almost furious, "You!!"

The younger sister, Mrs. Qi, who was standing next to her, immediately grabbed her and tried to persuade her to calm down.

The more Ruan Xueling was in high spirits these days, the more aggrieved Madam Xu was. How could she calm down after hearing Ruan Xueling's mocking words? "What a joke! It's just a bottle of perfume without any quality certificates. Only you think it's a treasure. Who would appreciate it?"

Mrs. Qi saw her best friend being bullied and stood up, sneering, "When did Gu Yang learn to make perfume? Why haven't I heard of it? I wonder which perfume master did he learn from?"

Mrs. Xu also came to her senses. Whenever Gu Yang learned something new, Ruan Xueling would post it on WeChat Moments to brag about it. If Gu Yang had really learned perfume making, would she not know about it? "Perfumery making is not like flower arrangement or tea art. You can learn from a famous teacher and you will be good at it. Not everyone can learn perfume making." Mrs. Xu said, looking at Mrs. Fu who was drinking coffee leisurely over there, and smiled, "I think Mrs. Fu should have more say in perfume making."

Hearing what Madam Xu said, everyone looked at Madam Fu.

Madam Fu, Fu Mingxiu's mother, was born into a family of perfumers in Beijing. The Fu family had a special status in Jincheng because of their marriage to a family in Beijing.

Mrs. Fu put down her coffee cup and said proudly, "Perfumer is one of the most mysterious professions in the world. There are only about 400 perfumers in the world. It requires a very high sense of smell, and not everyone can say that they can make perfume."

As Mrs. Fu spoke, she glanced at Ruan Xueling meaningfully, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

Ruan Xueling frowned.

Madam Xu and Madam Qi looked at each other and were secretly pleased with themselves.

The others just kept silent and enjoyed watching the fun.

Ever since the Gu family and the Xue family cancelled their engagement and the Xue family went bankrupt, they all privately speculated that the Gu family might marry the Fu family. After all, it was a fact that everyone in the circle could see that Fu Mingxiu was chasing after Gu Yang.

However, Mrs. Fu was very disgusted with these remarks, and her attitude towards Gu Yang was also not good. Although she did not say it explicitly, she also said that the daughter-in-law of the Fu family must be a real daughter of a famous family.

The implication is that Gu Yang is just a fake daughter. How can she be considered a daughter of a famous family? She also wants to enter the Fu family?

Madam Xu covered her mouth and laughed, "Who knows, maybe that girl Gu Yang is gifted? Ruan Xueling, why don't you show us the perfume that your Gu Yang made? It just so happens that our Madam Fu comes from a family of perfumers and is one of the few perfumers in the country."
