Like perfumers, perfume tasters must have an extremely strong sense of smell and be able to recognize more than 2,000 scents, but there are no more than 500 such people in the world.
Mrs. Fu was able to become a perfumer thanks to the training she received from a family of perfumers.
Hearing what Madam Xu said, Madam Fu just smiled indifferently. That's not perfume making at all, at most it's just mixing the spices and essential oils together like playing house.
Ruan Xueling was aware of Mrs. Xu's flattery. Although she privately thought that the perfume her daughter mixed was nice, she was also afraid that if she showed it to a famous person like Mrs. Fu, she would be laughed at and fall into Mrs. Xu's trap.
So she snorted and said, "I didn't say Yangyang is a perfumer. She's just playing around. What's important is not the fragrance, but the intention."
However, when she said this, Mrs. Xu felt that she was afraid, and felt more and more that the perfume made by Gu Yang was not up to standard.
As a mortal enemy, she knew how to irritate Ruan Xueling, and said provocatively: "Ruan Xueling, are you scared? Yes, Gu Yang is a wild sparrow who accidentally fell into the phoenix's nest. Even if he was raised by a wealthy family, he is still a sparrow at heart. What kind of perfume can he make? I'm afraid that floral water would smell better than this."
Ruan Xueling's forehead veins throbbed, and her eyes were ignited with anger: "He Lu, don't go too far!"
He Lu is Mrs. Xu's name.
"Mrs. Xu, your words are too harsh." Mrs. Mo frowned.
Mrs. Tang also said: "It is important for everyone to have afternoon tea together and be calm and peaceful."
How could Madam Xu stop when she saw that things were going well? Today, she was going to make Ruan Xueling lose face and relieve her anger! Madam Xu raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of her lips: "What I said is also true, Ruan Xueling, you haven't sprayed the perfume that Gu Yang gave you yet, right? Why, aren't you very touched by the filial piety of this fake daughter, but you don't even have the courage to spray the perfume she made for you? If you have the guts, spray this perfume in front of me!"
Ruan Xueling's anger was rising. She was so angry that she opened the cap of the perfume and sprayed it on Mrs. Xu's face. "Spray it if you want. This is what you asked. Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
The perfume sprays out in mist, and countless tiny water droplets float in the air, spreading the fragrance.
Although Ruan Xueling was provoked by her and sprayed perfume, she sprayed it towards her face, and some of the perfume sprayed into her eyes.
Although the amount was not much, the brief irritating pain still made her cover her eyes.
"Ruan Xueling, you lunatic! Why are you spraying me in the eyes?"
Mrs. Qi next to her immediately took out wet wipes from her bag and wiped her eyes.
The others also looked at Mrs. Xu with concern.
"Are you okay? If you spray it into your eyes, you won't go blind, right?"
Facing Madam Xu's angry rebuke, Ruan Xueling snorted coldly: "Didn't you ask me to spray perfume in front of you? I met your request, but now you are being pretentious?"
The ladies who were on good terms with Ruan Xueling also echoed this.
Seeing that they were arguing again, Mrs. Tang rubbed her brows and tried to stop them. "If you have anything to say, just talk it out. Sit down. Butler, serve tea to the ladies again."
After Ruan Xueling sat down and calmed down, she smelled the fragrance in the air and realized that it smelled pretty good. It felt no worse than those famous brand perfumes.
Mrs. Fu, who originally looked disdainful and thought it was a joke, stopped drinking her coffee leisurely when she smelled the aroma floating in the air, and her eyes gradually changed.
