Chapter 766: Who Did She Think She Was?
Was this Zhong Qianqian supposed to come from a powerful background?
However, she looked just like a country b.u.mpkin from Jiang District. How powerful could her background be?
The social circle of the third-tier wealthy families had long been stirred up by this incident that was Zhong Qianqian. Although everyone appeared calm on the surface, they had privately investigated the new Gu family’s young lady.
The information that they found shocked them to the core.
Zhong Qianqian was a complete country b.u.mpkin and a pauper too.
“Young Lady Gu!”
Although they despised Zhong Qianqian, Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu greeted her politely when they saw her descending the stairs.
Zhong Qianqian glanced at the two of them with her nose raised up high. She ignored them and sat on the sofa with a grim expression, making things so awkward for Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu that they cursed internally.
They threw Mrs. Gu with an equally questioning gaze.
How Qin Yun wished that the chandelier on the ceiling would just fall and crush Zhong Qianqian to death.
The Gu family had yet to settle scores with her, but she was putting on airs. Who did she think she was?!
However, Qin Yun still put on the mask of a loving mother-in-law.
Sitting tenderly next to Zhong Qianqian, Qin Yun asked, “Qianqian, what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood?”
Zhong Qianqian was only testing Mrs. Gu. Now that she was almost done with her testing, she sighed.
“Mom, I suddenly received a call. I’m not in a good mood, so I don’t want to go out anymore. Can you call Brother Mingzhe to come back? I have something to tell him.”
“This…” Qin Yun expressed her dilemma. “But you see, we’ve already agreed on it beforehand. Mrs. Wu and Miss Wu are already here. If we don’t go, that won’t be good, will it? Mingzhe will be back tonight. If you have anything to tell him, you can talk to him after he returns at night. ”
However, Zhong Qianqian did not reserve any face for Qin Yun.
“I must tell Brother Mingzhe now. If he can’t come back now, I’ll head back.”
Currently, Miss Wu was extremely displeased.
Zhong Qianqian’s family background was not as good as hers, and her looks were not as good as hers. If Gu Mingzhe chose Chen Sisi in the end, she would not have thought much of it. However, she could not understand how she could have lost to this vulgar woman who was inferior to her in all aspects and did not even know basic social etiquette.
Hence, she said, “Zhong Qianqian, you really think too highly of yourself! Do you really think that you can rest easy after marrying Brother Mingzhe? So many people married and divorced. Being a woman who’s inferior in all aspects, your ancestors must have lighted up eight lifetimes of incense before you could marry into the Gu family. Instead of fulfilling your role as a proper Young Lady Gu, you’re giving people the cold shoulder. Who do think you are?”
“Minjun!”
Seeing how Qin Yun did not tell Zhong Qianqian off even though things had gotten so severe, Mrs. Wu understood that something was amiss. She hurriedly shouted at her daughter.
After all, Qin Yun’s reputation in the circle was infamous—she was known to lap up to the strong and trample on the weak. She despised women who were inferior to her no matter what. Forget about how Zhong Qianqian who had nothing, she would even look on with despise at the daughter of a third-tier wealthy family. This was because she felt that her son was extraordinarily excellent. Therefore, since he was looking for someone, it must be a girl from a second-tier wealthy family.
Indeed, this matter was clearly Zhong Qianqian’s fault. However, after Mrs. Wu shouted at her daughter, Qin Yun still did not show any intention of scolding Zhong Qianqian.
Therefore, Mrs. Wu guessed that Zhong Qianqian had either grasped the Gu family’s weakness or had an extraordinary ident.i.ty. It was just that they had not found anything about it yet.
