Chapter 1334: Cross Swords (2)
When Yang s.h.i.+yun ascertained that her clothes were not from any of the luxury brands, she dismissed them.
Gu Qingyao had clearly taken care of her hair. It was soft and jet-black, and its ends curled gently. Her hairstyle was very simple and not ostentatious at all. Half her hair was caught up behind her head. When she turned to look at Mo Yang, Yang s.h.i.+yun could see an ornamental hair clip behind her head.
The hair clip was decorated with some silk, and some lace flowers and some s.h.i.+ny things sparkled among them. They were cut like diamonds, and the light they reflected glittered in all directions.
She did not know whether they were made of crystal or gla.s.s, but the overall effect was very nice.
Yang s.h.i.+yun subconsciously fingered the diamond bracelet on her wrist. She felt that anything she was wearing was worth more than Gu Qingyao’s entire outfit. No, in fact, it was worth more than several outfits.
And she was Madam Mo!
Wasn’t she afraid to embarra.s.s the Mo family by dressing like that?
The only thing that Gu Qingyao could be proud of was probably her fair skin. Gu Qingyao was dressed very conservatively and Yang s.h.i.+yun could only see the skin on her face, neck and wrists.
It was very fair and smooth and was covered with fine powder. Her skin was the epitome of rosiness. More importantly, her skin gave her the air of a young woman.
For most people, even if they maintained their youthful looks, a woman’s state would still reveal the pa.s.sing of time. At least, younger girls would mature. But Gu Qingyao’s skin gave her the air of a young girl. She was more than thirty years old, but the skin around her eyes was still firm, with absolutely no wrinkles.
Yang s.h.i.+yun’s heart sank a little.
But no matter how pretty she was, it did not change the fact that she was old. Besides, she was an ignorant b.u.mpkin with no abilities.
Yang Yujiao smiled and made the introductions. “Aunty, this is my aunt. She has just returned from her studies overseas. Isn’t she pretty?”
Gu Qingyao knew that the fas.h.i.+onably dressed girl had been studying her from afar. Gu Qingyao was rather surprised when she saw the hostility and disdain in the girl’s eyes.
To tell the truth, few in the capital dared to despise her or had the ability to despise her. This was her first time encountering such an expression in many years.
“Your aunt? The youngest daughter of the Yang family’s eldest son? She’s really quite pretty!”
...
Gu Qingyao answered peacefully. She showed no sign of surprise.
Yang s.h.i.+yun was rather taken aback.
Most women were envious when they saw her.
Yang Yujiao smiled and replied, “That’s right! She’s my aunt. She’s been studying overseas all this while. My aunt is very capable. She has a degree from a prestigious university. She’s very knowledgeable after returning from her studies overseas. She a prominent woman of the modern age.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She smiled calmly without speaking.
Yang s.h.i.+yun maintained her silence, but Yang Yujiao continued talking. “Aunty, my aunt is amazing. She studied medicine overseas. She learnt Western medicine! Now, Western medicine is in vogue, and Chinese medicine is outdated. My aunt especially went overseas to learn the most advanced techniques.
“She’s also very good at running a business. She’s so young, but she owns many businesses. She’s earned a lot of money easily. Look at the clothes she’s wearing and the handbag she’s carrying. They’re all very, very expensive. Most people in China would not dare to dream of such things. Any article of clothing that she owns is equivalent to an ordinary Chinese person’s monthly or even annual expenditure.
“And look at her bracelet. It’s from a top luxury brand. These s.h.i.+ny things at the top are all diamonds. This bracelet alone costs more than three hundred thousand yuan!”
As Yang Yujiao spoke, she looked enviously at Yang s.h.i.+yun’s bracelet.
It was so expensive that she dared not think about it.
