Hearing Madam Gu’s words, these wealthy ladies who fought with the mistresses of their husbands all day were angry and jealous, but they still smiled and nodded in agreement. “Oh, is that so? Can you really develop such tender skin by eating and sleeping well? Madam Gu, are you lying to us?”
“Madam Gu, are you talking about those imported high-end bird’s nests? Or those delicacies?” Someone smiled tentatively and said, “To be honest, I’m tired of eating these imported blood bird s nests, delicacies, and so on. 1 haven’t seen my skin become much better!”
“That’s right. I’ve been importing these blood bird s nests every day, eating delicacies, and importing high-end fruits. They’ve never stopped, and 1 don’t feel my skin getting better.”
The group of women chattered about how they were eating imported high-end goods and using imported high-end branded cosmetics. They all said that they were useless for the skin.
In reality, they were also showing off to each other.
How luxurious and extravagant their living expenses were!
It also seemed to be indirectly telling everyone how much their husband doted on them and how much money they could spend.
…..
Indeed, to these rich ladies, money was just a number. However, money, no matter how much it was spent, was reflected in the man’s consideration and love for them.
“Madam Gu, Chairman Gu loves you so much. He must have secretly gotten you something good. Tell us.”
That’s right. Tell us, 1 11 get my man to get me some too.”
“Madam Gu, every time 1 see you, 1 find that your skin is better than before. You must have used some high-end products. Otherwise, at our age, it’s impossible for our skin to improve.”
Good skin could cover up one s ugliness. Only by having good skin could one look younger and prettier! What they said to Shi Yashu wasn’t entirely flattery and flattery.
Recently, the Gu couple had been attending more and more banquets. Many CEOs of companies would actively participate in the collaboration with the Gu Corporation and interact with the Gu couple. Those who were not invited would also think of ways to participate.
Therefore, in the past half a year or so, such exchange meetings organized by business associations were very efficient. Not only did they strengthen the friendship of local entrepreneurs, but they also promoted friendly development between businesses.
Hence, the more the business association was organized, the more insightful they became. They invited Gu Jianguo of the Gu Corporation every time!
Of course, although Gu Jianguo and his wife had attended various cocktail parties frequently in the past half a year, they did not attend every one of them!
They would take their pick!
This was a business exchange meeting. Many business CEOs would find a good relationship with them. After asking around, the Gu couple would attend. Naturally, the local business CEOs would not want to miss this opportunity!
As for them, they were just like this.
On the one hand, they were secretly mocking Gu Jianguo for not having a son, but on the other hand, they were trying to please him!
Madam Gu, who was surrounded by Madams, smiled elegantly and calmly.
She said, “Why would 1 lie to you?”
At this point, her beautiful eyes lit up. She smiled mysteriously and said, “Actually, I didn’t eat imported blood bird’s nest, delicacies, or imported fruits. 1 only ate my own green vegetables!”
“Ha, Madam Gu, does your family know how to grow vegetables?” Madam Li asked curiously. “Where does your family grow them? Could it be in the backyard of the villa? Can the vegetables you grow really be beautifying?”
Tm afraid that won’t do!” Madam Chen asked suspiciously, “If only green vegetables can beautify, then we women will use less cosmetics.”
In fact, she came from the countryside.
She was quite knowledgeable about farming.
She knew better than all the women present whether green vegetables were good for beauty!
If green vegetables could beautify, there would be no ugly girls in the countryside.
But in fact, there were even more ugly girls in the countryside. They were dark-skinned and had been tanned by the sun. If these green vegetables could beautify, could the girls be tanned by the sun?
However, Madam Chen would not say these things.
Once she mentioned the countryside, she would definitely be mocked and despised by the noblewomen present.
However, there were a few people present who knew Madam Chen’s background. Moreover, their relationship with Madam Chen was not that friendly.
“Madam Chen, don’t you know better than us if these green vegetables can be beautified? I heard that before your family prospered, you were working in the countryside. You should have planted and eaten a lot of these green vegetables. Logically speaking, after eating my green vegetables, your skin should be very good, but your skin seems to be tanned…” Madam Liu covered her mouth and seemed to be embarrassed. “Pm sorry, Madam Chen. 1 don’t mean to mock you for being a country bumpkin. It’s just that you won’t mind, right?”
When Madam Chen heard this, she immediately said angrily, “Madam Liu, what do you mean? Don’t think that I’m from the countryside and don’t understand that you’re mocking me. Hmph, let me tell you, I won t go back to the countryside to farm now, nor will I eat the green vegetables grown in the countryside. What 1 eat are imported organic vegetables and fruits that my husband bought from overseas.’’
The Chen family was a nouveau-riche and was clearly incompatible with the real upper class.
However, they relied on an opportunity to become a famous company in Sea City.
They were still qualified to attend such a business cocktail party.
Madam Liu’s expression changed. Then, she said awkwardly, “Madam Chen, why are you so angry? 1 was just saying.’’
However, she cursed in his heart, “Country bumpkins are indeed country bumpkins. They don’t have any manners at all and still want to integrate into the upper -class noblewomen s circle. What a fool s dream!”
Madam Liu didn’t even think about how uncultured she seemed when she was mocking another for being a country bumpkin.
Madam Chen’s expression immediately became arrogant. “Hmph, 1’11 forgive you this time!”
Madam Liu’s expression turned even uglier. She was about to flare up when another noblewoman pulled her and gave her a look.
When Madam Liu saw Madam Gu’s half-smile, her throat tightened as if she was the source of entertainment. She immediately suppressed her anger and instantly became an elegant and indifferent noblewoman.
Madam Liu smoothed her exquisite hairstyle and said arrogantly, “Hmph, 1 won’t argue with a shrew!”
When Madam Chen heard Madam Liu call her a shrew, her anger rose again.
She asked angrily, “Liu E, who are you calling a shrew? You’re the shrew.”
Madam Liu said disdainfully, “i didn’t name you. Why are you so anxious to make a connection? Are you admitting that you’re a shrew?”
Madam Chen was speechless.. She was so angry!
