She walked up to Gu Jin to introduce herself and toast. When Tong Bingrong, Hu Yue, Feng Hui, and Ma Qiaolan saw this, their expressions turned unpleasant.
Gu Jin looked up and gave Wang Yan a casual glance. She could sense the unabashed hostility emanating from this woman.
She gracefully curled her lips, picked up the wine glass from the table, and raised it towards Wang Yan,
"Miss Wang, pleased to et you."
Gu Jin brought the glass to her lips and took a light sip.
Upon seeing this, Wang Yan looked down at Gu Jin seated in the chair and laughed, "So you still rember ."
"Of course, Miss Wang, your looks are quite distinctive, making a lasting impression." Even at this mont, Gu Jin maintained her friendly deanor.
Those around them perceived that sothing was amiss.
Wang Yan let out a scoffing laugh, turning the wine glass in her hand without any intention of drinking.
"Gu Jin, you co from Qingshan Village, a girl from the countryside with a mud-stained background. To be able to stand in a place ant for high society now, you must have paid quite a price."
After she finished speaking, she scanned the surprised faces of those around her, satisfaction gleaming in her eyes.
As she spoke, the smile on Gu Jin’s face gradually disappeared.
Even An Mingji put down his chopsticks, glaring at Wang Yan with a hostile look.
Anyone could hear the insult implied in Wang Yan’s words.
Wang Yan glanced indifferently at Hu Yue sitting beside Tong Bingrong, taunting, "It’s true what they say, ’you are who you hang out with,’ with such friends, it’s no wonder you do such disgusting things, all nothing but man-chasers!"
As these words were spoken, the hushed conversations around them abruptly ceased.
"Thump, thump, thump..."
A rhythmic sound was heard.
Everyone followed the sound to find Gu Jin leaning back on her chair, drumming her fingers on the table.
Her smile returned, and she spoke kindly, "Miss Wang, what do you an by that?"
"What do I an? I an you are just like your shaless mother, both of you are man-chasers, and even your classmates too!"
As Gu Jin’s apprentice, a privileged mber of the Yu Family, Yu Shuo shot up instantly, ready to stand,
"Yu Shuo!"
Qiu Qianghai held down his temperantal nephew.
Then Tong Bingrong stood up, his voice deep as he said, "Wang Yan, stop ssing around here!"
"Heh!" Receiving the disapproving glances of the table, Wang Yan let out a cold laugh,
Her face adorned with a mocking smile, she pointed at Gu Jin and said to everyone, "Do you know what kind of person this girl’s mother is? She’s soone who bore a child with an unknown father and is still a woman chasing after n. Even after marrying, she didn’t settle down but abandoned her husband and daughter!
What kind of outco does a child from such a woman have! Gu Jin’s achievents today, who knows how many beds she’s climbed! Just look at her face, it’s made for seducing n!"
Then she pointed at Hu Yue, her words cold with unspoken envy, "And her classmate too, another woman chasing after n! Recently married into the Tong Family, thinking a sparrow can beco a phoenix? Failing to imitate and becoming sothing worse!"
Sounds of inhalation ca from around her; most were aware of the recent marriage of the Tong Family’s eldest, but they didn’t expect such a scandal.
Wang Yan’s words were overly direct, a slap in the faces of Gu Jin and the girls she indicated.
Moreover, her behavior was completely inconsistent with her well-educated background.
Qiu Qianghai, Yu Shuo, An Mingji, Jiang Hanyi, and others who heard this, their faces were decidedly sour.
