Capítulo 2097: Chapter 2101: Looking Down on Others
“Then be careful, call anyti if you need anything,” Fang Yao sounded a bit worried, but he respected her decision.
Ho Yung nodded and walked alone towards the banquet hall on the first floor.
The Jian Family was considered a third-rate family in Beijing.
Mother Jian had a high opinion of herself, always considering herself a lady of a prestigious household.
But Ho Yung had been working for the Gu Family for a while, interacting with the true elites of Beijing. She herself was the daughter of the first-rate Lin Family, so she felt nothing towards families like the Jian’s.
As for Dong itong… the Dong Family was also a third-rate family in Beijing.
However, the Jian Family was a leader among third-rate families, while the Dong Family was slightly inferior.
She could see through Mother Jian’s ntality.
A daughter-in-law from a well-known family, but slightly inferior to one’s own, could aid her son without being too strong to control—a preference for many mothers-in-law.
It was clear from the conversation with Mother Jian that she was very satisfied with Dong itong.
As for herself… ha.
If she told Mother Jian about her true background, she believed that Mother Jian would definitely discard Dong itong and choose her instead.
But why should she do that?
She didn’t care about material things, she wasn’t short of money; what she wanted was genuineness.
Jian Ruzhou was so disgusting that even if he had a change of heart now and knelt at her feet begging, she wouldn’t take another look at him.
She lost herself in thought but continued walking, soon reaching the first-floor hall.
“Hey, isn’t this Dr. Ho? Dr. Ho, what brings you here?”
As soon as she stepped inside, an ironic voice rang in her ears.
Ho Yung paused and looked over.
Gao Yuanyang, Zhang Yan, Lo Mingfei… Jian Ruzhou’s three close childhood friends.
Seeing them, one had to ntion that Dong itong, Jian Ruzhou, and these three grew up together.
Ever since childhood, Dong itong had been fond of Jian Ruzhou; it was well-known.
Jian Ruzhou had always been very fond of Dong itong too.
But once, by chance, Jian Ruzhou crossed paths with her.
Jian Ruzhou fell in love with her at first sight and pursued her relentlessly.
A year later, she was moved by Jian Ruzhou and beca his girlfriend.
Though Jian Ruzhou pursued her, in the eyes of his friends, she was seen as soone who targeted his family status and used scheming thods to charm him, becoming the third party in his and Dong itong’s relationship.
These three… especially Gao Yuanyang, would mock and jeer at her whenever they saw her.
She looked gentle but never had a submissive personality.
Even if they mocked her with just one sentence, she wouldn’t take it lying down.
Every eting between her and Jian Ruzhou’s three friends ended in unpleasantness.
Over ti, Jian Ruzhou stopped letting them et her.
Today was the joyful day of Jian Ruzhou and Dong itong’s engagent, so naturally, Gao Yuanyang and the other two were present.
This was to be expected, not a chance encounter.
Ho Yung chuckled, revealing an invitation card: “Aunt Zhou invited .”
Jian Ruzhou’s mother’s surna was Zhou.
The “Zhou” in Jian Ruzhou’s na was derived from the homophonic sound of his mother’s surna.
“Aunt Zhou?” Gao Yuanyang raised an eyebrow with a mocking smile, “Dr. Ho calls her so affectionately, surely you’re not thinking of serving the sa husband as Tongtong, are you?”
“You’re overthinking,” Ho Yung said straightforwardly, “I’m here to bid Jian Ruzhou farewell, just to say goodbye and then I’m leaving.”
Gao Yuanyang sneered, expressing disbelief, “Dressed up so beautifully just to say goodbye to Brother Zhou? I think you’re here to beg him to change his mind.”
