Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Boss of Ma Jia, Gu Shiyin is Online!
"County girl?"
Gu Shiyin’s exquisite and elegant face showed a hint of helpless reproach. "Qiao En, you’re so mischievous, be a bit kinder with your words."
Other people’s reproach might sound like elder’s scolding.
But Gu Shiyin’s reproach only made people feel comfortable. It was a way to show you that she cared about you, protected you, and had your best interest at heart.
Like a natural charm that brings people together.
Thus, Chu Qiaoen didn’t hold back. Instead, she became more spoiled, pointing in the direction of Xi Zuzi and Xi Rubao:
"Aunt Shiyin, it’s those two. I wasn’t wrong, was I? They absolutely look like they’re from a small county. What are they even wearing? No sense of fashion or design at all, utterly outdated! Especially that Xi Zuzi, wearing a ragged white robe, looks like she’s in mourning, horribly ugly!"
She then turned to look at Gu Shiyin’s outfit: an elegant custom-made suit dress, stable Chelsea boots. Sweet yet cool.
Many people in the socialite circle secretly imitate her style.
Chu Qiaoen sincerely exclaimed, "Aunt, you’d look better wrapped in a burlap sack than them!"
Gu Shiyin didn’t comment on that.
She smiled faintly, not taking irrelevant people to heart: "Qiao En, let’s go select jade."
She had to go to the private box first to wait for Bao Gucheng.
She’d already asked Yin Hu to send the invitation card, so this time, the man should give her some face and come, right?
After all, he’d refused so many of her dinner invitations before. He wouldn’t keep declining her forever, would he? They’ve known each other for so many years, and Bao Gucheng was also her father’s student. She was practically his junior apprentice sibling; surely there’s some rapport there.
Chu Qiaoen: "Aunt Shiyin, you’re so magnanimous. I just can’t stand those county girls; they pollute the noble air of the Empire Song, making me uncomfortable!"
Gu Shiyin reassured her, "It’s alright. Without an invitation card, they can’t come in."
Chu Qiaoen’s anger turned into joy: "Right, I almost forgot!
She hooked Gu Shiyin’s arm and walked inside, turning back to make faces at Xi Zuzi and others headed for the door: "Don’t you even know your own worth? How dare you join the fun?"
While hinting to the bodyguard verifying invitation cards at the door: "Check the cards carefully, don’t let those county girls, using fake ones, sneak their way in. I don’t want to breathe the same air as them!"
"Alright, Miss Chu, Miss Gu, please head to the VIP box."
Not far away, Xi Rubao was furious: "Sis, how are the women in the Capital so rude? They call themselves socialites? Ugh! They speak with no class at all."
All this "county girl" talk was no different from how she used to ignorantly think of people from the countryside as bumpkins.
Even she, Little Fish Grass, has corrected herself, yet these so-called socialites are still clueless?
Xi Zuzi casually flipped through the auction pamphlet at the door, eyes skimming over the introductions of all kinds of beautiful jade, speaking lazily: "Yeah, the word spirit will teach them a lesson."
Xi Rubao chuckled, "Right, they’ll soon face the consequences of their actions!"
Nobody understood the power of the word spirit better than she did.
As she was elated, at the front steps, the bodyguard with a stern expression demanded: "Invitation card, please show it!"
Invitation card? They didn’t have any damn invitation card!
Little Fish Grass instantly panicked a bit, tugging on Xi Zuzi’s sleeve: "Sis, what should we do? We’re really going to be mocked by those damned socialites for being overestimating county girls now!"
Already inside the door, Chu Qiaoen indeed turned her head again, gloating: "See, I was right. These poor nobodies from small counties don’t measure up..."
Before she could finish her words.
An airy, clear voice cut off her mockery, resonating in everyone’s ears: "We don’t have an invitation card. But well, Ancestor has this."
Xi Zuzi gently raised her hand, presenting something to everyone’s view—
