Chapter 211: First and Second in Command

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

It wasn’t because Gu Ning was familiar with the woman, but because of Gu Ning’s outstanding memory. Once she had paid attention to something, she could easily keep it in mind.

Within several seconds, two beautiful, noble ladies walked inside. One of them was Hao Ran’s mother, Mrs. Hao, who had met Gu Ning once at Master Qin’s birthday party. And the other female voice was Mrs. Lu.

The lady beside Mrs. Hao had also seen Gu Ning at Master Qin’s birthday party, but they hadn’t spoken to each other.

“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hao, Mrs. Lu!” Gu Qing and Gu Man immediately welcomed them, but they weren’t greeting them just because of their background.

Lin Lijuan, instead, was stunned to hear that Gu Qing and Gu Man were the bosses. How is it possible! Lin Lijuan couldn’t believe her ears.

However, since Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu, who were both from super-rich families, came here, Lin Lijuan greeted and flattered them at once. “Oh, Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu! It’s such an honor to meet you again! You both are so gorgeous and don’t seem to age at all!”

“Isn’t this Mrs. Gu? Why do you judge others in public?” Mrs. Hao asked sarcastically.

Mrs. Hao wasn’t arrogant at all, and she liked to stand up for her friends. In fact, Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu had been to Kamei Beauty Salon twice after Gu Qing and Gu Man became its bosses. They shared many common interests and soon became good friends.

Lin Lijuan sensed Mrs. Hao’s anger, and felt embarrassed, but explained with patience, “Mrs. Hao, please don’t get me wrong. We’re relatives. I knew that they have always lived a hard life, and could barely afford their children’s tuition fees. They have both quit their jobs, and suddenly have money to do skincare. Thus I asked the question simply because I care about them. That’s all.”

Facing Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu, Lin Lijuan didn’t dare to raise her voice. Those two ladies were from super-rich families, but her husband was hardly a successful businessman. She wanted to please them, so she naturally had to leave a good impression on them.

“They’re your relatives?” Mrs. Lu was surprised.

“Yes!” Lin Lijuan replied.

“Since you’re relatives, why didn’t you help them support their children to go to the school? Well, I understand that you don’t have the duty to do so. Maybe because I value family very much, but I would have helped my family whenever they needed me.” Mrs. Lu intentionally criticized Lin Lijuan for being so cold-blooded.

Normally, they wouldn’t criticize others in public, but what Lin Lijuan was doing was so unkind and vicious. She refused to help her relatives, and even hated to see them living a good life.

Although Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu didn’t know much about Gu Qing and Gu Man’s family, they got to know some during small talks with Gu Qing and Gu Man. They were both aware that Gu Qing and Gu Man had worked in factories and had been on a tight budget. Gu Man had even been despised by her family because she had gotten pregnant before marriage, but Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu didn’t care about that at all. They liked Gu Qing’s and Gu Man’s honesty and kindness, and they enjoyed chatting with each other.

As noble ladies, they absolutely had many so-called friends who enjoyed either flattering one another or competing against each other, and they disliked that. They only socialize with them when it was necessary.

Hearing what Mrs. Lu said, Lin Lijuan felt more embarrassed, and she also knew that Mrs. Lu did it on purpose.

She hated Gu Qing and Gu Man so much, because they had no intention to help her out. However, since Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu were here, Lin Lijuan didn’t dare to blame Gu Qing and Gu Man.
