Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 926

Chapter 926: Chapter 926: Have You Seen Her?

Lin Zhiyi looked at Madam Gao under the gaze of others.

The newcomer was dressed quite differently from the surrounding ladies.

She wore relatively plain clothes, with a single-color fur draped over her arm.

There seemed to be no jewelry on her, but in fact, a single necklace was worth a fortune.

The overall look was more like the attire of a noblewoman from Jing City.

Combining it with Madam Jia’s introduction of Madam Gao.

Lin Zhiyi instantly understood that although Madam Gao was married to Lan City, her heart remained in Jing City.

No wonder she went through the trouble of ordering high heels from Jing City.

Lin Zhiyi’s purpose today was not on Madam Gao.

So she immediately smiled.

"Madam, you misunderstood, the Second Young Master of Jing City and President Jia are good friends, and this was a gift from the Second Madam to Madam Jia. Seeing that I had nothing to match with, Madam Jia kindly let me wear them."

Madam Jia immediately chimed in, "Indeed, the Second Madam is too kind."

That other lady who spoke earlier tried to smooth things over, "Madam Gao, why are you so angry as soon as you arrived? Who offended you?"

Madam Gao pursed her lips, staring at Lin Zhiyi’s shoes with obvious displeasure.

Or rather, she seemed to look down on everyone.

Lin Zhiyi immediately gave Madam Jia a look.

Madam Jia said, "The Second Madam said she could get a hold of these shoes. If Madam Gao likes them, I’ll ask the Second Madam another day."

Hearing this, Madam Gao’s expression improved slightly.

"I didn’t expect you to be so close to the Second Madam, Madam Jia? Thank you then."

"It’s nothing. Let’s watch the show." Madam Jia smiled.

After sitting down again, Lin Zhiyi noticed that Madam Gao changed her seat to sit beside her.

She nodded and smiled.

Madam Gao seemed to have something to say but didn’t speak and directly chatted with others.

Madam Jia tried to start a conversation, "It seems we haven’t seen Madam Sun in a long time."

"Yes, it’s been a while. We don’t know what she’s up to."

"She used to be eager to join in. The other day, I couldn’t find anyone to play mahjong, called her, and found out she blocked me."

"She’s finally made it; why would she need us now? It’s a pity we used to think she was obedient and taught her many things."

"Exactly. She used to ask a lot about Jing City, and Madam Gao once told her not to have delusions. Men from Jing City are not as undiscriminating as those in Lan City."

"She’s so ambitious. Once, she even let it slip that she wanted to develop in Jing City."

Madam Gao sneered, "With no backing, why not grab the money and run? She’s probably had surgery and found a man by now."

"Did she really get surgery?" Boss Feng, who was with them yesterday, asked in surprise.

"Would I lie to you? The day she went abroad, she was sitting behind me, confirming her surgery on a call before takeoff. Now, you probably wouldn’t recognize her if she stood in front of you." Madam Gao chuckled, "Always wanting shortcuts. I don’t think her good times will last much longer."

After this, the others nodded, not very concerned about Madam Sun.

Lin Zhiyi looked at the side, realizing that Madam Gao knew many things unknown to others.

She glanced at Madam Jia.

Madam Jia rubbed her forehead, puzzled, "What’s this Madam Sun’s name again? My memory fails me, I’ve forgotten."

"I think her last name is Xia, Xia Chun?"

"No, it’s Xia Chun, like pure, I saw her fill it in when she joined."

This group of ladies has an organization, traveling together, watching shows, exchanging useful resources and information, etc.

So one needs to fill out information to join.

The leading lady said, "Yes, Xia Chun. She’s quite capable, but it’s a pity she’s an orphan. If her family background was better, I think she’d be quite successful."

Though she said so, Madam Gao’s tone clearly softened a bit.

Lin Zhiyi continued, "I caught your accent just now; you’re from Jing City too, right? This style is completely different from here."

Madam Gao swirled her teacup, "I believe you have an eye now. Forget it, since we’re fellow townsfolk, I won’t bother with you."

"Madam Gao, you are magnanimous, worthy of being the noblewoman from Jing City, completely different from that... Xia what’s-her-name you mentioned."

Lin Zhiyi deliberately flattered her.

Madam Gao lifted her chin, "Madam Sun Xia Chun, do others not know? I understand her tricks all too well. While others thought the Sun Family fancied her, she actually presented herself. Among so many men, she’d kneel in front of them, doing who knows what sleazy thing."

Madam Gao didn’t explicitly say, but judging from her contemptuous expression.

Xia Wan likely actively followed Old Mister Sun and even did some explicit things in public.

Lin Zhiyi tightly gripped her cup, finding it hard to believe.

She maintained composure, "Is that so? Then why did you say she still wants to find men?"

"Heh, following in her predecessor’s footsteps, a pity..." Madam Gao laughed mockingly.

"..."

Lin Zhiyi felt stunned inside.

It took a while for her to grasp the true meaning of "following in her predecessor’s footsteps."

Madam Gao sipped her tea, "She’s afraid I’d say something, making me look like the bully, but I never wanted to dirty my hands. Women like her will ultimately self-destruct."

She continued, "See? Where is she now? If not scurrying away from Lan City to find another man to lean on?"

Lin Zhiyi forced an awkward smile.

It seemed Madam Gao was completely unaware of Xia Wan’s current status.

If Xia Wan was truly just a woman relying on men, as Madam Gao claimed, how could she have her current achievements?

Madam Gao suspiciously questioned, "Why are you so interested in her? Have you met her in Jing City?"
