Blackening starts from the golden years

Chapter 235 Gu Jia and his wife circle
Looking at the jewelry on the counter, Wang Manni's eyes flashed with desire. Then she raised her eyes to look at Yuan Xudong and smiled shyly:

"This jewelry is too expensive, I can't have it."

"So do you like it?"

Yuan Xudong asked with a smile, glanced at him, Wang Manni nodded gently, she blushed and smiled shyly:
"I must like such beautiful jewelry, but I can't have it because it's too expensive and I can't afford it."

"I think it's not expensive. You deserve better and more beautiful jewelry."

Looking at the shy Wang Manni, Yuan Xudong smiled slightly and said:

"Take me to the VIP room. I want to order a better and more beautiful set of jewelry for my girlfriend, is that okay?"

"Xudong..."

When she heard that Yuan Xudong wanted to customize a million-level high-end jewelry for herself, Wang Manni was immediately moved. Like many women, she felt that she could be so valued, just like a betrothal gift, the more she gave Just pay more attention to her.

In fact, these values ​​​​are just a fig leaf, and what is hidden underneath is a priceless love transaction.

Back to the subject, at this moment, Wang Manni covered her mouth and was so moved. If she hadn't been in the store, she would have thrown herself into Yuan Xudong's arms, offering her soft and white body to him in return, allowing him to pity her as he pleased.

Hearing that Yuan Xudong was going to customize high-end jewelry worth over one million yuan for Wang Manni, Nancy and the others also became excited, watching the excitement and making noises. In such a warm atmosphere, Yuan Xudong walked up to Wang Manni. He smiled slightly and said:

"Let's go, take me to the VIP room."

"Hmm~"

Wang Manni hummed softly, and with Nancy and others envious and Linda's envious eyes, she led Yuan Xudong into the VIP room.

……

In the VIP room.

The door has been closed, and Yuan Xudong and Wang Manni are sitting next to each other on the sofa.

"Xudong, this jewelry is from the Fanmeng series, and all the gems on it are..."

Wang Manni introduced the jewelry catalog to Yuan Xudong. After she finished speaking, Yuan Xudong asked with a smile:

"Like it?"

"Hmm~"

Wang Manni hummed softly, she raised her eyes and looked at Yuan Xudong and said shyly:
"I like it, but the price is too expensive, costing millions."

"Not expensive."

Yuan Xudong smiled, put his hand into Wang Manni's white shirt and said with a wicked smile:
"Manni, tell me you want it, okay?"

Wang Manni cooed softly, she raised her eyes and glanced at the naughty Yuan Xudong, and said shyly with a blushing face:
"Xudong, I, I want..."

"Okay, then I'll make a set."

"Don't, don't be here, okay?"

"Okay, let's go home, shall we?"

Yuan Xudong kissed Wang Manni's sensitive earlobe and smiled softly:

"I'm waiting for you at home. Come back soon."

"Hmm~"

Wang Manni hummed softly, her pretty face flushed with embarrassment, but her heart felt sweet, and she wanted to have a loving relationship with Yuan Xudong to comfort her excitement.

……

After paying by swiping his card at the cashier, Yuan Xudong left the Misia store.

Shortly after he left, Wang Manni found the deputy store manager and wanted to take half a day off.

"You want to take half a day off?"

"Ah."

Wang Manni nodded slightly. Seeing her expression of love, the deputy store manager couldn't help but smile:

"Then go ahead and have fun."

"Vice shop~~"

Wang Manni blushed and acted coquettishly. She looked at the deputy store manager and thanked her, then went to the employee changing room to change clothes, and then rushed home impatiently. As she ran, the breeze blew her long hair. Beautiful hair.

……

When she returned home, Wang Manni jumped directly into Yuan Xudong's arms. She put her arms around his neck and kissed his lips passionately. Yuan Xudong held her in his arms and walked to the bedroom. When he entered the bedroom, he threw her directly on the bed and pounced on her.

"Ah..."

……

After a spring rain, Yuan Xudong hugged Wang Manni and lay on the bed to rest. Wang Manni's body was covered with a thin quilt, and her round and white shoulders were exposed outside the quilt, which was really beautiful.

Nestling in Yuan Xudong's arms, Wang Manni raised her eyes and looked at him, her face full of happiness and sweetness and she said shyly:
"Xudong, you are so kind to me, thank you."

"Why are you thanking me? I'm your boyfriend. I'm not supposed to be nice to you."

Yuan Xudong smiled and said, while he was talking sweet words to Wang Manni, he was happily playing with her tender white jade.

Soon, Yuan Xudong walked out of bed with Wang Manni in his arms, and he pressed her against the floor-to-ceiling window of the balcony.

"Uh-huh……"

……

On the other side, Gu Jia's house.

Mrs. Wang called Gu Jia and said that she would take her to participate in the wife's circle activities and asked her to prepare well and dress more formally.

At this time, Aunt Chen brought two long skirts. She looked at Gu Jia and asked:
"Jiajia, which outfit are you wearing?"

"Um……"

Gu Jia looked at two pieces of clothing, one was light green and conservative, and the other was blue and sexy, with high slits and a deep V neckline. After thinking for a while, Gu Jia chose the blue one. She looked at Aunt Chen and smiled:

"How about the blue one."

"Okay, then I'll iron it for you."

"Well, thank you, Sister Chen."

After a while, Aunt Chen brought several more brand-name bags. She looked at Gu Jia and asked:

"Jiajia, which bag do you want?"

"Um……"

Looking at several bags held by Aunt Chen, Gu Jia thought for a moment and said:

"Just the black chain bag."

"Ok."

After Gu Jia was ready, she went to Mrs. Wang's house on the top floor and went to participate in the group activities of the wife's circle with her.

……

Mrs. Circle activity venue.

After getting out of the car, Mrs. Wang introduced to Gu Jia:
"The external property rights of this area belong to the government. Only this building belongs to Mrs. Li's family. Her ancestors were among the first to do physical business. Later, her descendants also became very capable and went into all walks of life. This is not the case now. They have been rich for three generations and have a lot of business in their hands. People like Mrs. Li are the focus of the wife circle."

After giving Gu Jia a brief introduction to the wife's circle event and the basic situation of Mrs. Li's family who was responsible for providing the venue, Mrs. Wang took her into Mrs. Li's bungalow.

This kind of old bungalow is a product of the last century. Although it looks very old and not as magnificent as the Grand Hyatt Mansion, it is a symbol of heritage. Most people with money cannot buy such an old bungalow. As Mrs. Wang said, the external property rights of the old-fashioned western-style buildings in this area are owned by the government, and only Mrs. Li's family owns one here.

Entering the room, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li greeted them:

"Everyone is here, Mrs. Li. You are so beautifully dressed today. I have brought you a new friend, Gu Jia." Looking at Mrs. Li and the others, Gu Jia smiled and said hello:

"Hello ladies."

Although Mrs. Wang was a bit arrogant, these ladies had their eyes on the ceiling. They didn't even look at Gu Jia, they just looked at Mrs. Wang and smiled:
"Mrs. Wang, you really have a way. You are slow to improve yourself. You said you would bring someone to support you. Oh, don't be angry. I was kidding you."

The person speaking was Mrs. Liu. Her family was engaged in the real economy and she claimed to be an ancestral property. She looked down on emerging families like Mrs. Wang and believed that people like Mrs. Wang were nouveau riche.

While belittling Mrs. Wang, she also exposed her jealousy and inferiority. In recent years, the real economy has been in decline, and her family's strength has quickly become inferior to Mrs. Wang's, so she feels jealous.

Although Mrs. Wang is not educated, she is not stupid at all. She hangs out with these ladies for business resources and connections. Of course, she is also a face-saving person, so she will do some funny things to support her appearance. .

For example, she bought a fake Monet's water lily and said it was painted by Van Gogh. Fortunately, Gu Jia corrected it for her, otherwise, she would have been embarrassed in front of these ladies.

Of course, Mrs. Wang is not afraid that these ladies can tell that her paintings are fake. After all, they are exactly the same as the real ones. Except for people with real appraisal skills, who in general knows whether the artwork is real or fake?

Gu Jia felt that she was quite smart. She even went to see Monet's painting exhibition in Paris, France, but what was the result?

Didn’t you mistake Mrs. Wang’s fake paintings as real?

This is what Mrs. Wang thinks in her heart. Since they are exactly the same, why spend more than 100 million to buy the so-called real paintings?
She bought a fake painting and hung it at home. What's the difference between it and the real thing?
Closer to home, Mrs. Wang was not as knowledgeable as Mrs. Liu. She sat down in her seat and smiled:
"No, how could I be angry with you?"

Every wife had her own seat, except Gu Jia. She stood there awkwardly. At this time, Mrs. Li glanced at her and said calmly:

"Just find a place to sit."

"Okay, thank you."

Gu Jia took a look at the room. The ladies were all sitting on soft chairs. She moved a hard chair from the corner against the wall and placed it next to Mrs. Wang. Then she sat down and stuffed her bag behind her.

Mrs. Liu kept looking at her. Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, she smiled deliberately and said:
"You said that the stool is only a little big, and you have to put a bag behind it. Will it be crowded when you sit like this?"

"A little bit."

Gu Jia smiled slightly. She took down her black chain bag and put it with the bags of other ladies.

Her bag was just an ordinary brand-name bag, but those ladies' bags were all very expensive brand-name bags. This was why she originally wanted to hide her bag. Mrs. Liu seemed to be kindly reminding her, but in fact it was Wanted to embarrass her.

These ladies are all very hypocritical, but Mrs. Wang is a breath of fresh air among them. Although she is arrogant, she is not pretentious. These ladies are all very pretentious, especially those like Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li, who have several families. Having been in business for generations and having been wealthy for several generations, I feel that my family's bloodline is very noble.

On the contrary, emerging families like Mrs. Wang are very clear-headed. All bloodlines are fake. Only money and strength are real. As long as they have money, the nouveau riche are also nobles. If they have no money in their pockets, even the royal family will be like beggars. Same thing, who really cares about your bloodline? Only beasts like pet dogs care about bloodline.

There was a tailor master on the stage teaching the ladies how to make clothes. At this time, Mrs. Wang looked at Gu Jia and asked:

"How's your handiwork?"

"It's okay. I've made clothes for my son before."

"You can cut it according to the fabric sample."

"it is good."

Seeing Mrs. Wang and Gu Jia chatting there, Mrs. Liu smiled and said:

"Mrs. Wang, you didn't come to our activities the last two times. Are you not familiar with this fabric? Let me tell you, this is called Taisi."

"That's right, you see this is imported from India."

Mrs. Ma smiled and said that her family and Mrs. Li's family were family friends. After sending their two children to Oxford University, they began to regard themselves as cultural people. People like them were proud of being abroad and making money at home, but they felt that in their hearts The moon in foreign countries is rounder.

"Oops, the cut is broken."

Mrs. Yu cooed. She was an 18th-level actress. She married Mr. Yu, who ran the amusement park business, and became the stepmother of his children. On the surface, she looked good, but Mr. Yu was actually older than her father. Moreover, Mr. Yu only gave her a little pocket money every month. In order to maintain her reputation in the wife circle, she would also go to second-hand stores to buy luxury goods. They all looked the same anyway. Who knew that what she bought was second-hand?

Of course, she couldn't help it. If she had enough money, she wouldn't go to a second-hand store to buy things.

Seeing that Mrs. Yu had cut off the Thai silk in her hand, Mrs. Wang smiled at her and said:
"Give it to me. I'll take it home and make a vest for my dog."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yu handed the cut off Tai Si to Mrs. Wang and smiled:
"Oh, Mrs. Wang, you know how to live a good life."

"That's right, our circle is really becoming more and more low-key. Why should we bring this kind of upstart with us?"

Mrs. Liu meant what she said. She and Mrs. Wang were in tit-for-tat. She had just shown off her Thai silk, and Mrs. Wang said she would take it home and make a vest for her dog.

At this time Mrs. Li smiled and said:
"It's boring for you to talk like this. Do we get together because we have similar interests?"

The atmosphere at the table was a bit awkward, and Gu Jia could tell that Mrs. Li's family was the most powerful, so she was the central figure in the circle of wives, while Mrs. Liu's family was worse, and Mrs. Wang's family was chasing Mrs. Liu's family, so Mrs. Liu has been targeting Mrs. Wang.

That Mrs. Yu should be the weakest, because as soon as Mrs. Li spoke, the atmosphere at the table became silent. Mrs. Yu, who was still very talkative at first, became quiet instantly. Then she looked at the faces of other people. Only the weak people You need to see other people’s faces.

Looking at the different performances of these ladies, Gu Jia also roughly analyzed their personalities and the strength ranking of the family. She had a faint smile on her face. Although the strength of the family was not comparable to that of these ladies, Gu Jia She doesn't feel that she is worse than these people. She even thinks that these ladies are vulgar and far less qualified and educated than her. This is Gu Jia's self-confidence.

Looking at Gu Jia, Mrs. Ma smiled and asked:

"Miss Gu, I haven't asked you yet, what does your husband do?"

Gu Jia smiled and said:

"My husband runs a fireworks company."

"fireworks?"

Mrs. Ma looked at Mrs. Yu and smiled:

"It's for Mrs. Yu to set off fireworks at your paradise, right?"

Hearing what Mrs. Ma said, Gu Jia looked at Mrs. Yu and asked:

"Mrs. Yu, your family is in the amusement park business?"

"Ah."

Mrs. Yu hummed a little arrogantly. At this time, Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Yu and said to Gu Jia:

"Let me tell you, the management rights of our four major domestic amusement parks are all in the hands of her husband."

"Oh, please stop talking."

Mrs. Yu exclaimed, then Mrs. Ma looked at her and smiled:
"Mrs. Yu, are the tableware and sanitary products used in the paradise I told you about last time made for our family?"

"Our old man said it was all a trivial matter. He is now more interested in medical treatment."

Looking at Mrs. Yu, Gu Jia couldn't help but make up her mind. She looked at Mrs. Yu and smiled:
"Mrs. Yu, is it inconvenient for me to add you on WeChat?"

"Okay, you can scan me."

Mrs. Yu opened the WeChat QR code and put the phone on the table. Gu Jia scanned it and then brought the phone to Mrs. Yu. As a result, Mrs. Yu didn't even look at it, she just turned the phone over and covered it on the table. . Seeing her like this, Gu Jia couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She knew that these ladies were very arrogant, but she found that she still underestimated the arrogance of these ladies.

In comparison, Mrs. Wang can be considered kind, and Yuan Xudong is simply a humble gentleman. Although he is bad, he is not so arrogant. Gu Jia also realized for the first time what the rich people in Shanghai are like.

After the Wives Circle activity was over, Gu Jia took a taxi back. Before parting, Gu Jia took a group photo with the members of the Wives Circle. All the wives showed off their bags in front of them, and only Gu Jia stood there. At the edge, she quietly hid her bag behind her.

On the way back, Gu Jia was sitting in the back seat of the taxi. She scrolled through the Moments of the Wife Circle members and found that she was not in the group photo. She had been cropped out and did not deserve to appear in the Wife Circle group photo. Obviously, Wang The wife took her to participate in activities in the Madam Circle just to make up for it. She was regarded as Mrs. Wang's follower and was not considered a formal member of the Madam Circle.

Gu Jia smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking to herself that it seemed she could only rely on Yuan Xudong for now. At the same time, she had no idea of ​​leaving because of the arrogance of the wife circle.

On the contrary, she feels that the Madam Circle is a good place for her to make connections. She wants to officially join the Madam Circle and get better resources. Not just a fireworks company, she wants to do some other businesses that are more diversified and decentralized. The risk is that she can't just be in the fireworks industry. Before that, she has to buy a bag that matches her wife's circle.

On the other side, Yuan Xudong's home.

Wang Manni completely collapsed. Yuan Xudong carried her to the bed. She lay in his arms and murmured:

"I can't do it anymore, Xudong, please spare me."

"it is good."

Yuan Xudong smiled. He hugged Wang Manni and lay on the bed to rest. He kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile:
"Go to sleep quickly, I'll hold you in my arms."

"Ah."

Wang Manni hummed softly, and she lay in Yuan Xudong's arms and fell asleep. She was so tired. She almost thought she was going to die in front of the floor-to-ceiling window just now, and couldn't help crying. Now she just wants to Get some sleep and recover your strength.

Looking at Wang Manni who was sleeping deeply, Yuan Xudong couldn't help but feel a little pity. He was indeed too rude just now. At the same time, he was thinking in his heart, if Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jian could help Wang Manni share some of the pressure , that’s good, right?
