Chapter 74 - This Was the Gap (1/2)
Having been rejected in such a violent manner, Yun Ziling stood there awkwardly and stared at Jiang Wanyun with a pained and aggrieved expression.
She’d used the same amount of money that a dress would cost to buy this stupid racket, but the eldest son didn’t even bother looking at it.
That wretched girl Yun Xi was really taking herself too seriously. How dare she instruct them to buy something so expensive when the eldest son didn’t even like it.
She shouldn’t have boasted about knowing what the eldest son would like. If they had bought something else, perhaps he would’ve liked it.
Just wait until they got home. She would make her pay for putting her in such an awkward situation.
Since the eldest son obviously couldn’t be counted on, she would have to try her scheme on Jiang Wanyun.
If Jiang Wanyun liked her, she would have many more opportunities to visit the Chen family’s mansion in the future.
As she thought about this, Yun Ziling decided to forget her embarra.s.sment. She changed her face into a flawlessly obsequious expression.
“Madam, my mother asked me to bring you this shawl. You see, fall is about to arrive, so no doubt it will come in handy.”
The butler standing on the side glanced at the shopping bag in her hand and said with a blank expression, “Madam only uses custom-made shawls. She would never use one from an ordinary brand.”
“I see…” Yun Ziling was embarra.s.sed once again.
She’d almost forgotten. Mrs. Chen’s social status in Jingdu was quite extraordinary, so she probably wouldn’t use name brand items like this.
For the truly wealthy and tasteful upper cla.s.s families, everything they wore was couture without any brands, so they probably didn’t look favorably on name brands.
When her mother went into the store to buy the shawl, she’d suffered at how much it had cost. But for Madam Chen, it was merely something beneath her consideration.
This was the gap, the gap between one blue-blood family and another.
Regarding this gap, she was both envious and embarra.s.sed.
“Miss Yun is very considerate. Please thank your mother for me. My personal designer just sent a batch of clothes for autumn, so I won’t be needing this for the time being. Please take this back, but I’ve taken your goodwill to heart.”
As a born-and-bred blue blood, Jiang Wanyun refused in a polite, refined manner without resorting to hurting her pride or making her feel humiliated.
No matter how embarra.s.sed Yun Ziling was, she could only grit her teeth and bear it.
After all, the gap was there. Madam simply looked down on the things people of her level used, and there was nothing she could do about it.
