Chapter 771 Mrs. Wu Is Targeted

• Seeing that I was truly angry, the other ladies hypocritically tried to persuade Mrs. Wu. Their words were harsh, subtly elevating me while belittling her. For example, "Mrs. Wu, even if she is indeed younger, she is still the head of the Xi family, a fact that cannot be changed by anyone. Even if she doesn't respect us, we have no way to deal with her. After all, the husbands of all of us ladies rely on the Xi family. Moreover, the head of the family has always been reasonable with you. You are making a scene without any manners. Don't cause trouble for the head of the family, do you understand?"
• The ladies who had always supported Mrs. Wu suddenly began to criticize her. Mrs. Wu's face looked very ugly, but she dared not cause any more trouble. She sat obediently, and everyone started chatting again. Since I had just defended Ganlu, they all started calling her "Sister Ganlu" or "Mrs. Xi" very naturally and intimately. Their fickle behavior left me speechless.
• I understood that this was how the circle of wealthy women operated. They were accustomed to a luxurious lifestyle, to navigating through money and comparisons, and to both praising and belittling others while being a fair-weather friend. They never thought about how it felt to be mocked and pushed around, nor did they consider how they themselves ended up in such a situation. They only cared about who was the most glamorous at the moment.
