Jian Dan did not stop eating. As she ate, she looked at the middle-aged woman. âWere you talking about me just now?â
Upon hearing Jian Danâs words, the woman immediately said, âLooks like you still have some self-awareness. Thatâs right, I was talking about you just now. I think you should know how ugly your table manners were just now. Otherwise, you wouldnât have known that I was talking about you.â
That rich woman had the attitude of an elder educating a junior. It was as if what she had just said was all for Jian Danâs own good. Not only should Jian Dan not be angry, but she should also thank her for her pointers.
âI donât have ugly table manners, neither did I ask you to watch. Youâre such a busybody. Just because youâre old doesnât mean you are wise.â Jian Dan shot back.
Jian Dan did not care what others thought of her. To put it simply, their opinions were nothing to her.
âI didnât expect you to have such a sharp tongue.â
âThank you for the compliment. No one has ever said that to me before.â
âCompliment? Did you think I was paying you compliments just now?â The rich woman said as she pursed her lips.
In the eyes of the rich woman, someone like Jian Dan must be from a humble background who used some underhanded means to marry into a family like theirsâ¦
Looking at Jian Danâs slightly bulging stomach, her eyes brimmed with disdainâ¦
In todayâs society, how many women dreamed of becoming the wife of a rich man? The most common trick was to get pregnant.
A woman would naturally have a greater chance at achieving that goal if she were pregnant. Many women married into rich families using this move.
The rich woman loathed such girls who climbed up the social ladder like that.
Moreover, from the way Jian Dan ate, she had already determined that she was definitely not a lady raised by a family like theirs.
âIsnât it?â
âHowever⦠itâs not necessarily a good thing to be praised by someone like you.â Jian Dan looked at the rich woman in front of her without showing any weakness.
âYouâ¦â The rich woman was already seething from anger, but still maintained her demeanor. âHow can I lower myself to your level, you uncultured girl?!
Some things canât be learned just because some people want to.â The rich woman remained on her high horse.
âLearn? Learn what? What is it that you think I should learn from you?â
âAre you referring to what you said earlier about being handy in the kitchen?â
âIâm sorry, but I really donât need to learn how to cook because the reason I canât cook is not that I canât master it, but because someone is willing to cook for me.â
âMen are just after the novelty with women like you. Do you really think someone of our status would marry an ill-bred woman like you who doesnât even know how to cook?â
âReally? I beg to differ.â
âYou think a woman should serve her husband well and take care of the family in all aspects while upholding an image of graciousness with excellent manners in the eyes of outsiders?â
âOf course! This is the basic etiquette of a woman.â
âLiving your entire life for a man, I really feel that youâre very pathetic.â
âHow could anyone want a woman like you?â
âNo one wants me?â
âPlease, my husband loves me to the core, okay?â
âBesides, I donât need to change anything. I donât need to know how to cook, take care of my family, or pay attention to any so-called etiquette because it doesnât affect my husbandâs love for me at all.â
âYou, on the other hand, talk so much. In my opinion, youâre just an unhappy woman whoâs spreading your misfortune around here.â
âIâm unhappy? Hmph!â
âIsnât that so? You can only earn a little bit of love from your husband by putting in so much effort every day. Is this happiness? If you donât do a good job one day, your husband probably wonât even be willing to give you that little bit of love, right?â
âBut Iâm different. I donât need to do anything, nor do I need to deliberately cater to anyone. My husband loves me for me.â
Jian Dan raised her chin and looked at the rich womanâ¦
