"Mrs. Wang."
Gu Jia and Mrs. Yu both looked at Mrs. Wang who was walking slowly.
Although Mrs. Wang has entered middle age, her pampered life has allowed her to maintain a good figure.
Wearing a tight purple dress and a mink coat, she looks very noble, but when you get closer, you will find that Mrs. Wang's temperament has nothing to do with nobleness, and can only be regarded as gold.
The outside of it.
"Mrs. Yu, Gu Jia, what a coincidence. Did you come together?"
Before Gu Jia could speak, Mrs. Yu first corrected her: "Mrs. Wang, you called me wrong. You should call me Mrs. Zhou now."
Mrs. Wang glanced at Gu Jia, whose expression remained unchanged, and said with a smile: "Yes, blame me, I should be called Mrs. Zhou."
Gu Jia: "Mrs. Wang, just call me by my name."
In the past, she felt that the names between these people were very awkward. She felt that it was more appropriate to call people by their first names when interacting with each other.
But after marrying Zhou Chen, her mentality gradually changed, and she understood that the reason why these people were called that was not because they did not have their own names, but because they each represented their husband's family, and calling them Mrs.
Show courtesy and respect to your husband’s family.
Mrs. Wang smiled and asked: "Mrs. Zhou, why don't you live in Junyue Mansion after you married Mr. Zhou?"
She also specifically inquired with the property management company and learned that Zhou Chen and Gu Jia had not lived in Junyue Mansion for a long time. Otherwise, she would have planned to talk to Gu Jia.
She really didn't like Gu Jia in the past because Gu Jia's husband was just a small boss and couldn't get on the stage at all. His annual income was not enough for her annual cosmetics.
But things are different now. Gu Jia married Zhou Chen and became Mrs. Zhou.
Zhou Chen is not on the same level as the former Xu Huanshan. Even his husband has to be treated politely, so her attitude towards Gu Jia will naturally be different.
Gu Jia smiled and replied: "It's still not very convenient there. It's far away from where I work, so we moved to a closer place."
Mrs. Yu said: "Mrs. Zhou is currently managing a special rehabilitation institution and is very busy, so she doesn't have time to come to our party."
Gu Jia smiled and said: "That's not entirely true. A lot of things happened some time ago, and I was very busy. I only have time recently."
After the three of them chatted for a while, Mrs. Yu said with a smile: "Let's go in and chat. Mrs. Li and the others must have arrived."
"Yes, let's go in quickly, Mrs. Yu. I heard that the person invited this time is a very famous master?" Mrs. Wang asked.
Mrs. Yu replied: "Yes, it is the master hired by Mrs. Li from abroad. He is said to be famous in the coffee industry. I don't know very well. I don't know much about coffee either. By the way, Mrs. Zhou, are you sure?"
Can you grind coffee by hand?"
Gu Jia said modestly: "I can brew ready-made coffee, but I can't grind coffee by hand."
Mrs. Wang: "Then we have to study hard today."
In fact, she wasn't interested in coffee either, but since the other wives liked it, she followed them, at least not making them think she had no taste.
The three of them walked into the coffee shop together, and saw Mrs. Li and the others had already arrived, sat down, and started studying.
"Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Wang, you guys came a little late today."
Mrs. Yu chuckled and said, "Mrs. Ma, it's not that we were late, but we met someone at the door and were delayed."
In fact, the ladies had already seen Gu Jia, but they just pretended not to see it. They only looked at Gu Jia when they heard Mrs. Yu say it.
Mrs. Liu had a fake smile on her face: "Ah, isn't this Mrs. Xu? You haven't been to our party for a long time. You are really a rare guest."
Mrs. Xu's words made everyone present slightly change their expressions. The truth about Gu Jia's divorce had already been mentioned during the chat after tea in the wife circle. Everyone knew that Gu Jia was divorced.
But Mrs. Liu still called Mrs. Xu, which was obviously intentional.
Mrs. Ma pretended to be kind and corrected: "Mrs. Liu, please don't scream. This is Mrs. Zhou, not Mrs. Xu, right, Mrs. Zhou."
Mrs. Li put down the tea cup leisurely. Although her face was expressionless, her eyes were fixed on Gu Jia, wanting to see Gu Jia's reaction.
The other wives were all the same, sitting back and waiting to watch the show.
Gu Jia also didn't expect that when he came here for the first time after a long time, he would receive such a greeting gift.
After a moment of anger, she calmed herself down again, but Mrs. Liu was deliberately provoking, and she was not one to swallow her anger.
She smiled and said to Mrs. Liu with a kind face: "Mrs. Liu is right. I used to be Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Liu, you must remember that my current husband's surname is Zhou."
, if you call me wrong again and it reaches my husband’s ears, he may not have as good a temper as I do.”
Before coming, Zhou Chen told her, don't be afraid of offending people. If someone dares to attack you, just attack them back. No matter right or wrong, he will stand by her side.
Zhou Chen gave her the confidence, and she naturally had the courage to fight back immediately when faced with Mrs. Liu's ridicule.
Mrs. Liu's expression suddenly became ugly. Although the Liu family is also a member of the upper class society in Shanghai, compared with the Zhou family, it is not on the same level. If Zhou Chen is angered, it will definitely not be the case for the Liu family.
Good thing.
Gu Jia's strong counterattack also surprised the other wives. They didn't care about Gu Jia, but Gu Jia now represents Zhou Chen and the Zhou family, so they should not be underestimated.
Mrs. Liu was angry, but it was impossible for her to give in. In her opinion, Gu Jia just got lucky and was favored by Zhou Chen. In fact, she didn't deserve to sit with them at all.
However, Mrs. Li saw the awkward situation, so she smoothed things over and said, "Ignorance is not a crime. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu also didn't know what happened, so they called the wrong person."
Mrs. Liu hurriedly came down the steps: "Yes, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Mrs. Zhou, I really don't know that you are no longer..."
Gu Jia interrupted her directly and said calmly: "This time it was a misunderstanding, but Mrs. Liu should be more careful when speaking in the future. Calling the wrong person is not a good thing after all."
Gu Jia's overt and covert words were mixed with threats, which made Mrs. Liu secretly angry. She was just a vixen who seduced men, so what qualifications did she have to teach her a lesson?
Mrs. Li didn't want the confrontation between Gu Jia and Mrs. Liu to continue, so she took the initiative and said, "Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Zhou, come and sit down. What we are going to do today is hand-grinded coffee."
Gu Jia sat down according to the position. If she had faced these people before, although she thought she was no worse than them, she still lacked confidence.
But now, she no longer has any confidence. Her mentality has changed and she has adapted to her identity. She knows that her face is also Zhou Chen's face. She can embarrass herself, but she cannot let Zhou Chen lose face, so she just
Will fight back strongly.
During today's gathering, Gu Jia clearly felt the change in everyone's attitude towards her. Whether it was pretentious or sincere, it was completely different from before.
The party ended quickly after a few hours. At this party, Gu Jia did not just do things to please like before. Instead, she chatted with a few people happily. Her behavior showed everyone's style, and she looked better than others.
The other ladies are even more noble.
Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
In this month, Gu Jia participated in two gatherings of the wives circle, and has completely adapted to her new identity. She is no longer a marginal figure in the wives circle, but has become the focus, because everyone else wants to
She got in touch with the Zhou family and was very enthusiastic towards her.
Zhou Chen has also become very busy recently, because now he not only has to take care of the affairs of several companies, but also has to take care of his three women.
Zhao Jingyu just gave birth to a son. He has to take care of both adults and children, as well as Wang Manni. Now with three women, he can only release himself and be satisfied at Wang Manni's place. Both Gu Jia and Zhao Jingyu
Can't satisfy him.
Huaxing Group is still operating normally as before. This large group has already been formed, so Zhou Chen doesn't need to spend much time, as long as he has a good grasp of the overall situation.
Chenxing Rehabilitation Institution has Gu Jia keeping an eye on it, and he is only responsible for the coordination, which can be considered relatively relaxed.
Only the pharmaceutical company, which is developing rapidly, is the industry that needs his most attention. Whether it is new drugs being sold or new drugs still being developed, he needs to be responsible for them, so he is not relaxed.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen has extremely rich life experience. Even with so many industries, he is still able to handle them with ease, and he can often find time to spend time with Gu Jia and Xu Ziyan.
Properly arranging time is something that practice makes perfect for Zhou Chen.
On this day, Gu Jia once again came to participate in the gathering of the wife's circle. After several gatherings, she has slowly become the focus of the circle of wives.
After all, these wives rely on their husbands' families for their livelihood, and although her man is the youngest, he is definitely the most influential one in the circle of wives.
Among her topics, the most talked about one recently is Zhou Chen’s Chenxing Pharmaceutical Company, because in the recent downturn in the stock market, Chenxing Pharmaceutical has been like a rocket, with its stock price soaring and becoming the most dazzling stock so far in the first half of this year.
.
Countless people want to buy this stock, but unfortunately there are too few individual shares circulating in the stock market, making it difficult to buy.
The stock that was originally worth almost 100 million in Gu Jia's opinion has now reached a market price of more than 200 million, and is still rising.
Gu Jia always felt that something was wrong with the way Mrs. Liu looked at her today, so when they were alone, she couldn't help but ask Mrs. Liu: "Mrs. Liu, do you have anything to say to me?"
Mrs. Liu smiled, but her smile looked particularly fake.
"No, I just envy Mrs. Zhou. She can raise a child and marry such a good husband. He is much more attractive than women like us."
Gu Jia felt very uncomfortable listening to these words that were obviously compliments but were actually derogatory words. This Mrs. Liu had been very unfriendly to her since she was criticized last time.
"Charm doesn't count. Mrs. Liu is the real happiness. She has always been rich and well-dressed. People like me, who have suffered too much, are naturally not as good as you."
