Chapter 1841: Meeting on a Narrow Path Chapter 1841: Meeting on a Narrow Path Editor: Henyee Translations Mrs.
Guan braced herself for the challenges she anticipated facing that day.
Despite knowing the ordeal that awaited her, she chose to attend nonetheless.
Why should she stay away?
Her conscience was clear; she had done nothing wrong!
If anyone should feel ashamed or avoid confrontation, it was not her!
With pursed lips, Mrs.
Guan cast a chilling glare at Qiao Xuan.
Her gaze bore such intensity that it was impossible to ignore.
Qiao Xuan, however, met her gaze calmly, her expression serene, as though Mrs.
Guan were no different from any other guest.
Mrs.
Guan’s chest tightened.
One thought echoed in her mind: What audacity!
Why did Qiao Xuan exude such self-righteousness?
Observing this exchange, Mrs.
Jia couldn’t contain her satisfaction.
Finally, Mrs.
Guan faced repercussions!
Witnessing this was immensely gratifying.
The fleeting illusion dissolved as reality set in.
Mrs.
Guan was no longer the Deputy Prefect’s wife, and her husband had indeed secured a promotion.
Fan Ruyin rolled her eyes and addressed Mrs.
Jia with a saccharine smile.
“Mrs.
Jia, what a delightful surprise to have you here!
Although we’ve never met before, today provides us with an opportunity to acquaint ourselves.
You should grace us with your presence more often; it would afford us the chance to forge a deeper connection.
Much like with Mrs.
Guan, we’re all quite familiar with each other here.
Since you’re a regular attendee, I’m sure you’re well-acquainted with Mrs.
Guan, aren’t you?” Mrs.
Guan’s disdain was evident in her sneer, cutting through the air with clarity.
Throughout the gathering, numerous glances exchanged conveyed subtle messages, laden with meaning or ambiguity.
Feeling somewhat uneasy, Mrs.
Jia sought solace in Qiao Xuan’s composed demeanor as she conversed with another guest, seemingly oblivious to the tension.
Mustering her resolve, Mrs.
Jia nodded in agreement with Fan Ruyin’s compliment.
“Your kindness is greatly appreciated, Mrs.
Bai.” In her response, she tacitly endorsed Fan Ruyin’s suggestion, signaling her willingness to engage more actively in social gatherings in the future.
However, as Mrs.
Guan contemplated Mrs.
Jia’s prospective interactions with the other ladies, attending lavish events, and being accorded the same respect she once enjoyed, a surge of irritation coursed through her.
All of this had once been hers!
Jia Heming’s efforts to curry favor with Shao Yunduan, betraying her in the process, had led to her displacement and her husband’s downfall.
Mrs.
Jia, whom she had scarcely acknowledged in the office, now occupied the position she once held.
How could she possibly accept this?
Rage simmered within Mrs.
Guan, manifesting as a slight tremor in her body.
She glared at Mrs.Jia with a sharp look.
Fan Ruyin’s bright smile adorned her face as she coyly covered her mouth, emitting a girlish giggle.
“Oh, you’re far too kind!
Your grace, virtue, and elegance are unmistakable.
One glance is all it takes to discern that you’re no ordinary woman!
It’s no wonder you’ve been blessed with such good fortune!
I daresay, your luck still lies ahead of us, doesn’t it?
Hahaha!” With a genial smile, Fan Ruyin directed her question to the assembled guests, each of whom felt compelled to respond with smiles and nods of agreement.
Mrs.
Guan seethed with mounting fury, her grip on her handkerchief tight enough to fray its edges.
She recognized Fan Ruyin’s deliberate provocation, yet her anger wasn’t directed towards Fan Ruyin herself.
Instead, she harbored resentment towards Qiao Xuan and Mrs.
Jia.
Observing Mrs.
Jia’s uneasy demeanor and awkward response, Mrs.
Guan’s rage intensified.
How could she have been replaced by someone like her, who lacked eloquence and social finesse?
