The person who got chewed out by Mrs. Wu didn't dare to complain at this time, only to sport an unpleasant expression, "Mrs. Wu, that was a bit harsh."
"What are you all thinking? I know it all too well. Some people's backgrounds are no secret, and now you're buttering them up, all because you're eyeing the benefits," Mrs. Wu said, effectively trampling everyone's dignity underfoot with her words.
Those who had just flattered me now looked rather embarrassed, but knowing they couldn't afford to offend Mrs. Wu, they simply chose to shut up.
At that moment, Gu Zhiyan approached with a smile on her face, "Mrs. Wu, why are you so angry? Who has upset you?"
Mrs. Wu let out a scoff, gave me a sidelong glance with her peripheral vision, and spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Miss Gu is from a prominent family, after all. When hosting guests, shouldn't you be selective? Inviting just anyone, aren't you afraid it might bring down the class of your event?"
