Chapter 332: Only About 400 Fragrance Masters Globally
Ruan Xueling sat back down and looked at Mrs. Xu mockingly. “Yangyang always brings me gifts when she goes out. She personally made this perfume, so of course I have to wear it. Mrs. Xu also has a daughter. Don’t tell me you can’t even understand this?”
Mrs. Xu was about to retort, but she fell silent for a moment.
Her daughter, Xu Xuanyan, had never brought her a gift when she went on a long trip. Most of the time, she had to wheedle and send her money to buy things.
The smiles on the faces of the other madams who were watching froze.
They also thought of their daughters at home. It was not that they did not bring gifts, but every time they came back from a long trip, they did not bring gifts for them.
Seeing that Mrs. Xu couldn’t speak, Ruan Xueling smiled proudly. “No wonder. Mrs. Xu saw the gift Yangyang gave me and snatched it as if she hadn’t seen the world. She took it without asking. Those who didn’t know better would think that Mrs. Xu even wanted to steal a bottle of perfume.”
Mrs. Xu glared at Ruan Xueling, about to explode from anger. “You!!”
Mrs. Qi, who was beside her, immediately pulled her back and persuaded her to calm down.
As long as Ruan Xueline was happy, Mrs. Xu would feel aggrieved these few days. Now that she heard Ruan Xueling’s mocking words, how could she calm down? “What a joke. It’s just an unbranded perfume. Only you treat it as a treasure. Who would like it?”
Seeing that her best friend was annoyed, Mrs. Qi also stepped forward and sneered. “Since when did Gu Yang learn how to make perfume? Why haven’t I heard of it? I wonder which master she learned from, huh?”
Mrs. Xu also realized that Ruan Xueling had to post on her Moments to brag about what Gu Yang had learned since she was young. If Gu Yang had really learned how to make perfume, how could she not know?
“Fragrance-making isn’t like flower arranging or making tea. You can learn it from a famous teacher. Not everyone can learn how to mix fragrance.” As Mrs. Xu spoke, she looked at Mrs. Fu, who was drinking coffee slowly. She smiled and said, “I think Mrs. Fu should have more say in fragrance-making.” Hearing Mrs. Xu’s words, everyone looked at Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu, who was also Fu Mingxiu’s mother, came from a fragrance-making family in the capital. The Fu family had a special status in Jin City because the Fu family had a marriage alliance with the aristocratic families in the capital.
It was also because of her family background that Mrs. Fu was relatively arrogant among the madams. She looked down on wealthy families like the Gu and Xu families, which did not have deep foundations, and only got along well with Mrs. Tang.
Mrs. Fu put down her coffee cup and said proudly, “Fragrance making is one of the most mysterious professions in the world. There are only about 400 perfume makers in the world. It has high demands on one’s sense of smell. Not everyone can say that they know how to mix perfume.”
As Mrs. Fu spoke, she looked at Ruan Xueling meaningfully, her eyes filled with mockery.
Ruan Xueling frowned.
Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Qi looked at each other and were secretly pleased.
The others sheepishly stayed quiet. They were happy to watch the commotion. Ever since the engagement between the Gu family and the Xue family was canceled and the Xue family went bankrupt, they had secretly guessed that the Gu family might marry the Fu family. After all, everyone in the circle saw Fu Mingxiu chasing after Gu Yang.
However, Mrs. Fu was very disgusted by these comments, and even her attitude towards Gu Yang wasn’t good. Although she didn’t say it explicitly, she had also said that the Fu family’s daughter-in-law had to be a real daughter of a prestigious family.
In other words, Gu Yang was a fake daughter. Did she think she was a daughter of a powerful family? Did she even dream of entering the Fu family?
Mrs. Xu covered her mouth and laughed. “Maybe that Gu Yang is talented? Ruan Xueling, aren’t you going to show off the fragrance Gu Yang made? Coincidentally, Mrs. Fu comes from a fragrance-making family and is a rare incense master in the country..”
