Chapter 1583: All The Other Women Were Country Bumpkins

A few Elders of the Gu family were coming?

Why didn’t she hear about this before?

Guan Meiyi sneered inwardly but didn’t show any emotion on the surface.

The maid stood there and said impatiently, “Can you hurry up? There are still a lot of things to do in the kitchen.”

Guan Meiyi looked at the maid coldly. The maid was stunned. She seemed to have realized that her attitude towards Guan Meiyi was a little bad, so she softened her tone and said, “I’ll have to trouble you to hurry up.”

In fact, the maid saw that Fang Hua and Butler Xu weren’t very polite to Guan Meiyi, so she also followed suit. However, she seemed to have forgotten her identity.

Guan Meiyi wasn’t stupid enough to think that Fang Hua really cared about her arranging the cutlery here. Just as Gu Zhiqian said, there were a lot of servants in the Gu family, so there was no need for her to set the cutlery. Fang Hua invited her here with a dignified reason, but in fact, her purpose was to humiliate her and find fault with her.

If the cutlery wasn’t arranged properly today, Fang Hua might use it as an excuse to give her a hard time during the meal later.

“You can put the cutlery here. I can do it myself,” Guan Meiyi said to the maid.

The maid looked at Guan Meiyi suspiciously and said, “Do you know how to set it? The Gu family’s dining etiquette are very strict. If you don’t arrange them properly, you will be scolded.” The maid was kind enough to remind Guan Meiyi, although her tone was still not very pleasant.

Guan Meiyi smiled at her warmly and said, “It doesn’t matter. You just need to give me a pair of white gloves. I’ll do the rest myself.”

Hearing Guan Meiyi’s words, the maid was stunned. She didn’t expect Guan Meiyi to know about the matter of using white gloves. Previously, when Fang Hua was putting on an act of arranging the cutlery, she didn’t even think about wearing gloves.

Fingerprints could be easily left on the cutlery used for eating, so the maids would always wear a pair of white gloves when setting the cutlery to prevent their fingerprints from sticking on them.

The maid gave a new pair of gloves to Guan Meiyi. Guan Meiyi thanked her and let her leave.

As the maid walked, she looked back from time to time and looked at Guan Meiyi worriedly. She felt that Guan Meiyi’s attitude was gentle, and she seemed to be a good person, so she said, “If you need any help, let me know. I’ll be in the kitchen.”

Knowing that this was the maid’s gesture of goodwill, Guan Meiyi smiled and nodded at her.

Because of this smile, the maid inexplicably blushed. The internet had always said that Guan Meiyi’s heartfelt smile could instantly sweep any young man off their feet, but now, even a young girl like her was instantly swept off her feet.

After the maid left, Guan Meiyi set the tableware attentively. Fang Hua wanted to make things difficult for her and make her embarrassed. Unfortunately, that was her wishful thinking. No matter what, Guan Meiyi was an A-list movie star and an internationally famous female celebrity. What kind of social event hadn’t she attended before? What kind of etiquette does she not know of? Therefore, even though she had never set tableware before, since she had eaten many times before, how could she not know where the tableware should be placed?

It seemed that Fang Hua was overconfident. Perhaps Fang Hua thought that in this world, other than her, all the other women were country bumpkins.

It was time to start the meal. The Elders had already arrived at the mansion. Seeing the Elders’ arrival, Old Master Gu was a little surprised.

Fang Hua smiled and said, “I invited the Elders here. This is Fourth Brother’s first time bringing a female companion home, so the Elders in the family has to at least meet her.”

Fang Hua’s words were very ambiguous. She couldn’t bring herself to say that Guan Meiyi was Gu Zhiqian’s wife, and since the Old Master didn’t like Guan Meiyi anyway, she simply said whatever she wanted to say.

Gu Zhiqian stood there and saw that only Fang Hua came out, but he didn’t see Guan Meiyi. He immediately frowned slightly.
