Chapter 757: Gossip
“I heard that Xiao Lingyu’s maiden family is here. Is that true?” Some of the bigger families in the capital had been paying attention to the Gong family. As soon as Xiao Lingyu’s family stepped into the Gong family, everyone started talking about it.
“How can I not? I even know that Old Master Gong personally went to welcome Xiao Lingyu’s family.”
Immediately, someone said sourly, “Why would Old Master Gong think so highly of his new granddaughter-in-law? Her family is just a bunch of country bumpkins. They are not worthy for Old Master Gong to personally welcome them.”
Of course, everyone understood that this was Old Master Gong’s way of showing he cared a lot about his granddaughter-in-law.
This greatly gave face to Xiao Lingyu’s country bumpkin family.
“However, someone took a photo of Xiao Lingyu’s family and discovered that Xiao Lingyu’s family members are all very good-looking!”
Someone turned on his phone and showed him the pictures posted online. “Look, these two are said to be Xiao Lingyu’s grandparents. They’re about seventy to eighty years old. Look, their hair is still as black as ink, their skin is in good condition, and their complexion is ruddy. They look like they’re only fifty to sixty years old. They look about twenty years younger than their peers.”
“Are you serious?” His friend said in disbelief, “These two old people from the countryside actually know how to take care of their appearance?”
“Not only that, look at these two middle-aged men and women. Xiao Lingyu is 70 to 80 percent similar to her mother. They are in their 40s and 50s. But look, this woman looks like she is only in her early 30s. Standing together with Xiao Lingyu, they look like sisters. Moreover, they have extraordinary temperaments. They are very elegant and noble. They have the temperament of a noble family from the capital.
“Look at the man. He’s handsome, gentle, and refined. He has the air of a scholar. No matter how I look at them, I can’t tell that they’re actually bumpkins!”
Jiang Yutong looked at the photo on it. She couldn’t bring herself to call them country bumpkins anymore.
“Also, look at the others. They all look younger than their real age. There’s not a single ugly person in the whole family. Their genes are too good, right?”
Li Jiacheng’s tone was filled with envy. “Xiao Lingyu’s family is filled with handsome men and beautiful women. No wonder they raised such an outstanding young mistress of the Gong family!”
Jiang Yutong, on the other hand, said somewhat sourly, “I heard that the things produced by their family have the effect of beautifying one’s appearance. That must be true. They have been eating them for a long time, so they look younger than their actual age.”
When Li Jiacheng heard this, her eyes lit up, and she said very excitedly, “Oh right. There are rumors that eating Green Fresh’s fruits and vegetables can make one look beautiful and young. In the future, I will eat more of them. Then, I will find a suitable husband to marry. Then, my life will be considered perfect!”
Her demand was not high. She just wanted to find a man that she liked and liked her. She just wanted to spend her life with an ordinary man.
However, for someone who was born into a big family, that was just wishful thinking.
When Jiang Yutong heard this, she suddenly said with jealousy and sourness, “At least you can eat those things every day. I can only pray that our servant manages to get in line on time.”
When Li Jiacheng heard this, she said with some doubt, “That is strange. Why would Grandpa Gong refuse to allow Grandpa Jiang to visit?” This meant that the Gong Family couldn’t take a shortcut through the Gong Family if they wanted the products from Green Fresh.
“Also, aren’t brother Gong and brother Jiang good friends and brothers?” Li Jiacheng asked in confusion, “Now, the Leng and Li families can take things directly from the Gong family, but they snubbed the Jiang family. That’s not very nice. Will Brother Gong and brother Jiang’s relationship be affected?” As the younger generation in the family, they obviously didn’t understand the past feuds and disputes between the Gong and Jiang families.
“Yutong, don’t you know the reason?” Li Jiacheng asked.
Jiang Yutong shook her head and said, “I don’t know.”
“That’s strange!” Li Jiacheng then suggested, “Why don’t you ask your brother to contact Brother Gong directly? After all, Xiao Lingyu’s products are more effective than those expensive cosmetics.”
All women loved to be beautiful.
At this moment, Jiang Yutong asked in puzzlement, “Jiacheng, why would Xiao Lingyu’s vegetables and fruits have these miraculous effect? That is certainly not normal.”
That was a doubt many people had.
Li Jiacheng shook her head, “I don’t know either. However, I reckon that there must be some science and technology or some secret. Alright, don’t think too much about it, and don’t try to find out the secret. After all, Xiao Lingyu’s current identity is Gong Tianhao’s wife and the mistress of the Gong family. We can’t afford to offend her.” Her words were meant to remind Jiang Yutong.
Jiang Yutong’s expression froze, then she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, of course I know that. I’m just a little curious now!”
However, internally she became more curious. Of course, she wouldn’t act on it.
When Xiao Lingyu’s family came to the capital, it made the upper-class people of the capital pay attention to them.
However, when they saw Xiao Lingyu’s family, everyone was as shocked as Li Jiacheng.
Xiao Lingyu’s family members were all young and had an extraordinary bearing. No wonder they were able to nurture a beautiful person like Xiao Lingyu.
Most people slightly changed their attitudes.
However, what made them even more surprised was Old Master Gong’s attitude towards Xiao Lingyu’s family members. He was very kind to them. This showed how much he valued and liked Xiao Lingyu as his granddaughter-in-law, despite the fact that she was a country bumpkin.
This caused some of the socialites to be envious and jealous.
Why was Xiao Lingyu’s life so good? She got Gong Tianhao’s favor and even Old Master Gong’s favor.
She was like a maid turning into a princess. But she was ultimately still a maid. One day, she would be beaten back to her original form.
“Hmph, how can Xiao Lingyu’s family have the face to come to the capital? They are just a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world. Aren’t they ashamed for coming to the capital?” A group of socialites gathered together to gossip.
“That’s right. They are also living with the Gong family. They are so proud. Aren’t they afraid of breaking the rules and being chased out by the Gong family? That would be really embarrassing!”
“Such a family must have come to the capital to curry favor with the Gong family. What a bunch of country bumpkins.”
The more they talked, the more upset they felt. They thought to themselves, ‘Gong Tianhao is such a noble man. Why did he marry a country bumpkin? Could it be because that woman is somewhat beautiful? However, no matter how beautiful a woman is, her looks will fade one day. But we’ve never heard of Gong Tianhao being lustful of a woman’s appearance before.’
“However, I think Xiao Lingyu’s family is quite good-looking.” Some of the young ladies said fairly, “Their temperament isn’t bad either.”
“So what? It really can’t change that they are bumpkins from the countryside.”
…
Xiao Lingyu didn’t care about the jealousy and sour words of these people. She was very busy at the moment with the opening of the capital supermarket.
There were many supermarkets in the capital, and many of the big supermarkets had an area of more than 10,000 square meters.
Compared to those supermarkets, Taoyuan village Green Fresh supermarket was minuscule.
Of course, other supermarkets were department stores that sold all kinds of goods, while Green Fresh was a specialized supermarket that only sold the agricultural products produced by the Taoyuan Village. So it was relatively huge already.
The geographical location of the capital supermarket was different from normal because it was not located in a remote location. Instead, it was at the center of town.
A small shop about ten square meters at this area would have a monthly rent of 10,000 to 20,000 RMB. Xiao Lingyu’s supermarket was around four to five thousand square meters. If this weren’t a present from Gong Tianhao, the rental would be astronomical.
