Chapter 383: Praising the High and Trampling the Low

Qin Xiaoyu chattered with Gu Qiaoqiao and told her that because Gu Qiaoqiao had won back the Jade Flute and discovered the pearl bracelet Grandpa Gu had gifted to the Old Matriarch, she had become a legendary heroine in her classmates' eyes.

At that time, Gu Qiaoqiao didn't even know that the family recognition banquet and the announcement of her being the Gu Family's successor hadn't sparked much interest among the people.

Instead, it was the Jade Flute that became the highlight of the banquet.

Later, when they learned how Gu Qiaoqiao, a nineteen-year-old girl, had won back the Jade Flute, she took on a mysterious aura in the eyes of those secluded noblewomen.

Earlier, those women who had mocked Shen Manru were now incredibly envious.

Especially Qin Yize's second and third aunts, who had praised Gu Qiaoqiao immensely after the banquet.

This was a classic case of elevating one person while degrading another.
