Xiao Jinglan's smile remained unchanged on her face, making it impossible for Cao Mei to detect any clues.
But the more this was the case, the more she felt that this woman was suspicious.
How could Xiao Jinglan not see the hostility in Cao Mei?
She sneered inwardly, but still maintained a kind smile on her face, "Mrs. Lu, Jin's reputation and popularity among ordinary people have both been poor lately. If you want her to join the Song Family, she needs to establish a good name in the Shangjing Circle..."
"Such a trending topic can be smoothed over with some money. I don't need Lady Xiao to teach me how to handle it." Cao Mei frowned, her eyes still wary.
Xiao Jinglan shrugged, "Since Jin returned to the Lu Family, she has been constantly plagued by negative comments. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get past Old Master Song."
...
Cao Mei fell noticeably silent.
What Xiao Jinglan said was indeed true.
