Tang Beibei saw that someone was wearing the same coat as her, but she didnât care.
Clothes in the market were mass produced so it was normal for consumers to buy the same outfit.
However, the other person did not think so. She walked straight up to Tang Beibei and asked, âBeibei, this high-quality imitation of yours looks quite good. How much did you spend?â
Tang Beibei replied, âIt wasnât much, but youâre wrong to say that mine is a high-quality imitation.â
The clothes she was wearing were discounted and could not be considered high-quality imitations.
When Rong Chanâer heard Tang Beibei say that her coat wasnât a high-quality imitation, did she mean to tell her that she was wearing the real deal?
The coat she was wearing was from TK, a niche brand that was a recent rising star in the fashion world. Every piece of clothing they made was unique in style and design elements. They only made a single piece for every style, which resulted in very high price tags.
Rong Chanâer bought her coat for 50,000 yuan, so she was sure that Tang Beibeiâs was a counterfeit.
She thought to herself disdainfully how a cripple like Jiang Jingchen with no income, who had been cut off financially by Old Master Jiang, could afford to buy such an expensive coat for Tang Beibeiâ¦
âBeibei, since you are already wearing it, donât feel embarrassed that itâs a high-quality imitation. This isnât anything embarrassing.â
Ruan Qi, who was standing beside Tang Beibei, sneered. âItâs not the end of the world to run into someone wearing the same clothes but one should know who looks better in them! The contrast shouldnât be too jarring.â
Tang Beibei was fair-skinned, so the burgundy coat made her skin look as fair as snow. In addition, she had great bone structure and the lively elements on the coat suited her very well.
This coat seemed to be tailor-made for her.
On the other hand, Rong Chanâer was a hypocrite pretending to be gentle and weak. She was also very thin and this coat did not fit her at all.
Rong Chanâer heard Ruan Qiâs sarcasm and looked at Tang Beibeiâs pants. They were also from TK and matched her coat perfectly. Rong Chanâer gritted her teeth.
â1 didnât say that Beibei doesnât look good. 1 was just reminding her out of the goodness of my heart that if she doesnât have the money to buy branded goods, she shouldnât spend money on high-quality imitations. Because there is no quality guarantee and itâs extremely awkward if she bumps into someone whoâs wearing the real thing.â
Tang Beibei shook her head calmly. âNo, 1 donât feel awkward at all. Itâs not a big deal to wear the same clothes. Itâs just like how we eat all rice and noodles every day. Whatâs there to be embarrassed about?â
â⦠Huh.â
That was generous of Tang Beibei!
Rong Chanâer didnât want to pretend with Tang Beibei, so she sneered. âItâs really not a big deal. After all, youâre vain, and your love for branded clothes has nothing to do with me.â
When the other students heard Rong Chanâerâs words, they all looked at Tang Beibei strangely. Some of them even whispered among themselves.
âShe doesnât have the money to buy branded goods, so she wears high-quality imitations. Now that she bumped into someone wearing possibly the real thing, Tang Beibei actually doesnât feel embarrassed. Iâm embarrassed for her.â
âYeah, this woman is showing off here dressed in high-quality imitation clothes. Is she trying to hook a rich second-generation heir?â
âSheâs not trying because sheâs already hooked one. Donât you know that sheâs Lu Fanâs girlfriend? But Lu Fan slept with Yuan Jiaojiao. This is a slap to her face. What kind of girlfriend is she? Sheâs just someone who got dumped after some fun.â
âOh, she tried to seduce Lu Fan⦠Why would a god like Lu Fan like a disgusting woman like her? She must be dreaming.â
Ruan Qi was very angry when she heard their discussion. She wanted to retort but was stopped by Tang Beibei.
â1 really donât have the money to buy branded goods, but the clothes Iâm wearing arenât high-quality imitations. If they want to gossip, let them gossip.â Tang Beibei didnât want to waste her time on such trivial matters.
However, Ruan Qi couldnât take it lying down. âBeibei, take off your coat and let them open their eyes wide to see whatâs the real deal!â
âUm, Ruan Qi, thereâs no need.â
Ruan Qi rolled her eyes in anger and glared at her. Tang Beibei had no choice but to take off her coat.
Ruan Qi then pointed at Rong Chanâer and said, âRong Chanâer, you said that Beibeiâs coat is a fake. I dare you to take yours off for comparison!â
Rong Chanâer had no problem with that. Since Tang Beibei asked to be humiliated, sheâd willingly have some fun at her expense!
âWhatâs there to be afraid of? Iâm just afraid that Tang Beibei will feel embarrassed and ashamed.â Rong Chanâer took off her coat as she spoke. Ruan Qi immediately took out her phone and called TKâs customer service hotline and complained that she had bought a fake and told them that she would sue them for compensation.
When the TK customer service officer asked to see the clothes, Ruan Qi asked them to add her on WeChat and video call her. When the call was connected, Ruan Qi immediately showed them Rong Chanâerâs coat.
The TK staff looked at the coat and immediately said that it was a fake.
Rong Chanâer was so angry that her face turned red. âNonsense! My friend bought this for me overseas. How can it be a fake?â
The customer service officer explained helplessly, âOur companyâs clothes are very easy to recognize because we have a unique mark. Also, your coat is labeled wrongly. Our label is not on the back of the collar, but on the back of the pocket so it doesnât rub against the back of the wearerâs neck. Madam, your coat is a low-quality defective product. It canât even be considered a high-quality imitation.â
âHow is that possible? Iâ¦â
âRong Chanâer, you donât have to say anything about your inferior product. Have a look at this coat now. Is this the real deal?â Ruan Qi then held Tang Beibeiâs coat in front of the camera for the customer service officer.
âThis one is the real deal, Madam. This coat is also the main feature in this monthâs issue of our magazine. However, there is only one piece of this coat in the entire world. The price is 111,110 yuan. Madam, youâre really lucky to be able to get this coat.â
âThank you for your appraisal. 1 wonât sue you then. Goodbye!â
Ruan Qi hung up the video call and raised an eyebrow at Rong Chanâer. âRong Chanâer, do you feel embarrassed? Youâve bought an inferior product, yet you smugly made fun of someone who wore the real thing. Beibei didnât even want to bother with you, yet you sought death. I can only send you on your way!â
When the crowd heard the customer service officerâs words, they realized that Tang Beibei was wearing the authentic coat.
âSo, Rong Chanâer is wearing inferior clothes. She is greedy and vain, yet she accused Tang Beibei. What a joke.â
âIs the Rong family going bankrupt? Sheâs actually wearing low-quality imitations. This is too degrading. If she doesnât have the money, she shouldnât covet branded clothes! Why is she pretending to be a big shot?â
âItâs probably some kind of inferiority complex. Sheâs not good-looking, so she wears branded clothes to boost her self-esteem. When she sees someone wearing the real deal, she still dares to humiliate them. Tsk tsk, what kind of pervert is she?â
When Rong Chanâer heard the price of the coat from the customer service officer, she knew that she had been cheated. She could feel everyone staring at her strangely. She was extremely annoyed.
She threw her coat on the ground in shame and anger and even stomped on it fiercely before she turned to leave.
She was furious. Tang Beibei was such a b*tch. She had been humiliated multiple times by Tang Beibei. She definitely wouldnât let Tang Beibei off!
Tang Beibei put her coat back on and sighed helplessly when she saw Rong Chanâer stomping on her coat, almost exploding from anger.
âShe has absolutely no civic mindedness to litter like this.â Tang Beibei picked up the coat that Rong Chanâer had stomped on and put it into a trash can with a look of pity.
Although this coat was not authentic, it was still a good coat. It was such a waste to throw it away like this!
Ruan Qiâs lips twitched when she saw Tang Beibei pick up Rong Chanâerâs coat.. âArenât you curious how your husband managed to buy you this coat?â
