Tang Beibei saw that someone was wearing the same coat as her, but she didn’t 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, “Beibei, this high-quality imitation of yours looks quite good. How much did you spend?”
Tang Beibei replied, “It wasn’t much, but you’re wrong to say that mine is a high-quality imitation.”
The clothes she was wearing were discounted and could not be considered high-quality imitations.
When Rong Chan’er heard Tang Beibei say that her coat wasn’t 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 Chan’er bought her coat for 50,000 yuan, so she was sure that Tang Beibei’s 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 Beibei…
“Beibei, since you are already wearing it, don’t feel embarrassed that it’s a high-quality imitation. This isn’t anything embarrassing.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRuan Qi, who was standing beside Tang Beibei, sneered. “It’s 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 shouldn’t be too jarring.”
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 Chan’er was a hypocrite pretending to be gentle and weak. She was also very thin and this coat did not fit her at all.
Rong Chan’er heard Ruan Qi’s sarcasm and looked at Tang Beibei’s pants. They were also from TK and matched her coat perfectly. Rong Chan’er gritted her teeth.
“1 didn’t say that Beibei doesn’t look good. 1 was just reminding her out of the goodness of my heart that if she doesn’t have the money to buy branded goods, she shouldn’t spend money on high-quality imitations. Because there is no quality guarantee and it’s extremely awkward if she bumps into someone who’s wearing the real thing.”
Tang Beibei shook her head calmly. “No, 1 don’t feel awkward at all. It’s not a big deal to wear the same clothes. It’s just like how we eat all rice and noodles every day. What’s there to be embarrassed about?”
“… Huh.”
That was generous of Tang Beibei!
Rong Chan’er didn’t want to pretend with Tang Beibei, so she sneered. “It’s really not a big deal. After all, you’re vain, and your love for branded clothes has nothing to do with me.”
When the other students heard Rong Chan’er’s words, they all looked at Tang Beibei strangely. Some of them even whispered among themselves.
“She doesn’t 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 doesn’t feel embarrassed. I’m embarrassed for her.”
“Yeah, this woman is showing off here dressed in high-quality imitation clothes. Is she trying to hook a rich second-generation heir?”
“She’s not trying because she’s already hooked one. Don’t you know that she’s Lu Fan’s girlfriend? But Lu Fan slept with Yuan Jiaojiao. This is a slap to her face. What kind of girlfriend is she? She’s just someone who got dumped after some fun.”
“Oh, she tried to seduce Lu Fan… Why would a god like Lu Fan like a disgusting woman like her? She must be dreaming.”
Ruan Qi was very angry when she heard their discussion. She wanted to retort but was stopped by Tang Beibei.
“1 really don’t have the money to buy branded goods, but the clothes I’m wearing aren’t high-quality imitations. If they want to gossip, let them gossip.” Tang Beibei didn’t want to waste her time on such trivial matters.
However, Ruan Qi couldn’t take it lying down. “Beibei, take off your coat and let them open their eyes wide to see what’s the real deal!”
“Um, Ruan Qi, there’s no need.”
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 Chan’er and said, “Rong Chan’er, you said that Beibei’s coat is a fake. I dare you to take yours off for comparison!”
Rong Chan’er had no problem with that. Since Tang Beibei asked to be humiliated, she’d willingly have some fun at her expense!
“What’s there to be afraid of? I’m just afraid that Tang Beibei will feel embarrassed and ashamed.” Rong Chan’er took off her coat as she spoke. Ruan Qi immediately took out her phone and called TK’s 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 Chan’er’s coat.
The TK staff looked at the coat and immediately said that it was a fake.
Rong Chan’er was so angry that her face turned red. “Nonsense! My friend bought this for me overseas. How can it be a fake?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe customer service officer explained helplessly, “Our company’s 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 doesn’t rub against the back of the wearer’s neck. Madam, your coat is a low-quality defective product. It can’t even be considered a high-quality imitation.”
“How is that possible? I…”
“Rong Chan’er, you don’t have to say anything about your inferior product. Have a look at this coat now. Is this the real deal?” Ruan Qi then held Tang Beibei’s coat in front of the camera for the customer service officer.
“This one is the real deal, Madam. This coat is also the main feature in this month’s issue of our magazine. However, there is only one piece of this coat in the entire world. The price is 111,110 yuan. Madam, you’re really lucky to be able to get this coat.”
“Thank you for your appraisal. 1 won’t sue you then. Goodbye!”
Ruan Qi hung up the video call and raised an eyebrow at Rong Chan’er. “Rong Chan’er, do you feel embarrassed? You’ve bought an inferior product, yet you smugly made fun of someone who wore the real thing. Beibei didn’t even want to bother with you, yet you sought death. I can only send you on your way!”
When the crowd heard the customer service officer’s words, they realized that Tang Beibei was wearing the authentic coat.
“So, Rong Chan’er is wearing inferior clothes. She is greedy and vain, yet she accused Tang Beibei. What a joke.”
“Is the Rong family going bankrupt? She’s actually wearing low-quality imitations. This is too degrading. If she doesn’t have the money, she shouldn’t covet branded clothes! Why is she pretending to be a big shot?”
“It’s probably some kind of inferiority complex. She’s 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?”
When Rong Chan’er 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 wouldn’t let Tang Beibei off!
Tang Beibei put her coat back on and sighed helplessly when she saw Rong Chan’er stomping on her coat, almost exploding from anger.
“She has absolutely no civic mindedness to litter like this.” Tang Beibei picked up the coat that Rong Chan’er 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 Qi’s lips twitched when she saw Tang Beibei pick up Rong Chan’er’s coat.. “Aren’t you curious how your husband managed to buy you this coat?”
