Chapter 69 - Fake Or Real Deal? (2/2)
Tang Qiu shook her head calmly. “I’m not embarrassed. They’re only clothes.”
Feng Yao couldn’t be bothered to play along with her. “That’s true,” she sneered. “You’ve always been vain, but that’s not my problem, is it?”
At her words, the students in the vicinity eyed Tang Qiu and began to whisper amongst themselves.
“She didn’t have the money to buy branded clothes, so she wore a high-quality imitation. She doesn’t even feel embarrassed after bumping into the real thing. How can someone be so thick-skinned?”
“Ah, she can’t help it. We can’t undo our upbringing. Look at how she went to seduce her senior…”
“Well, she got what she wanted. She’s Ning Mufan’s girlfriend, don’t you know? But Ning Mufan slept with Niu Caijie, so their relationship doesn’t really count for much. She was probably just something for him to toy with.”
Xie Qingqing’s temper mounted when she heard them gossiping, but Tang Qiu stopped her before she could intervene.
“It’s true that I don’t have the money to buy branded goods, but I’m not wearing fake goods, either. Let them say what they want. It’s not worth getting worked up over.”
But Xie Qingqing was too furious to listen. “Take off your coat and show them what ‘the real thing’ is!”
“Huh?” What was there to show? She wasn’t even wearing the authentic branded goods.
Her friend glared at her, and Tang Qiu acquiesced.
Xie Qingqing pointed at Feng Yao and demanded, “You said that Tang Qiu’s clothes were fake. Take off your coat, then, if you think yours is the real deal.”
Feng Yao laughed, shrugging off her coat. “If you insist. I just hope Tang Qiu won’t feel too embarrassed.”
Xie Qingqing whipped out her phone and video-called the customer service staff of QZL, claiming they had been sold faux goods and threatening to sue them. When they requested to see the item, Xie Qingqing showed them Feng Yao’s coat.
After examining the coat, the QZL staff responded, “Apologies, ma’am. This item wasn’t sold by us. It’s a fake.”
Feng Yao’s face turned red with anger. “That’s impossible! My friend bought this coat overseas. How can it be fake?”
