Chapter 54: Millennium Dream Medusa

  "Oh dear, you little scamp, how dare you speak like that! I just had a flower..."

  "Haha, a flower? A cowherb flower? Auntie, you stepped on something and I told you it was wrong to step on things. You said something about tearing skirts and taking advantage of people, intentionally scolding others is not good, right? Look at this young brother, he's only in his teens, similar age to your son, how can he take advantage of you..."

  Speechless at the absurdity of it all.

  The people around gathered more and more, saw a young beautiful girl and a fat middle-aged woman arguing, heard the girl's words were reasonable, burst into laughter together.

  "Hum, Lin Feng doesn't know what bad luck he had in his past life to have a classmate like you!"

  That fat woman found she couldn't win an argument with the new girl, so she turned her attention to Zhao Zhigang, who was clearly not good at speaking.

  Zhao Zhiqiang stood at the far end and took another look, his younger brother was standing behind Lin Xue Rou, their mother was somewhat flustered and at a loss, holding onto her younger son, while that fat woman who had come to her senses had already put her hands on her hips, her pig-like eyes were about to glare!

  So that's how it was! My heart immediately felt a great deal of gratitude and affection towards Lin Xue Rou's actions just now. My younger brother's personality is a bit weak, and mom has never fought with other women before. It seems that if Lin didn't block her way, who knows what that fat woman would have done?

  He took three steps in two strides and hastily walked to the front door of that clothing store, standing on Lin Xue's right side.

  Lin Xue Rou took one look and saw that he had come out, a faint smile appearing on her face.

  That fat woman was just about to make a scene, but unexpectedly another young man appeared in front of the two people.

  Judging from their appearance, it seems that they are a family of three.

  However, she didn't want to give up. She just paused for a moment, pinched the jasmine flower with her thumb and index finger, "I'm telling you that rural old woman, what business does she have with a little girl like you? A dog catching a mouse..."

  Lin Xue Rou was not willing to show weakness, and coldly laughed, "Look at you, this auntie, your clothes are quite high-end, although they're all knockoffs, but you look like a government official. How can your mouth be so foul-mouthed? What's wrong with rural people? This auntie is about the same age as you, could it be that you can also be called 'fat old lady' or 'bucket auntie'?"

  Haha...

  The people around burst into laughter again!

  The fat woman's face turned as black as a pot bottom from laughing.

  "What's going on here? You think you can bully me just because I'm alone? Let me tell you, you have to be reasonable when doing things. She ruined my clothes and she has to compensate me! This is the latest style from French Christian Dior's high-end brand this year, a global limited edition, worth over 30,000 yuan!" As she spoke, she took out the clothes from her bag and shook them out for everyone to see.

  The clothes were just trampled and creased, but the packaging was still intact.

  Most of the onlookers around were women who only recognized high and low prices and storefronts, except for a few who truly understood taste.

  A woman came up and said, "This one, really, I've been looking at it on the official website for a long time but couldn't get an order."

  Lin Xueyu smiled slightly as she walked closer, picked up the label on the clothes and the packaging, pointed to one of the lines, and said, "Over 30,000? Hehe, you really know how to buy, this shirt looks exactly like the latest limited edition one, but yours is a fake Shishi pendant, if you bought it on Taobao, it would be around 2,000 yuan, and if you got it from a specialty store, they would charge you around 8,000. The real thing doesn't even have domestic distribution, and yet you managed to produce a Chinese label, hehe~"

  It's not just Lin Xue Rou who understands, half of the onlooking waiters are even more familiar with this, and what he's holding isn't even their merchandise. He immediately sticks his head out to take a look, and indeed, these clothes are really domestic knockoffs!

  "Tsk tsk, what's the point of using a fake one for a big garlic clove? Geez." Someone immediately felt bored and left.

  Many people looked at Fei Po with sarcastic eyes, the meaning was too obvious. You show off and show off, but you still bring fake stuff to a real store and get scolded...

  "No money is no money, don't pretend to be poor!"

  "Just look at her, dressed like a country bumpkin who's struck it rich. I think she can't even compare to this aunt's attire, simple and genuine. Who knows if what's hanging on her body is sable or rat fur?" Two waitresses joined in the attack one after another because they recognized that the woman standing at their shop entrance was none other than Lin Xue Rou, a lifetime member of Fan Si Zhe's store.

  That woman had her true nature exposed, and her face turned even redder in an instant!

  Just as he was about to pack up and leave, Zhao Zhiqiang smiled at Lin Xue and said, "Dr. Lin, you're here, what a coincidence! I'm not very good at picking out clothes for my mom, would you mind helping me choose a few sets that are suitable for the elderly in the Fang Shizhe store? There's still over a million yuan on this card."

  The woman didn't believe him and looked at Zhao Zhiqiang with suspicion, thinking of what else to say.

  Handed the card to Lin Xue Rou, turned around and calmly stood in front of the woman.

  "What? You want to cheat people, huh? Alright, let's go find a specialty store and the consumer association. First, we'll have them appraise your goods to see how much they're worth. Then, we can talk about the extent of the damage caused by this one mistake. If you lose, you'll compensate me! Look, I can buy dozens of these shirts with the money in my bag. Hmph, my brother is so pitiful, how did he end up being classmates with a son born to a mother who likes to wear counterfeit goods and show off?"

  As soon as the bag in his hand was opened, ten bundles of 100-yuan notes lay before Lin Feng's mother and the onlookers.

  "There's plenty of money, let's go get it appraised - Ah, you're a civil servant, huh? Haha, no wonder you're wearing knockoffs... But even if this outfit is fake, it must have cost over 10,000 yuan, right? Excuse me, sister, how much do you make in a month? I heard that civil servants in Linzhou only make around 2,000 yuan..."

  Zhao Zhiqiang smiled calmly, holding the money in a way that seemed to be throwing it at someone. He recognized the brand, but the woman's behavior was somewhat like that of an official, with a commanding tone and an air of superiority.

  "You, you! Hmph—"

  The fat woman, amidst the jeers of the crowd, couldn't even utter a complete sentence. She hastily gathered her torn skirt and quickly walked towards the escalator.

  Lin Xue Rou stood in the Versace store, watching Zhao Zhi Qiang drive away the fat woman, smiling and shaking her head. She stood in front of a silk scarf, carefully examining it. Zhao Zhi Gang stood in front of the clothes mirror, looking at his mother who was wearing new clothes and looked radiant, excitedly jumping out to call out to his brother.

  ……

  Lin Xue Rou's arrival really helped the Zhao brothers a lot. Hua Xue Mei was soon persuaded by her, and she chose two sets of winter clothes, linings, etc. from Fan Si Zhe's store and another brand-name store next door for just over 30,000 yuan, all of which were mid-to-low-end styles. Hua Xue Mei reluctantly accepted it, but in fact, she was still very excited - occasionally glancing at her eldest son, then looking at Lin Xue Rou...

  Along with Lin Xue Rou, she also helped the Zhao brothers and Old Man Zhao pick out a few sets of clothes. Following Zhao Zhi Qiang's usual low-key principle, he chose an unknown German brand for himself, but for his younger brother, he picked out youthful and fashionable styles. After several hours, more than 600,000 yuan had been spent, and the Zhao brothers' bodies were already laden with things.

  It wasn't until then that Zhao Zhiqiang asked Lin Xue Rou under his brother's reminder.

  "Xue Rou, you've taken up so much of my time, and also just now Xiao Gang's mother, if it weren't for you, maybe my mom would have been bullied by her, thank you."

  "Haha, no need to thank me. I was just out for a stroll since I didn't have anything else to do and had just finished my shift. I was planning to call you after making the rounds and dropping off the medicine on my way home, but it's great that we ran into each other. Let's bring the medicine together when we head out later. By the way, I didn't know you guys had moved down from the mountain."

  "Window shopping? Hehe, is it because of the new Fendi silk scarf and the Millennium Medusa that just went on sale for spring?" Zhao Zhiqiang saw her walk back and forth in front of that scarf at least three times.

  Priced at nineteen thousand eight hundred...

  Just like magic, from a large pile of bags in her hands, she took out an exquisite small box, inside which was the silk scarf she had looked at three times, the Millennium Dream Medusa.

  "Ah!" Lin Xue Rou's heart warmed up, "Sorry, I don't want it..."
