Chapter 240 - 241: Designer Bag
Unruly eyebrows and thin lips—the classic face of a heartless, disloyal, and irresponsible man.
Su Nian’s gaze swept to his forehead, where she noted his narrow glabella.
The glabella is an extremely important feature in physiognomy, as it offers a direct window into a person’s spirit and character.
It allows a face reader to quickly and intuitively perceive and interpret major events in a person’s life.
And the man behind Xiao Yu had a narrow glabella, indicating he was a jealous and calculating person.
Most importantly, a faint blackish-red aura lingered around his wealth palace. He had recently made a large sum of money, and this money was likely related to his romantic life.
"Host! Master, are you seeing anything?"
Su Nian frowned slightly. She glanced at the man behind Xiao Yu before returning her focus to the young woman’s face.
"You come from a poor background and have a weak connection with your birth parents. You must be an orphan."
At these words, Xiao Yu perked up. "Master, you’re amazing! My father passed away before I was born, and my mother died not long after I was born, so I became an orphan."
[Let me take a moment to pity this excited she-monkey.]
[What a tragic kid.]
[I can’t help but feel sad for her. To think she’s so happy on the surface, but her life is actually so tragic.]
[I never would have guessed such deep sorrow was hidden behind her bubbly personality.]
Su Nian nodded and continued, "But while your connection with your parents is weak, your family’s financial situation is excellent. If I’m not mistaken, your parents must have left you a considerable inheritance."
Xiao Yu’s expression changed again, this time becoming even more excited.
"Master, you’re seriously a psychic! Even though I grew up without a mom or dad, thanks to them, I owned eight properties the moment I was born."
As she spoke, she shot another sweet look at her boyfriend.
"And since my parents died early, I was raised by my aunt. My aunt is also very rich, so she just left me with a nanny. She wasn’t after my properties, either. I’ve been renting out all eight of them since I was young and have saved up a lot of money."
[Alright, I take back my sympathy.]
[I was just thinking that even though my parents saddled me with a million in debt the moment I turned eighteen, I don’t blame them at all. But now, I’m so jealous! I want that much money too!]
Xiao Yu giggled. "I’m not done showing off yet! My boyfriend is also super, super wonderful. He doesn’t have a lot of money, but whenever he earns any, he always buys me lots and lots of gifts."
"Look at this! He saved up for a long time to buy me this Louis Vuitton bag. It was really expensive—it cost fifty thousand!"
"Even though I’m well-off, this is my very first LV. Thank you, my dear boyfriend!"
With that, she hugged her boyfriend and gave him a kiss, then pulled out a beautiful bag from the side.
It looked very exquisite and pretty.
But Su Nian didn’t miss the awkwardness and withdrawal in the man’s eyes.
"Alright, babe, don’t show it off. There are so many people who can’t find a boyfriend. They’ll get jealous if they see you bragging like this."
While flashing a doting smile at Xiao Yu, his hand quickly moved the bag backward, out of the camera’s view.
His expression was very unnatural, but Xiao Yu completely fell for it. She even blushed bashfully at his words.
Her face red, she playfully tapped his chest.
"Oh, stop it, you!"
The man laughed out loud and wrapped his arm around her.
Su Nian: ...
’I’m getting too old to watch this kind of garbage.’
[This excited she-monkey is loaded, but her taste in men is terrible.]
[Let’s be real, this rich girl’s boyfriend is a little sketchy.]
[Even as someone who knows nothing about luxury goods, I feel like something is off. Why does it look like a fake?!]
[It doesn’t just ’feel’ fake, it IS fake. I was a sales associate at an LV boutique for years. I’ve seen plenty of fakes that could pass for real, but this is the first time I’ve seen one this obviously fake being given as a gift to a girlfriend.]
[I make fake bags for a living. The one that was just on screen? I bet it cost less than two hundred to buy.]
The man saw the scrolling comments and pulled Xiao Yu closer.
He was trying to distract her.
But unexpectedly, Xiao Yu, who was intentionally showing off, was staring right at the screen. When she saw these comments, her immediate reaction was uncontrollable rage.
She retorted indignantly, "What are you people talking about? My boyfriend bought this for me! He’s so good to me, why would he buy a fake to trick me!"
"I think you people are just jealous! Jealous that I have such a wonderful boyfriend."
How to put it... Su Nian looked at Xiao Yu, who looked like she was about to enter her villain arc, and didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, the viewers also got angry.
[Hey, why won’t this she-monkey listen to reason? It’s obvious he’s just after your money.]
[Forget it, forget it. Listen to the host. Don’t try to reason with people like her. What if you end up taking on the misfortune that was meant for her?]
[You damn lovesick fool, go ahead and cherish that two-hundred-buck piece of junk for the rest of your life!]
"Whoever says that again, I’ll curse you out! My boyfriend is the best person in the world, you’re not allowed to insult him like this!"
She glared at the screen. "My boyfriend is especially good to me, so please stop spouting nonsense! When I ran into trouble with some bad people, he was the one who stepped up and saved me. Whatever I do, he’s always the first person to stand up and support me! I won’t let you say these things about him!"
Then, she turned back to Su Nian.
"Host, you tell me. Is this bag real or fake?"
Honestly, for a moment, Su Nian couldn’t even tell if this girl was a spy sent by a rival. Such shoddy workmanship for fifty thousand?
But on the surface, Su Nian remained perfectly calm.
"Mhm. Yes, this bag is fake."
That was the sentence Su Nian uttered, right into Xiao Yu’s expectant gaze.
Xiao Yu’s face flashed through a spectrum of colors.
[See? I told you so, but you wouldn’t listen! So stubborn!]
[I really don’t get it. Are you brainless? Can’t you see what’s happening?]
[Yeah, a shoddy bag like that is worth fifty thousand? Not even a dog would believe that!]
Xiao Yu was stunned. She didn’t want to believe it, but the person who said it was, admittedly, very credible.
Glancing at the mockery in the comments, she felt dazed and embarrassed.
"Ah Ze, is this bag... fake?"
But the moment the words left her mouth, her boyfriend exploded.
"Yeah, that’s right, I bought a fake bag! So what?! I did it to make you happy! What did I do wrong? And now you’re siding with these random strangers on the internet to accuse me!"
"You’ve really disappointed me!"
She had barely gotten a single word out before her boyfriend stunned her with a machine-gun-like tirade.
After saying his piece, without waiting for Xiao Yu to speak, he stormed out and slammed the door behind him.
