Chapter 40: Chapter 40: A Dispute Caused by a Bag
Zhou Qin has borne the reputation of being the other woman for many years, but she finally, through shrewd thinking, managed to win the favor of the Lin Family. Now, outside the Lin Family, no one rembers Lin Cheng’s original wife, and even how Zhou Qin supplanted her has been completely forgotten.
Upon hearing this, Lin Cheng also feared the embarrassnt it could cause, so he hinted to Zhou Qin, “Send her away quickly to avoid losing my face.”
At that mont.
Lin Qianqian, arm in arm with Su Yuan, made her official entrance.
Su Yuan’s parents were also present.
They were all dressed formally, clearly indicating the Su Family’s dissatisfaction with their future daughter-in-law, Lin Qianqian.
...
“Uncle, Aunt!” Su Yuan politely greeted, presenting the gifts with both hands.
Mr. Su also cheerfully responded, “Father-in-law, Mother-in-law!”
Zhou Qin bead with joy and hurried to seat them.
Just then, a shrill voice exclaid, “That’s my bag!”
Everyone was startled by the voice and looked in its direction, only to see a regally dressed woman marching toward Lin Qianqian, glaring intently at the bag in her hands and gritting her teeth, “That’s the Himalaya I ordered! The store manager said it was reserved for , and I haven’t had ti to pick it up yet. Just a few days ago, they called to say it had been picked up by soone else. It turns out it was you!”
Who is this woman?
The people present began to murmur.
This doesn’t seem like a guest invited by the Lin Family, and with her imperious deanor, her background doesn’t appear simple.
Huo Tingdong recognized this woman; she seed to be the wife of a school director from Windsor High School, Mrs. Fang, who was known to be very high-profile in her social dealings.
Lin Qianqian didn’t recognize her, frowned, and asked, “Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about? This bag is mine, given to by my fiancé!”
Mrs. Fang retorted, “This is the bag I ordered, I’ve already paid for it, so either your bag is a fake, or you intercepted the bag ant for !”
Lin Qianqian was shocked, “How could this bag be a fake? My fiancé spent 5.6 million on it, and we have the receipt and proof from the official boutique!”
She was the first to own the new Himalaya model; this woman suddenly claid it was hers, on what basis?
Mrs. Fang said, “5.6 million? Do you know how much I spent at Hers to be eligible to get this bag? The money I spent was far more than 5.6 million!”
Lin Qi felt her heart skip a beat.
Since custor data on the auction site was confidential, she had no idea until now that Su Yuan was the one who bought the bag, and Lin Qianqian even less suspected that she was the bidder.
No wonder the store manager looked so displeased when he handed over the bag.
It was this woman’s after all.
To get this bag, she must have spent a lot, and it’s no surprise she was furious that soone else walked away with it.
However, Hers being what it is, Mrs. Fang naturally did not dare to trouble them too much. But seeing Lin Qianqian flaunting the bag, she could hardly contain her resentnt!
Lin Cheng asked, “And who are you?” Naturally protecting his daughter, he grew displeased with the woman’s arrogant attitude.
Mrs. Fang snapped, “Who am I to you?” She wasn’t a guest in this hall, and had mistakenly entered the wrong one, not expecting to run into Lin Qianqian and spot the bag she carried.
Lin Qianqian expressed her grievance, “Today is my dad’s birthday, a rare joyful occasion. Are you here to cause trouble?”
Mrs. Fang glared, “Cause trouble? You think you’re worthy of my causing trouble?”
“Oh!” Zhou Qin sarcastically remarked, “Such a high and mighty attitude! Which family’s wife are you to act so imperious?”
Mrs. Fang responded, “And who might you be, a vulgar troublemaker? Just because you wear a few branded items doesn’t an you amount to anything!”
Huo Tingdong watched coldly.
He suddenly realized that Lin Qi selling the bag for 5.6 million was indeed a wise move.
Mrs. Fang was notoriously aggressive in high society circles; she not only had a powerful family background, but her husband was also a director of several prestigious private schools, a prominent figure who spent money freely and dominantly.
Although Mrs. Fang wouldn’t dare provoke him directly, gauging whom to confront, he preferred not to get entangled with the high society’s “Iron Lady.”
Mrs. Fang proclaid, “This quarter, Hers only delivered five of these bags worldwide. This bag is the one I ordered; I don’t care by what ans you acquired it, just hand it over to !”
Lin Qianqian retorted, “I bought it with money, why should I give it to you?”
“How much?” Mrs. Fang asked, “Na your price, and I’ll pay!”
Lin Qianqian was taken aback.
She had t her match.
She thought that marrying into the Su Family would secure her a place among high society, little knowing there were always more influential figures above her; she thought carrying a Himalaya bag would grant her entry into high society circles, little knowing the domineering individuals that overshadowed her.
Lin Qi truly opened her eyes.
Poverty limited her imagination.
She had no clue just how wealthy the upper echelons of high society were, to go to any lengths to secure a single bag.
She had just been happy about making a clear profit of four million, but to others, it wasn’t even enough to buy a bag!
Lin Qianqian asked, “Who exactly are you?”
“6 million!” Mrs. Fang seed tired of the argunt, “I advise you to be sensible.”
Lin Qianqian clung to Su Yuan’s arm, “Su Yuan! Say sothing!”
Su Yuan’s face turned pale, and he said to Lin Qianqian, “Stop talking.”
Su Yuan’s parents were also holding back their anger.
It turned out that the 5.6 million was money Su Yuan had embezzled from the company’s accounts. Mrs. Su usually kept tight control over their finances; how could she allow her son to spend 5.6 million on a bag?
“Su Yuan, did you buy this bag for Qianqian?” Mrs. Su asked incredulously.
Su Yuan remained silent.
Lin Qianqian also realized sothing terrible, imdiately guessing where Su Yuan had gotten the money, and fell silent.
Mrs. Su incredulously said, “You actually embezzled company funds to buy her a bag?”
Mr. Su nervously pulled her, “Keep your voice down, can’t we discuss this at ho?”
Mrs. Fang sneered disdainfully, “So it was company money you stole to buy it! Truly outrageous. Just a leech living off his parents, trying to please his girlfriend by misusing company funds! What would you do once you’re married, risk the company for this disaster?”
Mrs. Su’s face turned even greener.
Su Yuan said to Lin Qianqian, “Qianqian, maybe we should return the bag?”
Lin Qianqian’s eyes brimd with tears, and she was speechless with anger, “Su Yuan?! What are you saying…”
Su Yuan fell silent again.
The atmosphere beca extrely awkward.
Lin Qianqian looked around, especially noticing Lin Qi sitting in the corner enjoying the drama, and her frustration flared without an outlet.
Su Yuan had once again made her lose face in front of Lin Qi.
Today, she had clearly intended to regain so respect in front of Lin Qi, but it had turned into a huge embarrassnt!
