Chapter 19 - Raising Money

Chapter 19: Chapter 20 Raising Money Mu Shini took the subway back to the small apartment Li Xiaotian rented near their university. As soon as she walked in, she saw Li Xiaotian sitting cross-legged on the sofa, hugging a plate of snacks and crying while watching a Korean drama.

As soon as Li Xiaotian saw Mu Shini return, she quickly wiped her tears and looked at her in astonishment, "Nian Nian! Why are you back? Last night, after you went to the bathroom, where did you go? I couldn’t find you after

Li Xiaotian sat down next to Mu Shini, her eyes falling on Mu Shini’s dress, exclaiming, "Nian Nian! When did you become so willing to buy such an expensive dress? You used to spend your money buying things for the kids at the welfare home!"

Li Xiaotian started examining Mu Shini’s dress, carefully feeling the fabric, clicking her tongue, "Nian Nian, take it off and let me wear it for a bit. Let me feel what it’s like to wear a dress worth hundreds of thousands!"

"It’s just a piece of ragcloth, why are you so excited?" Mu Shini looked at Li Xiaotian indifferently.

"Nian Nian, do you know who I am? I’m a crazy fan of luxury goods, even though I don’t dare to buy them! I have a cousin who’s a manager at the GUCCI counter in Qingcheng, China Region! I’ve seen her post about this dress on her social media. It’s a limited edition dress you can’t even buy with money! It’s worth 800,000 yuan!" Li Xiaotian scrutinized Mu Shini’s dress, touching it all over. "Even the big celebrities can’t buy it with money! And now, you’re wearing it! Quickly, take it off and let your sister try it too!"

"Pshaw! Xia Tian, you’ve overthought it! It’s just a knockoff! I’ll definitely report Uncle Hei Che for selling fakes to me and this clothing store too!" Mu Shini had no concept of these luxury goods; she only vaguely knew about this big brand’s existence and had no idea how to tell the genuine from the fake.

And she was convinced that Uncle Hei Che got her a knockoff!

Hearing Li Xiaotian say it’s worth 800,000 yuan, she was a bit shocked.

But then she thought, that stingy Uncle Hei Che, who even scammed her for 500,000 yuan in service fees, would never buy her an 800,000 yuan GUCCI dress.

Right, Uncle Hei Che definitely got her a knockoff!

"Nian Nian! What did you say? Uncle Hei Che is that generous? Introduce him to me too! A rich person like that doesn’t just fall out of the sky..." Li Xiaotian swallowed nervously.

"Uncle Hei Che tore up my dress last night, so I made him pay for it." Mu Shini munching on snacks, glanced at Li Xiaotian and said, "Xia Tian, stop overthinking. How could that stingy guy afford an 800,000 yuan dress for me? He’s not stupid!"

Otherwise, why would he ask her for 500,000 yuan in service fees?

"Nian Nian, I guarantee this dress is genuine! It’s definitely authentic! Limited edition!" Li Xiaotian said with extreme seriousness to Mu Shini.

"Alright, let’s stop talking about this! Help me figure out how to gather 500,000 yuan in a week! I need it to save my life! If not, you’ll only see me on the news in a week..." Mu Shini looked at Li Xiaotian with great concern, sending her desperate looks for help!

"What do you need 500,000 yuan for?" Li Xiaotian asked, puzzled, looking at Mu Shini.
