Chapter 169: Who on Earth is This Plainly Dressed Girl!

Shen Chutang feigned surprise. "Did I really call it?"

Shen Duoduo stared at Shen Chutang and said viciously, "Was it you? You ruined my new bag. Pay for it!"

The attendees coming to the exhibition hall for the fashion show today were all wealthy and of high status, and quite a few people were coming and going through the entrance. Naturally, Shen Duoduo's sharp voice attracted the attention of many onlookers.

Pointing at Shen Chutang, Shen Duoduo said harshly, "It must have been you! You must be jealous that I have this backpack, so you deliberately ruined it. Pay for my bag!"

Shen Chutang smiled. "This bag has been in your hands from the beginning to the end. How could I have had the opportunity to damage it? Besides, it is just a bag for grocery shopping—why would I be jealous of it?"

Shen Duoduo snorted coldly. "You really do boasting without blinking an eye. You use a bag worth more than sixty thousand to buy groceries?"

Qi Shangwu chimed in, "That's right! I bought this bag myself from the boutique counter to give to Duoduo. How dare you call it a grocery bag? Don't lump your cheap street-market goods together with this bag!"

Shen Chutang looked at Qi Shangwu. "A bag bought for five hundred from the second-hand market counts as being bought from a boutique counter?"

Qi Shangwu's expression turned awkward for a split second, and driven by shame and anger, he directly swung a slap at Shen Chutang. "If you talk nonsense again, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

The next second, his hand was gripped tightly by Lu Beiqin, unable to break free.

"Let go! You lowlife dare to lay a hand on me? Believe me, I'll let you—Ah!"

Before Qi Shangwu could finish his threat, a piercing pain shot through his wrist. "Let go, let go, my hand is going to break!"

Lu Beiqin threw him to one side and said coldly, "If you dare to lay hands on her again, I'll cripple your hand!"

Clutching his hand, Qi Shangwu did not dare to move, full of apprehension toward Lu Beiqin.

Shen Duoduo had finally managed to hook up with a "big spender" who could support her family's business and was quite generous to her, but she never expected that this Shen Chutang would deliberately make things difficult for her!

Pointing at Shen Chutang, Shen Duoduo cursed loudly, "Don't go too far! You're nothing more than a cleaner, and yet you treat distinguished guests like us this way? You even dare to slander us, claiming that my bag, which is worth tens of thousands, is a five-hundred-dollar cheap piece of junk! What are your intentions?"

Seeing this, the people nearby also began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

"Just by looking at this young woman's outfit, she clearly doesn't look like a cleaner. Why does she keep running the other person down?"

"This bag is obviously authentic. Anyone would be angry if it were called cheap goods, right?"

"In my opinion, some people just suffer from wealth envy and keep making things difficult for the rich!"

Unflustered, Shen Chutang opened her phone, logged into her second-hand marketplace app, pulled up the order for the bag she had sold, and said, "This serial number—look familiar? This stain—does it ring a bell?"

Shen Duoduo stared blankly at the screen. Could this bag really have been a second-hand bag sold by Shen Chutang?

Otherwise, how could the location of the stain and the serial number in the photo be an exact match?

The crucial point was that this bag had indeed been sold by Shen Chutang for five hundred dollars, simply because in Shen Chutang's eyes, it was just a bag used for grocery shopping, and since it was a little dirty, she had practically given it away for half-selling, half-gifting.

And yet she had treated it like a precious treasure, carrying it carefully and even showing it off in front of Shen Chutang, when in reality it wasn't worth mentioning in the eyes of its original owner!

Qi Shangwu still tried to deny it. "Duoduo, listen to my explanation. This must be fake, I..."

Shen Duoduo swung her bag directly and started beating him across the face. "Good one, Qi Shangwu! You bought a five-hundred-dollar bag and lied to me that it was from a boutique counter, you bastard!"

Consumed by rage, Shen Duoduo kept hitting him. Driven to shame and anger by the beating, Qi Shangwu cursed loudly, "The only reason you're with me is for my money! You should be grateful that I'm willing to pay attention to you—who else would deign to be with you!"

Hearing this, Shen Duoduo became even more furious, her face flushed red and her neck swollen, and she immediately lunged at Qi Shangwu, kicking and hitting him relentlessly.

The commotion here quickly attracted the exhibition hall's security guards, who promptly drove the two of them out.

The people who had just been watching the spectacle now did not dare to underestimate Shen Chutang.

Just ask, which cleaner in the world could casually treat a fifty to sixty thousand dollar bag as a grocery bag, and sell it for a mere five hundred dollars just because it got a tiny smudge on it?

"What is going on here?"

Just at that moment, Ye Pianpian walked out.

Seeing Ye Pianpian, the crowd naturally recognized her as the fashion designer for tonight's show. Since Ye Pianpian enjoyed widespread fame abroad, these people had all come specifically for her.

Just as the crowd was thinking of stepping forward to greet her, they unexpected saw Ye Pianpian walk directly toward Shen Chutang. "You guys finally made it. Come on in."

With that, everyone watched with their own eyes as Ye Pianpian took Shen Chutang's hand, chatting and laughing intimately.

They couldn't help but wonder just who this plainly dressed girl really was!
