Just then, Qin Sitong, having found her books, walked over. She saw Ling Er and the few girls standing in front of her and gave Yun Zijin a questioning look, her eyes asking what had just happened.
"What’s wrong?"
"It’s nothing. Let’s just get to our reading."
The matter was already resolved anyway, and Yun Zijin didn’t want to bring it up just to make someone else angry over it.
The girls who had been taking photos moments before left feeling extremely resentful.
But Yun Zijin’s threat to hold them accountable made them hesitate, so in the end, they could only leave, fuming with resentment.
Once the girls left, the library finally grew quiet again.
Yun Zijin picked a random book from her pile, opened it, and started to read.
She hadn’t been reading for long before she felt a tug on her sleeve. Yun Zijin’s gaze followed the hand up to its owner: an impeccably dressed girl who was smiling at her.
Yun Zijin glanced coolly at the hand gripping her sleeve. The girl must have sensed Yun Zijin’s displeasure, because she sheepishly let go.
"Hi! I’m Pan Weiwei. You’re the campus belle of our school, Yun Zijin. I know who you are!"
"Is there something you need? If not, I’m going back to my book."
’I just wanted to come to the library and read for a bit. Why does everyone keep bothering me?’
"Well... I’ve been trying to buy this exact bag for a long time, but I’ve waited and waited and still couldn’t get one. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you manage to get it?"
The moment Yun Zijin entered the library, Pan Weiwei had noticed the diamond-buckle Birkin on her arm.
She had told her Hermes sales associate about it a long time ago. She never imagined that after waiting for two months, she’d see the very bag she was waiting for on someone else’s arm.
This left a bitter taste in Pan Weiwei’s mouth.
She had shown so much interest, spent a fortune on other products to build her purchase history, and waited for so long, only for someone else to snatch it up first. Anyone in her shoes would feel it was unfair!
Yun Zijin glanced at Pan Weiwei, confirming that she didn’t recognize her.
But since she was just asking about the bag, Yun Zijin didn’t mind answering.
"Oh, I just got it from the boutique."
’There’s no need to tell her how much I spent all at once, though.’
"I know you got it at the boutique. You... how much did you have to spend on other items to be offered the bag? Or, how long did you have to wait?"
Yun Zijin didn’t really want to answer. She knew that any SA juggled multiple clients, but the number of bags allocated by corporate was limited.
’Now that I have this one, anyone else who wants it will surely have to wait even longer.’
’I definitely can’t tell her I got the bag immediately after meeting the spending requirement. She might go and cause a scene at the boutique, and who knows what kind of trouble that would stir up.’
"Oh, I put in a request with my SA a long time ago and had to wait a while to get it. You requested one too? And you still haven’t gotten it?"
’I never thought I’d be able to lie so calmly with a straight face,’ Yun Zijin mused.
Hearing that Yun Zijin had ordered it a long time ago made Pan Weiwei feel slightly better.
But then the thought that another student at Dijing University had gotten one before her made her uncomfortable all over again.
She had already made inquiries: for the past few years, none of the great families of Dijing had children attending Dijing University. That meant she absolutely had the best family background there. For someone to get a diamond-buckle Birkin before her... what was the difference between that and a slap in the face?
Yun Zijin had no idea Pan Weiwei’s mind could spin such elaborate webs over a single handbag.
"Did you even get this bag through a legitimate channel? The color looks a little... off to me."
Pan Weiwei shot a glance at Yun Zijin’s bag and blurted out the question unexpectedly. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"Oh? If you say so."
Yun Zijin had no desire to argue with Pan Weiwei. ’For someone who couldn’t even get her hands on the bag to question the color of one I bought in person at the boutique... where does she get the nerve?’
"What do you mean, the color’s off? I was with Zijin when she got that bag. She bought it at the official boutique. Are you trying to say they’re selling fakes?
Maybe I should go ask them about it. Can fakes really make their way out of an official boutique?"
Qin Sitong couldn’t stand seeing Pan Weiwei baselessly accuse Yun Zijin, so she immediately clapped back.
"I... I was just making an offhand comment! I never said it was fake. Don’t you go making baseless accusations!"
’If they actually go to the boutique and name me, I can forget about ever buying a new bag from Hermes again.’
’If I can’t get the new bags, who knows how long my so-called ’sisters’ in those group chats will mock me.’
"Then I’m just making an offhand comment, too. You shouldn’t think too much about it,"
Qin Sitong replied airily, and Pan Weiwei’s face flushed with anger.
Her mood for reading ruined, she threw the book she’d taken from the shelf onto her seat, grabbed her Chanel bag, and stormed off.
Yun Zijin gave Qin Sitong a thumbs-up. "Nice comeback! How about I treat you to a big lunch today?"
"No, no, it’s fine. I was just telling the truth. It was her own fault for saying something so loaded with insinuation.
I couldn’t just let her slander you and claim you bought a fake!"
Qin Sitong didn’t think she’d done anything special; she had simply done what felt right.
"Nobody would’ve believed her anyway. Otherwise, those girls from before wouldn’t have been crowding around taking pictures of my bag."
True. Those group-buying socialites knew luxury goods like the back of their hand. There’s no way they can’t tell what’s real and what’s fake.
"That’s true."
The two of them read until 11:30 AM, then got ready to head to the school cafeteria for lunch.
After reshelving their books, the two of them packed their things and left.
Once outside the library, Qin Sitong habitually pulled out her phone and started scrolling through gossip sites.
When she got to the campus forum, her eyes went wide.
"Zijin! Quick, look!"
As she spoke, she shoved the phone in front of Yun Zijin, tapping on the topmost post.
The post was a high-definition surveillance video showing Yun Zijin entering the library, looking for her books, and then returning to her seat.
In addition to the video, the post included screenshots of Yun Zijin’s face, along with a detailed breakdown of her clothes, shoes, and even her bag and accessories.
’If I didn’t know for a fact that I bought all this myself,’ Yun Zijin thought, ’even I would be convinced I was a sugar baby after seeing this post.’
’To get their hands on the library’s surveillance footage, they either had to be an insider, have hacking skills, or hire a hacker to steal the video.’
The post had been published at 10:00 AM, while she and Qin Sitong were still reading.
In the half hour since, a considerable number of people had already commented.
—Wow! Looks like the campus belle’s sugar daddy is pretty loaded. That whole outfit must be worth a few million, right?
—Our campus belle lives up to her name! Even her sugar daddy is a billionaire. It really pays to be beautiful!
—This video only proves her clothes and jewelry are expensive. We haven’t even seen the supposed "sugar daddy," so how can you prove she’s being kept?
—The user above has a point, but everyone knows the campus belle has to work part-time jobs to cover her living expenses. You can’t afford these luxury items on a part-time salary.
