Chapter 548: Chapter 288: Show-off Habitual Offender Xue Chapter 548: Chapter 288: Show-off Habitual Offender Xue Feeling the astonished looks and expressions of two old friends, Zhao Yaqian inevitably felt a bit smug.

Her image in others’ eyes had indeed not been very good before.

But in the last three months, she had truly undergone a drastic transformation.

Just to keep her relatives from knowing, she dared not share updates on social media.

She had been holding her breath, and this time she could finally relish a bit of satisfaction.

She placed her handbag next to Zhang Mengchu.

Zhao Yaqian pursed her lips and smiled lightly, “What’s the matter? Don’t you recognize me?”

Chen Yue’s gaze followed her bag and subconsciously swallowed, “How could I not recognize you, of course I do.”

An Hermes Birkin, known as the “King of Handbags,” is one of the most famous bags from Hermes, highly sought after in the fashion world, and holds high resale value in the second-hand market.

She had once browsed the Hermes boutique with her ex-boyfriend while traveling in Gusu.

She had seen the same model with a cherry blossom pink color at that time.

Due to its popularity, buying it at the boutique required a long wait in line, and also a match to 300,000 yuan.

This condition of Birkin 30 could start from 150,000 yuan in the second-hand market.

At that time, she had been enviously rooted to the spot, but she knew her limits, such an expensive luxury was definitely not something her ex-boyfriend would buy for her.

So in the end, she just coyly asked for a scarf.

Even so, she was thrilled for quite a long time.

Now looking at that coveted and unreachable Birkin 30, then at Zhao Yaqian, stunning and towering in her fashionable attire, Chen Yue felt a wave of confusion.

Qianqian had asked her for a loan a few months ago, how could she suddenly become like this?

Although she had been exposed to some luxury with her ex-boyfriend, she didn’t know much about luxury goods.

If it weren’t for the Hermes Birkin, she wouldn’t be so surprised.

Or perhaps… was the bag a fake? A high-grade replica?

And her clothes and accessories, they looked of great quality, seeming rather expensive as well.

What exactly was going on with Qianqian? She had changed so much in just a few months!

No matter what, Chen Yue couldn’t correlate her with the naive and sweet classmate from the training class.

“Qianqian.” Zhange Mengchu came to her senses, stood up and sized up Zhao Yaqian, “You’ve changed a lot… you look so beautiful now.”

It’s not to say that Zhao Yaqian wasn’t beautiful before, but a person’s temperament and styling really affect their intrinsic charm.

As a beautician with over ten years of experience, Zhang Mengchu’s eye for these details was sharp.

The current Zhao Yaqian, dressed utterly like a wealthy beauty, was exuding a strong sense of elegance, constantly radiating a refined beauty.

This made her feel a great deal of pressure.

Such a nurtured feeling was very hard to fake.

At least not something the simple-minded Zhao Yaqian could disguise.

Like Chen Yue, who once always shared various luxury items, sports cars, and five-star hotels on social media.

But upon meeting again, her essence had not transformed.

It was a completely different situation from Zhao Yaqian’s.

“Thank you so much for the compliment, Teacher Zhang!” Zhao Yaqian immediately showed a big smile and affectionately hugged Zhang Mengchu.

She then opened her arms and hugged Chen Yue, “Long time no see, I’ve missed you, Yueyue.”

“Long time no see, Qianqian,” Chen Yue replied with mixed emotions.

Then, Zhao Yaqian glanced at the coffee shop staff nearby and smiled, “I saw you guys chatting just now, are you friends?”

“Yes, this is my high school classmate, Qian Lele, who is now studying at Yan City Normal University and working part-time here. I brought Teacher Zhang here for a coffee and a chat,” Chen Yue briefly introduced.

“Nice to meet you, Lele. You’re a university student, that’s wonderful!” Zhao Yaqian blinked, finding the other’s name quite interesting and easy to remember, “I am Yueyue’s classmate from Zhuoyue Training School, Zhao Yaqian.”

“Nice to meet you.” Qian Lele quickly responded, unable to help but look at Zhao Yaqian across the table.

Standing in the bright and clear coffee shop, her skin was fair and tender, her attire luxurious and elegant, making her incredibly dazzling.

Feeling her gaze, Qian Lele quickly lowered her head, discomfort evident as she moved her hands behind her back.

“Well… I should get back to work, you guys go ahead.”

Saying so, she quickly walked towards the workspace.

Zhao Yaqian took out her phone from her bag, ordered a cherry fruit tea at the counter, and sat down next to Zhang Mengchu.

Looking at the cake base on the table, she couldn’t help licking her lips and pinched a piece to taste.

With a curved smile, she exclaimed, “This is delicious!”

“Try the red velvet cake,” Zhang Mengchu pushed her dessert over.

Zhao Yaqian looked longingly at it, then shook her head vigorously, “No, thank you for the kind offer, Teacher Zhang. I’ve gained quite a bit of weight and am trying to lose it.”

Although relative to her height, the weight gain wasn’t very noticeable, Tang Song was returning to Yan City tomorrow, and she wanted to maintain as good a shape as possible.

“Alright then,” Zhang Mengchu did not insist further.

Chen Yue couldn’t sit still any longer, glancing at the Hermes on the table and rushing to speak first, “Qianqian, what are you working on now? Is that Hermes Birkin real or fake?”

Zhao Yaqian was stunned for a moment, but told the truth, “I resigned from the beauty salon recently, and I’m currently unemployed.”

She hesitated again, “This bag… was a gift from a friend.”

She didn’t know how to explain further, mainly because her relationship with “Miss Su” was quite special.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yue’s eyes twitched, “Uh…”
What kind of statement is that?

A 150,000 yuan second-hand valued Hermes bag, a gift from a friend?
