Chapter 353 Broke Another One
"Mum, let''s not go into this store, they only sell a bunch of fakes. Let''s go somewhere else?" Qiu Mu-
Ying suddenly noticed that the store that her mother-inw wanted to enter was that shop she came
out from earlier, Women''s Country.
Because of what happened earlier, Qiu Mu-Ying didn''t have any good feelings about this shop.
She had even decided not too long ago that she would never set foot into this store again, but now she
had to go in once more.
"What do you mean by fakes? Women''s Country belongs to Shen Group and they''ve been in business
for decades. Their reputation has always been good. I''ve always bought things from here, so how could
they be selling fakes? If you end up with a fake from this shop, then nobody in Yunzhou is selling a
genuine one." Zhang Li was puzzled by what Qiu Mu-Ying said.
Women''s Country was one of the top high end shops in Yunzhou, and their target consumers were
generally women, so it was a hot favorite among rich wives like herself.
All these years, Zhang Li and her female friends had always bought things from here. She knew a lot of
wealthydies who even bought their wedding gowns from here when they got married and they never
ran into any quality issues. So Zhang Li really liked this shop.
But now Qiu Mu-Ying''s words were basically using Zhang Li of buying fakes for the past few
decades so Zhang Li immediately became a little offended.
Chu Wen-Fei could tell that his mother was a little ruffled, so he quickly tried to exin Qiu Mu-Ying''s
words away, "Mum, Yingying saw wrongly. The ce that sells fakes is a departmental store near her
house called ‘Woman Country'', and she got it mixed up with Women''s Country."
"Come along Mum, let''s just go in first," grinned Chu Wen-Fei as he quickly changed the topic and
pushed his mother into the shop.
Qiu Mu-Ying didn''t say anymore. Since there were some things her mother-inw didn''t like to hear,
she wouldn''t say them anymore.
Qiu Mu-Ying soon started walking around the shop with Zhang Li.
"Wen-Fei, Yingying, both of you can have a look first, I need to go to the bathroom and I''ll be right
back," said Zhang Li to the couple after walking around for a short while. Then she turned to walk
towards the bathroom.
But not long after Zhang Li left for the bathroom, there was a noise and the sound of something
shattering, followed by somemotion.
"Huh? Wen-Fei, what''s happened over there? Let''s go over and have a look."
Qiu Mu-Ying was a big busybody and always wanted to watch whenever there was amotion. Chu
Wen-Fei didn''t have a choice, and since his mother had gone to the bathroom, he went along with Qiu
Mu-Ying.
When they got closer, Chu Wen-Fei noticed that yet another vase had been broken by someone and
chuckled, "Oh goodness, and I was there wondering what happened."
"So another blind bat broke a vase. There''s nothing to look at. Yingying, let go over there and wait for
my mum." Chu Wen-Fei stuffed his hands into his pockets and turned away after a quick nce
because he had lost interest already.
But Qiu Mu-Ying looked in front in a daze and asked a little doubtfully, "Dear, look over there. Isn''t your
mum the one who broke the vase?"
"How could that be? My mum won''t be like that Qiu Mu-Cheng, she''s not so clum... SHIT! It''s really
her!" Chu Wen-Fei was about to say the word ''clumsy'' when he turned to see a middle ageddy with a
pale face in the middle of the crowd. His face immediately twitched and his eyes widened.
"Hurry, Yingying, let''s go over!" Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying quickly ran over.
Themotion on this side had already attracted a lot of attention.
"Why is our shop so unlucky today?"
"Earlier someone had broken a cloisonne vase and now someone has broken a blue and white
porcin one?"
"Go tell Mr Shen."
The staff in the shop grumbled as they picked up the shards while someone else went to inform the
shopkeeper.
Zhang Li''s face was all pale and it was clear that she had gotten a shock.
But she was a rich man''s wife and had seen quite a lot with Chu Wen-Fei''s father. So after a short
period of shock, she quickly calmed herself back down.
She pulled her purse out and said apologetically, "I''m really sorry. I walked too quickly and didn''t take
notice, so I ended up breaking your vase.” "Don''t worry, just tell me how much this vase is and I''ll pay
you. Is $100,000 enough to cover it?" said Zhang Li very apologetically. She was very kind towards the
staff and didn''t behave arrogantly at all.
"Mum, it''s just a stupid vase that costs a few hundred, you don''t have to pay
$100,000 for that. $1,000 is enough for the shopkeeper to thank his lucky stars." A snort came from

behind as Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei walked over.
"Yingying, don''t spout nonsense. I know this shop well and they mainly carry luxury items. Nothing here
sells for less than $10,000, regardless of whether it''s a disy piece or some other item," said Zhang Li
quickly to Qiu Mu-Ying.
She wasn''t making any of this up. Zhang Li remembereding with the wife of a CEO some years
back and she brought a small child along with her. The child was naughty and vandalized one of the
chairs in the shop. She thought that it was just a chair and it might just cost a few hundred at best, but
in the end the CEO''s wife ended up paying $50,000.
The shop didn''t fleece her. That chair was made from high grade rosewood from Hainan.
This sort of wood cost a few million per ton.
And that was just the cost of the materials. If you added on the cost of processing the wood, making
the chair and transporting it, then $50,000 for a chair wasn''t too much, actually.
Even a simple chair for people to sit on cost so much. That''s why Zhang Li offered $100,000 after
breaking this vase.
But after Zhang Li said this, Qiu Mu-Ying startedughing. "Mum, I''m not spouting nonsense. These
vases here look like antiques, but they''re all fakes. Four of them add up to only $800. If they make you
pay $100,000, then they''re fleecing you."
"Mum, just stand here and watch. Your daughter-inw is going to settle this for you," said Qiu Mu-Ying
with a smile as she consoled Zhang Li.
Qiu Mu-Ying was clearly going to take this chance to prove herself so that her future mother-inw
might like her more.
Once that happened, she was going to marry into the rich and powerful Chu family for sure.
At this time, Shen Meng was originally walking around with Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng, but after he
heard the news, he quickly ran over. And of course, Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng came along with him.
"Who is it?! Who broke my porcin vase?" Shen Meng''s angry shouting could be heard from afar.
Shen Meng soon got to where Zhang Li was and his heart started bleeding when he saw all the
porcin shards on the floor.
The four vases here were the face of Women''s Country, and they were practically Shen Meng''s life.
Before yesterday, the shop only had three vases but Shen Meng wanted to make it
an even number. So Shen Meng finally managed to convince the main store to loan him a cloisonne
vase so that these two pairs of vases could increase the prestige of the store.
The cloisonne vase was broken not too long ago and Shen Meng felt like a piece of him had been
bitten off already.
But Shen Meng never imagined that just a whileter, he would lose another blue and white porcin
one.
