Once they reached the gates of Eaton, Su Zipei and Mu Qiqi both got off Old Lin's car from different sides and went inside.
The stylist had trained Su Zipei how to walk gracefully too. Though brief, Su Zipei grasped the key points, which were basically to hold her head high and keep her chest out. A person's posture was important here, since it presented a woman as prim and proper.
When Mu Qiqi looked around, she would notice that the other students would occasionally let their eyes linger on Su Zipeinot in mockery but in breathlessness.
Even the principal, who happened to pass by, watched as both herself and Su Zipei walked pass him, taking notice of Su Zipei's every step.
"Do I pass?" Su Zipei quickly asked her when no one else was around.
Mu Qiqi smiled and gave her a huge thumbs-up.
With Su Zipei holding her shoulder, they soon arrived near Mu Qiqi's classroom. Most students and their parents had arrived as well, including Mu Tangxue and Mama Mu.
They had come early to laugh at Mu Qiqi, but in the instant when Su Zipei stepped inside the classroom in her black coat, holding a handbag adorned with diamonds, they were left doubting their own eyes.
After all, Su Zipei was younger than every other parent present, being several years younger than Mama Mu as well. Her exquisite makeover naturally made her stand out, and she was much more eye-catching than Mama Mu.
"Dear...is that your aunt?"
Mu Tangxue nodded and turned to her mother. "Yes, Mommy."
"I don't believe it..." Mama Mu's chest was hot
Mu Qiqi even looked over to observe their reaction, and therefore smiled coldly. Sometimes she actually suspected that Su Zipei was her actual biological mother, and she had no relations with the mother-daughter pair over there.
Qian Qian quickly went to Mu Qiqi as she went to her seat. "Your aunt is so beautiful! What were you afraid of?"
"That's because you haven't seen how shameless some people can be. I'm just afraid my aunt would be bullied!" Mu Qiqi quietly replied.
"You don't have to be afraid. My mom and I are on your side."
And just as Mu Qiqi predicted, while the rest of the class were still waiting for more parents to come, Mama Mu had suddenly appeared before Su Zipei. "Look, my dear little sister looks simply extraordinary after her makeover."
However, Su Zipei completely ignored her, merely keeping her hand on Mu Qiqi's shoulder and having a lively conversation.
Left embarrassed, Mama Mu could only return to Mu Tangxue, just as the other parents giggled.
Su Zipei did not even looked at her!
On the other hand, Qian Qian's mother suddenly asked Su Zipei. "Your handbag..."
Mama Mu smiled coldly then. After all, Su Zipei was putting on airs to impress the other parentsthat handbag could only either be borrowed or a rip-off, and there was no way she could have gotten it on her own.
No even a rich wife like herself recognized the brand of that bag.
However, all her expectations were subverted. Su Zipei gave Qian Qian's mother a smile and explained, "That's right. The Queen of England once used something similar. There are only two in the world: one in Buckingham Palace, and you're looking at the other one."
"My goodness. It's so beautiful..."
Su Zipei then lifted the handbag and gestured it to the other woman. "Want to take a look?"
"Can I?" Qian Qian's mother was stunned.
"Of course." With that, Su Zipei passed her the bag, which she received carefully and looked through thoroughly.
However, that was when Mama Mu exclaimed, "Of course you can, because it's a fake!"
