[I’ve checked the price and I’m speechless. She’s too daring…]

[Is she mad?! Does she really think that the netizens are fools?]

[Not to mention anything else, the fashion industry will surely blacklist her. She’s shot herself before she even gains fame, let’s see how she’s going to handle the PR.]

[Hahahaha Dimpled Sister’s huge failure.]

[I just knew it, people like that won’t be popular for long, in fact, she’s not really all that good looking.]

[Not good looking +1]

…

News that Dimpled Sister wore imitation branded clothes became a trending topic. As Luo Qiao and the girls were eating, the negative entry had already risen to among the top ten hottest searches.

Mu Lan had a habit of checking Weibo when she was in the car, especially of late, she had been logging in frequently, as the fans’ fancy touting had made her feel really good. However, much to her shock, as she went into Weibo this time, she found it inundated with insults.

She was instantly stunned.

[Does it feel good wearing fakes? Isn’t it shameful?]

[I’m dedicating the song ‘Cool’ to you.]

[I feel embarrassed for you. It wasn’t easy becoming your fan. Is there a need for this vanity? If haute couture wasn’t available then you could have worn a cheaper dress. You’re too disgusting.]

[You’ve lost a fan, bye. I despise people like you.]

…

Through the rearview mirror, Luo Qiao saw that Mu Lan had turned rather pale. She asked the girl, “What’s the matter? What did you see?”

Su Ying leaned over to take a look, then her expression changed.

All these years with Gu Xiang, she had learned that celebrities avoided imitation goods like the plague.

Sucking in a breath, Mu Lan cooled down and logged out of her private message. She went into hot search and at once saw the Weibo that first pointed out she was wearing imitation goods.

When the blog owner gained the attention of everyone, she struck while the iron was hot and listed the prices of the clothes and accessories that Mu Lan was wearing. She also posted the screenshots of the live-stream, with the accompanying text: Have to say, it looks real. Have fun.

Mu Lan was at first so furious that she was trembling. But when she saw the price tags given against each of those items, she almost passed out.

In the front seat, Luo Qiao, who had no idea what was going on, asked in curiosity, “Well? What’s the matter? What happened?”

Mu Lan was stumped. She passed the cell phone to her, she slumped back against the seat as though life had lost all meaning.

When Luo Qiao figured out what had happened, she couldn’t help but started to laugh aloud, “But why didn’t they guess that you’re a kept woman, and would rather guess that you’re wearing fake goods?”

Rolling her eyes, Mu Lan said, “I’d like to know which sugar daddy would think nothing about giving his little lover a gown costing in the region of seven figures?! And not to mention that set of top-of-the-line luxury accessories, Daddy Luo!!”

It was no wonder the netizens said she was overly bold in her dressing, and this blogger’s first reaction would surely have been to assume these were imitation goods.

Luo Qiao smiled as she put the cell phone down to focus on driving. “Just wait, your Daddy Luo will help you slap their faces.”

…

During this time, the topic was still heating up on the internet.

[There’s no proof, so how could you be so sure that Dimpled Sister was wearing imitation goods, I think you people are just jealous.]

[Exactly, the gown in the live-stream screenshots is exactly the same as that on the official website, but you have to insist that she’s wearing an imitation, that’s too much!]

[Grade school kid above, you should stop reading news and go back to your homework! Earned it herself indeed? Tell me, how would an unknown actress earn so much money?]

[Dimpled Sister’s fans, do you guys know how much it will freaking cost if this get-up were genuine? Even Tang Moqi who is in that sort of position – there was once she wanted to borrow a gown of this brand for a magazine shoot, they wouldn’t even lend it to her, and you think Dimpled Sister has more clout than Tang Moqi?]

[Last commenter, are you quite alright? Did someone give you an appearance fee?]
