Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 6 - Collecting the First Pot of Gold

"Your skin is exquisite, so using this toner will be extremely effective for you. Although it's only from a second-tier brand, this girl's set of skincare products are really good."

"Jiaojiao, how come you know so much?"

"Uhh...I have a friend who likes this type of stuff."

"Jiaojiao, quickly help me and have a look; does this dress suit me?"

"It would suit your mum, but it doesn't suit you. Sister Aiyan, come, try this dress instead."

"A little black dress? But, I've never worn something like this before."

"You won't know you don't like it until you give it a try."

Xu Qi, who was initially a boyfriend and a cousin, was now reduced to a porter as he was left to carry all the shopping bags as he bitterly followed behind the two girls. His heart had an ominous premonition. He felt that his years of savings would quickly dwindle in the hands of these two girls.

During this time, Xu Qi developed a new understanding of Xu Jiaojiao. His previously dull cousin had now become more cunning as all it took was a simple 'I'm so envious; I've never received a gift from cousin before!' and Zhang Aiyan would ask him to buy a gift for her. Being the boyfriend that he was, how could he bear to let his girlfriend pay. Consequently, after buying the first 'gift', it then moved onto a second item, and then the third item. From skincare products to clothes, as well as shoes; Xu Jiaojiao received something new from head to toe.

"Jiaojiao, let's have fun together again next time."

Zhang Aiyan shouted to Sheng Jiaoyang as they dropped Xu Jiaojiao off at the subway station.

"That little girl didn't even say goodbye after buying her so many things!" Xu Qi said as he ground his teeth together.

Zhang Aiyan hugged Xu Qi's arm and laughed. "Your cousin is quite interesting! Her taste and knowledge regarding international brands is so extensive. It's as if she'd experienced them all before. I could tell that she's exerted a lot of effort in this area, and the most amazing part is that she was also admitted to one of the most prestigious universities. She's truly awesome!"

Which part of her was awesome?! She was clearly a child prodigy!

Xu Qi, who'd been pushed to the edge and had so extravagantly spent his savings till nearly half of it was gone, felt an extreme amount of heartache. He'd initially been intending to buy a car worth one hundred thousand dollars, but now that his pockets had shrunk so severely, he could only push back his plans.

If his cousin hadn't been filled with so many ideas, then that would've been fine. But, when she did, she executed it with deadly precision.

By the time Sheng Jiaoyang returned home, the sun had already set.

As soon as she entered the house, she was so terrified that her heart almost burst from her chest. The inside of the house was dim due to the lack of sunlight, and all she could make out was a figure sitting at the dining table, facing the door. With her myopia, she had a limited range of sight which made her think that she could see a ghostly shadow.

Sheng Jiaoyang stretched out her hand and turned on the light to see that it was just Xu Qing, causing her heart to feel relieved. As soon as she had enough money, the first thing that she'd do was to have her eyesight corrected! Even if this body was currently healthy, if it was often shocked like this, sooner or later it would suffer from heart failure.

Xu Qing was also startled. She saw her daughter entering the room while carrying multiple shopping bags, and nervously asked, "Jiaojiao, how did you buy so many things?"
