Tian Jingjing finally snapped out of her daze, abruptly gripping the woman's arm. Her voice suddenly rose, filled with urgency and resentment: "You...you help me take a closer look! We can't possibly have no genuine items at all, can we?"

"Okay, then I'll take another look for you."

After saying that, the two buried their heads in examining the wardrobe full of items.

In the end, the two of them picked out only a few items from the wardrobe.

Tian Jingjing looked closely and realized that the items she had picked out were the same ones that Sun He had bought for her when he took her shopping.

She looked at the two of them with some surprise, "Is that all?"

“That’s right,” the two answered decisively.

At this moment, Tian Jingjing couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly asked, "Then how much money can you give me for these?"

The tall woman stepped forward and examined each of the selected items one by one. Finally, she picked out two bags and said, "The rest have no recycling value. We'll give you a maximum of two thousand for these two bags."

Tian Jingjing felt like the sky was falling, and her voice changed: "Two thousand? Are you sure you're not mistaken? I spent a lot of money on it!"

"Miss, the price we offer is already top-notch in this industry. If you think it's too low, you can go ask other places. We won't serve you anymore!" The short woman was already impatient and picked up her things, pretending to leave.

She thought she would make a big sale today, so she specially requested to come along, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a cabinet full of counterfeit goods.

Seeing that the other person was about to leave, Tian Jingjing gritted her teeth and resolutely replied, "Fine, fine! Two thousand it is!"

Now that things have come to this, every penny counts, even if it's just two thousand yuan, which is nothing but a drop in the bucket and can't solve her immediate crisis.

The tall woman quickly transferred the money to her, while the short woman neatly packed the two bags and prepared to take them away.

Just then, a thought flashed through Tian Jingjing's mind. She remembered the necklace Ji Lun had given her for her birthday and quickly called out, "Wait a minute, I have another necklace here. Can you help me see how much it's worth? I've only worn it a few times, and it's in very good condition, not damaged at all."

As she spoke, she took out a blue velvet box from the drawer.

"Miss, if it's another gift from your boyfriend, I advise you not to waste your time taking it out. It's just a waste of our time."

The short woman was walking towards the door with her bag in her hand when Tian Jingjing immediately stopped her, her eyes even showing a hint of pleading.

"Just take a look! This necklace seems to be real. I'm really short of money, can you help me take a look?"

"To be honest, in our line of work, we've seen all sorts of rich wives and heiresses, and plenty of mistresses and gold diggers. Judging by your appearance, your background probably isn't exactly respectable. I've seen arrogant and domineering people, and cunning ones, but someone as naive as you is truly a first. That man gave you a whole cabinet of counterfeit goods, and you were completely oblivious! Tell me, what's the point of being a mistress?" The short woman's hand was already on the doorknob.

At this moment, Tian Jingjing disregarded the humiliation she had suffered, her words filled with pleading, "Just one look. If this is also a fake, then... I'll accept it..."

As Tian Jingjing murmured her last few words, the image of Ji Lun traveling thousands of miles to her hometown just to give her this necklace flashed through her mind, and her eyes shone with the last glimmer of light.

"Alright! I'll take a look for you." The tall woman shook her head helplessly.

The two women couldn't help but show surprise the moment the box was opened.

The short woman quickly took out professional tools from her bag and examined them several times.

Tian Jingjing stood to the side, too nervous to even breathe, and tentatively asked in a soft voice, "How is it?"

"This man still has some conscience; at least he bought a real one. This model holds its value quite well; we can give you 50,000," the short woman said as she put the tools back into her bag.

"Okay! Then fifty thousand!" Tian Jingjing's eyes glistened with tears as she grabbed the woman's hand, as if grasping at the last straw.

That evening, at a hotel owned by the Lu Group.

After taking a shower, Ji Lun casually wrapped himself in a towel, sat lazily in front of the computer, and started looking for apartments online.

Just as he moved the mouse to browse information, a headline suddenly popped up. He glanced at it casually; the title was eye-catching: Shocking! A man in Guangzhou won 1.5 billion yuan in the lottery! He won't need to work hard for several lifetimes!

Ji Lun instantly recalled the recruitment advertisement from the underground boxing gym, which read: "Earn 50,000 per hour! Absolutely high-paying job, come if you dare!"

Only those who have been there know how difficult it was to earn that 50,000 yuan.

On stage, the slender man stood amidst a group of dark-skinned, muscular men who worked out regularly, looking like a lamb that had strayed into a pack of wolves, utterly defenseless and desperately dodging left and right.

What was supposed to be an intense combat sport was turned into a cat-and-mouse escape game by him.

Fortunately, he learned some techniques from them and developed some muscle mass. Although he still lost often, he was not beaten as badly as before!

Looking at the constantly flashing words on the screen, Ji Lun's lips curled into a self-deprecating sneer: "Another clickbait headline!"

Just as I was about to close the news, my phone, which was lying next to me, suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and saw it was his talkative colleague, Xiao Tang.

The man shook his head helplessly, swiped to answer the call, and said irritably, "Hey Tang, if you're really that bored, go find a girlfriend. What's with calling me in the middle of the night?"

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Tang's voice was urgent and excited: "Jilun, hurry...hurry..."

"What's the rush? Is your house on fire?" Ji Lun frowned.

"Quick...quick, check today's winning numbers! I...we think we've won!" Xiao Tang's voice was trembling.

"What did you say?"

"I said, we've won the lottery!" Xiao Tang shouted, followed by a scream.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lun hurriedly looked at the page on the computer screen that was about to be closed.

He nervously picked up the lottery ticket from the table, carefully checked the numbers, and froze on the spot!

It turns out that the mysterious person who won 1.5 billion was actually him!

This...this is unbelievable!

"Jilun, Jilun, say something! Are you still there?" Xiao Tang on the other end of the phone didn't hear a response for a long time and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Ji Lun took a deep breath and slowly uttered two words: "I'm here..."

Hearing the man's relatively calm voice, Xiao Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief: "When I found out the winning numbers, I was also quite shocked. I only won 15 million, and I already had the madness of Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination. Are you... okay with your heart?"
