"This is the latest model of bracelet. Look at the star and moon design; it's the most popular style right now and perfect for young and beautiful girls. Miss, would you like to try it on?"
The salesperson enthusiastically promoted his product.
Ning Hong watched as her younger sister, Ning Xiaoquan, reached out her hand, glanced at her, and then withdrew it, seemingly afraid of being scolded by him, looking anxious and uneasy.
He glanced at the velvet box on the table, on which lay a pair of platinum bracelets.
I glanced at the price of the platinum bracelet again.
Yes, and the price is just as beautiful.
"Brother, I—"
The saleswoman, wearing white gloves, picked up a bracelet and reached out to pull Ning Xiaoquan's hand, preparing to put the bracelet on. However, Ning Hong suddenly reached out and stopped the saleswoman's action.
"I don't like this one, let's choose another."
Ning Hong said calmly.
"This one is really suitable for this little sister. Look at its star and moon design, it's so pure and full of vitality."
"Look how beautiful your sister is."
Ning Xiaoquan is indeed very good-looking.
Her clothes were very ordinary, a very casual white shirt and black trousers.
But youth is the best beauty product.
Even though Ning Xiaoquan wore minimal makeup, it still couldn't hide her beauty.
Bright eyes and white teeth, flawless snow-white skin, large, clear eyes, and long, curled eyelashes.
She's the kind of person who, as soon as she walks down the street, attracts many people who turn around to steal glances.
"Being good-looking is innate and has nothing to do with whether or not you wear a bracelet."
Ning Hong replied coldly.
Before coming here, he had already received the plot, which meant that he absolutely could not put this bracelet on his wrist.
The female protagonist of this world is named Song Xue.
A very innocent girl.
Believing in the inherent goodness of humanity, we are filled with anticipation for the world.
She is a student at F University, with excellent grades, and works part-time at a jewelry store.
One day, thanks to a TV series, a star and moon bracelet became popular.
Almost every girl hopes that someone will put this star and moon bracelet on her wrist.
Song Xue and her colleagues were no exception.
However, these bracelets were expensive; they couldn't afford them themselves, and no man was willing to buy them for them.
The colleague looked at the sparkling bracelet and couldn't resist secretly taking it out and trying it on.
However, her wrist was a bit too big, so once it went in, it couldn't be pulled out.
The two struggled for a while before the colleague finally managed to pull the bracelet out, but it was clear that the bracelet was deformed and twisted.
This bracelet costs 9,900 yuan, and its name signifies longevity.
For many people, it wouldn't be expensive, but for the two of them, it was an astronomical price. Both of them were temporary workers, earning less than a thousand yuan a month.
"Song Xue, what should we do?"
The colleague held up the bracelet and asked.
Song Xue silently took a step back. "I don't know either."
To be honest, this matter has nothing to do with her.
Although she enjoys helping others, she knows she can't help with this matter. Her family is of modest means, and it's already a great effort for her parents to send her to university. She doesn't want to add any more trouble for them.
After thinking for a moment, the man put the bracelet back and begged Song Xue not to tell anyone about it.
She wanted to pass the buck to the customers who had tried the bracelet the next day.
Of course, she succeeded.
Ning Xiaoquan was the guest she chose.
The Ning family was an ordinary family. Ning's mother was a housewife who occasionally took on odd jobs such as beadwork to supplement the family income. As for her father, he was an employee of a company and earned a modest salary to support the family.
The family had no worries about food or clothing, but their lives were far from comfortable.
Ning Xiaoquan was exceptionally beautiful from a young age. Whenever her parents took her out, she would always attract admiring glances from many people. They said she could be a big star, and that she could marry into a wealthy family and become a young mistress.
As she grew older, more and more people began to send her love letters and express their affection for her.
Later, Ning Xiaoquan was admitted to a high school in the city and then to a university in Beijing.
The more she learned, the less she respected herself.
Aside from her looks, she has nothing that can compare to others.
They have several thousand yuan a month for living expenses, which they can use to buy cosmetics, jewelry, beautiful clothes, and even save money to support their idols.
Her monthly living expenses are just enough.
Aside from food, there was very little left.
She's not as rich as others, and no matter how pretty she is, she doesn't know how to dress like them.
It looks a bit rustic.
Her classmates even gave her a nickname: Earth Swan.
Some female classmates who were jealous of her looks would always look at her with an unsophisticated perspective.
As the narrator chattered on about the latest fashion trends, jewelry, and even bags and cosmetics, she remained completely bewildered.
Seeing her like that, her classmates all burst into laughter.
Completely ignoring her distressed expression.
Ning Xiaoquan started shopping with her classmates, saving money to buy things she could afford. Watching them buy what they wanted without batting an eye, she felt a mix of emotions.
No woman dislikes dazzling jewelry, nor does any woman dislike beautiful dresses and various bags.
She started working to earn money.
And she used all her salary to buy these things, making herself look more and more dazzling.
The turning point came with this bracelet.
The popularity of the TV series has made this bracelet a hot seller.
Ning Xiaoquan naturally liked the star and moon bracelet as well.
However, the price was a bit too high for her.
She went to the mall intending to try something out, but somehow one of her bracelets broke.
The mall staff naturally demanded compensation from her.
But where would she get that much money?
Moreover, she didn't think she had broken the bracelet, but the salesperson insisted that she had and demanded compensation.
Song Xue stood to one side, hesitant to speak.
But people's hearts are biased. Seeing how exquisitely Ning Xiaoquan was dressed, she figured her family must be wealthy.
Ning Xiaoquan couldn't come up with the money, so the mall staff detained her and told her to call and raise the money, or they would take her to the police station.
Left with no other choice, Ning Xiaoquan had to borrow money from her classmates.
These people had long disliked Ning Xiaoquan, and the moment Ning Xiaoquan made the call, they spread the word.
In an instant, the story of Ning Xiaoquan trying out the Star Moon Bracelet despite having no money spread throughout the entire school.
Because she was quite famous at school.
Therefore, everyone said she was vain, and those who wanted to pursue her but couldn't win her over speculated about her with the utmost malice.
