The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 125 Gap
Hermès, the top king in the bag industry.

Over the years, through various marketing strategies, it has won the hearts of wealthy women around the world.

For countless women, Hermès stores are like a pilgrimage site.

Whether you can afford it or not, if you pass by and don't go in to take a look, you'll feel restless, like a cat is scratching at your heart.

At this time, it was already close to 8 p.m.

There was still a long queue outside the Hermès store.

Han Yijia stood in the crowd, with two girls of the same age beside her, her college classmates Zhou Yi and Xiao Lin.

"Jiajia, your boyfriend is so good to you!"

Zhou Yi, the loyal lackey, looked at Han Yijia with envy: "Could it be that he's planning to give you a Hermes bag for your birthday?"

"I do not know."

Today, Han Yijia wore a lace top, paired with a floral skirt, and carried a Chanel chain bag, making her look exceptionally elegant.

Seeing Zhou Yi's envious gaze, she felt quite pleased, but on the surface she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I just told him I was shopping, and he told me to come and take a look at Hermes."

"If he said that, then he must have that idea."

Xiao Lin looked at Han Yijia with a hint of envy: "Jiajia, you're only 23 years old, and you're already carrying a Hermes bag. I don't even have an LV bag yet."

"Take your time, it will come eventually."

Seeing the envious looks from Zhou Yi and Xiao Lin, Han Yijia's mood improved somewhat.

Ever since Gu Heng threw her into the pool last night, she has been in a terrible mood.

Although she also received some benefits from Shen Yan last night, compared to the benefits she could gain from successfully taking Gu Heng, the benefits she received from Shen Yan were simply insignificant.

Besides, she was also very resentful about Jiang Ruan's act of "snatching food from the tiger's mouth" from her.

The thought that she had used all her charm and seduction skills to seduce the man all night, only to have him easily slept with by Jiang Ruan, made her grit her teeth and feel utterly humiliated.

Because of what happened last night, she has been holding in her anger.

This morning, she used an excuse to have a big fight with her boyfriend.

As expected, she didn't even have to wait until evening before the other party called to apologize and even offered to let her visit the Hermès store.

Seeing how "sincere" the other party was, Han Yijia restrained her temper a little and reluctantly "forgave" him.

Hermès is a king among the top luxury brands.

Han Yijia dreams of owning a Hermès bag, but Hermès' quota system always prevents her from doing so.

Let's not even mention the Platinum and Kelly series; those are simply beyond her reach. They're just mass-market items, seemingly priced similarly to the Chanel bag she has, but actually quite different.

Want to buy a bag?

you can!

Please prepare the goods first!

Want a good color?
you can!

Please prepare the goods first!

In this situation, the cost of acquiring a bag in a good color could be several times the bag's intrinsic value.

Han Yijia's personal income alone is simply not enough to support such high consumption.

Fortunately, she has a mobile ATM that loves her, which gives her the confidence to stand here today.

Looking through the glass at the dazzling array of bags in the Hermès store window, and then at the proud saleswomen, Han Yijia's eyes sparkled with longing and anticipation.

"Ta Tata..."

Just as Han Yijia was lost in thought, the sound of hurried footsteps behind her made her turn around instinctively. Zhou Yi and Xiao Lin, who were standing next to her, also turned around at the same time.

With just one glance, Han Yijia froze on the spot.

Because the man surrounded by the crowd walking towards the Hermès store was none other than Gu Heng, the man who had played ball with her recklessly in the pool last night before abandoning her there.

At this moment, Gu Heng, dressed smartly, was chatting and laughing with the person next to him.

One of them was the executive vice president of Ruyi Airlines, who was extremely enthusiastic about playing blindfolded hide-and-seek last night. "Hey hey hey!"

"Jiajia, look!"

"Is that Jiang Ruan?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yi, who was standing next to Han Yijia, gasped.

"It really is Jiang Ruan!"

"That's Jiang Ruan!"

Xiao Lin's eyes widened in shock.

The group approached from afar without pausing for a moment, and was warmly welcomed inside the Hermès store by numerous saleswomen.

Gu Heng and Jiang Ruan, who were in the middle of the crowd, did not look to the side once, and naturally did not notice Han Yijia and the other two.

"Isn't Jiang Ruan a Mercedes-Benz car salesperson?"

"I just saw her walking in the crowd, and she seemed to have a pretty high status!"

"What exactly is her status now?"

Zhou Yi's curiosity is about to explode. She's been queuing for over half an hour and hasn't even gotten inside the Hermès store yet.

The group of people in front of them went straight in, which made the usually aloof saleswomen bow and scrape to them with great enthusiasm.

Clearly, this group of people are either noble or wealthy.

This kind of thing is not unusual, after all, this is Zhonghai, a global economic center, where there are countless powerful and influential people.

The reason they seemed to be making a fuss was simply because they saw Jiang Ruan in the crowd.

Who is Jiang Ruan?

A prominent figure at Yenching University of Aeronautics and Astronautics!
A campus beauty queen who has been crowned the most beautiful girl in the school for four consecutive years!
His good reputation has even spread to the surrounding universities!

Yet, this is precisely the kind of popular figure on campus.

However, after graduation, they did not do as well as ordinary people like them.

Such a disparity gave them a strange sense of superiority and satisfaction, so much so that even a year after graduation, Jiang Ruan was still a topic of conversation among them.

But now it seems that things are not as they imagined.

Judging from what we just saw, Jiang Ruan doesn't seem to be down on her luck at all; on the contrary, she has reached a level that is completely beyond their reach.

Surrounded by admirers, glamorous and beautiful, like a socialite or heiress.

In comparison, they are like Cinderella playing in the mud by the roadside.

"Humph……"

"What kind of identity could she possibly have?"

"She's just relying on her beauty to get someone to keep her!"

When Han Yijia saw Jiang Ruan, it was like enemies meeting again, their eyes blazing with hatred.

Especially when she saw the envious gaze that originally belonged to her quietly shift to Jiang Ruan, it made her feel even more unbalanced.

Zhou Yi and Xiao Lin exchanged a glance after hearing Han Yijia's confident assessment, and both chose to remain silent.

However, Han Yijia's words seemed to have planted a seed in their minds, making them all start to have doubts. After all, the situation that Jiang Ruan showed today was quite different from what they knew.

Being kept as a sugar daddy/sugar baby?

It seems quite possible!
Zhou Yi and Xiao Lin both had a strong inclination towards this possibility.

People, that's it.

When people see others doing better than themselves, they try to close the gap between themselves and others by using various reasons, or even by maliciously speculating about others, in order to gain psychological comfort.

Han Yijia stood by the window, watching Jiang Ruan surrounded by numerous saleswomen. Her mood, which had just begun to improve, instantly plummeted back to its worst state...
