Chapter 1556: Chapter 1556 - 621: Cui Min’er’s Home
Jiulong Village, one of the largest slums in Korea.
Cui Min’er walked through the uneven sloped alleyway, her LV coat, Hermes handbag, and the exquisite hairstyle she spent six thousand Hong Kong Dollars on the day before leaving Ao Island, all stood out sharply against the low, outdated, and uneven houses on either side.
Occasionally, neighbors passed by, casting uncertain glances at her.
They felt this exceptionally beautiful girl looked somewhat familiar, yet her aura of a wealthy daughter kept them from approaching.
Cui Min’er noticed those glances, but pretended not to see, merely bowing her head slightly as she walked past.
If given the choice, she’d probably wish Zhou Wang had dropped her off right at the slope before her home, but she knew how tight the streets were here, how difficult it was for a car to drive in...
She also feared that when Zhou Wang saw the dilapidated scene at her doorstep, he might show even a hint of disdain he couldn’t suppress.
At this moment, Cui Min’er wanted to quicken her pace to return home swiftly, yet the habits formed since childhood still held her back from wanting to return to that house soon.
Turning another corner, a sudden uproar erupted from the alley ahead, revealing several youths fighting near a few garbage bins... or rather, three of them were attacking another youth.
The youth being beaten wore a somewhat worn-out school uniform, his body filthy from rolling in the garbage, covered in bruises, yet he remained silent, occasionally fighting back fiercely.
This undoubtedly incited the other youths with dyed hair to intensify their venomous assault.
Cui Min’er glanced at them, initially wanting to turn away quickly, until she heard one of the youths cursing, causing her expression to suddenly freeze.
"Cheng Huan, Cheng Huan!"
Cui Min’er threw her expensive bag aside, no longer careful about her coat hem, she rushed in, somehow finding the strength to shove the youths aside, revealing the grimy face beneath that bore a slight resemblance to hers.
The youth, seeing the stylish Cui Min’er before him, hesitated for a moment but quickly glanced away, then fiercely grabbed a nearby beer bottle, intending to attack the three youths again.
The three youths were stunned momentarily by Cui Min’er’s appearance, and as they prepared to retaliate, a few small stones suddenly flew from nearby, hitting their heads, causing cries of pain.
Before they could react, more stones mixed with some soda cans flew over, pushing them back repeatedly; they couldn’t even stand steadily, let alone fight back.
Realizing something was wrong, the youths staggered to their feet, then hurled a few harsh words in Korean at the youth called Cheng Huan, likely threatening "I’ll beat you whenever I see you," before fleeing swiftly.
The youth, face covered in bruises and still bleeding from the nose, wanted to give chase but was firmly held back by Cui Min’er.
Cui Min’er glanced at the corner of the alley she had come from, seemingly seeing a tall figure flash and vanish; she knew it was likely Zhou Wang’s arrangement, feeling relieved, she then turned to the youth before her.
"Cheng Huan, why are you fighting with others... and why aren’t you in school at this hour?"
The youth about fourteen or fifteen years old was Cui Chenghuan, Cui Min’er’s younger brother.
Facing Cui Min’er’s questions, Cui Chenghuan remained silent, merely glanced at the gold chain peeking out from Cui Min’er’s white neck, then lowered his head and broke free from Cui Min’er’s grasp, walking forward.
"Cheng Huan, where are you going? Home is that way..."
Cui Min’er picked up her bag, patting off the dust with some distress, then hurried to catch up, trying to grab the grimy youth.
But Cui Chenghuan ignored Cui Min’er altogether, later when Cui Min’er started to pull him hard, the youth resisted as well, causing Cui Min’er to stumble unexpectedly, though unharmed, the sleeve of her coat was torn, leaving a small rip.
Cui Min’er froze for a moment.
This coat was bought on Ao Island just a few days ago, LV’s latest fall-winter collection, usually requiring VIP qualification to purchase; with Zhou Wang’s rating at LV, naturally there wasn’t such restriction; just with a phone call, the LV flagship store manager directly packed this meant-for-display sample for Cui Min’er...
This coat was made of seasonal limited rare leather, priced at 220,000 RMB, making it Cui Min’er’s most expensive clothing item to date.
Those who’ve used luxury clothing know, its texture isn’t poor, but quality...
Even a few hundred RMB domestic product can easily outlast it.
After all, for luxury brands, they hope you continually desire to purchase, if a garment could last forever, then who would buy their hundreds of new designs each year?
So seeing her new clothing, worn just one day, being torn by Cui Chenghuan, Cui Min’er, both angry and anxious, couldn’t help but raise her hand, lightly slapping her brother’s head.
Though regretting it right after, the atmosphere became stagnant, Cui Chenghuan paused, but didn’t retaliate, only glaring, growled at Cui Min’er:
