A million on silicone: how a Chinese woman turned her friend's boyfriend into a sponsor of "perfect lips" (4 photos)

A Chinese man named Jin decided that true love should give a girl a feeling of complete security. So he entrusted his beloved Min with over a million yuan for safekeeping.





Three years later, when Jin asked for at least 200,000 yuan back for urgent repairs, Min began nervously making excuses, and then admitted that all her savings had been spent on plastic surgery, which she had undergone on the advice of her friend Li (who, incidentally, was a shareholder in the Fubiweifu Medical Beauty Clinic). And the guy apparently didn't even notice the girl's prettiness over the past three years; he apparently thought love worked miracles.



It turned out that Li's friend had been deliberately inflating the prices of procedures, turning a liposuction procedure worth 120,000 yuan into a bill for 750,000 yuan, and ultimately making almost 900,000 yuan off the gullible couple.





Ming said: "She told me the prices, but I trusted her so much that I didn't even think to ask her again. Now I realize that all those handbags, the house, the vacation—all of it was probably paid for with my money. It completely destroyed my worldview."

When the truth came out, Jin didn't make a scene or leave, but simply offered to sell Min her Porsche 911 as compensation and gradually repay the remaining debt. Li herself, feeling threatened, had already begun repaying the money and transferred about 560,000 yuan. The clinic also got involved. They're returning it in parts.



An enterprising friend.

The story sparked a real outburst of emotions on Chinese social media: users joked that this wasn't plastic surgery, but "silicone safety," and called Jin a saint for choosing a hug over court.
