Chinese woman spends boyfriend’s US$140,000 entrusted for safekeeping on plastic surgery
Girlfriend with ‘appearance anxiety’ places trust in beauty clinic ‘shareholder’, gets lips, lines on neck done to look ‘young and wealthy’
A Chinese man who entrusted more than one million yuan (US$140,000) in savings to his girlfriend for safekeeping was shocked when she spent it all on cosmetic procedures.
The man, surnamed Jin, and his girlfriend, Min, were in a romantic relationship when the cash was handed over.
Min had relocated from southeastern Jiangxi province to Chongqing in southwestern China to live with Jin.
To give her a sense of security, Jin entrusted her with more than one million yuan in business earnings over the several years.
In 2022, Min visited a beauty clinic for a skincare treatment and met a woman called Li, who claimed to be a shareholder at the clinic and later became her closest friend in Chongqing.
