75-Year-Old Chinese Woman Spends Over Rs 4 Crore on Beauty Treatments, Daughter Discovers
A 75-year-old Chinese woman named Yu spent over Rs 4 crore of her retirement savings on beauty and wellness treatments at Yongqi Beauty and Hairdressing Company and an affiliated medical clinic since 2016. Her daughter discovered the extensive spending, including costly procedures like lip tattooing charged at 10 to 20 times market rates. Yu underwent repeated treatments, some unnecessary, and eventually exhausted her savings, forcing her to sell jewelry and struggle with rent. The salon denied misleading her, attributing charges to her requests.
