Because of Yvonne's striking appearance, I spotted her as soon as I arrived in the living room.
She was married to Qiao Chenfei, that's right. But Qiao Chenfei did not admit nor accept her, so he would definitely not allow her to enter the Lou Family Sect.
"Sigh, a commoner is a commoner!" At this time, Xu Manli's sharp voice, which carried a strong ridicule, entered my ears, "She's not at all like a lady from a noble family who understands logic. After entering the sect for so many years, you haven't even treated us seniors with respect. " As she spoke, her gaze seemed to intentionally look at an opened jewelry box on the tea table in front of her.
I also looked over and instantly understood.
No wonder she and the second branch were holding hands again. Yvonne had given her an emerald necklace as a greeting gift.
Heh ~ Heh ~ Heh ~
In my heart, I laughed coldly at her with incomparable disdain. A beautiful smile hooked up on my face as I turned my head to twist a strand of hair on my shoulder and passed it to her. "mama, here you go."
Xu Manli was startled, and then her mouth twitched. "You, what do you mean?"
Seeing her face turn red from my anger, she must have understood what I meant, but I thought she didn't know as I smiled and explained, "Doesn't mama need hair?" I said, apologetically, "I'm sorry, but I only have one now. After I take a shower tonight, I'll give you more. "Oh, by the way, do you want to roll up a little or straighten it a little?"
"Tu Ying!" Being toyed with so blatantly, Xu Manli slapped the tea table hard and stood up, "You, you …" She was so angry that her words didn't make sense.
Seeing that Xu Manli was barely holding back while eating with me, Xia Peiyun immediately "pulled out her blade and helped", "I say, Manli, you're serious too. It's not like you don't know how poor her family is, why would you expect her to send us gifts? " She raised her chin and looked at me with a face full of mockery and contempt, saying, "Even if she gave it to me, it would have been with money that she plundered from our Lou Family. It's not like us, Yvonne. " She snorted and didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.
To be honest, I was hurt by her words. If she had only mocked me, I would have been invulnerable to weapons. But hearing her talk about my family now, I immediately thought of my father and Little Yu.
I clench my hands together, trying not to cry.
"How shallow are the eyes of mama and Second Aunt? Just this little bit of broken stuff is enough to make you all so happy that you can't stop smiling. " Just then, Lou Shaotang's sarcastic voice came from far away in the living room.
I started slightly, but before I could even turn my head to look at him, he was already at my side. He put his arm around my shoulders and gave me a gentle smile.
I immediately calmed down and smiled at him. Although it was a bit bitter, my heart was sweet.
Lou Shaotang turned his head, his gentle smile had already disappeared without a trace as his cold eyes looked down at the three women who were sitting on the sofa.
Obviously, he did not expect Lou Shaotang to be here. Xu Manli's face was as white as a ghost, and she dared not make a sound. Xia Peiyun was different. Now that she had Qiao Chenfei as her strong backing and Yvonne, the daughter-in-law that she thought was her noble family, she naturally did not place Lou Shaotang in her eyes anymore.
"It's just this crappy little thing. Doesn't she have it?" She picked up her teacup and smirked at him, her tone full of contempt.
Lou Shaotang laughed coldly, "Who said that they did not?" He clapped his hands twice.
I looked at him in confusion, and so did everyone else, not knowing what he meant.
Two young men in black uniforms walked in, one of them holding a black locked box.
They walked in front of Lou Shaotang and respectfully nodded their heads, "Mr. Lou." His tone sounded like he was asking for instructions.
Lou Shaotang nodded slightly.
The person immediately squatted down and placed the box on the tea table. Then, he took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, put them on and opened the box.
When I saw what was inside, my eyes widened in shock. Xia Peiyun and Xu Manli gasped in shock.
This was a set of jewelry, diamond jewelry. Necklace, bracelet, earrings and rings, a total of four pieces.
Each one was studded with sparkling diamonds, and the necklace bore a large star sapphire pendant.
"This, this is the 'Deep Sea Star'?!" Xu Manli cried out in disbelief.
Deep Sea Star?
I frowned slightly. I hadn't heard of it.
I don't have much research on jewelry and usually wear some simple platinum diamonds, so I'm not very good at it.
But Xu Manli was different, she was more interested in jewelry. Seeing that her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, it was obvious that this jewelry set had some sort of background.
"Madame, you really know what's good for you." The young man standing by the side nodded his head at Xu Manli and started to introduce him, "Actually, this set of jewelry is a series called 'Atlantis'. 'Star of the Deep Sea' is only the name of this necklace, and it is also the most famous soul piece of this set of jewelry."
Xu Manli was not happy at all with her praise. On the contrary, her face became even more stiff and pale as she stared at the jewelry with her gaping eyes, and a face full of drool.
At this time, the young man continued, "This work was created by the famous Jewelry Master, Mr. Yavan. It was inspired by the mysterious undersea world of Atlantis."
Although he did not say the price, but from his introduction it was not difficult to deduce that the jewelry set was priceless.
Just then, the young man who introduced the jewelry turned to me and said respectfully: "Lou Taitai, Mr. Lou has already bought this set of 'Atlantis' for you." He stretched out his right hand, gesturing for me to sit on the sofa at the side. "Please sit here. We will wear it for you."
Just now?
I looked towards Lou Shaotang in disbelief because I heard that Xia Peiyun and the rest were looking down on me, so he immediately bought an expensive set of jewelry to avenge me?
Although I didn't say anything, Lou Shaotang saw through all of my thoughts. He nodded at me with a soft smile.
Stabilizing the emotions that stirred up my emotions, I looked at the three women on the sofa. Other than Yvonne who still had an expression of disdain, Xu Manli and Xia Peiyun had both shocked and jealous expressions.
I smirked at them both and sat down on the sofa.
The young man in white gloves began to wear jewelry for me.
First the necklace.
"Lou Taitai, I have already introduced this necklace to you. This is called 'Star of the Deep Sea', the entire necklace is inlaid with gold and diamonds. The part of the pendant is a 30 carat Sri Lanka sapphire." As the necklace was put on, the young man who introduced the work explained it to me, "This pendant can still be removed and be used as a brooch."
With that said, the pendant was carefully taken down by the young man in white gloves and placed in front of my chest.
It turned out to be not a 4-piece set, but a 5-piece set. I thought.
Seeing me looking in the mirror and admiring the earrings I had just put on, the young man introduced me. "These earrings are all inlaid with diamonds. The tassels are designed to look like sparkling water."
Next, a bracelet appeared on his wrist. I saw that it was also inlaid with sapphire and diamond. The color of the sapphire was also different. The design was in the shape of a wave.
At this moment, the young man's voice rang in his ear again, "The inspiration for the bracelet's design came from the wave after wave."
"Lou Taitai, please give me your hand." "White gloves." I held out my left hand.
The ring slowly slipped into my ring finger.
"What kind of breed is this?" I asked the young man, pointing to the green and blue stone inlaid in the middle of the diamond and sapphire.
"Tsk, I don't even know the jade seal." Xu Manli's scornful words came before the young man.
Hearing her sour tone, I curled my lips and ignored her. Right now, she could only rely on this vulgar mouth to vent the displeasure in her heart.
The young man didn't even look at her. He smiled at me humbly and said, "This is a Jade Seal, but it's different from ordinary ones. It's called Paraiba, the king of the Jade Seals. Its output is extremely low."
He still did not say anything about how expensive and expensive it was, but this sentence, as a King, made it very clear how valuable it was.
The jewelry was all worn out. Today, I only put on Sue's light makeup, but at this moment, because of this set of jewelry, my whole person has become bright and beautiful.
With their limelight stolen, Xu Manli and Xia Peiyun's faces were green with anger, and when they looked at me, their eyes were about to spew fire.
I smiled and intentionally asked Xu Manli: "mama, what do you think about this set of jewelry?"
Xu Manli was extremely jealous, yet she still insisted on showing her face. She sneered in disdain, as if she was looking down on Xu Manli.
And I said, "If you like."
Her eyes were bright. She sat up straight and stared at me, waiting for me to finish.
She seemed to be looking forward to it, and I laughed to myself. Did she think I was going to say I'd lend it to her if she liked it?
Dream on!
I carelessly stroked the pendant on my necklace and said regretfully, "If you like, there's nothing you can do about it. That's the way of the world."
Xu Manli's face stiffened. She knew that she had been tricked by me, and gnashed her teeth in anger, but it wasn't good, so she forced the grievances back into her stomach.
Breathing out, I refreshed myself and pulled Lou Shaotang along to the second floor.
After returning to my room, I immediately put away my previous smug look.
"Lou Shaotang, you're crazy! Isn't it just a way to vent? Is there really a need to buy such an expensive thing?! " My tone was reproachful, but my heart was warm.
"Is it expensive?" Lou Shaotang did not think so. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Only 5 million."
"5 million!" I exclaimed.
Such an expensive breath!
He felt like his neck and wrist were on fire.
Seeing that I was about to remove the necklace, Lou Shaotang immediately grabbed my hand and smiled warmly: "Don't.
"It does look good." The money looks good too! " I ignored him and took it off anyway.
Lou Shaotang sneered, "Look at you."
"I am useless." I laughed.
Actually, it's not that I'm petty, it's that I'm not intimidated by this expensive price. It's not that I've never seen so much money, but it's different now.
I used to squander his money at random, and I didn't feel sorry for him, and I felt especially relieved, but now I spend every ounce of it thinking about him, thinking about him, thinking about him.
Perhaps this was the difference between love and not love.
I placed all the jewelry back into the jewelry box, Lou Shaotang wrapped her arms around my waist and placed her face close to mine, "Tu Ying." He looked at me in the mirror and his voice flowed into my ears like a mountain stream. "In my eyes, even the most expensive things in the world are not as precious as you, understand?"
My body trembled slightly as I stared into his starry eyes. Every day his words of love became more and more unsightly, and every day more and more moved me.
Suppressing the emotions in my heart, I gently held his hand that was wrapped around my waist and lightly smiled. "Lou Shaotang, I don't care if you have money or not, as long as your one pellet is really enough."
Although Lou Shaotang and I were related by money, I did not fall in love with him because he was rich.
"Did you see my sincerity?" he asked, his eyes tightening.
Of course I saw it! Just to help me vent my anger, I spent 5 million without batting an eye.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this was nothing, it was too common for rich people to spend money to curry favor with women.
But Lou Shaotang is different, he would never spend so much money just to please someone, if it wasn't for him putting me at the top of his heart, he definitely wouldn't do such a thing.
Seeing me staring at the mirror in a daze, Lou Shaotang lightly pinched my waist. "Did you not see that?" His face darkened.
I raised the corner of my mouth and turned my head. "What do you think?" She kissed his lips.
I don't think he expected me to suddenly kiss him, so Lou Shaotang's body froze for a moment, before quickly reacting to my kiss.
After a long and passionate kiss, Lou Shaotang went to the study room to work. There was still some time before dinner, so I had nothing better to do.
As they neared the flower bed, they were surprised to see Yvonne standing in front of the flowers. She stared at the cluster of peach blossoms in front of her. Her eyes were gloomy, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.
I slightly knit my brows and slowly walked towards her …
