The store attendant led them up the central staircase, to the special exhibition hall on the second floor.
There was a stand-alone glass display in the special exhibition hall. The attendant removed the red silk cloth covering it, and smiled as she introduced the ring inside, “This is one of the rings in our store with a diamond bigger than five carats. It has a special name: ‘Love Forever.’ Please, have a look.”
As soon as she laid eyes on the diamond ring, Xu Xiyan was taken with the ring’s unique five-claw design.
The flawless diamond rested upon a platinum ring, nestled securely within the clutches of five tiny claws. It shone like a brilliant star.
The ring was absolutely gorgeous. No one could resist its dazzling beauty.
Fang Xiaocheng was also gawking at the ring. She pulled Xu Xiyan closer as she asked, “Yanyan, what about this one? Do you think it’s pretty?”
“It’s lovely. It’s beautiful. This has to be the most stunning, most unique ring I’ve ever seen...” Xu Xiyan had plastered herself over the display and was now staring at the ring, transfixed. It was love at first sight.
“Want to try it?” asked Fang Xiaocheng.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
“Ugh, it’s that disgusting couple again. Forget them, we should concentrate on what we’re here for,” said Fang Xiaocheng. She pulled Xu Xiyan back to the display and said to the store attendant, “Can we try this ring?”
“Oh no, let’s not try it.”
Xu Xiyan stealthily gave a warning tug on Fang Xiaocheng’s sleeves. She was afraid that they would somehow damage the ring if they tried it. They would never be able to afford it.
The seven zeros on the price tag were enough to make anyone choke on their spit. 80 million for a ring? Any sane person would think twice before asking to try it!
“It’ll be fine. We’re already here, it’ll be such a waste not to try it on. Come on, it’s not like it’s going to kill anyone,” Fang Xiaocheng said reassuringly. She pointed at the ring and said boldly, “Please take that ring out so my friend here can try it. Thanks.”
Xu Xiyan: “...”
With the way Fang Xiaocheng was behaving, anyone who didn’t know better would think she owned the place!
The store attendant was about to take the ring out of the display when Xu Xinrou’s voice rang out across the store. “Jingtang, that’s the ring I was talking about! ‘Love Forever!’ I want to try it.”
“Okay, sure.” Huo Jingtang led Xu Xinrou to the glass display on the second floor. He pointedly ignored Xu Xiyan as he said to the store attendant, “Get the ring out, and give it to my fiancée so she can try it.”
It was an order, not a request. Huo Jingtang felt he had the right to order the attendants around because the jewelry store belonged to his sister.
