Chapter 321 - It’s Real

Chapter 321: It’s Real

He Lu had been watching Xia Ze and saw his actions earlier. When she heard Shen Feng’s words, she sneered and said, “Shen Feng, you’d better mind your girlfriend!”

‘That damned b*tch tried to seduce Ze because of her good looks?’ He Lu knew that the little b*tch’s series of actions were just to attract Ze’s attention and interest.

The class also thought Shen Feng struck the jackpot and would drive a luxury car, but in the end, Shen Feng only drove a Hyundai worth around 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. After exchanging a glance, they just shook their heads and laughed.

‘Why make the situation so stiff when we’re all classmates? Being too arrogant is Shen Feng’s downfall. Just look at his old car! How could he afford tens of millions of jewelry? He should just wake up from whatever dream he was in…’

The jewelry store was at a mall not far from the restaurant. It took around ten minutes to get there.

He Lu was like a princess surrounded by her classmates when she walked into the jewelry store.

The store manager greeted her warmly. “Ms. He, you’re here! The necklace Mr. Xia ordered for you has arrived. Come take a look!”

The store attendant immediately brought out an exquisite box and opened it for her to take a look.

Ms. He was their boss’ niece and the future daughter-in-law of the Xia family.

The Xia family was influential. Xia Ze’s grandfather was the province mayor. His father was also a powerful official in the city. In a few years, he would certainly be promoted to the provincial level. Xia Ze’s mother was also known as a strong, independent woman. She was an entrepreneur and a billionaire.

“OMG, this is a sapphire, right? It’s so beautiful!” The girls gathered around and looked at the necklace enviously. They then looked down on Shen Xi.

‘Lulu’s the real wealthy one here. That b*tch is wearing a fake and insists on coming over to embarrass herself by checking the authenticity of her pendant. She really is a bimbo.’

“We’ll look at this later,” He Lu was very familiar with this place and politely asked the store manager, “Is Uncle Wang here? My classmate has a piece of jewelry that needs his appraisal.”

Uncle Wang was the most well-known jewelry appraiser in the city that worked for her uncle. He had been in this business for decades and had never made a mistake. He could surely tell at a glance whether the pendant was real or fake.

Shen Feng looked at Shen Xi. ‘This girl is so calm wearing a necklace worth 58 million yuan… where did it come from? Who gave it to her? Is it that man who gave her the red packet that night?’

The more he thought about it, the more likely he thought it was that man. He lowered his voice and asked in a whisper, “Did your crush give this to you?”

Shen Xi shook her head. ‘The things he gave me were either invaluable or exorbitant. If I wear it, it’ll probably scare the lot of you!’

Uncle Wang was at home but when he heard someone needed his expertise, he came over immediately since he lived nearby. When he saw the necklace around Shen Xi’s neck, he was so emotional that he burst into tears. “Is that the ‘Dreamy Teardrop’?!”

Shen Xi nodded, took off the necklace, and handed it to the old man. She said politely, “Please help me to identify if this is real or not.”

Uncle Wang’s words shocked everyone present, especially Xia Ze and He Lu, who could not believe their ears. ‘That’s impossible! How could it be real?!’

He Lu whispered to Xia Ze to comfort him and herself. “Uncle Wang only saw a glimpse of it. Let’s wait for the final appraisal.”

Xia Ze still looked high and mighty. ‘How could someone tell if a piece of jewelry was real or fake at a glance? Shen Feng can’t possibly afford to buy this!’

Uncle Wang carefully took the jewelry with eyes full of amazement. He nodded with certainty. “This is the real ‘Dreamy Teardrop’. It’s real! I saw this for the second time. Its current value is definitely worth more than before…”

Ten years ago, Uncle Wang had gone to the “Dream Teardrop” auction. It was finally sold at 58 million yuan to a beautiful girl. After that, it never appeared again, so he did not expect that he would have the opportunity to see it again.

“Uncle Wang, take a closer look,” He Lu was anxious and refused to believe it.

‘It must be a fake! Is Uncle Wang getting senile that he treats a fake as a treasure? How could Shen Feng afford such an expensive piece of jewelry?!’

“I’ve looked at it and I’m certain that it’s real.” Uncle Wang looked at He Lu and asked, “Ms. He, are you doubting my appraisal? Do you think I’ve gotten old and senile that I can’t tell the real deal from a fake?”

Uncle Wang had been in this business for decades and had never misidentified a single piece of gem. He knew of all the rare jewels in the world like the back of his hand, so he was confident enough to say that he could tell an original from a fake with a single glance. He would never make a mistake.

“Of course not,” He Lu was still not convinced. Jealousy took root in her heart, but she did not show it. “Of course I believe you, Uncle Wang. It’s just that this jewelry is too valuable and I want you to identify it properly.”

“There’s no need. This is the original.” Uncle Wang was angry because he was questioned about his professionalism. “Ms. He, if you don’t believe me, go and get a second opinion!”

“No, how could I not believe you?” He Lu was not so stupid to offend him. After all, he was a master appraiser who had a reputation and a temper. If Uncle Wang were to quit his job because of her, her uncle would never forgive her.

Xia Ze tried to stay calm. When he saw Shen Feng and his girlfriend whispering to each other, he was infuriated and felt that he had been played.

Yes, Shen Feng and his girlfriend definitely played him. This feeling became stronger, so much so that it took all his willpower to control his emotions. He must restrain himself.

Xia Ze must be a man of his word. After all, he was a member of the Xia family, so he had a reputation to uphold. He could be a laughing stock. After he summoned his courage, he said in a generous tone, “Shen Feng, since it’s real, I lost the bet.”

The whole group stared at him with wide eyes that were about to pop out of their sockets. They also looked at Shen Feng in a different light. They no longer mocked him and even looked at him with admiration.

Wow! After two years of not seeing Shen Feng, he became so rich. They really should not judge a book by its cover.

When the girls looked at Shen Feng, they secretly regretted it. If they knew Shen Feng was so capable and rich that he could afford a necklace worth tens of millions of yuan, they would have pursued him when they were in high school.

If they were his girlfriend now, they would be wearing that priceless “Dreamy Teardrop”. They would even be laughing in their dreams.

“Cool!” Shen Feng stretched out his hand. “Give me the car keys!”

Xia Ze made up his mind. He wanted to kill Shen Feng, but he still had to maintain his poise. He pretended to be generous and handed him the car keys. “Since you’re so rich, what business do you do?”
