Chapter 9 Red Diamond
"h.e.l.lo, madam! This diamond ring is the latest masterpiece by the international designer, GL. It just arrived yesterday. The ring uses the rarest red diamond on it, and has received many international awards. There are only three such red diamonds in the world - one presented by GL to his wife, and the other two sold in Country A and here. This red diamond ring is our TOP-ONE product now. You can check the advertising magazine for more information." The shopping guide girl introduced to Li Qianluo the biggest and most expensive diamond ring with the newest style excitedly.
This diamond ring is different from the other dazzling colored-diamond rings. With the 10 carat red diamond surrounded by a circle of small diamonds, the ring delivers an elegant, n.o.ble, luxurious and low-key nature.
"You"re gonna buy a diamond ring? Actually, you don"t need to..."
"Try it on." Ignoring what she said, Si Jinheng seized her hand and put on the ring. Well matched! Li Qianluo was a little surprised at the right size.
The ring was worn on the fourth finger of her left hand, with the beautiful shine of the diamond softly delivering the grace and elegance of an urban woman, and highlighted her white and delicate hand.
"No need to take it off. Pay by card, please." Si Jinheng took a card out of his wallet, and handed it to the shopping guide without blinking an eye. The shopping guide was so shocked. This man is so cool! He"s just gonna pay for the ring, even before she tells the price.
"Sir, this ring costs 188, 888, 888 Chinese yuan (about 29 million dollars). I will get the POS machine if you are sure to buy it." Trying to restrain her excitement, the shopping guide couldn"t believe that the ring with such a sky-high price would be sold so easily.
"Yes, please." He answered simply, making the guide kinda forget how to behave when she was about to get the POS machine.
"Wait!" Li Qianluo immediately stopped the shopping guide. Is he crazy? A diamond ring costs over 100 million CNY! It is really not necessary for their nominal marriage which may not last long. He doesn"t need to spend so much money on her.
"Let"s go!" Si Jinheng stood up from the single chair directly, and followed the shopping guide to the checkout counter to enter the payment code.
"Si Jinheng..." Li Qianluo didn"t continue when she noticed that Si Jinheng looked at her sharply.
Hm, imperious! Peremptory! Domineering! Bully!
While they went to the elevator leading to the parking s.p.a.ce, Li Qianluo, being a little angry, walked in front of Si Jinheng with her 5-cm-high heels. The heels clip-clopped as they touched the ground on the quiet 8th floor and attracted a lot of attention.
Si Jinheng felt a little funny and delighted when he looked at this childish, angry woman, following her unhurriedly.
There was no one else in the elevator, except them. When they arrived at the second floor underground, Si Jinheng held her hand actively to walk towards the car.
Li Qianluo struggled to shake him off initially. However, the harder she tried, the tighter his grip turned. She gave up finally.
Li Qianluo opened the back door of the car, and sat on the back seat angrily.
"Come to the front seat." He said emotionlessly.
"No!" Li Qianluo leaned on the back seat and closed her eyes, refusing to see him.
"No? I don"t mind having s.e.x in the car." Si Jinheng leisurely turned on the radio to play light music. Li Qianluo opened the front door, and sat on the front pa.s.senger seat grudgingly.
Si Jinheng started the car with a slight smile.
Before they met, Li Qianluo was a princess like the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars, and almost everyone was obedient to her. No one dared to make her angry in the past. Only she could tease and anger others. She didn"t expect that it is her turn now to be angered by her nominal husband over and over again.
Si Jinheng stepped on the gas, and drove out. When they brushed past a white Ferrari sports car, the woman with flaxen wavy hair on the front pa.s.senger seat glanced at the luxury car surprisingly, because she could not believe what she saw.
Fu Xinru confirmed that the woman sitting on the front pa.s.senger seat of the Maybach valued at nearly ten millions was Li Qianluo, who has been disappearing for a few days!
"What were you looking at?" After parking, Qi Zeming looked at his fiancee, whose facial expression changed slightly, with confusion.
"I saw... Li Qianluo." Fu Xinru carefully observed the face of Qi Zeming, who unfastened the seat belt with a frown and spoke nothing.
The last words he wants to hear now are Li Qianluo. Li Xiancheng and his daughter disappeared right after Li Family went bankrupt. He will definitely teach her a good lesson if he meets her someday.
"Zeming, I wonder how Qianluo is doing now." Fu Xinru closed the car door, and pretended that she was worrying about Li Qianluo.
"Why did you mention her? How annoying!" Qi Zeming put his hand on her shoulder, and went to the 8th floor with her together.
Fu Xinru smiled complacently, and thought: Li Qianluo, you finally have nothing at all. See! The man you love the most does not even want to mention you.
They went directly to the GL counter on the 8th floor. The diamonds designed by GL hit the topic recently. There are only two GL counters in D City, one here in the Blue Island Mall and the other in the Cuiwei Plaza.
When they arrived at the counter, several shopping guides were discussing something excitedly around the checkout counter, and exclaimed sometimes.
"More than 100 million yuan! Oh, my goodness! He paid the bill within three minutes! Miss Qin, how lucky you are today!"
"Yeah, he is so handsome! The red diamond is so big! Is that woman his wife? She is pretty. She must be a lady from a rich family, too, as she has come here and bought GL jewelry many times."
"Alas! What a pity! That handsome man has got married."
Fu Xinru listened to them, and slightly cleared her throat to inform them that she has come.
"Welcome, Mr. Qi and Miss Fu." The shopping guides went back to work after noticing these two rich guests.
Fu Xinru has been here with Li Qianluo several times. So all the experienced shopping guides know her name. It is said that she is going to marry a bachelor named Qi Zeming, who the shopping guide guesses is the man next to her.
"I have asked your manager about the latest work of GL. I mean the red diamond. Where is it? Show me." The only problem is that the ring is very expensive. She has spent a lot of time and effort persuading Qi Zeming to buy it. So they come to pay a deposit today.
"Sorry, Miss Fu. The ring has been sold already. I will show you some other rings." The shopping guide was a little depressed. How she wishes GL has designed more rings of that kind.
"Sold already?" Fu Xinru raised her voice excitedly. She loves that diamond ring so much that she promised Qi Zeming that she would also use all her private money in order to make him agree.
"Xinru, it"s OK. Let"s have a look at other rings." Qi Zeming said while looking at other rings. He doesn"t want to buy that expensive ring anyway. He was pleased upon knowing that it was sold.
Fu Xinru would have come to pay the deposit earlier if she had known that the ring would be sold within such a short period of time. She blamed on Qi Zeming, as he disagreed three days ago when Fu Xinru told him that she wanted to buy that ring. It is all his fault.
"Yes. The lady who came to pick up her birthday gift with you last time and her husband bought that ring." The shopping a.s.sistant"s unintentional words made Fu Xinru go blank.
"Li Qianluo?" Fu Xinru raised her voice, as she could not believe what she heard, with her eyes popping out in a kinda scary way.
