Of course Chen Xueqin wouldn't ask. She was indeed arrogant and impulsive, but that didn't mean she was stupid to the point of being mentally retarded.
She can trust Liu Wen's professionalism. Otherwise, how could she invite her out on such a face-to-face occasion?
It is not difficult to see from Liu Wen's attitude that she can conclude that this black necklace is of great significance, and in terms of value alone, it can easily surpass her own diamond necklace made of heavy gold.
Call and ask a senior appraiser?
That's just another slap in the face!
Chen Xueqin is not stupid enough yet.
Just when she was about to say something to end this meaningless comparison to her, the eldest lady of the Han family, who had been silent, finally spoke.
"Sister Wen, can you tell me the legendary story of this string of beads? I'm very curious." Han Xiaoyi had an innocent and cute smile on her face, but there was vicious revenge in her bones.
Why, you are at a disadvantage and you know that continuing will embarrass you, so you want to end this comparison?
Do you think I am a fool? How could I miss such a good opportunity to show off? How could I miss such a good opportunity to slap you in the face?
Han Xiaoyi knew that now that Chen Xueqin had no money to show off, she would be extremely depressed when her luxurious necklace was outshone by the weight-like beads Lin Ze gave her. If she struggled with this issue for one more minute, she would feel even more uncomfortable.
minutes, vomit blood for one more minute.
I don't know whether it was because of her personality that she was unforgiving of others, or because she was nurtured by Lin Ze and developed a habit of showing off and slapping people in the face. She interrupted Chen Xueqin's words in one fell swoop.
Hearing this, Liu Wen smiled and nodded. She said in a soft and slow tone: "When I was negotiating a diamond deal in South Africa, I learned the detailed origins of the Saint Beads from a local jeweler. The most recent piece of news was that the Saint Beads
The beads had disappeared a hundred years ago, and no one knew its whereabouts. In addition, according to an unreliable rumor, this string of saint beads had fallen into the hands of the most powerful country in Europe at the time.
, the British Empire is known as the Empire on which the sun never sets. As for whether this rumor is true, no one knows yet."
"...The disappearance of a hundred years has undoubtedly added a dreamy veil to the mysterious and legendary Saint Bead. Tracing the history of the Saint Bead must start at least five hundred years ago -"
"More than five hundred years ago, in a tribe in South Africa with a matriarchal society like ours, there was a beautiful woman who was good at charity, treating illnesses and saving lives. Perhaps her good deeds impressed the tribe people, and people respectfully called her a goddess. This meant that she was sent by God.
He came down to protect them. After that, as days passed, the woman fell in love with an outstanding warrior of the tribe and got married."
Liu Wen narrated the story that was buried in the dust of history, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with this string of saint beads.
"A beautiful woman was pregnant in ten months. One day before she was due to give birth, she suddenly ran away from home and gave birth to a baby girl by a stream in the wild -" Liu Wen said in a gentle tone. "And the baby girl was in swaddling clothes.
There is a string of dark-colored beads. That is this one——"
Liu Wen pointed at the string of black beads on Lin Ze's hand and said calmly: "What is unexpected is that after giving birth to a daughter, this beautiful woman lost her trace. The only thing left to this tribe is
Just a beautiful baby girl and a string of beads."
"Her husband was heartbroken. While remembering his wife, he raised his daughter to adulthood. As her daughter continued to grow, she became more and more like her mother. She was charitable, cured diseases and saved lives, and became the most respected member of the tribe.
Woman. The string of beads may have been left by her mother, and she has always tied it around her neck."
"——The mother is called a goddess, and the daughter is naturally called a saint by the tribesmen. This string of beads has a name. Saint Beads."
"Later, the daughter also grew up to be a beautiful woman, and she reached the age of getting married and having children. Soon, she married an outstanding warrior in the tribe - surprisingly, like her mother, she also divorced before giving birth.
She ran away from home, gave birth to a daughter by a stream, and left the Saint Virgin beads behind, and she disappeared without a trace."
"In this way, generation after generation, women get married, have children, and disappear after giving birth to a daughter. It seems to have become the custom of this group of women. At first, people were doubtful, shocked, and surprised. In the end, everyone will
Before the wife gave birth to a daughter, she held a grand farewell ceremony. It was like worshiping a god."
"Each generation of saints, like the woman called the goddess, is willing to do good, heal the sick and save people. Wherever they go, everything is in spring, and there is a prosperous scene. Until one day, the last generation of saints lost their saints due to carelessness.
Nv Zhu, for the next three days, locked herself in the room and could not leave the house. When her husband entered the room, the woman had disappeared, but on the white walls of the room, she left a sentence: Only the soul is the best.
Only a pure and pure woman can possess the Holy Girl Bead and receive God's blessing."
After Liu Wen finished telling the origin and story of the Holy Maiden Pearl, her emotions were quite agitated.
The wealthy young ladies were equally yearning for it, and seemed to be moved by the hidden story behind the Saint Maid Pearl.
This is an impure society, a world full of intrigues and turbidity. Whether you are poor or rich, you need spiritual precipitation and soul sublimation.
After listening to the story told by Liu Wen, these men and women who grew up with the golden key in their mouths seemed to have their souls washed away by pure holy water.
Liu Wen said with respect on her face: "It is rumored that the Saint Beads flowed into the British royal family a hundred years ago and fell into the hands of the Queen of England. Whether it is true or not is unknown, but the rumors of the Saint Beads have been circulating in the industry. As the years go by,
, the beads of the Saint are becoming more and more mysterious and precious. That’s why I say that this string of beads is a priceless treasure. It cannot be measured by money at all.”
After listening to this story with an ugly face, Liu Xueqin's eyes couldn't help but fall on the saint bead in Lin Ze's hand. Jealousy danced in her eyes.
There is a classic line in a classic movie that goes like this: Everyone can become vicious, as long as you have tried what jealousy is.
This sentence couldn't be more appropriate to describe Liu Xueqin.
Especially the sentence "Only a woman with a pure and pure soul can possess the Saint Bead and receive God's blessing."
When these words fell into her ears, they were undoubtedly a loud slap in the face.
She, Han Xiaoyi, is a pure and pure woman, so is she a vicious woman with a ferocious face? Chen Xueqin was so angry that her body was trembling slightly.
After Liu Wen finished telling this story, people's curiosity was satisfied and the crowd gradually dispersed. Liu Wen gave Lin Ze a meaningful look before leaving, as if she wanted to go up and ask him how to obtain the Saintess Bead.
But considering that he was Han Xiaoyi's bodyguard, Han Xiaoyi obviously had something to say to him at this moment, so she suppressed the urge.
"Dead beast——" As soon as the crowd dispersed, Han Xiaoyi gritted her teeth and said to Lin Ze who was slowly tasting wine. "Why didn't you tell me the origin of this string of beads earlier?"
"Actually, I don't know very well." Lin Ze smiled and shook his head. "I only know that this string of beads is very valuable."
"It's so expensive, are you willing to give it to me?" Han Xiaoyi felt as if she was coated with honey, and she was extremely happy.
"Did I say I wanted to give it to you?" Lin Ze hurriedly held the beads in his hand and said seriously. "I just saw you wearing this dress and thought this string of beads suited you very well, so I lent it to you.
.Don’t get me wrong.”
Han Xiaoyi was furious, rolled her eyes at him and said: "As if I am very rare. Isn't it worth 100 million euros? When converted into Chinese currency, it is less than 1 billion. This price is unimaginable for ordinary people. Yes.
As far as I, the eldest lady of the Han family, are concerned, it is just a series of numbers."
Even so, his eyes pretended to be casually scanning the string of beads.
"You think so, I feel more relieved." Lin Ze drank the wine in one gulp.
"Damn beast, just now Liu Wen said that this string of beads ended up in the British royal family. How did it end up in your hands?" Han Xiaoyi asked curiously. She felt more and more that Lin Ze was not a simple guy.
"The Queen of England gave it to me." Lin Ze said with a holy face. "She said that this string of beads was originally intended for her daughter, the royal princess. But she doesn't seem to like her arrogant and domineering daughter.
In addition, I have done meritorious service in protecting her illegitimate daughter, so she transferred it to me."
Han Xiaoyi was confused after hearing this, and felt that Lin Ze was most likely bragging again, so she curled her lips and said, "In other words, this string of beads was originally intended to be given to Her Royal Highness, but now it falls into your hands?"
From these words, Lin Ze smelled a sour smell.
"No, officially speaking, this string of saint beads with a beautiful story belongs to me." Lin Ze said in a slutty manner.
Han Xiaoyi curled her lips: "My lady's house is full of jewelry, as if someone is envious of you."
As she spoke, she drank down the glass of wine in one gulp unhappily.
When Lin Ze saw this, the smile on his face grew stronger. He spread out the ugly-looking saint beads in his hand, but no one dared to despise them anymore, and pressed Han Xiaoyi's slender body. Under her stunned look,
He tied the Saint Beads around her white and tender neck, and said gently and gentlemanly: "I am a man, and I have no interest in jewelry, a woman's eternal best friend. The Queen of England originally wanted to give it to Her Royal Highness, but in the end she gave it to me.
And I don't like it at all, so I'd better give it to you as a favor." Lin Ze didn't wait for Han Xiaoyi to respond verbally, and helped her put it on personally, sliding his fingers down the rough beads with a warm look on his face.
Said, "Tonight, you will be the princess."
When the music started playing, Lin Ze elegantly pulled Han Xiaoyi, who looked dull, onto the dance floor, hugged her slender and soft waist, and stared at her with gentle eyes.
Han Xiaoyi was so happy that she almost fainted. Her beautiful big eyes were full of water. She had never been so happy and happy like today in her life. She looked back at Lin Ze's face with affection, which was not outstanding, but the more she looked at it, the more she looked at it.
Yue's face is pleasing to the eye. He bites his soft lips and is speechless.
Tonight, Han Xiaoyi is the princess.
Tonight, Han Xiaoyi is destined to be the most dazzling woman at the dance.
Tonight is destined to be the most beautiful night in Han Xiaoyi's life.
