After Ling Cang entered the classroom, Shen Fanlei lay there, neither paying attention to Ling Cang nor talking to anyone else. As soon as the bell rang, she seemed to get a signal, and suddenly raised her head and asked, "What are you doing tonight?" Time?"
Ling Cang replied without hesitation: "I have time!"
The voice was slightly louder, which made the teacher look at her unhappily and emphasized: "You are not allowed to talk during class."
Shen Fanlei didn't seem to hear the teacher's words and told Ling Cang complacently: "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"good!"
"Um...my friend is back..." After a pause, Shen Fanlei said hesitantly: "I want to invite everyone to dinner. Liang Xiangyu and the others are here."
Shen Fanlei's words are a bit intriguing. He said "friend" but not "boyfriend", which seemed to imply something.
"Okay!" As soon as Ling Cang said that, his phone vibrated and it was Lin Xuening who sent a text message: "Do you have time tonight? I'll cook for you."
When Ling Cang saw this message, he was so happy that he almost flew into the sky. He kept thinking in his heart: "I knew that good things would happen if I came to study in a big city, and I would have a girlfriend..."
It feels so good to have a girlfriend. Not only does she always ask for help, but now she also has to cook for herself. Unfortunately, Ling Cang has just arranged to go out in the evening.
Looking at Shen Fanlei's expectant eyes, and then looking at Lin Xuening's warm text message, Ling Cang felt very embarrassed. It was also a date with a beautiful woman, so he couldn't treat it favorably. Ling Cang only regretted that he didn't know how to clone himself. .
After thinking about it, Ling Cang felt that it was first come, first served. Since he had made an appointment with Shen Fanlei, he went to Shen Fanlei's appointment. In addition, Ling Cang was also very interested in Shen Fanlei's boyfriend and wanted to meet her very much.
So Ling Cang called Lin Xuening back: "I have something to do tonight."
"It's okay. I have a rest tomorrow. Come over in the morning. It's just in time for lunch."
"good."
There was nothing to say that day. When school was over, Shen Fanlei left first. Liang Xiangyu drove Ling Cang, Wu Zhihan, Wang Manni and Huang Xianli to a Western restaurant called Southern Sunshine.
Shen Fanlei and her boyfriend were already waiting here. As soon as Ling Cang saw the boyfriend, he sighed that Shen Fanlei had really good taste.
This man's name is Chen Ruoming. He is a sophomore. He is a few years older than Ling Cang and others, but he appears to be very mature. His maturity is not in appearance, but is reflected in his speech and behavior.
Chen Ruoming's face is very handsome, and although his eyes are a little small, they are quite lively. He always wears an elegant smile, and has a lightly modified beard on his upper lip, which enhances his mature feeling. His height is similar to Ling Cang's , wearing business casual pants and a light blue cardigan with a white shirt underneath and a dark blue scarf tied around his neck.
Even compared to someone like Bai Youwen, this Chen Ruoming would not give in too much.
"Hello everyone." Chen Ruoming's voice was calm and pleasant: "I am Chen Ruoming. I often hear Leilei talking about you and know that you are the best friends. Unfortunately, I have been busy with secular affairs and have not had the opportunity to meet you. Today is considered a good day. I have settled a matter on my mind." After shaking hands with everyone, Chen Ruoming said to Shen Fanlei: "No wonder you are always full of praise for your friends. When we meet today, I must admit that all the men are handsome and all the women are handsome. It’s a beautiful woman. It’s not easy to have so many handsome guys and beautiful women together. If someone who doesn’t know sees it, they will definitely think that we are filming a TV series.”
These words made everyone have a good impression of Chen Ruoming. Ling Cang originally tried hard to find fault and break up Shen Fanlei and Chen Ruoming, but now it seems that this idea will come to nothing.
Chen Ruoming's performance is completely that of a child of aristocratic family, which can only be achieved by a well-educated person. To a certain extent, this kind of demeanor is hereditary, which means that his parents must be among the best in order to give birth to a son like Chen Ruoming. .
However, Ling Cang noticed one detail. There was always a distance between Shen Fanlei and Chen Ruoming. Although the two were nominally boyfriend and girlfriend, they never showed any intimacy.
Whether this was because Chen Ruoming was too gentleman or because Shen Fanlei was too steady, Ling Cang couldn't tell for a moment.
"We have always wanted Leilei to introduce you..." Liang Xiangyu raised his chin towards Shen Fanlei and said with a smile, "It's a pity that she is hiding in a golden house and didn't bring you out until today."
"It's not Leilei's fault." Chen Ruoming smiled and shook his head: "I have been abroad for this period of time, and I just came back. I came to see you as soon as possible. At school, I didn't attend any classes this semester. I plan to report again tomorrow.”
"We are honored." Wang Manni added: "But aren't you going to delay your studies?"
Chen Ruoming smiled and said nothing, while Shen Fanlei said: "His grades have always been very good, and his ranking in the entire department is quite good."
"So, not only is she handsome, she is also a genius." Wang Manni made a look like a nymphomaniac, clasping her hands on her face: "Leilei, I envy you so much."
"Don't say that..." Chen Ruoming shook his head slightly: "I believe you can find a better boyfriend than me in the future."
Wang Manni immediately asked: "So you are not good enough? Then how did you catch up with Leilei?"
"It's a fluke, I have better luck." Chen Ruoming looked at Shen Fanlei lovingly, but the latter seemed a little indifferent.
Ling Cang said subconsciously: "I hope I can have your good luck."
Shen Fanlei blushed and lowered her head. Chen Ruoming smiled and said, "I believe you will have it."
Ling Cang didn't know how far Shen Fanlei and Chen Ruoming had developed, and he didn't know how the relationship between the two people was determined. He listened in confusion.
If Chen Ruoming has been abroad since the beginning of school, it means that Shen Fanlei started falling in love when she was in junior high school. This made Ling Cang sigh in her heart: "The city is good..."
"Let's not talk about this..." Chen Ruoming suddenly remembered something and took out several beautifully packaged small boxes and gave them to everyone one by one: "Actually, I don't want to delay the class, and I also want to meet you as soon as possible. But we My family is engaged in the jewelry business and is conducting very important cooperation with South Africa, so I have to go. There are no specialties in South Africa, but there is only one thing that is quite valuable. I will bring it back to everyone, I hope you like it."
"The specialty of South Africa is diamonds..." Ling Cang reminded him gloatingly. He didn't believe that someone would take diamonds as a gift and wanted to see how Chen Ruoming would make a fool of himself. But when he opened the box, Ling Cang almost lost his temper because the gift was really diamond.
The girls got a set of diamond earrings, and the boys got a lighter set with diamonds. If these diamonds were taken down, each one could be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.
Almost everyone said "Wow" involuntarily, and Wang Manni's eyes shone brightly as she kept saying: "Leilei, your boyfriend is so good, so good..."
Ling Cangzheng didn't understand how big the jewelry business of Chen Ruoming's family was. He regarded diamonds as pebbles and just picked one up.
"It can't be fake, right?" Ling Cang remembered that diamonds would glow under ultraviolet light, so he took out a banknote detector and tried it, and found that it was real. Ling Cang carried a banknote detector with him to prevent others from using counterfeit banknotes. Lie to yourself.
"Don't worry..." Shen Fanlei curled her lips and said uncomfortably: "It must be true. If it's false, I'll pay you a bigger one!"
Chen Ruoming was not angry and said with a smile: "Leilei still understands me."
"By the way, we all have it..." Liang Xiangyu shook the guy and reminded with a smile: "Where is Leilei?"
"Of course it is indispensable." Chen Ruoming took out a more exquisite box and held it in front of Shen Fanlei with both hands: "I know that no diamond can be as precious as yours, but I still want to use it to express some of my feelings."
As soon as the box was opened, the eyes of all the girls present were fixed, because this was a diamond ring. The diamond inlaid on it was not only huge, but also an extremely rare pink diamond. Under the reflection of the light, this diamond exuded allure. The person's light purple halo seems to render all the surrounding scenery into an illusion.
"Oh my god, she's so beautiful..." Huang Xianli's eyes straightened, and she said in standard Mandarin, which was extremely rare: "Your boyfriend is so good to you!"
Wang Manni was even more moved: "Is this the legendary pigeon egg?"
Gemstones, especially diamonds, are naturally lethal to women. If you promise a woman a diamond during the day, she will allow you to drill under her at night. As long as the diamond is big enough, you can drill two more places.
The movie "Lust, Caution" has already explained this truth. It is because of diamonds that a progressive young woman becomes a prostitute in the bed of a traitor.
"This diamond has a very beautiful name - Queen Kimberley." Chen Ruoming touched his chin and introduced with a smile: "Kimberley is the largest diamond mine in the world, but no colored diamond has ever been mined. This is the only one. , is also the largest one, so it got such a name. Although it is not as good as the famous Sea of Light in history, among the diamonds I have seen, it is the best in terms of purity, color and hardness. of."
Shen Fanlei said nothing, and just said lightly: "Really?"
"Not long after this diamond was discovered, someone offered a high price to buy it that day..." Taking a deep breath, Chen Ruoming continued: "If I hadn't had a cooperative relationship with Kimberly, I would have used many means. , you can’t get it at all.”
"That's really hard for you, but diamond rings are usually used for marriage proposals, so I can't accept it." Shen Fanlei said, about to return the diamond ring to Chen Ruoming.
"No, no, no." Chen Ruoming hurriedly shook his head and refused: "This is just my intention and has no other meaning. When I propose in the future, I will use more luxurious gems."
"More luxurious?" When Wang Manni heard this, she was so happy for Shen Fanlei that she almost fainted.
"Thank you then." Shen Fanlei didn't show any excitement and threw the diamond ring into her bag as if it were a worthless thing. Occasionally, she glanced at Ling Cang, only to find that Ling Cang had been Staring at Chen Ruoming.
"Pink diamonds are a type of colored diamonds, the most famous of which is the 'Sea of Light' you just mentioned, but there are two types of pink diamonds..." Ling Cang asked expressionlessly: "Which one does this one belong to? type?"
"Type 2." Chen Ruoming replied with a smile: "It seems that you understand very well, so you should know that there are only more than 200 type 2 pink diamonds in the world."
Chen Ruoming's appearance ceremony was really amazing. The Queen of Kimberley given to Shen Fanlei alone was already worth millions. Add in the gifts given to other people, and today's meal was really expensive. , people can’t imagine how rich Chen Ruoming is.
What's rare is that even though Chen Ruoming is rich, he is not ostentatious at all and always remains humble when chatting with Ling Cang and others.
However, Ling Cang thought about it carefully and felt that Chen Ruoming would really make a fortune from tonight's meal.
Leaving aside Ling Cang himself, almost none of the people here have a family background. Even Wang Manni, who keeps drooling over diamonds, is an out-and-out second-generation official, or a second-generation high-ranking official. Especially Liang Xiangyu, the elder As the second-in-command of the General Administration of Customs, as long as Chen Ruoming makes a casual opening, Chen Ruoming can double the millions he earns back.
Ling Cang remembers that when he was in the mountains, many parents of students were worried about the tuition fees of several hundred yuan a year, and even millions were just a number in the eyes of these people. The world is so unfair, many people live hard lives, and many It is too easy for people to make money.
Ling Cang once heard Liang Xiangyu mention that there are clubs for powerful children in Minghai and Beijing. However, these places are very low-key and mysterious. Even if they know their existence, they are not allowed to enter.
On weekdays, it is rare to come across this kind of occasion where the powerful and powerful disciples gather together, but whenever you come across it, you must seize it. Speaking of which, Ling Cang is an anomaly, and somehow he got mixed up with these people.
This means that although Chen Ruoming is rich, he may not be so rich as to be unimaginable. Because this business is so cost-effective, even if he only has a few million in property, he still has to spend such a large amount of money to pretend to be fat.
The meal was very enjoyable, not because of the diamonds, but because of Chen Ruoming's humor and talkativeness. Afterwards, everyone broke up and left. Liang Xiangyu patted Ling Cang on the shoulder and said thoughtfully: "This Chen Ruoming is pretty good..."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"It's harder for you to compete!"
"I compete?" Ling Cang was a little embarrassed: "What did you say?"
"I don't know what you are thinking..." Liang Xiangyu curled his lips and said with a smile: "But I can see from Leilei's eyes that she is a little interested in you."
Ling Cang said shamelessly: "That's her wishful thinking."
"Stop talking about it. If a girl like this falls in love with a man, it will be like a blessing from the sky for that man. I don't believe that anyone can really stay pregnant." After snorting, Liang Xiangyu continued: "Even though Leilei and I are buddies, if she is really interested in me, I will rush up to her immediately!"
