"Honey, you are so amazing!" Xie Lanlan jumped up with excitement and kissed Lei Qianzhou hard.
The latter laughed loudly, then glanced at Zhou Yi and said with a smile: "Zhou Yi, you're already here, why don't you buy Luo Ning a gift?" Hearing this, Luo Ning glanced at Zhou Yi and shook her head.
, with Zhou Yi's salary, I'm afraid it would take him five or six years of work to afford this necklace.
"Haha, just him? Don't even think about it." Xie Lanlan smiled disdainfully, then looked at Luo Ning with a superior expression and said:
"Ning'er, since Zhou Yi can't afford it, you can buy it yourself."
As Luo Ning's best friend, she naturally knew that Luo Ning's company had just encountered a crisis recently and she had no money to buy the necklace.
The reason why she said this was to show her sense of superiority. After all, she had never been as outstanding as Luo Ning before. Whether it was appearance, figure, or even family background, she was suppressed by Luo Ning.
But since Luo Ning married Zhou Yi, a loser, and she found a rich second-generation boyfriend, she finally has someone better than Luo Ning.
So she always wanted to show her superiority, and the necklace purchase today was something she had planned for a long time, and the result was just as she thought.
She was completely elated in front of Luo Ning!
There was no expression on Luo Ning's pretty face. She would be lying if she said she was not aggrieved. Her best friend just got a necklace worth more than 100,000 yuan.
But Zhou Yi never gave her a gift, and asked her for pocket money every day. This gap gave Luo Ning a huge sense of disparity.
"Well, actually, I came here today to give you something."
Facing the ridicule from Xie Lanlan and the other two, Zhou Yi looked calm, then took out the box Wan Deshui gave him and handed it to Luo Ning.
"Zhuhong Pavilion? Is this also a thing from Zhuhong Pavilion?" Lei Qianzhou said in surprise as he looked at the words on the box.
"Tch, Zhuhong Pavilion also has cheap things. It should be the kind of silver ring that costs less than a thousand. It's very tacky. It's specially for the elderly."
Xie Lanlan said with disgust, and at the same time secretly wondered in her heart, how could Zhou Yi, a loser, have money to buy gifts?
Zhou Yi completely ignored the two of them, looked at Luo Ning's beautiful face, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, this is my first gift to you in four years. I hope you will like it."
Although he bought a Rolls-Royce Yaoying before, it was Luo Ning's birthday gift and he hasn't given it out yet. This necklace is indeed the first gift in four years, which makes Zhou Yi feel quite guilty.
Which woman can endure her partner not giving him a gift for four years?
Looking at the box, Luo Ning was slightly startled. Before, she thought Zhou Yi was joking about giving small things, but she didn't expect to actually give them?
But Zhou Yi didn't have any money either. It couldn't really be a silver ring worn by an old man. Luo Ning hesitated for a while and then took it.
Even if it's a bargain, it's because of this guy's good intentions.
But after taking the box, Luo Ning was ready to stuff it directly into her bag. After all, it was a cheap item, and it was definitely not as good as Xie Lanlan's necklace. If she opened it directly, Zhou Yi would probably lose even more face.
"No, why don't you open Zhou Yi's kindness?"
At this time, Xie Lanlan smiled softly. Looking at Luo Ning's expression, she knew that the box must not contain anything good.
"Yeah, after all, Zhou Yi doesn't have a job. This must be a gift he bought after saving money for several years. We also want to see it." Lei Qianzhou laughed.
"Maybe it's better than the ring I gave Lan Lan worth more than 100,000 yuan."
"Haha, it's better than mine? I'm just talking nonsense..." Xie Lanlan said disdainfully.
Luo Ning looked hesitant, she didn't want to open it.
At this time, Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Open it, if you don't like it, buy it again."
Luo Ning rolled her eyes at Zhou Yi, angrily thinking that this guy has no brains. He couldn't tell that these two people wanted to see your joke. Why are you just joining in the fun?
However, she took a deep breath and opened the box directly in front of everyone.
"Hahaha, let me tell you, it must be cheap..." Xie Lanlan laughed, but she stopped suddenly before she finished speaking.
I saw a ruby necklace lying quietly in the box. The whole necklace was crystal clear, elegant and moving, and very beautiful. When Luo Ning saw this scene, her eyes widened with disbelief on her pretty face.
No matter how calm she was, she couldn't help but be excited at this moment. It was also a ruby necklace, but this one was several times larger than Xie Lanlan's. The overall quality and workmanship were top-notch visible to the naked eye.
"This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Xie Lanlan looked pale as if she had been splashed with cold water and her heart was blocked.
Lei Qianzhou also shouted: "It must be a fake, it's just street stall goods worth 20 yuan. How can a loser like Zhou Yi afford the real thing?"
"Yes, yes, it's fake." Xie Lanlan seemed to have thought of something, snatched the box from Luo Ning's hand, then handed it to the female shopping guide and said: "Hurry up and identify it, someone here is bringing fake goods and pretending to be you
The signature of Zhuhong Pavilion!”
Seeing Xie Lanlan taking away her things, Luo Ning frowned and felt annoyed, but she still glanced at Zhou Yi. After all, she knew very well whether the latter had money, so she also suspected that Zhou Yi was a fraud.
Although the necklace looked very exciting to her.
When the female shopping guide heard that someone was pretending to be a Zhuhong Pavilion sign, she immediately became concerned and quickly found the appraiser.
The appraiser wore gloves and a magnifying glass and looked at the necklace carefully, especially the dazzling ruby.
"Humph, it must be fake. How can a poor man afford the real thing?" Xie Lanlan kept mumbling.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the appraiser's excited voice: "It's true. The necklace is made of pure platinum. The ruby is top-grade natural pigeon blood red. It weighs 3.6 carats and is worth more than 1.2 million."
"What!" Everyone except Zhou Yi was stunned.
The necklace is real and worth more than 1.2 million?!
Lei Qianzhou's mouth was wide open and his face was dull. Xie Lanlan's face was even more lifeless. The value of her necklace was not even a fraction of others', which ignited a raging flame of jealousy in her heart.
The female shopping guide said with envy: "This beauty, your husband really loves you. He has given you more than a million worth of things."
"How is it? Do you like it?" Zhou Yi looked at Luo Ning and said.
Luo Ning's pretty face was slightly rosy, and she was very excited because she liked this necklace very much, but she was calm on the surface.
Her beautiful eyes were full of doubts as she stared at Zhou Yi, because compared to how valuable the necklace was, she was even more curious about how Zhou Yi got this necklace.
"This is impossible. Are you sure there is really no wrong appraisal?!"
The appraiser said confidently: "Of course it's not wrong, because I have appraised it once before, and it is the same necklace."
Having said this, the appraiser looked at Zhou Yi: "So I'm very surprised, sir, how did you get this necklace?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"Of course I'm just an appraiser, so it's not my place to ask this question." The appraiser said seriously, "I've already informed the store manager, and he'll be here soon."
The originally shocked atmosphere suddenly turned weird after the appraiser's words. Xie Lanlan and the others seemed to have figured out something. They no longer continued to worry about the authenticity of the necklace, but looked at Zhou Yi with smiles on their faces.
.
Luo Ning also looked at Zhou Yi with an ugly face.
Soon, a tall and thin middle-aged man came over. The appraiser whispered a few words in his ear. The tall and thin man frowned, then stared at Zhou Yi with an unkind expression, and asked coldly.
road:
"May I ask which branch of Zhuhong Pavilion you bought your necklace from?"
Zhou Yi thought for a while and said: "This is what I have learned from..."
"No need to say anything." Before Zhou Yi could finish his words, he was interrupted by the tall and thin store manager.
He sneered and said shockingly: "You must have stolen this!"
