Bai Xuening was so surprised that her voice changed: "She is the boss of queen-jewelry?"
Turning to look at Lu Yanting, he was very calm, as if he had known about this for a long time.
At this moment, Lu Yanting looked at Jiang Chaoxi with unclear meaning, which set off alarm bells in Bai Xuening's heart.
A sense of crisis arises spontaneously.
The waiter asked Bai Xuening: "Miss Bai, do you need me to call the police now?"
"No, no need to call the police, you can go out!" Bai Xuening held the Kashmir sapphire necklace she was proud of like a hot potato.
You have to hold on even if you feel uncomfortable.
The waiter wisely exited the lounge.
Mr. Zhong frowned, looked at the necklace in Bai Xuening's hand, then looked at Jiang Chaoxi, and asked in a deep voice: "Where did you find the necklace?"
Jiang Chaoxi answered calmly: "In..."
Bai Xuening quickly interrupted her: "It doesn't matter where you find it, just find it. Thanks to Mr. Zhong, the necklace was lost and recovered."
Seeing Jiang Chaoxi's unhappy face, Mr. Zhong asked, "You don't think it was Xiao Xi who took it, do you?"
"No, no, we didn't think it was Miss Jiang who took it." Bai Xuening laughed along with her: "It's all my fault, I have a bad memory. I took off such a valuable thing and put it everywhere."
Mr. Zhong snorted coldly: "As long as you don't misunderstand our Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi doesn't like this necklace. Three years ago, Xiao Xi could sell tens of millions per painting. If she hadn't wanted to repay Shi Zien and fade out,
The leading figure in the painting world now must be our Xiaoxi."
Jiang Chaoxi smiled calmly: "It's okay not to mention the past. Master, I wish you a happy birthday and a long life. This is my gift to you."
Jiang Chaoxi took out the shock-proof box from the inconspicuous handbag, opened the lid of the shock-proof box, and an official inkstone appeared in front of Mr. Zhong.
Mr. Zhong's eyes lit up: "Is this an official inkstone from the Song Dynasty?"
"Yes!" Jiang Chaoxi introduced: "There is a word Zhao on the bottom of this official inkstone. It was once collected by Li Qingzhao's husband Zhao Mingcheng. It is recorded in the "Inscriptions on Stones" written by him that in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Mingcheng died of illness, and Li Qingzhao took it with him
Zhao Mingcheng's collection lived in seclusion in Qingzhou. This official inkstone was stolen in Qingzhou and has since been lost among the people."
Jiang Chaoxi explained the origin of Guan Yan so eloquently that even Lu Yanting was stunned.
When she was explaining, her whole body was glowing, and her face was filled with confidence and calmness. This was Jiang Chao Xi that Lu Yanting didn't recognize.
Standing in front of him was no longer the submissive and humble Jiang Chao.
She is confident, elegant and knowledgeable. She is the queen of jewelry and a rising star in the painting world.
Even after three years of getting along day and night, Lu Yanting had to get to know her again.
Looking at her is like looking at a beautiful picture, graceful and thought-provoking.
Boss Zhong was overjoyed. He held the official inkstone and couldn't put it down. The folds on his face turned into a flower with a smile.
After admiring enough, he said: "Xiao Xi, many old people are here for you tonight and want to see you. I will take you to see them. Let's go!"
Bai Xuening watched with dumbfounded eyes as Jiang Chaoxi was taken away by Mr. Zhong.
The person she thought she could step on at will turned out to be someone even the leading figures in the painting world doted on.
Bai Xuening suddenly remembered that there was something wrong in Mr. Zhong's words just now.
Turning to look at Lu Yanting: "Yanting, Mr. Zhong said that Miss Jiang faded out of the painting world three years ago in order to repay her kindness. Are you Miss Jiang's benefactor?"
"I have no idea."
Lu Yanting has never asked about these matters.
All he knew was that his mother was looking for a nanny for him, and Jiang Chaoxi came to his house to apply for the job. Because Jiang Chaoxi's voice was almost exactly the same as Bai Xuening's, he asked Jiang Chaoxi to stay.
Later, in order to make Bai Xue Ning give up her heart, she married Jiang Chao Xi.
He always thought that Jiang Chaoxi married him, who was blind, just for money.
Now it seems that she is not short of money.
The official inkstone that Jiang Chaoxi gave to Mr. Zhong just now is more valuable than the Kashmir sapphire necklace in Bai Xuening's hand.
Bai Xuening couldn't stand up anymore, and said to Lu Yanting delicately: "Yanting, I'm a little uncomfortable, let's go back!"
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
Lu Yanting didn't waste any time and walked straight out.
Sitting in Lu Yanting's car, Bai Xuening felt uneasy and didn't know what Lu Yanting was thinking.
Does he believe in himself or Jiang Chaoxi?
Bai Xuening was restless along the way. When she arrived at the door of her house, she forgot to get out of the car.
Seeing that she was distracted, Lu Yanting could only remind her.
"Xue Ning, here we are."
"Ah...oh..." Bai Xuening came back to her senses and forced out a sweet smile: "Yanting, come in and sit down. I'll make you the coffee you like."
"No, if you don't feel well, go to bed early. Goodbye!"
Lu Yanting didn't even get out of the car, and drove away before Bai Xuening entered the villa.
Bai Xue stared at his car with an empty heart.
From the day she returned home, she felt his alienation.
On the day she returned to China, she called him specifically and wanted him to pick her up at the airport.
As a result, she waited for a whole day but did not wait for him.
On the day of the concert, if she hadn't been beaten, he probably wouldn't have showed up.
Bai Xuening touched her injured right hand, feeling increasingly uneasy.
…
Jiang Chaoxi was afraid, but in order to make Mr. Zhong happy, he could only bite the bullet and follow him to get to know those big names in the literary and art circles.
When he saw someone, Mr. Zhong introduced him proudly: "This is my favorite disciple Jiang Chao Xi, who is definitely better than your apprentice."
It's Mr. Zhong's birthday today, and the guests are all coaxing him. He does whatever he says, and also compliments Jiang Chaoxi.
"The protégé of Lao Zhong must be extraordinary. Miss Jiang is no ordinary person at first glance. She is beautiful and refined, smart and elegant."
Many people also asked Jiang Chaoxi if he had a boyfriend, and wanted to introduce their apprentices, sons, or nephews to Jiang Chaoxi.
Jiang Chaoxi secretly sweated for himself.
She is here for a birthday party, not a blind date party!
Really terrible!
Jiang Chaoxi had a fake smile on his face the whole time and followed Mr. Zhong like a zombie.
She didn't realize that not far away, there was a pair of deep eyes staring at her closely.
Those eyes belonged to Lu Yanting who had gone and returned.
He watched Jiang Chaoxi being surrounded by a group of men asking for WeChat.
There are old and young, handsome and ugly.
Those men all had one thing in common. They looked at Jiang Chaoxi lustfully, and none of them had any good intentions.
Lu Yanting was about to rush forward and drive those men away when suddenly a light voice came: "You and her are about to divorce, and you have no control over her affairs!"
Lu Yanting turned around and saw a man with a clear breeze and bright moonlight.
Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he is tall and thin, has a handsome appearance, and has a strong bookish air all over his body.
He gave Lu Yanting a mysterious smile and walked towards Jiang Chaoxi.
Jiang Chaoxi was very happy to see him: "Senior brother, is it really you? Are you also coming back to congratulate Master on his birthday?"
Song Tingyue smiled indifferently, approached Jiang Chaoxi, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'm coming back to congratulate the master on his birthday, and by the way, I'll see when you're going to get divorced!"
