Chapter 424: Just Can’t Stand Others Doing Well
Ling Chenyu’s face changed drastically, and she instinctively covered the slightly cool Heart of the Ocean in front of her, sharply reprimanding, "What nonsense are you spouting? I can sue you for that!"Ling Chenyu cursed inwardly, she really didn’t know if Su Li was crazy, bringing a blue diamond bought from Taobao all the way to the Ling Family!
Suddenly, Ling Chenyu suspected that Su Li was deliberately trying to set her up!
Ling Chenyu glared at Su Li with eyes full of rage, wishing she could eat her alive.
Feng Huaijin’s calm voice rang out, "Put away your dead fish eyes."
Ling Chenyu’s face turned red with anger, wanting to retort but seeing the gentle and refined Feng Ciye opposite her, she struggled to maintain her elegant demeanor and could only force a awkward smile.
No one took the blue diamond Su Li mentioned to heart.
In their eyes, Su Li and Feng Huaijin were in cahoots, naturally not getting along with Ling Chenyu, Feng Ciye’s fiancée. They might just be stirring up trouble, talking nonsense.
Feng Ciye set down his teacup and smiled, "When the engagement was decided, it was said that the Heart of the Ocean necklace would be the token, and the engagement would be set upon seeing the token. Since that’s the case, Miss Ling, why don’t you take it out and let us see?"
Ling Chenyu’s face turned pale and unnatural, clutching the blue diamond inside her clothes tightly without a word.
Mrs. Ling was so frightened she trembled and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Feng is not feeling well today. Why don’t we choose a date first and discuss the engagement later? Besides, tokens are just worldly objects. What’s most important is our family’s Chenyu, isn’t it?"
Ling Chenyu wished she could strangle her mother and could only let out a dry laugh.
Su Li watched with a cold sneer but then heard Feng Ciye say, "Aunt, that’s not how it should be said. That Heart of the Ocean was grandpa’s cherished item when he was alive. If it’s indeed the token, it should be taken out for a look."
The Fifth Miss, a bit envious, couldn’t help but egg on, "Yes, take it out and let us see."
There isn’t a woman who doesn’t like a diamond necklace, even just having a look is nice.
Su Li stood beside Feng Huaijin, her lips curved in interest as she watched the sweat start to drip from Ling Chenyu’s forehead.
She wanted to see what tricks this woman could still pull!
Madam Feng placed her hands on her lap and asked gently, "Miss Ling, is there any inconvenience?"
Ling Chenyu was nearly scared to tears, her body shivering uncontrollably.
Under everyone’s gaze, Ling Chenyu, with a pale face and trembling hands, took out the necklace from her clothes, revealing the blue, glowing, dazzling blue diamond!
A diamond bigger than a quail egg, its deep blue mystic light appeared strikingly beautiful under the lights, causing everyone to hold their breath.
So beautiful!
"So beautiful! I even asked grandpa to let me see it back then, and he wouldn’t agree..." Fifth Miss exclaimed, stamping her foot enviously.
Women love jewelry, especially eye-catching diamonds that attract everyone’s attention.
Ling Chenyu, holding the blue diamond, cautiously looked around at everyone, all of whom displayed expressions of astonishment.
Ling Chenyu suddenly felt relieved, unable to help secretly rejoicing.
The workmanship of this Taobao item was indeed not bad, it actually managed to fool so many people.
Ling Chenyu glanced at Su Li triumphantly, her lips curved. As long as she refused to admit it, she didn’t believe they would trust Su Li over the eldest Miss of the Ling family!
Ling Chenyu elegantly placed her hands on her knees, meaningfully stating, "Some people just can’t stand seeing others doing well..."
Su Li laughed coldly and suddenly raised her voice, "This blue diamond has my English initials on it."
Ling Chenyu: "...?"
What?
