Chapter 36 — Jewelry

The box slowly opened, a rag doll appeared in front of Wen Sisi.

No matter how you looked at its appearance, hairstyle, or clothing, this doll looked very much like Wen Sisi, the workmanship wasn't very refined, but you could see a lot of thought was put into it, the rag doll wasn't too big, with a smile on its face, it looked very cute.

Wen Sisi was taken aback.

"Pfft–" Some people couldn't help but laugh.

The corners of An Qinru's mouth also rose slightly.

It was just a rag doll.

"Haha, Chi Zhengzheng, you have indeed run away from home, and your family cut you off from their financial resources, right?"

"Your gift is so cheap, did you buy it from an accessory store?"

"Hahaha, but it's pretty cute, it looks a bit like Sisi, it wasn't easy to find, right?"

"Nowadays you can buy anything online, it's easy to find online."

"Chi Zhengzheng, if you're hard-pressed for money, you can call us."

…

Everyone's voices sounded like they were joking, but in fact, they were all mocking Chi Zhengzheng for being too poor.

-This group of people, most of them had been at odds with Chi Zhengzheng.

An Qinru's voice was very gentle: "Sister Zingzheng, it's okay, it's not the gift that counts, but the thought behind it, we all understand what kind of situation you're in."

Standing together with a group of boys, Chi Zhouchen, who was blocked because he wasn't fully developed yet, pursed his lips tightly.

He walked forward with a sullen face, and glanced coldly at An Qinru and the people around her who were laughing at Chi Zhengzheng, before turning his head to Chi Zhengzheng: "Sis, come back home, Mom and Dad are looking forward to your return, they waiting for you to come back home, you are the eldest daughter from the Chi family, you could have anything you want."

-He was giving his support to Chi Zhengzheng.

He even called her "sister" in public.

Chi Zhengzheng was slightly surprised, then shook his head, and said softly: "I told you before, I won't go back, I'm really doing well now."

Chi Zhouchen wanted to say something else. Next to him, Wen Sisi, who had been silent, looked at the roughly threaded doll and looked at her: "Chi Zhengzheng, did you make this yourself?"

"Of course, like it or not?" Chi Zhengzheng revealed a smile.

She spent a day yesterday at a craft store making this!

When Wen Yu came to pick her up, she was still a little unhappy!

She only smiled and asked Wen Sisi if she liked it. She didn't care that others were laughing at her cheap gift, nor did she care that others were laughing at her for being "poor".

She didn't know why, but a strange feeling surged in Wen Sisi's heart again.

Just like that time, when she helped her, sweating on her forehead, and when she insisted on sending her to the hospital…

"I like it, I like it very box." Wen Sisi clutched the box with the rag doll, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

The corners of her mouth only moved slightly, she smiled far less brightly than when Wen Yiran and An Qinru gave her the watch, but only she knew – the indescribable fluctuations in her heart at that moment.

"Haha, I knew you'd like it." Chi Zhengzheng smiled, her smile was so bright.

Everyone else looked at the box, slightly stunned.

One of the younger boys in the group who looked like Chi Zhouchen's friend walked over and put one hand on Chi Zhouchen's shoulder, while looking at the rag doll impatiently: "Wow, Sister Zhengzheng, you know how to do this? On my birthday, would you like to make one for me too? "

Chi Zhengzheng didn't say anything, Wen Sisi glared at him: "This is mine! Chi Zhengzheng will give you another gift when the time comes!"

The kid touched his nose and gave a "tch" sound, not taking it seriously.

Chi Zhengzheng just smiled, her eyes were like stars.

The atmosphere became friendly again.

She didn't mind that the gift wasn't expensive, and Wen Sisi liked the gift she gave her, so those who were making fun of her couldn't laugh anymore.

Wen Yiran didn't know why he walked forward and stood in front of Chi Zhengzheng, and then looked at her seriously.

Behind him, An Qinru's face immediately sank.

"You…" Wen Yiran opened his mouth.

"What do you want?" Chi Zhengzheng frowned, she didn't like Wen Yiran very much.

Wen Sisi had a poisonous mouth, and she was poisonous to anyone, but Wen Yiran really hurt Wen Yu.

She already hated him, and now she hated him even more.

Wen Yiran didn't know why he stepped forward, let alone why he said in a weird manner: "Chi Zhengzheng, the house where you and Wen Yu live is Zheng Ye's…"

Therefore, Wen Yu wasn't actually capable.

After saying that, distress somewhat flashed in Wen Yiran's eyes. He didn't expect that he would come out and say such a thing!

Chi Zhengzheng frowned even more tightly.

She didn't know who owned the house in Wangjiang Manor. When she had the novel in her head, she didn't pay much attention to where Wen Yu lived.

But she knew Zheng Ye, when Wen Yu cleaned up both the Chi family and the Wen family, one of his subordinates, was Zheng Ye who helped him out throughout the whole process, he then scoffed at both the Chi family and the Wen family from all angles, thinking that they got what they deserved.

What was the reason Wen Yiran looked for her to say such things? Did he want to stir up trouble and hurt Wen Yu again?

She raised her chin and stared at him: "It's none of your business, stop having ideas about Wen Yu!"

Wen Yiran didn't expect this answer, his hand clenched into a fist for a moment, and looked at her profoundly.

Chi Zhengzheng didn't want to pay attention to him, so she took Wen Sisi a few steps to the side and asked her: "Where can I have something to eat, a small cake or something, it's best to get some food down, I'm hungry."

Wen Sisi: "…" The corners of her mouth twitched.

Xu Jiahong approached An Qinru and lowered her voice: "Qinru, what's going on with Yiran?"

An Qinru didn't say anything, she only stared at Chi Zhengzheng with dangerous eyes.

This bitch!

"She looks so beautiful today and she came to Sisi's birthday party. Isn't it to seduce Yiran?" Xu Jiahong said again, her voice was somewhat sour.

Next to her, another little sister's voice taunted. "Wen Yiran has broken off his engagement with her, and she still has the nerve to come."

There were too many girls in their circle who liked Wen Yiran, but An Qinru was the one that Wen Yiran liked. At first, they made things difficult for Chi Zhengzheng, but for some reason, they were on good terms with An Qinru.

"Sisi too, how come she suddenly has a better relationship with her? Weren't the two of them incompatible like water and fire before? Sisi scolded Chi Zhengzheng every day, but now they could still make up…" Xu Jiahong's mouth twitched.

An Qinru's eyes were indistinguishably obscure. After a while, she said in a hoarse voice: "Chi Zhengzheng is really beautiful today… She has run away from home, and she can still afford such beautiful clothes and such beautiful jewelry. Look at the necklace around her neck, you can tell it's worth a lot of money at first glance…"

Several little sisters looked over.

"Huh?" Xu Jiahong was startled.

"What's wrong?" An Qinru looked at her in a hurry.

Xu Jiahong raised the corner of her mouth and her face was full of mockery: "Hahaha, this Chi Zhengzheng was really met with a tragic death, I can't believe she's wearing a knockoff! I know the necklace around her neck, and it looks quite realistic!"

The corners of An Qinru's mouth raised slightly. Sure enough, although neither the Ding family nor the An family were rich enough, she had wanted to move to a higher status since she was a child, so she studied precious stones, jewelry, fashion, etc.

The necklace on Chi Zhengzheng's neck wasn't simple at first glance. The authentic product wasn't cheap, how could she still have the money to wear such expensive jewelry?

-It was also not something that Chi Zhengzheng used to own.

"Let's go, let's watch the show!" Xu Jiahong took An Qinru by the hand, with a smile at the corner of her mouth, and walked quickly towards Chi Zhengzheng.

Chi Zhengzheng was eating pastries. Today was Wen Sisi's birthday. There are many kinds of cakes. Afterward, a huge cake will be cut. That was the highlight of the birthday party.

Wen Sisi was sitting next to her.

She didn't know why, but tonight was her home ground, she should be able to walk around, she should be able to wander among the guests, but in fact, she didn't want to go anywhere, she just wanted to sit next to Chi Zhengzheng.

Even if she was sitting here and surrounded by many people who were talking to her, even if Chi Zhengzheng was just eating her cake and didn't talk, she wanted to stay next to Chi Zhengzheng.

"Haha, I think so too. "Wen Sisi smiled at the people who came to congratulate her.

Chi Zhengzheng felt that she was almost done eating and picked up her water glass to drink two more sips of water.

At this moment, Xu Jiahong held An Qinru and walked over with several people behind her. Looking at the smiles on their faces, they knew that those who came were up to no good.

Wen Sisi interrupted the conversation, frowned slightly, and looked at them.

"Chi Zhengzheng, the necklace on your neck is really beautiful." One of the women who were of similar age said.

Chi Zhengzheng nodded perfunctorily.

So annoying.

"Pfft–" Xu Jiahong snorted lightly.

"What's the matter?" An Qinru asked, her voice tinged with confusion.

"Jiahong, what are you laughing at? Weiwei just complimented Chi Zhengzheng for her beautiful necklace. Why are you laughing?"

"Yeah, I also think Chi Zhengzheng's necklace looks beautiful, you can tell it isn't cheap at first glance."

"Hahahaha, Chi Zhengzheng, where did you buy your necklace?"

"Yes, let us know, we want to buy one too."

…

Everyone was talking at the same time and it became lively all of a sudden.

There were too many people gathered here, and the group of men also came over. Wen Yiran was still sullen and was also pulled over.

Chi Zhouchen came over as soon as they surrounded Chi Zhengzheng.

"Pfft." Chi Zhengchen didn't hold back and laughed out loud.

The people who were surrounding them were taken aback, they didn't expect her to not feel guilty and laugh out loud!

Wen Sisi was also taken aback.

Chi Zhengzheng tilted his head and said to Wen Sisi, "Don't you think they look like standup comedians? The main jokester and the assistant jokester, singing to each other's tune. "

"Pfft!" Wen Sisi almost shook the wine glass out of her hand.

"You!" Xu Jiahong was furious.

An Qinru tugged her, and her cold fingers touched Xu Jiahong's arm, immediately making her come back to her senses.

There was no need to fight with Chi Zhengzheng, she will be embarrassed later!

After calming down, Xu Jiahong laughed: "Aiya, Chi Zhengzheng's jewelry is very expensive, and there is only one in the world, you couldn't buy it even if you wanted to!"

"Ah? It's not simple!" Someone immediately exclaimed.

Xu Jiahong stepped forward, her eyes fixed on the necklace around Chi Zhengzheng's neck, and her voice was clear enough for everyone to hear…

"Of course, it's not easy. This is the most expensive collection of my aunt's jewelry company. It's called "Dream of Deep Sea"! It's made of the most expensive sapphires in the world, each of which is the finest, each of which is the same size. It was so hard to create such a necklace! If the price wasn't enough, they would never sell it! It was exhibited at the World Jewelry Show last year. According to the market at the time, it was valued at 230 million! "

"Boom…"

As if a bomb was dropped. All the people present were wealthy, and of course, they had all seen expensive jewelry. It was normal to buy a purse for hundreds of thousands, and jewelry worth millions was available at home.

But no matter who they were, they were not yet the top rich.

Young ladies couldn't wear them to a friend's birthday party, let alone go out and wear a necklace from a collection worth 230 million!

So… was the one on Chi Zhengzheng's neck real?

Xu Jiahong sneered lightly: "I went to my aunt's house a week ago, but I heard them mention this necklace. My aunt stores it carefully. How could she take it out? Chi Zhengzheng, we all know that you are run away from home and that you're hard-pressed for money, however, it shouldn't be as bad as to wear knockoffs, right?"

"Pfft–"

One after another, many people laughed out loud.

No matter whether they had a good relationship or normal relationship with An Qinru, they looked at Chi Zhengzheng mockingly at this moment.

For them, wearing knockoffs is even more embarrassing than wearing cheap ones!

And even if she wanted to wear a knockoff, an imitation of a necklace worth a few million was fine, people wouldn't necessarily expose it, but Chi Zhengzheng was so good, casually wearing a knockoff of a jewelry piece worth 230 million out!

Wasn't she afraid that someone may expose it?

Not to mention, before Xu Jiahong exposed it, they really didn't expect that the necklace around her neck was a knockoff. The overall value of the sapphires was too high. They were generally in collections, and most oftentimes, no one would report it.

They also didn't recognize it.
