Chapter 37 — Calm down

"Isn't Chi Zhengzheng too bold? To go as far as wearing a knockoff of a 230 million piece of jewelry?"

"Not to mention, the knockoff looks quite real, it looks very expensive, you can't get the feeling of it being cheap at all."

"Ugh, Chi Zhengzheng has been really foolish today, to go as far as wearing an imitation of such a precious item as Dream of Deep Sea in public."

"No, this is also Xu Jiahong's aunt's family's collection, isn't she just asking to be exposed?"

"She's really embarrassed herself this time, I already feel embarrassed for her."

…

Chi Zhengzheng didn't say anything, her expression was somewhat lifeless. No one could tell from her expression what she was thinking, but they could feel that – she was lost in thought.

Her knockoff was exposed, and she was actually lost in thought?

Wen Sisi was also taken aback, she pursed her lips, and subconsciously defended Chi Zhengzheng: "Xu Jiahong, what Chi Zhengzheng wears is none of your business, okay? This is my birthday party, don't mess around!"

"Sisi, don't be angry, after all, this matter has to do with Jiahong's aunt's company, she's a little worried, you should be somewhat understanding. Jiahong, you too, isn't this something you could talk in private ah." An Qinru explained, looking as if she was taking the whole situation into consideration.

Even Wen Sisi couldn't find anything wrong with her words, she even thought that she was trying to smooth things over.

But Xu Jiahong understood as soon as she heard it, and now she had even more courage and stepped forward–

"Sisi, this time I have to expose Chi Zhengzheng. You know the influence that imitations have on my aunt and their collection. This is a very disgraceful thing in the jewelry industry! I have to seek justice for the Dream of Deep Sea and let everyone know that the value of the Dream of Deep Sea and the fact that it's still in the hands of my aunt and their jewelry company!"

These words were said with great righteousness.

Wen Sisi was choked up, and for a moment, she didn't know how to refute.

After all, Xu Jiahong's aunt's family was in the jewelry business, and it was very big, so although Xu Jiahong's family wasn't really capable, she was also in their circle, and now she wanted to stand up for her aunt. What could she say?

Wen Yiran, who was standing on the sidelines, took a deep look at Chi Zhengzheng, his expression was still complicated, but in the complexity, there was a hint of indescribable joy.

– See, you insist on wanting to live with Wen Yu, what could you get?

– The house they lived in was someone else's house, and even the jewelry she wore was fake, she didn't even have cheap stuff, only knockoffs.

Chi Zhouchen pursed his lips, he looked at Chi Zhengzheng somewhat grumbling, thinking in his heart, "How could Chi Zhengzheng be so foolish? Could it be possible that she didn't know?

She most likely didn't know!

He took a step forward and was about to defend Chi Zhengzheng.

She didn't know it was a knockoff, so it was excusable, there wasn't a need to put her on a pedestal.

An Qinru noticed that Chi Zhouchen had moved forward and knew that he was going to stand up for Chi Zingzheng and immediately said: "Jiahong, isn't it possible that you misunderstood? It's possible that what Sister Zhengzheng is wearing… is the actual Dream of Deep Sea?"

"Pfft." Someone immediately sneered lightly. "How is that possible?"

Dream of Deep Sea was worth 230 million, how could she casually walk around in public without even bringing with her a bodyguard!

"Hmph, I'll give my aunt a call to confirm, lest others say I've wronged you!" After Xu Jiahong finished speaking, she directly took out her cell phone, dialed a phone number, and turned on the loudspeaker.

Wen Sisi and Chi Zhouchen wanted to stop her, but Xu Jiahong moved too fast, after it rang twice, the other party picked up.

The two had no choice but to purse their lips and stand next to each other.

On the other end was a middle-aged woman with a somewhat serious voice: "Who is it?"

"Auntie, it's me, Jiahong." Xu Jiahong immediately softened her voice and put a smile on her face, obviously currying favor with her.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" Ms. Xu's attitude was okay, but it wasn't very gentle.

Xu Jiahong looked at Chi Zhengzheng and raised her chin slightly: "It's like this, auntie, I know you have a piece of jewelry worth 230 million called Dreams of Deep Sea…"

"Oh, you want to ask about Dreams of Deep Sea, huh? It was sold yesterday, it's not with me now." Ms. Xu on the other end directly interrupted what she was going to say next.

Xu Jiahong was taken aback, raised her voice and her voice was somewhat sharp: "What?! You actually sold it?"

"Yes, it was sold, just yesterday." Ms. Xu was obviously happier thinking about how the Dreams of Deep Sea was sold.

So, she said a few more words: "The buyer said it was to match a long azure dress, caged style silk dress which was very beautiful, the other party saw the Dreams of Deep Sea and liked it right away, and said it was just the right fit. Tsk, who knows in which fancy party the Dreams of Deep Sea dream will appear in…"

Because of the loudspeaker, the sound was very clear, everyone could hear it.

Everyone's mouths opened slightly, and they all looked at Chi Zhengzheng's "swish swish"azure dress with a shocked expression!

They couldn't believe it all matched!

The piece around her neck was really Dreams of Deep Sea! The Dreams of Deep Sea that was worth 230 million!

Was there a problem with their eyes or was there a problem with their heads?

Appear at a fancy party?

No! It was just an ordinary birthday party!

Xu Jiahong also had cold sweat appearing on her forehead immediately, and she asked with a trembling voice: "Auntie, do you know who bought it…"

"This is the privacy of our customers, it's not something you should ask, I still have things to do, if you don't have anything, don't call me." Hearing Xu Jiahong inquire about the buyer, Ms. Xu was immediately upset and her voice was serious.

After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.

After the phone "beep beep beep" sound, there wasn't any more sound.

There was no sound on the scene.

They all looked at Chi Zhengzheng with a shocked expression, as well as the Dreams of Deep Sea on her neck.

Wen Sisi was also stunned and laughed out loud for a long time: "Hahaha, Xu Jiahong, you have nothing to say anymore, right? What Chi Zhengzheng is wearing around her neck is the real Dreams of Deep Sea!"

It was just sold yesterday, and it just happened to be bought to match an azure dress, plus the necklace around Chi Zhengzheng's neck looked like a necklace of exceptional quality, there was nothing more to say – she was really wearing Dreams of Deep Sea!

Even Ms. Xu was curious about which fancy party it would show up in, but in fact, it was worn by a young girl in her early twenties, who had just run away from home and whom they thought was very poor, to an ordinary birthday party!

Everyone present was young, even Wen Yiran who wasn't in power yet, couldn't get his hands on 230 million!

"You, why didn't you just say it?!" Xu Jiahong's voice trembled as she stared at Chi Zhengzheng to death.

Chi Zhengzheng finally blinked her lost in thought eyes, she looked at Xu Jiahong, her voice was serene, calm, and collected: "Oh, did I just say it was fake?"

Therefore, it was all in their imagination!

Xu Jiahong almost spit out a mouthful of blood, they all laughed at her at this point, she didn't even speak out, who could have thought that she was wearing the real thing!

She wanted to hit Chi Zhengzheng in the face, but now, her face seemed to have received several slaps, as if she was in scorching pain.

An Qinru was also stunned and looked at Chi Zhengzheng in disbelief.

How was it possible? How could she be wearing Dreams of Deep Sea? How could she afford it? Or who would buy it for her?!

How was it possible?!

She was so shocked that she lost her words and stared at the necklace on Chi Zhengzheng's neck.

There was shock, envy, and jealousy in her eyes.

That was something that she may never have in her lifetime.

"Chi Zhengzheng… is Dreams of Deep Sea yours? Who bought it for you?" Someone asked weakly.

– She asked it on behalf of An Qinru.

Chi Zhengzheng looked at her, her expression unchanged, and smiled: "What does it have to do with you?"

Everyone: "…"

She spoke very nonchalantly, but at this moment, none of them said anything more. The jewelry on Chi Zhengzheng's neck really shocked them and made them speechless.

"Wen Sisi, today is your birthday, let's cut the cake." Chi Zhengzheng looked at Wen Sisi.

– Her words put an end to this farce.

Thus, everyone followed the current course, they pushed the very tall cake out, sang a birthday song for Wen Sisi, who closed her eyes and made a wish, and shared the cake with the crowd.

It's just that the atmosphere was no longer the same as before.

Everyone intentionally or unintentionally went to look at Chi Zhengzheng, and also intentionally looked at the Dreams of Deep Sea on her neck, with shocked and envious eyes.

Xu Jiahong had long since hidden behind the crowd, not daring to venture out.

She only felt that everyone was looking at her with ridicule, all of them were laughing at her!

But in fact, she thought too much, almost everyone was looking at Chi Zhengzheng, paying attention to Chi Zhengzheng, no one was paying attention to Xu Jiahong at all!

Talking behind her back, An Qinru gritted her teeth: "Weren't you so sure that the one on her neck was fake?!"

Her heart seemed to be burning like a fire, she wanted to burn everything up.

Chi Zhengzheng, who ran away from home, should be poor and miserable. Why was she be better off than before?

Why was she able to wear something they didn't even dare to think about on her neck?

Xu Jiahong opened her mouth and stammered: "How could I know that she could afford to wear the real thing…"

After saying that, she glared at An Qinru again, raising her voice: "If you hadn't hinted that I should call my aunt, how could I be this humiliated?!"

She didn't keep her voice down, and someone around noticed them.

Blockhead!

Disgust flashed across An Qinru's eyes, but her mouth sounded aggrieved: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was advising you to solve it privately. Who made you make such a big scene? Jiahong, you can't get mad at me!"

"You, you, you!" Xu Jiahong was so angry that she couldn't say anything.

These two "good girlfriends" who had been tied together and had been tormenting the original owner, finally had an irreparable rift.

Chi Zhengzheng was drinking a cup of water, and people couldn't see any emotion in her expression.

Chi Zhouchen came over, opened his mouth for a long time before asking: "Chi Zhengzheng, is it really Dreams of Deep Sea?"

It wasn't that he doubted the authenticity of it, he just couldn't believe that Chi Zhengzheng was wearing Dreams of Deep Sea!

"I think that it should be true." Chi Zhengzhen said this, very calmly.

Chi Zhouchen paused for a while before finally saying: "Who gave it to you?"

"That's none of your business." Chi Zhengzhen reached out and stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, obviously telling him to shut up.

Chi Zhouchen was taken aback.

This was the first time he had eaten something that Chi Zhengzheng had fed. He was stunned for a while before slowly opening his mouth and eating slowly.

Forget it, Chi Zhengzhen has left the Chi house, the Chi family wronged her too many times, they were not qualified to control her. Seeing that she could even wear jewelry worth 230 million, she won't have a bad life…

He ate the cake in small bites and shook his head helplessly.

After Chi Zhouchen left, Chi Zhengzheng still sat there with a calm expression, feeling others' gazes, she was also undisturbed, she didn't move at all.

Soon, others exchanged whispers –

"Chi Zhengzheng is too calm!"

"Looking so calm wearing such an expensive piece of jewelry and giving handmade gifts, that being said, I think for the first time Chi Zhengzheng is quite cool."

"Yeah, and she's so pretty!"

"I want to be friends with her, but I don't dare to go over…"

"Me too, I don't dare to go over and talk to her."

…

Wen Sisi listened to the chatter, holding the cake she had just cut in her hand, she walked towards Chi Zhengzheng.

She had a complicated expression.

After walking in front of her, she glanced at Chi Zhengzheng's neck with a complicated look, and for a moment, she was a little unsure of what to say.

Although she had always been on Chi Zhengzheng's side, although she had just supported her and called out Xu Jiahong because she was wearing the real Dreams of Deep Sea, in reality, the feelings in her heart were also quite complicated.

The Chi Zhengzheng she knew should be the one who blackmailed her of more than 6,000 yuan and could wear a broken sweater for several days. She should that thick-skinned woman who didn't even buy her a bottle of water. It should be the disagreeable woman who wore crocodile pajamas to save money…

Instead of the one in front of her, the necklace around her neck was worth 230 million. No matter what others said, she always sat calmly in the hall, a composed beauty…

She hadn't spoken yet, and she didn't know what to say.

At this time, Chi Zhengzheng spoke up: "Wen Sisi."

"Hmm?" Wen Sisi answered in a complicated manner.
