Chapter 281: 276 Wealthy life

After confirming the authenticity of Medusa’s Eye, the paperwork took almost half an hour.

When leaving, Zhai Zhuang personally saw them to the door.

"Rui Rui, the diamond just lying there, won’t something happen to it?"

"It’s fine, Mom, didn’t you get the receipt? They wouldn’t dare mess around with something so valuable."

Xue Mingqin was still somewhat worried.

"Auntie Xue, Zhou Taifu is at least a top domestic jewelry brand, they wouldn’t joke about their reputation. That blood diamond, no matter how precious, still can’t compare to their brand."

It was only after Jiang Chen spoke that Xue Mingqin finally felt somewhat relieved.

"Xiao Jiang, this time... you’ve really spent a lot."

A diamond worth nearly one hundred million.

They had only heard such things in the news before.

The entire Xue family fell silent.

Even Zou Luoxia, who couldn’t stop singing the praises of her potential son-in-law, remained quiet.

Liu Hongzhi was indeed extraordinary, compared to the average person he was a dragon among men, but how could he compare to someone who was overpowered?

Being able to gift a diamond worth nearly one hundred million as if it was nothing, their own concept of wealth and assets...

Was difficult to imagine.

Afterwards, the group indeed went to purchase a safe, which was delivered and installed at home.

Zou Luoxia didn’t dare to make careless comments anymore.

Given the value of that diamond, even putting it in a bank vault wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

"Sister, let’s call Shuzhi and the others for dinner tonight, I’ll treat."

Zou Luoxia’s smile was full of warmth, even more enthusiastic than usual.

She really wasn’t very ambitious.

But people will never envy those who are too far above them.

For example, a beggar will never envy a billionaire; he will only envy another beggar.

That’s human nature.

Besides.

If the niece could land a wealthy suitor, it would definitely be a good thing for their whole family.

Not to say one person’s success would elevate even the dogs and chickens of the family, at the very least they could benefit from the good fortune, couldn’t they?

Moreover.

This was beyond the description of a mere wealthy suitor.

Zou Luoxia quickly adjusted her mentality.

Xue Mingqin naturally had no reason to refuse.

————

"Sister-in-law, you’re not joking, right? More than eighty million?"

During the meal, Xue Shuzhi and her husband were unsurprisingly shocked to hear the news.

"What joke? I even took pictures. Do you want to see? I guarantee, you’ve never seen such a beautiful diamond."

Zou Luoxia took out her phone.

Xue Shuzhi and her husband looked at each other after seeing the dazzling, huge blood diamond in the photos.

Although they had heard mention of it at dinner the day before.

The actual item still far surpassed their imagination.

"Sister, is this diamond really over eighty million?"

After handing the phone back to Zou Luoxia, Xue Shuzhi turned to ask Xue Mingqin, still somewhat incredulous.

"Mhm."

Xue Mingqin nodded her head.

Seeing this, Xue Shuzhi and Chai Rong simultaneously looked at Jiang Chen, who was silent yesterday, with an extremely odd expression.

"Stop staring, let’s eat."

Xue Gui coughed lightly, not willing for his family to seem too "mercenary", even though he himself was equally restless.

"Rui Rui, when are you going back to East Sea?"

"Tomorrow, I guess."

"So soon?"

"Aunt, we only have a three-day holiday."

"That’s true, they have classes to attend."

Xue Gui nodded.

Zou Luoxia sighed as if reluctant to part.

"Aunt, you can come visit East Sea when you have time."

Li Shuru smiled and said.

"Really? I’ve never been to East Sea before."

"Of course it’s true. When the time comes, you and uncle, my mom, and my aunt can all come together. I’ll be your guide."

"Then it’s settled. We’ll definitely visit when we have the time."

Zou Luoxia nodded with a smile brimming with happiness.

Xue Shuzhi and Chai Rong exchanged glances.

Yesterday, their sister-in-law couldn’t stop talking about their prospective son-in-law, but in just one day, the direction of the wind had changed significantly.

Indeed, adept at sensing which way the wind blows.

"Lil Liu, how about you guys have a drink?"

Zou Luoxia proposed.

The underlying intent was undoubtedly to get closer to Jiang Chen.

Having survived in a dog-eat-dog place like Wall Street, Liu Hongzhi was certainly a clever man.

If the household, ordinary woman like Zou Luoxia could understand such logic, how could he not?

Even though he didn’t fully grasp the background of this college student, the alarming financial power displayed was enough reason for him to befriend him.

Having one more friend was definitely not a bad thing.

"Then I’ll have a couple of drinks with my uncle."

He used the situation to his advantage.

Jiang Chen naturally couldn’t refuse.

With a drinking culture that has been part of Shenzhou since ancient times, a few drinks indeed relaxed the atmosphere considerably, and under the influence of alcohol, they were no longer so estranged and reserved.

"Xiao Jiang, Rui Rui is entrusted to you. Even though her father isn’t here anymore, she still has me, her uncle. If you dare let her down, I won’t let you off."

Xue Gui’s capacity for alcohol was clearly not great; his face was red after less than two drinks.

"Do you really think you need to say that?"

Zou Luoxia scolded, while apologetically glancing at Jiang Chen.

The fact that he had brought such an expensive diamond was enough to prove his sincerity.

"Don’t mind him, Xiao Jiang, he talks nonsense when he’s drunk," she said.

Jiang Chen merely smiled, not minding at all.

"You hear that? If you ever dare to bully me, I’ll tell my uncle to stand up for me."

Li Shuru said cutely.

This comment brought laughter from all the elders present.

At the same time, they could tell that their girl was deeply enamored, too deep to extricate herself.

"Sister, since you’re free at home anyway, why not go with the two kids to East Sea? The last time my brother-in-law was sick, you didn’t get to explore much. This time, let them take you on a nice tour. If I were you, I’d have gone abroad for fun by now. Lily has been studying abroad for so long, and I haven’t even visited her."

"Auntie, if you want to come, you can at any time. Ya Li and I will welcome you whenever."

Liu Hongzhi chimed in at the right moment.

"Mom, yeah, why not come back to East Sea with us?"

Li Shuru looked at her mother.

Xue Mingqin shook her head.

"Forget it, you’re still in school, and I don’t want to disrupt your classes. I’ll just come for a visit after you two have graduated and settled down in East Sea."

"Rui Rui, do you guys plan to stay and develop a career in East Sea in the future?"

Xue Shuzhi asked subconsciously.

Li Shuru glanced at Jiang Chen, "I don’t know."

"You don’t know? Haven’t you considered this issue yet?"

"Times are different now, transportation is so advanced, and there’s no need to settle down in one place."

Chai Rong woke up everyone with his words as if from a dream.

Xue Shuzhi realized as if waking from a dream.

Right.

It was her way of thinking that was narrow.

Her niece’s boyfriend was no ordinary man; he couldn’t be judged by the usual standards.

"Mom, if you feel bored at home, you could go to East Sea. My classes are pretty relaxed now, and I have time to accompany you."

Li Shuru indeed felt quite sorry for her mother.

Her maternal aunt and uncle had their work, and her parents did, too, so it was impossible for them to keep her mother company often. How lonely must she feel staying home alone?

"If I go to East Sea, where would I stay? It’s not like I can live in a hotel every day. Or are you suggesting we rent another apartment?"

Xue Mingqin laughed and shook her head.

"Mom, there’s no need to trouble yourself, Jiang Chen has already bought me an apartment."

As the saying goes, the speaker does not mean it, but the listener might take it to heart.

All eyes present naturally turned to Li Shuru.

"Rui Rui, what did you just say?"

Zou Luoxia asked, half-doubtful.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Li Shuru realized she had slipped up, but there was nothing to hide at this point.

"Aunt, Jiang Chen gave me an apartment, so if you all want to visit East Sea, don’t worry about where to stay."

Although a bit surprised, with the prior situation of the blood diamond, buying an apartment didn’t seem too hard to accept.

"Sis, Rui Rui is really lucky, still in school and already has an apartment in East Sea."

Zou Luoxia exclaimed with a sense of envy, then asked, "Rui Rui, where exactly is your apartment?""

"East Pu, right next to Lu Jiazui. It’s very convenient to go anywhere by subway."

Zou Luoxia, never having been to East Sea, didn’t understand the deep implications of Li Shuru’s words, but just because she didn’t, didn’t mean others didn’t.

"Rui Rui, aren’t the real estate prices around Lu Jiazui at least around 100,000 yuan per square meter?"

Chai Rong inquired.

"About that, yes."

"100,000 yuan per square meter then. An average apartment there must cost tens of millions, right?"

Xue Gui remarked, unable to help himself.

"Brother, East Sea is now an international metropolis. In terms of development, it’s not much less than New York, Paris, or Tokyo. An apartment costing tens of millions is quite normal."

"Rui Rui, when did all this happen? Why didn’t you tell your mom?"

Xue Mingqin looked at her daughter.

"Mom, isn’t that why I came back this time, to tell you?"

Xue Mingqin wanted to say that since they weren’t married and were only dating, she shouldn’t accept too many things from the man, but with Jiang Chen present, it was not appropriate to say these things out loud.

"Sis, this is a matter for the young people. As their elders, we should be happy for them."

Zou Luoxia knew what her cousin sister was thinking and subtly reminded her.

If the man is willing to give, why not accept? It’s common for the woman to be at a disadvantage in a relationship, so taking some advantages is only fair.

If it were her daughter who had such a lavish boyfriend, she’d probably wake up laughing from her dreams.

Besides, they had accepted a diamond worth 86 million yuan, so an apartment hardly seemed to matter anymore.

"Sis, aren’t the surrounding areas of Lu Jiazui full of luxury housing?"

Xue Yali asked.

"You could say that."

"That Spring and Autumn thing, isn’t it around there?"

Zou Luoxia inquired.

"Spring and Autumn Plaza? Yes."

Xue Shuzhi nodded.

In all of Shenzhou, there was likely no one who hadn’t heard of this luxurious housing estate’s reputation.

"Rui Rui, is your apartment close to Spring and Autumn Plaza? I heard that it’s the most prestigious residential area in East Sea, inhabited by the exceedingly wealthy..."

Li Shuru hesitated a moment.

"Aunt, my apartment is in Spring and Autumn Plaza."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The private room fell into a sudden silence.

"Sis, you’re now living in Spring and Autumn Plaza?"

Even Xue Yali was taken aback.

After all, the name stood as a benchmark for luxury homes in the country, comparable to New York’s Park Avenue. It was a dream far out of reach for most people.

"I go there occasionally; that villa is too big..."

Before Li Shuru could finish, Zou Luoxia cut her off, "Villa?!"

The Xue family looked at each other.

"How much would a villa in Spring and Autumn Plaza cost?"

Xue Shuzhi asked her husband quietly.

"A minor goal for sure, definitely more than that."

Chai Rong gave a wry smile, "It seems that fortune teller wasn’t wrong after all; your niece truly has a destiny of wealth."
