389: Chapter 389: Poverty Limits Imagination!

The most expensive one?

The size of a pigeon’s egg?

The smiling sales associate, who had approached them, was instantly stunned by Wu Jie’s words.

What’s the situation?

Had they encountered a tycoon?

The sales associates in high-end jewelry stores had a discerning eye.

Just one glance at a customer’s attire was enough to gauge their purchasing power.

And the two customers before them, did they look like they were out of money?

The woman was tall and slender, with an extraordinary demeanor.

Though she wore sunglasses and a mask, hiding her face, her clothes were clearly not cheap.

A ring was already present on her right middle finger, the brand of which could not be discerned.

But judging by the material and especially its luster, it seemed better than platinum.

As for the man…

Who didn’t recognize him?

Wasn’t this Wu Jie, the model for the Underdog Counterattack that sent the internet ablaze a few days ago?

So that said…

the lady beside him must be the beautiful President Tang Xiao?

Gurgle!

The sales associate was both excited and anxious, standing there dazed, waving their hands repeatedly.

In a moment, the store manager hurried over.

“Both of you…”

Upon seeing them, the manager’s eyes widened in surprise.

Turing around, they immediately gestured to the other employees.

Clear the area!!

Close the store!!

Accompanied by the whirring sound of the electric motor, the specialized anti-theft roller shutter quickly descended.

At the same time, bulletproof glass doors shut closed.

The vast jewelry store was soon left with only Wu Jie and Tang Xiao.

The manager gathered all the staff together in a line, bowing and greeting the couple.

After serving dishes and pouring water, getting them seated, the staff became busy.

Like presenting a banquet, they consecutively brought out the store’s most expensive wedding rings.

This display…

Having money really does make you a boss!

Tang Xiao glanced indifferently and whispered to Wu Jie:

“Just buy any pair of wedding rings, why do you need such expensive ones?

No matter how good the diamond is, it’s still a stone!”

Wu Jie chuckled softly.

“Didn’t we agree that you’d listen to me?”

“Fine by me!

It’s not my money anyway!” Tang Xiao pouted, “I see you being so thrifty and economical usually, how come you’re acting like you took the wrong medicine today, being so extravagant and generous?”

Wu Jie casually picked up a platinum wedding ring, priced at 200,000, but the diamond was as tiny as half a grain of rice.

“What do you know?

Isn’t a man’s earnings meant to be spent on the woman he loves?”

As soon as he said that, Tang Xiao pursed her lips and scoffed.

She had heard another version of Wu Jie’s words from Tang Xin.

Tang Xin said, “A man who gives you money to spend doesn’t necessarily love you.

But a man who doesn’t spend money on you definitely doesn’t love you.”

According to Tang Xiao’s ‘twisted logic,’ it meant if a man was unwilling to spend money on a woman, he definitely didn’t love her.

So in that case, did Wu Jie truly love her?

Tang Xiao felt she just couldn’t believe it!

At that moment, the store manager emerged from the back office.

Probably went to open the safe.

“Good afternoon to our distinguished guests, I am the manager of this store!”

“I heard Mr.

Wu say earlier that he would like to buy a diamond as big as a pigeon’s egg.

According to the rules of our jewelry industry, diamonds of five carats and above can be called ‘pigeon-egg-sized’!”

The manager said, placing a tray holding four pairs of wedding rings in front of Wu Jie and Tang Xiao.

“Wedding rings typically cater to the woman, with the man’s ring often being secondary; of course, the price is not cheap either!”

“President Tang, among these four rings, which one do you like?” the manager asked with a beaming smile.

Tang Xiao glanced at them and found them truly exquisite and beautiful.

She took off her sunglasses, about to take a closer look, but was suddenly dazzled by the bright sparkle, causing her to instinctively turn her head away.

The diamonds were too shiny!

To use internet slang, they were indeed ‘blinding like 24K gold to a dog’s eyes.’

The diamond was massive, exuding sheer opulence!

“This ring, although the main diamond is only 5.53 carats, is matched with seventy-three brilliant-cut diamonds, and it’s priced at 11.88 million yuan.”

“This 9-carat solitaire diamond ring is priced at 9.88 million!

And this 12-carat diamond ring, with exquisite cutting and a beautiful, generous design, is priced at 22.88 million!”

“Of course, our most illustrious recommendation is the store’s treasure, named ‘Pure Love’.

The main diamond is 20 carats, set in platinum as the primary structure, and encrusted with 28 differently colored top-quality gemstones, which gives it a fantastical, multicolored and dreamlike beauty!”

As she spoke, the manager picked up ‘Pure Love’.

She wore pristine white gloves, cradling it carefully.

Under the shop’s soft white lighting, she gently twisted her wrist, letting the diamond ring sway slowly from side to side.

In that instant,

Wu Jie found that Tang Xiao had already become mesmerized.

It couldn’t be helped!

The diamond ring really was freaking dazzling!

And a glance at the price tag on the little card revealed just how freaking expensive it was!

The number was very auspicious, 5888, but the unit was heartbreaking.

Ten thousand yuan!!

Nearly sixty million!

Equivalent to wearing a Tianyuan Haoting penthouse on your finger.

This was truly a display of unbridled luxury!

After closely examining it, Wu Jie realized you truly get what you pay for.

The ‘Pure Love’ ring, worth over fifty million, really was a test of ‘true love’.

If one wasn’t immensely wealthy, if one didn’t deeply cherish their woman, who the heck would buy such an expensive diamond ring on a whim?

In the past, entertainment news had reported that some celebrity rings could cost tens of millions, even close to a hundred million.

Netizens would sarcastically comment, aren’t they afraid of having such expensive rings stolen?

Damn!

Would those wealthy enough to wear such pricey diamond rings go to crowded markets for grocery shopping?

Rush to sales events at malls for bargains?

Squeeze into the bustling crowds of buses and subways?

Just like the top luxury brands’ clothing, some of which can’t be washed and are meant to be worn once and then thrown away, or shoes that can’t be cleaned or get wet, or they’d be quickly ruined.

But why?

Their clothes and shoes are meant for attending high-end, sophisticated events, walking on red carpets, and dinners, not for laboring on construction sites or enduring the daily grind.

In short, poverty limits one’s imagination!

Just like the ‘Pure Love’ ring before us, and the other pricey diamond rings.

For the rich, if they find them exquisite and beautiful enough to complement their temperament, to match their status, they would buy them without hesitation.

After all, if nobody bought them, jewelers certainly wouldn’t make them.

Their availability here proves there are definitely people who can afford them, and their sale is just a matter of time.

Just like those top-of-the-line luxury cars that are limited to a few units, aren’t they still snapped up in an instant?

Wu Jie, on the other hand, was quite pleased.

There were still billions untouched in that bank card of his.

Dropping over fifty million was no big deal at all.

“Is the size of this ring fixed?

What if it doesn’t fit…”

As Wu Jie spoke, he reached out to take the ‘Pure Love’ ring with one hand while he took Tang Xiao’s hand with the other.

“I don’t want it, it’s too expensive!!”

Tang Xiao struggled to free her hand and shook her head repeatedly.

“President Tang, the price of this, while indeed astronomical for the average person, shouldn’t be considered expensive for the two of you, right?” The manager asked with an awkward smile.

Tang Xiao still shook her head firmly.

“I’m not showing off my wealth, why would I need such an expensive ring?

Plus, it’s too big and affects everyday life.

What if it accidentally falls off, then what?”

“But I want to buy it for you!” Wu Jie urged, “Just try it on!”

“I won’t!!”

Tang Xiao’s stance was resolute.

“I know you’re rich, I know you want to prove how good you are to me, but there’s no need to show off in such a flashy way.

If you really want to buy, then go find a woman who will wear it, because I won’t!”

With a sigh, Wu Jie casually picked up one of the four rings, the cheapest 9-carat diamond ring.

“This one, not even ten million, that should be okay, right?”

Tang Xiao turned away and pointed toward a pair of very simple and ordinary platinum couple rings inside the glass display.

No diamonds, no intricate design, no dazzling sparkle or brilliance.

At a glance, they actually looked like two ‘shiny iron rings’, only made of platinum, so much more expensive than iron rings.

But the price…

1688 yuan.

Compared to the ‘Pure Love’ diamond ring, this was over thirty thousand times cheaper!!

“Just buy those!

That’s all I’ll wear at our wedding!”

Tang Xiao’s tone was absolute.

With those words, everyone felt awkward.

A billionaire who could effortlessly buy a diamond ring worth millions was only interested in a pair of rings costing a little over a thousand?

Could it be that everyone’s imaginations were being stifled by poverty?

Seeing Tang Xiao’s resolute demeanor, the manager knew a domineering CEO was not someone to be trifled with, and giving up on persuading her was the only option.

So, both the manager and the staff turned their hopeful and eager gazes towards Wu Jie.

Would Wu Jie, with his substantial wealth, secure ‘Pure Love’ for the sake of true love?
