"Qiu Zhi said his family just received a new batch of jewelry, come check it out with me," Su Ziceng whispered in Yan Wuxu’s ear, who then relaxed her cutlery, reluctantly drank some milk, and stood up. Yan Wuxu had already received Su Qingzhang’s medical report. Before this, she had undergone several medical examinations, not only in Mo City but even visited the most authoritative gynecologist in Bianjing City. Just as Han Fang had said, the problem lay with Su Qingzhang. Due to his age, his sperm activity was poor, leading to difficulties for Yan Wuxu to conceive. Was Su Qingzhang aware of this and thus had her sign that prenuptial agreement? The more Yan Wuxu thought about it, the more confused she became. Her heart was already a messy ball of yarn, and Su Qingzhang was the malicious cat playing with it at will. "I really can’t understand what Grandma is thinking, she just refuses to let me invest money in the stock market," Qiu Zhi was still the same, his round face reminding one of a well-made steamed bun. Jewelry stores from international brands had begun appearing in Mo City, their novel designs and extensive advertising campaigns were greatly impacting "Qiu Sheng Jewelry". Although Qiu Zhi might be emotionally stunted like a child, he exhibited unique vision in business and management. "Our designers and craftsmen are all from decades ago, each one just like my grandmother, have become antiques. International brands release new designs every few weeks, but our display windows have always had the same few styles." Listening to Qiu Zhi’s complaints, Su Ziceng kept nodding her head. She had already seen Qiu Sheng’s newly acquired batch of gems and diamonds, and heard the appraiser say that they were all of top quality, but she felt something was missing. Yan Wuxu’s gaze stayed fixed on one jewelry display of diamonds, "Only diamonds are forever," she reached her hand to her ear. "What’s wrong?" Qiu Zhi saw the change in Su Ziceng’s expression. Su Ziceng turned her head, looked around the shop, and didn’t notice anything unusual, but her necklace "Red Love" seemed to react as if it sensed something, perhaps because Qiu Zhi was nearby? "Stop complaining, you’re the only grandson of Qiu Family, it’ll all be on your shoulders eventually," Su Ziceng knew that in a few years, Qiu Zhi would sell off the poorly managed Qiu Sheng Jewelry, but she didn’t know what means he used to convince the stubborn Old Lady Qiu. Because he is the only grandson of the Qiu Family, everything including the diamonds in front of them will belong to Qiu Zhi. Yan Wuxu tilted her ear, looking at Qiu Zhi who stood next to Su Ziceng and kept wiping his sweat. An unimpressive short chubby man, but due to his good familial background, he effortlessly got everything. "Yo, today really is quite the coincidence," Fei Qing walked in, his eyes first glanced around at everyone, then finally landed on the batch of diamonds Yan Wuxu was examining. "Heard your shop got a batch of good quality diamonds, came to have a look," Fei Qing pulled over the whole tray of uncut diamonds Yan Wuxu was looking at. The diamonds hadn’t been processed yet, all laid on a narrow velvet tray, a few diamonds hopped under Yan Wuxu’s fingers, and with a gentle pull by Fei Qing, the diamonds brushed through the gaps of her fingers, creating a painful sensation, tinged with the painful luxury of money. The Fei Family was recently quite flourishing, no one knew how Mr. Fei managed to connect with people in Bianjing City, his running for council was done flamboyantly, and Fei Qing’s purchase of diamonds was undoubtedly for bribing certain crucial officials. "Can’t bear to part with them? If you like, just say the word, considering our past relationship, I could give you a few," Fei Qing’s voice prickled through Yan Wuxu’s hair, hovering around her ear. Yan Wuxu let go of her hand, stepping back as if avoiding the plague, while Su Ziceng frowned and gave Qiu Zhi a look, "The items were ours first." She wasn’t really interested in buying that batch of diamonds, but seeing Fei Qing, she couldn’t help but want to take severe action; some men’s foreheads might as well have a big "cheap" written on them, making one unable to suppress the urge to spit. "No need to speak, she offers how much, I’ll add ten percent more," Fei Qing waved his hand impatiently. Recently he heard about the quarrel between Su and Hang Families, Fei Family immediately signed a partnership with Hang Family. This batch of diamonds was to be presented to the upper management department of the beachfront developers. Su Ziceng and Qiu Zhi exchanged glances, amazed that Fei Qing, without asking, allowed himself to be slaughtered with an extra ten percent, truly a prodigal seen once in a thousand years. Han Fang had been waiting outside the jewelry store and saw Yan Wuxu’s awkward encounter with Fei Qing. He knew that before Yan Wuxu was with Su Qingzhang, she had another man. Looking at the slick and powdered Fei Qing, he unconsciously clenched his fists. It was only when Su Ziceng and Yan Wuxu came out that his expression softened. "Take me to the Wine Shop," Su Ziceng, having arbitrarily raised the price, effectively slaughtered Fei Qing thoroughly, felt incredibly refreshed, "Wuxu, do you want to come take a look too?" "No, Brother Han, please take me to Fourth District," Yan Wuxu watched as Su Ziceng got out of the car. She didn’t let Han Fang drive to Mrs. Yan’s place, but asked him to keep driving until they reached the front of a guesthouse. "Brother Han," Yan Wuxu opened the car door, stepped out, and looked at the surprised Han Fang, "Can you keep this secret for me? I beg you." Her hand grasped Han Fang’s arm, holding tightly, not willing to let go. (To be continued.
