Cheng Xiaoxiao was furious, her face turning bright red.
She was always very concerned about her reputation, and now that she had lost all face, she vented her anger on Jiang Can, raising her hand to hit him, but was pulled back by the people around her.
Those around her pointed to the surveillance camera on the ceiling and advised her to be patient and let things calm down.
Cheng Xiaoxiao glared at Jiang Can with hatred, and after a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "What's so great about marrying a penniless man? Forget about diamond rings, he can't even afford to buy you brass or iron hoops! You two poor couple, you'll be poor for the rest of your lives!"
After saying that, she turned and left. Jiang Can watched her furious back and gently curled her lips.
It seems like I won't have many peaceful days at the company from now on.
She needs to plan ahead and prepare a backup plan.
...
The next day, when Jiang Can appeared at the company, she was different from usual.
She, who doesn't usually wear makeup, put on some light makeup, and there were also some extra things on her hands.
A huge emerald ring.
Her colleagues stared at her with wide eyes. The ring's setting looked like pure gold, with delicate carvings on the band, and the emerald on it was crystal clear, making it look very luxurious.
However, the ring's design is a bit old-fashioned, as if it's something from a long time ago.
Jiang Can lowered her head and gently stroked it.
This is what she took out of that box last night. Her fingers are slender, and it's a bit big on her. Gu Mang said to send it to a jewelry store to be altered before she could wear it, but she couldn't wait.
Didn't Cheng Xiaoxiao say that her husband couldn't even afford a ring?
Let her see for herself what she's wearing today!
"Jiang Can, this is so beautiful!" The female colleagues in the office all gathered around, looking at it curiously. "I've never seen a ring like this before. Is it custom-made?"
“But it looks too old,” someone objected, “like an antique.”
"Jiang Can, was this a gift from your husband? Why is it so big? Did your mother-in-law wear it too? Is it a family heirloom?"
Jiang Can remained silent while smiling.
Cheng Xiaoxiao walked past her and glanced at her ring.
Her eyes lit up. Although the ring was old-fashioned, it was clearly a fine piece that had stood the test of time. But…
How could Jiang Can possibly possess such a treasure?
Cheng Xiaoxiao scoffed lightly, then said with a cold laugh, "Could it be fake?"
The office suddenly fell silent. People felt a little awkward and returned to their seats.
“Jiang Can, we’re from the same school, so as your senior, I have to give you a few words of advice.” Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at her sideways. “This ring is old and worn out, and the stuff on it is obviously stained glass. What emerald… Ha, you’ve probably been fooled by your husband. He’s using this piece of junk to please you?”
Jiang Can touched the ring, met her gaze, and replied calmly, "I wear a ring only to prove that I am married, and I don't use it for anything else. Whether it's glass or gemstone, it makes no difference to me."
"Besides," she smiled frankly, "as long as it's a gift from my husband, even if it's a brass ring or an iron ring, it's his heartfelt intention, and I'll still like it!"
"Ha," Cheng Xiaoxiao scoffed, "What a poor life!"
Jiang Can didn't take it to heart and continued to immerse herself in her busy work.
In the afternoon, Jiang Can was working on the sales plan for the next quarter when she heard An An muttering beside her, "They're really obsessed with orders, bringing all sorts of people to the company!"
Jiang Can was taken aback and turned to look at her.
An An gestured towards her with her lip, and Jiang Can looked up to see another group of people coming and going in Cheng Xiaoxiao's office.
If I remember correctly, this was the fifth group of customers she had served that afternoon.
It seems she's held a grudge about having her order stolen.
Jiang Can smiled slightly, and was about to continue burying herself in her project proposal when she heard Cheng Xiaoxiao standing at the door of her office calling out, "Jiang Can, come in for a moment!"
