Jiang Tingzhou wasn't interested in gemstones before, but after marrying Xu Wan, he started thinking about wedding rings.
Given his status, it's impossible for him to simply choose a ten or twenty-carat wedding ring as a perfunctory gesture.
However, diamonds that are large in weight and have perfect purity and clarity are extremely rare, and colored diamonds are even rarer.
Jiang Tingzhou trusted his mother's judgment and asked, "Is it an auction today? Help me win it. There's no budget; we'll keep bidding until the last bidder wins."
A pink diamond of over thirty carats might not sound too impressive, but Jiang Tingzhou knew that Ling Ya must have called him because the diamond was a perfect fit.
“What are you dreaming about? Why don’t you just put your good diamonds up for auction? They’re all exhibited around the world for all the rich people to see, and then they choose one place to auction them.” After explaining this to her son, Lingya continued, “But I’ve already inquired for you. The owner is planning to hold a sea auction for this diamond next year. I’ll keep an eye on it for you. You can go and bid for it and give it to Wanwan.”
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tingzhou searched for information about the pink diamond online.
Based on the diamond information he had gathered during this period, it was clear that this pink diamond was indeed, as his mother had said, a very rare diamond.
This diamond was cut using the emerald cut.
This cutting method is only suitable for large diamonds and is extremely demanding on the diamond's purity and clarity.
The fact that this cutting method was used indicates that the diamond is excellent in every aspect.

Xu Pingrong's health was actually fine, except for some discomfort in his heart.
However, Xu Wan still suggested that her mother stay one more night, since it was the weekend and she could stay and keep her company.
Jiang Tingzhou stayed with them until after 5 p.m. before leaving due to company business.
Xu Wan and Xu Pingrong had just finished dinner and were about to accompany her for a walk when her phone started ringing.
It's the sound of a WeChat call.
Xu Wan glanced at the name and then realized it was Cheng Xue, whom she had just added that afternoon.
Xu Wan picked up her phone and went to the corridor to answer it.
"Attorney Xu, this is Cheng Xue. Are you off work? Have I bothered you?"
Cheng Xue's voice was very soft, and you could tell she was a little nervous.
Xu Wan looked up through the glass of the corridor and glanced out the window. "I'm off work. It's okay. Just tell me what's on your mind."
Cheng Xue's profession is unique, and regardless of whether she has met him before, her profession could potentially bring him clients.
For the sake of her customers, Xu Wan didn't mind working overtime to answer their questions.
"Attorney Xu, I just want to ask you about something personal. After your mother killed your father, what did she do? Did she go straight to the police station to turn herself in? Who is the lawyer representing you? Can you recommend him to me?"
When Cheng Xue said these words, her tone was the same as usual, as if she didn't realize she was saying anything extraordinary.
Xu Wan had already realized something. "Cheng Xue, there is a solution to everything. We can use the law. Murder is the worst thing we can do. My mother paid a terrible price for it. It was not worth it at all."
There was a long silence on the phone. Cheng Xue said, "If I had other options, I wouldn't be asking you. I want to take my mother abroad, but I can't earn that much money in a short time, and... I don't want to let that man have it."
Tell me about your family situation, and I'll see if there's anything I can do to help.
Xu Wan wasn't sure how she could help.
She had met Cheng Xue once, and she didn't want her to go astray because of a momentary lapse in judgment, so that she could never turn back.
There was a long silence on the phone.
Xu Wan could even sense Cheng Xue's struggle in the silence.
“Cheng Xue,” Xu Wan tried to speak, “I chose to become a lawyer because of my mother’s situation. Back then, I couldn’t help myself or my mother, but I will try my best to help you.”
There was still silence on the phone.
After a long time, Cheng Xue finally said, "Attorney Xu, my father tried to rape me when I was a child, and I bit off his finger. My mother was hit on the head by my father three years ago and became mentally ill. Now she can only be locked at home. I want to take my mother away from here, but I don't have the ability."
At this moment, Xu Wan finally understood why Cheng Xue had been silent.
It really takes a lot of courage to speak out about these things.
