Lu Jingyi saw the two people next to him as soon as he entered the door, but he ignored them. In fact, they were secretly planning something bad, and he would not forget the purpose of his visit.
Hearing this, Si Jianhui was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly and said, "What kind of gift can he prepare for me!"
Having said that, Si Jianhui's eyes kept glancing towards Si Borong, and his hand on the crutch kept moving anxiously.
Si Borong is still addicted to his mobile phone.
Si Jianhui's face darkened a little, and he snorted again, with a hint of disappointment in his heart.
Lu Jingyi rolled his eyes and continued, "Really? At yesterday's charity auction, my dad spent 1 billion to buy a piece of rough sapphire. He said it was a gift for you, Grandpa, for your 80th birthday. It's spread all over the circle, and everyone is praising Dad for being filial and for having a good son!"
Lu Jingyi blew it randomly with his eyes closed. As long as he could achieve his goal, who cared about the process?
Hearing this, Si Borong's expression froze, and he finally raised his head from his phone, staring straight at Lu Jingyi with dark eyes.
Lu Jingyi looked up and met Si Borong's gaze, unafraid. He smiled brightly and continued:
"It's a nearly 300-carat sapphire of top-notch purity and clarity. I heard a wealthy man had his eye on it and wanted to bid for it, but when Dad said he wanted to give it to you, I reluctantly gave it up, fulfilling Dad's filial piety."
After these words were spoken, Si Borong's expression became even stiffer, and he pursed his thin lips.
Si Yiming also widened his eyes and stared at him in disbelief. When Si Boyong opened the jewelry store, he couldn't even take out 10 million, so where did he get 1 billion from!
Under the bombardment of Lu Jingyi's continuous sugar-coated bullets, Si Jianhui's tense expression finally relaxed. He glanced at Si Borong and snorted coldly, "Why give me a sapphire? I can't wear that thing."
Although he said this, there was a relieved smile in his eyes, and he was even a little impatient to see it.
However, Si Borong didn't have any sapphire. He had given it to Mu Baoer a long time ago, and Mu Baoer gave it to Si Lijue.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Jingyi can make a fuss about this.
Lu Jingyi said so much, how could Si Borong not know what he was planning? His eyelids drooped slightly, as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.
"You don't have to wear a sapphire, it's nice to have it as a decorative ornament."
Lu Jingyi, with a wicked look on his face, continued, "I heard Dad went to learn the craft from a master craftsman specifically for this, wanting to carve and polish it himself. Is that true, Dad?"
Si Borong thought of a countermeasure, but it was too late. Lu Jingyi directly cut off the source of his trouble. His serious expression made it sound like what he said.
Not only that, Si Jianhui's attention was also attracted, and his eyes fell on Si Borong, feeling a little expectant and a little relieved.
Seeing this, Si Borong fell silent.
Si Jianhui paused and asked, "Is what Jingyi said true?"
Si Borong hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Hmm..."
Si Jianhui's smile widened, and he said gently, "It's rare that you're so thoughtful. However, since it's such a rare sapphire, don't do it yourself. Leave it to the master to cut it, so as not to waste it."
Si Borong responded vaguely and looked at Lu Jingyi with a warning look in his eyes.
Lu Jingyi dared to pull out the hair from a tiger's mouth, but his heart was in turmoil. He lowered his head pretentiously, curled up into a ball, and looked like he had done something wrong.
After Si Jianhui noticed it, his eyebrows, which had been relaxed, instantly furrowed again and he scolded, "What's that expression you gave Jing Yi?"
Si Borong retracted his gaze and said indifferently, "Jing Yi exposed the surprise I carefully prepared. Isn't it natural for me to be angry with him?"
Lu Jingyi puffed out his cheeks, lowered his head and said sullenly, "I just heard it from others and wanted to verify it. I accidentally let it slip. Dad, don't be angry. And Grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ruin your surprise."
"It's not a big deal. You mean well. If I had to wait for your dad to tell me, I would have been waiting so long!" Si Borong comforted him, not minding at all.
Lu Jingyi laughed again, turning into a funny guy again, making Si Jianhui laugh non-stop.
Meanwhile, Si Borong's eyebrows were furrowed, and Si Yiming pouted, complaining, "Dad, you have enough money to buy such expensive gems, yet you still want me to sell my house. Isn't that really unfair? I sold my house at a low price just to make up for the loss."
Houses can maintain and appreciate their value, and his is a school district house. After a while, when the South City Experimental Class moves there, his house will definitely be worth more than double its current value.
Thinking that his house was only sold for more than 10 million, Si Yiming's heart was bleeding, and he became even more resentful towards Si Boyong. He obviously had money, but he was reluctant to give it to himself!
After all, he was his biological son, yet he could be so ruthless. Si Yiming gritted his teeth, feeling aggrieved and sour in his heart, and his mouth did not stop talking.
Si Borong was already upset about the sapphire incident, and Si Yiming kept nagging in his ear. His stern face hardened and he said coldly, "It was your idea to buy the jewelry store, and it was bought in your name. You don't pay for it, and you expect me to clean up your mess?"
Indeed, it was Si Yiming who said he wanted to start a small business and insisted on buying a jewelry store in the city center.
And his mother Song Xiao kept calling Si Borong to ask him to help. In order to appease Song Xiao and stop bothering her, Si Borong found a family for Si Yiming and symbolically put a few million into the money, which finally shut Song Xiao up.
Unexpectedly, Song Xiao stopped and Si Yiming started again.
Si Yiming was still dissatisfied at first, but when he saw Si Borong's bad face, he finally shut up after puffing up. However, his eyes kept staring at Lu Jingyi and Si Jianhui who were smiling happily opposite him, and he clenched his fists.
With Lu Jingyi around, he knew that he would not be able to get what he wanted today.
As both are descendants of the Si family, why is it that Lu Jingyi spends money like water yet has a bunch of people praising him behind the scenes?
He just wanted to open a shop and wanted Old Master Si to give him the set of palace jewelry he treasured as the store's treasure, but he was scolded.
Si Yiming felt even more depressed and clenched his teeth, wishing he could bite them to pieces.
However, no one would notice him.
Lu Jingyi came here according to the time. He had lunch with Si Jianhui, took a walk with him and played chess with him for a while. He didn't plan to leave until Butler Xu reminded Si Jianhui that it was time for lunch break.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, Si Borong called out to him, "Stop."
