Lu Jingyi paused, turned around leisurely, and asked expressionlessly, "What's the matter?"
Si Borong stood up, approached, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did Li Jue ask you to come?"
Although the words were questioning, the voice was firm.
"No." Lu Jingyi was silent for a moment, then raised his eyebrows in denial, saying, "I heard the news myself and wanted to share it with Grandpa. I just happened to see you here."
Si Borong chuckled softly and said with a smile, "Don't I understand you guys?"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Lu Jingyi's face instantly disappeared, and he asked expressionlessly: "Really? How well do you know him? On my birthday or something?"
"..." Si Borong was speechless for a moment, his expression unpredictable.
Lu Jingyi stared at him without blinking. The air around him instantly turned cold and the atmosphere became a little eerie.
In the end, it was Si Borong who first looked away, with his eyes slightly lowered and a cold expression, looking more like an elegant gentleman.
Seeing this, Lu Jingyi also retracted his gaze, took a few quick steps, jumped into his sports car, stepped on the accelerator, and the yellow LeBlanc rushed out of the villa's runway with a bang, leaving only a yellow afterimage.
The roar of the engine was almost inaudible. Si Borong then turned his head again and stared at the direction where Lu Jingyi left for a long time. There seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.
It wasn't until Si Yiming came out and stood behind him, nagging with an angry look on his face, that Si Borong came back to his senses.
"Dad, now not only Si Lijue dares to disrespect you, but Lu Jingyi also dares to show his disdain to you. Look at how he behaved just now, does he behave like a son at all?" Si Yiming said angrily.
In response, Si Borong simply glanced at him sideways and asked, "What is it like to be a son?"
Si Yiming twitched the corners of his mouth but didn't answer for a long time.
Si Borong didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "Go back. You'll have time to think about your jewelry store."
"But... Grandpa hasn't given me that set of imperial jewelry yet. Without a good piece to serve as the store's treasure, how can I attract customers?"
Si Yiming was unwilling to give in and urged, "Dad, please help me talk to Grandpa. I'm just putting it in the store to attract customers and I won't touch it. I'll protect it with the best security system. When my store's business picks up, I'll return it."
The set of palace jewelry collected by Si Jianhui is said to be the most treasured item of a concubine in the Tang Dynasty. From hairpins to anklets, the whole set is priceless and can be called a national treasure.
It is precisely because of this that Si Yiming set his sights on this.
Si Borong didn't say yes or no, but said, "If you want to, go ahead and say it yourself."
Si Yiming curled his lips and thought, if I could get it, would I still encourage you?
Si Yiming looked at him eagerly and called out in a long voice, "Dad..."
"Impossible, you'd better give up as soon as possible." Si Borong said, "I told you long ago that this thing was impossible, but you just refused to believe it and insisted on coming here. Now you see the result."
"That collection is the old man's most precious treasure, and he won't give it away easily. If you spend the time you want to take care of the old man, you might as well think about your own shop."
"People nowadays like jewelry for its personality and meaning. They don't want to just leave it there to sell the goods in the store. The target consumer group is different..."
Si Borong wanted to say something, but seeing that Si Yiming didn't listen at all and still looked so miserable, he suddenly paused and said, "Alright, go back. Old man, don't come here too often in the future."
"Dad, I..."
"Anything else?"
"No, no more."
Seeing Si Borong's indifferent expression, Si Yiming swallowed back what he wanted to say, said "oh", and followed Si Borong out of the Si residence.
Before leaving, he paused, turned his head to look at the magnificent building, and gritted his teeth.
…
After leaving Si's house, Si Borong was not idle either. He immediately called Song Nan and asked him about his date with a woman today.
After receiving the call, Song Nan was silent for a while, then said in a serious tone, "Mr. Si, I have something very unfortunate to tell you. All the bank cards in your name have been frozen, and the stocks you bought have been falling. Currently, your available savings are... zero."
In other words, this means that he can only eat vegetarian food recently.
In response to this, Si Borong looked calm and said "Oh".
“…”
Song Nan was confused and couldn't figure out what he meant for a moment, so he had to do what was usual.
…
MR Group, Secretariat.
As soon as Mu Baoer walked into the office, she heard a burst of chattering, and it seemed that everyone was quite excited.
Mu Baoer poked her head out and asked curiously, "What are you discussing? Is it someone's latest cosmetics release?"
The small meeting in the secretariat came to an abrupt end. Everyone turned their heads in unison, staring at Mu Baoer with burning eyes and meaningful expressions.
“…”
Being stared at by five pairs of sparkling eyes, Mu Baoer's scalp went numb. She even stepped back after entering the office and turned to run.
"Bao'er is here, hurry up and catch him."
However, before they could even turn around, they were brought in by Chen Qian and the others and were taken to the place where they had been standing in a row at the beginning.
Mu Baoer then noticed that what they were surrounding was a rose bear that was more than one meter tall and very eye-catching.
Looking at this bear, Mu Baoer started to frown. Si Borong was really haunting her!
However, the rose bear is not the focus at all. The focus is on the diamond crown on the bear's head. The 50-carat pink diamond in the middle is particularly dazzling and eye-catching, which makes people gasp.
Everyone pulled Mu Baoer over and asked curiously, "Baoer, who is the person pursuing you? He's so rich! Look at this big pink diamond, it's worth hundreds of millions, right?"
Before this, they had confirmed it with their colleagues at the jewelry company. The pink diamond was real!
Who is so generous? Why doesn’t Baoer agree to him?
Unlike their excitement, Mu Baoer held her forehead and said speechlessly: "A psychopath."
She could throw the flowers away, but how could she throw away the crown? Could she possibly send it back to Si Borong?
Mu Baoer was in trouble, and her small face, which was the size of a palm, wrinkled into a ball.
The people around sighed and started discussing the gift that suddenly appeared in the secretariat.
At some point, Si Lijue suddenly appeared in the secretariat. He looked at Mu Baoer, who was at the center of the conversation, his eyes deepened. He coughed lightly and walked over.
"President."
"President."
Hearing the noise, the women quieted down, said hello, and went back to their seats. They seemed to be working seriously, but in fact they were listening with their ears perked up.
Si Lijue's eyes flashed, and he walked up to Mu Baoer and stood side by side with her. He pursed his lips tightly for a few times and suddenly said, "Who gave you this gift? It's quite nice. It must be from someone with good taste."
