Chapter 40 It Doesn't Matter Anymore
Jiang Ranxing simply hummed in response and didn't say anything else.
At this point, she had nothing more to say.
At this moment, Fu Xingyi looked at Lin Xuesha and said, "Aunt Xuesha, you changed your dress! This dress is especially beautiful!"
Lin Xuesha said, "Yes, it's to match the diamond jewelry set your father gave me. Does it look good?"
Fu Xingyi nodded vigorously, her small face twitching between Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha.
"Of course it looks beautiful, Aunt Xue Sha! Aunt Xue Sha is beautiful, her dress is beautiful, and the diamond jewelry that Dad gave Aunt Xue Sha is beautiful too. It's absolutely perfect!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ranxing raised his gaze and looked at Lin Xuesha, who was wearing a complete set of diamond jewelry, looking extremely luxurious.
But this set of diamond jewelry... Jiang Ranxing's heart temperature plummeted.
Isn't this the diamond jewelry set she contacted the jeweler before the competition, saying she wanted to match Xu Qingci's outfit?
She still remembered what the jeweler she knew had said back then.
"Ember, don't worry. Now that you've asked, I'll definitely get you this jewelry set. We're good friends with that jewelry designer, and she'll definitely be willing to give it to you once she hears you want it. Just leave it to me!"
Jiang Ranxing originally intended to use this gorgeous diamond necklace to cover up the wound on Xu Qingci's neck.
But to her surprise, the jeweler called her again just two days later, this time sounding much more downcast.
"I'm so sorry, Ember, we can't get that set of diamond jewelry. I'm really sorry."
Jiang Ranxing immediately asked in confusion, "Why? It shouldn't be like this. Why was it lent out so quickly?"
This set of diamond jewelry belongs to the top-tier level of jewelry, not to mention that ordinary people simply cannot borrow it.
First, you must have enough influence to get the designer to agree.
Secondly, even if the designer agrees to lend the jewelry, you still need to have the corresponding financial resources to pay for it, as the lending fees for top-tier jewelry are staggering.
Another thing is, who would happen to have their eye on the same set of jewelry as her at this particular time?
Is it really such a coincidence?
Jiang Ranxing couldn't think clearly at the time.
The jeweler on the other end of the phone said with great difficulty, "It wasn't borrowed, Ember. You might not believe it even if I told you. Someone offered to buy it!"
Jiang Ranxing could hardly believe it: "Buy it?"
The jeweler said, "Absolutely! If someone actually dared to spend that much money to buy it, this set of jewelry would cost at least a hundred million. How many people in the world could just buy it like that? It's unbelievable. I didn't even ask them about the exact price; it was too disappointing!"
Jiang Ranxing was speechless for a long time, and in the end, he could only bid farewell to the jewelry set with no other choice.
The jeweler then said, "Don't be discouraged. I'll pick out another set of jewelry for you. It'll definitely be just as good as this one, so don't worry."
Jiang Ranxing could only thank him and hang up the phone.
Unexpectedly, this set of diamond jewelry, which had been bought by someone unknown, ended up on Lin Xuesha's body.
Fu Xingyi then said that Fu Shenyuan bought it.
Jiang Ranxing felt a dull ache in her heart.
Fu Shenyuan is truly willing to spend money and make sacrifices for Lin Xuesha.
She used the phrase "enemies meet on a narrow road" to describe the relationship between the three of them more than once, and in fact, it always has been like that.
Even when they had no vested interests, they could still meet in this way.
Whether it was fate or just bad luck, Jiang Ranxing himself couldn't say for sure.
However, Fu Shenyuan was truly willing to go to great lengths for Lin Xuesha, just to win a smile from the beauty.
Jiang Ranxing slowly felt a growing bitterness spreading through her heart.
She couldn't help but think about her past. What made her so certain that Fu Shenyuan would never love someone?
In fact, when Fu Shenyuan falls in love, it seems to be more innate than anyone else in the world, and it makes people more intoxicated by it.
When Fu Shenyuan loves someone, he will cherish and protect her.
It all depends on who he is facing.
When facing her, Fu Shenyuan didn't want to say a single word.
When facing Lin Xuesha, Fu Shenyuan was willing to spend a fortune to make her happy.
Jiang Ranxing didn't know who to reason with for a moment.
Jiang Ranxing looked up at Fu Shenyuan's expression.
Fu Shenyuan's gaze was entirely fixed on Lin Xuesha, his expression full of tenderness and affection, as if he didn't care about the person beside him at all.
He didn't care about Jiang Ranxing in front of him.
Fu Shenyuan said, "Xue Sha, let's go, the party is about to start."
"Okay, let's go."
Lin Xuesha replied.
Lin Xuesha took Fu Shenyuan's arm, and the two walked towards the restaurant.
Looking at the two figures from behind, Jiang Ranxing surprisingly didn't feel the intense heartache she usually did.
It doesn't matter anymore.
At that moment, she had only one clear thought: to sever all ties with these two people as soon as possible.
Whether they will be happy in the future is no longer within her concern.
From now on, let's keep our bridges and roads separate.
Jiang Ranxing turned her gaze away and asked Fu Xingyi in a low voice.
"Yiyi, do you want to come over too? Mom isn't feeling well and would like to sit here for a bit."
Fu Xingyi wanted to follow, but when he heard Jiang Ranxing say she wasn't feeling well, he felt embarrassed to just leave his mother behind.
"Mom, where do you feel unwell? Let me come sit with you."
This was the first time Fu Xingyi had shown genuine concern for him.
Jiang Ranxing was somewhat relieved and satisfied: "Mom is fine. It's probably because she didn't eat anything. She'll be fine after sitting for a while. Yiyi, don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xingyi immediately said, "Then I'll go get some food for Mom."
Jiang Ranxing nodded: "Okay, then Yiyi, be careful when you take things."
"Okay, I'll go get it for Mom."
Fu Xingyi turned around and walked towards the restaurant's dining area, led by the waiter.
Jiang Ranxing reached out and touched his chest; the nausea hadn't subsided.
Perhaps she was too tired, Jiang Ranxing thought. The preliminary rounds had just ended, and if she wasn't too busy during this period, she should take a rest.
Jiang Ranxing walked to the sofa in the corner by the window and sat down, looking at the scenery outside.
"Mrs. Fu, are you still feeling unwell?" Wen Qingrang also came over and pointed to the center of the restaurant.
"Shen Yuan really put a lot of thought into preparing Xue Sha."
The celebration party had officially begun, and many other people had arrived at the restaurant.
A professional performing group also joined in, and their melodious music added a romantic atmosphere to the entire restaurant.
Lin Xuesha stood in the center of the restaurant, like a princess who had stepped out of a fairy tale, receiving everyone's blessings and congratulations.
"Isn't the snow-white fabric really beautiful?" Wen Qingrang couldn't help but say.
Jiang Ranxing nodded blankly: "Beauty built with money has always been like this; anyone with money can achieve it."
She did not believe that such beauty could last forever.
Jiang Ranxing was still not feeling well. A waiter passed by with champagne, and she reached out to pick up a glass.
Wen Qingrang gently blocked Jiang Ranxing with her hand, and waved to the waiter at the same time.
The waiter nodded and left.
Jiang Ranxing looked at Wen Qingrang with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding what he meant.
