Chapter 363: Sky-high Price Pink Diamond! (Fourth Update)
Gong Qi: "Mr. Jiu had me buy the pink diamonds used in this set of jewelry at the Carl Auction in Country Y three days ago. Then he worked overtime to handcraft the finished product."
"Mr. Jiu said that this set of jewelry is called 'Life'."
"It means, you are his life."
The staff around couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
So sweet!
Such an affectionate and domineering confession, let alone a woman, even a man can’t bear it!
Ruan Qi couldn't bear it either.
Her little face couldn't help but turn red, but her heart was filled with endless joy.
The little girl reached out her hand and carefully touched the ring.
"How much does this set of jewelry cost?" she asked in a low voice.
Gong Qi was about to speak when Lin Yi, who was sitting next to him, held up his phone and slowly read out loud:
"On December 20th, the Y Country Carl Auction came to a close. A mysterious tycoon from China bought the auction's top-scoring pink diamond for a whopping 240 million..."
Everyone: “!!!!!!”
Two hundred million?!
Tens, hundreds, millions, tens of thousands, millions, trillions, and billions!!
Two hundred million!!!
The entertainment industry has always been a place of high consumption. It is common for celebrities to spend tens of millions on luxury homes and sports cars.
But no matter how common it is, no one has ever seen such a scene!
Everyone was dizzy from the 200 million, and Ruan Qi was also shocked.
"Why so much money?"
The little girl's eyes were wide open, like a frightened kitten.
She looked at the pink diamond jewelry in her arms and felt that it was not good to accept such an expensive gift from Xi Jiu, but she was reluctant to return it.
The little girl hesitated for a long time and then waved towards Gongqi.
"Butler Gong," she whispered in his ear, "this jewelry is a bit expensive. I don't have that much money right now. Give me your Jiujiu bank account number and I'll have my brother transfer 100 million."
Gong Qi: "...Why do you want to transfer 100 million to the Patriarch?"
"Let's split the bill!" The girl's beautiful peach blossom eyes were clear and bright, and a bit worried. "The jewelry is so expensive, I can't let Jiujiu spend it all by himself. What if he runs out of money?"
"..." The palace steward, who was extremely professional, twitched his mouth fiercely.
"Miss Ruan," he tried to maintain a decent smile, "the master of the family is not short of money."
Ruan Qi: "Really?"
"Really." Butler Gong nodded very vigorously, wanting to swear to the heavens.
The little girl breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay then." She closed the jewelry box. "Then I won't go AA with Jiujiu. If he runs out of money in the future, I'll support him."
Gong Qi: “…”
Girl, you have such a big dream.
The exhausted housekeeper rubbed his forehead and stood up from the ground.
He turned to look at Dong Qicheng standing beside him, and said with a calm smile, "Is this gentleman also here to give Miss Ruan flowers?"
This sentence successfully turned everyone's attention back to Dong Qicheng.
Gong Qi glanced at the rose and diamond ring in his hand and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"There's only one 'Goddess' diamond ring from the Barry family in China, and it's worth 15 million." He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled, "This gentleman is truly wealthy."
Everyone: “…”
Please speak with conscience.
Dong Qicheng's face turned black due to Gong Qi's ironic compliment.
He glanced at the jewelry box in Ruan Qi's arms and laughed coldly.
"No wonder Miss Ruan looked down on the gift I gave her. It turns out she's hooked up with a bigger money man."
In the entertainment industry, the most taboo things are words like "hidden rules" and "keeping a mistress".
Once this kind of accusation is put on Ruan Qi, her reputation will be ruined.
Shen Wenqian's expression suddenly turned cold.
He took a step forward and was about to speak, but Ruan Qi beat him to the punch.
"I just don't like your gift."
The girl looked at Dong Qicheng and said, "If I don't like someone, I won't look down on him even if you give me a mountain of gold."
"If the person I like gives me a pile of stones instead of pink diamonds, I will treasure it as if it were gold."
"So, please don't slander me, Mr. Dong."
As she spoke, the little girl tilted her head and said with a smile, "After all, you can't afford to offend the person who can afford to give me a pink diamond!~"
A low, joyful laugh sounded from Gong Qi's Bluetooth headset.
Gong Qi took out the cell phone that had been on the line from his trouser pocket.
"Master," he smiled at the man on the other end of the phone, "the lady likes your gift very much."
"Find someone to keep an eye on Dong Qicheng." Xi Jiu's voice turned cold. "If there's any unusual movement, notify me immediately."
Gong Qi responded, hung up the phone, and looked up at Dong Qicheng, who was almost mad at the little girl.
"Great! Miss Ruan is really sharp-tongued!" Dong Qicheng sneered angrily, "I just don't know how long your sponsor can maintain his interest in you!"
After saying that, he threw the roses in his hand hard, and the bouquet fell right at Ruan Qi's feet.
Dong Qicheng snorted coldly and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Mo Lan looked at the little girl's calf that was hit, and with a cold face, he raised his foot to chase her.
"Sister Lan, stop chasing me." The little girl shouted.
She looked at Dong Qicheng's angry back and curled her lips with a smile: "He will have a bloody disaster tomorrow anyway, why should we worry about him?"
…
Dong Qicheng was angered by Ruan Qi and left, and the crew returned to peace.
Lin immediately issued a gag order regarding the morning's incident, but rumors still surfaced a few days later, as people were often gossipy.
However, there is no evidence to support the rumors, and there are so many rumors in the entertainment industry that everyone just laughs them off.
For the next half month, Ruan Qi stayed in the crew.
Because she was recovering from an injury, she had too many scenes to play, and she has been working non-stop these days.
Although the little girl was energetic, she couldn't stand such hard work and became so tired that she lost a lot of weight.
There were even a few times when I fell asleep while video chatting with Xi Jiu.
Seeing the little girl getting thinner and thinner, Xi Jiu felt so distressed.
He simply sent the chef from the Xi family over to make different kinds of delicious food for Ruan Qi every day.
However, the girl who was busy filming did not gain weight.
On the contrary, Shen Wenqian eats at least four meals a day, and he has become fatter.
"Ruan Xiaoqi, can you talk to Mr. Xi's chef and ask him not to include my portion in his cooking in the future?"
Shen Wenqian touched the flesh on his belly.
"Do you know what your fans call me?" He was about to cry, "They call me the fat Fifth Prince!"
The little girl who was drinking yogurt almost choked from laughing.
Just then, the phone on the table suddenly rang.
The little girl picked up her phone while laughing.
She glanced at the caller ID, quickly pressed the answer button, and said sweetly: "Sister Chen Shi!~"
"Xiao Qi," Shen Shi's gentle voice came from the receiver, "Qingshi Entertainment is going to produce a music program. How about you be a judge?"
