Chapter 43 Almsgiving
Ning Junzhe picked her up after get off work today.
Jiang Ning offered to treat Ning Junzhe to dinner after he helped her so much last night.
However, just as the car arrived at the mall, an unexpected situation arose at Ning Junzhe's company, requiring him to return and take charge.
Are you sure you'll be alright all by yourself?
On the roadside, Ning Junzhe asked Jiang Ning with reluctance.
Jiang Ning was both amused and exasperated.
"I'm not a child, and the shopping mall in City A isn't that dangerous."
Jiang Ning doesn't want to go home yet. Since she's already here, she'd like to go shopping occasionally.
Whenever Jiang Ning visits a high-end shopping mall, she can't help but stop by FY's counter to see how her jewelry designs look on display.
The piano series has now become FY's main product and representative element.
The black and white diamonds are cut using a patented technique to maximize their brilliance, and are further enhanced by an upgraded invisible setting technique, with prongs that are invisible to the naked eye, thus improving the overall aesthetic.
Jiangning has currently created five different designs for this series.
The staff, treble clef, eighth note, piano keys, and grand piano.
Among them, the "grand piano" is the most luxurious and expensive.
Set with 300 top-quality Botswana colorless diamonds and 700 top-quality Central African black diamonds, its unique design and dazzling brilliance caused a sensation in the jewelry industry and high society as soon as it was launched.
"Wow... is this the legendary Piano Queen pendant?"
Song Lili stood in front of the individual display case, her eyes practically glued to it.
"Yes, that's it."
Chu Qingxue stood beside her with a proud expression, as if she had designed the Piano Queen pendant.
"This is too gorgeous, I feel like my eyes are about to be blinded." Wang Yang covered his eyes, also marveling at the spectacle.
"Although I'm currently doing jewelry design at Lu's and am a competitor of FY, that's only in terms of the gold product line... When it comes to high-end diamond jewelry, no one can compare to FY right now!"
Hearing Chu Qingxue say this, Song Lili and Wang Yang couldn't help but sigh:
"FY is that amazing?"
"In the past, FY and KDY were on par in the world of high-end jewelry, but once FY launched its piano series, it immediately surpassed KDY in both sales and status."
"So, Qingxue, your teacher has done a great service!" Wang Yang nudged Chu Qingxue with his elbow, and the proud smile on her face widened.
"If someone could give me a necklace like this, I would marry him immediately."
Seeing Song Lili's blissful expression, Chu Qingxue explained, "This Piano Queen jewelry is different from other pieces in the piano series. Only FY's highest-level Black Diamond VIP clients are qualified to purchase it. Having money alone is not enough."
"So stop dreaming! Of the three of us, only Qingxue still has a chance," Wang Yang joked.
"By the way, Qingxue, haven't you always liked this Piano Queen pendant? Why didn't you ask President Lu to give it to you? It's not like he can't afford it."
"Well..."
Chu Qingxue caught a glimpse of Jiang Ning walking towards them out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Ning also came to see the piano queen's charm.
Although she did the design, the real thing is just as dazzling as the drawings.
She just didn't expect that she would run into Chu Qingxue and her group while shopping.
What was even more unexpected was that Chu Qingxue and the others were so fond of the jewelry she designed.
"Jiang Ning, what are you doing here?" Chu Qingxue spoke first, her tone questioning Jiang Ning's right to browse the jewelry counter.
Jiang Ning walked over confidently, smiled at Chu Qingxue, and said, "I'm here to buy jewelry."
Actually, she never intended to buy it.
"You? Can you afford it?" Wang Yang raised an eyebrow at her.
"Have you already forgotten about the three million you owed me last time?"
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's comment, Wang Yang's face immediately turned pale.
"You were trying to extort me that time!"
"Do you think someone with Lu Junyan's intelligence would obediently pay up after being extorted?"
Wang Yang fell silent.
Chu Qingxue frowned as she stood beside her.
She couldn't understand where Jiang Ning got so much money, with dresses worth millions and gifts worth hundreds of millions.
However, she wouldn't let Jiang Ning be so smug.
"I really envy you. You have to buy all your jewelry yourself. Unlike me, all my jewelry was given to me by Junyan... By the way, Jiang Ning, you've been doing laundry and cooking for Junyan for so many years, hasn't he ever given you a single piece of jewelry?"
Jiang Ning's originally upturned lips gradually drooped.
Lu Junyan had given her quite a few pieces of jewelry, but they were all pink diamonds—
It's what Chu Qingxue likes.
Seeing that Jiang Ning had lost his arrogance, Chu Qingxue smiled smugly.
"Jiang Ning, Junyan will be here soon. He and I agreed to come and pick out some jewelry for me. But I'm a generous person, so whatever you like, I'll have him send you a piece too."
As soon as Chu Qingxue said this, Song Lili and Wang Yang, who were standing next to her, immediately praised her for being kind, unlike someone else.
Jiang Ning turned to leave, and just then he came face to face with Lu Junyan.
Lu Junyan brushed past her as if he hadn't seen her, and walked straight up to Chu Qingxue.
The jewelry that Lu Junyan wanted to buy for Chu Qingxue was naturally the Piano Queen pendant.
Jiang Ning felt nauseous at the thought of his most popular design being worn around Chu Qingxue's neck.
"I'm sorry, sir, you are not a Black Diamond VIP of FY and are not qualified to purchase this piece of jewelry."
Lu Junyan was taken aback.
Chu Qingxue, Song Lili, and Wang Yang, who were standing next to her, all looked embarrassed.
Jiang Ning was already thinking of leaving, but seeing Chu Qingxue while shopping was unlucky, and seeing Lu Junyan and Chu Qingxue showing affection would only make her more unlucky.
However, upon hearing the shop assistant's words, she immediately turned around to watch the commotion.
Hearing Jiang Ning's clear laughter, Lu Junyan raised his eyelids, his eyes turning sinister.
"What are you laughing at? As if you can afford it." Wang Yang couldn't help but retort to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn't care whether she could afford it or not; she just wanted to mock Lu Junyan for not being able to buy it.
"I'm sorry, Junyan, it's my fault..."
Chu Qingxue took Lu Junyan's arm and sincerely apologized.
"It's alright, please choose another piece of jewelry!"
"Um."
Chu Qingxue obediently chose a pink diamond flower ring.
When Lu Junyan was paying the bill, he suddenly asked Jiang Ning a question:
"Do you want one? If you do, I can give you one."
Chu Qingxue's expression turned ugly for a moment, but she quickly regained her smile.
"Yes, Jiang Ning, is there anything you like? If you don't know how to choose, I can help you."
Watching Chu Qingxue and Lu Junyan sing in unison, Jiang Ning felt like a stray cat or dog waiting for charity on the roadside.
"No need, I've never liked pink diamonds."
When Lu Junyan heard Jiang Ning say that, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You were so touched you cried when I gave you a pink diamond ring before, aren't you? Now you're acting all high and mighty."
Lu Junyan's sarcasm stirred up memories buried deep in Jiang Ning's heart.
The time she was moved to tears was when Lu Junyan proposed to her with a pink diamond ring.
turn out to be……
Lu Junyan thought she was moved to tears because of the seven-carat pink diamond wedding ring.
