"Dating?"
"You're talking nonsense! Who's dating you? Zheng Yang! His mother and my mother are classmates. She just mentioned it briefly when we were having dinner together, and I didn't agree to it."
Seeing Nangong Xi's nervous expression was more convincing than any explanation.
I smiled at Nangong Xi: "Alright! Where's Engineer Ge? I brought you gifts."
"My mom and his mom went out."
So, they left the two of them behind? Was it intentional on the part of the two families to bring them together?
Sun Chaoqun was still glaring at me: "Who exactly are you?"
"Who I am is none of your business! Stay put or don't blame me for being impolite."
"you!"
I glared at Sun Chaoqun, and he shuddered.
I thought he was scared of me, which is why he reacted this way. Actually, it was the aura that the super-level 10 chip master gave me.
He is a veteran of countless battles, and even the blood of the core machine carries the might of a killing god.
I pulled Nangong Xi into the house right in front of him.
I put down the local specialties I brought for Engineer Ge, and then took out the jewelry I had chosen for Nangong Xi.
It comes in a cardboard box.
"I was in a hurry, so I just brought this."
As soon as I opened the box, Nangong Xi was overjoyed:
"So beautiful!" Nangong Xi reached out and touched the necklace. "Zheng Yang! Is this for me?"
"If I didn't give it to you, would I put it in front of you?"
Just as Nangong Xi was about to express her gratitude to me, Engineer Ge came in with a woman and Sun Chaoqun.
Nangong Xi was so frightened that she quickly stood up.
"Mom! Auntie! You're back!"
As soon as Ge Gong saw me, he quickly introduced me: "Old classmate! This is Zheng Yang! He is..."
Before Engineer Ge could finish his introduction, Sun Chaoqun's mother said, "Xiao Xi's friend is good-looking, but he's a bit stingy."
How could you give such beautiful girls like Xiaoxi these ornaments to wear?
Holy crap! I think I overlooked a detail: is it true that Nangong Xi didn't ask these questions?
Or perhaps Nangong Xi doesn't even need to ask; as long as it's a gift from me, she'll like it regardless of whether it's real or fake.
"Xiao Xi! Come and see the platinum necklace Auntie bought for you."
Sun Chaoqun's mother took out a delicate little box and took out a platinum necklace from it.
"I don't want it!" Nangong Xi picked up the gift I gave her and dodged away.
"Xiao Xi!"
Before Sun Chaoqun's mother could say anything more, Engineer Ge spoke up from the side:
"Old classmate! You don't know the relationship between Xiaoxi and Zheng Yang. They are very, very good friends."
Even if there's nothing in the box, Xiaoxi would still treasure it dearly if it were a gift from Zheng Yang.
Engineer Ge's words really made me proud and showed that she thinks highly of me.
Sun Chaoqun's mother: "Old classmate! Why can't you see clearly?"
Sending such junk shows they don't love Xiaoxi and are just trying to fool her.
Hey? My temper flared: "Madam! So, according to you, the more expensive the gift, the more it means you love a woman?"
"I don't know if a man who spends a lot of money on a woman loves her. But a man who is stingy when it comes to spending money on a woman definitely doesn't love her."
That's fucking like farting.
Is love measured in money?
According to her logic, poor guys don't deserve to date?
For a poor young man, a thousand yuan might be all he has.
For a rich person, spending 10,000 might just be a drop in the ocean.
Which one is more sincere towards this woman?
Of course, sincerity doesn't always guarantee true love.
"Really? So this platinum necklace represents Sun Chaoqun's love for Nangong Xi?"
"That's still better than trying to fool people with some broken glass."
"Old classmate!" Engineer Ge couldn't stand it anymore:
“I think Chaoqun and Xiaoxi are young people’s business, so it’s better to leave it to them.”
"How can this be? Children can sometimes be blinded by appearances and sweet talk."
As adults, we should help them steer the ship properly.
This person is talking as if I'm the only one with a crooked neck.
"Come on, Xiaoxi! It doesn't matter if you're with our Chaoqun or not. We'll take the necklace back; it's better than breaking that glass."
Sun Chaoqun's mother took the necklace and was about to put it on Nangong Xi.
Hearing what she said, Engineer Ge looked at the contents of the cardboard box and sighed, as if he was blaming me for giving something that was inferior to what I had given him.
How do you know these are shards of glass?
Sun Chaoqun's mother: "What? You still want to say that all this is true? So many gems, how much would they really cost?"
Damn! She can't afford it, so the one someone gave her must be fake?
I picked up the necklace: "You don't recognize the gemstones, but you surely recognize this gold chain?"
Actually, Sun Chaoqun's mother didn't really look at it properly. She came over and looked at it, then started scratching it with her fingernails.
"It won't fade!"
"Just because something doesn't fade doesn't mean it's gold. I have a friend who knows this. You wait and see, the fake can't become real."
She actually got someone to do the appraisal.
They arrived quickly and even brought professional identification tools.
"Wait until the professionals say it's fake, then I'll see if you're still pretending. If you don't have money, don't try to date and ruin a girl's life."
I didn't say anything, I just waited for the test results.
The appraisers were increasingly astonished as they examined the item: "No way? This size, this condition, it's amazing!"
Sun Chaoqun's mother: "What's so shocking? Tell me quickly, is this real or fake?"
The appraiser, holding the jewelry, was practically drooling, and kept his eyes glued to it as he spoke, as if afraid it might fly away.
"Not only is it real, but this necklace is also an antique, at least several thousand years old. The craftsmanship of this necklace could fetch an astronomical price at an auction."
