Chapter 961: Star of Africa, King of Diamonds
Therefore, their worries may be unnecessary.
At 7:20, Gu Man finished her makeup and changed into her wedding dress. However, since no one from the Tang family had come yet, Gu Man had to stay in the bedroom.
Gu Ning took Leng Shaoting to meet Gu Man, and Leng Shaoting blessed her: "Aunt Gu, I wish you a happy wedding. This is a wedding gift for you, I hope you like it."
As he spoke, Leng Shaoting handed the paper bag to Gu Man.
"I like it. It's a gift from you, of course I like it. Thank you, Shao Ting." Gu Man accepted it happily. She knew that the gift must be very valuable, but since it was a wedding gift and represented a blessing of happiness, she had to accept it.
Moreover, Leng Shaoting is Gu Ning's boyfriend. If he refuses to accept it because it is too expensive, it will only embarrass him.
"Mom, open it and see what it is?" Gu Ning asked curiously. She did not use X-ray vision to see because that would seem disrespectful to the gift.
"Okay." Gu Man was a little embarrassed to open it in front of Leng Shaoting, but since Gu Ning asked her to, she opened it.
Inside the box was a necklace with a boat-tip pendant weighing about ten carats.
"How beautiful!" Gu Ning couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Although Gu Ning didn't know what kind of diamond this was, it looked much more beautiful than ordinary diamonds.
"Yes! It's so beautiful!" Gu Man fell in love with it as soon as she saw it.
"What kind of diamond is this! It looks different from ordinary diamonds." Gu Ning asked.
"The Star of Africa, the King of Diamonds." Leng Shaoting said.
The Star of Africa, the King of Diamonds? Although Gu Ning didn't recognize it, he had heard of it. Not only is it rare, but it's also extremely expensive, costing five or six million per carat! So this one, which looks like it weighs ten carats, would only cost fifty or sixty million, and that's just the price of the raw material itself.
Such a precious diamond must have been made by a famous craftsman, and the labor cost must have been tens of millions. So this pendant must be worth at least 70 million.
“It’s very expensive!”
Although Gu Man didn't know what the Star of Africa was, the name Diamond King was something very important.
Leng Shaoting didn't intend to tell Gu Ning the price, but she did, because she wanted to establish a better image of Leng Shaoting in Gu Man's mind: "Of course, the Star of Africa costs five or six million per carat, and this one looks like it should be around ten carats, so it should be at least sixty-seven million, and this is still a conservative price! Such a precious diamond must have been made by a famous craftsman, plus it has a history, at the very least, this diamond should be around seventy million or more."
"What? This pendant costs 70 million. This, this is too expensive!" Gu Man was shocked. She knew that the thing Leng Shaoting gave must be very valuable, but she never thought it would exceed 10 million. But she never expected it to be as high as 70 million.
"It's not expensive. What matters most is that you like it." Leng Shaoting said immediately, with a sincere look on his face, as if he was afraid that Gu Man would not accept it.
Yes, 70 million is nothing to him. The most important thing is that Gu Man likes him.
"I like it, of course I like it." How could Gu Man not like it! She liked this beautiful diamond and Leng Shaoting's kindness, but it was too valuable, so she felt a little reluctant to hold it, afraid of breaking it or losing it.
She knew that if she returned it because it was too expensive, it would hurt Leng Shaoting's feelings, so she suppressed the thought as soon as it came to her mind.
"Thank you, Shao Ting." Gu Man thanked him.
"You're welcome," Leng Shaoting said.
At half past seven, Hao Ran and his group arrived and went straight to look for Gu Ning.
Hearing their voices, Gu Ning went downstairs and asked Gu Qing and Wen Yulan to talk to Gu Man to prevent her from being bored and to distract her so that she wouldn't be nervous.
At the Tang family's side, because they were afraid of traffic jams on the ceremony road, the wedding procession set out early.
The convoy of twelve luxury cars worth tens of millions attracted everyone's attention as soon as they set off, stunning everyone.
Although this is not the most luxurious wedding convoy, there are many convoys that use tens of millions of luxury cars, because nowadays people with a little money like to show off, and besides, it doesn’t cost much to rent a convoy, just tens of thousands of dollars.
But even if there are quite a few, not everyone can see them every time. Those who have seen them won’t think they are too strange, and those who haven’t seen them will naturally find them very strange.
Although Tang Yunfan wanted to give Gu Man a grand wedding, Gu Man always emphasized that everything should be kept simple, so they have tried to keep it as simple as possible.
Although it was Gu Man's first marriage and she dreamed of a romantic and grand wedding, she was not young anymore, so she also had her own embarrassment.
Moreover, they are getting married, so it’s enough for them to be happy. There is no need to compare or pretend.
Besides, the Tang family could hold any kind of lavish wedding! It was just that Gu Man felt that it was unnecessary.
It was simple for him, but extremely luxurious for outsiders, because Tang Yunfan didn't want Gu Man to suffer any grievances, and didn't want there to be any gossip about her outside, saying that the wedding was not grand and was not taken seriously.
Tang Yunfan was so excited that he didn't sleep well the whole night. When he woke up in the morning, his face was still a little haggard, but he was in high spirits and felt very refreshed.
At 7:50, the Tang family's wedding procession arrived.
The people who came were the groom Tang Yunfan, Tang Yunhang, Cao Ruihua, Cao Wenjun, and the brothers Tang Jiayang and Tang Jiakai. The others were all friends, and they were all men, because men have always been the ones to welcome the bride.
Jiang Lihua and other female relatives stayed at home to do the welcoming work, because not everything could be delegated to others, and Cao Wenxin was also at the Tang family.
Because Xing Bei and Cao Wenxin are still just a couple, they are still guests, so they will not appear anywhere in the morning, and will only appear in the afternoon when they go to the hotel banquet.
As the elder, Tang Haifeng naturally couldn't come, so he just waited for the newlyweds to go back and offer him tea.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the Tang family’s convoy.
The Tang family is really rich! The people who came to pick up the bride all drove luxury cars! However, they had long known that the Tang family was rich, so after being surprised, they quickly accepted and digested it.
"Hey! Why do I feel that this groom looks familiar?" When An Yi saw Tang Yunfan, he felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember why he looked familiar.
After hearing this, Hao Ran and the others also looked at Tang Yunfan carefully. Soon, Chu Peihan came to the conclusion: "The groom looks quite similar to our boss, so he will naturally feel familiar."
After hearing this, everyone understood. An Yi vaguely felt that this was not the case, but he couldn't figure out what it was, so he agreed with Chu Peihan's statement.
