Chapter 248 Diamond Scam
"Dudu, don't scare grandma!"
Zhou's mother was so scared that she almost sent him to the hospital. Fortunately, he woke up in the end, but he was crying loudly. Zhou Xingshi had no choice but to let Chen You go to school first and he stayed at home to accompany her.
"Don't cry, Dudu. Dad is here. You are a chubby boy, why are you crying so unmanly? Mom and dad are going to school, they don't abandon you!"
Zhou Xingshi patted him on the back and criticized him with regret.
But no matter what, at least the dad stayed. He was barely satisfied with the dad holding and coaxing little Dudu. With two strings of tears hanging on his eyelashes, he fell asleep sobbing.
"Or I'll just drop out of school."
Zhou Xingshi couldn't help but say to his mother.
He always passed the exams with low scores, barely passing, and if he missed by two points, he would have to retake the exam. He really had no talent for studying and didn't like going to school. Now this was a ready-made excuse, so he might as well drop out of school and come back to take care of the kids.
"No, that won't work. I worked so hard to get in, how can I not go? Besides, have you told Youyou? Does Youyou agree? If she beats you up, I won't help you."
"Also, even if you drop out of school and come back, you can't always take care of the child. Don't you have to work at the Public Security Bureau? You are still young, how can you not pursue a career?"
Zhou's mother could never accept this, but she also couldn't bear to see her eldest grandson cry like he did today.
I don’t know if all children have special abilities, or some special way to sense when their parents leave. Normally, it’s nothing for Zhou Xingshi and Shen You to go out, but today they cried their hearts out.
"Well, when you leave this afternoon, if Dudu cries like this again, I will take him to live near the school. We have boys in our family, and they are strong, so it's better for him to bear the cold than to cry like this."
Zhou's mother proposed a solution, but she couldn't bear to see her grandson cry, so she had no choice but to do this.
"All right."
It can be considered the best solution. As for the hardships that adults have to endure, Zhou Xingshi has nothing to object to.
Fortunately, when Dudu woke up in the afternoon, Gao Shuang brought Zhaozhao over and let the two children play. With the company of other children, Dudu finally stopped crying.
“Ah~~~”
He stretched out his chubby little hands to grab Zhao Zhao and seemed very curious about him.
It was not the first time that Zhao Zhao saw him, so she was not curious at all. She yawned delicately and let him poke her little face as he pleased without crying or making a fuss.
Zhou's mother was envious.
"Zhao Zhao is still well-behaved. Look, he doesn't cry or make a fuss. Dudu is tough and likes to make trouble. If he can't see anyone for a second, he will start howling."
Very clingy.
"Boys are all like this. You can't beat them now because they are too young. Wait for a few years until they start elementary school. If they are still like this, you can beat them without any worries."
Gao Shuang had a lot of experience with this. Even someone as cool and smart as Quan Ruifeng had been beaten for being disobedient when he was a child, not to mention Zhou Xingshi, who really grew up under the stick.
"Dudu looks like Xingshi. It would be better if he looked like Youyou. Youyou was as well behaved as Zhaozhao when he was little. If he looks like Xingshi when he grows up, he will really get beaten."
The two of them talked about children, gossip and work, so it wasn't boring at all. They always had a companion in everything they did. It was also a good thing that Xia Xian and Shen You had their children one after the other.
At school, everyone was very excited about the start of the new semester. Yao Runfei couldn't wait to find Xia Xian as soon as the get out of class was over.
"Let me tell you something."
"What?"
Xia Xian listened attentively and realized that she had become good friends with Yao Runfei. The two of them no longer had the tit-for-tat relationship as before.
"Shh, come out and say it before anyone hears you!"
Yao Runfei mysteriously pulled Xia Xian out of the classroom, and when they were in a deserted place, he secretly took out something.
"ring?"
"It's a diamond ring! This is different. Diamonds are very popular abroad and very expensive!"
"When I came to school today, I bumped into someone on the road. When I helped him up, I saw this diamond ring lying on the ground. He said it was his, but I broke it, so he asked me to pay for it."
"I saw that there was some damage, just a little dirt on it, so I asked him how much he wanted to pay?"
"He said he was a germaphobe and couldn't accept the things he wore being stained with dirt or dust, so he didn't want this anymore and decided to sell it to me. He used the money to buy a new one, but do you know how much he wanted?"
Yao Runfei asked excitedly, wanting Xia Xian to cooperate.
Xia Xian asked without disappointing anyone.
"How much?"
"Only one thousand dollars! Look how big this diamond is! I'm definitely making a killing! He doesn't even understand the value of this ring!"
"I said I didn't have that much money on me, only about 200 yuan, which I was going to use to pay for tuition and dormitory fees. Otherwise, I wouldn't normally carry so much money with me when I go out."
"I didn't want to take advantage of him, so I offered to pay him 20 yuan and asked him to take the ring to someone else to clean it, so that it would be no different from a new one and it wouldn't prevent him from wearing it. But he didn't want to, and said he was in a hurry. In the end, he only asked me for more than 200 yuan, and the ring was left to me!"
"Don't you think I've made a fortune? Even if this ring is only worth 1,000 yuan, I've made 800 yuan! It's so shiny and beautiful when I wear it! Come and try it! It's a pity that my wrist is too small, and it's a little loose on these two fingers. If I lose it, I'll be heartbroken, but it won't look good on other fingers."
Yao Runfei's face was full of excitement, and she really wanted to make friends with him first, so she immediately shared this good news with Xia Xian and even gave the ring to her to try on.
Xia Xian started frowning as soon as the word "ring" appeared. Why did it feel so much like a scam?
The more she listened, the more it sounded like it, especially since she said she disliked the ring and was in a hurry to leave. She originally wanted more than 1,000 yuan for the item, but in the end she only gave 200 yuan to Yao Runfei, even after she offered to pay for the cleaning fee. This bag was a scam!
If this diamond is real, Xia Xian will eat it!
But seeing how excited she was, Xia Xian didn't know where to start. If she exposed the scam directly, she didn't know whether he would believe it or get angry. Xia Xian could only follow her wishes and stretched out her hand to try on the ring.
"Yeah, that's perfect! This wristband is great on you. It'll look great on you! How about I lend it to you for a few days? Take it back and show it to Quan Ruifeng, and ask him to buy you one too!"
Yao Runfei was so generous that she was willing to lend this thing to Xia Xian even though she hadn't even warmed up to it yet. So after Xia Xian used it, it would become second-hand, right?
Xia Xian was very grateful for her kindness, so she couldn't just watch her being fooled!
She worded her sentences and finally started to show off her acting skills.
She exclaimed, pointing somewhere.
