Chapter 572: Winning
Emerald is the most precious variety of emerald and is one of the four internationally recognized gemstones, the others being ruby, sapphire and diamond.
It is not the same as jade.
In Hong Kong Island, we naturally need to connect with the international market, so gemstones are very popular in the jewelry industry.
The appearance of this emerald naturally caused a sensation.
The color of this emerald is very pure, and it looks like a high-quality gemstone. The cutting and workmanship are also very fine. Once it appeared on the stage and was illuminated by the spotlight, it looked even more dreamy and beautiful. Even Shen Aoer looked a lot more noble.
Others were talking about it. "Look at the color. It's really beautiful and extremely pure. It's a top-grade emerald. I didn't expect Shengshi to bring out such high-quality jewelry. It seems that they are determined to get it."
"That's right. Look, Mrs. Shen, who usually doesn't show up, is here. Isn't this because she came prepared to build momentum for her granddaughter?"
"In the past, it seemed that the old lady didn't favor anyone. Whether the second wife's children got married or joined the company, the old lady didn't make any special comments. The same was true for the other wives. Now it seems that the third wife has taken the lead. The second wife never fought for it. Even though she had sons and daughters, she didn't take good care of them. Now she is lagging behind the third wife, isn't she?"
"I also heard that the eldest son of the third wife is now engaged in real estate in the mainland. I guess he is going to enter the mainland. If it weren't for the approval of the old lady, who would dare to do it so ostentatiously? Now that Shen Ao'er has started to take charge of Shengshi, the third wife is now the only one in power."
As for the four bedrooms, that is not within the scope of discussion for others.
She came in a few years ago, and people outside gave face to the Shen family, so they called her the Fourth Madam. In fact, they were not protected by the law, and the child she gave birth to was only a few-year-old daughter. Everyone knew that the Fourth Madam wanted to have a son, but it was not that easy. Shen Jingtong was already over sixty years old.
For a while, the wealthy people who thought they had seen the direction of the wind started to pursue this emerald in order to make a good impression in front of the third wife.
The scene was unprecedentedly lively.
Regarding this.
Shen Aoer was particularly proud.
She raised her chin like a proud swan.
Seeing this.
Xie Wenluan's brows were tightly furrowed. It was not uncommon for emeralds to be found in Baxi, but it was a bit difficult to find one with such good craftsmanship and quality.
No wonder Xie Wenbo is so confident, it’s because he has a good gem in his hands.
It looks like we are really going to lose.
If the jewelry exhibition cannot stand out, this wave of popularity will not be enough. Even if Baxixi’s subsequent reforms can change Baxixi’s jewelry business, it will be far beyond the reach of Shengshi.
His competitors are Shengshi and Xie Wenbo!
Xie Wenbo was pleased, but Xie Wenluan felt worse than if he had eaten a fly.
Thinking so.
Xie Wenbai's annoying voice came, "Ah Lun, you still have time to take the lady next to you and go apologize to Ao'er. Since we both have the surname Xie, I will advise Ao'er not to kill Baxi. After all, Baxi is from your mother's family. If your mother knew that Baxi disappeared and was bought by Shengshi because of you, she would not be able to rest in peace."
His tone was very sinister, making people feel disgusted.
For Xie Wenlun, his dead mother was his thorn in the flesh. Now that he said this, it was like stabbing a knife into his flesh.
His face suddenly changed.
Seeing that Xie Wenlun was not calm, Zhu Suisui immediately stepped forward to stop him.
Xie Wenlun's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and only when she looked at Zhu Suisui did she barely control her emotions.
Zhu Suisui can understand Xie Wenluan. If she were Xie Wenluan, she would also lose her rationality when someone talked about her mother.
But this is an exhibition, so we have to be rational.
Zhu Suisui held him down and glanced at Xie Wenbo calmly, "I don't know what the situation is in Hong Kong Island. In our mainland, illegitimate children cannot be served at the table. Even in the old society, the son of a concubine had to be respectful when meeting the original wife's family in order to have a bite of food. I originally thought that people in Hong Kong Island understood this very well, but now it seems that I was mistaken."
Seeing that Xie Wenluan was about to be angered by him, Zhu Suisui held him down unexpectedly, and Xie Wenluan actually managed to control himself.
This already made Xie Wenbo a little unhappy, and now when he heard Zhu Suisui bring up the fact that his mother was a mistress, Xie Wenbo's face darkened, but after a while, he smiled sinisterly again.
"You are just being stubborn now. I know you are not convinced, but there is nothing I can do. This society is all about the survival of the fittest. Xie Wenlun, you think you can compete with me by relying on your mother's family, but you don't know that the Shen family is standing behind me. You look down on me for being servile, but you don't know that if I don't fight, I will get nothing. I have no choice in where I was born, but we are both children of the Xie family. Why can you and your father have it, but I and my mother can't have it?"
"You can be arrogant. History will only be written by the victors. When I win, no one will judge the hero's origin. My next generation will thank me for this, but your next generation will start to decline from you. This will be your end."
Xie Wenbo's words directly broke the relationship.
However, there is no need for any kind of friendship between them. At most, they can show it in front of Xie's family. Why should they be hypocritical in private?
Xie Wenbo has already determined that he will win, and Xie Wenlun's biggest mistake was to cooperate with Zhu Suisui.
Of course, this is a good thing for Xie Wenbo. After all, only if Xie Wenlun makes a mistake can he maximize his interests, right?
Looking at Xie Wenbai's appearance, Xie Wenlun naturally would not support his ambitions and destroy his own prestige.
As long as his mother was not mentioned, Xie Wenlun would be able to regain his sanity. Looking at Xie Wenbo's expression, he just smiled contemptuously, "If a person does not even have the most basic integrity, then he is destined not to be a hero. So Xie Wenbo, you will not be a hero. When you choose to be a dog, you will be a dog for the rest of your life."
Xie Wenbai's eyes were sinister. "Whatever you say, you won't be able to laugh for much longer. Even the entire Xie family can't compare to the Shen family. Do you think you can bring down the Shen family by your own strength? It's ridiculous."
"The Shen family is powerful, but what does that have to do with you?" Xie Wenlun never suffered a loss when talking. He sneered, "Besides, you are just one of the many people in the Shen family. They may not think highly of you, but they just think you are quite interesting. You can wag your tail if you throw a piece of meat bone to you. If it were me, I would also be willing to spend a little money to play with you."
Xie Wenbai is able to keep his composure after all.
Xie Wenluan said so, but he didn't get angry. Someone happened to be bidding at that moment, and the price quickly exceeded 8 million Hong Kong dollars and reached 10 million.
He listened to this and laughed softly, "Did you hear that? Ten million Hong Kong dollars, and you're still bidding. I want to see if you can go higher than this price when the time comes."
Xie Wenlun was too lazy to pay attention to him.
After everyone left, Zhu Suisui glanced at him and saw that he had a blank expression on his face and didn't seem to care, so he asked in a low voice, "You seemed quite nervous before, but now you seem to be confident. It seems that you are quite confident in me."
Hearing this.
Xie Wenlun's eyes suddenly turned resentful. "You heard what Xie Wenbo said about me. I definitely can't let him see my clues. If he knows that I'm panicking, wouldn't that make him even more proud? Don't talk about me, but you. Do you have any idea? Didn't you say that you would have an idea after the exhibits of Shengshi come out? Look, it's been auctioned for 12 million now!"
There is definitely some water in this jewelry. Many people bid for it, not because the jewelry is worth the price, but as a token of their loyalty to the third wife.
Xie Wenlun asked himself, his connections are no match for the Shen family, and now they are a bit shabby.
What can I do?
What else can I do except trust Zhu Suisui?
Seeing him like this, Zhu Suisui couldn't help but laugh, "I really thought you were calm, it seems I overestimated you, but now I do have confidence, we will definitely win."
Xie Wenlun: “Ah?”
He was really anxious at this moment, "What does this mean? Tell me quickly."
"Just wait and see." Zhu Suisui just smiled mysteriously.
