Chapter 16 Buying a Wedding Ring
After Lu Yanzhi left, Zhou Qingti lay down for a while before slowly getting up.
Standing in front of the sink and looking at herself in the mirror, she was shocked as if struck by lightning. Was she wearing this very skirt yesterday and talking to him for so long and even sleeping in the same bed with him?
Zhou Qingti covered his face with his hands. Why was it so easy to get socially killed when he met him?
He wouldn't think that I was deliberately dressing like this to seduce him, would I?
Then she thought that he seemed to have no interest in her last night, and Zhou Qingti didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
He patted his face to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind.
Zhou Qingti changed her clothes and opened the drawer at the entrance. There were several luxury car keys in it. She didn't have the ability to tell the car model by the keys, so she had to use the method of elimination.
Both the McLaren and Bentley are too high-profile, so she picked up the Mercedes-Benz keys between the Porsche and the Mercedes-Benz.
Humming a little tune as she walked to the garage, she was stunned. No one told her that Lu Yanzhi's Mercedes-Benz was a white G-Class.
She walked around the car and found it very handsome, with a wild beauty. She had seen black G-Class on the road, but this was the first time she saw a white one. Obviously, the white one looked better!
She was very tempted, but she couldn't drive an SUV. She looked at the cars in Lu Yanzhi's parking space and found the most low-key one was a Porsche, so she had to go back and change the keys.
Zhou Qingti was driving a Porsche and thinking about the G-Class. At this moment, she understood men. Before, she thought: cars are just a means of transportation.
Her now: It smells so good! The luxury car is so cool, she will buy it when she has money!
When the shop assistants saw her driving a Porsche to work today, they thought it was her new car. They surrounded her and asked when she bought it, and clamored to hold a car collection party.
Zhou Qingti saw through their true colors at a glance: "Are you planning to hold a car pickup party? You clearly want to rip me off."
The three shop assistants are all lovely girls, especially Xiao Li, who helped her see through the true face of the scumbag Lin Xiye. They get along with each other as casually as friends.
Zhou Qingti was also generous to them and promised immediately: "I didn't buy the car, but I can let you guys have a meal at it."
They began to cheer, and Zhou Qingti continued, "But I don't have time these two days, so let's do it next Monday night."
Although Zhou Qingti was panting heavily, they were still very happy. Xiao Li approached her and asked curiously, "Boss, do you have a boyfriend? He's a very handsome man."
Zhou Qingti didn't know how to explain their relationship to others, so he just said vaguely, "More or less."
Xiao Li thought she was shy and that they must be together.
I was happy for her because the boss's ex-boyfriend was quite handsome and rich, but he cheated on her.
Then the boss found someone who was more handsome and richer, and she was very happy as a bystander.
…
Assistant Dong saw Mr. Lu in the company and felt that he was a little different today, as if he was much kinder?
He just waved his hand and didn't get angry when his subordinates made mistakes, and the president's assistant office was filled with a relaxed atmosphere.
Assistant Dong discovered that President Lu had not asked him to go to T cake to buy desserts for a long time, and his great opportunity to slack off was gone.
Moreover, Mr. Lu has postponed all business dinners for the past three days.
Does it seem like Mr. Lu is really in love with the dessert shop owner? No wonder I always feel like bosses have become sweeter. I hope Mr. Zhou can be more supportive so we can work in this relaxed atmosphere in the future.
Zhou Qingti didn't know that he was expected to do so. After making all the desserts, he drove home to get some daily necessities, such as a set of conservative pajamas.
At noon, Lu Yanzhi sent her an address, saying that they should have lunch together and then go choose a ring together.
This itinerary was very similar to that of a couple about to get married, but Zhou Qingti understood that this was all to please the old lady.
We ate at an exquisite restaurant. From the decoration to the dishes, it was beautiful and delicious.
The smoked Wagyu short ribs were cooked to medium rare, with distinct textures, tender and juicy.
The black truffle mushroom soup was creamy and particularly delicious.
Zhou Qingti nodded while eating, and Lu Yanzhi knew that he could mark this restaurant and come back next time.
After a simple lunch, Lu Yanzhi took her directly to a brand jewelry store in the mall to buy a ring.
Diamonds are forever, and one lasts forever. Every woman has heard this classic slogan.
It also makes the value and significance of diamond, a single crystal, reach an unprecedented level.
But Zhou Qingti did not fall into this consumption trap. She felt that buying diamonds was not as good as buying gold, as gold is something that can maintain and appreciate its value forever.
But when she saw the various sparkling diamond rings, she felt that she had always been too proud of her own worldliness.
No girl can resist the temptation of sparkles, especially when she doesn't have to pay for them.
The clerk looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him and thought they were a film crew coming to shoot a movie.
She had seen too many combinations of beautiful women and ugly men, but this was the first time she had seen such a pleasing pair.
Lu Yanzhi directly said that he wanted to buy a couple ring, and the clerk asked about their needs.
He said very domineeringly: "The most expensive one in your store."
The clerk was delighted, this was a big order!
Diamond rings of excellent quality need to be customized, but they wanted a ready-made one, and in the end they bought a 2.5-carat cushion-shaped women's diamond ring with a VVS1 grade.
Zhou Qingti has long and round fingers, which suits her perfectly.
Men’s rings are much simpler, mostly plain, with at most one or two diamonds inlaid on them.
But Zhou Qingti felt that it was too ordinary and lacked the quality, so he finally chose a men's ring inlaid with diamonds. It did not look out of place on him at all, but instead made the ring more noble.
When paying, Lu Yanzhi said, "I'll let you wear this for now. When I find a suitable diamond at an auction, we can order a pair."
The shop assistant listened with envy: "Is this unfair? She also wants to suffer this kind of injustice."
The store manager was smart and immediately said, "Please contact us on WeChat. If there are any suitable rough stones coming in, she can give you two priority to choose."
Lu Yanzhi: "Just add my wife directly, as long as she likes it."
Zhou Qingti was in a daze for a moment. This was the first time he heard him talk about his relationship with her to an outsider.
If she was really Lu Yanzhi's wife, she would be very happy. As a fake one, I am experiencing the benefits first.
The store manager praised the couple's love and added Zhou Qingti on WeChat.
"Mrs. Lu, right?"
Zhou Qingti felt unfamiliar with this title, and she couldn't adapt to it.
The two rings were completed in less than twenty minutes, just as easy as getting her marriage certificate.
What was originally a ritualistic thing between normal couples became a matter of perfunctory between her and Lu Yanzhi.
There was a hint of sadness in her heart, but it was quickly covered up by the joy of getting rich. She was making money.
Before going to the old house, Lu Yanzhi told her: "After a while, my uncle and his family will go to Singapore to develop overseas business. Grandma might be in a bad mood. If you have time, please come and accompany her more often."
"Okay." That's what she should do.
It was also Lu Yanzhi's plan to arrange for his uncle and others to go abroad. He has been working in the overseas market, but it was all small-scale.
Overseas is undoubtedly a new continent under development. As far as he knows, his father has already started to develop that illegitimate son.
Instead of giving it to him, it is better to seize the opportunity myself. This way, I can also give face to my third uncle, and it will be easy to get his support then.
…
In the Lu family's old house, Zhou Qingti and Lu Yanzhi were receiving lectures from Old Madam Lu. It was basically Lu Yanzhi being lectured while Zhou Qingti was listening.
"You're married but you don't look like you're married at all. Are you guys just playing house?"
Lu Yanzhi explained: "I was on a business trip for a while, so it was indeed my negligence."
The mention of business trips made Mrs. Lu even more angry: "You're already on a business trip less than a month after getting married! What could be more important than your wife?"
Zhou Qingti stepped forward to smooth things over: "Grandma, this is our first marriage and we don't have much experience. Please don't talk about him. We will work together to improve and manage our little family well in the future."
What if her financial sponsor gets wronged and takes it out on her?
Seeing that the two of them looked well-behaved and both were wearing wedding rings, the old lady did not continue to scold them.
She warned Lu Yanzhi to take his marriage seriously and then drove him away, and then took Zhou Qingti aside to talk to her in private.
"If Lu Yanzhi does something wrong, you should point it out promptly. Happiness is your own, and you have to grasp and create it yourself.
Zhou Qingti nodded as he listened: "Grandma is right, I think so too, that's why Yanzhi and I always talk about things and rarely quarrel."
It is true that they only talk when there is something to talk about, and generally do not contact each other if there is nothing else. It is true that they do not quarrel, because she does not dare to quarrel with her financial sponsor.
Lu Yanzhi looked at Zhou Qingti, who was so well-behaved in front of her grandmother, and all the coldness in her was gone.
He could feel that although Zhou Qingti was relaxed in front of him, he was deliberately trying to please him.
Like many of his third parties, but not as polite as them.
