Lu Qi asked curiously, "What is this?"
Yan Qiao glanced at it but didn't move.
She couldn't guess what it was either.
Chen Ge was very curious and asked the camera to zoom in.
"Yan Qiao, take a look."
Urged on by him, Yan Qiao reluctantly opened the box with a sour face.
A sparkling pink diamond is now on display before everyone.
Yan Qiao recognized it at a glance; it was a 16-carat flawless pink diamond that had been auctioned off.
It sold for a high price of 170 million!
She was thinking at the time that Third Master Pei was a sucker.
Hmm, I'm a little calmer now.
Of course, she wouldn't show it, and she would never admit that she really liked the diamond.
Lu Qi exclaimed, "How beautiful! Such a big diamond, how much does it weigh?"
Yan Qiao pouted, "It's only 16 carats, it's not that heavy."
Lu Qi's pupils dilated in shock. "A 16-carat pink diamond? Isn't that heavy?"
Chen Ge exclaimed, "It looks very expensive."
Yan Qiao casually said, "It's alright, only about 170 million."
Lu Qi: "..."
Chen Ge crowed like a rooster: "Snatch the young master?"
Yan Qiao gave him a disdainful look and repeated, "170 million."
[Director Chen seems to have voiced my own opinion! 170 million!]
【Aaaaaah, I'm going to fight these rich people!】
Is it really possible for a man to dump his girlfriend and then immediately give her a diamond worth 170 million?
[To see pink diamonds worth hundreds of millions here, Mom, I'm so proud!]
Meanwhile, Yan Yaoyao, who was also staring at the screen, was so angry that she wanted to grind her teeth to powder and her eyes were bleeding.
Didn't they break up?
Especially this diamond, which she watched Pei Jingzhan bid on, but now it's in Yan Qiao's hands!
Compared to this, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Even after she married Shen Zhou, she never had such a beautiful diamond set in her ring.
After the final episode of the live stream ended and he finished his closing remarks, Chen Ge had the live stream abruptly cut off.
Another day has passed just like that.
Yan Qiao rubbed her sore eyes.
She knew that keeping herself busy was just a way to numb herself.
As night fell and everything quieted down, that empty feeling in her heart returned.
After learning the truth, her sadness far outweighed her anger.
Anger can be released, but how do you deal with sadness?
Yan Qiao sat in the pavilion. Her aunt returned again, prepared the meal, and brought it out for them.
"I've been eating takeout these past few days, and I even look a little thinner."
Yan Qiao smiled and said, "Auntie, no way."
She barely ate a few bites before losing her appetite.
"Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; if you skip a meal..."
Yan murmured, "We won't starve to death."
Lu Qi: "..."
"Why don't we put the diamonds away first?"
She was alarmed that hundreds of millions of dollars were sitting in the yard.
Yan Qiao scoffed, "Pathetic."
After she put the diamond away, she took out the remaining soil.
At first, I was just sculpting aimlessly, but as I kept sculpting, I gradually sculpted a human shape and carved out an appearance.
Lu Qi took a look and realized it was Pei Jingzhan.
"You like him a lot, don't you? He likes you a lot too, I can tell."
Yan Qiao remained motionless, staring blankly at the object in her hand, without saying a word.
The affection was real, and so was the hurt he caused.
To put it bluntly, this is the hurdle she hasn't overcome yet.
Lu Qi laughed and said, "Didn't you want to punish him? Why make yourself unhappy? If you're in a bad mood, go home and stay for a few days. I'll take care of the silkworms here for you."
After more than ten days, the silkworms have grown much bigger.
Lu Qi went from being afraid at first to getting used to it and is now able to touch these soft-bodied insects calmly.
Yan Qiao hummed in agreement, "Tomorrow then."
Shi Yuehua and the others must have found it strange.
Yan Qiao put the finished clay sculpture into the kiln to be fired, and then took it out to color it.
This clay sculpture cannot recreate his handsome face.
But how could he be so wicked?
...
If Zhang Yufan doesn't go online for a day, he'll miss out on a major juicy story.
She only found out the next day that Pei Jingzhan had been kicked out by Yan Qiao.
She immediately sent a message to Shi Yuehua.
Zhang Yufan: [Hey sis, I heard your granddaughter broke up with her boyfriend?]
October Flower: [I don't know, I'll ask her when she gets back.]
October Flower: [Kids like older things today and younger things tomorrow, that's normal.]
Zhang Yufan was so angry that he slapped his thigh.
Zhang Yufan: [No way! How can you like someone so young!]
October Flower: [Don't be so hypocritical. Your daughter-in-law is 48 this year, and I haven't seen you say anything about it.]
Zhang Yufan was heartbroken and her heart was filled with the thought that her daughter-in-law had run away.
Pei Jingzhan wasn't home, and no one answered his phone, so she had no choice but to ask Li Qiao instead.
Li Qiao had no choice but to tell Yan Qiao the whole story of how Pei Jingzhan had initially approached her with ulterior motives.
Enraged, Zhang Yufan cursed, "That son of a bitch, he's inhuman! If I were Yan Qiao, I would have chopped up his whole family!"
Li Qiao: "..." Should I remind you that you are among this "family"?
Despite his anger, Zhang Yufan was still his biological son, and after a scolding, he let it go.
The key now is how to coax Yan Qiao back.
"Where are the three older men?"
"Third Master was in a bad mood and stayed up all night, barely getting any sleep."
Li Qiao wasn't lying.
Pei Jingzhan remained at the company the entire time. The office was filled with smoke, and there were many cigarette butts, but he didn't smoke a single one.
He just kept lighting it, a deep, unyielding sorrow etched on his brow.
Zhang Yufan sighed, "To others, the identity of Third Master Pei is a plus, but to Yan Qiao, it's not so special."
Li Qiao sighed, it was all his fault for coming up with such a terrible idea.
"Girls need to be coaxed. If you're just being lazy at the company, Yan Qiao won't see it. You can use a self-inflicted injury or a honey trap. There's bound to be some of the thirty-six stratagems you can use."
After giving some instructions and hanging up the phone, Zhang Yufan got up and started preparing a gift for the meeting.
Pei Zuoji asked, "Where are you going?"
“I’m going to see Yuehua to apologize. Your son did something terrible and hurt that girl’s feelings.”
Pei Zuoji straightened his collar. "I'll go with you?"
Zhang Yufan waved his hand, "Go fishing."
She prepared a lot of gifts, filling the entire trunk of her car, and went to see Shi Yuehua.
She thought it was better for her to take the initiative to apologize than for Shi Yuehua to find out the truth and blame her first.
To everyone's surprise, Yan Qiao returned before her.
By the time she arrived, Shi Yuehua already knew the truth.
He angrily rebuked her for being shameless: "You can even make up a story about a 48-year-old daughter-in-law!"
Zhang Yufan felt guilty, yet also exuded a sense of self-righteousness: "Didn't you spread this rumor? I told you my son found someone more than ten years younger than me, but in your mouth, my son found someone more than ten years older than me."
Shi Yuehua was speechless. "You didn't explain yourself clearly, and now you're blaming me?"
Zhang Yufan waved his hands repeatedly, "I've come to apologize. Why blame you? You should blame my son for being a bad person."
Grandpa Song huffed, "He really doesn't know how to behave. At his age, he's dating someone more than ten years younger than him. Is that even right? My family member is a generation younger than him, so we have to call him 'uncle'!"
