The colorful lights hanging on the lawn suddenly went out, leaving only the dimly lit ground lights around the perimeter. The melodious "Happy Birthday" song began to play, and a huge ten-tiered cake was slowly pushed out.
The whole audience applauded and sang along to the birthday song.
After the colored lights came on again, Ji Sinian scurried off the stage and came to Shi Miao's side. "Ugh, birthdays are so annoying."
Ji Yanchen was talking to Xie Sizhou and the others on the other side, but he kept glancing at Shi Miao out of the corner of his eye.
"Si Nian, this is a birthday present I bought for you." Qin Mingyue took out a beautifully wrapped box from her bag and handed it to him.
Ji Sinian reached out and took it, saying a perfunctory thank you.
"I wonder what gift Miss Shi gave Si Nian?" Qin Mingyue asked with a smile, her eyes flashing slightly.
Ji Sinian couldn't help but frown. Just as he was about to retort, he was interrupted by a waiter pushing a cart over, who asked, "Excuse me, who is Miss Shi Miao?"
"That's me." Shi Miao walked over unhurriedly.
"Here's your package." The waiter said, taking two particularly heavy cardboard boxes off the cart and placing them on the lawn.
"Miss Shi, this isn't the gift you gave to Si Nian, is it?" Qin Mingyue exclaimed, covering her mouth.
The commotion had already attracted a crowd of onlookers.
"This gift looks so shabby."
"Damn, isn't this making Ji Yanchen look bad?"
"Could it be some cheap stuff I bought online?"
......
"Holy crap, Sister Miao, what's this?" Ji Sinian squatted down curiously. The sender's address and sender's name were both blank on the express delivery slip.
"Here's a gift for you. Open it and take a look." Shi Miao said casually, arms crossed and eyes slightly upturned.
"What's wrong?" Ji Yanchen saw a crowd gathered around Shi Miao and walked over, putting his arm around the girl's shoulder and asking in a low voice.
"It's nothing, the gift for him just arrived, and it arrived just in time."
As soon as Shi Miao finished speaking, a series of exclamations came from the surrounding area.
The group looked at the contents of the box on the ground with varying expressions and began to whisper among themselves.
Shi Miao glanced at the rough diamonds in the box, and couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly. Zhong Li, that guy...
“Miss Shi, giving a box of colorful stones as a birthday gift is a bit…” Qin Mingyue said with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Tsk, it's none of your business. I like it, that's all that matters." Ji Sinian's eyes turned cold as he retorted without any mercy.
Qin Mingyue was embarrassed. What was wrong with Ji Sinian? Treating a pile of broken stones as a treasure.
"Wait, this is a rough diamond!" Suddenly, an old man walked over.
"Sir, you must be mistaken. This is clearly just a pile of stones." Qin Mingyue's heart skipped a beat, and she said in disbelief.
“You little girl, I am the president of the Diamond Association. I can tell whether something is a diamond or not at a glance. Moreover, these are all high-quality rough diamonds.” Qi Yun said in a deep voice, his face showing displeasure.
"Elder Qi." Ji Yanchen looked at the old man with some surprise and spoke up.
"Yan Chen, where did all these raw stones come from?" Qi Yun nodded and asked with a smile.
"It's a birthday gift from my girlfriend Shi Miao to Si Nian." Ji Yanchen glanced at the box of raw stones on the ground and noticed a capital F on one corner of the box, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.
"Miss Shi, may I ask about these rough diamonds..." Upon hearing this, a slight look of surprise flashed in Qi Yun's eyes.
"Hmm, my friend sent it to me," Shi Miao said lazily.
"I haven't seen such high-quality rough stones in many years. May I polish and process them for you?"
"You decide," Shi Miao said, raising an eyebrow and turning to look at Ji Sinian beside her.
"Ah, okay." Ji Sinian nodded in a daze, still not quite recovered from seeing so many rough diamonds. Wow, my sister is amazing.
Qin Mingyue was stunned. Wasn't this Shi Miao just a country bumpkin from H City?
Xie Sizhou was surprised that Shi Miao was so capable, even managing to get her hands on rough diamonds. No wonder she was the one Brother Chen had his eye on.
"Si Nian, hurry up and open the other box!" he urged curiously, pointing to the remaining box on the ground.
Ji Sinian nodded, then opened another box.
Inside, a huge blue diamond lay quietly.
"Holy crap, am I seeing things? Such a huge diamond!"
"Just who is Ji Yanchen's girlfriend? She's so generous!"
"Judging by the color, it must be worth at least hundreds of millions!"
...
Ji Sinian was dumbfounded, touching the bridge of his nose. "Wow, this is too valuable, Sister Miao."
"It's alright, I'll send you a bigger and better one next time," Shi Miao said seriously, resting her chin on her hand.
Everyone: "..."
Qin Mingyue bit her lip in frustration. Could it be that Ji Yanchen bought it himself to save face for Shi Miao...?
