After glancing at the man with ambiguous intentions, Shen Mingzhu closed the brocade box, put it into the innermost layer of her handbag, zipped it up, and then handed the handbag to the man.
"Watch out, if you lose it I'll chop you up."
Pei Yang hugged his handbag tightly, secretly happy that his wife needed him.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with it?"
Shen Mingzhu glanced at him sideways, smiling, "Then you'd better run faster, don't let me catch you, or I'll break your legs."
Pei Yang approached her, his tone slightly vulgar, "Wife, which leg of mine are you going to break?"
"All three are interrupted."
“…”
So cruel!
After a few words, both of them calmed down a lot.
Shen Mingzhu looked out of the porthole. The blue sky was as clear as if it had been washed, and the rolling sea of clouds was as misty as a fairyland. But even such a beautiful scene was slightly inferior to the gift in the brocade box.
The gift that Li Shiman gave her was a Tear of the Ocean that was stolen from a jewelry store.
The reason for this name is that the quality of this diamond is comparable to the world-famous Heart of the Ocean, the only difference between the two is in weight.
The Heart of the Ocean weighs 45 carats, while the Tear of the Ocean sold in the jewelry store weighs only five carats.
But even though this Tear of the Ocean is far from the Heart of the Ocean, it is still precious enough for an ordinary person like her.
She came to Macau originally to thank Rita Lisa, but ended up snatching a big diamond from her.
This matter caused a lot of trouble.
But what's the harm in coming a few more times~ …
"Mom, this blue crystal is so beautiful. Is it the birthday present you prepared for me?"
Shen Mingzhu turned around and saw her daughter sitting on the dressing table, holding a bottle of Tears of the Ocean that she had taken out of her bag, her face full of joy.
She walked over and patted her daughter on the back, not too hard or too lightly. "I've told you so many times that you can't sit at the table."
After being scolded by her, Pei Tanggui sat back on the dressing stool obediently, holding the Tears of the Ocean in her little hand.
Under the bright light, the deep blue gemstone reflects a pure and dazzling light that is so beautiful that it is beyond words.
"Mom, is this my birthday present?"
Her daughter looks like her, especially her watery almond-shaped eyes, which are exactly like hers.
Whenever she faced the other person's admiring eyes and bright smile, her heart softened and she wanted to give the other person all the best things in the world.
"You want this for your birthday?"
Pei Tang nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "Yes! It's so beautiful, as bright as the stars in the sky."
"Well, it's your birthday present this year, but I can't give it to you now."
"Why?"
"It's easy to lose it if you hold it like this. Wait for mom to buy a necklace to string it together, and then you can wear it around your neck so you don't have to worry about losing it."
Pei Tang happily returned the diamond to her immediately, "Then mom, you must remember to choose a beautiful necklace for me, one that is sparkling."
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Thank you, Mom. I love you!"
He stood on the stool using his hands and feet, hugged Shen Mingzhu and kissed her on both cheeks several times, feeling so happy as if he owned the whole world.
Children's happiness is so simple and pure. A beautiful stone can make them feel extremely happy and blessed.
…
Late at night, Shen Mingzhu was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, while the German Shepherd was crawling at her feet, its furry tail wagging from time to time.
Not long after, the German Shepherd, who was lying on the ground, suddenly raised his head, and the next second he ran out happily, wagging his tail.
Shen Mingzhu glanced at the wall clock and was about to close the book when she heard the sound of the courtyard door being unlocked.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Shen Mingzhu propped up her head and looked at him, "Is everything settled?"
Pei Yang changed into slippers and walked over to sit beside her, leaning half of his tall body on her, complaining in his tone: "You don't even care if I'm tired or hungry."
The man's sweat smell was a bit strong, but it was within her acceptable range.
"Didn't your parents make you a good meal tonight?"
"Yes, Mom roasted a duck, but it was not tasty and too salty."
Shen Mingzhu understood.
There are no refrigerators in rural areas, so in order to prevent leftover food from going bad overnight, the food is usually cooked saltier.
She put on her slippers, got up and went to the kitchen, Pei Yang followed her step by step.
After boiling a small pot of water, Shen Mingzhu took out some noodles from the cupboard.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"Just eat noodles?"
Seeing that he was being picky, Shen Mingzhu was annoyed and said, "Then go pick a cucumber and bring it in. I'll make you some cold noodles."
"Okay."
Pei Yang came back quickly, holding a round white cucumber in his left hand and a half-green tomato in his right hand. He took a big bite without even washing it.
"tasty!"
Shen Mingzhu took the cucumber peel and said, "Of course it tastes good. It was fertilized in the evening."
Pei Yang was stunned, and hurriedly spat out the tomatoes in his mouth. He turned on the faucet and washed the tomatoes while joking to himself: "It's not bad to eat them, but I won't get sick."
Shen Mingzhu sneered and asked him what he was going to do in town.
"Don't worry about me. I'll do everything according to your instructions. I'll make a big arch with balloons at the door. It's so beautiful..."
Pei Yang’s task today is to go to the building in the town to set up the venue for his daughter’s birthday party tomorrow.
This was also what he promised himself before going out on the trip.
"It's delicious! The noodles my wife makes are so delicious."
Seeing him bending over and eating voraciously, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but say, "Go to the dining table and eat. I'll show you something while I'm at it."
"OK."
Pei Yang immediately picked up the basin and went outside.
Shen Mingzhu quickly took out a jewelry box from the room and placed it on the table in front of him.
"How about this necklace?"
Pei Yang was chewing noodles while staring at the Tear of the Ocean in the jewelry box: "You really made it into a necklace? If you let Guoguo wear it, aren't you afraid that she will lose it?"
Shen Mingzhu took back the jewelry box with satisfaction, and fiddled with the blue crystal pendant on the necklace. "It seems that the craftsmanship is quite good. Even you didn't recognize it."
Pei Yang reacted, "Oh, this is fake?"
"What else?"
She must be crazy to let her daughter wear real diamonds worth millions.
"I bought the blue crystal at the jade market, had it cut and drilled, and then went to a gold shop to get a silver chain. The total cost was less than two hundred yuan."
Hearing her say this, Pei Yang took the necklace and examined it carefully, "It's worth it, it's so real."
"Of course."
Seeing Shen Mingzhu put the necklace back into the jewelry box with satisfaction, Pei Yang continued to eat his noodles while jokingly saying, "Do you want to find someone to make a necklace out of that real thing so you can wear it, too?"
Shen Mingzhu had this idea before. Which woman would not like a beautiful and pure diamond?
But she was worried that if she wore it outside, someone who knew the value of the item would recognize it, which would bring unnecessary trouble and danger. After much deliberation, she decided to put it in the bank's safe, preparing it for her daughter's dowry in the future. (End of this chapter)
