Chapter 56

As Ye Huangyang started to curse, her mother, Ye Yanli, also saw Lu Xin and joined in, cursing him with her child, who could be called either a daughter or a son, with foul and unbearable words.

Lu Xin really wanted to step forward and slap their mouths shut, but this was a busy downtown area with many people coming and going, and even more onlookers. In no time, hundreds of people gathered at the entrance of Chow Tai Fook to watch the spectacle.

If he were to beat up that pair of freaks, Lu Xin would also end up on the social news with them. He didn’t want to become famous in such a way. He lowered his head and walked out of Chow Tai Fook, heading to the restroom of a nearby supermarket to relieve himself.

After finishing, he came out of the restroom and stood by the side door of Chow Tai Fook, peering inside.

Seeing Lu Xin slink away, Ye Huangyang and Ye Yanli felt as if they had won a battle, feeling extremely smug. They took advantage of the situation to buy a pair of elegant floral 18K gold diamond rings, each worth 9,999 yuan.

This odd pair, of course, had no man or woman who loved them, so they bought the rings to give to each other, deepening their so-called mother-daughter or mother-son relationship.

Ye Yanli swiped her card and paid for the rings. Just as she was about to put the elegant floral 18K gold diamond rings on Ye Huangyang’s and her own fingers, her vision blurred, and the rings, worth 20,000 yuan, vanished from the box, leaving only an empty box.

Ye Yanli and Ye Huangyang searched the box and the counter thoroughly but found no trace of the rings.

They began to suspect that the sales staff of Chow Tai Fook or the customers moving around them had quickly and stealthily stolen the rings. They started cursing loudly inside Chow Tai Fook, which eventually forced the security guards to forcibly remove them.

They refused to back down, cursing and flailing at the security guards, who, unable to tolerate it any longer, threw them onto the street and kicked them a few times before leaving.

Journalists arrived and interviewed Chow Tai Fook. The staff reviewed the video surveillance and found that the rings had indeed disappeared from the box suddenly. At that time, both the sales staff and other customers were far from Ye Yanli and Ye Huangyang, making it impossible for them to take the rings from a distance unless they were all called Do Min-joon. The fact was that this odd pair, whether mother and daughter or mother and son, were deliberately causing trouble.

With no one to turn to, the odd pair could only admit their bad luck, wailing on the ground for a while before getting up and leaving.

Lu Xin watched their retreating backs, feeling the pair of elegant floral 18K gold diamond rings in his pocket, and smiled coldly. Truly, those who bring disaster upon themselves deserve it. If they hadn’t cursed him so harshly, he wouldn’t have used his metal control ability to take the rings from a distance.

Zhou Ya waited for half an hour in the KFC before seeing Lu Xin walk in with a smile. She pouted and said, "Lu Sanjin, do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you? Where have you been?"

Seeing Zhou Ya sitting in a corner, surrounded by couples, with no one paying attention to them, Lu Xin smiled at her and said, "Close your eyes!"

"Why should I close my eyes?" Zhou Ya’s beautiful eyes darted around, staring at Lu Xin in surprise.

"Close your eyes and make a wish. The thing you desire most will come to you," Lu Xin’s smile was as bright as the spring sunshine.

Looking at Lu Xin’s handsome face and his bright smile, Zhou Ya couldn’t help but blush and feel her heart race. She obediently closed her eyes.

Lu Xin got up, moved behind her, and took out the first platinum diamond necklace he had obtained from Li Qiming from Zhou Ya’s fake LV bag. He gently put it around Zhou Ya’s neck, then placed his Xiaomi phone in front of her, turning on the selfie mode, and softly said, "You can open your eyes now!"

Zhou Ya opened her eyes and saw herself in the phone, with a dazzling platinum diamond necklace around her smooth neck, making her swan-like neck appear even more beautiful and fair, enhancing her elegance by twenty points, transforming her from a simple girl to a refined lady.

"So beautiful, I love it so much!" Zhou Ya stared at herself in the phone, thinking that she had never worn such a beautiful necklace before, and she couldn’t help but choke up.

Zhou Ya suddenly realized that the necklace looked familiar. It was the one Lu Xin had pointed out to her, priced at 16,666 yuan. She turned to look at Lu Xin in surprise, "Is this necklace for me?"

"Now that it’s around your neck, of course it’s yours!" Lu Xin smiled calmly.

"You only earn 2,000 yuan a month, and this is worth nine months of your salary," Zhou Ya quickly took off the platinum diamond necklace and handed it to Lu Xin, "I don’t deserve such kindness from you!"

Lu Xin realized he had underestimated Zhou Ya. If it were his ex-girlfriend Yang Xiaoli, she wouldn’t care whether she deserved it and would take the gift first. Zhou Ya could resist the allure of the platinum diamond necklace, showing that she wasn’t a shameless gold digger.

"Zhou Ya, don’t worry. I think your neck is so fair and elegant that it deserves some fine jewelry to make you even more beautiful. I gave you this gift to make the world more beautiful because of you. You must accept it," Lu Xin said with a bright smile.

Zhou Ya’s heart bloomed with joy, her face flushed and her heart racing. She mustered the courage to look into Lu Xin’s eyes, "Do you like me?"

Lu Xin knew the timing wasn’t right. In relationships, whoever speaks first is the most passive. If he said he liked Zhou Ya now, she would be in a constant state of internal conflict, constantly scrutinizing and criticizing him, which could very likely lead to her pushing him away. So, he shouldn’t confess to a girl who already had a boyfriend.

Moreover, Lu Xin just wanted to get back at Xie Fei and play a game out of boredom, not because he truly liked Zhou Ya. Why play the confession game?

He shook his head lightly, looking quite arrogant, "Your face looks like Tang Wei, very beautiful and elegant. You have a great figure and dress well. You’re good at managing finances and are very considerate..."

Just as Zhou Ya was getting happier, thinking Lu Xin was about to confess, he suddenly changed the tone, "But, I don’t have that kind of feeling for you! To be honest, I gave you the platinum diamond necklace because of a small moment of emotion. Even Yang Xiaoli doesn’t remember that I like scallion buns and tofu pudding for breakfast, but you, despite spending little time with me, remembered it, which made me feel a bit touched. You gave me scallion buns, so I gave you a platinum diamond necklace!"

"You gave me scallion buns, so I gave you a platinum diamond necklace! That’s so generous!" A couple nearby overheard Lu Xin and turned to him, bowing, "Rich guy, let’s be friends!"
