Chapter 50

Oh my God! What incredible finger strength! Everyone who saw this scene could hardly believe their eyes: the priceless South African diamond was crushed into a pile of powder by Ye Fei.

After all, even if you hit a diamond with a hammer, it wouldn’t turn out like this.

The crowd's gaze towards Ye Fei was filled with more shock and fear.

Even Tang Ruoxue's pretty face showed a hint of surprise; she never expected Ye Fei to be able to crush a diamond with his bare hands.

Then a smile flickered across her face. Today, after being morally blackmailed, she finally let out a deep breath of frustration.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Ye Fei didn’t stop; he crushed the remaining diamonds one by one, as if they were just lumps of dough.

In a blink, the thirty-seven diamonds were no more, leaving only a pile of sparkling fragments on the ground.

"Mr. Zhao, your diamonds are even worse than glass beads; they are clearly cheap knockoffs from a factory."

"Such things, worth ten million? Are you out of your mind, or do you think Ruoxue is a fool?"

Ye Fei blew the powder off his fingers and casually taunted Zhao Dongyang: "And you graduated from Harvard, yet you can’t even tell the difference between real and fake diamonds."

"Put them away, put them away..." Zhao Dongyang, recovering from his shock, hurriedly shouted to his stunned companions, but it was too late; all the diamonds had turned to powder.

Zhao Dongyang's chest ached terribly. Although he didn’t know where Ye Fei got his strength, these diamonds were bought with real money.

The pink diamond cost thirteen million, and the smaller diamonds cost thirty million, totaling over twenty million.

He didn’t believe the seller would sell him fake goods, as they were long-time business partners.

Over twenty million turned to ashes in an instant; how could Zhao Dongyang not be heartbroken?

Zhao Xiaoyue rushed forward and shouted, "Bastard, you destroyed my brother's diamonds; I demand compensation."

"It was your brother who said they were the hardest diamonds, so I wanted to see how hard they were."

Ye Fei smiled faintly, "But I didn’t expect that the hardest diamond could be crushed without even using a hammer."

"Miss Zhao, your brother was cheated by the seller; he should seek compensation from them."

He clapped his hands and stood in front of Tang Ruoxue, "Besides, something that can be crushed by my fingers, can it still be called a diamond?"

"You... you..." Zhao Xiaoyue was so angry she almost spat blood, but the shattered diamonds left her unable to lash out.

Indeed, could something that could be easily crushed still be called a diamond?

Zhao Dongyang clenched his fists slightly, a fierce look flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Zhao Dongyang, I warn you, Ruoxue is my legal wife."

Ye Fei stepped closer to the Zhao siblings, "Stay away from my wife in the future, or don’t blame me for being unfriendly!"

Looking into Ye Fei's cold eyes, Zhao Dongyang shuddered inexplicably, but he quickly recovered, wondering why he would fear such a waste of space.

"Your wife?

What makes you qualified to be her husband?"

Zhao Xiaoyue exploded, "You eat at the Tang family's expense, live at the Tang family's expense, and spend Ruoxue's money. How can you compare to my brother?"

"She is my sister-in-law and will always be my sister-in-law."

"Even if my brother bought fake diamonds, they still cost over twenty million, which is better than you, who haven’t even given her a ring since getting married."

"You keep saying Ruoxue is your wife, but what have you ever given her?"

Zhao Xiaoyue pressed, "Nothing at all!"

"I don’t need those things with Ye Fei."

Tang Ruoxue's face tightened, "Ye Fei, let’s go home."

"Ruoxue, do you not need them, or has Ye Fei never given them to you?"

Zhao Xiaoyue was determined to embarrass Ye Fei, "Ye Fei, admit it, have you ever given Ruoxue anything?"

"Indeed not."

Ye Fei smiled faintly, "But just because I haven’t in the past doesn’t mean I won’t now or in the future."

Zhao Dongyang sneered, "If you have the ability, give Ruoxue a gift worth ten million."

"As long as you give it in front of everyone and it’s something you can afford, I won’t bother Ruoxue again."

"Otherwise, you should leave the Tang family and stay away from Ruoxue."

He pushed Ye Fei to the limit, "You have three days to buy the gift. Is that enough?"

Zhao Xiaoyue also laughed smugly, "Exactly, dare you bet?"

"I don’t need three days; I’ll give Ruoxue a gift right now."

Ye Fei smiled ambiguously and then pulled out a box from his pocket, the one Han Yue had given him.

On the way, Ye Fei, worried about being tricked by Han Yue, had opened it and found a diamond necklace.

He didn’t examine it closely but felt it was of good quality and thought it would make a good gift.

"Gift?"

Zhao Xiaoyue was sarcastic, "It sounds like you’ve been planning to give Ruoxue a gift all along. Do you think I don’t know you’re just saving face?"

"If you have a gift, open it. Don’t hide it. If you don’t open it, who knows if it’s jewelry or garlic?"

Everyone laughed, clearly thinking Ye Fei was just putting on a show.

A man who married into the family, how could he afford a ten million gift?

Tang Ruoxue tugged at Ye Fei’s sleeve, "Ye Fei, don’t argue with them. Let’s go home; I’m tired."

She longed for Ye Fei to give her a gift but was more worried that the item in the box wouldn’t be high-end, leading to even more ridicule from Zhao Dongyang and the others.

She didn’t care about herself, but she feared that Ye Fei’s hard-earned self-respect would be trampled again.

"Click—" Ye Fei didn’t speak, just opened the box clasp.

A ray of light shone through.

"Hey, there’s something in there, but your status means the gift you bought is trash."

Zhao Xiaoyue sneered, "Did you buy it from a street vendor?"

A few female companions giggled, mocking Ye Fei for faking it.

Ye Fei opened the entire box, revealing the contents.

"Whoosh—" a dazzling light instantly burst forth.

A necklace made of twelve diamonds appeared.

It sparkled brilliantly, dazzling and magnificent.

Its purity and transparency were mesmerizing.

It was truly beautiful and luxurious.

No one had ever seen such clean, such dazzling diamonds, and for a moment, everyone was speechless.

Zhao Dongyang’s eyes also froze.

Ye Fei picked it up and put it on Tang Ruoxue.

Tang Ruoxue instantly lit up.

Ye Fei turned with her, and she swayed gracefully, radiating a brilliant aura.

At that moment, Tang Ruoxue was proud and regal, like a queen.

All the female guests gasped in unison: It’s so beautiful.

Zhao Xiaoyue struggled to speak, "This must be a replica... Oh, is this the legendary 'City of Love' diamond necklace?"

Suddenly, a beautiful woman screamed.

Everyone looked at her curiously and recognized her as a jewelry expert in the fashion industry.

Soon, another wealthy woman excitedly shouted, "Yes, yes, that’s right, it’s the 'City of Love.'"

"Hmph, what 'City of Love'?"

"Can it be better than my brother’s 'Eternal Heart,' which is worth ten million?"

Zhao Xiaoyue sneered, "That’s worth ten million."

But as soon as she finished speaking, another woman chimed in, "Hmph, ten million?"

"Ten million is a joke!"

"The 'City of Love' is made from a single, complete diamond."

"They come from the same mother stone and were crafted over three years by the world-renowned master, Tolkowsky."

"Each diamond is different in shape and size, but together they complement each other perfectly, making it a masterpiece."

"This is not only Tolkowsky’s final work but also his greatest achievement."

"A British prince once wanted to buy this necklace for his wedding and offered one hundred million."

"But Tolkowsky didn’t like him and ultimately didn’t make a deal with the royal family."

"It appeared at an international jewelry exhibition last year and was the undisputed champion."

"One hundred million is a conservative estimate; if it were auctioned, it could fetch three hundred million or even five hundred million."

At least one hundred million?

Everyone looked at Ye Fei in shock.

No one expected Ye Fei to be so wealthy.

Even Ye Fei was surprised; he thought the necklace was worth at most ten million, not over one hundred million.

Han Yue was really generous.

Those who had mocked Ye Fei as a poor guy were now embarrassed, as their entire net worth might not match the necklace.

The Zhao siblings were the most embarrassed, their faces burning as if they had been slapped in public, their necks red.

Zhao Dongyang’s carefully prepared diamonds were not only crushed by Ye Fei but also didn’t even match the tip of the 'City of Love,' losing face completely.

They wanted to embarrass Ye Fei, but ended up embarrassing themselves.

"Hmph, one hundred million, a lot?"

Zhao Xiaoyue glared at Ye Fei, "One hundred million is just a drop in the bucket for my brother."

"For you, it’s probably your entire net worth, maybe even more."

"Maybe the necklace isn’t even yours."

"Do you have anything else to show?"

At that moment, a traffic officer rushed in, shouting, "Whose car is blocking the entrance? Move it."

"Is it my brother’s five million Ferrari?"

Zhao Xiaoyue loudly replied, "Brother, go move it."

"No, it’s a twelve million Lamborghini."

"Sorry, I’ll move it right away."

Ye Fei took out the Lamborghini’s keys and left with Tang Ruoxue... The entire venue fell silent again...
