Chapter 385 Gift
Chen Le smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, the bodyguards Chu Yaoyang sent are all professional. They won't get lost."
After getting off the bus with Su Xi at the mall, Chen Le headed straight for Hengyun.
Heng Yun is the largest jewelry store in the port city.
This is also the main reason why Chen Le came to Hong Kong this time.
The storefront of "Hengyun Jewelry" is designed to be understated yet luxurious, with light gold decorative lines outlining a noble temperament.
As soon as I entered the store, a young woman in a business suit greeted me.
"Madam, sir, welcome to Hengyun. How can I help you?"
Su Xi curiously looked around the shop's layout, and soon her gaze was drawn to a standalone display case in the center.
Inside lay a delicate diamond ring.
"so beautiful!"
Chen Le also noticed Su Xi's gaze. He smiled slightly and said to the sales assistant:
"Can I take it out and have it shown?"
"of course can!"
The sales assistant's voice carried a hint of excitement; she immediately noticed Su Xi's interest in the ring.
She carefully took the ring out of the display case and placed it on a tray covered with dark blue velvet.
"Madam, you have excellent taste!"
“This ring is the flagship piece of our chief designer’s ‘Stardust’ collection.”
"The main diamond is 2.01 carats, D color, FL clarity, and 3EX perfect cut. It is truly a top-tier piece that is one in a million!"
"There's only one of these in the whole world. It was just airlifted to the store less than an hour ago!"
The sales assistant spoke with a hint of pride; this ring was undoubtedly the store's prized possession.
Su Xi examined the ring closely, her eyes sparkling with amazement.
She had never seen such an exquisite and perfect diamond ring.
Chen Le, standing to the side, secretly felt smug as he looked at Su Xi's expression.
This was also his main purpose in coming to the port city.
He had seen this flagship diamond ring from the "Stardust" series in the news a long time ago.
At that time, he felt that this ring would be perfect for Su Xi.
Therefore, he specially arranged this trip to the port city to give Su Xi a surprise.
"Tsk, so fussy."
A rough, sharp sound, like sandpaper scraping through sandpaper, shattered the tranquility of the shop.
A burly man strolled over, a thick gold chain around his neck, a gleaming gold-faced diamond watch on his wrist, a bulging handbag tucked under his arm, and a strong scent of cologne emanating from him.
The smell was somewhat pungent, as if deliberately trying to draw attention to his arrival.
A young woman with glamorous makeup and revealing clothes was nestled beside the man, her large expanse of white skin barely contained by the collar of her dress.
The woman linked arms with the man, seemingly enjoying being watched.
The man glanced at Su Xi, then at his female companion, and instantly lost interest.
A smug smile appeared on his face as he said to Su Xi in a pretentious manner:
"Beautiful lady, looking for a diamond ring? This one isn't good enough, but I have some better ones, want to take a look?"
Su Xi ignored him and simply gripped Chen Le's arm tightly.
The man didn't seem to care and turned to look at Chen Le again.
He looked Chen Le up and down, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Brother, are you from out of town?"
Chen Le frowned slightly, unsure of what the man meant.
The man continued:
"Judging from your accent, you've come to the port city to work, right?"
"Let me tell you, the jewelry here is something you couldn't earn even if you worked your whole life."
"If you don't have money, don't pretend to be rich. Try to pick up girls like others, but look at yourself."
The woman next to the man laughed as well, as if she had received some important instruction, and quickly chimed in:
"That's right, that's right. They don't even know what they're made of. They're not even as good as one of Brother Long's toes!"
The man called Brother Long looked at Su Xi again, a self-satisfied smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Hey girl, wanna hang out with me? Your man can't afford these rings, but if you come with me, I, Long Fugui, will give you one for free. How about it?"
Upon hearing Long Fugui's words, the woman beside him immediately became anxious.
"Brother Long, how...how could you do this?"
She reached out to grab Long Fugui's arm, but Long Fugui pushed her away.
"Get out of my way, don't get in the way of my picking up girls!"
Su Xi gave Long Fugui a cold look and ignored him.
She gripped Chen Le's hand tightly and urged him in a low voice:
"Chen Le, let's go, let's ignore this kind of person."
Chen Le nodded; he didn't want to argue with this kind of person.
He took out his bank card, ready to pay and leave.
Upon seeing this, the sales assistant quickly put the ring back in the display case, then took out the POS machine to prepare to swipe Chen Le's card.
Seeing this, Long Fugui was somewhat displeased.
"Hey kid, you're actually buying it? Do you know how much this ring costs? You couldn't afford it even if you worked your whole life!"
Long Fugui's words made Chen Le frown slightly. He turned to look at Long Fugui, his eyes revealing a hint of displeasure.
Whether I can afford it or not is none of your business.
Seeing this, the woman beside Long Fugui quickly seized the opportunity to point at the ring and said coquettishly:
"Brother Long, I want one too, please buy it for me, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Long Fugui immediately perked up.
"I'll buy it! I'm buying a ring!"
He immediately pulled out a card and slammed it down in front of the sales assistant.
"Wrap up all the ones that kid just picked out, and these ones too."
After saying that, Long Fugui glanced at Chen Le smugly, as if he wanted to show off his wealth.
The sales assistant looked at Chen Le with some difficulty, unsure of what to do.
"This gentleman arrived first, and that ring is a limited edition; there's only one available..."
Upon hearing this, Long Fugui was immediately displeased.
"What good is being first? Does he even have money?"
"Let me tell you, I've got plenty of money. I'm buying this ring today!"
After Long Fugui finished speaking, he gave Chen Le a defiant look, seemingly trying to intimidate Chen Le in this way.
Chen Le felt somewhat displeased looking at Long Fugui's arrogant demeanor.
But he didn't want to get into a conflict in this place, and simply said:
"Sir, we were here first, could you please move aside?"
After saying that, Chen Le handed the bank card back to the sales assistant.
Long Fugui shoved Chen Le's hand back and said with a sneer:
"You migrant worker from out of town, do you have any money? This ring costs over a million!"
The woman next to him also urged:
"Brother Long, that ring is a limited edition, I want it, please buy it for me!"
Upon hearing this, Long Fugui immediately glared at the woman, then turned around, pointed at Chen Le, and arrogantly said:
"Let me tell you, I'm a big shot in Hong Kong. I'm buying this ring today!"
