I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 78 - Cultured Diamond

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Cultured Diamond

Shi Zhen seethed with anger, “Yuan Xi, let’s be fair, do you think I should be angry?”

Yuan Xi looked towards Huo Shiyuan.

Huo Shiyuan said, “Don’t make it hard on Yuan Xi. Have you asked Lawrence? What if the diamond from Fanyan Entertainment in the news is fake?”

“Is there a need to ask?” Shi Zhen said, “How could it be fake? I think Fanyan Entertainment is not a small company, and that person, his fiancée, is the daughter of the richest man in Jiang City, how could such a family use a fake diamond?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Even if that diamond is real, initially, it was because Lawrence wanted it as a burial item that dad sold it to Lawrence. You can’t blame dad for this, why get angry over it?”

Shi Zhen retorted, “How can I not blame him? He didn’t properly choose a master for the diamond. Now, giving it to someone who cheats as a wedding ring is a total insult to the Pink Aurora! It’s infuriating.”

...

Huo Shiyuan made a phone call to Lawrence.

Lawrence was of Chinese-German descent, and Shiyi Group had collaborated with him on many projects in Europe, so it was actually difficult for Huo Ting to refuse when Lawrence asked for the diamond ring.

At that time, it was around midnight in Germany when Huo Shiyuan called, and it took nearly a minute before the call was answered.

Yuan Xi listened as Huo Shiyuan spoke fluent German for a while before hanging up.

“The Pink Aurora is still in Lawrence’s wife’s grave.”

Yuan Xi was surprised, “Really? Bo Fan is bold enough to do this? To give Chu Yan a fake diamond? Isn’t he afraid of being exposed and ridiculed?”

Huo Shiyuan shook his head, “Because Lawrence won’t expose it.”

Yuan Xi was puzzled, “Hmm?”

Huo Shiyuan explained, “Ms. Shi tirelessly promoted how Lawrence’s love for his wife moved heaven and earth, and how a diamond ring worth 300 million was used as a burial item, attracting the attention of international thief organizations.”

“The security of the graveyard is difficult, Lawrence fears actual tomb robbery, so he had his assistant commission a domestic cultured diamond company to custom-make a diamond identical to the Pink Aurora.

He also wanted the cultured diamond company to find a reputable and tight-lipped jewelry company to promote that they possessed the Pink Aurora.

The jewelry company chosen by the cultured diamond company happened to have business dealings with the Bo family.

I suppose it was because the Bo family heard that the true owner of the Pink Aurora did not want to expose their possession of the diamond, allowing them to daringly present a cultured diamond as an engagement ring to Chu Yan.”

Huo Shiyuan looked at Shi Zhen and said, “Ms. Shi, have you been promoting that Lawrence buried the Pink Aurora?”

Shi Zhen said, “Not really, I only told Mosica, Jenny, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Fu… that’s all.”

Huo Shiyuan continued, “Now you can rest assured, that Pink Aurora is fake.”

Shi Zhen frowned, “Why is Lawrence going through all this trouble? Finding a jewelry company, I could just admit I am the owner of Pink Aurora, couldn’t I?”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “The Pink Aurora hasn’t been seen, those thieves won’t easily believe it, so that’s why he sought a discreet cultured diamond company to allow the ‘Pink Aurora’ to make an appearance.”

Shi Zhen conceded, “Alright, I wronged your dad. I’ll fly back to Switzerland immediately to apologize to him.”

“Take this little troublemaker away!”

Huo Shiyuan pointed at Xiao Shihuo in Shi Zhen’s arms.

Shi Zhen frowned, “What troublemaker? He is your own little brother!”

“And besides, you’re going to be a father soon, and you have no experience being a dad. I’m giving you my son to practice with, you should be thanking me.”

Shi Zhen patted Xiao Shihuo on the head, “Be good and listen to your brother and sister, okay?”

Xiao Shihuo nodded his head.

Shi Zhen looked at Yuan Xi and said, “Please take care of Little Huohuo.”

Yuan Xi replied, “Okay, Mom.”

Shi Zhen spoke again, “From now on, you shouldn’t call me Mom.”

Yuan Xi’s hand trembled slightly, her expression didn’t seem to suggest that she disliked Shi Zhen…

Shi Zhen said, “Calling me ‘Mom’ makes me feel old. Although I’m almost fifty, I don’t act my age. You can follow Shiyan and call me Ms. Shi.”

“…”

“Okay, Ms. Shi.”

After setting Little Huohuo down, Shi Zhen said, “I didn’t even know you were on Star Island, and I don’t have an introductory gift for you. So, I’ll give you this island, and from now on, you’ll be the Island Master of Star Island.”

Yuan Xi responded with a faint smile, “Thank you.”

Shi Zhen said, “I’m leaving now. Little Huohuo, kiss Mommy goodbye!”

Little Huohuo kissed Shi Zhen on her cheek, “Bye, Mommy!”

Shi Zhen came in a whirlwind and left just as quickly.

Yuan Xi, chuckling softly to Huo Shiyuan, said, “Your mom is quite adorable.”

While Shi Zhen was almost fifty, she gave Yuan Xi the impression of an eighteen-year-old girl, naive about the world, as if she had been sheltered in a beautiful ivory tower, getting annoyed over a diamond because it was soiled by infidelity.

Huo Shiyuan remarked, “I find you cuter.”

Yuan Xi was stunned; no one had ever described her as cute. Huo Shiyuan was the first.

After playing on the beach all day, even with sunscreen, Little Huohuo was sunburned, his skin visibly darker by evening, and exhausted, he fell asleep immediately at bedtime.

Yuan Xi felt it was still early for her to sleep while Huo Shiyuan was busy with a videoconference.

With nothing else to do, she checked Weibo and saw that the Pink Aurora diamond ring was trending at the top of the entertainment hot search list.

Yuan Xi opened the notification, and many people were mentioning her.

It turned out Chu Yan had just posted a new tweet:

“As long as you’re strong enough to crush all those who scheme against you. [pink diamond.jpg]”

The comment section was bustling.

Miss Chu, did you make me a nanny today: Wow, an exquisite nine-grid diamond ring, who’s scheming against you? Was Mr. Bo’s affair a setup?

Chu Yan replied below: Yes, it was plotted by someone. Some people marry poorly and can only live in self-built rural houses, unhappy with their own lives and begrudge others their happiness…

Many onlookers in the comments were tagging Yuan Xi.

gift: Is the CEO’s wife talking about @Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi?

Fake Jiangcheng Socialite: @Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi, is it true? Did you scheme Bo Fan’s affair?

Cure for Envy: @Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi, you marry a country man, why be jealous of Chu Yan’s successful marriage to the wealthy? Sure you’re more envious now seeing the beautiful pink diamond, huh?

Runaway Princess: @Mi Chen Game Yuan Xi, don’t be salty that Chu Yan married into a wealthy family in Jiang City. After all, the saying ‘well-matched in social and economic status’ holds true. You grew up in a village, so how can you compete with Chu Yan, who was raised in wealth?

Bao Yan replied to Runaway Princess: Indeed, the Young Madam of the Bo Family definitely needs to be well-educated, not just any village girl can assume that role. A three-billion diamond ring only truly suits my Yanyan. Some people, even if they had a three-billion diamond, it was never meant for them.

Chu Yan replied to Bao Yan: Thank you, sister.
