Yu Yanqing narrowed her eyes, her gaze instinctively falling on Luo Xi’s neck. Seeing that she was only wearing a strangely shaped jade pendant from an ordinary red cord, she raised an eyebrow. “Miss Luo Xi, that jade is quite unusual. It doesn’t really match your outfit. Would you like me to take a look and help you find something more suitable?”
Everyone’s attention was suddenly drawn to the blood jade pendant around Luo Xi’s neck.
“I know this kind of jade, but its meaning isn’t very good. Why would you wear something like that?”
“Yes, and that red string is so ugly. It looks so ordinary. It can’t be worth much, right?”
“That’s right. The Leng family is so stingy. They didn’t even get Young Madam Leng a nice accessory?”
“Yanqing’s ruby is much prettier. Sister Yanqing, how much was your ruby? Share with us so we can all have a reference.”
Yu Yanqing curled her lips. “I’m too embarrassed to show mine. I’m curious about Miss Luo Xi’s jade pendant. It must be worth a lot of money, right?”
Laughter erupted from the surrounding people.
Some didn’t even know what kind of jade it was, but just looking at its shape made them think it wasn’t anything special.
Luo Xi was puzzled as to how the conversation had shifted to her. She frowned slightly and looked at Yu Yanqing. “How much did your ruby cost?”
Yu Yanqing smiled. “Not much, just around 200 million.”
Gasps filled the room.
200 million?
That was an astronomical sum!
No wonder she was giving away jewelry worth tens of millions. It seemed that the young madam of the Yang family was extravagant, and now it seemed she was indeed extraordinary.
“Oh.”
Luo Xi replied with little enthusiasm, a single word.
Yu Yanqing immediately shot her a displeased look.
“Looks like Miss Luo Xi doesn’t seem impressed by my 200 million ruby.”
“Indeed, not impressed at all.”
Luo Xi set down her fork and elegantly wiped her mouth.
A flash of anger crossed Yu Yanqing’s face. “Oh really? I’m curious how much your jade pendant is worth to make the Young Madam of the Leng family so bold in her words.”
“Not much, just a little over three times what yours is worth.”
Over three times? So that’s around 600 to 700 million?
The people around her thought they must have misheard and looked at her in disbelief.
Yu Yanqing looked incredulous.
Someone couldn’t help but say, “As far as I know, isn’t that blood jade only worth a million or tens of millions at most? It can’t possibly reach a hundred million, right? Are you joking, Young Madam Leng?”
Luo Xi blinked. “That depends on whether you believe it or not.”
Leng Me’er rolled her eyes and said, “I can testify that this was a gift from my brother to my sister-in-law. It was bought for 700 million at an auction. My aunt and cousin Lin Xuan were both there and can confirm it.”
When she heard Lin Xuan’s words back then, she was extremely jealous.
Now she just felt relieved.
These people were really funny compared to Luo Xi.
Gifts from her brother were all calculated in hundreds of millions, okay?
As she spoke, the crowd turned their gaze towards Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan looked displeased and didn’t say a word.
But given her expression, everyone could roughly guess the situation.
Luo Xi might be exaggerating, but Leng Me’er certainly wouldn’t be, considering her family’s reputation.
Yu Yanqing’s eyes flickered, then she smiled and said, “I guess I was mistaken. But surely that blood jade can’t be worth that much money, right?” She looked at Luo Xi.
Luo Xi smiled back. “What can I say? It’s priceless when it brings me happiness.”
