“I’m going to Xianghai in a few days to discuss ‘Woke’ matters. I probably won’t be in Beijing for the rest of the month. Call me anytime if anything happens, okay? Don’t keep it all bottled up inside. It’s hard to find a good woman, but there are plenty of men out there!”
Lin Qiao glanced amusedly at Xie Xunwen, who was pretending not to hear, and patted her reassuringly.
“Don’t worry! Do you think I’m the kind of person who’d die for a little romance?”
“That’s hard to say, after all, your first relationship ended up with that deadpan guy!” Bai Mengying said.
As if she remembered something, she took a small handbag out of her shoulder bag in the trunk.
“You weren’t in the dorm at that time because you went to look at apartments, so Ji Nian and Xiaoyu asked me to give these to you. Next time you see him, throw these necklaces in his face and make that deadpan guy take his trash back. We don’t want them!”
Lin Qiao took them. Inside were the Lilong necklaces that Su Zhengxing had given to each of them in the dorm. She wanted to say that her roommates didn’t need to turn down money, but she also knew that they were speaking up for her because they didn’t know the whole story, so she was still touched.
“Okay, okay, I got it! Goodbye is good, the next one will be even better! I remember everything you taught me!” Lin Qiao hugged her.
Bai Mengying hugged her back and said sincerely, “Lin Qiao, be happy!”
“I will.”
Yes, I will.
Lin Qiao answered in her heart.
After seeing Bai Mengying off, Lin Qiao went back to her dormitory to pack her things. She would be handing over her dormitory keys in a few days, so she needed to move out quickly. Luckily, she had bought a ready-to-move-in apartment, fully furnished, so she could move in immediately.
While packing, she noticed the tote bag Bai Mengying had given her and prepared to put her necklace in it.
She had hidden the necklace in the closet because it was too valuable, and she was worried about its safety if she left it on the table.
When she reached in to retrieve it, she accidentally dropped it. The velvet gift box rolled a few times on the floor.
Lin Qiao picked it up, blew off the dust, and only when she wiped it did she realize that the gift box was actually double-layered, with switches on both sides.
Curious, she opened the back compartment, and inside lay a silver ring, set with a pink diamond the size of a fingernail.
The pink diamond, devoid of superfluous embellishments, was pure and clear, with clean facets, sparkling brilliantly under the refraction of light.
Lin Qiao quickly checked the other boxes, but none of them had such a mechanism.
This gift box was given to her by Su Zhengxing. It was obvious that he was the one who put the diamond ring there, but why didn’t he say so directly at the time?
If she had discovered the ring earlier, she could have asked him sooner. Now that their cooperation had ended and they had parted ways, contacting him again seemed rather strange.
While Lin Qiao hesitated, she casually searched online based on the English inscription on the inside of the ring. What she found shocked her!
Good heavens!
This was an antique from some European royal family over a hundred years ago!
The kind that had been auctioned!
Help!
Thank goodness she discovered it. If she hadn’t discovered it and carelessly thrown the box away, she would have lost the house she had worked so hard to buy!
Damn it! Giving her such an expensive gift without even a word is like dropping a bomb on her without telling her!
Lin Qiao didn’t dare waste a second, quickly stuffed the ring back in, packed her things, and headed to Baitian.
