Jiang Li was not used to the sudden silence. He turned to look at Luo Ning'er and found that she was staring at a diamond earring in a daze.

"If you like this earring, you can buy it."

"Ah? No, I was just looking." She really couldn't see how such simple earrings could be worth that price.

Luo Ning'er put down the earring and continued shopping with Jiang Li.

Luo Ning'er's eyes moved among the dazzling array of jewelry in the store, finally stopping on an exquisite necklace.

It was a necklace inlaid with tiny diamonds. The main stone was a sapphire as warm as water, surrounded by tiny diamonds, like the brightest star in the night sky, noble and gentle.

She gently lifted the necklace and examined it closely under the light, her eyes gleaming with unconcealed admiration. She scrutinized every detail, admiring the dazzling brilliance of the gemstones. Like twinkling stars in the night sky, they were beautiful and captivating. She imagined Jiang Li wearing the necklace, captivated by it.

Luo Ning'er immediately felt that the necklace was a perfect match for Jiang Li. Not only the dress, but also her temperament was also very suitable.

"Sister, what do you think of this necklace? Doesn't it match your dress?" Luo Ning'er shook Jiang Li gently, wanting her to express her opinion.

Jiang Li wasn't interested in what to wear or what to wear, she was only interested in her own mission. Therefore, she didn't express any opinions.

However, Luo Ning'er's intimacy with her surprised her. She thought her arrival would displease Luo Ning'er and that she would try to drive her out. She had been acting in front of Luo's father and mother before, but now that they were alone, her true colors would be revealed. She had never expected Luo Ning'er to be so intimate with her.

"Ah, since you don't have any objections, let's just stick with this one for now. If we find a better one later, we can change it."

Seeing that Jiang Li had no objection, Luo Ning'er wanted the clerk to wrap up the necklace.

Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't even looked at the price yet, so she subconsciously glanced at the price tag.

However, when she saw the number on the price tag, she was instantly silent.

The price tag clearly read: "2,880,000.00"

Luo Ning'er counted silently: "One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million..."

Her eyes widened, and an indescribable shock welled up in her heart.

Although she had expected it would not be cheap, she did not expect it to be so expensive. However, when she thought that it was not her own money, Luo Ning'er let it go.

Just as I was about to ask the clerk to pack it, I heard a female voice, "I want this!" The voice was very crisp, with a sense of unquestionability.

Luo Ning'er turned around and saw a girl in a lavender dress approaching. This person was none other than Luo Ning'er's "rival" and mortal enemy, Lin Qi. In the book, the two of them had a huge quarrel over the male protagonist, Lu Jin'an, but the male protagonist didn't like either of them. He liked the female protagonist, Jiang Li.

"Sorry, we saw this first." Luo Ning'er said to the clerk.

The clerk said to Lin Qi with some embarrassment, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry, this lady came first..."

"It doesn't matter who came first. What matters is who can afford a higher price. And you didn't pay for it." Looking at Luo Ning'er, Lin Qi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a provocative smile.

Luo Ning'er frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

"Oh? Then how much do you think you can offer?" Luo Ning'er raised her eyebrows, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

The girl smiled slightly, took out a black card from her bag, handed it to the clerk, and said lightly: "There are five million in it, which should be enough to buy this necklace."

The clerk took the black card in surprise, then looked at Luo Ning'er, as if asking what she meant.

Luo Ning'er was secretly surprised. Five million is no small sum! But she didn't back down. Instead, she laughed and said, "Five million? You're really willing to spend that much. However, I'm determined to get this necklace, so I'll offer eight million!"

The girl clearly hadn't expected Luo Ning'er to raise the price so decisively. Her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She smiled softly and said, "Eight million? Very good, then I'll offer ten million!"

Everyone was shocked by this astonishing number and started talking about it.

Luo Ning'er secretly groaned in her heart. She didn't know what the credit limit of the card that Luo's mother gave her was, but she didn't want to give up easily, so she decided to ask Jiang Li for help.

Jiang Li didn't want to interrupt, but when she saw Luo Ning'er's pleading look and thought of her intimacy with him, Jiang Li's heart couldn't help but soften. What's more, this was the necklace she bought for him.

Jiang Li stepped forward, her eyes brimming with confidence and determination, her tone resolute. "No matter how much Miss Lin offers, we'll give her one yuan more. But are you sure you want to pay ten million for this necklace?" Her voice was soft, but it reached everyone present. Like a boulder dropped into a calm lake, it stirred a furor. Everyone looked at the young woman, wondering if she was truly willing to pay for the necklace.

According to the information Jiang Li has, the only families in Hai City that can compete with the Luo family are the Shen family and the Mu family.

The clerk had just told him that the woman's surname was Lin. Therefore, whether out of a desire to avoid offending the Luo family or for any other reason, it was unlikely that the Lin family's parents would agree to Lin Qi buying the necklace.

If Lin Qi insisted on buying it and taking it home, once Lin's parents found out, they would know that Lin Qi spent such a huge amount of money to buy a necklace that was worth more than twice its value and also offended the Luo family. They would definitely punish Lin Qi.

After saying that, Jiang Li's gaze fell on Luo Ning'er, as if telling her that no matter what the outcome, she would support her to the end.

At this moment, Lin Qi suddenly said, "Forget it. Who wants this ugly necklace? I don't want it." After that, she turned and left the jewelry store.

Luo Ning'er was stunned, not knowing how to react. The clerk cautiously asked her if she still wanted to buy the necklace.

In the end, Luo Ning'er bought the necklace at the original price and paid the full amount. The moment the payment was successful, she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this farce was finally over.

Luo Ning'er held the packaged necklace with a bright smile on her face. She excitedly handed the necklace to Jiang Li, who took it very naturally.

"Sister, when you wear that blue dress at the banquet, paired with this necklace, you will definitely look stunning."

Looking at the bright smile on Luo Ning'er's face, Jiang Li felt very warm.
