Jiang Ruoli's fingertips paused on the crown, "Is this the one that Sotheby's auctioned that year?"

"Yes," the female supervisor leaned over and answered her. "This emerald diamond tiara is the only one in the world and cannot be replicated. It is made of 38 rare teardrop-shaped green emeralds and diamonds, weighing a total of 500 carats. It was also the best-selling piece at Sotheby's auction that year."

Only the unique is precious.

"Ah."

Jiang Ruoli nodded and continued to scroll down.

Blue diamonds, pink diamonds, and diamonds of all types flashed before her eyes. None of them were less than 10 carats. Pigeon eggs were nothing. They were simply not worth mentioning.

She flipped through the pages one by one, and the female supervisor stood beside her, serving her respectfully.

The cell phone rings.

Huo Xingzhou made a gesture to answer the phone and left the living room.

As soon as he left, Jiang Ruoli simply put the IPAD on the sofa.

The female supervisor looked puzzled.

As the head of the Asia-Pacific region, she had seen all kinds of guests, but this was her first time serving the Huo family.

Rumor has it that Huo Xingzhou is moody, not interested in women, and his interest in jewelry is limited to whether it has investment value. It is surprising that such a noble and arrogant man is so generous to his wife.

But Mrs. Huo in front of him didn't even blink when faced with the luxurious jewelry.

Didn't she like it at all?

It turns out that Huo Xingzhou really dotes her on him.

Jiang Ruoli didn't say anything, and the female supervisor didn't dare to speak easily.

The living room was silent.

Huo Xingzhou finished his call and came in from outside. Jiang Ruoli heard the voice, turned her head, and called out coquettishly, "Hubby, I can't choose."

"Can you help me?"

Female Supervisor: .....

Staff: ...

Sure enough, you can't have your cake and eat it too, but you can be poor and single.

Huo Xingzhou unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, rolled them up, and walked over to sit next to Jiang Ruoli. His eyes were deep, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. He put his arm around her waist, lowered his eyes and asked her, "Can't choose?"

"Ah."

"Nothing in particular?"

Jiang Ruoli actually liked them all, but she pretended to be distressed and said deliberately, "They all look beautiful. If I buy them all, it will cost a lot of money, right?"

"Money?" Huo Xingzhou tilted his head and gently touched her forehead. He said calmly, "Don't worry about money. Although I don't have much money, I still have a few hundred million to spend."

Jiang Ruoli: “…”

Simple?

Hundreds of millions of disposable funds?

No money?

Is this what people say?

Rich and powerful.

Seeing her struggling, Huo Xingzhou hooked her hair with his fingertips and smiled lightly, "Since you can't choose, then buy them all and take your time to choose later."

At last.

Apart from the emerald diamond crown, Jiang Ruoli did not buy everything as Huo Xingzhou asked. She only picked out the two most low-key necklaces in the jewelry box. They were said to be the works of Aditudo designer. There were only two of them in the world, and they happened to be the same ones as her best friend.

It’s not that she doesn’t want it, but seeing that Huo Xingzhou’s favorability value is shaky, she is afraid that she will be too greedy and return to the pre-liberation era overnight.

No matter how meticulous your escape plan is, it will be useless without money.

She planned to proceed step by step, taking money from Huo Xingzhou bit by bit until they divorced. Who wouldn't be a rich woman by then?

......

In the evening.

Jiang Ruoli planned to ask Tang Jiujiu out for a meeting. Just as she went out, she received a call from Jiang's family, saying that Bai Jing was in the hospital because of the old lady's matter and attempted suicide. Now the house is in a mess, so she asked her to go back.

She hung up the phone directly.

Not long after, Jiang's mother Li Wenhui called again. Her attitude was not as arrogant as before. Instead, she spoke in a gentle tone and tried to negotiate with her, saying that she hoped she would let Huo Xingzhou help her because Bai Jing was her sister.

Jiang Ruoli always believed that the innocent will be cleared. What's more, the water in the enamel cup was found to contain thallium, and the fingerprints on the cup belonged to Old Lady Zhang and Bai Jing.

She cannot escape responsibility.

"Jingjing really didn't poison the old lady. She was framed." Jiang's mother said in an almost pleading tone, "Ali, Mom is begging you, please help her, okay? If she's charged with murder, her life will be ruined."

Jiang Ruoli didn't want to argue with her, as that would make the gap between them never reconciled.

Under Jiang's mother's repeated pleading, she finally agreed to talk to Bai Jing, but on the condition that she would not return to the Jiang family.

She still understands the principle that a sheep walks into the tiger's mouth.

Who knows if the Jiang family is deliberately putting on an act. If that happens, she will be left alone and helpless, and she will be the one who suffers.

Seeing that she agreed, Jiang's mother said yes repeatedly.

The two agreed to meet in the VIP ward of the hospital.

......

In the ward.

The nurse came in to adjust the IV for Bai Jing and found that she had pulled out the needle and did not press the needle hole, so dark red blood flowed all over the back of her hand.

"Miss Bai!"

The nurse was shocked and hurried to help her deal with the back of her hand. After wiping off the blood, she found that she was not removing the needle at all, but directly pulling out the needle. A long cut was made on the back of her fair hand, which looked particularly shocking.

Bai Jing didn't even raise her eyes while the nurse was treating her wounds, as if she had lost her soul.

The nurse was very worried and was about to call the doctor. When she turned around, she saw the ward door being pushed open from the outside, and Jiang's mother walked in with Jiang Ruoli.

"I want to talk to her alone." Jiang Ruoli said.

Mother Jiang nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

After the two left, only Jiang Ruoli and Bai Jing were left in the ward.

Bai Jing leaned against the headboard, tilted her pale face up, and laughed at herself, "Jiang Ruoli, you came here to laugh at me too, right? Are you satisfied now?"

"Satisfied?" Jiang Ruoli sat down on the sofa opposite her, brushed her long hair, and said with a smile, "With the horrible look you have now, I'm still not satisfied."

Bai Jing: "You..."

Bai Jing's breath caught in her chest and she asked loudly, "What else do you want?"

"Because of you, I lost my love, my career, and everything that originally belonged to me was taken away by you. Aren't you satisfied?"

Jiang Ruoli slowly raised her eyes, her charming face cold as ice. "Bai Jing, do you think this is fun? If you really poisoned the old lady, then admit it openly. If not, then try to clear yourself up and commit suicide? Who do you think will sympathize with you? Fans? Netizens? Besides watching the show, what can they do for you?"

"Also, lost love? Where does your love come from? Huo Xingzhou has never liked you from the beginning to the end. I think you know this better than anyone else."

"I never took anything from you. If you can't keep it yourself, don't blame others."

"That would just make you look incredibly stupid!"

Her words were like a sharp knife piercing Bai Jing's heart.
