The little rose is so sweet and alluring, even the aloof CEO can't resist!

Lan Yin asked, "Sister Wei, have you found out about that necklace? Was it really auctioned in France?"

Liang Liangwei nodded: "I recognized it right away. I had seen the origin of the diamond on that necklace a few years ago. It was mined from a mine in Africa. Because it was very big and pure, it was valued at tens of millions when it was still a rough stone. Later, it was said that it was bought by a private person for processing, and the value of the finished product would only be higher."

"Later, the finished product was made into a necklace and appeared at the auction. It was also promoted globally for six months in advance. Before the auction, someone had bid up to 20 million. The owner did not sell it until it was auctioned off for 55 million."

Lan Yin exclaimed in surprise, "It really is fifty-five million?"

“I just didn’t expect it to end up in her hands,” Liang Liangwei said with a smirk. “It’s a pity I didn’t look at it closely at the time. If I had known it would be related to me, I would have definitely taken a good look at it.”

Lan Yin: "This kind of relationship is really not a good one."

She looked at Liang Liangwei, still worried: "Sister Wei, what if she really makes you pay for it?"

Liang Liangwei paused for a moment, then said calmly, "The diamond isn't broken, why should we compensate? If anyone should be compensated, it should be the platinum chain. How much would a brand new one cost?"

“Besides,” she said thoughtfully, “even if I really have to pay, putting aside the money, wouldn’t she still have to give me the diamond? I can just get a new chain and resell it, and the money will be back. These kinds of auction items are always in high demand but not in demand; there’s no worry about them not selling.”

Lan Yin's eyes lit up: "That's right, if that's the case, she's so silly. If it were me, I would keep the diamond. Even if they don't compensate me, or they only give me a platinum chain in return, the diamond is still in my hands. It's not a big loss."

Liang Liangwei smiled slightly: "That's the point of being smart."

So she wasn't really worried.

Now we're just waiting to see how Le Pei'er contacts her.

Lan Yin continued looking at the necklace's online information with her. As they looked, she suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Sister Wei, is there any information online saying that someone bought the necklace? Was it her?"

Liang Liangwei shook her head: "It shouldn't be. The news online says that it was bought by a mysterious Chinese businessman. Chinese means he's not from Panda Country, otherwise he would have stated his nationality."

That Chinese person probably wanted to keep it discreetly or give it away secretly, so they concealed their identity information to prevent outsiders from tracing it.

Lan Yin glanced around and lowered her voice, "Sister Wei, do you remember what Le Pei'er said unintentionally this morning?"

Liang Liangwei: "What?"

Lan Yin: "She said that this necklace was a gift from her uncle. Could her uncle be that mysterious Chinese-American tycoon?"

Liang Liangwei recalled that it seemed Le Peier had indeed said that. At the time, they were all focused on the necklace and didn't notice her unrelated matter.

Lan Yin: "Is her family very rich? Her uncle is rich, and she's a big star, so her parents must be very rich too, right? But... why would her uncle give her a necklace worth over 50 million as a birthday gift? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

As the story progressed, I was quite taken aback.

Whose uncle is so extravagant? If you know anyone, introduce me to a dozen of them!

Liang Liangwei immediately checked Le Peier's public information online: "It says that her father is a high school teacher and her mother is a local theater actress."

Lan Yin: "That's quite ordinary. Is it only my uncle who became wealthy? But fifty-five million... Doesn't her aunt have any objections?"

Liang Liangwei pondered for a moment, and then she and Lan Yin looked at each other, both seeing a meaningful look in each other's eyes.

It seems this "uncle" isn't an "uncle" in the ordinary sense.

Two hours later, the plane landed at Hwaseong Airport.

Liang Liangwei retrieved her luggage and, together with Lan Yin, pushed it toward the parking lot.

She sent Yan Zhixu a message saying she had landed, but he didn't reply yet, probably because he was busy. She didn't send another message and drove straight to the company.

I ordered takeout at the office to satisfy my hunger, took a nap, and then got up to work on my afternoon schedule.

During this time, Yan Zhixu sent a message saying that he was having a working lunch with his partner. Because of the tight schedule in the port city, the two sides chatted while eating lunch, making the most of every minute to finalize the details.

In the afternoon, I had to rush to inspect the construction progress at the site, so I was working non-stop.

After a long day at get off work, Liang Liangwei stretched and prepared to pack her things to go home.

I'm going to take a nice bath and get some rest tonight!

Su Xiaorong knocked and came in, crossed her arms and leaned against the door, looking at her with a lazy smile: "Finished with work?"

Liang Liangwei put the tablet into her bag, glanced at her, and said, "Yeah, I'm getting ready to go home. What about you?"

“I’ll stay a little longer,” Su Xiaorong said, raising her chin. “Nannan asked me to ask you when you’re arranging to meet your man?”

Liang Liangwei: "I just got back and you guys are already nagging me. If you keep nagging me like this, you'll get wrinkles!"

Su Xiaorong snorted, "Who told you to be our studio's chief stylist? Your schedule is so busy. Do you think we'd wait for you to schedule all your time for clients if we didn't push you? Stop beating around the bush, tell me, which day are you scheduled for?!"

Liang Liangwei smiled helplessly, "He'll be back tomorrow, but I haven't confirmed the exact date with him yet. I'll ask him again tomorrow."

Su Xiaorong: "Alright, starting tomorrow I'll nag you every day until you have nowhere to run away~"

Liang Liangwei tilted her head and smiled, "Then I'll make arrangements when you stop urging me."

Su Xiaorong was both amused and exasperated, and spat out, "You'd better watch out, Gao Nan might be even more ruthless than me."

Liang Liangwei slung her bag chain over her shoulder, took her phone, and pushed her suitcase over, asking, "Where is she?"

Su Xiaorong: "She went to find her younger brother."

Gao Nan is from another province. She has no elders in her family and only has a younger brother. When she went to university, she transferred her household registration to the location of her school. After graduation, she chose to stay in Huacheng to start her own business and transferred her younger brother, who was in the first year of high school, to study in Huacheng.

My younger brother lives at school, so we can only see each other on weekends.

But today isn't the weekend, so why has it passed already?

Su Xiaorong noticed her question and shrugged, "It seems she got into a fight, and the school sent her to handle it."

Liang Liangwei: "Having a younger brother is really a headache."

Su Xiaorong: "Her younger brother is usually quite well-behaved, but I don't know what he did to offend him this time."

As the two chatted, Liang Liangwei walked to the company's front desk, waved to her, and said, "I'm leaving, bye-bye."

That evening, Liang Liangwei and Yan Zhixu had a video chat.

He drank some more alcohol and was slightly tipsy when he returned to the hotel. He sat on the sofa, holding his phone in one hand and pulling at his shirt collar with the other, his dark eyes gleaming as he looked at her.

"We'll meet tomorrow." His voice was low and a little hoarse from drinking.

Liang Liangwei lay on the bed, her phone propped up on the pillow. She tilted her head to look at him. She had just taken a shower, and her cheeks were rosy. She smiled with her lips pursed, revealing shallow dimples. She was charming and beautiful.

"Hmm," she replied lazily, "Did you take any hangover medicine after drinking?"

Yan Zhixu: "Let's eat later, let me check on you first."
