No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

Once inside the elevator, the doors closed.

Shen Bao'er couldn't resist adding her own comment, "Just because you know a few basic dance moves doesn't mean you can show off like that. You're not even as good as me. Huahua... I saw you dance once back in high school. If you had kept practicing, you would definitely be better than Song Qingran."

If Bao'er hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Hua would have almost forgotten that she used to practice dancing for Ji Liangchuan. He said that she would look very good if she danced, so even though Jiang Hua had a heart condition, she still went to learn. She only danced once, during the school anniversary performance.

Ji Liangchuan was also present at the time. His departure that year dealt a heavy blow to her, and Jiang Hua never touched him again.

Jiang Hua: "I'm not interested in comparing myself to her."

“That’s true. Compared to a country bumpkin like her, it’s beneath me.” As she spoke, Shen Bao’er snuggled closer to the fragrant Jiang Hua, hugging her tightly, unwilling to let go. Then, she suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, “Oh, right, I remember now. Let me tell you, this Song Qingran is so annoying! She’s such a copycat. I heard from my girlfriends that Song Qingran somehow found out you switched majors to jewelry restoration, so she started copying you and enrolled in an elective course in jewelry restoration. Now, she’s really gotten herself into trouble. She says she goes to the library every day looking for restoration case studies, but she hasn’t found any. Last time, she almost got locked up in the library.”

This idiot is absolutely hilarious. She wants to compete with you? Do you even think she can beat you?

"She doesn't even look at herself. The documents she has were left behind by Aunt Jiang. I don't even know as much as she does..."

Jiang Hua raised her slender eyebrows slightly. Could it be that Song Qingran, such a smart person, did not know beforehand that jewelry restoration was not only difficult to graduate from, but also a thankless and arduous task?

Otherwise, Fang Liang wouldn't still be a graduate student. It's because there are so few cases where one can actually access expensive and priceless jewelry that there's nowhere to study it.

Apart from the Angel's Tear, which is currently in the museum, there are no other examples of restoration work.

"Do you think she's been driven mad by us?"

Jiang Hua said, "Song Qingran does have a certain talent in jewelry design, but she doesn't realize that people and things can never be perfect at the same time. If she's just interested and wants to learn about it, that's fine. But even the most talented person will fail at everything if they become half-hearted."

"She wants to compete with me; she's just picked the wrong person."

"She is not worthy to be my opponent."

Shen Bao'er nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's right, our Huahua is the best!"

Jiang Hua felt that she was a little too obsessed with her, like a clingy person.

When Jiang Hua was little, she offended Shen Yebai and didn't dare to play with her. Shen Bao'er then brought her a doll to please her, but... at that time, Jiang Hua didn't fall for it and instead took the lead in isolating Bao'er.

Every time Jiang Hua was with other friends, Bao'er would stand by and look at her pitifully.

Looking back now, Jiang Hua was indeed quite a jerk at times.

Jiang Hua had never felt this kind of guilt towards anyone else.

So... when Shen Bao'er went to the international shopping mall to choose her school anniversary performance outfit, Jiang Hua paid for it for her.

A light-colored plaid maxi dress in a fresh, minimalist style cost 50,000 yuan, and Jiang Hua swiped her card for it without even blinking. Of course, it wasn't just that one dress; there were also many hair accessories and shoes, totaling over 100,000 to 200,000 yuan in total…

This amount of money wasn't much for Jiang Hua...

The remaining clothes were sent to Shen's home by other sales staff.

While Shen Bao'er was changing her clothes, a manager in a black suit walked up to Jiang Hua and said, "Ms. Jiang, hello."

Jiang Hua looked up from her phone. "What's up?"

The manager said, "Ms. Jiang, you are our mall's most valued VIP customer, so we specially tailored this piece of jewelry for you. It's a gift made especially for you. I wonder if you like it?"

The other party opened the black velvet box, inside which lay an unparalleled blue gemstone bracelet. Jiang Hua had always had a strong sensitivity to gemstones since childhood, and she felt that it looked familiar. "Isn't this the sapphire from Christie's?" she wondered. Christie's was auctioned off last year to an unseen heir of the Huo family from abroad for more than 18 million US dollars. She would not mistake this heart-shaped blue gemstone.

The manager's face stiffened, but due to his exceptional responsiveness, he maintained his composure and smiled as he said, "Miss Jiang, you're joking. Christie's weight is 180 carats, and the five gemstones in this complimentary bracelet each weigh around 50 carats. It's not like what you're saying at all."

Is that so?

"The style is indeed quite nice." The design really caught her eye. Jiang Hua picked it up and tried it on. The size was just right for her wrist and suited her skin tone. "Okay, I'll take it."

"Please tell the boss behind you that I like this very much."

The manager secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately beamed, "I'm glad Miss Jiang likes it."

"If you accumulate a certain amount of spending at the mall, you will receive a small gift carefully selected by the mall group every year on your birthday and holidays. Anything you like will be delivered to your home within an hour."

Just as Jiang Hua was about to say something, the dressing room door opened, and Bao'er came out wearing a dress. "Huahua, do you think it looks good? I feel so awkward in this outfit?"

What are you wearing on your hand? It's so pretty!

Shen Bao'er walked over and looked at the bracelet on Jiang Hua's wrist. "You like it? I'll give it to you."

"No!" the manager immediately stopped him.

"Why not!" Shen Bao'er asked angrily.

The manager quickly came up with an excuse, saying, "This bracelet has a unique serial number with Ms. Jiang's personal information recorded on it. It wouldn't be very appropriate for Ms. Shen to wear it."

"Actually, we also carefully selected and prepared a separate set for Miss Shen, but we didn't take it out just now because you weren't here."

"Please wait a moment, I will have someone fetch it right away."

Hearing him say that, Shen Bao'er's expression softened considerably.

When the manager brought Shen Bao'er's gift, it was a pink diamond necklace, which was quite exquisite in both style and workmanship.

Shen Bao'er took a liking to it at first sight and couldn't stop loving it.

However, Jiang Hua noticed something amiss. The bracelet in her hand was far less valuable than the one Jiang Hua was wearing. Seeing that she liked it, she didn't spoil the mood.

After buying the clothes, Jiang Hua gave her a similar bracelet as she left.

After the person left, the mall manager felt relieved and immediately made a phone call to report the situation.

He spoke respectfully: "...The task you assigned has been completed. Miss Jiang is very satisfied with the bracelet. She said she likes it very much and asked me to convey her gratitude to you."
