A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

“Achen, it’s Mom’s fault. I always thought you were too smart, too wise, and too sensible. Only now do I realize that when I gave birth to you, I should have pulled out that smart part of you too.”

"mom!"

Ji Chen almost had his wound reopened from anger at his mother's words. "Am I still your biological son? Why are you being so sarcastic? I'm your most beloved son. Haven't you always said I'm your pride and joy?"

You've become arrogant too early; you're already on top of the world now.

Ji's mother complained that she and Ji's father started from scratch, from having nothing to achieving some success. They had worked hard to build their business step by step, and they had thought they would live a peaceful life together.

Three years ago, the wedding of the Xu family caused a huge uproar, but what no one expected was that Ji's father would bring Ji Chen to the Xu family.

What kind of status does the Xu family have? Compared to the Ji family, it's like heaven and earth. She has heard the name Xu Shuli more than once. She is a benchmark in the entire high society circle.

When Xu Shuli is mentioned, all that comes to mind are words of praise and admiration. People praise her beauty and talent, and over time, they also develop high expectations for her.

Until that day, when the young master of the Luo family disappeared without a trace, and the Xu and Ji families reached an agreement, with Ji Chen becoming Xu Shuli's fiancé, she finally came to her senses.

As a result, the Ji family stepped into the ranks of the four lesser families, and only then did their good days begin to take off.

She was also very clear that everything they had was because of the Xu family. But everyone could see this clearly, yet Ji Chen was still like a child, unable to distinguish right from wrong or make sense of what was important.

Mother Ji wore a loose-fitting long dress with delicate floral satin, looking quite wealthy. She sighed, realizing that she herself hadn't understood everything, which had led her foolish son astray step by step.

"Fine, fine, I won't say much more to you now, but I won't allow you to get involved in Song Yuanyuan's mess again. I've said it before, she's like a drop of ink; if she falls into your clear water, she'll stain you black too. What do I have to say for you to willingly stay away from her?"

Ji's mother pleaded earnestly, almost tearing her heart out of her, "Achen, your father and I are getting old. Do you expect us to worry about the company for you? You're not a child anymore. You need to be more mature and thoughtful."

"Our Ji Group will eventually be handed over to you, but how can we two feel at ease handing the company over to you in the state you are in now?"

"mom…"

Ji Chen spoke with difficulty, "I know it's all my fault. I wasn't mature enough, I wasn't good enough, but Yuanyuan is innocent..."

"..."

"Mom, I promise you, if you help me one last time, I will definitely be a good person and support our company. Mom, please help me one last time, consider this a perfect end to this relationship. From now on, she and I will go our separate ways and never know each other again."

"you…"

"Mom, really, I swear."

After all, he is her only son, and the child she has doted on since he was a child. He spoke so sadly and aggrievedly, how could a mother be heartless and refuse him again?

"Okay, this is the last time. If I get her out of trouble this time, and you still can't do it again and again, and you still have lingering ties with her, then don't blame your father and me for not showing you any mercy, and don't blame your father and me for not wanting you as our son."

"Thank you... Mom!"

……

……

The two had a simple meal in the afternoon. Xu Shuli then realized that she had not yet replied to Xu Qiluo's message. After looking at it for a while, she called him again.

The message was blocked, and a WeChat message was sent instead.

Brother: Sister, I'm at the library. Nothing serious. Go home early. That scoundrel loves to act like a rascal.

Xu Shuli "..."

The grudges and grievances between these two are unlikely to be resolved anytime soon.

Xu Shuli came back and found out. She wanted to find a charger to charge her phone and found a power bank next to the sofa.

"Yaoyao...I've prepared a gift for you."

Luo Yunqi went out for a while, and when he came back, he was carrying two wooden boxes. They were dark brown and square, decorated with gems and gold, and looked exceptionally exquisite.

"What have you prepared?"

Xu Shuli had a feeling that she would really like the thing he brought over, and that he had put a lot of effort into it.

"A small gift, I hope you like it."

If people in the know found out that their CEO described something worth hundreds of millions as a small gift, they'd probably cry themselves to death in the bathroom.

Luo Yunqi sat down next to her and handed her the box in his hand. He thought it was an ordinary box, but when he took it, he was surprised to find that it was engraved with lifelike 12 zodiac animals and the words "Fu Rui" (福瑞, meaning good fortune). It was exquisitely crafted, beautiful, and had a heavy weight. The box also emitted a faint sandalwood fragrance.

"this…"

Even Xu Shuli, who has seen countless wonderful things, was filled with love for this gift and this box.

“I had this sandalwood specially blessed and placed in a temple for many years. It has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, as well as the most beautiful and pure blessings from countless people. Now I have made this sandalwood into a gift box to hold my most precious things and give it to my dearest Yaoyao.”

Luo Yunqi took her hand and placed it on the other side of the box, where there was a small opening. With a gentle press, the box opened.

A beautiful and exquisite pink diamond ring and a necklace, the moment they were opened, reflected the light overhead, creating a pink world that burst open before our eyes.

"What a nice view…"

She was a girl too, and no girl dislikes such exquisite jewelry. As soon as Xu Shuli saw these two chains, she knew that she must have put in a lot of effort.

When did you start preparing?

She picked up the ring. Pink diamonds are not uncommon, but a pink diamond so clear and transparent, without any impurities, is extremely rare. A gold wire border encircled and supported a pure pink diamond. In addition, there was a jewelry necklace with a very stylish design, which was particularly dazzling under the light.

"I originally planned to put this ring on your finger myself on our engagement day, but after what happened, I kept the ring and later had someone find a pink diamond of the same value and color to make this necklace."

Luo Yunqi stroked her cheek. They had known each other for so many years, and he could clearly see even the slightest expression on her face.

"Yaoyao, don't think these things are valuable. Compared to you, these things are nothing."

Xu Shuli raised her hand, her ten fingers slender and the tips red. Because of years of painting, there were small calluses on the pads of her index finger and thumb.

"Since you've already bought it, then put it on me."
