Chapter 1234: Chapter 1234: Heart of the Ocean
"But when he left, his face didn’t look good. Did you two have a fight?"
Su Li awkwardly scratched her head; she slept like a log last night, unaware that Feng Huaijin had come.
Su Li picked up a piece of breakfast bread, took a fierce bite, and said, "He probably waited in vain because I didn’t wake up. It’s nothing."
With no class this morning, Su Li decided not to go to school.
Xiao Mian had class, while Xu Haohao was making up for sleep in the bedroom due to the excitement of her date with Feng Huaimu last night.
After breakfast, Su Li went to her bedroom, took out the large blue diamond the size of a newborn’s arm from the safe, and drove away from the villa.
Earl Jewelry is a well-known jewelry brand both domestically and internationally, with countless branches worldwide. It boasts world-class jewelry design masters and is a favorite among socialites from major affluent families.
Su Li gently adjusted the sunglasses on her nose and walked in.
The jewelry store staff gasped in surprise upon seeing Su Li, "Miss Su Li?"
Miss Su Li is quite the celebrity now, comparable to a B-list actress, and many people recognize her.
She’s a big shot whose family owns mines, and she’s even been featured in prime-time news broadcasts! Truly an exemplary figure among women.
The clerk excitedly welcomed Su Li and courteously asked, "Is Miss Su here to buy jewelry? Which type are you interested in?"
Su Li smiled and shook her head, took a small box out of her pocket, and placed it on the glass counter, "This is a blue diamond. I think only Earl Jewelry can help me customize it."
Her words were beautifully spoken, making the clerks all smile, feeling even more favorable toward her. Miss Su Li didn’t show a hint of diva-like temperament.
When the staff cautiously opened the box and saw the blue diamond inside, they were dazzled. One of them quickly contacted the branch manager to come over and assist.
Upon hearing that Su Li had arrived, the manager rushed over quickly and appeared at the store entrance in no time, slightly out of breath.
"Heart of the Ocean?" The manager, evidently discerning, exclaimed in shock upon seeing the diamond on the glass counter.
In the next moment, the manager angrily reprimanded the clerks, "What are you standing around for? Close the door! Hurry up and shut down the store!"
Huh?
"This is the Heart of the Ocean. If it gets stolen by some criminal, even eighteen generations of our ancestors couldn’t afford to pay for it! Hurry." The manager scolded furiously, then turned to Su Li with flattery, "Miss Su Li, let’s discuss this in the inner hall."
Su Li felt quite surprised, wondering if it was really... that exaggerated?
A group of clerks hurriedly closed the store, and Su Li was ushered into the inner hall to sit down and drink tea.
Su Li said, "Manager, no need to be so tense. It’s just a diamond; please find Earl Jewelry’s renowned jewelry designer to craft it into a gift for me."
The manager looked at Su Li oddly and hesitated before saying, "Miss Su Li, I know your distinguished status surely makes you perceive this jewelry as not particularly expensive. But... this is the Heart of the Ocean."
Su Li was even more puzzled; she knew it was the Heart of the Ocean—her senior, Lin Moli, had given it to her.
The manager, seeing Su Li’s lack of understanding but not daring to deceive her, explained, "Miss Su Li, there seems to be a misunderstanding. Master Lin Moli’s gem mines in South Africa mostly contain red diamonds. But this diamond of yours, Miss Su Li, is one of the only two Hearts of the Ocean in the world, extremely precious."
