Chapter 53 - Rich Young Lady, Real Or Fake?
He sold the diamond to an old man at cost price for Shen Qianshu. It was not easy for Shen Qianshu to reject his small favor. She did not bring her monitoring instruments but only a 10x magnifying glass. Fortunately, there was enough equipment required for appraising jewels and a Chelsea filter in the shop.
Shen Qianshu examined the two jewels diligently, and Li Zhiyuan was engrossed in watching her busying herself with the Chelsea filter.
What a beauty!
Earnest women are the most beautiful.
Two hours later…
Shen Qianshu rubbed her eyes and said, “The emerald is natural and has high purity. Less than 4% of it is cracked. The only problem is that there are many needle-like inclusions which affected its value. But you took it in at two hundred thousand, it should be a steal. If you meet an expert, it could be sold for three hundred thousand. If you meet a fool, then it depends on you.”
“I got it.” The owner heaved a huge sigh of relief and said, “Is there a problem with the spinel?”
“I wouldn’t consider it to be problematic because based on my analysis, this is a highly pure spinel. You took it in at sixty thousand, so that is a little suspicious. Furthermore, the spinel has some brown columns which I can’t figure out what it is at the moment. I need more equipment. I can’t give you an answer now. You have to let me bring it back to the lab.”
“I have a premonition about it. Nevermind, I shall sell it quickly. Don’t worry, I’ll find a rich fool, not a nice guy.”
Shen Qianshu and Li Zhiyuan were speechless.
Boss, my knee hurts. You don’t really mean it, do you?
“Whatever.” She was not a police for the world, and she could not care so much, especially not the way others do their business. She only cared about doing the right things and having a clear conscience. She only reported based on the results of her examinations. Whatever happens next was none of her business.
A compatible couple entered the stall, and the two parties saw each other. They were shocked.
Shen Lin and Lin Xuan!
Enemies often cross each other’s paths!
Shen Qianshu stared blankly at Lin Xuan. It had been years since she met Lin Xuan, and she always saw him on the business news. He had matured and become more charismatic. He gave off vibes similar to those of Li Zhiyuan, a Prince Charming of a disposition as graceful as the luster of jade. Li Zhiyuan loved to smile, but Lin Xuan was always feeling down, more like a ‘Prince Depressing.’ He had facial features that were charismatic, and he gave off an outstanding type of vibe. In the crowd, he stood out.
Shen Lin, who was beside him, was sweet, fair, and graceful. She was gorgeous and elegant. When the two stood together, they appeared like a perfect couple.
Lin Xuan’s gaze stopped steadily on Shen Qianshu, and he appeared even more depressed, dark, and gloomy. Li Zhiyuan stuck out his arm to greet Shen Lin. “Miss Shen, what a coincidence to bump into you here.”
“Good afternoon, Mr. Li.”
The two of them touched each other’s hand slightly, and they both let go. Li Zhiyuan looked at Lin Xuan who was beside them. He knew Lin Xuan naturally. Being the great son of the Lin Family and the prince of the Lin Corporation, he was a popular person who often appeared in financial magazines. Li Zhiyuan had not returned home for long, so the two did not know one another well.
Shen Lin introduced both of them formally.
“This is Lin Xuan from the Lin Corporation. This is Prince Li of Brilliant Entertainment.”
Li Zhiyuan and Lin Xuan shook hands and greeted one another. Out of social etiquette, the first thing Li Zhiyuan did was to introduce Shen Qianshu.
“This is…”
“We know each other.” Lin Xuan voiced out, stopping Li Zhiyuan midway through his sentence abruptly, feeling… irritated.
Lin Xuan never thought that he would meet Shen Qianshu at the Spring Court Fair. Never did he even think that they would be so foreign to one another that another man had to introduce her to him. This made him… very irritated.
