Zhang Wenfan shook his head and murmured: "No, I don't want it anymore, I don't want that piece of jade anymore..."
"Wenfan? Wenfan?" Ding Weiwei asked worriedly, "You look terrible. Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
She consoled him, "Besides, you won the jade at the auction, it's a happy event!"
What kind of happy event is this? It's more like a funeral! Zhang Wenfan wanted to curse.
Ding Weiwei is the only daughter of a wealthy family. She grew up in luxury. 30 million is just the price of a few clothes and bags for her. She has no concept of money at all. Zhang Wenfan never mentioned money when they were dating. He always paid for meals and shopping. This made Ding Weiwei believe that Zhang Wenfan really loved her.
Naturally, she couldn't understand Zhang Wenfan's panic now.
Zhang Wenfan asked Ding Weiwei with a pale face: "Can you give up the jade? I, I don't want it anymore."
"No! How can you regret after you've already filmed it?" Ding Weiwei said anxiously, "Qihuo was able to invite so many dignitaries, do you think the forces behind it are easy to mess with? Those who break the rules will be put on Qihuo's blacklist and ostracized by the entire upper class in Zhanghua City, and that's when they're really finished."
Zhang Wenfan's eyes were dull, and he seemed to have lost all vitality in an instant.
He was pondering over a solution when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the diamond necklace on Ding Weiwei's neck and remembered what the hateful young man had said - the diamond necklace on the neck of the lady who came with you is worth 30 million.
Hope suddenly shone in his eyes: "Weiwei, I didn't bring enough cash today."
Ding Weiwei asked in confusion: "You can pay by credit card, but who would carry 30 million in cash?"
Zhang Wenfan: “…”
He must have 30 million in his bank account. Is it really that he is so short of money? He would have to sell all his real estate to raise the money!
Those shops were his livelihood, and Zhang Wenfan could not possibly give them up.
What a stupid woman who doesn't know the sufferings of the world. Zhang Wenfan thought irritably, can't she be more conscious and give him money on her own initiative? She had to make him ask for it himself.
This made Zhang Wenfan feel ashamed.
At this time, he thought of Chi Yu's kindness again. At least the fish monster would give him all his property without reservation, so there was no need to calculate so much.
Although he has always played the role of a perfect boyfriend, he could not maintain the noble attitude of "I love you and not your money" when his life and death were at stake.
Zhang Wenfan said tactfully, "Weiwei, you know I'm going to compete for that piece of land in Xicheng District recently, and I'm short of funds for the time being. Can you lend me 30 million first? I'll pay you back as soon as I make money."
Ding Weiwei chuckled: "That's it, sure. You're my boyfriend, why are you being so formal with me? This is the first time you've asked me for help, I will definitely help you."
Zhang Wenfan felt relieved and smiled easily.
"But the money in my card was all transferred by my father. He has a record of every expenditure. If I give it to you directly, it will definitely be discovered." Ding Weiwei added, "You can use this necklace as a temporary mortgage. It is worth exactly 30 million. I don't have the appraisal certificate, but rare goods can be appraised on the spot."
Zhang Wenfan hesitated: "Temporarily means..."
Ding Weiwei took off the necklace reluctantly and handed it to Zhang Wenfan: "This necklace was given to me by my mother, and I haven't worn it enough. Qihuo allows you to mortgage items of equal value. If you don't pay the bill within three months, the mortgage will be auctioned." Of course, there is no need to pay anymore.
Zhang Wenfan thought, that must be delayed until three months later. He should solve the urgent problem first.
"Okay, don't be so sad. It's my birthday the day after tomorrow. Have you thought about what birthday present to give me?" Ding Weiwei said with a smile.
Zhang Wenfan resolved a worry and felt relieved: "I will definitely not let our Weiwei down."
It was dark when the auction ended.
Watching Zhang Wenfan and Ding Weiwei walking out of the auction house arm in arm, talking and laughing, Ding Weiwei's neck was empty.
Rong Yu slowly raised up the car window: What a naive girl indeed.
Blood Jade Bracelet: Your efforts were in vain. In the end, Ding Weiwei was the only one who lost a necklace.
Rong Yu: I say you are stupid but you don’t admit it.
Blood Jade Bracelet: What’s wrong with me?!
Rong Yu: I know that necklace is worth 30 million, because Mr. Gu once asked me if I wanted it, but I refused because I thought it was ugly, and then the necklace was bought by Mrs. Ding as a gift for her daughter. Such valuable items will have property rights certificates, and the ownership of the necklace belongs to Mrs. Ding. The rare goods auction house is a real-name system, and a sales contract will be signed when the transaction is made.
Blood Jade Bracelet: And then
Rong Yu: Zhang Wenfan traded all his wealth for the jade pendant, which would at most bankrupt him. He used the necklace that belonged to Mrs. Ding as collateral, and without Mrs. Ding's knowledge, which constituted fraud. If the Ding family found out, he would be sent to jail. Oh, by the way, the necklace would be returned to the original owner according to the law, so Zhang Wenfan still owed Qihuo 30 million, and he would be bankrupt and imprisoned at the same time.
Blood Jade Bracelet: The Ding family may not find it.
Rong Yu: I will definitely let the Ding family find out.
Blood Jade Bracelet: ... So, you deliberately mentioned that Ding Weiwei's necklace was worth 30 million, not only to encourage Zhang Wenfan to shout out a sky-high price, but also to consider sending him to jail
Rong Yu: Didn't you say this is a society ruled by law? If you can't kill people, then use legal weapons.
The blood jade bracelet shuddered.
The big devil kills without shedding blood.
Chi Yu gave Zhang Wenfan everything he had, and Rong Yu took neither more nor less, exactly 30 million, which was all Zhang Wenfan had.
It also cut off Zhang Wenfan's attempt to climb up the ladder of the Ding family, causing Zhang Wenfan to offend the powerful Qihuo and touch the bottom line of the law...
From being in high spirits to losing everything, all for a piece of jade. And the double fish jade pendant was used by Zhang Wenfan to please Gu Minghuai, but in the end it was given to Rongyu.
He will gain nothing and end up with nothing.
Gu Minghuai turned his head and looked at the young man in the passenger seat. The other person had his head lowered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
"Xiao Yuer." Gu Minghuai held the steering wheel but did not start the car.
Rong Yu looked up: "What's wrong?"
"You know him." Gu Minghuai said firmly.
If Xiao Yuer really didn't know him, he wouldn't have said something like "I want him to die".
Rong Yu remained calm: "I have nothing to do with him."
Gu Minghuai started the car: "It's okay, it's not too late to talk about it when you want to."
He thought that must be an unhappy past event, and since Xiaoyuer didn't want to mention it, he would wait a little longer.
Rongyu lowered the car window slightly and looked at the scenery along the way. He had a good memory and said after a few glances: "This is not the way home."
Gu Minghuai: "Well, isn't it boring to stay at home? Anyway, I'm already out, so I'll take you for a ride and breathe the free and fresh air."
Rong Yu was instantly excited: "Can we go to a bar? How about an amusement park? How about a movie theater?"
Gu Minghuai rejected all of them: "It's just blowing the wind."
Rong Yu wilted: "That's right, prisoners in prison also need to be allowed to go out for fresh air regularly."
Gu Minghuai: “…”
Gu Minghuai drove farther and farther, and finally drove to the seaside.
Zhanghua City is a coastal city with several famous beach attractions. Every day, a large number of tourists come to see the sea, and many of them come from inland areas.
Gu Minghuai is a local and is very familiar with this place. They came to a sparsely populated beach. The car stopped on the side of the road, and there was no one in sight. When they got out of the car, they were the only two people on the entire beach.
The cold wind blew, and it was very bleak.
Rong Yu paused for three seconds, then turned around and was about to get back into the car.
Gu Minghuai pulled him back: "Why are you running?"
Rong Yu struggled: "What's so good about this!"
"Look at the sea."
"What's so good about the sea?" Rong Yu stopped moving, crossed his arms and shivered, "It's so cold."
Gu Minghuai held him in his arms from behind, letting him lean against his warm chest: "Then I'll keep you warm."
"I picked this spot carefully." Gu Minghuai looked at the coastline in the distance. "At night, you can enjoy the sea breeze, listen to the waves, and look at the stars and the moon. No one will pass by, and if you are short of water, you can go for a swim in the sea. Isn't that thoughtful?"
Rong Yu sneered: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, I am a freshwater fish."
Gu Minghuai: "… Seawater doesn't work?"
Rong Yu: "If you want to get a salted fish, just say so."
Gu Minghuai was silent for a second: "Then let's go back."
"Forget it." Rong Yu found a place and sat down casually on the beach, "I'm here now."
Gu Minghuai didn't move.
Rong Yu glanced at him: "You still think it's dirty?"
Gu Minghuai hesitated for a moment, then sat down, shoulder to shoulder with him.
The sea sparkles under the moonlight, the waves surge, and the salty sea breeze brings.
All rivers flow into the sea, and the sea is where all fish yearn for.
Carp cannot live in the sea, unless they jump over the Dragon Gate and become a real dragon, then they can swim freely in the sea. Every carp has a mission from the moment it is born, to cultivate until it is a thousand years old, then swim to the sea, overcome the fear and torment of freshwater fish to the sea water, jump over the endless Dragon Gate, and become a noble dragon.
Of course, in Rong Yu's eyes, the dragon clan is just a younger brother. He is at the top of the food chain in the original world, and a fire can dry up the entire East China Sea. In order to protect their survival territory, the dragon clan often sends him some treasures, hoping that the demon king can stay in a good mood every day.
But at that time, he was not in such a good mood as he is now.
Rong Yu looked at the moon over the sea and asked: "How long will we stay here?"
Gu Minghuai asked: "How long do you want to stay?"
Rong Yu thought for a moment and said, "Wait until dawn."
Gu Minghuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You were the one who said the sea was nothing to see, and you were also the one who wanted to stay here for a night."
Rong Yu turned to look at him: "I want to see the sunrise. I have never seen the sunrise before."
Gu Minghuai said: "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Rong Yu yawned lazily and leaned on his shoulder: "I used to come to the beach every day."
Gu Minghuai didn't know how long ago this was. He pretended to be a listener and asked, "What are you doing at the beach?"
"Wait for the sun to rise." Rong Yu's voice sounded angry, "But I never waited for it once."
Gu Minghuai laughed: "You can see the sunrise every day, but you always fall into a deep sleep and can't get up, right?"
Xiao Yuer loves to stay in bed so much that it’s hard to imagine that he ever stays up to watch the sunrise.
Rong Yu was silent for a moment and sighed.
"Yeah, I'm so lazy, how could I do such a stupid thing as getting up early every morning to watch the sunrise."
He didn't get up early.
He stayed up all night.
It sounds even more stupid. The big devil felt a little melancholy.
The moon moves quietly in the sky, the night sky and the starry sky change, and the waves hit the shore one after another.
The two of them snuggled together on the beach and fell asleep next to each other before they knew it.
The sea breeze blew gently across their cheeks, and under the bright moon, the scenery was picturesque.
…
When the golden light of the rising sun shone on Gu Minghuai's face, his eyelashes trembled, he opened his eyes, and saw a red sun rising slowly from the sea level, and his body was bathed in warmth by the light.
He blocked his eyes to adjust to the light, then quickly pushed the sleeping young man in his arms: "Xiao Yu'er, wake up, the sun is out."
Rongyu was sleeping soundly in his arms, her delicate profile was cast with a layer of light gold by the sunlight, which was extremely bright and gorgeous.
Gu Minghuai lowered his head: "Xiao Yu'er, look at the sun."
Rong Yu's eyelids seemed to be glued shut and he couldn't open them. He was in a bad mood and said, "Stop making noise."
Gu Minghuai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He slept so soundly. No wonder he had never seen the sunrise after coming to the beach so many times.
He leaned over patiently and said, "Little Fish, get up and look at the sun."
"I won't look at it." Rong Yu felt that the sun was too bright and turned her head to bury it in Gu Minghuai's chest. "That's not my sun."
He is really just lying with his eyes closed.
Gu Minghuai asked with amusement: "If that thing hanging in the sky is not the sun, then what is the sun?"
Rongyu was sleeping soundly and made no sound.
Gu Minghuai did not have the heart to disturb them. Just as he was looking at the sunrise alone, he suddenly heard the young man in his arms whisper, "... It's you."
"You are the sun."
The greatest favor he had ever received in the world was not a rainbow bed, a white cloud couch, or the sound of broken jade.
It was like having a big dream with the rising sun as my pillow and the morning light as my clothes.
