Diamond Candy

Chapter 25: The Incomparable Yellow Diamond

Views:

Moon's jewelry show is scheduled for Friday.

Fang Lai also stayed at home for two or three days this time. This was her first cross-border investment, so she was extremely cautious and kept running around busy for the event.

On the morning of the event, before leaving, Fang Lai asked Tang You:

"Will you come to the scene after school tonight to see mom's new achievement?"

Tang You didn't want to go at first, but Cheng Xuan found out about it a few days ago and came to her to say that he wanted to go to the scene to play. In order to fulfill her good friend's wish, Tang You had to agree.

She asked Fang Lai: "Can I bring my classmates to watch it?"

Fang Lai looked at her meaningfully: "Is it Xie Cheng?"

"No..." Tang You blushed, "It's another classmate."

Fang Lai was in a hurry to leave, so she took out three tickets from her bag without asking any questions. "Okay, Mom has three tickets here. They were originally reserved for clients, but they can't come at the last minute. You can take them. You can bring any classmate to play."

“…Thank you, mom.”

After Fang Lai left, Tang You planned to use the three tickets in his hand.

I and Cheng Xuan each get one, so who will get the remaining one

Naturally, Zhou Qinyao's name popped into my mind.

Anyway, there is one extra card, so it might as well be left empty.

So before going to school, he sneaked into the courtyard and happened to meet Zhou Qinyao who had just gone out. The two met at the alley.

Zhou Qinyao stopped his motorcycle with great interest:

"Why? You want to see me so early in the morning?"

"Don't be so conceited."

Tang You hit her lightly, which didn't hurt at all, and was more like a fight between lovers.

She took out the tickets and said, "There's a jewelry show at Moon tonight. My mom gave me three tickets. Do you want to come along?"

The smile that had just appeared on Zhou Qinyao's face froze.

Glancing down at the ticket—

moon spring and summer dream trip

He frowned very lightly, then quickly relaxed, smiling faintly as if nothing had happened:

"The store is a bit busy today, so I might not be able to come. Have fun."

"All right."

Tang You felt a little disappointed, but still stuffed the ticket into his hand:

"Keep it for now, and come find me when you are free again."

After saying that, the girl ran away without waiting for Zhou Qinyao to refuse.

Zhou Qinyao looked at the ticket in his hand.

I have been familiar with this logo for more than 20 years, but now I feel like things have changed a lot.

I love and hate it. I have clearly let it go, but I am still pulled by a thread and can't give up completely.

Even at the age of over 20, I still feel unwilling to give up.

He sighed and stuffed the ticket into his pocket.

After school in the afternoon, Tang You waited for Cheng Xuan at the school gate. The two got into Uncle Yang's car and went to the jewelry show.

"Yes, I heard that Jiang Ding will also be there today, right?" Cheng Xuan asked on the way.

Tang You almost forgot that Jiang Ding would come today.

Because of Fang Lai's matchmaking, Moon has recently been negotiating with Jiang Ding about signing an endorsement contract. Although it has not been announced to the public, it has basically been confirmed that he will be the only male star among all the image ambassadors.

So Jiang Ding will also come to the scene today to help out.

It was only at this time that Tang You realized the reason why Cheng Xuan was so eager to come to the jewelry show.

Tang You glanced at Cheng Xuan.

I have told her everything that needs to be said before. I can only silently hope in my heart that Cheng Xuan's feelings towards Jiang Ding are simply idol worship and that he doesn't develop any other thoughts.

Tonight, Moon's jewelry show was held in a six-star hotel. The scene was extremely grand and the stage design was very international, luxurious and elegant, which was in line with its identity as a major diamond brand.

The show will showcase a series of collaborative products with Moon, including jewelry, watches, accessories, etc., in which Fang Lai has also invested a huge sum of money.

Since this was the first time Fang Lai came to City C for promotion, even though he was only a project investor, he still took it very seriously and was busy running around.

Tang You saw that Fang Lai was busy, so she didn't disturb him. She and Cheng Xuan found a seat in the back row and sat down.

A red carpet walk was going on outside, and the front row below the catwalk was filled with celebrities from all walks of life, as well as some of the city's socialites.

Many fanatical fans of stars came to the outside of the hotel and were stopped outside and watched their idols from afar.

Five minutes before the jewelry show started, Jiang Ding finally arrived at the scene. He was crowded in, so popular that there was a burst of screams at the scene.

His girlfriend fans shouted his name excitedly, and the atmosphere was pushed to a climax.

Jiang Ding's seat was in the front row. He saw Tang You when he passed by her, and smiled slightly as if they were seeing each other. However—

After his eyes passed over Tang You, they inadvertently fell on Cheng Xuan.

A brief connection, then removed without leaving a trace.

The lights go out and the jewelry show begins.

The models showed off various styles to the crowd.

Each diamond is dazzling and glittering, reflecting its colorful beauty under the light.

Tang You saw Fang Lai standing under the stage from afar, with his sleeves rolled up, communicating something with the staff next to him.

She works actively and efficiently. Apart from being overly nervous about herself, Fang Lai is really an excellent mother.

She has many good qualities that are worth learning from for Tang You.

Tang You turned around and was about to talk to Cheng Xuan, but when she saw her lowering her head to play with her phone, she nudged her and asked:

"Who are you messaging?"

Cheng Xuan immediately put away his phone awkwardly and sat up straight again: "...My mom asked me when I would be back."

Tang You didn't care and lowered her voice and said, "Please move aside. I'm going to the bathroom."

"good."

Tang You hunched over as she walked past the guest seats. The restroom was in the corridor outside. She walked there alone. When she passed the seats opposite the catwalk, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure.

He was tall, wearing a black coat and a hat with the brim pulled down low. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Tang You still felt that -

He is Zhou Qinyao.

The light suddenly moved to another location, and the scene in front of her became dark. Tang You suddenly lost sight of Zhou Qinyao. She looked around again and found that the person who had just been standing there was gone.

Tang You frowned, stood there for a while, then turned around and went to the bathroom.

When I came back from the bathroom, the half-hour jewelry show was coming to an end.

Tang You looked around again and still felt that he was not mistaken.

She quietly blended into the dim crowd and began looking for the familiar figure.

On the stage, designers and models were taking their bows one by one. Fang Lai and Zhou Yan, as the organizers of the event, also came on stage. After saying a lot of words of thanks, they launched the final climax of the event.

This is also the most anticipated part of this event—Jiang Ding’s appearance.

The lights were dazzling and Jiang Ding walked onto the stage amid screams.

He is wearing a casual blue suit today, which is bright and bold, yet passionate and romantic, which fits the theme of today's jewelry show - Dream Lover.

Jiang Ding is the most popular man in the entertainment industry right now and the dream lover of thousands of girls.

He went on stage, smiled simply, and spoke in a very official manner about his impressions of tonight's show. When the atmosphere was getting intense, a figure suddenly jumped out from the guest seats and rushed to the stage at an extremely fast speed, catching everyone off guard.

It was a fanatical female fan who pretended to be a staff member. She went up and hugged Jiang Ding. When the security personnel saw it, they all rushed over and the scene was immediately in chaos.

The female fan was quite emotional and strong. Fang Lai, who was standing behind Jiang Ding, saw that several security guards were unable to hold back a woman and the scene was in chaos. He couldn't help but feel anxious.

She wanted to help, but just as she walked over, she was accidentally pushed by the struggling hand of a female fan, and her body suddenly fell backwards.

Fang Lai was standing on the edge of the catwalk. If he fell down like that, he would at least suffer a concussion if not a broken bone.

Tang You looked around but couldn't find Zhou Qinyao. He happened to walk near Fang Lai and saw this scene. He immediately rushed over.

Almost at the same time, a figure flashed out from behind.

Fang Lai stepped on empty air, and his body lost its balance and fell toward the bottom of the stage. Just when he thought he was going to fall -

A strong arm reached out from both sides and caught her.

Fang Lai stood up in shock, and found that it was Tang You who was pulling him from the left. He turned around and -

The mother and daughter looked to the right almost at the same time.

The man pulled up the brim of his hat slightly and said in a low voice: "Are you okay, auntie?"

Tang You: “…”

It turns out that I was not mistaken just now, it was really him.

Tang You was surprised and happy, but before she could say anything, the female fan on the stage was finally dragged down by two strong men.

This person ruined the show. When Fang Lai passed by, she angrily said, "Crazy! Remember to call the police and let them handle it."

The female fan seemed to be stimulated after hearing this. She suddenly turned around and poured the small bottle in her hand directly onto Fang Lai's face.

The bottle seemed to contain an unknown liquid, and due to her somewhat crazy mood, the audience in the audience screamed and left.

The liquid fell in a parabola in the air, clearly heading towards Fang Lai, but because of the direction, the place where it finally fell happened to be where Tang You was standing.

The people around had already dispersed. All this happened in just two or three seconds. There was no room for thinking at all. Everyone's reaction was based on the most instinctive decision in their hearts.

Fang Lai's mind went blank. It took her less than a second to foresee the possible terrible consequences, and she rushed towards her daughter without hesitation.

But she was still too late.

An unknown liquid has been spilled.

Not on Tang You’s face, body, or anywhere else.

Tang You is safe and sound.

Just because, in the last moment when there was no time to think, Zhou Qinyao turned over and hugged Tang You in his arms.

"Don't move."

The liquid spilled all over his back.

The frightened media members only realized then and pressed the shutter button to capture the moment of the accident.

Security guards, assistants, and on-site staff all rushed over to handle the situation and arrange for the guests to leave quickly.

The feast of jewels and gems ended hastily in the hands of a crazy female fan. Although it was a pity, according to the data obtained by the public relations department, it was precisely because of this accident that the discussion of this show was extremely hot, and the two hottest topics continued to heat up -

#moon show Jiang Ding attacked#

#The mysterious flower protector of the daughter of the Tang family#

Backstage lounge.

Although Fang Lai was supported by Tang You and Zhou Qinyao when he fell, he still sprained his waist slightly.

Sitting on the sofa, the secretary rubbed medicated oil on her. She was deeply moved by what happened that night.

I feel touched and also emotional.

Tang You and Zhou Qinyao sat opposite her. Fang Lai looked left and right, and became more and more satisfied.

After Zhou Yan finished dealing with some final matters, he finally had time to come in and visit Fang Lai.

The situation was extremely chaotic just now. He was standing a little further away. When he wanted to come over to help, Fang Lai had already fallen down.

Later, the female fan went crazy, and Zhou Yan's assistant quickly pulled him to a safe area.

"Mr. Fang, are you okay?" he asked with concern as soon as he came in.

After asking, I saw Zhou Qinyao who appeared in the lounge.

Their eyes met, and Zhou Yan immediately remembered that his assistant had just told him that Miss Tang was rescued by a mysterious man. The original words were -

"That brother is so manly. He held Miss Tang in his arms without even thinking. So handsome."

At that time, Zhou Yan didn't even think about Zhou Qinyao's place. After all, he had called him before and asked him if he wanted to come and see, but the other party refused.

It turns out that it came secretly.

Zhou Yan gave Zhou Qinyao a meaningful look, but the other party ignored him, as if he didn't know him at all.

That’s right, his name is Zhou Qinyao now.

It should be someone I don’t know.

So Zhou Yan also withdrew his friendly gaze.

Fang Lai saw Zhou Yan coming to comfort her and pointed to the side:

"I twisted my waist, it's okay, you can sit down."

After a busy night, everyone was actually very tired and didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. Fang Lai said:

"Yes, yes, pour a glass of water for Director Zhou."

"Oh." Tang You poured a glass of san pellegrino, walked over politely and handed it to Zhou Yan.

The cousin's wife poured water for him personally, and Zhou Yan stood up flattered:

"Thank you, I can do it myself."

On New Year's Eve, Zhou Yan did not force herself. He sent her to Tiantai Mountain and helped keep the secret. The next day he successfully helped her out of the predicament. Although she still didn't know the reason, after so many things happened, Tang You's impression of Zhou Yan had improved a lot.

Thinking of Fang Lairang calling him Brother Zhou Yan when they first met, Tang You hesitated:

"You're welcome, Brother Zhou Yan."

Zhou Yan spat out a mouthful of water and choked.

The desire to survive made him look at Zhou Qinyao immediately, only to see the man sitting opposite him nonchalantly, looking at him with a playful look.

-"elder brother?"

—"No, no, no, how dare I let my little cousin's wife call me brother!"

Zhou Yan felt the death gaze from his cousin and immediately refused righteously: "Miss Tang, just call me Zhou Yan."

In fact, Tang You originally just wanted to call out that one time, just to make up for what she had done that night. Since he didn't like it, that was even better.

Zhou Yan quickly changed the subject. He was actually concerned about whether Zhou Qinyao was injured, but it was not easy to ask in person, so he could only pretend to be concerned and ask Fang Lai:

"By the way, was Miss Tang injured just now? What was that unknown liquid?"

At this point, Fang Lai looked at Zhou Qinyao with relief, and said to Zhou Yan: "It's okay, it's just ordinary alcohol. Fortunately, no major accidents happened. By the way, Director Zhou."

Fang Lai pointed at Zhou Qinyao with a smile in his eyes:

"Let me introduce you."

Zhou Yan: …

He lowered his head silently and drank some water to moisten his throat.

The time has come to test his acting skills.

When he hears the name "Zhou Qinyao" later, how should he pretend to hear it for the first time? What kind of expression should he make to appear natural when they meet for the first time

Just as Zhou Yan was making full mental preparations, Fang Lai spoke.

— “This is my daughter’s classmate, Xie Cheng. He was the one who just protected Youyou.”

"???"

Zhou Yan was so shocked that he had to go back to the performance he had prepared.

A mouthful of water spurted out again, "Who?"

Fang Lai frowned: "Isn't this water delicious? Why do you keep choking?"

"No." Zhou Yan wiped his mouth, still a little bit unbelieving: "What did you say his name was?"

"Xie Cheng, what's wrong?" Fang Lai smiled and made a playing gesture: "He is studying saxophone and is also an art student."

“…???”

Zhou Yan widened his eyes and looked at Zhou Qinyao with a look that said, "What the hell are your names and identities?"

Zhou Qinyao looked over calmly and smiled, "Hello, Director Zhou."

Zhou Yan: “…”

A few good ones.

Brother, it’s really sudden now!

I don’t know how to answer!!

Fang Lai kept thinking about the scene of Zhou Qinyao quickly hugging Tang You, and did not notice Zhou Yan's abnormality.

As a mother, it is such a happy and gratifying thing to see someone risking their life to protect their daughter just like themselves.

She looked at Zhou Qinyao with satisfaction: "Xie Cheng, thank you for tonight. Although it was just alcohol, if it was sulfuric acid or something like that, the consequences would be disastrous."

Zhou Qinyao: "It's my duty, aunt."

Fang Lai nodded in appreciation. She saw that Tang You had been secretly looking at Zhou Qinyao with a smile on her lips. The girl's thoughts were all written on her face. How could she, as a mother, not understand

So he generously pardoned him:

"It's getting late, Xie Cheng, please help me send Tang You back. I have something to talk to Director Zhou about."

Zhou Qinyao stood up and said, "Okay."

Before leaving, he did not forget to give Zhou Yan a look - shut up and stop talking nonsense to me

Zhou Yan: “…”

After the two young men left, Fang Lai finally put down his majestic attitude in front of his partners and showed a trace of emotion.

Perhaps she was too deeply touched by what happened tonight and she couldn't wait to find someone to talk to, so Zhou Yan became the person she talked to.

"Xiao Zhou, what do you think of this Xie Cheng?"

Zhou Yan: “…”

Xiao Zhou's mother didn't know how to answer.

Seeing Zhou Yan didn't say anything, Fang Lai chatted to himself:

"My daughter is very innocent. I have always wanted to find a man who can protect her and take good care of her in the future instead of me."

As he was talking, Fang Lai suddenly laughed: "To be honest, I had thought about asking you to introduce your cousin to Youyou before, but now it seems that there may be no need."

Zhou Yan: “…”

Quiet as a chicken, not knowing how to respond.

Talking about this, Fang Lai seemed to remember something:

"By the way, your cousin went abroad to study a few years ago. How come there is no news about him now?"

"he… "

Zhou Yan thought for a minute with mixed feelings: "He is currently studying psychology."

"psychology?"

"Yeah." Zhou Yan looked at Fang Lai calmly with a serious expression:

"My cousin has recently been focusing on studying the development of multiple personalities, and has even put them into practice himself. He's probably not far from going crazy."

Fang Lai: “… ?”

The author has something to say: Mr. Fang: Oh my god, what’s wrong with this eldest son of the Zhou family…

Fortunately, I chose the precocious young master of the Xie family.

I really have good taste.

The l'inparable yellow diamond necklace features a 407-carat main stone, which is rated as the world's largest flawless natural yellow diamond. It was sold in Singapore in January 2013 for US$55 million, breaking the world record and becoming the world's most expensive necklace.

It is said that this giant yellow diamond was discovered by a little girl in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1980. After being polished, the yellow diamond exudes a rich vivid yellow color, and its flawlessness makes it known as an inparable diamond. It has been exhibited in many museums and finally fell into the hands of jeweler Mouawad, who set it into a necklace, setting off 90 pear-shaped white diamonds weighing 230 carats, making it extremely valuable.
