Under the dim light of the rental house, the silver necklace caught people's attention, especially the small diamond ring inlaid in the middle, which was shining and looked extremely delicate.
Ji Jinxi is a person who has seen some scenes. After all, although her family gritted their teeth to send her abroad, Ji Jinxi has dated several wealthy sponsors.
I always feel that although the carat of the diamond on this necklace is a little small, it looks very luxurious as a whole and seems to be quite valuable.
"Linlang, is this diamond necklace yours? How come I've never seen you wear it before?"
Ji Jinxi subconsciously lowered her head and wanted to reach out to grab the end of Ye Linlang's necklace that was half placed on the table.
…
When Ye Linlang saw Ji Jinxi reaching out her hand, she subconsciously dodged.
Ye Linlang hurriedly grabbed the entire necklace into her hand.
The circular shape of the diamond ring hurt Ye Linlang's hand. The slightly rough texture was a bit painful, and Ye Linlang couldn't help but think of the day when she said goodbye to Jiang Qiran.
The boy's cold voice.
He said that the necklace was nothing but trash to him, and asked Ye Linlang to just throw it in the trash can instead of returning it to him.
…
Ye Linlang felt a pain in her heart and her expression was dazed for a moment.
"This necklace looks quite valuable, Linlang-?"
When Ye Linlang heard Ji Jinxi calling her name for the second time, she finally woke up and shook her head and smiled at Ji Jinxi.
"It is indeed mine, but you are overthinking it. How can I afford such an expensive diamond necklace? My first love in high school gave it to me as a toy. It is just a high imitation. Doesn't the diamond look very realistic?"
Ye Linlang also knew that it was a crime to possess a treasure.
Although she didn't want to think of the person in her arms, but looking at Ji Jinxi's eyes that were infatuated with jewelry, Ye Linlang subconsciously told a lie.
"A high-end imitation?"
Ye Linlang smiled in a nonchalant manner.
"Yes, it's a high-end imitation, so I'm embarrassed to wear it openly, for fear that others will notice it and laugh at me if they know the real thing."
Ji Jinxi hesitantly glanced at the end of the necklace in Ye Linlang's hand. The silvery-white platinum texture really didn't look like a fake.
but…
If Ye Linlang could afford such an expensive platinum necklace with a diamond ring, how could she live with me in such a cheap rental house
…
After knowing that it was a fake, Ji Jinxi immediately withdrew his gaze.
Tsk, that’s what she said, how could Ye Linlang have real valuable jewelry.
Thinking of the verbal agreement between himself and Brother Li, Ji Jinxi's eyes darkened and he looked at Ye Linlang's face carefully.
No matter how you look at him, he looks just an average person, and he acts like a student.
It is obvious that Ye Linlang is not as pretty as me, she just looks pure!
And when she thought of that frivolous mixed-race boy Shangguan Luo, Ji Jinxi sneered in her heart.
Who knows whether Ye Linlang is really pure or not, she may have slept with so many men!
…
"Is there something on my face?"
Ye Linlang asked.
Seeing Ji Jinxi shaking her head, Ye Linlang suddenly remembered the important matter.
She put the diamond necklace back into her pocket and spoke seriously to Ji Jinxi.
"Jin Xi, Manager Li probably looks to be in his forties. Doesn't he have a wife? It's not good for you to follow him like this..."
Ji Jinxi had known in her heart that Ye Linlang looked down on her, but she was good at taking advantage of troubled waters, so she quickly and gently comforted Ye Linlang.
"Who am I, Ji Jinxi? How could I be a mistress?"
"real?"
Ye Linlang's eyes were filled with doubt.
Ji Jinxi smiled faintly.
"You just came to City A and haven't been in the company for a day. You must not know that Brother Li and his wife have divorced a long time ago, right? We are a normal relationship between a man and a woman, Linlang, don't think too much."
It turns out that the fat and big-eared Manager Li is divorced.
Ye Linlang listened to Ji Jinxi's defense thoughtfully, but she still felt uncomfortable when she thought of the old man's fat face and the lustful look in his eyes when he looked at people.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke to Ji Jinxi earnestly.
"Jinxi, no matter what, I think Brother Li's age and appearance are not a good match for you. Do you really like him?"
Like Manager Li!
What a joke, are you blind to like that greasy old man
It's just an ATM.
Of course, Ji Jinxi would not say these words in front of Ye Linlang.
She wiped away a tear half-seriously.
"Linlang, actually... Brother Li is very kind to me and takes good care of me here. I am touched."
Ye Linlang was very sad when she heard this. Seeing that Ji Jinxi was so determined to be with Manager Li, and both of them were unmarried, Ye Linlang felt that she was meddling in other people's business.
"Well, I won't say much. Feelings are like drinking water. Only you know whether it is hot or cold. Jin Xi hopes that you won't get hurt."
Ji Jinxi nodded lazily.
…
In a blink of an eye, Ye Linlang had been in Chengtian Group for a week. The atmosphere in the operations department was pretty good, but that Manager Li...
Ye Linlang has always regarded Manager Li as Ji Jinxi's boyfriend, but Ji Jinxi said that Chengtian Group does not allow office romances, so she asked her not to expose the matter.
Ye Linlang had no choice but to hold back and not say anything.
After arriving at the company, Manager Li treated her politely and did not behave inappropriately.
If Ye Linlang had not seen Manager Li in his shorts with malicious eyes staring at her, she would have regarded him as an ordinary boss.
Ye Linlang tried her best to distance herself from Manager Li. For some reason, she still couldn't stand the relationship between Ji Jinxi and Manager Li.
It’s not just because of the huge age gap, but because Manager Li gave Ye Linlang a very bad initial impression.
…
As it happened, Chengtian Group was going to participate in an industry exchange meeting this time, and the company sent Manager Li, saying that they were still short of a girl to represent the image of the operations department.
Originally, Ji Jinxi was the best candidate. She was beautiful, capable of entertaining guests drinking, and was very popular in the circle.
However, Ji Jinxi was not feeling well those days, so Ye Linlang had to take his place.
There were few girls in the operations department, and the remaining people hardly had a suitable image. Most of them were forty or above. In this situation, with no other options, Ye Linlang had no choice but to accept.
I had no choice but to follow Manager Li to attend the industry exchange meeting.
This exchange meeting will be held in the neighboring city S.
Ye Linlang thought that S City was so big that she shouldn't run into Jiang Qiran.
She was walking around absent-mindedly at the meeting, and suddenly, she saw an extremely dazzling man.
It turned out to be the man she had been thinking about but dared not to meet!
[Jiujiu has decided to try to finish writing the story of Qi Ran and Lin Lang this month. It will probably be finished by the end of January or around February 1st.]
