"Give your true love the most eternal gem...Buy Clayman jewelry now, and the newlyweds will receive a 20% discount, and you can also use the Clayman Auditorium as the wedding venue for free!"
There were bursts of clapping, and in an open-air lawn venue surrounded by flowers, many businessmen and family members stood up one after another and kept clapping their hands.
The host quickly left the stage after finishing his speech. At this time, some businessmen walked over, including Ji Yun and her husband, including Ivy's father Clayman Jr. and mother Ista.
This is the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the latest event launched by Clayman Jewelry Company. In recent times, the sales of Clayman Jewelry have begun to surge a lot because many young couples are getting married. Congress has introduced a law for young people.
Multiple welfare measures include welfare subsidies for men and women in the area where men and women get married, and childcare deposits, etc.
At this time, there were a few people who looked very happy on the sidelines. They were standing, and there were no seats for them. They kept cheering, shouting Istar's name, and tried their best to nuzzle in front of the camera.
There are young and old, 11 people in total.
Many people at the venue looked at these people who came to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony with disdain. They were members of the Chloe family, the poorest small family in Bright City. The whole family only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
He relied on the Kleiman family for support for his entire life, and if Ista hadn't married little Kleiman that year, the Chloe family would have been destroyed long ago.
Today is October 10, 2229, and it is also the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Clayman Jewelry. This old jewelry family company has existed since the founding of Brilliant City. It has experienced half a century of ups and downs and almost collapsed.
If it weren't for the child in Ista's belly, the marriage contract with the Ji family was completed, and the Ji family's support was obtained. It would have been over by now. However, in recent years, the jewelry industry has begun to come back to life, and jewelry from low-end to high-end has quickly occupied the market.
market, all thanks to Ista's daughter Ivy, who is now the president of the design department of Clayman Jewelry and controls all the design and production rights of Clayman Jewelry.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony ended in a cheerful atmosphere, and then the banquet began. It is now 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the banquet will last until the early morning of tomorrow.
The 11 people from Chloe's family quickly occupied a table close to the chefs. Many people present knew that they wanted to get the food they wanted as soon as possible.
There was a coughing sound, and the patriarch of the Chloe family nodded, swallowed, looked at the pieces of steak on the barbecue, and said immediately.
"We haven't had such good food for a long time. Everyone didn't eat breakfast or lunch today. You must eat well, especially you, Bea, you must eat more. You are pregnant with a child now."
A beautiful woman with a slightly bulging belly smiled and nodded. The man next to her, who had not shaved her beard cleanly and was wearing a somewhat wrinkled old suit, smiled and hugged the woman next to her.
"Of course, we have to have a good meal."
The family of 11 people did not care about the disdainful looks of the people around them. They were already staring at the steaks that the chefs were frying, as well as a jar of sauces with a rich aroma next to them, as well as many fresh vegetables and fruits that went with the steaks. They planned to wait for the chefs
After putting it on the plate, I went to get it right away.
There were also some seafood items that made everyone greedy. Everyone just wanted to eat everything at the banquet. At this time, a tall man was already carrying a bottle of wine and started drinking by himself.
"Idiot, your stomach is still empty now. If you drink too much, you won't be able to eat anything later."
The other people around were not as active as the Chloe family. Most people were busy chatting. This noon barbecue banquet was meaningless to most people. What was important was business.
Ista and her husband were talking about the next cooperation with Ji Yun and his wife. Ivy was listening quietly. It had been many times. She didn't see the shadow of Ji Mo. It seemed that he really left.
to the upper level.
"By the way, Ji Yun, that child in Ji Mo has been missing lately."
As soon as Ista finished speaking, Ivy noticed the brief unhappiness on the faces of Ji Yun and her husband. She had not heard the news about Ji Mo from some classmates. Everyone did not know what Ji Mo was doing and had been cut off.
Liaise with everyone at the top.
"I'm really sorry for letting you see the joke!"
Ista smiled awkwardly and looked at the chef's side. His parents and other people had gathered around and started to pick up the food. For a moment, the two families and the people nearby laughed, and Ivy burst into laughter.
She pulled her mother and walked away. She had to take her mother there to ease the embarrassment.
Ivy has heard about Chloe's family to some extent. It is her mother's family. In order to train her mother, Chloe's family saved money and sent Ista to the best school, no matter how she dressed or dressed.
As well as all aspects of etiquette, Ista was raised to be elegant and decent. As expected, the naturally beautiful Ista did not disappoint the Chloe family and concluded a marriage contract with the Clayman family very well.
Because of the strong backing of the Kleiman family, they didn't have to worry about life problems at all. The Chloe family, which was already impoverished and about to go bankrupt, became lazy from this moment on. They also developed a bad habit of asking for money.
I have asked for money countless times. The little Kleinman Ista was originally married to did not have a high status in the family and did not have much money. However, his parents would always come over from time to time, ostensibly to visit their daughter.
, in fact, he was just asking for money. Every time, his son-in-law, Kleinman, could only find a way to get some money to give to his parents-in-law before they would leave.
Even during the Kleiman family's inheritance turmoil, when the couple was having a hard time, the Chloe family still asked for money under various pretexts without any mercy and never had the slightest sense of shame.
Ta could only think of ways to give money to his parents again and again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This vicious cycle has continued until now. All the expenses of the Chloe family are borne by the Kleiman family, but now a decision has been made.
Each of them is given a contract of 1,000 yuan on a regular basis every month, and they are not allowed to ask for money from the Kleiman family in various ways.
Now there are 11 people in Chloe's family, and they can receive 11,000 yuan a month from the Kleiman family. If you want to live in the upper class, it is completely enough. The premise is that you can't travel and entertain in the upper class, and you can only buy some food to cook for yourself.
Food is completely sufficient, and for some necessary entertainment activities, you can only drive to the middle floor.
Ivy was also asked for money by her maternal grandparents, aunts, nieces, etc. Ivy did not know about it at the time, because this kind of thing was a shame for the entire Kleiman family. At that time, Ivy only had
He was only 10 years old and had no idea. He really thought that his grandparents were short of money, so he gave them the few hundred yuan he needed to buy some clothes.
After knowing the truth, Ivy was quite angry at the time, but now she has no choice but to deal with the Chloe family. Her father has strictly warned her not to give them extra money unless they are willing to work.
Not even a cent more can be given.
"Ivy, come here quickly."
Grandpa shouted as soon as he passed by, and Ivy smiled elegantly and greeted everyone in the family.
"Mom and Dad, can you calm down?"
Looking at the food piled on the table that was taken from various chef stations, Istan felt quite embarrassed.
"What are you afraid of Ista, we are relatives."
"Brother, why don't you work hard for a few years and then get married? You're not young anymore."
Ista looked at his brother, Mousse, the eldest member of this generation in the family, and reminded him. Mousse scratched his head.
"Let's talk about it in a few years."
Ivy just stood aside quietly, looking at the happy family. Ivy was a little more sensible in the past and felt that her grandparents and everyone in the family devoted all their efforts to cultivating her mother just to exchange her mother for a long-term marriage.
Ivy felt that this approach was a bit despicable. In reality, this family did do this, and it was indeed done.
But gradually Ivy also realized that this lazy and lazy Chloe family is an optimist in a sense. The whole family is very good at playing and eating and drinking. They feel that there is no need to work or experience suffering.
, just have fun every day, having fun is the most important thing in their lives.
"By the way, Ista, go and tell little Clayman if you can give us an extra 1,000 yuan."
As soon as grandpa opened his mouth, Ista became embarrassed, and grandma immediately added.
"Look, Bea is about to give birth to a baby, and our Chloe family now has 12 people."
Ista pressed her forehead. She had persuaded the whole family many times to work hard. The Kleiman family and even the Ji family were willing to help, but they didn't want to work at all. The whole family just wanted to continue eating, drinking and having fun for the rest of their lives.
Go down.
"Mom, dad, brother, and you..."
Ista looked at the whole family bitterly, not knowing what to say. Finally she gave up and nodded.
"I'll talk to my husband."
Ivy smiled and sat next to Bea. She was her cousin and her sister-in-law’s daughter. The whole family was talking about what was delicious and what was not delicious, but the next second the family’s actions made Ivy
Some were caught off guard, and the food that everyone didn't really want to eat was put directly into the storage boxes they carried.
"Cousin, I heard that the jewelry you designed recently has been a big hit."
Bea said with a smile, took out her light and shadow phone, and brought up a light and shadow panel. Ivy nodded and looked at the jewelry she designed on the light and shadow panel. The female ones looked sharp and angular, while the male ones looked rounder. Yes
A pair of large and small wedding rings, made of bright metal and some small particles of synthetic gemstones, look very beautiful and grand, but there is an indescribable bitterness in it, because the color of men is mild,
Feminine colors are intense and symbolize love.
"But the price is a bit high, 3999."
Ivy nodded and explained that aside from the design, many places needed to be polished slowly by people, and the machine could not achieve the required accuracy for the time being.
"Okay, my husband only gave me such a small gem when we got married."
As Bea said, she raised her hand and stretched out her ring finger. There was a silver ring with a small ruby ​​on it. The husband next to Bea laughed awkwardly. His name was Tim, and he belonged to a small family that had long been destroyed.
The last one left.
"Yes, I really have no money, so I have no choice but to give this as a gift. But Sister Ivy, don't underestimate this ruby. It's been passed down from our family."
Ivy smiled awkwardly. She knew gems well. She soon discovered that the luster and brightness of this ruby ​​were not enough, and there were signs of wear. It should be because the density was too low, but she didn't say anything.
"How about cousin, give us a pair!"
