"Xiaoyun, look at the decoration in this private room. How could it have been done without a few hours in advance? Master Yan is so kind to you, why don't you express your gratitude?"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shi Xianglan cheered with excitement, and the matchmaker mole on the corner of her mouth trembled up and down with her lips because of her excitement.
When Zhou Xinghuai heard this, he glanced at Shi Xianglan in surprise, as if he was surprised that she would say such a thing, and then he clenched his fists tightly.
Unexpectedly, the once selfless squad leader has now become Yan Qikuan’s lackey!
Chen Yun seemed to sense that something was wrong with Zhou Xinghuai's mood, and hurriedly tugged at the corner of his clothes and gave him a look, telling him to forget it.
Zhou Xinghuai glanced at Chen Yun, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Today was Xiaoyun's birthday. Just seeing how carefully she dressed up and put on special makeup, he knew that she was looking forward to the upcoming birthday party, and he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere.
Chen Yun smiled gently and said politely: "Well, let's order food and drinks first, and I'll pay respects to classmate Yan Qikuan later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Yes, yes, get something to drink first! It's been a long time since our old classmates saw each other. We must not get drunk tonight!"
Chen Yun called the waiter, ordered some beer and snacks, and asked the waiter to bring over a few decks of playing cards and sifting cups. People in the private room began to request songs, and as the music played, the ambient lights were turned on.
"Xiaoyun, I wish you a happy birthday!"
At this moment, Yan Qikuan saw that the atmosphere was good, so he took out an exquisite square box from his arms without losing the opportunity, and handed it to Chen Yun in a gentlemanly manner.
After the box was opened, a luxurious necklace was lying quietly inside. Under the illumination of the ambient light, a sapphire the size of a fingernail was shining brightly, emitting a dazzling light.
"Wow! Is this, is this the latest model of Wu Jewelry's 'vast stars'?! Oh my god! It's so beautiful!" Shi Xianglan held her face in her hands and shouted with an exaggerated expression.
Soon, her voice attracted the attention of everyone present. Even the person who was singing put down the microphone and looked over with his head raised.
"Fuck... such a big sapphire! It costs thousands of dollars, right?" A male classmate in ordinary clothes exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing this, Pu Jianwei sneered, glanced at the other party with extremely contemptuous eyes, and said: "You want to buy a sapphire for a few thousand yuan? Tian Xiaojiang, I think your brain has been kicked by a donkey, right?"
"Have you seen Titanic? This sapphire was found by Wu Jewelry from the deep sea. The largest piece is called the 'Heart of the Ocean'. It is not for sale and is treasured by the Wu family themselves."
"The rest, there are nine small sapphires in total, one of which is the necklace on Master Yan's hand! I'm not kidding you, it's not an exaggeration to say it's priceless!"
"Wow!"
After hearing Pu Jianwei's introduction, many female classmates looked at the sapphire necklace in the box with envy.
"Oh my God, a sapphire from the deep sea! If you wear it, you can feel like the heroine of Titanic. It's so romantic..."
"I don't know when my boyfriend will be able to afford it as a gift for me, ugh..."
"I didn't expect Yan Qikuan to be so generous and spend so much money to chase Chen Yun. Gee, I think Zhou Xinghuai is going to be dumped..."
"It's hard to say. How many years have we been together, and we will break up because of a necklace?"
"What do you know? This necklace is worth several apartments in your house! Who wouldn't be tempted by it?"
Everyone's words naturally reached the ears of Yan Qikuan and Zhou Xinghuai. They listened to these words with different expressions.
Yan Qikuan had a proud expression on his face as if he was confident of winning, while Zhou Xinghuai's face, on the other hand, was getting darker and darker, even a little downcast.
He has worked hard to save money for several years, but now he doesn't even have enough money for the down payment of the wedding house, let alone buying such a sapphire necklace for Chen Yun. It is estimated that all the money he has in his body combined, even the price of this necklace
I can’t even afford a scrap!
Zhou Xinghuai subconsciously touched the small box in his bag. For a moment, he felt that his diamond ring looked a little ridiculous in front of the sapphire necklace.
At this moment, Yan Qikuan took another step closer to Chen Yun with his head held high, picked up the sapphire necklace in the box, and said affectionately:
"Xiaoyun, no matter how expensive the gem is, it can't represent my sincerity to you! Come on, let me put it on for you?"
Seeing this, Shi Xianglan and Pu Jianwei exchanged glances, and both of them shouted in unison: "Put it on, put it on!"
"Yes, yes, another hug!"
"Just a hug is not enough. With such a big sapphire, can't you see Master Yan's sincerity? If you ask me, you have to kiss me!"
After hearing this, Zhou Xinghuai's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
Damn it, these two bastards actually encouraged his girlfriend to kiss another man in front of him?! Did they think he was dead?!
However, although he was angry, this time, Zhou Xinghuai did not get angry in a hurry, but looked at Chen Yun with forbearing eyes.
He wanted to see what Chen Yun would do.
Xiao Yun, who was on the side, did not intervene and just watched all this with cold eyes.
First, he saw his former self in Zhou Xinghuai, the cowardly, inferior self who only knew how to give in.
In this situation, it's useless to just rely on others to help. He has to be tough himself.
Secondly, although he and Zhou Xinghuai have been good friends for more than ten years, they have been busy with their own affairs over the years, and he doesn't know if Chen Yun has changed now.
After all, even the squad leader Shi Xianglan, who was once known as "Ghost Seeing Sorrow", has now become a person who bends for power and money. No one knows whether Chen Yun's heart has changed over the years.
She and Zhou Xinghuai are both one year older than Xiao Yun. They are 27 this year. For a woman, she has reached the age where she should settle down.
But now, she is still saving money with Zhou Xinghuai, saving every penny for the down payment of the house. The key is, with the salary and benefits of the two of them, they will not know whether they will save it until the end of the year.
On the contrary, the man in front of her who was pursuing her could casually give her a valuable sapphire necklace.
The house that she and Zhou Xinghuai worked so hard to pursue was simply a piece of cake for Yan Qikuan. It was estimated that as long as she nodded, he would be able to drag her to the sales department to buy one early tomorrow morning!
Xiao Yun is also curious about what Chen Yun will choose.
If Chen Yun finally chooses to give up her relationship with Zhou Xinghuai for many years because of the temptation of money, then this kind of girl is not worth Zhou Xinghuai's painstaking efforts, and it would be better to separate as soon as possible.
Thinking about it, Xiao Yun also looked at Chen Yun, very curious about what choice she would make.
