Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

Whoever said "born in sorrow, died in peace" is really right, it is simply the truth. I was just too happy, and I didn't know why I was so happy, so when I suddenly received a call from my mother in my sleep that morning, it was like a bolt from the blue.As soon as the phone was connected, my mother was bombarded with lightning, thunder and crackling, and scolded me thoroughly, from head to toe, from essence to appearance, and she didn't forget to bring a sentence: "You Just like your dad, disorganized and undisciplined." Zheng Kaiwen happened to push the door open and came in. Seeing me murmuring in the quilt, he suddenly lifted the quilt.

I hastily raised a finger to my lips, gave a soft "shh", then pointed to the phone, and mouthed "my mom". My mom was scolding happily on the phone and didn't listen at all to our whispers.I took the phone to the bedside table two feet from my ear. Zheng Kaiwen smiled and said, "How old are you, do you still need a mother?" I pulled up the quilt to cover my body, and said righteously: "Whoever let you in, if you don't knock on the door, I will sue you for trespassing and bullying good women." "Hey, this is my house, okay? I let you stay here with good intentions, and you're still going to sue." Zheng Kaiwen smiled, pulled my cat pajamas that leaked from the corner of the quilt, and said, "Besides, you don't seem to have Come of age."

"Get off!" I kicked and beat him and pushed him out of the room, and then guessed that my mother had almost scolded me, and when I picked up the phone, I heard my mother yell: "Little red guy, where did you go? Gossip!" "Mom, I'm here." "Nong died at Ali's place? If Ah Nan hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had gone to Hong Kong again. Now that Nong has grown up and his wings are hardened, he can fly if he wants to." "Mom, I just came to Hong Kong to work, and it's not like I won't go back." "Nong went to the number one, and it's not even a phone call. What did you think?"

"Who said it's a month, it's only a week." "Don't forget that there is something important today." Zheng Kaiwen poked his head in suddenly, pointed to his watch to indicate the time, and then whispered, "Say morning to my mother-in-law for me!" I made a fierce face at him, mom He yelled at the other end: "Nong, help Sanin to speak? Isn't Nong alone in Hong Kong? Hurry up, are you going to help Sanin and gossip?" "Mom, I'm going to work now, and I'll call you later." At this time, I heard my father's voice on the phone saying, "Okay, it's okay if my daughter is fine. Why are you talking so much? It's thirty I'm an old man, and I'm always being supervised by others, if you don't bother me, I'm bothered."

I was so happy that I yelled: "Dad, I love you." With a click, I hung up the phone. Running to the bathroom on the ground floor, I saw Zheng Kaiwen shaving with white foam all over his mouth.Seeing me, he approached me with a smile and said, "Did you say hello to my mother-in-law for me?" "Who is your mother-in-law! My mother just heard that I came to Hong Kong alone and was about to tear me apart. If she knew that I was living with you now, she wouldn't have cut me into pieces." I huffed Brushing his teeth, Zheng Kaiwen looked at me with a smile and said, "So it's cohabitation anyway, there is no difference between one room and two rooms."

"Of course there is a difference! Don't think so beautifully..." Zheng Kaiwen laughed loudly, wiped his face with a towel, kissed me hard and said, "Hurry up, brush your teeth, wash your face and have breakfast, or you'll be late." I waved my fist behind his back and brushed my teeth. Although I don't have a formal job now, I am definitely not an idle person wandering around with Zheng Kaiwen every day. He either thinks my clothes are not comfortable enough, or that my hair is either long or short.Once it annoyed me, and said angrily: "Why don't you take me to Korea for plastic surgery, it's much easier than this." He laughed and said: "I like the original in everything, including my wife." So I followed him He traveled all over the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, and met female stars in beauty salons several times, and all of them seemed to be old acquaintances with him.So after I became familiar with the way, I simply didn't take him there.

Today, it was he who gave the ultimatum long ago, so I had to come out with him. "Here we are." Zheng Kaiwen suddenly parked the car aside, and I looked around. This place is just a dilapidated small storefront. "What is this place?" I loosened my seat belt, and he had already got out of the car, opened my car door and said, "Let's go, you'll know when you get in." Walking into a small door, there is only a small staircase leading to the underground, which can only accommodate one person. Zheng Kaiwen walked behind me, holding my hand carefully, and we both walked down the stairs sideways like crabs, and immediately we I saw a light.There is a crystal chandelier above the glass hall. A middle-aged man in a suit and a famous brand came forward and said politely, "Mr. Zheng, you are here."

His eyes turned to me, Zheng Kaiwen gently pulled me to his side, put his right hand on my waist, and said, "Manager Chen, this is my wife." "Who is your wife?" I glared at him. "Oh, Mrs. Zheng, Mr. Zheng, everything is ready inside, please follow me." The manager immediately put on a coquettish attitude and led us inside. "No hurry, why don't we take a look at the factory first, and then choose slowly. Luo Xin probably hasn't seen the factory yet, are you interested?" Zheng Kaiwen looked at me and asked, "Mrs. Zheng?" Of course what he said was what.Manager Chen then led the way in person: "Okay, then I will show the two of you around personally, please."

We walked side by side in the narrow aisle, Manager Chen patiently and carefully explained one by one. "Do you also have a little share here?" I raised my head and asked him in a low voice. He smiled at me and said bluntly, "It's not a little bit, it's a lot." Manager Chen walked in front of us, led us through the workshops, and introduced with seriousness and focus: "Although they are the same diamonds, diamonds also have different grades. There are also big differences in the color and origin. Depending on how the sanding is done and the cut surface, the gloss can look very different."

I hurriedly grabbed Zheng Kaiwen and walked aside, and whispered: "Zheng Kaiwen, do you really want to buy me a diamond ring? I just said that casually that day..." "I just listened casually." He took my hand, walked into the workshop where the workers were working, pointed to the processed products of different styles on the workbench and said, "So, you just listened casually." Choose, you don’t need to be serious. Choose casually. Look, which one do you like more casually?” I was angry and funny, I gave him a look and said, "Don't regret it."

"I even did such a risky thing as marrying you, so there is nothing to regret." He smiled and picked up a diamond ring, put it on my ring finger and said, "This looks quite casual." "It's too casual." I took off the ring and said, "Since you let me choose, then you should be careful." "Why don't we go to the reception room?" Manager Chen is really good at flattering, as soon as he saw my eyes roll, he immediately led Zheng Kaiwen and me to the reception room graciously. He took out a tray from the safe, and there were dozens of diamonds of similar size on it. Wearing white gloves, he carefully picked up one and put it under the light in front of my eyes, saying: "Please look, Mrs. Zheng, This is an unpolished diamond, although the color and gloss are considered first-class, but compared with the polished one, it is still much worse." As he said that, he took another polished diamond from his side. Even if I am a layman, I can tell that the two diamonds have completely different brilliance. "It seems that this one is brighter." I pointed to the polished diamond and said, "And the luster is very full." "Mrs. Zheng has a good eye." Manager Chen smiled apologetically, "This diamond is also very suitable for setting a wedding ring. If the setting is made into a four-claw shape, it will look even bigger." Zheng Kaiwen kept holding my hand with a smile, and finally asked me: "Like this?" I shook my head and said, "I don't like it. You can't type when you wear it." Zheng Kaiwen took my hand and looked at it again and again, and said with a smile: "If you marry me, why will you be required to work and type in the future? You can just stay at home and be your Mrs. Zheng with peace of mind." "No." I said seriously, "You can't deprive me of my personal and social value with a 5-carat diamond ring." Zheng Kaiwen raised his eyebrows and said, "It's so serious." "It's okay, Mrs. Zheng doesn't like the one with a raised height. We also have a built-in style." Manager Chen carefully packed up the diamonds. In the end, among the pile of rings, I chose a platinum diamond ring with an inlay of less than 50 points. The price is not expensive and the style is very ordinary.Manager Chen wiped his sweat and smiled apologetically. Maybe he felt that he was too incapable of taking care of their business, so he kept saying, "Mrs. Zheng has a good eye." I smiled and said, "They are all as good-sighted as I am. I'm afraid Manager Chen will lose money and make money." Zheng Kaiwen didn't speak all the time, and when Manager Chen went out, he asked me with a smile: "Why save me money?" "It doesn't mean that." I put my hand on his arm and said, "I don't care for things that money can buy. What I care about is your heart. If you really want to please me, let me see you." How about it?" Zheng Kaiwen smiled, took my hand and said, "Your asking price is really high." I held his face in both hands, looked at it carefully, and said, "Your face is clearly engraved with the words 'rich man'. I'm not a fool, so of course the asking price is high! Otherwise, I'd lose my life." Manager Chen didn't come in for a long time, Zheng Kaiwen walked aside to answer the phone, so I took advantage of the gap to go out to find the bathroom. This underground factory is really a mess, so I couldn't find the bathroom for a long time, and there was no sign. I finally encountered the sign in the corridor, and suddenly I heard someone calling me: "Mrs. Zheng." I turned my head and saw Manager Chen walked towards me with a small bag in his hand. I ruined their business, of course I was apologetic and embarrassed, and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" "It's just ahead, I'll take you there." Manager Chen led me all the way, and suddenly smiled and said, "Mrs. Cheng, you are not from Hong Kong, are you?" I said, "I'm from Shanghai." He was slightly taken aback, and said in a low voice, "No wonder." I also laughed along with me, and finally couldn't hold back the words I held in my stomach, so I said, "Manager Chen, do you want to say that Shanghai people are really petty and weird, and for such a big thing as marriage, even a one-carat I can’t bear to buy a diamond ring…” Manager Chen laughed and said, "I definitely don't mean that, but I want to give you a new look." Impressed?Is it because I hate the rich and love the poor?I am more used to Yan Xiaonan poking my forehead and scolding: "Liang Luoxin, you are stupid. Don't you count which is bigger, 50 points or 5 carats? There are no women who think diamonds are too big for this kind of thing. You are a Stupid!" But this manager Chen smiled at me in the opposite direction, and said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with women's love of jewelry. But those girlfriends brought by Mr. It is good or bad. I only know to choose the big one and the expensive one. When I buy it back, I immediately turn it into A goods and exchange it for cash.” "Is there such a thing?" "Mrs. Zheng, but..." He hesitated for a moment, and I smiled and comforted him and said, "It's okay, just say what you have to say." Then he continued: "Mrs. Zheng, I said something offensive. Those Ladies come here to choose diamonds, most of them are to go out to support their husbands. Mr. Zheng can be regarded as a man of dignity. Sometimes, you have to think about Mr. Zheng. After all, you also represent Mr. Zheng's face when you go out. " These words speak for themselves.I don't know if I should say he can do business or I can't be a rich wife. "Thank you very much, Manager Chen. There are many things I really don't understand, so please forgive me. I'll take a closer look later, and please give me some advice." Manager Chen greeted me very politely, then turned around and left. When I came out of the bathroom and was washing my hands by the sink, a burst of perfume suddenly hit my face like a gust of wind.I raised my head, and saw an extremely voluptuous young woman touching up her makeup in the mirror.She also saw me and smiled slightly.I hurriedly smiled too, trying hard to recall where I had seen this face before. But she finally didn't think about it, she turned around and walked out. I also went out, and as soon as I turned the corner, I saw a man on the phone at the end of the corridor. The woman walked all the way to the man's side and immediately held his arm, looking extremely intimate.The man turned his head and saw me. At that moment, I was struck by lightning, and it turned out to be Du Zeshan.
