Chapter 105: The Belated Wedding Ring

“Let me buy it first?”

Damn it!

In this situation, how could I still afford to buy anything?

Wang Qi was shocked.

He never expected Hong Yu to say such words—it was blatant revenge!

Liang Jiajie immediately understood what was going on.

He turned to carefully scrutinize Wang Qi, then smiled and said, “Since Mr. Hong has spoken, you can go ahead and buy it first. Which one do you like?”

Wang Qi was puzzled, and the intern cleverly took out the jewelry box that the salesperson had just packaged.

“Manager Liang, it’s this one,” the intern quickly handed it over.

Liang Jiajie nodded, took the jewelry box, and casually handed it to Wang Qi with one hand. “Wow, 1.2 million yuan, you really have money.”

“Keep it safe. After you pay, don’t just stand here and be an eyesore.”

Snap!

Is this how you conduct business?

Wang Qi’s face flushed with anger, but he didn’t dare say a word.

He knew that if he spoke out rudely, both he and his real estate business would be ruined.

Suppressing his fury, Wang Qi took out his bank card and swiped it.

But even if he bought the diamond ring now, he wouldn’t dare give it to Lin Shuyu in person.

He wasn’t stupid—Liang Jiajie’s attitude was so obvious, Hong Yu must have some powerful backing.

If he handed over the ring now, even if Hong Yu stayed silent, Liang Jiajie might beat him up.

Thinking about the continued humiliation, Wang Qi turned and prepared to leave.

“Stop! Who said you could go?” Suddenly, Hong Yu’s voice rang out behind him.

Even if Wang Qi were made of stone, he had a temper.

Besides, Liang Jiajie was intimidating, so Wang Qi didn’t dare offend him, but Hong Yu was different.

Although Wang Qi suspected Hong Yu had a formidable background, deep down he still thought of him as a loser, a pauper.

Wang Qi snapped impatiently, “What do you want? I’ll leave if I want to. Do I need your permission?”

Liang Jiajie’s eyes flashed cold. “Mr. Hong says don’t leave, so you’d better stand right there!”

“Dare to talk back again, and I’ll make sure you don’t walk out of this door!”

Wang Qi fell silent under Liang Jiajie’s glare.

Hong Yu smiled and said, “Manager Liang, my wife just spotted a diamond ring. It’s the same model as the one he bought, just with a bigger diamond. Could you bring it over for me to see?”

“Not at all, not at all!” Liang Jiajie hurriedly said, “Mr. Hong, no need to call me Manager Liang, just call me Jiajie.”

“Manager Liang, this is the diamond ring this gentleman wants!” To everyone’s surprise, the intern promptly handed the ring to Liang Jiajie as soon as Hong Yu mentioned it.

“Good, good, you have potential,” Liang Jiajie praised.

The intern beamed with joy, while the other salespeople nearby felt a bit resentful.

An intern stealing the spotlight like this made the seasoned staff feel uncomfortable.

But they only complained silently, still wearing smiles—after seeing what happened to the previous salesperson, they dared not say anything inappropriate now. If they did, their fate would be worse.

Actually, the intern was just fighting for her chance. Her sales performance during this internship was at the bottom. If she didn’t step up, she’d be out next month.

Holding the jewelry box, Hong Yu took out the diamond ring.

Lin Shuyu knew what he was trying and quickly refused, “Hong Yu, this diamond ring is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”

Liang Jiajie laughed beside them, “Sister-in-law, what are you saying? It’s already quite astonishing that a diamond ring from our jewelry exhibition caught your eye.”

“This really isn’t expensive, and I definitely won’t charge for this diamond ring.”

Before Lin Shuyu could refuse, Liang Jiajie turned to the intern, “Go fetch the most expensive piece in the store. I’ll package it all up and give it to my sister-in-law.”

The intern hesitated, “Manager Liang, that piece is worth…”

“Go! I told you to go. Why so many words?” Liang Jiajie snapped angrily. His face shifted quickly—from praising the intern’s cleverness to scolding her.

Hong Yu frowned but said nothing.

The intern hurried back into the store to get the jewelry. Although Lin Shuyu didn’t hear the details, she knew the piece Liang Jiajie intended to give was very costly.

She quickly declined, “Manager Liang, I really can’t accept your jewelry. Please take it back.”

Liang Jiajie chuckled, “Sister-in-law, this really isn’t much—just a matter of a few tens of millions.”

Damn!

Just a few tens of millions?

Chen Yingying, standing quietly nearby, suddenly had glowing eyes.

She had been thrilled to receive a diamond necklace earlier, but now she regretted it.

If she had known how wealthy and generous Liang Jiajie really was, she would have asked for jewelry worth over ten million right away.

Losing out on a few million like that made her heart ache.

Seeing Lin Shuyu still hesitant, Liang Jiajie suddenly turned to the sales staff standing aside and said with a smile, “All of you, pack up the jewelry from this exhibition and have it delivered to my sister-in-law’s home.”

What?

The salespeople were stunned. The jewelry in this exhibition was worth hundreds of millions. Just giving it away like that?

Wang Qi was equally shocked. The value of the exhibition’s jewelry was close to a third of their Wang Real Estate’s worth.

Moreover, Wang Real Estate was valued at over a billion, with cash and assets totaling only a few hundred million.

Could it be that Liang Jiajie was basically gifting the entire Wang family’s fortune?

Wang Qi knew the gap between him and Liang Jiajie was vast, but he hadn’t expected it to be this huge.

Seeing Liang Jiajie’s serious demeanor, Lin Shuyu tried to reason with him several times but felt she couldn’t change his mind. She then looked to Hong Yu.

Hong Yu sighed, “Jiajie, what do you take me and my wife for?”

Liang Jiajie quickly tried to please, “Of course, I see you as my brother and sister-in-law. As a younger brother, isn’t it right to give you some gifts?”

Hong Yu’s brow twitched.

Liang Jiajie was over thirty, nearly forty, more than ten years older than Hong Yu. For him to shamelessly call them brother and sister-in-law like that made Hong Yu feel a little embarrassed.

Hong Yu smiled wryly, “That’s not what I meant. We only liked the diamond ring. You can keep the rest for yourself to sell.”

Liang Jiajie looked a bit troubled. “Mr. Hong, I honestly want to give these to you. Don’t think I’m…”

Hong Yu interrupted, “Alright, I understand your kindness. Let’s just say I owe you one…”

He almost said “favor,” but reconsidered—it wasn’t something he could take lightly.

Looking into Liang Jiajie’s hopeful eyes, Hong Yu laughed, “Forget it. If there’s anything you need in the future, I’ll help if I can.”

“Thank you, thank you, Mr. Hong,” Liang Jiajie beamed, while Hong Yu didn’t look at him anymore.

Slowly, Hong Yu knelt on one knee, took Lin Shuyu’s small hand into his own, and said softly,

“Wife, I’m sorry.”

“Please accept this belated wedding ring, will you?”
