Chapter 21: Still Too Spoiled
Wedding ring.
When she married Huo Zhizhou, he spent a fortune to have a ring custom-made for her.
When he spent tens of millions to buy that one-of-a-kind pink diamond for her, her friends and family were all happy for her.
Even Su Zhu said she was jealous.
To this day, people are still discussing the whereabouts of that diamond.
She looked down at the wedding ring on her left ring finger, which she had never noticed before, and after much consideration, decided to sell it.
Huo Zhizhou quickly learned about this. He stroked the wedding ring on his ring finger, his dark eyes more dangerous than ever before: "She's really bold, even daring to sell her wedding ring."
We've spoiled them too much.
That's what makes her so lawless.
"Tell everyone in the industry that anyone who dares to buy her stuff is going against me." Huo Zhizhou's calm tone was the calm before the storm.
Jiang, the special assistant beside him, immediately responded, "Yes."
The news quickly spread among people in the industry, who deliberately avoided mentioning Su Zhu when the information was disseminated.
Jiang Ruan found it strange.
At first, people were asking questions, but then they all stopped talking about it.
Desperate to sell it, she had no choice but to try selling it offline. She thought she could find a diamond recycling place, but to her surprise, all the shops refused to sell it to her when they saw what she had in her hand.
"This is too valuable, we don't accept it here."
"We only accept the highest-end luxury goods; we are not qualified to accept such unique diamonds."
"Please find the next one."
Every company uses pretty much the same excuse.
Jiang Ruan had no choice but to ask Su Zhu if she had any reliable personal diamond recycling recommendations.
"Why are you asking this?" Su Zhu was a little surprised. Recalling what had happened recently, she made a bold guess: "You want to sell something?"
Jiang Ruan nodded: "Mm."
"Don't you like wearing jewelry?" Su Zhu knew her preferences.
"I don't want to wear the one he gave me," Jiang Ruan said casually. "It's good to make use of it."
Hearing her say that, Su Zhu didn't try to persuade her anymore. If she were to date someone and end up being treated so disgustingly, she would definitely get rid of everything the other person gave her, leaving nothing behind.
“Most secondhand luxury goods stores will accept them.” Su Zhu hadn’t realized that she was selling the ring, so she pointed her in the right direction. “Show me the item, and I’ll ask around for you.”
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ruan took the ring out of her bag and handed it to her.
Su Zhu took it, and when she opened the box and saw what was inside, a series of question marks appeared on her forehead: "You're selling this?!"
Jiang Ruan nodded.
“I remember Huo Zhizhou bought this diamond for over 90 million yuan.” Su Zhu remembered it vividly. “With the later workmanship, the overall value is over 100 million yuan.”
"Yes." Jiang Ruan remembered as well.
Because she remembers how good he was to her, she finds it even more unacceptable that he loved someone else while loving her. If the feelings he gave her were also given to someone else, she would rather not have them at all.
"Really for sale?" Su Zhu asked repeatedly.
Jiang Ruan had already thought it through on the way: "It's for real."
"Are you facing some kind of difficulty?" Su Zhu asked, looking at the valuable ring in her hand.
It's true that Huo Zhizhou cheated on her, but it's also true that he was good to her in the past. Given Jiang Ruan's personality, she wouldn't have disposed of the wedding ring so quickly unless something more serious and urgent happened.
Thinking of Huo Zhizhou's threat, Jiang Ruan casually made up an excuse: "There's no difficulty, I just want to sell it."
Su Zhu looked at her.
I always felt she was lying.
“Keeping it will always remind me of all the favors and exceptions he made for me in the past.” Jiang Ruan was telling the truth. How could she forget all the pampering she had received over the years in just a few days?
From childhood to adulthood, his love for her was the most meticulous.
Su Zhu did not refute this point.
Before Su Anran's incident, she had never met a man better than Huo Zhizhou, whether on TV, in novels, or in her own life.
He would present Jiang Ruan with the best of everything.
He will personally take care of everything for her.
When someone says that Jiang Ruan, who is all looks and no talent, doesn't deserve his kindness, he will first teach that person a lesson, and then slowly tell him: She deserves all the kindness I have shown her.
In those years, people in the industry were saying that they never expected the second young master of the Huo family, who was so decisive and efficient in business, to be such a romantic.
A romantic.
She thought so too at the time.
Unfortunately, people change, and even someone as perfect as him couldn't overcome the obstacle of a third party.
"Do you have any reliable people to recommend?" Jiang Ruan asked again.
“Yes, there is, but many people knew when he bought this for you. You have to be prepared that no one will dare to take it over.” Su Zhu analyzed seriously with her, “Even if there is, the price won’t be too high.”
“I know.” Jiang Ruan had considered these things when she decided to sell. “A minimum of one million is fine.”
Su Zhu: "..."
Su Zhu sighed: "Although I called Huo Zhizhou a scumbag, you only want to sell something worth hundreds of millions for a million. I want to call you a spendthrift."
Jiang Ruan pursed her lips, not daring to reply.
From a value perspective, her behavior is indeed that of a spendthrift.
But she needs to raise the money for her mother's surgery as soon as possible. If she can sell the property quickly, she will not hesitate to do so, even if it's only worth 500,000 or 600,000, let alone 1 million.
"I know two people who collect private items. I'll go ask them for you later." Su Zhu was really good to her. "I'll let you know if it works out."
Jiang Ruan said "okay".
The two chatted for a while longer before Su Zhu suddenly got up and went to her room.
When she came out again, she had a bank card in her hand: "There are more than six million in here. Although you are not sure what difficulties you have encountered, as your best friend, there is no reason for me not to help you when you are in trouble."
"I really don't have any difficulties, I just want to make use of waste," Jiang Ruan refused.
"Don't give me that, I know who you are!" Su Zhu forcibly put the bank card into her bag, and when she tried to take it out and give it back to her, she threatened, "If you dare to take it out and give it back to me, I'll break off all ties with you."
Jiang Ruan's hand froze, unsure of what to do.
"Keep this card for emergencies. The PIN is the last six digits of your bank card number." Su Zhu knew she must have something on her mind.
Jiang Ruan felt the bank card in her bag was incredibly heavy: "Su Zhu..."
“You have to be prepared for the ring not to sell,” Su Zhu reminded her. “You should know Huo Zhizhou better than I do. Think about what the consequences will be if he finds out you sold the ring.”
Jiang Ruan was well aware of these things.
But she can't care about that anymore.
"I really can't take this card." She took it out and handed it to her, afraid that Huo Zhizhou would harm her. "If I really encounter any difficulties, I will definitely come to you first."
Su Zhu stared at her, and her gaze suddenly fell on the marks on her neck.
Jiang Ruan felt uneasy under his gaze: "What's wrong?"
