The person on the other end of the line was inaudible but Gu Juexi frowned at his remark and he walked outside with his phone.
“Blood diamond?”
“Yes, I discovered it when I was cutting the stone. It is a blood diamond deposited near a volcano. Gu, where did you get this stone?”
Gu Juexi reminisced the past event that led him to the stone. The diamond was indeed found in the mountain by himself. During his trip to Dubai, he had heard about a diamond in the mountain that was called the love stone. If you made a diamond ring with the stone, you could live with your loved ones happily ever after.
At that moment, he hadn’t had a clue regarding Ye Yuwei’s whereabouts or even if she was still alive. Despite that, he went into the mountain anyway and he found it.
He wasn’t sure if it was a volcano, but he was certain the diamond was found in the mountain.
“It would be a bad omen if blood diamond is cut. I don’t recommend you making the ring using this stone. Perhaps you could use it to make a necklace.”
“Are you superstitious about omens too?”
“No, no, no, it’s a true story. I was still a young boy when I first saw a blood diamond. My father said it was brought in by a man who wanted to make a ring for his wife. My father warned him about the bad omen, but he didn’t believe it and was insistent. So, my father made him a necklace and a ring.”
“Then?” Gu Juexi stood by the restaurant window and asked.
“Then the man’s fiance died. According to my father, the man became crazy, but the necklace and the ring disappeared. Rumor has it that they were taken away by his fiancée’s family,” the man said, “So, Gu, please take my advice, I really don’t suggest you make a ring from this stone.”
Gu Juexi tapped on the windowsill as if he was listening to a story.
“I’m going to propose to my wife in less than a month. I’m afraid I can’t find a suitable stone in such a short period of time.” Gu Juexi frowned and huffed at this unexpected turn of events.
The man was silent for a while until he spoke, “What about a normal diamond?”
No way.
Gu Juexi leaned against the window and looked at his shadow with his eyes downcast.
“Princess Pink of Country D has a love stone in her hand, but she might not give it away.”
Princess Pink?
Gu Juexi had heard of this person. “Okay, give me five days.”
“Gu—”
Gu Juexi ended the call before the man could speak.
He would pull off the perfect proposal.
It was incredibly unbelievable that he could find the blood diamond with a one in a million chance.
Anyway, regardless of the superstition, Gu Juexi acknowledged that his friend’s words had a certain impact on him. He would not let Ye Yuwei take any risks.
Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Xiao were still tit-for-tat, with Wen Tao and Xiao Yaojing keeping their distance from the mothers as precaution. Mr. Wen and Mr. Xiao tacitly allowed their wives to quarrel and they shared a conversation together.
Although Mr. Wen was not highly educated, they struck a wonderfully sensible and continuous conversation. Moreover, Mr. Xiao enjoyed listening to Mr. Wen’s stories.
After the verbal battle last night, today’s meeting was considered harmonious and peaceful.
After she was enraged by Gu Juexi, Ye Yuwei returned to the room. She picked up her phone and scrolled through her social media account. She saw that Nalan Chunbo had posted some pictures on his page but she couldn’t figure out the location.
[Yezi: Brother, where are you now?]
The man on the other end of the line replied to her message pretty quickly.
[Brother: Getting some fresh air. I can’t tell you my current location, you are a traitor.]
Ye Yuwei narrowed her eyes as she saw the message. You will lose friends with that mouth.
