Chapter 288: Seeing but Not Owning (1)
At the Cartier counter in the VIP Premium Lounge.
The manager of the counter took out all the expensive rings and placed all of them on the table in front of Mrs. Gu.
The rows of the glittering rings dazzled the eye!
As this was a luxury brand that was renowned globally, any ordinary rose gold diamond ring would already cost tens of thousands of yuan. Not to mention, these diamond rings in front of her were the treasures among all their rings. Every diamond ring here was incredibly expensive!
“I think that this diamond ring is really good. The clarity of the diamond is good, the diamond is big, and the style is nice.” Mrs. Gu picked up a ring for Lin Qingya to try on.
When Lin Qingya looked at the diamond ring that was shining brightly under the light, she was so excited that it was hard for her to suppress it.
A diamond ring like this that cost millions of yuan was something she wouldn’t be able to afford even if she worked her whole life. But now, she was about to wear it on — wait no, she could even choose a better one!
She could choose and get all the diamond rings and other jewelry here as she pleased!
All these salespeople who used to pick on her if she took another glance at this jewelry in the past were carefully serving her like they were maids. They were sucking up to her and begging her to buy more!
This was the life she, Lin Qingya, should be living! From today on, she would continue living this life!
But no matter how excited she was, she only showed shyness on her face. “If Mom thinks that that is nice, that would be nice.”
As she said so, she stuck out her hand, wanting to try the ring.
But the ring in Mrs. Gu’s hand was taken away by Gu Chenyi and placed back to its original position.
“What’s wrong?” Mrs. Gu looked up at her son and asked, “Is the design I have chosen not nice?”
“Qingya likes the simple life. If you make her wear that, she will feel uncomfortable,” Gu Chenyi said as he looked at Lin Qingya. “Qingya, isn’t that right?”
Lin Qingya: “…”
She didn’t know how to answer Gu Chenyi at that moment. If she spoke, she would have no chance with this big diamond ring, but if she said no, then… they would definitely notice there was something amiss.
After she thought about it, she could only lower her head so that she would give the feeling that she wasn’t a girl who enjoyed the extravagant life. But even though she didn’t enjoy it, it was a senior who had picked the ring for her and she couldn’t reject it!
When Mrs. Gu saw the situation, she scolded her son, “You kid, what are you talking about?! Which girl doesn’t like diamonds?! And you’re selecting your wedding ring — you’ll have only one of that in your whole lifetime! You’ll have to choose a big one no matter what!”
“Mom, it’s not that you don’t understand Qingya, it’s just that she wouldn’t wear it even if you chose a big one for her. Furthermore, after she had given birth, she’d have to wear such a big diamond ring while taking care of the baby. What if she accidentally hurts him? I think that it’s best to choose a simple yet elegant one.”
After Gu Chenyi had said that, he looked at the counter manager standing at the side and said, “Bring over your simple and elegant platinum wedding rings.”
The counter manager was speechless.
The young master of the Gu family is getting married and they are choosing platinum rings?
Mrs. Gu furrowed her brows and said, “Chenyi, you can wear these platinum rings for fun normally. But you’re getting married. These aren’t really suitable, right?”
The Gu family was a prestigious family. If their newlyweds were wearing platinum rings during the wedding… wouldn’t people suspect and guess that the Gu family was about to collapse?
“Why would it be unsuitable? Our lives belong to us, so why do we have to care what others think of us? Besides that, after being with Qingya, I realized how wasteful and extravagant our lifestyle was. We shouldn’t waste resources in this way.”
