Chapter 26: Just Average

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In a flash, Hua Shasha’s face turned ghostly white.

To Shen Weixia, her replica of the necklace was worthless. But, in order to scam Yun Wei and not let the cat out of the bag, she’d spent close to two hundred thousand dollars to get someone to make it.

Shen Weixia had just destroyed two hundred dollars with his hammer, and the other one also wasn’t worth anything?

So, had she been scammed by Yun Wei in return?

But then again, why was her real necklace the fake since she had switched them herself?

When the crowd heard Shen Weixia say that the other necklace was just so-so, they commented, “It seems that both necklaces are just ordinary pieces. So, Mr. Shen, aren’t you being unfair by just crushing one and leaving the other untouched?”

Shen Weixia replied quietly, “The diamonds on the one I didn’t touch are red diamonds that are worth in the range of the high tens of millions. These diamonds are quite common, and you can easily find them on the market. However, this necklace’s craftsmanship and design are interesting and quite unique, thereby increasing its entire value. But, overall, it’s just an average piece of jewelry.”

Everyone was flabbergasted. A necklace with diamonds worth tens of millions and craftsmanship were just as much, was, in Shen Weixia’s opinion, just an average piece of jewelry?

Shen Weixia’s standards were way too high.

Handing the necklace back to Yun Wei, Shen Weixia said, “Take this back.”

“Thank you,” Yun Wei smiled sweetly.

Meanwhile, Hua Shasha stood frozen, in a state of shock.

She was struggling hard to figure out how the genuine necklace that she, Hua Shasha, had swapped out herself could have made its way back to Yun Wei while the replica had ended up back with her.

Jian Zhifei felt extremely embarrassed that her eighteenth birthday party had come to an end in such a sorry state.

Feeling humiliated, she was about to announce that the birthday party was over.

However, Yun Wei stopped her. “Jian Zhifei.”

Looking at Yun Wei, Jian Zhifei asked, “What now? What else do you want me to say?”

“If you like, I can let you play with this necklace for a few days.” Yun Wei extended her hand, dangling the necklace in front of Jian Zhifei.

Yun Wei could tell that Hua Shasha had specifically approached Jian Zhifei with ulterior motives.

But despite the fact that her family was wealthy, Jian Zhifei was a gracious person and not someone who was arrogant and abused their position to get what they wanted.

After all, this was Jian Zhifei’s eighteenth birthday party, and Yun Wei didn’t want her party ruined on her account.

Jian Zhifei hesitated for a moment.

Smiling innocently, Yun Wei said, “I like your birthday cake. Let’s make an exchange.”

Jian Zhifei could detect the sincerity in Yun Wei’s heart-warming smile and could see that the latter wasn’t putting on an act.

Being someone of good breeding, Jian Zhifei graciously accepted the offer. Reaching out to accept the necklace, she said, “Thanks. Please help yourself to the cake.”

She quickly put the diamond necklace around her neck.

The real necklace emitted a stunning, eye-catching brilliance that seemed to envelop Jian Zhifei’s entire body in a unique, different kind of glow.

It was very obvious what kind of effects a real necklace had on a person’s appearance compared to a fake one.

Everyone milled around Jian Zhifei and they all went with her to go cut the cake.

The music started, and the birthday party became merry and happy again.

Immediately, a servant served Yun Wei with a slice of cake while another servant of the Jian family went up to drag Hua Shasha toward the exit, saying, “Please.”

“Zhifei, Zhifei, Jian Zhifei!” Hua Shasha shouted desperately, “Miss Jian, I really didn’t come here to deceive you. I’ve been set up…”

But no one seemed to hear Hua Shasha’s protests.

As she ate the sweet and delicious birthday cake, Yun Wei’s lips curled slightly into a smile.
