Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 957: Chapter 932: Enemies Meet and Their Eyes Blaze with Hatred

Seeing Ye Chen dazed, Su Wanyi quickly said, “Ye Chen, what’s wrong? If you don’t feel like going somewhere, maybe we can go elsewhere.”

Su Wanyi thought Ye Chen was unwilling to accompany her to Jewelry Street, but was too embarrassed to say it, so she gave Ye Chen an out.

“Of course not. We two haven’t seen each other for so long, and I originally wanted to give you a gift when we met. It’s perfect that you want a ring. Saves me the trouble of thinking, I’m very happy to accompany you.” Ye Chen said with a smile.

After hearing Ye Chen’s words, Su Wanyi was very happy because Ye Chen has never given her a ring all this time.

She usually felt embarrassed to ask, wanting to take this opportunity for Ye Chen to give her one.

It’s not that Su Wanyi couldn’t afford it, but the meaning is different.

Ye Chen drove the Lykan car, taking Su Wanyi to Jewelry Street.

There are many shops on this street, all selling gemstones and jade.

Jewelry Street can be said to be a paradise for women, with its target audience mainly being females.

Compared to the jewelry counters in malls, the jewelry in Jewelry Street has a lot more variety and styles.

Since the entrance of Jewelry Street has a sign saying no vehicles allowed, Ye Chen had to park the Lykan car in the parking lot.

Su Wanyi held Ye Chen’s arm as the two walked over.

Once they entered Jewelry Street, upon seeing the shops, Su Wanyi’s expression became very excited. She let go of Ye Chen’s arm and hopped around the shops like a little bunny.

Ye Chen looked on, a bit speechless, shaking his head. It was his first time seeing Su Wanyi so excited.

It’s often said that women love jewelry as much as men love famous cars and watches. That statement isn’t false.

It’s not just evident from Su Wanyi, but any woman walking on Jewelry Street shows that love on her face.

Every time Su Wanyi entered a shop, Ye Chen followed to help with payment and to ensure quality.

This Jewelry Street has a feature: the closer to the entrance, the smaller the shops, with fewer valuable items and lower prices.

But the further in, the bigger the shops, with a dazzling variety of gemstones and jade, and the prices go up.

It’s said that big shops bully customers. That statement isn’t false.

Prices here range from a few hundred to over a billion. If you don’t understand, you’ll make loss-making purchases.

Most people come here just to look at styles and prices, and make a purchase if reasonable, with few truly informed buyers.

After all, it’s mostly men spending money here. As long as the price is right, they don’t research deeply, aiming to secure a girlfriend.

Because of this, the shop’s gemstones and jade may not all be natural, with some possibly being synthetic.

Of course, it’s down to individual luck, and buying a synthetic one means bad luck.

If you’re not a professional, it’s hard to distinguish true natural from synthetic with the naked eye.

Ye Chen and Su Wanyi visited several shops and saw many synthetics, with Ye Chen shaking his head every time Su Wanyi picked one up, stopping her.

Ordinary people can’t tell, but Ye Chen has the skills of a Gemstone Appraiser.

Of course, his actions annoyed the shop owners greatly.

If Ye Chen didn’t dress like someone wealthy, the young man would have been ridiculed a bit to put him in his place.

As they walked further, a very large shop caught their eye, completely different in level from the ones they’ve visited.

It’s the largest shop on Jewelry Street, with a luxurious and grand decor, giving an impression of high-end class.

Walking inside, the first thing that catches the eye are the shining words “Treasure Pavilion” in gold.

Ye Chen glanced at it, wondering how many genuine pieces are actually inside.

A large shop doesn’t guarantee many genuine items, it might be a deceiving tactic.

Regardless, Ye Chen wouldn’t be deceived, thus he wasn’t worried at all.

The shop is divided into three sections: low-grade, mid-range, and high-grade.

Of course, the prices between these sections vary greatly.

Su Wanyi walked inside, her eyes overwhelmed by all the jade, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, tourmalines, aquamarines, and many more items you’ve heard of or haven’t heard of.

Seeing so many beloved gemstones made Su Wanyi extremely excited. She’s loved these things since childhood, and only grew fonder as she matured.

She has a jewelry box with an assortment of her jewelry. Whenever she’s upset, she looks at it, magically changing her mood for the better.

While Su Wanyi carefully observed the jewelry in the display cases, Ye Chen had already toured all three sections, mentally cataloging the store’s offerings.

At this moment, a fashionably dressed couple walked in from outside.

The man wore casual clothes with a gold chain around his neck, looking like a showy wealth flaunter.

The woman wore a dress, her appearance quite ordinary, but adorned in radiant jewelry.

“Wanyi, long time no see. Running into you here, are you shopping alone on Jewelry Street?” the woman said sarcastically.

Upon hearing the woman’s voice, Su Wanyi smiled and said, “Xinxin, it’s you? What a coincidence.”

The girl before Su Wanyi was someone she met while studying abroad. They were once best friends, but fell out over a boy.

Su Wanyi focused on her studies during school, while Yang Xin’er had poor grades and often flirted with boys. Coincidentally she liked an upperclassman, but he liked Su Wanyi and rejected Xin’er’s confession, dealing a blow to prideful Yang Xin’er who has held a grudge for years.

Yang Xin’er saw Su Wanyi didn’t reply to her, thinking she must be embarrassed.

During their time abroad, Su Wanyi outshone her, and now Xin’er finally found a chance to get revenge.

She even thought, so what if you’re pretty, you still don’t have a boyfriend, wandering the street alone.

“Wanyi, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend Duan Bin, a sea-returned PhD now a general manager at a high-tech company, with a mere million annual salary.” Yang Xin’er modestly said, actually filled with pride inside.

Su Wanyi knew she was showing off, quickly praising, “Xin’er, you’re amazing, I’m so envious, your boyfriend is really outstanding.”

“He’s alright, if he hadn’t pursued me persistently, I wouldn’t have agreed.”

Yang Xin’er spoke with a face full of pride and smugness.

Duan Bin extended his hand, saying hastily, “Wanyi, right? I’ve often heard Xin’er talk about you.”

Su Wanyi didn’t shake his hand but smiled, “Yes, we used to be very close friends.”

She emphasized “used to,” making Yang Xin’er’s face darken slightly.

Yang Xin’er gritted her teeth, thinking you’ll see soon, I’m going to embarrass you.
