Ji Qingyun was startled, thinking that Zhou Rui was going to make a move with someone, so he hurriedly grabbed his arm.

Zhou Rui didn't move, only looked at Zhang Xuemin and Fu Meiyu, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know where you are from, but I think that since you speak the same language as us, you should be considered compatriots." Since you are compatriots, why should you trample on the hinterland under your feet, will this make you look very elegant!"

Zhang Xuemin originally thought that a woman like Ji Qingyun should be worthy of a man like him, how could a man like Zhou Rui who looked ordinary be worthy of such a beauty.

Now that Zhou Rui opened his mouth to reprimand, Zhang Xuemin was even more disdainful, and said: "We say ours, you can listen if you want to listen, you can pretend to be deaf and dumb if you don't want to listen, is it possible that my social status is higher than yours, and I still have to pretend to be a little person in front of you in a low-key manner? That is called hypocrisy!"

"Who are you talking about hypocrisy!" Ji Qingyun also said unhappily.

Zhang Xuemin glanced at Zhou Rui and sneered: "I didn't say that you are hypocritical, it's just that inland people like to brag, that's a fact." Don't you admit it?"

The vast majority of the people dining in the restaurant are not from Qingzhou. But just because they are not Qingzhou natives doesn't mean they are not mainlanders.

Zhang Xuemin's words, many people frowned, and some people even called the waiter and complained.

Seeing that things were a bit like a big fuss, the waiter didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he hurriedly went to the office and called the manager over.

Hearing the surrounding discussions and condemnations, Zhang Xuemin still did not change his attitude. His roots are in the coastal Zhang's house, which is just a temporary foothold for play. Even if he offends a few people, it doesn't matter, not to mention that he doesn't know any of the people here.

In Zhang Xuemin's heart, people he doesn't know are not a big character.

Therefore, he still sneered: "Why, I am wrong? Just like this red diamond, the rarest brilliant red in the world, even a person who does not know what to say can say that it can come up with a bigger one." Whether it's habitual bragging, or being too ignorant, you can judge for yourself. ”

There are also many people who look at Zhou Rui and secretly complain that this guy really doesn't understand or fake?

It was a red diamond, not an ordinary diamond, so rare that it was just one carat, and it would have fetched hundreds of thousands of dollars twenty years ago. The price alone is enough to see how precious it is.

Although the one given by Zhang Xuemin is not as big as one carat, it is not too small. Zhou Rui and Ji Qingyun's dress is better than ordinary people, the clothes are brands, but they are not too top-notch.

How could such a person get a bigger red diamond?

When you say this kind of thing, it is clear that you are giving people a handle, and you can't help yourself and others if you want to, it's too embarrassing!

The people at the table sitting near Zhou Rui originally had this idea, but after taking a closer look at Zhou Rui's face, several people were suddenly stunned.

They glanced at each other, and when they saw each other's eyes and expressions, they were all overjoyed.

"That's Doctor Zhou?"

"It seems like it's really ......"

"He's my idol, and he's here for dinner!"

Zhou Rui's name is well-known to many people in Qingzhou, but not so many have seen his true face.

And many of his deeds, after being widely circulated, have been somewhat exaggerated. Some people even said that Zhou Rui was the illegitimate son of a certain big man in Kyoto, and he came to Qingzhou just to exercise. Some people also say that he is actually a rich man hidden in the people and so on.

said everything, and Zhou Rui, who listened to some words, couldn't cry or laugh.

Those few people had seen Zhou Rui on TV reports, but they weren't very sure, and they were even more embarrassed to come to say hello at such a time.

At this time, Zhou Rui spoke: "You mean, if I can come up with a better and bigger red diamond than you, it can prove that you are really ignorant?"

Zhang Xuemin sneered again and again, he didn't believe that Zhou Rui could take it out at all. However, for the sake of insurance, he still said: "Of course, if you can take out a bigger red diamond than me on the spot, I will slap myself twice and apologize to you inlanders." But I advise you not to be impulsive, some bulls can be blown up, and no one cares if they blow up, but in front of me, that's asking for trouble!"

Ji Qingyun also walked over, pulled Zhou Rui and said in a low voice: "It's not worth being angry with him for this kind of thing, otherwise let's change the restaurant to eat." ”

Ji Qingyun knew very well that it was impossible for Zhou Rui to come up with a bigger red diamond than that. Because before coming, Zhou Rui had just come out of the pharmacy, except for the smell of medicinal herbs, how could there be anything else?

She was afraid that Zhou Rui would be arrogant and play this kind of losing bet with the other party, in that case, she would lose again.

Zhou Rui turned his head to look at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't you like this?" Actually, I prepared a necklace before, and I was afraid that you don't like red diamonds. ”

Ji Qingyun was slightly stunned, Zhou Rui prepared a necklace inlaid with red diamonds?

"Don't believe it?" Seeing the suspicion in Ji Qingyun's eyes, Zhou Rui asked.

Ji Qingyun naturally didn't believe it, but it was not good to say this kind of thing in front of everyone, so she was secretly anxious in her heart, why did this guy block the road by himself, what should I do?

Zhou Rui smiled and said, "Let's perform a magic trick for you." ”

As he spoke, he reached out and touched Ji Qingyun's face.

Zhang Xuemin snorted coldly when he watched from the side: "I don't know what to say, pretending to be a ghost." ”

Fu Meiyu took the red diamond necklace, looked at Ji Qingyun with pride, and said, "I advise you to go home and play this kind of trick, no one will be fooled." And not everything can be compared, different identities represent different levels. ”

In all fairness, Fu Meiyu herself has to admit that Ji Qingyun is indeed more beautiful than her. However, Fu Meiyu has her own pride, that is, her family background, which is by no means comparable to this kind of woman who does not even wear a top luxury product.

In this world, appearance is only a basic condition of life, but it is not a necessity. As long as there is money and power, it is enough to make up for these gaps.

Ji Qingyun was annoyed when she heard this, but she didn't have much heart to worry about her, because Zhou Rui's hand had already come to her ear.

Gently brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear, Zhou Rui smiled: "Your hair is so soft and fragrant, did you wash your hair when you went out?"

As he spoke, Zhou Rui took his hand back.

Ji Qingyun hummed, but before she could answer, she was stunned when she caught a glimpse of what Zhou Rui was doing.

Not only Ji Qingyun was stunned, but Zhang Xuemin, Fu Meiyu, and even the others in the restaurant were also stunned.

In Zhou Rui's hand, a necklace that was more exquisite than Zhang Xuemin and several times larger than the red diamond swayed gently in mid-air.

If Zhang Xuemin's red diamond is about the size of a grain of rice, then Zhou Rui's one is also the size of a fingernail.

Such a huge red diamond, under the light of the dining room, shimmered brightly, like it can dazzle the eyes of a blind person. Ji Qingyun, who was closer, was fascinated by it directly.

The allure of a red diamond is far greater than that of an ordinary diamond, and the vivid red color, in a near-perfect cut, reflects a brilliance that cannot be described in words.

"Do you like it?" Zhou Rui asked softly, "Do you want to bring it for you?"

Ji Qingyun raised her head and looked at his tender face, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red. Although she has been married to Zhou Rui for three years, at this moment, she still seems to have returned to the day she just got married.

Nervousness, anticipation, shyness, all sorts of emotions, to name a few.

"Hmm. She nodded slightly, let Zhou Rui lean over, and tied the necklace around her slender neck like a white swan.

At this moment, Zhang Xuemin's untimely voice came again, with a thick disdain and ridicule: "Take a red gem, can you compare it with my red diamond? It seems that you inland people like to brag and change concepts." ”

Fu Meiyu came back to her senses, looked at Zhang Xuemin, and asked in surprise, "Isn't that a red diamond?"

"Of course not!" Zhang Xuemin said with certainty: "How can there be such a big red diamond, the world's largest red diamond is named Mousaev, which was discovered in Brazil by a farmer in 1960, and then purchased by the jeweler Musayev Company, with a weight of 13.90 carats and 5.11 carats after carving, which is a truly priceless treasure." The vast majority of red diamonds are produced in Argyle, Australia, but for more than 30 years, only about 20 carats have been produced. Five years ago, my dad participated in a top auction in Hong Kong, and a 192-carat red diamond was sold for more than 20 million at that time. Last year, Argyle Diamond Mine exhibited a 2.11-carat FancyRed diamond, the second largest red diamond in the world, with an industry estimate of more than $10 million. His one was bigger than the FancyRed diamond, at least three carats. If it's really a red diamond, it's worth at least more than 100 million. Do you think someone would go out with 100 million dollars worth of jewelry? And it's so casual to take it out. ”

It can be seen that Zhang Xuemin has a lot of research on red diamonds, and what he said is the Tao.

Fu Meiyu listened quite convincingly, yes, such a big size, it is really a red diamond, and it will be sold for more than 100 million!

Such a treasure, usually a dozen or twenty bodyguards guard it and feel uneasy, how can they casually carry it with them.

In this world, there may really be someone who has such a huge collection of red diamonds, but it is absolutely impossible for such a character to appear in Qingzhou. Even if you come to Qingzhou, you won't bring the red diamond.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you really brought it, you can't take it out like this for a woman!

Anyway, Zhang Xuemin is sure that it is definitely not a red diamond, maybe a ruby or something, or even a man-made gem!

After all, inland people like to brag, and it is normal to take out fake and shoddy goods to pass them off.

Zhang Xuemin's words, Ji Qingyun, who listened to it, was stunned in his heart.

The ring that Zhou Rui gave me last time, and after I went to identify it, I found that the diamond on it was real!

And now, he has sent another red diamond.

Ji Qingyun believes that Zhou Rui will not lie about this kind of thing that is easy to distinguish between truth and falsehood. But think about what Zhang Xuemin said, if it is really a red diamond, the price will exceed 100 million!

100 million, in the eyes of the top rich, is just a small goal. But for Ji Qingyun, it is unimaginably astronomical.

She wanted the red diamond to be real, but she was afraid it was real.
