15. Strange woman

When Qi Yu rummaged through the delicate jewelry box, April was taking a shower with the door locked. Out of curiosity, he opened it and looked at it, and his eyes never left.

It was a necklace of perfectly cut diamonds, in the shape of droplets, roughly estimated to be made up of hundreds of diamonds interlocked, topped by a vivid blue tourmaline, the transparency and color of which was by no means ordinary. His hand shook slightly, and hundreds of diamonds suddenly emitted a brilliant brilliance, and you can imagine how intoxicating and charming it would be if it was in the sun.

"April, April?" He opened his throat and shouted April's name.

"Wait, I'll be right away." April answered, and hurriedly took a towel to dry the water droplets on his body. When she got dressed and came out, she saw Qi Yu holding the diamond necklace Xia Bai gave her in a daze.

"What's wrong?" It was a little cold after taking a shower, so she wrapped up her pajamas tightly and walked forward.

"Where did you come from?" Qi Yu asked her.

Only then did April see the full picture of the necklace and was taken aback. She didn't open the jewelry box when she brought it back, she roughly knew that the diamond necklace was expensive, but she didn't expect it to be such a luxurious and shining jewelry. Just by looking at the countless tiny diamonds, you know that they are worth a lot.

Hearing Qi Yu's question, April did not doubt him, and replied honestly: "This is a gift from a friend of mine, and it is considered my wedding gift." โ€

"What does that friend do? Is he rich? Qi Yu's eyes lit up and he asked her curiously.

It must be her boyfriend who has money. April hesitated for a few seconds, and seeing that Ah Yu seemed to be very excited, she paused and said vaguely: "I don't know what she does, after all, we haven't seen each other for many years." โ€

Ah Yu obviously didn't believe it, "I haven't seen you for so many years, will he give you such a valuable thing as soon as he comes up?" He said as he looked at her with a look of not being an idiot. April was speechless by him, to be honest, she didn't understand why Xia Bai was so generous to her, if she knew in advance that it was such a gorgeous necklace, she wouldn't accept anything.

"Stop rubbing around, let's go take a shower." April changed the subject and urged him.

The man reluctantly touched the tourmaline that was as bright as candy, a little reluctant to let go. When April saw it, he snatched it from his hand and muttered, "Such a valuable thing must be well hidden." โ€

With that, she put it in the locked drawer. After locking it, she hid the key again. But I was not very sure, and I wondered whether to store it in a bank safe.

Early the next morning, Qi Yu excitedly called April up. It's really strange how someone who usually likes to sleep lazily can be like playing chicken blood.

April was very curious, so the man spontaneously came up and said with a mysterious face: "I checked on the Internet yesterday, and the diamond necklace that your friend gave you is called "First Love", which is unique in the world. It is said to have been designed by a new jewelry designer to commemorate his first love. This diamond necklace is worth 300 diamonds and a top-quality Paraiba blue tourmaline pendant. โ€

Seeing the spit he said, April was embarrassed to interrupt him, so he let him continue. She doesn't know the concept of luxury, she just knows that it's expensive.

"Do you know how much this necklace is worth?"

April shook her head, confused.

Qi Yu gave her a hopeless look, and then gestured with her eyebrows: "13.14 million, it represents a lifetime." Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, glanced at April suspiciously, and asked in a somewhat tentative tone: "Is your friend a man or a woman?" โ€

"Female." April back. But I thought in my heart, for a lifetime, this is really a beautiful and romantic word. From this point of view, Xia Bai is doing well, and Gu Qingyan is very attentive to her. It's just that how could Xia Bai be willing to give her such a meaningful necklace?

April pondered whether to return it to Xia Bai, but when she thought of the other party's face that day, she hesitated. Forget it, maybe in a few days, Xia Bai will regret it, and he will take the initiative to ask her for it.

After a moment of stunned, there was a sudden shaking of the shoulder, and when April came back to her senses, she saw that Qi Yu was very excited, and the light in her eyes almost burned her: "April, we have made a fortune, as long as we sell this necklace, we will have a house and a car." โ€

April didn't dare to look at him directly, avoided his eyes, and said lightly: "Xia Bai didn't give me the jewelry appraisal certificate." โ€

"What does it matter, industry insiders can know the truth at a glance, even if they can't be sold at the original price, they can still sell for a few million."

"But ......," April wanted to say.

Qi Yuyi interrupted her, "Don't do it, give me that diamond necklace quickly, and try to get the new house done before we get married." As he spoke, he finally took the time to glance at April, and found the hesitation and resistance in her eyes, he frowned, and said unhappily: "What, you don't want to?" โ€

April didn't answer, just hugged the quilt and didn't speak.

"April, more than 10 million, we can't make so much money selling barbecue for a lifetime, what are you hesitating about?" The man softened his tone, trying to convince April.

The woman was silent for a long time, and then squirmed her lower lip, "I'm sorry." โ€

Qi Yu looked at April with hatred, "Are you stupid, what's the use of hiding that necklace, you can't solve the problem of food and clothing and are afraid of being remembered by thieves, it is better to get rid of it early and exchange it for cash, as long as we manage our money well, it is better to eat interest than we work hard." โ€

"No, this necklace is too expensive for me to sell." It's okay if she doesn't know what it means, and if she does, she can't sell anything. What's more, Gu Qingyan and Xia Bai had already helped her a lot, if it weren't for them, she and Ah Yu would have gone bankrupt a long time ago. To be a man, you can't help but cherish blessings.

Qi Yu was angry, and said without words: "You just hold this necklace of yours for the rest of your life." With that, he slammed the door and went out.

The two parted unhappily for this, and they met together in the evening and did not come back.

Every time it's like this, when there is a quarrel, Qi Yu is like a child, running away from home at every turn, and he doesn't answer the phone. Later, April was too lazy to call him, anyway, he had stayed enough and would come back obediently.

This time the awkward time seems to be a bit long, April is not at ease, give him a call, and sure enough, it is turned off. She closed her eyes a little weakly, not knowing what to do. It would be nice if she didn't accept this necklace in the first place, thinking like this, she called Xia Bai.

When the phone rang, Xia Bai was slightly closing her eyelids and drawing eyeliner, taking the time to glance at the mobile phone placed on the dressing table, when she saw a familiar name, her hand shook, and the eyeliner rubbed her eyelids and scratched a black mark at the corner of her eye.

She leaned over, turned her face sideways to look in the mirror, and frowned a little unpleasantly.

Glancing at the phone that was still vibrating, she hesitantly took it and answered it at the last second of the ring.

"Hello? April? She pulled her throat, and it was a somewhat sweet voice. Tilting his head to look at the woman in the mirror, the beauty was like a flower, smiling smartly, and a thick black stroke at the corner of her eye, like black tears.

"Yes, it's me." The woman on the phone was talking in a hurry, obviously having something to discuss.

Although she was a little impatient, the woman in the mirror smiled more and more sweetly, "Is there something wrong?" โ€

"That necklace ......" As soon as the words were spoken, April didn't know how to take it.

Xia Bai frowned, "What's wrong?" โ€

"The necklace is too valuable, I don't dare to take it out, and I don't have a place to hide it at home, I want to ......" April paused, not continuing. When she remembered what Xia Bai said at that time that she was going to throw away, she still had palpitations.

Xia Bai understood the meaning of her words. To be honest, it was indeed her impulse to give that necklace to April at that time. In retrospect, she regretted it more and more, but she didn't know how to open her mouth to April. However, when April did say that she wanted to return it to her, she was not happy again. If she is one thing, it is another thing for someone else to give.

"What's the matter, do you think the necklace doesn't look good?" Xia Bai asked deliberately.

"It's not." April wanted to speak again and again, but still didn't say anything.

"I've got something to do right now, let's talk about it." Xia Bai was about to hang up the phone, thought about it, and politely invited her again, "I have time to go shopping with you." โ€

"yes, okay." April Mune Tunnel.

"Goodbye then."

"Goodbye." Toot toot toot.

Staring blankly at the flickering screen on his phone, April didn't know what to do. Next month, she will get married, but she doesn't feel the slightest bit happy, she just thinks it's a matter of course. When the age is up, it's time to get married, Qi Yu is very good to him, and it is not bad to have someone to accompany him, so it is not bad to live like this for the rest of his life. But she always felt that something was missing, and her heart was empty.

Ten days later, Qi Yu came back obediently, and he didn't mention the diamond necklace again, and the two got back together. There are still more than 20 days left before the banquet, and the two of them can be busy with whatever they want, except for the occasional vendor who makes fun of them, as usual.

Maybe it's because life is โ–กโ–ก stable, and there will always be some hiccups happening. On that day, Qi Yu happened to go to the wholesale market, and in April, he was busy cooking at home, so he placed an order. When the woman knocked on the door, she was stir-frying shredded potatoes, and when she heard movement at the door, she thought that Qi Yu had returned, so she hurriedly ran to open the door.

When he saw the person coming, April was obviously stunned, "Who are you looking for?" โ€

The woman outside the door is not outstanding, but she has a pair of tender eyes, the corners of her lips are raised, and she has a peerless style with only a slight purs. She wore an off-white long trench coat with a khaki braided belt hanging diagonally around her waist, showing her graceful posture and calm bearing.

The woman did not answer, but asked, "Can I go in and sit?" "The gentle voice, like a spring breeze blowing, is very good.

April narrowed his eyes, stood still for a moment, and said softly, "Come in." April arranged for her to sit on the newly bought sofa, and suddenly remembered that the fire had not been turned off, so she ran to the kitchen and turned it out. When it came out, she made a cup of black tea and gently placed it on the table in front of the woman.

The table is the original table, and she deliberately laid out a printed tablecloth, plain pattern, which looks simple and soft without losing style, adding a touch of warmth to this small home.

The woman's green and thin white fingers rested on the edge of the cup, and her little finger was raised outward, flashing with silver white. April looked at it and saw that there was a simple tail ring on his little finger.

April felt a little familiar, and before she could remember where she had seen it, in the heat, the woman opened her lips and said unhurriedly: "I met you three years ago. โ€
