Chapter 40: Catwoman

"This is the Natural History Museum, it's spectacular!" Looking at the magnificent and vast museum in front of him, Ling Xiao couldn't help but be full of amazement.

Located at 900 Expo Boulevard, adjacent to the south of USC and north of Expo Park, the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History is a popular tourist attraction in Los Angeles.

They arrived early this morning, but even so, there were already more than a dozen large nanny cars parked around the museum, and a few reporters were shooting around the museum.

"Hmmm! It is one of the top 10 museums in the United States, with only three museums in the natural history category in the top 10 in the country, and three natural history museums in Washington, New York, and Los Angeles. Michaela Baines nodded with a smile and introduced to Ling Xiao: "The natural history museum in New York just filmed a movie called Wonderful Night at the Museum last year, which will be released this Christmas, and when the time comes, you will find that in fact, most of the natural history museums in the United States are poorly furnished, and if you go to one of them, there is no need to go to other places." ”

"Is that so?" Although Ling Xiao has been in this world for more than twenty years, his memories of the previous ten years have been in a deep sleep, and he has been busy with his own cultivation for three years since he woke up, and he has never left Los Angeles to go to any other places at all. Even San Francisco, San Diego, and Las Vegas, which are so close by, haven't been there.

"Let's go, let's go inside, maybe you'll run into some unpleasant bitches in a minute." Michaela Baines glanced at the nanny car parked around, and her face quickly turned cold.

She beckoned, and immediately took her agent, assistant, makeup artist, and Ling Xiao, and several people walked towards the side hall on the east side of the museum.

Today is a jewelry show jointly organized by several famous jewelry companies in Los Angeles, and there are hundreds of pieces of jewelry on display, which is why so many models and female celebrities are invited to participate in the catwalk. Naturally, a few who perform well will be favored by jewelry companies and sign large endorsement contracts.

Michaela Baines wore a baseball cap on her head and toad glasses on her face, which covered most of her face at once. She came here today to make a splash, so naturally she won't reveal her hole cards before the critical moment comes.

Ling Xiao nominally came as Michaela Baines' makeup artist assistant, he didn't know what Michaela Baines's assistant and agent thought, at least they didn't say a word in front of Ling Xiao.

In Hollywood, top models tend to make the transition to being actors or singers at the right time. After all, compared to the latter two, the former's career life is too short.

Michaela Baines is also a top model, and the box office hit of the film she starred in last year, she herself became popular, and she also has two or three film contracts in hand, and once filming starts, millions of dollars will be credited, so among these people, Michaela Baines's cast is very high.

The main exhibits in this year's "Diamonds: Rare Brilliance" exhibition are four jewelry pieces featuring rare colored diamonds, and a very mysterious exhibit will appear at the end of the exhibition.

Michaela Baines and three other top models or celebrities are showing four pieces of colored diamond jewelry, and it is still unknown who will wear the mysterious jewelry.

What Michaela Baines needed to show was a Rainbow necklace from 77 Diamonds, Europe's largest diamond retailer, set with more than 100 colored diamonds weighing a total of about 36 carats.

Coloured diamonds range in blue-grey, yellow-green, orange-pink, purple-pink, brownish-orange, and more, each diamond is square-cut and set in a vine-like structure, with small colorless diamonds interspersed between the coloured diamonds.

The beautiful diamond on the large white skin exposed by Michaela Baines attracted the attention of all the men present as soon as it appeared, and even as a woman, she couldn't help but feel envious and jealous of Michaela Baines.

Ling Xiao stood in the crowd and watched Michaela Baines show off her beautiful figure on the runway. Lingxiao's, a youth maintenance is very effective, at least, Michaela can see all the men present looking at her on the runway, and they can't wait to strip themselves naked at once.

Of course, not everyone's eyes were on Michaela herself, standing not far from Ling Xiao, there was a young female reporter with a camera, and after taking a few photos, she put the camera down, which was very different from the other reporters around her who kept taking pictures with cameras.

Ling Xiao was a little interested in this woman for a while, but just when his eyes just fell on the female reporter, the other party had already noticed his gaze, and after smiling at Ling Xiao's scrutiny, he picked up the camera and took pictures again.

Ling Xiao didn't pay too much attention to it, his eyes were on the second piece of jewelry on display, although the rainbow necklace that Michaela Baines was wearing just now was good, but Ling Xiao was not very interested in it.

That necklace was obviously won by quantity, and it was not very attractive to the gods and demons list, but the second diamond aroused some interest from Ling Xiao.

This is a purple diamond ring named Orion provided by New York jeweler Ryan Diamond, and the center stone of this ring is a 1.64 carat cushion-cut purple diamond, which is extremely high color grade and has a clarity of SI2. The purple diamond is surrounded by cushion-cut colorless diamonds, forming cascading petals that bring out the rare natural color of the center stone.

Although this purple diamond is not as diverse as the previous colored diamond, the simple transparent purple diamond is extremely eye-catching, even Ling Xiao himself can't help but feel a little excited, such a color, such a clarity, Ling Xiao can almost see it and be sure that the gods and demons will definitely like this diamond.

Soon, the third diamond also came on the stage, and just as the model was about to step forward, suddenly, Ling Xiao frowned and immediately turned his head sideways.

The female reporter that Ling Xiao saw before didn't know when she had come to his side, staring at the model on the runway, but said to Ling Xiao in a low voice: "This is a purple diamond ring named Argyll, and it and the next pink diamond necklace named Julia are all made by Scott, a diamond merchant from New York?" What West offers. Both diamonds have a very high color and clarity, and they weigh more than every gemstone before them. ”

Ling Xiao doesn't know this Scott? What is the origin of West, but he can clearly see the two diamonds, and with the introduction of the staff on the side, Ling Xiao also has a clear understanding of these two diamonds.

Argyle is a 2.83 carat oval-cut purple diamond with a higher color and clarity than the previous one, and according to the staff, it is the largest purple diamond ever produced by the Argyle diamond mine.

Juilliard, on the other hand, is an oval-cut pink diamond weighing 30.03 carats, and the rough stone even weighs 90 carats, and this diamond is the same color grade and clarity as the previous purple diamond. The female model wearing this pink diamond necklace was almost the most dazzling presence of the evening.

Michaela Baines actually wants to wear this diamond necklace the most, but this diamond comes from a private dealer in New York, although the endorsement fee can be also expensive, but compared to 77 Diamonds, Europe's largest diamond retailer, the influence in this industry is much worse.

"Hello, my name is Holly Robinson and I'm a magazine reporter." After watching the four diamonds on display, the female reporter standing beside Ling Xiao began to introduce herself.
