Chapter 2 Black Diamonds
The little girl in front of her was wearing no makeup, wearing a very ordinary dress, and only a pair of fine pearl stud earrings on her body.
Obviously, it won't be an invited guest at the dinner.
On this occasion, people who get in through various means, either want to find someone, or don't want to find a relationship, and all kinds of purposes, Yan Wangshu has seen a lot.
It's the first time I've seen her like this, showing her 'I want to please you' so frank and natural, not annoying.
He thought, maybe it was this pure little white flower that attracted people's desire to protect?
Yan Wangshu stared at her: "How old are you this year?" ”
“???” The sudden question made Wen Ran stunned for a moment, and she looked away from the black diamond on his chest, "20 years old." ”
20 years old?
It's too small.
It's still school age.
Yan Wangshu frowned slightly: "Going to college in country M?" ”
"Nope." Wen Ran shook his head, not shying away, "I didn't go to school." ”
She is really frank, she doesn't even pretend to have academic qualifications, Yan Wangshu thinks so.
Suddenly, a white light flashed, illuminating Wen Ran's little face.
She seemed to be taken aback, and looked sideways out of the pavilion, her mouth slightly open, and her eyes blinked several times in a panic.
Then, there was a thunderclap of "boom", and it began to rain.
It's been like this for the past few days.
Wen Ran stood up suddenly, her slender fingers still covering her panicked chest, but she said in a stern tone, "Wait a minute." ”
With that, she rushed into the drizzle.
Wen Ran ran to the side hall and took an umbrella.
By the time she returned to the pavilion, the rain had become much heavier than before.
Wen Ran leaned the handle of the umbrella on his thin shoulder, and when he beckoned, there were water droplets on his arms: "I'll send you back to the banquet living room." ”
Yan Wangshu did not refuse.
When he walked towards Wen Ran, Wen Ran noticed that this man's superior height made it a little difficult for her to play an umbrella, after all, she had been practicing carving recently, and her wrist was a little painful.
She grabbed the handle of the umbrella and held it higher, but the handle was suddenly snatched away by the man.
Wen Ran looked up sideways and saw the man's clear jawline and bulging Adam's apple.
"There is no reason for a girl to hold an umbrella." He tilted the umbrella toward her, looked straight ahead, and said this.
The stone steps wind through the flower beds, not too wide, and the umbrellas are not large.
The man's legs and feet swept over the flower branches and dirty the trouser legs, and half of his shoulders were also in the rain.
Wen Ran took the opportunity to look at the brooch on his chest with his height.
The brooch is set with fine diamonds to create a small bird that spreads its wings and takes off, with a black "stone" at its feet.
Wen Ran determined that this "stone" was a black diamond.
And it's a natural black diamond.
About 65 to 68 carats, opaque, without cleavage.
Black diamonds are rare, and many people think that black is unlucky, and it is rarely used as jewelry, so the quality of black diamond jewelry on his chest can be called rare.
Wen Ran pursed her lips, such a design, such a cutting process, I really want to touch it.
Her hand reacted faster than her brain, and she had already subconsciously raised her forearm, but when the man looked down from the side, she was instantly awake.
Wen Ran realized that he was rude, and he should have obtained the master's consent first.
She clenched her claws embarrassedly, then withdrew her arms, not daring to take the plunge.
The small eaves lamp is made of wrought iron, and the wick is modeled after a candle spark, and the light will flicker.
The moon had disappeared in the distance, and the rain in front of me was a thin line.
Yan Wangshu put away the umbrella, leaned against the wall, raised his hand and patted the rain on his right shoulder.
Wen Ran watched him move, with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I should have taken two umbrellas." ”
"Two umbrellas?"
Wen Ran was very honest: "Yes." ”
This kind of innocuous caution is done just as it is done, but there is no need to be honest later.
Perhaps, this is her method?
Yan Wangshu looked at her little face, not annoyed, and said jokingly: "Then remember next time, an umbrella can't be covered by two people." ”
Wen Ran nodded, then took a step forward and said softly: "I just want you to feel that I helped you." ”
"Really?" Yan Wangshu pulled the corners of his mouth, "I felt it, and then what?" ”
Wen Ran was a little close to him, and was a little oppressed by his condescending gaze.
His hair is a natural flaxen color, his forehead is full, his eyebrow bones are protruding, his eye sockets are dark, and his pupils are a very special light brown color.
Wen Ran thought in his heart, he should be a businessman, although the tone of his words was not heavy, but there was a kind of strategic and natural dominant temperament.
And his eyes now reminded Wen Ran of the male protagonist in a love movie he watched last night.
The male protagonist in the movie is a pure Westerner, and his eyes are also light brown, and he is very affectionate to the girl he loves, but it does not prevent him from being affectionate to the next girl.
Elegant and romantic, affectionate and affectionate, probably this kind of look.
According to Zhai Xinyi's words, this is a scumbag, or the top-level kind.
Wen Ran suddenly remembered Zhai Xinyi's warning, stay away from this kind of man, otherwise he won't know how he died.
Wen Ran didn't hesitate anymore, and said, "Sir, since you think I helped you, then I will make a reluctant request......
Before Wen Ran could finish speaking, the glass door was pushed open not far away, and the warm yellow light cut a parallelogram on the floor.
Zhai Xinyi poked out his head and beckoned to Wen Ran: "Ran Ran, hurry up!" ”
Wen Ran weighed the priorities in his heart, walked over there, looked back at the man's chest, and was reluctant: "You wait for me." ”
It wasn't until the glass door closed that Yan Wangshu withdrew his gaze.
The mobile phone in his bag vibrate, and it was Qin Xiao calling.
Qin Xiao is Yan Wangshu's assistant, and it must be extremely important to call at this time.
hung up the phone, and within a few minutes, Qin Xiao came with an umbrella.
The black car stopped at the gate, Yan Wangshu reached out and pressed the hem of his clothes, raised his legs and sat in the car.
Qin Xiao was already soaked with half of his body, and he was just about to put away the umbrella and go to the passenger seat, when suddenly the window of the car fell.
Qin Xiao hurriedly raised the umbrella above the car window to avoid the rain from drenching it.
Yan Wangshu held the black diamond brooch in his palm and came out of the car window, and his voice was mixed in the rain: "Tell Mr. Bai that I have no intention of breaking his two jasmine plants, this is to make amends." ”
Qin Xiao paused for two seconds, then reached out to take the brooch.
The car window rose at a constant speed, and Yan Wangshu: "You can go in person." ”
******
Zhai Xinyi told Wen Ran that Zhai Chengjing was waiting for her in the studio.
In the studio, Zhai Chengjing was wearing a neat suit and leaning slightly on the back of the chair, holding Wen Ran's design artwork in his hand, on which was a men's ring design draft.
The ring is mainly designed in a triangular style, with an irregular white and blue jadeite, and the artistic conception of the floating color is like a landscape painting.
Wen Ran trotted over: "Senior brother, what do you think?" ”
"It's good-looking, I like it very much." Zhai Chengjing nodded and pointed to the band part, "But the band should not be smooth, it should be frosted." ”
Wen Ran nodded: "Okay, then it's decided?" ”
"Well, thank you in advance for the birthday gift that my sister prepared for me."
"If you like it." Wen Ran picked up the shank size stick, "Senior brother, I'll help you measure the size." ”
By the time Wen Ran measured Zhai Chengjing's size and then went downstairs, more than half of the people in the living room had already decreased.
She walked outside.
At the foot of the wall is a lone umbrella, and the rain flows down the tip of the umbrella to the flower bed. The rain was heavier than just now, and the little jasmine in the yard was smashed and crumbling.
The man was gone.
Wen Ran went back to the living room and walked around a few times, his face could not hide his disappointment.
After the dinner, Zhai Xinyi found Wen Ran in the studio.
She pulled a chair and sat down, looked at Wen Ran in a daze, and asked, "What?" Broken again? ”
Wen Ran shook his head.
Zhai Xinyi: "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I saw a guest today wearing a black diamond brooch with a very special cut, very beautiful."
“......”
"It's a pity I haven't looked at it carefully."
Zhai Xinyi's eyes rolled: "Is there a little bird?" ”
"You saw that too?" Wen Ran turned around and held Zhai Xinyi's arm, and said excitedly, "Isn't it beautiful?" ”
"I saw it, I saw it, when I went to Grandpa Bai's studio just now, I saw that it was in my brother's hands, and Grandpa Bai also explained that he wanted to return it or something."
Wen Ran was stunned for two seconds and stood up: "I'll go find Senior Brother." ”
Wen Ran ran to Bai Weiliang's studio, and coincidentally, he met Zhai Chengjing in the corridor.
She got her wish and saw the black diamond.
After a while, she put down the brooch and took off her gloves: "Senior brother, I've finished reading it, this brooch is very beautiful, the design is special, simple but not simple, and the inlay technique is also very good." ”
Zhai Chengjing: "After reading it, I will go back to rest, and I have to return it in person." ”
Wen Ran sent Zhai Chengjing downstairs.
She looked at the box in Zhai Chengjing's hand: "Who took this brooch?" ”
"The man of 'Carllyle' sent it, saying that it was a reparation for the sins of the flowers." Zhai Chengjing paused, "Who will use this to make amends?" ”
"'Carlisle,' sounds familiar."
Zhai Chengjing laughed unabashedly: "It's strange that you can be familiar!" ”
He, the younger sister, is interested in everything except jewelry design, how can he be familiar with the name of a domestic jewelry company?
"Well, it's not familiar." Wen Ran asked, "Is 'Carlisle' a personal name?" ”
"Carlisle is the largest jewelry custom enterprise in China, has been established for more than 60 years, the founder is a multinational couple, 'Carlisle' is the name of the lady, is a British, the current manager of 'Carlisle' is the grandchild of the couple, today invited to the banquet is 'Carlisle' CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) Yan Wangshu, I think this brooch, is the sincerity of his cooperation."
Yan Wangshu?
It turned out that his name was Yan Wangshu.
Wen Ran remembered that the tutor who taught Chinese culture had said in class that 'Wangshu' was the god who drove for the moon in ancient mythology, and was used to refer to the moon in poetry.
"Wangshu, Moon." Wen Ran blinked, "The teacher who teaches Chinese studies said it. ”
Zhai Chengjing smiled and patted Wen Ran's head.
A little girl of her age, listening to what she just said, will definitely sigh with emotion about naming the company after her wife, what a romantic love story.
And she, however, is reminiscing about her homework.
Wen Ran raised his hand and hooked his hair: "So the teacher asked him to return it, isn't he going to cooperate with 'Carlisle'?" ”
"Not intended." Zhai Chengjing opened the box, looked at it twice and buttoned it up, "The teacher wants to use his own brand to enter the domestic market." ”
Wen Ran roughly understood, so he didn't ask any more.
Zhai Chengjing stopped: "You go back and rest, I'll call someone to pick up Xinyi tomorrow afternoon." ”
"Xinyi can play here for two more days."
Zhai Chengjing reminded: "She has a class the day after tomorrow." ”
Wen Ran smiled apologetically: "I almost forgot." ”
Sending Zhai Chengjing away, Wen Ran returned to the studio to pack up his things briefly, and when he returned to the room, Zhai Xinyi was lying on the bed with his laptop in his arms.
She raised her eyes: "Ranran, I'll find a movie to watch." ”
Wen Ran remembered that the movie he watched last night was not bad, so he recommended it to Zhai Xinyi.
By the time Wen Ran finished washing up and went to bed, Zhai Xinyi had already cried several balls of tissues.
She leaned on Wen Ran's shoulder and was moved by the actor in the movie: "He is so handsome, so charming, and loves Jennifer so much." ”
Wen Ran couldn't help it, spoiler: "He will have a few hobbies in the future." ”
Zhai Xinyi immediately lost her tears, and scolded with a red nose: "Scumbag! Top scumbag! ”
Wen Ran was amused by the speed at which she changed her face.
Perhaps because of her words, Wen Ran's face suddenly appeared in Wen Ran's mind.
The tip of his nose also seemed to faintly linger with the hot smell of cedar on his body.
But his eyes have no temperature.
Zhai Xinyi suddenly hugged Wen Ran and interrupted her thoughts.
Wen Ran: "What's wrong?" ”
"Ranran, I'm out of love, my boyfriend was robbed by green tea, woo woo-"
Zhai Xinyi often falls out of love.
As far as Wen Ran knows, in the three years she went to college alone, she has fallen out of love four times. Wen Ran still comforted her: "It's okay, the next one is better and more handsome!" ”
Zhai Xinyi took a tissue to wipe her tears.
Wen Ran suddenly remembered: "Green tea, is it that Wu Yunshan today?" ”
Zhai Xinyi cried for a while, and nodded hurriedly: "It's her!" ”
I see.
No wonder he dragged her to the banquet.
Zhai Xinyi scolded for a while, and finally fell asleep without watching the movie.
The next day, seeing off Zhai Xinyi, Wen Ran walked to the garden unconsciously.
On the table in the pavilion, there are still two jasmine plants, and the branches are slightly cracked.
Next to the jasmine, there is a palm-sized matchbox.
The matchbox is very delicate, with gold patterns stamped on the corners, but the beautiful patterns are truncated by black ashes.
It was the man who burned the cigarette butt when he pressed it against it.
Wen Ran grabbed the matchbox and looked at it twice, pushed out the match, and smelled a faint smell of cedar.
It turned out that the smell of cedar last night came from matches.
Wen Ran took a match and came out, sliding the fire port to try to light it, but tried several times in a row and failed.
I think it was the rain last night, and it was already damp.
Wen Ran took out his phone and searched for this match.
It turns out that this is called a fragrance match, and its function is fragrance, not ... Take a fire.
And it's so expensive, when folded, it costs about 100 yuan.
Wen Ran put down his phone and threw the matchbox into the trash can next to him, but unexpectedly saw a pencil on the edge of the pavilion.
She pulled the corners of her mouth open and walked over to pick it up.
"So here."
