Hearing this, Fu Shan couldn't help but frown slightly. He instinctively turned his head to look back and saw a brightly dressed, vulgar-looking young woman leaning against a bald, pot-bellied, short, and fat middle-aged man, looking at him with mockery.
The words had come from her.
"Ma Yuanyuan, it's you."
He'd wondered who it was.
It was this woman.
This Ma Yuanyuan was a factory girl from a factory where Fu Shan had worked before. She relied on her youth and a bit of looks to look down on workers like them, wanting only to find a rich man and live a good life.
So, had she succeeded in hooking up with a rich man now?
Fu Shan subconsciously glanced at the bald, pot-bellied, short, and fat middle-aged man Ma Yuanyuan was leaning on, thinking: Just this?
He was ugly, to begin with.
Judging by this uncle's age, he could easily be Ma Yuanyuan's father.
For Ma Yuanyuan to be with him… she really has a strong preference!
Perhaps Fu Shan's gaze was too direct; Ma Yuanyuan's expression visibly stiffened. But in an instant, she resumed her air of smugness.
Her Old Wang was indeed a bit old, a bit ugly, and, moreover, he had a wife and children. But that didn't matter; Old Wang had money.
Following Old Wang, she, Ma Yuanyuan, could eat well, dress well, and live a good life. Wasn't that better than anything else?
Thinking of this, Ma Yuanyuan glanced at Fu Shan again, her eyes full of disdain:
This Fu Shan, he was handsome and upright, a proper pretty boy.
Well, Ma Yuanyuan admitted that back when she first entered the factory, she had been quite fond of Fu Shan's good looks.
But what use was it to be handsome? Could it be eaten, or could it be worn as clothes?
The most important thing for a man was to see if he had the power of money.
Without the power of money, no matter how handsome he was, it was all for naught.
"You're all useless!"
"This Fu Shan is just useless."
Thinking of this, Ma Yuanyuan's expression became even more smug. She glanced at the simply-dressed Xu Yifei and the three little cuties, then covered her mouth with a exaggerated laugh. "Oh, Fu Shan, are these your wife and children? Are you planning to buy your wife jewelry?"
Although she said this, Ma Yuanyuan's eyes were full of disdain and mockery.
That look clearly said:
Don't be ridiculous! You? You can afford these jewelry?
Looking at Fu Shan's shabby appearance, he was definitely just here to window shop.
Buy jewelry? Even if he sold himself, he might not be able to afford even one or two pieces of jewelry from this counter, okay?
"Well, we'll take a look."
Ignoring Ma Yuanyuan's mockery and disdain, Fu Shan just nodded slightly and replied casually. He wasn't going to get worked up over it.
He had nothing to say to a woman so vulgar and snobbish.
Let her think whatever she wanted.
As they say, a word to the wise is sufficient.
However, Fu Shan's unwillingness to waste words was interpreted by Ma Yuanyuan as him being guilty, and that he had tacitly admitted to being poor and having an empty pocket.
Seeing this, Ma Yuanyuan became even more smug, and the mockery and disdain in her eyes deepened: "Oh? So you're just here to look? Unlike you, I'm here to buy jewelry."
With that, Ma Yuanyuan turned to the short, stout middle-aged man beside her and giggled: "Right, Old Wang?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man let out a hearty laugh, waving his hand with a smug expression.
"Haha, buy, buy, buy. Darling, whatever you want, I'll buy it for you!"
With that, the two of them walked hand-in-hand to the jewelry counter and began to browse the jewelry. Ma Yuanyuan was quickly drawn to a set of jewelry that was displayed in the most prominent position in the display case:
"Oh, Old Wang, look, that set of jewelry is so beautiful."
It was a set of Pink Diamond jewelry.
It consisted of a bracelet, a ring, earrings, and a necklace.
All were inlaid with large Pink Diamonds and accented with numerous small diamonds. The large Pink Diamond on the necklace pendant was especially dazzling and eye-catching.
As soon as she saw this set of jewelry, Ma Yuanyuan's eyes immediately lit up, filled with longing.
"Miss, you have excellent taste. This is a limited edition Pink Diamond set from our brand's latest collection, called Pink Romance. It's the only one of its kind in the entire city."
Seeing Ma Yuanyuan's unwavering gaze fixed on the Pink Diamond jewelry set, the saleswoman immediately flashed a professional smile and said.
Hearing this, Ma Yuanyuan's eyes lit up even more:
"Really? The only one in the city?"
With that, she turned her gaze to the short, plump middle-aged man beside her and said in a coquettish voice:
"Old Wang, I want this set of jewelry, look…"
However, this time, the short, plump middle-aged man didn't fall for Ma Yuanyuan's act of coquetry. He immediately coughed lightly and said:
"Ahem, let's choose another set."
Then, he glanced at the price tag of the Pink Diamond jewelry set, frowning.
He cursed inwardly:
Is Ma Yuanyuan crazy?
She dared to ask him for jewelry that cost over eighty million. Did she really think his money grew on trees?
If he were really that rich, would he be messing around with someone like Ma Yuanyuan?
Wouldn't it be better to find a small-time celebrity or internet star?
Ma Yuanyuan followed Old Wang's gaze and saw the price of the Pink Diamond jewelry set she admired:
Eighty-eight million, eight hundred and eighty-eight thousand.
This set of jewelry was actually so expensive?!
A glint flashed in Ma Yuanyuan's eyes as she covered her mouth with a giggle and said, "Haha, Old Wang, I'll do as you say, let's pick a different set. I took a look at this one, and it's not that great."
As she spoke, Ma Yuanyuan glanced at the dazzling Pink Diamond jewelry set again, her eyes filled with greed and reluctance.
Actually, what she wanted most was this set of jewelry.
She fell for it at first glance.
But she hadn't expected this jewelry set to be so expensive.
Thinking of this, Ma Yuanyuan glanced at Old Wang beside her and pouted: This Old Wang is just a nouveau riche. Even with all his assets combined, he wouldn't have this much money. How could he buy her this set of jewelry?
Moreover, this old man was also a cheapskate.
Before coming, she had pestered him for a long time before Old Wang agreed to come and buy her jewelry. And before they came, they had already agreed that the total amount for this purchase of jewelry should not exceed 200,000.
Thinking this in her heart, Ma Yuanyuan pouted again and began to re-select jewelry for herself.
Soon, Ma Yuanyuan selected a set of jewelry worth 200,000, and couldn't wait to put it on:
"Old Wang, I want this set!"
While smiling coquettishly at the short, fat middle-aged man beside her, Ma Yuanyuan's eyes kept glancing at that set of Pink Diamond jewelry, her eyes full of reluctance and longing.
Now this set, worth two hundred thousand, is completely incomparable to this set worth over eighty million.
Sigh, two hundred thousand it is then!
Many people, in their entire lives, never even wear jewelry worth two hundred thousand.
Thinking of this, Ma Yuanyuan's heart was slightly relieved. She then turned her gaze proudly towards Fu Shan and Xu Yifei beside him:
"Fu Shan, how do you like the jewelry my dear bought for me? Isn't it dazzling? Isn't it very expensive-looking?"
