Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 540 - 220: Breaking News
"You’re also going to put this up for auction?" Zhou Dagen looked at Su Ziceng as she displayed the necklace, his voice tinged with reluctance.
"Speaking of which, I do have some regrets," murmured Su Ziceng.
"If you regret it, then don’t put it up. Keep something for yourself, you’re a girl after all, you should have some jewelry," Zhou Dagen said sympathetically. No woman dislikes being attractive; giving away all her nice clothes and shoes, Su Ziceng must be feeling some regrets and sorrow.
"What I regret is returning that diamond ring," Su Ziceng said in an offhand tone, but whenever she talked about Red Love, she would still think of Pello, and a pang of ache would seize her heart. This feeling, worse than repaying debts or being criticized, was a living ambush in her soul, flaring up in the quiet of the night.
When the "Yellow Love" necklace hit the market, it was bought in just one day, even Pello and Manager Shang, who rushed over upon hearing the news, were too late to act.
"It’s a joke, we didn’t even know about the items being resold in our own jewelry store?" Manager Shang scolded the employees of Mussen Jewelry.
Mussen Jewelry, which was formerly known as Qiu Sheng Jewelry, and the employee being scolded by Manager Shang was an old staff member from Qiu Sheng.
The old employee just quietly took the scolding without talking back.
Manager Shang and Pello had just returned from Bianjing City, having just signed a project for the resale of the Golden Coast building. Right after they got off the plane, they heard that the "Yellow Love" had been bought by someone else.
"Who bought it?" Pello did not pursue the matter further, it was somewhat untimely. He didn’t expect that Su Ziceng would actually auction off the necklace, that damn woman, returned the "Red Love" and now even sold off "Yellow Love", really wanting to sever all ties between them completely.
"This..." The old employee was at a loss for words when the chief Appraiser walked out. Still wearing a kind face reminiscent of Santa Claus, the former Qiu Sheng Jewelry appraiser politely answered: "Earl, Manager Shang, you might be new to the jewelry business. There’s a rule in the industry that we do not easily inquire about the buyers’ information whenever a big buyer makes a purchase."
This statement made Pello and Manager Shang feel slighted, but considering that they were new to the jewelry business, they decided not to offend the old appraiser outright and just nodded in agreement.
After the chief appraiser finished speaking, he went back into the appraisal room, and as soon as the door closed, he made a phone call to Old Lady Qiu to explain the situation.
"Oh, our little Ah Zhi bought ’Yellow Love’?" Old Lady Qiu was sitting on the same balcony where she had tea with Su Ziceng in the past, holding a cup of tea, with a pot of tea on the table,
sitting across from Old Lady Qiu was the recently freed Mrs. Qiu, Ah Zhi’s mother. Ah Zhi resembled his mother more, Mrs. Qiu also had a round face, a short and round figure, and her eyes carried a hint of affection.
"Mom," Mrs. Qiu saw the smile on Old Lady Qiu’s face after she hung up the phone, "Ah Zhi is now starting to show promise."
"Indeed," Old Lady Qiu said proudly, but then she changed her tone, "But, she’s still not comparable to this girl, a young woman needs so much courage."
Old Lady Qiu also had a newspaper in front of her, the headline read: "Former spoiled Su Family daughter, Su Ziceng, repays father’s debts."
"She actually went to such lengths," Chang Chi picked up a newspaper leftover from yesterday as he walked past a newsstand. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
The photo of Su Ziceng apologizing publicly was there. The old Su Ziceng was untouchable, getting her to apologize was impossible. But now, she was apologizing for the mistakes of others.
Chang Chi put down the newspaper and continued walking down the streets of the Sixth District.
The last time she left ’Admiration’, she went to a rehabilitation center by herself. The "soft drugs" Manager Shang had her taking were hard to quit. In the initial days, she had pulled out a lot of her hair, so now Chang Chi had cut short the long hair she had grown for Hang Yishao.
If Su Ziceng saw her now, she might find traces of the old calm Chang Chi in her.
After more than a month of forced detoxification, Chang Chi’s physical and mental state had improved.
Chang Chi was walking on the street, listening to the sounds of children playing. A little girl running by her side bumped into her. After seeing Chang Chi’s cold gaze, the little girl burst into tears, and from a small alley, a woman and an older girl hurried out.
