Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 544 - 220: Breaking News (Second Update)
"You’re really bringing this out?" Zhou Dagen looked at the necklace Su Ziceng presented with some reluctance.
"Speaking of which, I do have some regrets," Su Ziceng murmured.
"If you regret it then don’t bring it out. At least keep something, you’re a girl after all, you should keep some jewelry," Zhou Dagen also pitied Su Ziceng, every woman likes to look pretty, and to have given away all her nice clothes and shoes all at once, Su Ziceng must have some regrets and sadness in her heart.
"What I regret is giving that diamond ring back," Su Ziceng said with a nonchalant tone, but every time she mentioned Red Love, she couldn’t help thinking of Pello, a painful twitch in her heart. This feeling was more unbearable than paying debts or being criticized by others; it lay ambush in her psyche, erupting every night in the quiet.
When the "Yellow Love" necklace hit the market, it only took a day before someone bought it, even Pello and Shang Yin, who rushed over upon hearing the news, were too late to make a move.
"What a joke, merchandise recirculated through our jewelry store, and even the Earl and I are oblivious?" Shang Yin chastised the staff at Mussen Jewelry Store.
Mussen Jewelry Store, formerly known as Qiu Sheng Jewelry, was now under scrutiny by Shang Yin, who was scolding a veteran employee of Qiu Sheng Jewelry.
The veteran employee took the scolding without talking back.
Shang Yin and Pello had just returned from Bianjing City, they had just signed the reselling project of the "Golden Coast" building with several banks. They had barely gotten off the plane when they heard that the "Yellow Love" had been snapped up first by someone else.
"Who bought it?" Pello did not pursue the matter any further; the timing was simply unfortunate. He had never expected Su Ziceng to auction off the necklace. This damned woman, having returned Red Love and now having passed on Yellow Love, truly intended to sever their relationship completely.
"This..." The old employee was at a loss for words, when the chief appraiser came out. Still with the jovial face of Santa Claus, the former appraiser of Qiu Sheng Jewelry came forward and replied politely, "Earl, Manager Shang, I’m afraid you are quite new to the jewelry business. There’s a rule in the trade that we do not casually inquire about the buyer’s information when a major buyer makes a purchase."
This response made both Pello and Shang Yin feel offended, but considering that the two were new to the jewelry industry, they did not wish to directly confront this veteran appraiser and could only nod in agreement.
After the chief appraiser spoke, he returned to the appraisal room. As soon as the door closed, he made a call to Old Lady Qiu and recounted the events.
"Oh, our little Zhi bought ’Yellow Love’?" Old Lady Qiu was sitting on the very balcony where she used to have tea with Su Ziceng, with a cup of tea in her hand and a teapot on the table,
Sitting opposite Old Lady Qiu was Qiu Zhi’s mother, Mrs. Qiu who recently had some free time. Qiu Zhi resembled his mother more—Mrs. Qiu also had a round face, a stout figure, and eyes that bore a kind expression.
"Mom," Mrs. Qiu saw Old Lady Qiu hanging up the phone, her face beaming with a smile, "Ah Zhi is finally making something of himself."
"Indeed," Old Lady Qiu proudly agreed, then added, "But still, he can’t compare to this girl, a young lady who must have required immense courage." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
There was a newspaper in front of Old Lady Qiu’s knees, the headline read: "Su Ziceng, the once-profligate daughter of the Su Family, pays debts in her father’s stead."
"She has actually gone this far," Chang Chi picked up a leftover newspaper from yesterday as she passed by a newsstand.
The photo of Su Ziceng publicly apologizing, the once-arrogant Su Ziceng would never have admitted wrong or apologized, and yet now, she was apologizing for the wrongs committed by others.
Chang Chi put down the newspaper and continued down the streets of the Sixth District.
After leaving "Admiration" the last time, she went to the rehab center on her own. The "soft drugs" that Shang Yin had given her were difficult to quit. In the first few days, she pulled out a lot of her hair, so now, Chang Chi had cut short the long hair she once grew out for Hang Yishao.
If Su Ziceng saw her now, she would be able to see a hint of the once calm Chang Chi.
After more than a month of forced rehab, Chang Chi’s physical and mental state had both recovered.
As Chang Chi walked the streets, amidst the noisy children, a little girl running by her side accidentally collided with her. Seeing Chang Chi’s cold gaze, the little girl burst into tears, and out of a small alley, a woman and an older-looking girl hurried over.
