Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 733 - 713: Is it wrong to be willful with money?
The exquisite jade felt warm and soft under her fingertips, as smooth as silk and milk, providing an extremely delightful touch.
"This jade necklace must be very expensive," she couldn’t help herself.
His deep eyes alternated between light and shadow, glancing over.
Much more than expensive.
The value of this imperial purple jade and the craftsmanship it took to process it can no longer be merely described as expensive.
But what does it matter?
His woman, not to mention a strand of imperial purple jade, could wear the entire world.
This imperial purple jade had already been prepared some time ago.
After processing the rough stone into a necklace, he was looking for an opportunity to give it to her.
Tonight was perfect.
"Do you like it?" he didn’t answer directly but merely asked back indifferently.
Jiayi took a soft breath.
A jewel of inestimable value and unique charm, what woman would hate it?
She nodded honestly, "Yeah. But this thing is too valuable and too ostentatious. I can’t wear it out on a normal day, so giving it to me is a waste."
Even if he gave it to her, she probably would only keep it as a family heirloom, something she couldn’t use in daily life.
Before she finished speaking, he was already frowning slightly, his tone indifferent and flat, "As long as you like it."
Nothing else mattered.
She swallowed her words and couldn’t help but be curious, asking, "Where did you find such rare jade?"
He didn’t hide it from her, his gaze still casting forward, his voice low and husky, filled with charisma, as if talking about something as normal as eating:
"On the tens of thousands of acres of mines in your hometown, finding a piece of imperial jade rough stone is difficult but not impossible."
She was stunned for a moment, then something clicked, and she realized.
For the past two months, China’s peacekeeping troops had already entered S Country.
That meant, the agreement between him and Tianpei had officially taken effect.
The mining rights in S Country had already been acquired by him.
The rough stone for this string of necklaces was exactly from the mines of S Country, the sacred mining land of Southeast Asia.
And only after intricate modern processing and professional polishing, did it become the imperial purple jade she was holding now.

Nearing ten o’clock at night, the spokesperson’s press conference had ended smoothly for the evening.
With the media and the company’s subsidiaries seeing them off, Huo Zhenyang and Jiayi were the first to leave the event.
The media then gradually dispersed in twos and threes.
Su Yan comforted Xiaolei, who was feeling down, assuring her that there would be more opportunities in the future. Only then did Xiaolei manage to collect her emotions and have the driver take her back to the apartment.
Su Yan was currently the primary person in charge of Zuanshi Jewelry. After handling everything at the scene, she was the last to leave the hotel, surrounded by assistants.
By then, it was past midnight.
After a day of hustle and bustle, the city, like a child who had finally played till exhaustion, had quieted down a lot, and the neon lights dimmed.
The assistant went downstairs to fetch the car.
Su Yan stood at the entrance, loosening her tired limbs, lazily waiting for the assistant to bring the car over to take her back to the hotel where she was staying.
Just at that moment. Her cellphone vibrated.
A text message had arrived.
She took out her cell phone, looked at a text message, and her face changed slightly.
Just then, the assistant had already brought the car around slowly, "Madam."
She regained her composure and put the cell phone into her handbag, "You go back first. I’ll drive back to the hotel myself."
The assistant did not dare to disobey her and left the car, departing alone.
Su Yan got into the car, turned the key, started the engine, and began to drive along the road.
Well past midnight, there were no pedestrians to be seen, nor many cars; the road was clear, and her speed increased steadily.
Not until a crossroad did she take a turn and head towards the harbor area near the outskirts of Yunling.
Upon reaching the port, Su Yan parked the car, got out, and scanned the mouth of the harbor with her eyes.
At the port side, there were a few fishing boats and yachts scattered about, all appearing quite ordinary.
Under a deep blue sky, the ocean that seemed boundless during the day now appeared even more eerie and mysterious.
A middle-aged man jumped down from a small speedboat and walked over to Su Yan, lowering his voice, "Mrs. Huo, I presume."
"Yes."
"Please follow me." The middle-aged man extended his hand in a gesture to lead the way.
Su Yan, expressionless, followed the man onto the small speedboat.
The speedboat started up and sped towards the high seas, away from the coastline.
They drove for quite a while, until all that could be heard besides the churning propeller was silence.
Su Yan knew they had left Yunling’s territorial waters and entered international waters.
The speedboat came to a stop next to a white private yacht.
With the man’s help, Su Yan stepped onto the telescoping ladder and boarded the yacht, making her way to the deck on the top floor.
In the silver moonlight over the sea, a tall figure lay prone on the deck, bare-chested, with the lower half wrapped in a white towel.
A voluptuous woman in a bikini was massaging his back.
The woman had a seductive figure and was skilled with her hands, bending down occasionally to flatter with a smile, clearly adept at making people happy.
She was evidently a high-priced companion from the world of pleasure.
In front of the man was a tablet computer.
The screen showed the entire broadcast of a news conference for an endorser of Zuanshi Jewelry that had just taken place.
Upon seeing Su Yan, the man swiped his finger, turning off the screen, and flipped over.
Su Yan tossed her handbag aside, as relaxed as if she were on her own yacht, leaned on the railing, pushed back her hair, and breathed in the sea breeze,
"Spending the night on a multimillion-dollar yacht, accompanied by the most expensive PR lady, basking in the moonlight on the high seas off Yunling really is the height of luxury."
"Rich and willful, is that a problem?" The man’s tone was extremely frivolous.
Su Yan’s pupils dilated slightly, and she chuckled lightly, "That’s true. After suffering for so many years and finally turning things around, I would indulge too if I were you. What’s up, why did you call me here?"
"Get down, wait for me in the bed," said the man sprawled on the deck to the PR lady serving him, his tone flippant.
The bikini-clad woman immediately stood up with the massage oil, sashayed away with a provocative sway of her hips.
"How are things progressing on your end?" His tone deepened by a few shades.
Su Yan laughed, "How long have I been in Yunling? To be able to enter Huo Group and get involved with the Huo Family’s business is already not easy. Just that point alone, you don’t know how much sweet talk and energy I had to use at Tianpei’s side just to make him agree to let me return to the Huo Family. Even so, I am just Huo Zhenyang’s assistant; real power is still out of grasp. In such a short time, what progress do you expect? You’re being too impatient."
"Ha, impatient? Do you think I can afford not to be? I wish I could make him—"
Wish I could make him tumble from the Huo Family tomorrow, lose his inheritance, and fall from the CEO position!
The man’s face darkened, he clenched his fist, and his knuckles cracked threateningly. The hatred in his tone echoed eerily across the silent sea.
There was a slight pause in his words, and then he sneered inexplicably, "Su Yan, it’s not because you still have feelings for him, afraid that I’ll crush him, feeling pity for him, that you’re not giving it your all, is it?"
