iao family restaurant, there were only three people dining at the table.When Qiao Ruo Xing was little, she wasn't very close to Qiao Xu Sheng. After her mother, He Yu Rou, became a vegetable due to a...A sharp voice, tinged with surprise, so familiar it instantly triggered a physical revulsion in her.

Joe Xing looked up and gave her a faint glance, "Miss Yao, long time no see."

The boss who arrived shortly after was surprised and asked, "You two know each other"

Yaokeshin adjusted her coat and smirked, taking slow steps to sit across from Qiao Ruo xing. “More than just acquaintances, we’re quite familiar.”

The boss didn't hear the hidden meaning at first and laughed, "So you two know each other. Why don't you talk privately"

Yao KeXin glanced at the boss, "I'm just acquainted with her, not close friends."

One sentence immediately clarified the relationship between the two. The boss suddenly became awkward.

Jo Rou Xing didn't show much of an expression as she pushed the box over. "Boss, according to the shop's rules, you need to inspect the goods first,"

Since Yao Kexin had no objections, the boss took the package and began inspecting it right there.

The small tea table in the private room was very narrow, and Qiao Joxing and Yao Keixin were only a meter apart. However, the atmosphere between the two of them was tense, and even the boss several meters away felt a little suffocated.

"Jo Ruoxing, you have quite thick skin, taking things from the Gu family to sell, don't you think it's embarrassing!"

“I'm just dealing with some unwanted things, why feel ashamed According to your logic, shouldn't those who flock to other people's unwanted things be so ashamed they want to commit suicide” Qiao Ruo Xing smiled. "It seems Miss Yao is living quite well, isn't she"

Yao KeXin's face turned dark, but due to the presence of the boss, she was afraid that if she said anything, outsiders might hear it, so she could only swallow her anger.

After about twenty minutes, the boss finished inspecting and confirmed that it was genuine. Then, he asked Qiao Ruoxing about her intended price.

"Five million."

As soon as these words left his mouth, the boss hadn't even assessed the high and low of the price, Yao Kexin jumped up first, "Five million Qiao Ruoxing, are you crazy about money A bag worth 200,000 yuan, you sell it to me for five million, don't you think I'm stupid"

Jo Ruoxing's expression remained calm, "Two hundred thousand yuan you can buy it, why buy second-hand Miss Yao, this bag is only available for members to purchase. You know that, right Only top-tier members with annual consumption of over 20 million are eligible to purchase it. A bag that is ten percent new, I have to charge you some membership fee."

"Membership fee Qiao Ruoxing, did you buy this bag with your own money You squandered Aiyan's money and now that you don't want it anymore, you want to make a profit by imposing a membership fee. No wonder Aiyan said you are stingy and greedy!"

Qiao Ruo Xing suddenly clenched her hand, her eyes turning cold. "Miss Yao, the person you call Ayan is my legal husband. I use his money, which is reasonable, legal, and justified. You don't need to point fingers here. This bag, if you want it, is five million, no negotiation. If you can't afford it, please don't waste each other's time, I'm very busy."

"Who are you saying can't afford it" Yao Kexin was fuming, "I'm just questioning the reasonableness of your price. This bag is only estimated to be worth three million, and you want five million That's simply... disrupting market order!"

Jo Ro Xing smiled. "Ms. Yao seems to have misunderstood. This is a private transaction between individuals, and it has nothing to do with market rules. If the deal goes through, I only need to pay an added value tax. It's legal and above board. Besides, the valuation is for the buyer's reference, and since this belongs to me, I have the freedom to set the price. If you think it's unreasonable, you can just refuse the deal."

"You—" Yao Ke Xin's face turned green with anger. Seeing her calm and composed demeanor, she was even more furious, but after a moment of thought, she suddenly sneered, " Qiao Ruo Xing, are you intentionally raising the price and refusing to sell it to me because you know the buyer is me"

Jo Rouxing didn't speak, her eyes were dull and staring at her.

Yao Ke Xin became even more certain of her guess, she smirked, "What use is it to cling to something that isn't yours"

She thought the words would be enough to provoke Qiao Ruoxing. In their limited interactions, Qiao Ruoxing wasn't someone who could keep her cool. Whenever she showed any sign of closeness with Gu Jingyan, jealousy would flash in Qiao Ruoxing's eyes. She believed this time would be no different from before.

But Qiao Ruoxing just gave her a nonchalant glance, "Miss Yao, if you insist on thinking that way, then so be it. How about it Will you buy it"

Now Yao Kexin couldn't smile anymore. She felt like she was losing out if she bought it, but if she didn't, Qiao Ruoxing's expression was too hateful, as if she was mocking her.

Qiao Ruoxing seemed to have already grasped her thoughts, putting the bag back into the box. Just as the lid was about to be closed, Yao Kexin called out, "I'll buy it!"

Qiao Ruo Xing paused, raising her eyes, "Pay in full."

Yao Kexin gritted her teeth, "Rest assured, you won't lose a penny!"

Five million isn't a small sum. Yao Ke Xin went out to make a phone call, Qiao Ruoxing waited in the private room for over half an hour before she came in.

But when he came in, his face wasn't looking too good.

Under the witness of the boss, the two parties reached a deal. Yao Kexin transferred five million yuan to Qiao Ruo Xing's account on the spot.

When Yao Ke Xin signed her name, she drew her wrist out from her sleeve. Qiao Ruoxing's gaze was caught by a familiar diamond bracelet on her wrist.

The style and workmanship are very similar to the one she had previously given Gu Jingyan.

Yao Kexin finished signing her name before she noticed herself staring at her wrist. She lifted her wrist and smiled, "This bracelet was a gift from Aiyan the year I debuted. Qiao Ruoxing, are all the jewelry he gives you diamonds Do you know why"

Qiao Ruo Xing froze, her fingers slowly curling inwards.

Her expression already made it clear that Yao Ke Xin's guess was completely accurate, but she didn't want to hear the reason behind it. There was even a urge to escape.

Yet Yao Keqin didn't give her that chance, saying with a mocking tone, "Because his understanding of jewelry comes entirely from me, and diamonds are my favorite."

The nails dug into the palm of her hand, every word Yao Ke Xin spoke was a mockery of her ecstatic joy at receiving a gift.

The romance she imagined was nothing more than the projection of other women's fantasies onto him.

"Jojo Xing, Ayan doesn't love you at all. If it wasn't for his grandmother opposing us back then, do you think you would have had a chance to marry him But things are different now. Old Madam Gu is getting older, she can't control him anymore, and the Gu family will eventually belong to Ayan. You say, what will your fate be like then"

Yao Ke Xin curled the corner of her lips, "If I were you, I would take the initiative to leave, at least leaving with some dignity. Being chased away is too embarrassing."

"When you debuted, I was already married to Gu Jingyan, right"

"What" Qiao Ruo Xing suddenly popped out with that sentence, Yao Ke Xin didn't react for a moment.

Then every penny he spends on you wouldn't that all be our joint marital property In that case, I would legally have the right to claim it back.front of the mirror, the scarlet rouge making her look dazzlingly beautiful.When the body and face leave, it also gives this unrequited love a full stop.At half past two in the afternoon, Qiao Ruoxing...
