“Oh, that pink diamond. It’s been processed. It was just delivered yesterday.” Baro couldn’t help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. Fortunately, a few days ago, Country F called to ask if they wanted to send him the necklace of the processed pink diamond.
He originally thought that after a period of time, he would coincidentally make a trip to Country F. When the time came, he would personally go and get it. It would be so safe.
However, he immediately thought about it. He had a lot of things to do on a daily basis. At that time, what if his plans changed? Therefore, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the other party’s request to personally send it over.
At this moment, Baro was unintentionally rejoicing. He was rejoicing over his choice back then. Otherwise, he would probably be hopping around anxiously. “Then Master, I’ll help you bring it over now and let you take a look?”
“Yes. Okay.”
This pink diamond was accidentally obtained by Yuwen Jing and had not been processed yet. After obtaining this pink diamond, Yuwen Jing’s first thought was to personally design a necklace for Chen Meng’er to be embedded with this pink diamond.
After Yuwen Jing finished drawing the design, he handed the design and the pink diamond to the most famous jewelry master in Country F and asked him to help with the production.

As for the Green Gang, the atmosphere was not much better.
“I told you, Wharton, you never had any good ideas. I knew it. You came back to the capital this time to snatch my granddaughter.” Elder Liu was instantly furious. “Hmph, I’m telling you, don’t even think about it. I won’t let you get what you want.”
“Hey hey, I’m telling you, Liu Bolin, can you be reasonable? I’m not here to snatch your granddaughter. No matter how much you treasure your granddaughter, sooner or later, she will have to find a partner and get married. Instead of letting her marry someone you’re not familiar with, you might as well let her marry someone you know well. That way, she won’t be bullied!” This time, for the sake of his grandson being able to marry Chen Meng’er, Elder Wharton was going all out.
Otherwise, how could he speak so nicely to Elder Liu?
“You want to say that I know everything about you? Yes, I do know quite a bit about your family. However, given how chaotic your Wharton family is, I’m even more worried about marrying my granddaughter into it. I’m afraid that when my granddaughter marries into your family, she will be bullied by others.” Elder Liu looked at Elder Wharton with a face full of disdain as he spoke.
“Then how is the Buyano family better than our family?” Elder Wharton said with a face full of reluctance.
“Yeah, it’s still better than your family. Who asked the Buyano family to not have such a difficult old man like you?” Elder Liu raised his eyebrows as he spoke to Elder Wharton.
Chen Meng’er, who had been sitting at the side, was the center of the conversation. When she saw the two old men arguing so fiercely, she had a terrible headache. “Enough, both of you, stop for a while. Don’t you find it tiring? I find it noisy.” Chen Meng’er couldn’t help but rub her temples. “Regarding the matter between me, Chen Ming, and Yuwen Jing, we will take care of it ourselves. It’s useless for the both of you to get involved,” Chen Meng’er said. She turned to look at Elder Wharton. “Elder Wharton, I welcome you to the Green Gang to chat with my grandfather and reminisce about the past. However, if you are here for the matter between Chen Ming and me, then I’m sorry. From tomorrow onwards, the gate of the Green Gang will not be opened for you.”
“Hey, little girl, how can you speak like this? What right do you have to do this?” It was the first time that Elder Wharton had been slapped in the face by a brat. He immediately refused to accept it.
“I have this right. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my grandfather if I have this right or not.” Chen Meng’er’s attitude also became firm.
Elder Liu nodded his head very cooperatively. “The Green Gang has long been handed over to Meng’er. You also know this, so I’m sorry. Here, my little girl has the final say.” Seeing that Elder Wharton had suffered a blow from Chen Meng’er, Elder Liu indicated that he was in a very happy mood.
When Chen Meng’er spoke, Chen Ming’s gaze had always been on Chen Meng’er. and Chen Meng’er’s words caused Chen Ming’s eyes, which had originally lit up with a glimmer of hope, to darken bit by bit.
He had thought that his grandfather’s appearance would be his last glimmer of hope. However, now that he looked at it, it wasn’t so. Chen Meng’er’s rejection was so obvious. His heart hurt so much that he couldn’t breathe.
He only wanted the girl that he liked. Why was it so difficult?
Chen Meng’er had never dared look at Chen Ming’s expression, much less look at Chen Ming’s disappointed gaze. She was afraid that she would be soft-hearted and give Chen Ming a little hope. However, she knew that this hope was not worth it.
Because, a little hope, in the end, would be a great disappointment.
Elder Wharton seemed to be unwilling to give up. When he left, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Chen Meng’er. He said, “Little girl, think about it again. This grandson of mine is a good person. He’s sincere to you. If you accept him, he’ll definitely not be distracted.”
“Elder Wharton, I know Chen Ming’s character. But, I’m sorry. When I’m with Yuwen Jing, I won’t give anyone any hope. You should know that if I give Chen Ming hope when I’m with Yuwen Jing, I’m not treating him well, but harming him.” Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Wharton seriously.
After hearing Chen Meng’er’s words, Elder Wharton’s mouth opened and closed. In the end, it only turned into a sigh. “Sigh, if Chen Ming is able to marry you in the end, this isn’t only his fortune, it’s also our family’s fortune. Little girl, I have high hopes for you. Don’t worry, I won’t get involved in the matters between you youngsters. Tomorrow, I’m purely here to have tea with your grandfather.”
“Okay.”
Just as Chen Meng’er agreed, Elder Liu looked at Elder Wharton with a look of disdain and asked, “Who wants to have tea with you?”
