Chapter 150 Why Go Far Away When You Have It Near? (6 words in this chapter)
"Don't be envious, this is something you'll never be able to envy in your entire life."
Hu Yuanyuan pouted, giving off a feeling of crushing a noob.
Thinking back to the day they met their family and sister-in-law, she wondered if they had truly treated them that day, and that was how she felt now.
Over the weekend, Mom invited my sister-in-law and Tian Zhenzhen to dinner. It was a formal meeting between the two families, a chance for them to get acquainted, and for Mom to give them their betrothal gifts.
Although her sister-in-law brought a large dowry, her family still couldn't be impolite.
Otherwise, she would really feel like she was betraying her brother, hahaha.
"I envy you? Hu Yuanyuan, you're really shameless. I'd like to see what it is that can broaden my horizons." Liu Leyao's eyes were full of disdain, and of course she didn't believe Hu Yuanyuan's words.
Neither Hu Yuanyuan's family nor her so-called sister-in-law's family had anything decent to offer.
Do they really think everyone is unaware of their family's situation? They even shamelessly begged her cousin's family before. She doesn't believe Hu Yuanyuan has any chance of turning things around.
"My sister-in-law's dowry included two houses, two cars, and a large sum of money."
I won't say how much it cost, I'll just talk about one of the apartments.
It's a large single-level apartment in Haishi Yipin, with an area of over 500 square meters, and its current market value is over 3 million yuan.
"So, even if you sold your whole family, you still couldn't afford it, right?"
Hu Yuanyuan didn't reveal everything, but the value of just one property was enough to make people envious.
Many students who had gathered to watch the spectacle gasped in surprise upon hearing about the houses in Haishi Yipin.
"It's actually a house in Haishi Yipin. The housing prices there are the highest in the country. It costs hundreds of thousands of yuan per square meter, which is enough to buy a house in a small city."
"Yes, people who can live in Haishi Yipin are all rich and powerful. I didn't expect Hu Yuanyuan's family to be so wealthy."
"Since Sister-in-law Hu Yuanyuan's family is so rich, why did Liu Leyao say they were country bumpkins? What country bumpkins are so rich? It's a joke!"
“Oh my, you guys are so silly. You believe everything Hu Yuanyuan says. I even said my family owns a house in Haishi Yipin.” A classmate questioned.
"Turns out she was talking nonsense. I thought it was true."
"What will you do if that's really the case?"
"Of course I want to see the house! It's worth hundreds of millions. Just looking at it is a steal!"
The surrounding students began to discuss the matter. At first, there were exclamations of surprise, but later, more people began to question it.
The houses in Haishi Yipin are simply too amazing. They are inhabited by the rich and powerful. Hu Yuanyuan's family is a little rich, but they can't compare at all.
As a result, very few people believed Hu Yuanyuan's words in the end. Some even looked at Hu Yuanyuan with disdain, thinking that she was fabricating stories out of thin air and that it was shameful.
“Everything I said is true. Why would I lie to you? It’s just a property worth 300 million. My sister-in-law’s dowry was 300 million in cash.”
Do you know how many large trucks it would take to carry 3 million in cash?
I'm telling you, three whole big trucks, I saw it with my own eyes.
Hu Yuanyuan was telling the truth, but her words were still too fantastical for her classmates at the moment, and not many people believed her.
The more she talked, the more I felt that Hu Yuanyuan was bragging.
"Hu Yuanyuan, you're just spouting nonsense. You can't just say whatever you want. Why don't you say your sister-in-law's family is some kind of European aristocracy, with mountains of gold and silver?" Liu Leyao sneered and mocked, originally thinking about how to embarrass Hu Yuanyuan.
Surprisingly, she had quite a lot of screen time.
What do you mean by 300 million for a house? What do you mean by 300 million in cash? Why don't you mention that the pink diamond suit she's wearing is also worth 300 million?
"I have video evidence."
After Hu Yuanyuan finished speaking, she released the video she had taken of the scene with 300 million yuan in cash.
Hu Yuanyuan's voice can be clearly heard in the video, so it's quite credible.
She held up her phone to show everyone.
"Wow, is that 300 million? This is the first time I've seen this so clearly. It's really eye-opening."
"Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen so much money. So Hu Yuanyuan really wasn't lying to us? Her sister-in-law's family is really rich!"
"It seems that Liu Leyao is deliberately making things difficult for Hu Yuanyuan because of her cousin. You can't be sure about matters of the heart. They're about to get married, so there's no need for Liu Leyao to make things difficult for Hu Yuanyuan."
"So, not only did Hu Yuanyuan's family not go bankrupt, but the dowry brought by her new sister-in-law also brought their company back to life?"
"Of course! With that much money, you could buy several of the Hu family's companies."
When the students around her saw the video, their eyes lit up with surprise. They never expected that Hu Yuanyuan's sister-in-law's family would be so rich.
They would choose their current sister-in-law over Liu Leyao's cousin.
Hearing the many mocking comments about her and her cousin around her, Liu Leyao didn't believe a word of the video's authenticity, firmly stating:
"Impossible, this video must have been fabricated by Hu Yuanyuan. I know their family situation best."
If her sister-in-law from the countryside were really that rich, her parents wouldn't have gone to such lengths to arrange a marriage between her and my cousin's family. It's definitely a lie; don't be fooled.
Liu Leyao still doesn't believe Hu Yuanyuan's words and thinks the video is fake.
Hearing her words, Hu Yuanyuan also got angry. You say it's all just talk, so she directly produced the evidence.
Even after I presented the evidence, you still didn't believe me. You're just being unreasonable.
"Liu Leyao, stop being unreasonable. You were the one who made the suggestion first. Do you think I would know in advance and make a video beforehand?"
It's okay if you don't believe me, because I've already proven that my family hasn't gone bankrupt.
As for Jiang Yunhao, you can watch it if you like.
I was just worried about not being able to get rid of him. I don't want him ever appearing in front of me again, hmph.
Hu Yuanyuan felt that Liu Leyao was being stubborn. Anyway, she had already debunked the rumors of their family's bankruptcy, so there was no need to prove it to her anymore; time would tell.
I couldn't care whether Liu Leyao believed it or not.
As for Jiang Yunhao, she was just a little unwilling before, because the person who had always fawned over her suddenly fell in love with someone else, not because she liked Jiang Yunhao.
This is perfect, so that Jiang Yunhao won't bother her anymore and ruin her reputation.
“Yuanyuan, everything before was a misunderstanding. It was Liu Leyao who kept telling me that your family went bankrupt, which is why I agreed to be with her.”
Even today's confession was something she made me do at school, just to spite you.
But you must know that you've always been the one I love.
Jiang Yunhao's eyes darted around. Knowing Hu Yuanyuan as he did, he knew she wasn't smart enough to prepare a video first, so it was probably true.
Seeing the situation of the Hu family, they naturally refused to give up on Hu Yuanyuan.
No matter what, Hu Yuanyuan is prettier than Liu Leyao. Now that the Hu family is not only fine, but has even made further progress, he certainly won't give up.
They blamed all the mistakes on Liu Leyao, and the sweet atmosphere from before was completely gone.
"Jiang Yunhao, what do you mean? You're with me now, yet you're still siding with her."
Besides, what Hu Yuanyuan said might not even be true.
Oh, right, wasn't she also wearing a pink diamond bracelet? Let's have Ke Xiuqi as a witness.
Ke Xiuqi is the young master of Hongyun Jewelry; he'll definitely be able to recognize him at a glance.
Ke Xiuqi is a celebrity at their school. Not only is he good-looking, but his family also owns a jewelry store. He is a prominent figure at their school and the object of many people's secret crushes.
Mentioning Ke Xiuqi made even Hu Yuanyuan blush slightly, a rare occurrence for her. Ke Xiuqi was the object of her secret crush, but the gap between them was too great, so she could only admire him from afar.
"Interesting, I never expected to encounter something so interesting today."
However, let me make it clear beforehand that I will only tell the truth about the material of the bracelet and will not falsify anything.
If any of you can't accept this, you can find someone else.
To everyone's surprise, Ke Xiuqi was also watching the commotion from the sidelines, and his appearance sparked discussion among the girls around him.
"Wow, what's Ke Xiuqi doing here? He's so handsome."
"Yeah, he's our school's most handsome guy. With his looks, he could easily enter the entertainment industry."
"With such a good family background and so much money, how could she possibly enter the entertainment industry?"
“That’s true. Ke Xiuqi has been learning jewelry appraisal from his family since he was a child. He can definitely tell whether Liu Leyao or Hu Yuanyuan is wearing the real thing.”
Ke Xiuqi was just passing by when he happened to see Hu Yuanyuan showing off her phone.
Hearing her words, he became somewhat interested in Hu Yuanyuan's bracelet; perhaps he could really find a good one.
Ke Xiuqi is also passionate about what he does and has unique insights into jewelry.
"Ke Xiuqi, you've come at the perfect time! Quickly help us see which bracelet is real, mine or Hu Yuanyuan's." Liu Leyao didn't expect Ke Xiuqi to arrive so timely, and she grabbed him to prove it for her.
However, Jiang Yunhao, who was standing to the side, saw that Ke Xiuqi's expression had changed and quickly said:
"Le Yao, we're all classmates, there's no need to make things so awkward."
Upon hearing that Jiang Yunhao was still defending Hu Yuanyuan at this point, Liu Leyao was even less likely to let Hu Yuanyuan off the hook; she was determined to embarrass her at school.
"Jiang Yunhao, you need to get this straight. Who is your girlfriend right now? You're not still thinking about Hu Yuanyuan, are you?"
You came to me yourself, saying that Hu Yuanyuan has a bad temper, is difficult to please, and that she has princess syndrome even though she doesn't have the life of a princess, and is all kinds of pretentious.
You said these things to me yourself, that you'd had enough of Hu Yuanyuan.
At this point, Liu Leyao showed no mercy to Jiang Yunhao and recounted all the things he had said to mock Hu Yuanyuan.
Hearing these words, Hu Yuanyuan was furious and immediately took off her bracelet, eager to prove herself.
"Mine is definitely real, Senior Ke, please take a good look."
When Ke Xiuqi saw Hu Yuanyuan like this, he found her somewhat adorable.
He smiled as he accepted the bracelet she offered and examined it closely.
Not to be outdone, Liu Leyao also handed her bracelet to Ke Xiuqi.
"Ke Xiuqi, watch closely. Tell me who's real and who's fake. Don't let anyone take advantage of the situation." Liu Leyao's words almost called out a name.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't joke about something like this."
After Ke Xiuqi finished speaking, he began to examine and authenticate the bracelets. After only a few glances, he quickly discerned which of the two bracelets was real and which was fake.
"I have the results."
Since it was already clear, Ke Xiuqi didn't keep it a secret. The two bracelets were actually quite different in value, so there was no need to spend too much time on it.
"Ke Xiuqi, you really are a professional. You identified it so quickly. You truly have a family tradition of learning."
"Is mine real, and Hu Yuanyuan's fake?" Liu Leyao raised an eyebrow, first praising Ke Xiuqi, then stating her conclusion as if she were watching a good show.
"No, both of these bracelets are real, they are both real pink diamond bracelets."
However, pink diamonds also vary in material. One of these two is a lab-grown pink diamond, while the other reaches a quality of at least "Fancy Light Pink," which is quite nice and beautiful.
