Chapter 56

"Absurd! Li Qiuyan was the famous number one scholar in the dynasty, and Lin Xiaofeng was just an unknown local official. How could he use legitimate means to win the prince's favor? He must have used some insidious and cunning means to confuse the prince... ··“The buzz of discussion was like the hustle and bustle of a night market, filling the air.

"..."

Lin Xiaofeng's face suddenly became as gloomy as the mist at dusk. That solemn expression seemed to freeze the air. His eyes turned into a cold and sharp arrow, passing through the noisy crowd and piercing directly towards the two people. The half-lit space of the building.

The doubts in his heart were rolling, like a raging undercurrent, constantly hitting the dam in his heart, and he whispered: "What kind of thoughts does this woman have? She has promised to bring the goods, so she should abide by her duty. Why must she be so reckless? He dragged me forcefully into this vortex."

At this time, Li Dexian seemed to sense the turn of Lin Xiaofeng's thoughts. He skillfully touched Lin Xiaofeng's waist with his elbow, and a sly and playful teasing flowed from his words: "I originally thought it was about... As for the secret matter of life and death, I didn’t expect that it was just a matter of running around and working hard for some dazzling jewelry.”

He raised the corners of his mouth, and there was a teasing look in his eyes, as if he was mocking the pomp and vanity of the world.

Li Dexian laughed loudly and patted Lin Xiaofeng's shoulder heavily. The laughter was full of surprise and admiration for his friend's romantic encounter: "Oh, Lao Lin, you really have a way of making that famous person spread all over the world quietly. The oiran has taken care of it! I want to go back and brag about this to my sister!"

Faced with Li Dexian's teasing, Lin Xiaofeng's forehead quietly showed a few shallow wrinkles, with complex emotions of helplessness and vigilance intertwined between his brows: "Dexian, in front of the princess, you must not expose me, our relationship... Do you still want to continue the business?”

His mind was tangled, and Lu Xuanxin's enthusiasm made him have to be more cautious. After all, everything in front of him was still foggy, making it difficult to grasp the true intention behind it.

Lin Xiaofeng fell into deep thinking: among those young men who came from a wealthy family and held all the power, who wouldn't covet Lu Xuanxin's peerless elegance and talent? According to the normal situation in the world, she should be surrounded by people vying for flattery. Why does she behave so differently, full of mystery and strangeness to herself?

"Could it be that my poems and songs touched your heart?" Lin Xiaofeng smiled bitterly in his heart. Even he himself felt that this guess was too far-fetched.

Just when Lin Xiaofeng was immersed in his own world, Li Dexian's call brought him back to reality from his meditation: "I said, Lao Lin, where did your mind wander to?" Li Dexian gently poked him again, and in his words There was both blame and concern.

Lin Xiaofeng came to his senses and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, forming a hidden smile, but he did not respond.

Deep down in his heart, he was thinking: Perhaps in this world, fragile glass can better reflect the true face of human emotions than the hard and eternal diamond.

In the broad and lively square in front of Baihua Building, the crowd gradually faded away like a tide. Lin Xiaofeng stood steadily in front of his stall, facing the distant sky, waving gently.

At this moment, as if the curtain of a drama slowly opened, the dancers who had been hiding in the dark corners stepped onto the stage of the square one after another. Their appearance was like the moonlight lighting up the night, the breeze blowing across the lake, and every tiny movement was filled with emotion. So poetically graceful.

They dance in groups of three or five, walking with light steps, as if they are petals blown away by the spring breeze, or fairies that have strayed into the world. With their flowing dance, they give this ordinary place a boundless romantic imagination. .

Under the profound background of the stage, a display of magnificence and brilliance is quietly taking place.

The shining diamond rings were like the stars falling in the night sky, carefully placed on the exhibition stand. Each one shone with a unique light, which was breathtaking. Immediately afterwards, a voice suddenly penetrated the square. It was the enthusiastic shout of a "shopping guide":

“A diamond is forever, a diamond lasts forever!”

"The shining light is my burning love!"

"Luxury blooms at this moment, all in this diamond!"

These words came out of her mouth loudly and loudly. They were not just business calls, but also her persistent pursuit and passionate yearning for a better life.

Her passionate words are just like the dancing girls' agile movements, which together form a vivid and fascinating picture, making it difficult for people to resist its temptation.

In an instant, the crowd seemed to be attracted by a magnet, rushing towards the gleaming stall, vying to see those dazzling diamonds.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed: "Is this the legendary diamond? It's really breathtakingly beautiful! How much does this ring cost? I want to buy one!"

The shopping guide with a gentle face and a smile responded calmly: "Dear guest, what you have in front of you is a medium-sized diamond, which is priced at only one hundred taels of silver. In addition, we will also provide A professional appraisal certificate issued by an authoritative organization ensures worry-free quality.”

However, when the price was made public, most people in the crowd could not help but hesitate, and some even left in anger. One hundred taels of silver was indeed a large amount of money for ordinary people. They whispered that this was undoubtedly a big deal.

Looking at those diamonds, although they are dazzling, in their eyes, they are not that huge in size. In comparison, it seems that it is more cost-effective to spend such a huge sum of money to buy a piece of jade that is as gentle as jade.

But no matter what, this prosperous feast composed of diamonds, dancers and shopping guides has left a deep mark on everyone's heart.

Lin Xiaofeng saw that the atmosphere was almost over, and immediately stepped forward as a "sitter" and squeezed through the crowded crowd. His high-pitched and passionate voice penetrated the noise and pointed directly at the store: "I said shopkeeper, you guys Are you doing a black business? How can you drive up prices so wantonly, with no bottom line!"

The "shopping guide" in fine clothes turned his head when he heard the sound and saw that it was Lin Xiaofeng. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, as carefree as a willow leaf blowing in the water. She followed the lines that she had memorized long ago and said calmly: "Fellow folks, please be quiet and listen to what I am saying."

"This thing is extraordinary. It absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and has been nurtured for thousands of years. Even the ring setting that holds the gems is made of 999 sterling silver, which is rare in the world. It has been carefully crafted by craftsmen after thousands of tempers."

"Looking at the dazzling main stone, it is said that the prince, in order to sympathize with the people, specially broke the wall and took out the stones and turned them into jewelry. He used this opportunity to have fun with everyone and celebrate the prosperity of the world during the festival."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with light, and he clapped his hands as if enlightened: "Oh, so that's it! This is actually a rare treasure given to the people by the prince himself! From this point of view, the price is very real, it can even be said that it is It’s worth every penny! Just imagine, once such a treasure is broken, it cannot be regenerated. If it is left alone for several years, its value will probably double several times!”

He said firmly: "Give me two necklaces!"

The "shopping guide" responded, his voice still calm and pleasant: "Dear guest, do you know that every diamond in our necklace is huge and dazzling, so each necklace is priced at three hundred taels of silver."

Lin Xiaofeng was so proud that he waved his hand and said loudly: "Three hundred taels of silver is nothing! Give me three necklaces, plus a ring, to make up the whole number!"

Without saying a word, he took out his heavy purse and paid the price decisively. The "shopping guide" took the silver coins with admiration in his eyes. He carefully put the three necklaces into a delicate porcelain box and handed them to Lin Xiaofeng respectfully.

This scene seems ordinary, but in fact it hides a mystery. An old routine is played in a new way, but the effect is remarkable. When the crowd of onlookers saw this, their original doubts began to waver, thinking: The expensive goods may arouse suspicion, but if the banner of the prince is involved, who can easily question it?

After all, in this bright world, who has the guts to cheat openly and not get his own head?

Ever since, the hesitation and confusion among the crowd quietly dissipated, replaced by a ready desire to buy.

When the "shopping guide" saw that the bustling scene in front of the stall was getting more and more intense like a raging fire cooking oil, he couldn't help but raise his voice by a few decibels and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Dear guests, please take a look, our sparkling Three necklaces have been sold, and now there are only ninety-seven necklaces left! Don’t miss this opportunity, it will never come again, if you miss it today, there will no longer be such a brilliant diamond necklace for you to buy in the world!”

Among the crowd, a man's voice suddenly penetrated the noise. Although his voice was calm, it was full of inquiry: "How much does that ring with small diamonds cost?"

"Seventy-nine taels of silver!" the shopping guide answered immediately, with a smile blooming like a spring flower on his face, and every wrinkle told the merchant's shrewdness and enthusiasm.

"Then take one!" A rough and bold response came out of the air, and a burly man showed open-mindedness in his gestures and his words were decisive and without hesitation.

"Dear guests, please note that there are only ninety-nine small diamond rings left in stock!" The shopping guide raised a sly arc on his lips. There was a hint of pride and satisfaction in his smile, as if he was intoxicated by this rush to buy. among.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng was like a cunning and agile fox, shuttling among the crowd, moving left and right, moving up and down, constantly teasing people's emotions.

His eyes were sparkling, full of excitement and passion, and there was a cynical smile on his cheeks. Every gesture and every look in his eyes was full of inciting power, like a solo dancer on a dramatic stage, controlling the rhythm of the whole place. .

Outside the crowd, Li Dexian and his party stood awkwardly, watching Lin Xiaofeng's wonderful performance.

Li Dexian looked helpless and shook his head slightly, sighing in his heart that this was really a loss of face.

"Old Lin is lying again!" Li Dexian shook his head and said.

Xie Hongxin looked confused, but insisted: "My lord, he never lies!"

Yin Jiajin was also helpless. She knew that although Lin Xiaofeng was eloquent, he was actually an honest person.

She gently rubbed her palms, her eyes following Lin Xiaofeng's figure moving easily among the crowd.

Those diamond jewelry are indeed beautiful. If you are wealthy, you may not be able to resist the temptation.

However, when she lowered her head and glanced at her empty pockets, and then looked up to see how Lin Xiaofeng was inciting the enthusiasm of the crowd, she understood that those expensive diamond jewelry were not within her reach.

Emotions spread among the crowd like a virus. As the number of people rushing to buy gradually increased, the atmosphere of the entire market rose to a boiling point.

Some people have romantic feelings about giving diamonds to their sweethearts, while others are attracted by the future value-added potential of diamonds.

Although most of the people gathered here are noble men from well-off families, there are only a few who can casually spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a piece of jewelry.

Under Lin Xiaofeng's clever instigation and the encouragement of the surrounding people, many people's eyes turned red, and they poured out their pockets and used all the silver they had on them to buy a ring.

Even those who cannot afford a large diamond will still get a small one to wear, because in their view, it is not only a decoration, but also a precious treasure of the prince that symbolizes status. A trading boom intertwined with desire and expectation reached its climax at this moment.

Seeing the crowd in front of the stall like a boiling oil pan, so lively and exciting, Lin Xiaofeng's heart quietly settled down at this moment, finding a rare trace of peace.

He led his three followers, walking slowly and leisurely in this bustling city with a gentle smile on his face, immersed in this long-lost relaxation and tranquility.

When the time for a stick of incense passed, they set foot on the bustling sales scene again.

At this moment, the extremely noisy peak hours have faded away, leaving only a few gorgeous figures - a few dancing girls transformed into enthusiastic shopping guides, still selling at the top of their lungs, their voices penetrating the air like broken gongs and hitting people's hearts.

"Only the last five unique rings are left! No need for 9999 taels! No need for 2999 taels! Only 79 taels are needed! Sell them and cherish them, no more misses!"

Lin Xiaofeng stood quietly aside, with a cunning and gratified light in his eyes, and snickered secretly in his heart.

He knew that the passion for the work of these women he invited was like a raging fire cooking oil, burning blazingly.

He has promised in his heart that when this grand promotional event comes to an end, he will award each of them an exquisite ring worth a hundred taels as a reward for their efforts.

However, this so-called "limited edition" ring is actually a false shot.

As long as there is demand, workshops can create them at any time, and they are not truly scarce.

However, Lin Xiaofeng is well versed in sales and people's pursuit of rare objects. Such marketing methods can often arouse consumers' desire to buy.

Furthermore, no one at the sales site would really care how many pieces were sold, so this dramatic shouting became a sharp sword to stimulate consumption.

Under the counter, all kinds of glittering jewelry are laid out in luxuriant flowers, with the total number reaching more than 2,000 pieces.

Looking back at the beginning, Lin Xiaofeng placed an order of more than 5,000 pieces in Xiangyangqu County. However, due to time constraints and the need for manual work on some of the fine craftsmanship, the final actual output could only remain at the scale it is today. Despite this, judging from today's sales, not all of the more than 2,000 pieces of jewelry have been sold out.

Once the highway from Yangqu County to the capital is opened, these rings that were not sold in time may have to return to normal and be circulated in the market as ordinary jewelry.

However, even so, the sales performance created today has become a legend in the business world and an eye-catching business miracle.

··············································

At this moment, in front of the stall, a noble man and a beautiful lady were standing side by side. Their eyes were drawn by a sparkling diamond ring, as if their souls were captured by its bright light.

The diamond ring was like a star falling into the mortal world, shining with alluring luster, but because of the high price tag behind it, it turned into a deep and cold gap, ruthlessly crossing before their eyes, like a barrier between reality and desire. .

Immediately afterwards, the man and woman began to whisper together, and the words were entangled in the night like threads, adding a subtle tension to the surrounding air.

Not far away, four onlookers approached quietly. Their eyes were as sharp as eagles, they held their breath and their hearts were filled with prying curiosity.

I could only hear the beauty crying, tears sliding down her cheeks like ripples, and she said sadly: "Sir, this diamond ring really belongs to me, and I can't help feeling so deeply. Since I followed you five years ago, I have never said anything to you. You have made the slightest request. But now, I just want this most inconspicuous diamond ring. Has this small wish turned into a luxury that I can't reach? I just want to have it as a way to As a token that we have weathered the storm and supported each other.”

When the noble prince in white heard this, his face instantly darkened, and his words showed a bit of uncontrollable sullenness: "Yueyue, do you know that the smallest one also requires seventy-nine taels of silver, how can you do this? Are you willful? I have raised you up to now and I have never let you suffer any hardship. What else do you feel dissatisfied about?"

The woman was still sobbing, with tears in her eyes: "Then do you dislike me?"

The noble master became more and more irritable, and his words were mixed with helplessness and anxiety: "That's enough, don't cry anymore, your tears make me confused. If you continue like this, I can only go to Baihua Tower alone to seek a moment of peace. Think about it, how much happiness can be exchanged for those seventy-nine taels of silver?"

After hearing this, the woman quickly wiped away her tears, her voice trembling with sobs: "Okay, okay, I went too far. I will never mention this again. Although that ring is beautiful, it is not unique in the world. As long as you are here There is no material thing around me that can compare with it. This is a confession from the bottom of my heart, and it is also my persistence in holding on to this relationship."

"Eh~~~"

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaofeng, Li Dexian and others were filled with contempt.

Under the intertwining gazes of four piercing eyes, Lin Xiaofeng smiled leisurely. That smile was like a sharp sword with insight into the world. Its sharp edge penetrated the surrounding air mercilessly and pierced the hearts of the viewers.

His eyes were as sharp as a torch, as if he could easily tear through the film of disguise, and he looked at the noble man opposite him. There was both playful ridicule and contempt for hypocrisy.

The corner of his mouth curved, and what he whispered was filled with deep irony and disdain for the noble master's so-called promise: "The money from the prostitute was well spent, but when it came time to buy a ring, he suddenly became poor. ? He’s really a peerless scumbag who talks about his mouth and paints cakes to satisfy his hunger.”

At this time, Li Dexian's eyes were burning with anger, and his fists were clenched so hard that his joints turned white. With a groan of dissatisfaction, he pushed up his sleeves hard, and his whole face was distorted with indignation: "This kind of person He just needs to be beaten, I have to show him some color!"

However, Lin Xiaofeng's hand gently rested on Li Dexian's shoulder, like a willow leaf brushing across the water. His eyes were calm but bottomless, and the smile that spread at the corner of his mouth was like the warm sun in winter, illuminating the cold. In the corner, behind that calmness was the confidence that the situation was certain to be won: "Lao Li, wait a minute, we are not the ones doing business with ruthless characters on the street. There is no need to use force to deal with such a person, just let him have a taste of our methods ."

The two of them walked steadily toward the dazzling jewelry stalls. Lin Xiaofeng's eyes passed over the rows of shining jewelry, and the cunning look in them was like the last glance of a fox before preying.

He turned to the graceful dancing girl shopping guide, and his words contained domineering and decisive words: "Wrap up all the jewelry here for me. What I'm saying is - not a single one is left, all of them are in your pocket!"

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes drifted inadvertently in the direction of your noble son Pei Yiping, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became thicker, with a hint of provocation in it.

The dancing girl shopping guide, who had already been watching everyone's words, immediately received the signal, deliberately raised her voice, and said with a hint of regret: "Oh, sir, what a coincidence, a few of these rings have just been booked, and there are also rings next to you. The distinguished guest is planning to take the last one. Look at this..."

Lin Xiaofeng immediately turned around and faced the noble master Pei Yiping, whose face was gradually darkening. His smile became brighter and more meaningful: "I wonder what is this brother's name?"

Pei Yiping's face was instantly covered with frost, and an indescribable displeasure surged in his heart. He lowered his voice and responded with an imperceptible tremor: "My surname is Pei, and the cursive character is Yiping."

Lin Xiaofeng still maintained his signature smile, like the sparkling water on the lake surface blown by the spring breeze. He spoke to Pei Yiping leisurely, with a hint of ridicule and probing in his words, "Brother Pei, do you still want this ring?" Do you want it? If you don't want it, I'll just take it. Look at your wife's expression, is she weighing its value in her heart? "

Pei Yiping tried hard to suppress the anger surging in his chest, his voice was so low that it seemed to come from deep in his heart, and he asked with unconcealable majesty, "What is your origin?"

The corners of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth raised slightly, and a slightly contemptuous smile bloomed on his face, like the mottled shadows of autumn leaves in the sun, "In the world, they call me Mr. De, so you should call me that."

"Mr. De?" Pei Yiping frowned. This name was extremely unfamiliar to him. His patience was like a candle swaying in the night wind, gradually extinguished.

Lin Xiaofeng pointed her slender fingers at the ring tightly held in Pei Yiping's hand, her eyes firm and fiery, "I'm attracted to this ring. Brother Pei might as well give it up."

Pei Yiping's eyes widened with blazing fire, and he asked, "Why do you say that?"

When Lin Xiaofeng heard this, he let out a disdainful sneer, and his words were full of provocation, "It's just because you are so tight, Brother Pei. We know how to talk in secret. If you are so procrastinating, isn't it a waste of good time?"

Pei Yiping boasted that he already had eighteen beautiful concubines in his home. If he was so entangled every time he went shopping, he would probably have no time to take care of other things. He was about to open his mouth to refute, but he suddenly felt that it was not worth spending hundreds of taels of silver for this ring. So, he angrily pulled up the sleeves of the woman next to him and decided to walk away.

However, just as they were about to step out of the door, Lin Xiaofeng's voice sounded again, like ice in the cold winter wind, cold and sharp, "Girl, I don't think Brother Pei is a person who can be trusted for life."

"You are so beautiful and fragrant, you might as well go with me. He is not even willing to buy a ring for you. If you are willing to follow me back to my house and become the nineteenth concubine of my house, I will definitely It will allow you to enjoy the ultimate luxury and wealth in the world.”

"I don't dare to praise Haikou for anything else, but I, Lin, will never be stingy with some gold, silver, and fine jewelry."

Pei Yiping's chest surged like waves, and his tiger-like eyes instantly focused on Lin Xiaofeng, as if they could penetrate his inner world. His voice was filled with an irrepressible anger, like thunder exploding: "Lin Xiaofeng, did you come here this time intentionally to stir up trouble and find trouble with me?"

Lin Xiaofeng's expression remained unchanged, as calm as a deep pool of still water. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The smile was full of disdain and ridicule for Pei Yiping's question: "Looking for trouble? How can I have that American time? Just because It’s really bad luck to buy a ring and meet a poor guy like you who occupies a valuable position but does nothing.”

He deliberately straightened his back, assuming a superior posture, turned his nostrils to the sky, and sneered: "Let me tell you, all the pretty concubines in my eighteenth room are coveting this ring, and you are here If you put your foot in the side, which onion does it count as?"

After speaking, he turned around leisurely to face the woman, with a smile that seemed gentle but was actually arrogant. His words were full of arrogance: "Girl, you have to understand that a man who truly loves you will give everything he has to you. Just to make you smile. Those men who only talk sweet words but are actually unwilling to pay anything for you are mostly hypocrites who are hypocritical."

Seeing the other party's expression, Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but laugh inwardly: "My punch today has gathered the power accumulated over five thousand years. Do you have the guts to take it?!"

Lin Xiaofeng's words were like a thunderbolt from the clear sky, causing the woman to be shocked and confused. A trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. I silently said to myself in my heart: These words are exactly what I have always wanted to say but could not express!

She raised her eyes to look at Lin Xiaofeng, her eyes filled with respect and curiosity, as if she was exploring this man who dared to challenge authority and could speak out the true feelings of the world eloquently.

Pei Yiping, the man who was as calm as a mountain in his daily life, was like a volcano about to erupt at this moment. His face was instantly stained with anger like a ripe tomato, his fists were clenched into two hard hills, and his inner embarrassment was like that of a violent storm. The broken ship was swaying unsteadily, but his self-esteem was the mast that stubbornly resisted the storm. No matter how bumpy it was, he was determined not to succumb to the predicament at hand. He glared at Lin Xiaofeng fiercely, and his words seemed to be mixed with thunderous anger: "Yueyue, let's go, we don't have to get into unnecessary entanglements with such a rude and arrogant person!"

Yueyue stood there, as if time had frozen at her feet, and her figure cast a hesitant shadow under the bright light. Her eyes wandered between the shining ring and Lin Xiaofeng's deep eyes, like a silent and fierce inner tug-of-war. Her eyes for help were like falling leaves, with a touch of confusion and helplessness, quietly falling on Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng faced this situation with a sly smile on his lips, like a carefree fox. He strode towards Yin Jiajin, took her catkins decisively and domineeringly, and loudly announced to the dancing shopping guide: "Hey, bring that ring quickly, I want to put it on my wife myself. Anyway, the bag is The shy guy has given up!"

Upon hearing this, the dancing shopping guide immediately acted like a well-trained cat. She quickly took out a huge diamond ring from the jewelry cabinet and held it in front of Lin Xiaofeng's eyes. Lin Xiaofeng took the ring and made every move with caution, as if he were handling a rare treasure. He gently put the ring on Yin Jiajin's slender finger. At that moment, the contact between the ring and the skin seemed to be a mysterious contract. Let the ring blend with Yin Jiajin's finger, as if they were a perfect match.

Yin Jiajin stared at the ring on her hand, and an intoxicating blush quietly appeared on her cheeks, which was the color of shyness and joy. She raised her eyes and looked at Lin Xiaofeng. There were complicated lights and shadows in her eyes, which contained both doubts about the sudden gift and surprise about the unknown future. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she received such a special gift. This surprise was like the sunshine in winter, penetrating the gloom and illuminating her heart.

At this moment, Pei Yiping's voice was like a harsh brake sound that broke through this delicate harmony: "Wait a minute! Who said I don't want it anymore? Take off the ring quickly!" His words were full of dissatisfaction that could not be concealed. and provocation, like a wounded beast roaring in warning.

Lin Xiaofeng turned around and glanced at Pei Yiping coldly. The arrogance in his words was like a sharp sword: "Ha, this ring has become a companion on my wife's finger. How can there be any reason to take it off again? I advise You’d better leave as soon as possible to avoid embarrassing yourself.”

When the word "Madam" came out of Lin Xiaofeng's mouth, Yin Jiajin's heart trembled violently as if it was plucked by invisible strings. She subconsciously gently covered her cheeks with her hands, and a sweet warmth flowed quietly in her heart, like the birth of spring water and the revival of all things.

When Pei Yiping heard this, he sneered and turned to the dancing girl shopping guide. His words were full of accusations and doubts: "Obviously I was the one who liked it first, why did you give it to him first? I want to ask, what should this ring be?" Who owns it?”

The dancing girl's shopping guide looked embarrassed, like a deer that had strayed into a fight between two tigers, and timidly replied: "It's yours, Mr. Pei, after all, you are the first guest. Mr. De, can you please give your wife's Will the ring be returned temporarily?”

In the bustling market, the crowds of people surged like a tidal wave, but Lin Xiaofeng was like a pebble thrown into the middle of the lake, walking quickly through the crowds and heading straight to the stall where a sparkling large diamond ring was located. And go. His eyes were as hot as fire, burning with a desire that was almost greedy. The blazing light could almost penetrate the turmoil and noise of the world. Before he could take a breath, he couldn't wait to ask the stall owner: "What is the price of this ring? I am willing to pay an additional one hundred taels of silver on this basis!"

The stall owner was a sophisticated old man. Seeing Lin Xiaofeng's eagerness, he couldn't help but smile at the corners of his eyes, and with a slightly teasing curve at the corner of his mouth, he said slowly: "The original price of this large diamond ring was two hundred taels of silver. If If you add more, it will be three hundred taels."

At this moment, a rich man in rich clothes suddenly appeared in the crowd - Pei Yiping. His steps were steady and his brows were full of arrogance. As soon as he opened his mouth, he spoke aggressively: "I also offer three hundred taels of silver! "

Lin Xiaofeng's eyes flashed with a look of struggle, like a trapped animal hesitating on the edge of life and death. He lowered his head and closed his lips tightly, the waves in his heart tumbling silently. After a moment, he raised his head, with firm but painful eyes, and said word by word: "Okay! You are cruel! I will give you this ring!"

Yin Jiajin, who was at the side, covered her face with her delicate hands, trying to avoid this sudden battle. However, Lin Xiaofeng forcefully opened her hands, and with trembling fingers, she slowly took off the bracelet carrying the The diamond ring with endless emotions was thrown to Pei Yiping resolutely.

Pei Yiping took the ring with a proud and contemptuous smile on his face. He put the ring on the jade hand of the woman next to him without hesitation, and his words were full of sarcasm: "Don't show off here if you don't have money. You are just showing off." I, Pei Yiping, have seen a lot of wealthy locals, haha!"

After that, he hugged the woman and left with a proud face. When the woman looked back, there was an inexplicable feeling of gratitude shining in her eyes.

Yin Jiajin's world seemed to suddenly collapse at this moment. Losing the ring was like losing the source of power that supported everything. Her brain fell into a pale silence, and the joy she had just felt was gone. Tears swirled in her eyes, and the pain in her heart was like thousands of needles pricking her, making her almost unable to breathe.

"Why?" She murmured lowly, her voice so thin that only she could hear it, "Why do you all treat me like this? Am I so insignificant in your heart?"

At this moment, Yin Jiajin's grievance, loss and anger were intertwined into a mess. Her eyes were dim, as if the whole world was laughing at her powerlessness and helplessness.

Yin Jiajin, this woman was like a wounded cub at the moment, biting her lower lip, and her slightly trembling lips showed her silent inner struggle. Her head was lowered so low that it almost touched her chest, as if she was deliberately avoiding the scrutiny of the world. Her stubbornness and sadness were intertwined to form a touching picture. Her hands, like a pair of souls with no place to rest, tightly grasped the corner of her skirt, so hard that her fingertips looked pale and weak from excessive exertion. This insignificant movement was like a sharp key, quietly opening the tense and fearful world deep in her heart.

Suddenly, a pair of solid and powerful hands broke into her sight like a bolt from the blue. They held her hands firmly, with an irresistible force. Immediately afterwards, a shining diamond ring was gently put on her finger under the intertwining of moonlight and lights, like a star falling into the mortal world.

Yin Jiajin's body trembled slightly with this series of sudden changes. She slowly raised her face full of confusion and surprise, her eyes as deep as night, and stared at the man in front of her - Lin Xiaofeng. A calm and confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The two rows of white teeth shone like pearls under the light, illuminating the surrounding air. What he said was even more powerful: "Do you like it? If you think that ring is not enough That’s appropriate, I can exchange it for a bigger one for you.”

Yin Jiajin's heart felt as if a ray of sunlight had passed through the lake surface, causing ripples and sparkling waves in an instant. She stared at Lin Xiaofeng, her eyes filled with an indescribable tenderness and infatuation, and the blush on her cheeks was like flowers reflected in the sunset, so delicate and beautiful that it made people feel loved.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Yin Jiajin's reaction, but his face suddenly stiffened, as if he had a premonition of something ominous. He asked himself in his heart, this is just a game, why is the woman in front of him so devoted, like a passionate heroine?

The eyes of the two met in mid-air, causing subtle electric sparks to collide, and the air seemed to become sticky as a result. Yin Jiajin lowered her eyes shyly, like buds waiting to bloom.
