Chapter 69 Fake Diamond

"One hundred white diamonds?!"

Lu Chengshan paused while drinking tea, quickly put down the cup, and looked at Xue Qiu in front of him in shock.

"Take out those one hundred white diamonds and show them to me."

Xue Qiu pushed the bag of diamonds in front of Lu Chengshan and said, "Mr. Lu, Wen Zhi bought these diamonds in order to sever her relationship with us. She was afraid that we would marry her in the future, so she spent a hundred white diamonds to buy out the relationship between us and her."

Lu Chengshan picked up the bag of diamonds, opened it, and revealed the diamonds inside.

He took out a diamond that glowed with colorful light and looked at Xue Qiu in confusion, "Buy it out?"

Xue Qiu nodded and sighed even more heavily.

"Mr. Lu, you don't know that my husband and I knew that Wen Zhi was not our biological daughter, but we put in countless efforts to raise her and train her into a rich lady."

"But she became increasingly disobedient when she turned 18, contradicting us at every turn, and became a rotten person to the core."

"Just last month, she started dating a yellow-haired guy behind our backs and got pregnant before marriage."

"In fact, if she was pregnant, she could have had an abortion. But what's even more infuriating is that when we took her to the hospital for a checkup, we found that she had several heart diseases."

When she said this, her eyes became red.

"After all, my husband and I have raised her for so many years, and we couldn't bear to let her go, so we decided to treat her illness."

Her voice became more and more choked up, "But you never thought that she would actually tell us that she would cut off all ties with us because of that yellow-haired guy and the baby in her belly!"

Lu Chengshan couldn't even bear to look at the diamond in his hand, his attention was all on what Xue Qiu said.

"Mrs. Wen, I don't think Wen Zhi is the kind of person you say she is."

She's pretty and generous, and doesn't look like someone who would fall in love with a yellow-haired guy.

Besides, Wen Zhi doesn't look like someone who has a heart disease and is pregnant.

Xue Qiu seemed to be a very good adoptive mother to Wen Zhi, but in fact, it felt like every word she said to Wen Zhi was full of disgust.

If he had not had contact with Wen Zhi several times, he would probably have really believed what Xue Qiu said.

Xue Qiu secretly wiped away tears, "Mr. Lu, Wen Zhi has always been a good actress, plus she has a pure face, it's easy to deceive people."

"Every time she meets someone, she uses that face to deceive them. If they haven't known each other for a long time, she won't reveal her true nature at all."

She shook her head and said, "Mr. Lu, as you spend more time with her, you will find that she is a liar and a habitual liar."

Lu Chengshan frowned and said nothing.

The next second, there was a knock on the door outside the study.

"Mr. Lu, can I come in?"

When Lu Chengshan heard Xu Yongqi's voice, he immediately said, "Yongqi, come in."

Xu Yongqi walked in with a plate of fruit and came to Lu Chengshan with a smile.

"Mr. Lu, these are the fresh fruits that Miss Wen brought. She specifically asked me to bring them to you to try."

When he came to Lu Chengshan's side, he deliberately bent down, leaned close to Lu Chengshan's ear, and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Wen asked me to tell you something. Be careful of Xue Qiu. The diamond in her hand is fake."

After that, Xu Yongqi stood up with a smile and glanced at Xue Qiu, "Madam Wen, try the fruit. I'll go out first."

Then he left.

Lu Chengshan silently kept Xu Yongqi's words in his heart. For some reason, he always felt that what Wen Zhi said was more convincing than what Xue Qiu said.

Xue Qiu glanced at the fruits, his eyes turned disgusted, and he pretended to be calm and said, "Mr. Lu, take a look at the diamonds first."

Lu Chengshan heard the urging in Xue Qiu's tone, he smiled, "Okay, let me see." He held the diamond up to the light.

It shines with colorful light and is so transparent that you can see through it at a glance.

It looks exactly like the diamond that Wen Zhi brought.

However, Lu Chengshan has worked in the diamond industry for so many years that he is already familiar with diamonds and can tell the real from the fake with just one glance.

At this moment, in his eyes, this "diamond" was just a fake diamond that could not be more fake.

It's a zircon, not Wen Zhi's diamond at all!

But Lu Chengshan has been in this business for so many years and has become very shrewd. He knows that there is something fishy about this matter.

He looked up and smiled at Xue Qiu, but did not tell the truth.

"Mrs. Wen, you said that this diamond was given to you by Wen Zhi. Is that true?"

Xue Qiu saw him asking and thought he was thinking about buying it, but was just worried about the authenticity of the source, so she didn't feel strange at all and replied confidently: "Mr. Lu, of course this is real. You have seen the diamond Wen Zhi gave you, and it is exactly the same as this one. You can tell at a glance that this is Wen Zhi's diamond."

"If you want diamonds, I can sell them to you at the original price you bought them from Wen Zhi, one million each."

Lu Chengshan looked at Xue Qiu's confident appearance, then looked at the fake diamond, and heard the price she mentioned. He almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

He tried hard to hold back his laughter, and his face turned dark.

"Mrs. Wen, at this price, and with so many diamonds, I may need to think about it carefully."

He pushed the diamond back and his face turned a little purple from trying to hold back his laughter.

Xue Qiu looked at Lu Chengshan's serious face and thought that he wanted it, but due to the price and quantity, he couldn't take so much at once.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Lu Chengshan looked at her face and couldn't hold it back any longer. He quickly said to Xu Yongqi outside, "Yongqi, send Madam Wen off."

He looked at Xue Qiu again and said, "I need to have a meeting with someone right now to make a decision. Please go back first."

Xue Qiu understood and smiled, "Okay, I'll go first then."

But my heart was full of anticipation, and I felt that this was almost certain.

Xue Qiu held her chin high and walked away proudly in her high heels.

Lu Chengshan stood by the window and watched her leave the villa completely, then he laughed out loud.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

He laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.

After laughing to the end, he called Wen Zhi.

"Wen Zhi, haha, don't say anything yet, I want to tell you something first."

The laughter continued.

"That Xue Qiu is really sick. She brought a bunch of fake diamonds and said she wanted to sell me one for a million. I haven't even paid such a high price for diamonds from you. How could she be so embarrassed?"

"Hahaha, I almost couldn't help laughing out loud when I heard what she said."

Lu Chengshan suddenly remembered what Xue Qiu had told him about Wen Zhi. He stopped laughing and became serious.

"Wen Zhi, let me tell you, Xue Qiu is also sick. She told me that you were with that yellow-haired guy, got pregnant before marriage, and contracted a disease. She insisted on severing ties with them, saying that you should compensate them with the diamonds as a way of repaying their kindness in raising you."

Wen Zhi, who was originally listening to Lu Chengshan quietly, could no longer hold back after hearing these words.

"She is talking nonsense and spreading rumors!"
