A Beijing socialite stole my boyfriend; she went crazy after I got married.

Assistant Wang was deeply shocked.

He's been with the boss for over ten years; what storms hasn't he weathered?

...I'm sorry, I've never seen this before.

Let alone a stranger he had only met a few hours ago, Xie Jing had never been so attentive to Xie family relatives and the eldest daughter.

Even Xie Qingyang's jewelry, he wouldn't interfere with. From childhood to adulthood, he had always given her money and let her manage it herself.

Assistant Wang: "Yes."

As he took notes on his tablet, he quickly glanced at his boss's still expressionless profile.

Xie Jing added, "Those antique items in the vault are too heavy and too conspicuous; they don't suit her age, so there's no need to take them out and cause trouble."

Assistant Wang continued to agree, his mind already quickly filtering out several century-old workshops known for their cutting techniques and modern, dynamic high-precision line designs.

I also added a note to the memo: invite the brand's in-store designer as well.

The boss only needs to look at the stones; the rest will be handled by professionals.

"There's one more thing..."

Xie Jing turned his head and gave a few more instructions.

Assistant Wang listened silently.

Xie Jing's voice returned to its usual calm when handling official business, only when he looked at the documents on the low table.

"We will send an additional security assessment team there to focus on investigating the flow of funds behind the community protests."

Assistant Wang nodded solemnly.

They got back to work.

-

Jiang Chu returned to the guest room on the second floor, locked the door, and leaned against the cold door panel, her heart still pounding uncontrollably.

A subtle tingling sensation still lingered on the part of my earlobe that had been touched.

She went to the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and found her cheeks were frighteningly red.

Jiang Chu silently covered her face.

She bears a striking resemblance to the original owner of this body, and has been beautiful since childhood. In matters of love, it has always been others who take the initiative to make advances.

She has never tried to seduce anyone.

She quickly washed up and lay in bed trying to review what had happened that night, but the more she thought about it, the sleepier she became and soon drifted off to sleep.

The next morning.

The morning sun shone through the gaps in the curtains, casting a golden ribbon of light onto the dark carpet.

Jiang Chu woke up feeling refreshed. From the clothes cart from yesterday, she found a white shirt with thin blue stripes, a pair of light blue slim-fit straight-leg jeans, and changed into a pair of white sneakers.

She stood in front of the mirror, tying her thick, black hair up high, revealing her smooth forehead and graceful swan neck.

The girl in the mirror had bright eyes, healthy-looking skin, and radiated youthful energy.

She looked around with satisfaction, took a deep breath, opened the door, and went out.

Breakfast was already prepared in the restaurant downstairs.

A bowl of wontons in chili oil floats in the broth, with thin wrappers and tender fillings, sprinkled with scallions, cilantro, and crunchy peanut crumbs.

It comes with a side dish of cold chicken feet, which are tangy and fragrant, and spicy but not overly so.

There's also a small portion of refreshing cold bamboo shoot salad, which is crisp, tender, refreshing, and appetizing.

A basket of exquisite steamed vermicelli dumplings, with soft and chewy wrappers and a filling of spicy mushroom and meat broth.

In addition, a bowl of warm millet porridge was prepared to balance the flavor, along with a plate of refreshing pickled radish cubes, and a pot of warm sweet corn juice and fresh milk.

Jiang Chu: "..."

These are all her favorite foods!

Apart from the fact that the quantity was a bit too much, everything was perfect!

Jiang Chu began to inhale rapidly.

When she heard steady footsteps coming from the stairs, she had almost finished eating and quickly picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth.

Xie Jing came downstairs.

Having shed the black formal suit he wore last night, he changed into a dark blue patterned silk blend shirt today.

The fabric was extremely crisp, and without the restraint of a tie, the top two buttons of the collar were casually undone, revealing a hint of a cool and straight collarbone.

His sleeves were rolled up, revealing his strong and slender forearms.

Even in relatively casual attire, he exudes an air of noble elegance that is impossible to look away from.

Jiang Chu suddenly realized that they all seemed to be wearing blue.

Her gaze lingered on the man's broad shoulders for two seconds without her noticing.

"Good morning," Jiang Chu snapped out of her reverie and quickly greeted, "Mr. Xie."

Xie Jing's gaze naturally fell on her.

He looked at the girl's smooth forehead, her clear and bright eyes, and her cheeks glowing with a healthy rosy hue.

"morning."

The man nodded slightly, then tilted his head to the side.

The butler stepped forward from behind, steadily carrying a huge black velvet jewelry box in his hands.

He placed the jewelry box on the table in front of Jiang Chu and gently lifted the lid.

The morning sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, instantly illuminating the entire box with a dazzling halo of light.

The box contained a dozen ready-made haute couture pieces.

—Sapphires surrounded by clusters of tiny diamonds, perfectly cut Colombian emeralds, pink diamonds that refract amazing fire, and so on.

Each piece is so exquisitely crafted it's astonishing.

"Your earring got scratched last night."

Xie Jing's voice came from above, "Just pick any pair and wear them for now."

He didn't mention that he had instructed people last night to search for top-quality loose stones to make a custom piece just for her, which would take some time.

We'll use these readily available gadgets as a temporary solution.

Jiang Chu was stunned.

She waved her hand instinctively, "No need, no need, I still have some in my dorm..."

The original owner naturally had more than one pair of earrings.

Moreover, Jiang Chu did indeed like these expensive pieces of jewelry, but her desire to climb up to Xie Jing's coattails was not for money.

They wanted to survive.

Xie Jing took in the surprise and struggle on her face, and his lips curled up almost imperceptibly, but his tone was firm and unyielding: "Pick a pair to wear."

Jiang Chu bit her lip.

The moment he spoke like that, he exuded a sense of oppression.

"……All right."

Jiang Chu hesitated for a long time, her gaze sweeping over the dazzling large carat gemstones before reluctantly looking away.

Finally, he stretched out his finger and carefully pointed to a pair of simple, unassuming single-diamond stud earrings in the far corner.

"This one will do."

She said in a low voice.

Xie Jing glanced at the little trinket she had picked out, but didn't offer any opinion.

Jiang Chu put on the small diamond earrings, gently shook her head, and felt the cool touch against her earlobes. "Thank you."

She thanked him in a very serious manner.

Although this may not seem high-profile, Jiang Chu has no doubt about its value.

Before she could say anything more, the butler closed the box and respectfully handed her the entire jewelry box.

Jiang Chu: "?"

Xie Jing raised his chin. "Take them all. Use them to trade and have fun."

Jiang Chu: "…………"
