Uncle Deng hung up the phone and entered the jewelry room, where he looked left and right amidst the dazzling array of jewelry, but all the pieces that caught his eye were too dignified.
They would look generous and appropriate on Mrs. Wen, but if Miss Yun were to wear them, it would be clear without thinking that they would appear outdated.
He searched the entire jewelry room but couldn't find a suitable necklace.
Not until his gaze fell on the necklace that Assistant Zheng had brought over the day before.
It was clear and brilliant, vibrant and full of life.
Looking around the whole jewelry room, only this necklace met the requirements.
Zhao Qin's urgent messages kept coming on his phone, making it seem like she was in quite a hurry.
After much thought, Uncle Deng finally took the necklace down.
He felt somewhat uneasy.
Since it was to be given to Miss Yun anyway, using it ahead of time, Young Master Wen would probably not get angry, right?
After all, this was an emergency for Miss Yun.
Miss Yun might even be happy about it.
And...
Uncle Deng remembered the figures intertwined that night.
Young Master Wen really likes Miss Yun, doesn't he?
The tolerance for a beloved one should be far higher than for others, right?
In such an urgent situation, there was no other choice.
Actually, it could be considered a meritorious deed.
Thinking this, Uncle Deng took the necklace to the ballroom.
Zhao Qin took the jewelry box from him, pressed the switch, and as the clasp sprang open gently and the light from the necklace reflected on her face, she expressed slight surprise, "When did I have such a necklace?"
Uncle Deng glanced at Yun Yuwan, "Young Master Wen bought it a few days ago, especially for Miss Yun."
Yun Yuwan's ears began to burn.
Luckily, Zhao Qin didn't think much about it, "That's right, having not seen each other for years, he should indeed welcome you home with a gift."
Yun Yuwan and Uncle Deng exchanged glances; Yun Yuwan felt somewhat nervous, but Uncle Deng just smiled, sharing an unspoken understanding.
This was intended for Mr. Wen Yangzhi's beloved lady.
She really didn't expect Wen Yangzhi to let Uncle Deng know about it too.
And to take out the necklace ahead of time.
Seeing her completely unopposed, Uncle Deng understood that it was a done deal.
It was indeed for Miss Yun.
The one he fancied was indeed Miss Yun.
Yun Yuwan looked at the necklace, feeling as though it was a brand, which, upon wearing, would declare her as Wen Yangzhi's woman.
Maybe others didn't understand, but she knew it in her heart.
Uncle Deng still respected her wishes, "Will you wear it now? If it's not suitable, I'll go out immediately to get a suitable one."
"Since it's from Yangzhi, why shouldn't I wear it?" Zhao Qin, oblivious to any issue, reached out to remove the necklace Yun Yuwan was originally wearing.
Yun Yuwan's neck felt bare.
Zhao Qin handed the necklace to Uncle Deng, took out the Colombian Emerald necklace from the box, and placed it around Yun Yuwan's neck, its cold touch very present.
Yun Yuwan felt a throbbing within.
She looked down at the necklace, shining brilliantly.
He had bought it back.
She really wore it.
Zhao Qin said satisfactorily, "Such jewelry truly commands the scene, how suitable it is."
Uncle Deng and Yun Yuwan knew well but said not a word more.
Even though Yun Yuwan's palms were sweating.
The ball began, and many people noticed Yun Yuwan.
A girl as strikingly beautiful as her wearing a famously acclaimed necklace sure caught everyone's attention.
People whispered, "Isn't this the first prize piece from the design competition? I couldn't outbid it, it turns out she bought it, and it really is beautiful in person."
Another person mockingly said, "Buy it? A fake princess will never become a real princess. Was it bought by her or by Aunt Qin, can't you guess?"
The person hummed long, "That makes sense."
"Since she's not a real princess, then it must be Aunt Qin's, let's see if she can borrow it to wear a second time."
"No wonder the bid was so unreserved; it turns out to be Aunt Qin."
Wen Yangzhi wasn't present and had only entrusted the auction house staff to bid on his behalf.
As a result, no one knew who had won the necklace, and now everyone thought it was Zhao Qin.
Just when everyone was whispering and mocking this fake princess.
Yun Yuwan noticed their gazes and naturally assumed it was because she was so beautiful today that they couldn't help but stare at her.
After all, everyone who had talked to her just now had complimented her on her beauty.
Yun Yuwan was always very friendly to people.
Seeing this group looking at her, she of course didn't think they were discussing anything bad; she bid farewell to the person she was talking to and walked over.
One of them caught a glimpse of the center of their topic approaching and couldn't help but whisper in astonishment, "Oh crap, why is she coming over?"
Everyone looked over.
Yun Yuwan, graceful and delicate, her skirt's feathery fringes waving like smoke in the wind, stopped in front of them and picked up a glass of champagne:
"Hello, I am Yun Yuwan, the Yun Yuwan of Yungui Mountain, my English name is Camilla, and my classmates during my studies abroad all called me Millie."
The necklace around her neck highlighted her radiant and flourishing beauty, making it seem as though it had come to life.
She was like a butterfly carp, with a long and gentle fish tail, her skin smooth and fair, shimmering like silk under the lights, a dazzling and soft radiance floating dreamily, the necklace on her delicate white neck perfectly complementing it.
Caught speaking ill right to their faces, the group felt a strange sense of being busted.
One of them couldn't maintain their composure, and while it was awkward since the other side was so sincere and warm, they also picked up a champagne to clink glasses with her: "Hello, I am Zhou Ling, Ling as in gazelle, your name is truly beautiful."
Yun Yuwan sincerely praised, "So is yours; it sounds like a sprite."
Yun Yuwan smiled sincerely and openly, which made the people across her even warm up to her a bit.
This fake princess… how can she be so friendly?
Only a girl with a tear mole under her eye silently sneered.
What little tricks.
The noise was loud downstairs.
But the upstairs inner room was quiet.
Jiang Jianqing teased intentionally, "Do you know why my mom invited your sister over this time?"
"Why?" Wen Yangzhi spoke indifferently.
"Have you forgotten?" Jiang Jianqing hinted, "I have a very promising and single younger brother."
Wen Yangzhi's hand, pouring tea, paused briefly.
Jiang Jianqing, oblivious, continued, "My mom says the Wen Family knows how to raise sons, so probably the daughters aren't bad either. She also said—"
However, Wen Yangzhi interrupted him, "How old is your brother?"
Jiang Jianqing was a bit surprised but answered, "Twenty-three."
Wen Yangzhi lowered his eyelids, his voice cold, "Too young, not suitable."
Jiang Jianqing stood up to open the window, "Isn't he the same age as your sister? Are you worried he's too young and not stable?"
However, as soon as the window opened, Jiang Jianqing noticed something and chuckled lightly:
"Yangzhi, your sister."
Wen Yangzhi slightly shifted his gaze downward, looking through the rustic wooden window, he saw Yun Yuwan dressed in a white evening gown surrounded by people, but looking upwards, she was wearing a necklace of emeralds that shouldn't have appeared here.
Wen Yangzhi's eyes deepened.
How did it end up on her?
"That necklace?" Uncle Deng, who had been quietly by his side, exclaimed in shock, "Director Wen, I handed the necklace to Uncle Deng; I don't know how it got to Miss Yun."
Jiang Jianqing realized, "Is this the one you bought a few days ago to give to someone?"
A necklace that had been worn publicly couldn't be given away.
This unique necklace was specifically bought by Wen Yangzhi, and Zhou Xing had specifically mentioned that he liked it.
Jiang Jianqing and Uncle Deng both turned to Wen Yangzhi.
But his face remained unreadably dark and cool, his lips slightly curved, "Ask Yun Yuwan to come up."
Uncle Deng knew that this self-imposed Miss Yun was in for it now.
How could she presume so much and wear Director Wen's necklace without permission, a necklace he had said was for an important lady!
When Uncle Deng went downstairs to Yun Yuwan, people were still praising her necklace.
Uncle Deng found her more and more annoying:
"Director Wen asked you to come up."
Yun Yuwan looked somewhat surprised, "Director Wen?"
