Chapter 810 Black Diamond
Unedited
Growing up, Rafa had always known that he was shorter than average people that he knew. He was shorter than Leandro’s six-foot frame or Levi’s who is a little taller than Leandro.
Originally, he was not really insecure because of his height, however, his fiance... is actually a model who is very much taller than him! A woman who is already standing at five foot nine without her heels made him look like a fucking midget when they attend events! Slowly, this issue had become one of his insecurities.
However, tonight this insecurity once again had become the reason why he found someone really irritating. To him, most Asians are really short, or at least not as tall as Zhou Jingren. Of course, in his mind, it was alright for Qin Yuanfeng to be almost as tall as Zhou Jingren, after all his mother is someone from the west.
Zhou Jingren on the other hand was a different story. First and foremost, he is a full-blooded Asian! How the hell was he able to become even taller than both Leandro and Harringfort, who was about six one?
What he hated the most was the fact that most people are looking their way! This would emphasize the fact that he was actually the shortest in this group! This immediately made him uncomfortable, and of course irritated that he was even shorter than an Asian man!
Meanwhile, the man beside him also had other stuff going on in his mind. Harringfort was staring at the ring in Lily’s hand that was laid on top of Zhou Jingren’s chest. "Isn’t this... a black diamond?" he asked. The ring... this ring is very familiar. He was sure that he already saw this ring before.
"Black diamonds are not really expensive." Rafa chimed in.
"What do you mean?" Harringfort asked, frowning. He immediately wondered if the Grandson of Lord Neeson was actually a dumb man who is only using his family name as a mere decoration.
"I mean... they might be rare, but they are not as expensive as Blue diamonds."
Irritated, Harringfort glared at Rafa. "The prices of diamonds are based on the intensity of their color, size, and clarity." He then eyed Lily, hoping to earn a simple nod from her. "This ring... is really beautiful. As expected of someone who is on top of the food chain. Surely, Madam Zhou would not choose something that had a lower value than that of a blue diamond." The ring on Lily’s right hand was obviously big, bigger than the previous black diamonds that he saw. He was also certain that this is a natural black diamond and not something that was man made.
With this in mind, Harringfort immediately made sure to praise Lily. "I heard that Madam Zhou had a vast collection of jewelry. I am sure that all of them are exquisite and expensive. However, may I know your favorites?"
"Favorites?" Lily had a mysterious gleam in her eyes. First and foremost... She loves everything that sparkles. "This.." She held her left hand in front of them. "My engagement ring." It was the blue diamond that was next to their wedding band.
Zhou Jingren gave this diamond on their engagement day, and Lily had always worn such things during special events. She found the ring too exquisite and beautiful to be worn in her office. Of course, she already asked Zhou Jingren’s permission to do this.
As expected, it surprised both Harringfort and Rafa to see the blue diamond ring on Lily’s other hand. "That looks exquisite." Harringfort pretended to be amused by the sight of the diamond. "Mr. Zhou sure knows how to pick his diamonds." He said. "How about that black diamond? I was... I think I already saw that diamond before."
"This is..."
"The Spirit of De Grisogono." Zhou Jingren interrupted his wife. "I picked it especially for her. It matches with the outfit."
"Really?" Eliza who was talking to her siblings approached them when she heard Zhou Jingren’s words. She immediately held Lily’s right hand and stared at the jewelry with an enormous stone. "Isn’t that the second-largest diamond ever found? I mean... that..." When she saw the huge diamond ring that comes with the outfit, she initially thought that it was funny.
Why would Zhou Jingren want his wife to wear a ring like that? However, now... Eliza completely understood Zhou Jingren’s purpose. It was to show off his affection to his wife. She eyed the stone that sparkled against the chandelier on top of them. Today, the stone is sitting in a thirty-plus carat ring in the middle of over seven hundred diamonds.
The Value of such a ring is just... it could even be more expensive than everyone’s jewelry in this room. "This looks wonderful!" she said.
"And... how did you manage to get such a ring?" Rafa could not stop himself from asking. How could someone like Zhou Jingren access a stone that was made in Switzerland? Isn’t this one of the most sought after pieces made by a famous swiss jeweler? Not even his grandfather who was known in the business industry could have such item. "Are you sure it’s real?" he asked, unable to hide the disgust in his tone.
This stone could be considered a piece of art because of its rarity. He knew that this was found in Central Africa but after that, it seemed to vanish and would only show itself after it was carved and placed on the ring that Lily was wearing now. So how could someone like Zhou Jingren have accessed such priced possession?
"Everything has a price, Mr. Neeson." Zhou Jingren gave the man a meaningful glance before his gaze shifted towards Harringfort. "It was actually easy to get something that you really want. Especially if you wanted to give it to the most important person in your life." He smiled.
"You didn’t answer my question, Mr. Zhou. If this is not the real thing, I’m afraid I would report you to the authorities." Rafa said. It was as if he forgot the warnings of his grandfather and cousin. Inside, he was already thinking of how to embarrass Zhou Jingren in front of everyone.
