Chapter 290: Seeing but Not Owning (3)
The counter manager immediately perked up and hurried off to get them.
When he returned with the diamond accessories, Lin Qingya’s eyes gleamed immediately.
All the styles that she had only seen in magazines were now placed before her eyes, right at her fingertips!
“Mom, what do you think of this?” Gu Chenyi picked up a diamond necklace of a certain style.
“It’s not bad, this is the latest style.” Mrs. Gu nodded
“What about this?” Gu Chenyi picked up yet another necklace.
“Pink gemstones are not bad. Your aunt is fair and pink suits her!”
“What about this?”
“Hmmm, nice.”
“What about this?”
“This is last year’s style. It’s for your aunt so it has to be good. The other one here is a new style,” Mrs. Gu said as she pointed to the one next to it.
“Uh-huh.”
“How about this?”
Gu Chenyi picked a few more out to show Mrs. Gu.
Lin Qingya thought that he had chosen some moderate ones, but the last one he picked out was the best of the lot. She was filled with envy that Mu Huan would be getting such a beautiful diamond necklace.
Then she heard…
“We’ll take all of them.”
She widened her eyes in shock!
What did Gu Chenyi just say? Take them all? He was going to buy all of that?
Was he mad?! He was buying all of that for Mu Huan?!
Didn’t he just say that they shouldn’t live extravagantly and that they shouldn’t be wasting resources? But he was buying all these extravagant gifts for Mu Huan!
Just when she thought that Mrs. Gu would stop Gu Chenyi…
She heard the woman say, “Don’t you want to pick a few more items? It’s quite miserly to be giving just these few things.”
She had never bought any gifts for this sister-in-law of hers, and so, since her son was making an apology, there’s an excuse for them to give a little more.
Lin Qingya almost spewed blood when she heard that.
They’d picked out so many, and yet it’s miserly! How much more did they want?! Did they want to sweep everything off the shelves of Cartier?
“We’re almost done looking through all that they have in this shop. The rest don’t look that good. If Mom feels it’s miserly, let’s go to Bulgari on the opposite side to have a look.”
“Why not? Bulgari has a few styles this year that really suits your tender-looking aunt.”
Lin Qingya: “…!!!”
Is this mother-and-son pair mentally handicapped or just plain stupid?
The actual wife and daughter-in-law is here right before you! And you’ve bought her only a platinum ring! But you’re buying another woman so many luxury items!
Are your brains dented?!
At this point, Gu Chenyi looked across toward Lin Qingya. She immediately looked down, trying to hide her indignation.
Hence, she did not see the icy mockery in Gu Chenyi’s eyes.
After making the purchase at Cartier, the mother-and-son pair proceeded to Bulgari and picked out a few items there as well.
Mrs. Gu was about done when she thought of her own daughter-in-law and said, “Qingya, see if there’s anything you like, okay? You can pick out a few styles.”
Lin Qingya was about to speak…
When Gu Chenyi interrupted: “Mom, we’ve picked out a few items here for Auntie and what’s left aren’t any good. Let’s not have Qingya pick from here. We’ll get better ones for her another day.”
Mrs. Gu thought that that made sense and agreed, “Alright.”
Lin Qingya: “…”
Get better ones for her another day?
Why did she feel like that day would never come?!
She wasn’t sure if Gu Chenyi was doing it on purpose today. While it didn’t look deliberate, it didn’t look completely innocent either.
But if it was done on purpose, why?
If Gu Chenyi knew that she was the real cause of his breakup with Mu Huan, he would have just rejected her outright, and he wouldn’t even have agreed to marry her. But if he wasn’t aware of this, why would he be treating her this way?
Lin Qingya could not figure this out, no matter how hard she tried.
