Counterfeits

Chen Shuqi had thought it all through before opening the box.

Even if Qin Mo really is a doctor, he's nothing more than a lowly laborer.

The gifts he bought, no matter how expensive, were only worth tens of thousands of yuan, which was not considered high-class at all.

So she held the box high, opened it, and showed it to everyone, already prepared to be laughed at.

Uncle Su and Aunt Su didn't stop them. If Qin Mo lost face, Su Wanxing would lose face too, and they were happy to see it happen.

However, when the box was opened, instead of laughter, someone exclaimed in surprise.

Even Su Wanxing couldn't help but turn her head sharply to look at Qin Mo when she saw what was in the box.

Not getting the image she wanted, Chen Shuqi was momentarily embarrassed: "What's wrong? Is the food so bad that nobody can look at it?"

Qin Mo was the calmest. He glanced at the contents of the box and commented, "It's actually not bad."

Aunt Su's face stiffened. She quickly pulled her aside and whispered, "Put your hand down..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuqi put the box down and, unwilling to give up, looked inside.

That one glance almost blinded her.

Although it was night, the courtyard was lit up, making the contents of the box even more dazzling.

It was a diamond necklace set with sixteen small diamonds of about five carats each, and a large diamond of about ten carats in the center, which was cut into the shape of a heart.

Illuminated by the lights, the firelight was dazzling and colorful.

Regardless of the design of this necklace, the seventeen diamonds alone are worth over a million.

Not to mention, someone has already revealed the origin of this necklace.

"Isn't this the necklace that was just auctioned off at the Tianbao Auction last night?"

"Yes! I remember, this necklace is called 'Pure Heart,' right?"

"This is the final piece by the renowned jewelry designer Els!"

"I remember the final transaction price was around six million seven hundred thousand."

These words were like slaps to Chen Shuqi's face, making her almost drop her necklace.

A necklace worth six million is nothing to the Su family.

But her words just now were all belittling Qin Mo's gift, which is different.

Even if she really wanted to put Qin Mo down, she couldn't do it openly in front of so many people.

Now her face was burning with pain!

Even Uncle Su and Aunt Su didn't look too good.

They were clearly trying to belittle Qin Mo and force Su Wanxing to lose face, but now they're the ones who are losing face!

Su Wanxing was also somewhat surprised.

The necklace was dazzling and, though not expensive to her, it instantly made her stand up straight.

She turned to look at Qin Mo again, a hint of a smile in her eyes: "Thank you, that's kind of you."

Qin Mo replied in a low voice, "You're too kind. We agreed to cooperate, this is what I should do."

Su Wanxing smiled slightly, quite satisfied: "Cousin, you've seen the gift, shouldn't you give it back to me now?"

Amidst the mocking gazes of the crowd, Chen Shuqi finally understood what it meant to lift a rock only to drop it on one's own foot.

She glared at Qin Mo through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with resentment.

But it was already embarrassing enough, so Aunt Su quickly gave her a wink, signaling her not to cause any more trouble.

She was unwilling, but she could only obediently return the necklace, forcing a dry smile: "Hehe, I almost forgot. Congratulations, cousin, on finding such a 'good' husband."

Su Wanxing remained expressionless: "Thank you."

The commotion at the dinner party finally came to a complete end here.

Because of the previous incident, Uncle Su, Aunt Su, and Chen Shuqi were too ashamed to stay any longer, so they made an excuse to leave halfway through.

The scene that Qin Mo was expected to be ridiculed and isolated by everyone did not occur. Instead, because of his superb medical skills, many people came to talk to him.

Several people even wanted his business card so he could help them get medical checkups for their family members.

If Su Wanxing hadn't come and dragged him away, Qin Mo wouldn't have had a moment's rest all night.

Of the remaining people, only two were unhappy: Shen Biqin and Zhao Ke'er.

Around 11 o'clock, Su Wanxing finally saw off all the remaining guests.

Qin Mo was about to return to the hotel when Su Wanxing stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

Qin Mo turned to look at her: "What's wrong? Is there something you haven't finished?"

Su Wanxing shook her head and smiled.

Her appearance was rather aloof, and under the moonlight, she looked even more ethereal.

"Thank you so much for tonight. I really wouldn't know how to handle this without you."

Su Dingshan can help her, but not for a lifetime.

If she wants to control the Su family business in the future, she'll have to rely on herself.

Qin Mo's appearance tonight was undoubtedly a great help to her.

Several old-fashioned people who had been treated by Qin Mo all spoke highly of the "son-in-law" she had found.

This was completely unexpected by Su Wanxing.

"We've agreed to cooperate, so I'll definitely do my job well. No need to be so polite," Qin Mo waved his hand, indicating that he didn't mind.

"Anyway, thank you."

After Su Wanxing finished speaking, she took out the jewelry box: "Here, take this back."

Qin Mo glanced at it: "Didn't I say I'd give it to you? Why are you giving it back to me?"

"Alright, there are no outsiders here, you don't need to do this." Su Wanxing smiled. "But you're quite clever. I didn't even tell you about the gift, and you already knew to prepare in advance."

"This necklace...you made a fake of it, didn't you?"

"I have to say, the pyrotechnic display was quite impressive. Luckily it was at night, and held in the courtyard, so the lighting wasn't good."

"Otherwise, it's quite possible that we'll be exposed."

fake?

Qin Mo paused for a moment, then took the necklace and glanced at it.

The couple who had been seen earlier were dressed quite well, so Qin Mo figured the gifts they gave must be of good quality.

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be fake?

"Alright, I'll accept it then, and return it to its rightful owner later."

Qin Mo did not explain where the item came from, and readily accepted it.

Su Wanxing didn't say much.

She had just checked, and the Pure Heart bracelet was indeed auctioned off last night.

However, the buyer was not Qin Mo, and he couldn't possibly afford it.

The buyer has a special and valuable identity, and the Su family may need to deal with them again when they develop new businesses.

It was Yang Tianrui, the director of the Xichuan Garrison Command.

According to inside sources, he bought the necklace as a gift for his sister.

The Yang family was a distinguished family, with three generations having served on the battlefield.

Yang Tianrui only has this one younger sister. She had an accident in her early years, which made him love her even more.

How could the necklace that was given to my sister end up in Qin Mo's hands?

Su Wanxing doesn't lack a necklace; Qin Mo has already given her what she wanted.

Even a fake necklace made her happy.

However, Shen Biqin had been secretly monitoring the situation. Upon hearing that the necklace was fake, she angrily cursed, "I knew this bastard couldn't possibly afford a six-million-dollar necklace! It's fake!"

She gritted her teeth: "Zhao Ke'er is really something, she couldn't even handle such a small matter properly, so we had to send him."

"No, I have to find a way to get this kid away..."
