Chapter 130: Love Gemstone

Inside the banquet hall, Gu Xin pushed Jin Shaoyu to stand beside the crystal fountain. Jin Shaoyu sat in his wheelchair, looking toward Ling Wu. Watching the harmonious atmosphere and the faint smile around him, he felt a bit empty inside.

He said, "Let's go."

Then, a sharp and mean voice rang out by his ear: "Shao Yu, your leg hasn't healed yet, has it? As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone or tendon injury; you should be lying properly in a hospital bed so that you can recover quickly."

Xiao Yu was wearing high heels, and because Jin Shaoyu was sitting, she appeared a head taller than him. She felt an inexplicable sense of triumph.

Jin Shaoyu turned the handrims installed on both sides of the wheelchair. The wheelchair moved forward, ruthlessly rolling over Xiao Yu's feet. He said coldly, "A good dog doesn't block the path."

Gu Xin made an "Oh" sound with his mouth, unable to suppress the curve of his lips.

Tsk tsk tsk... it looked painful just watching. He hurriedly pushed Jin Shaoyu away, leaving Xiao Yu behind in a fit of rage, wanting to scream from the pain but unable to do so because of her pride.

Where is Jin Shaoyu's upbringing?

Gone into a dog's belly?

A bitch is a bitch!

Jin Yunchu stood on the balcony on the second floor of the banquet hall, taking in the scene of the magnificent banquet hall. Her neatly coiled hair revealed a smooth forehead, and the skin on her neck and shoulders was illuminated by the brilliant lights.

Her gaze first passed over Gu Xin's back, moved to Xiao Yu's slightly distorted face, and saw Jin Bei walk into the corridor on the right side of the banquet hall...

Jin Yunchu put down her wine glass and went downstairs.

Inside the banquet hall, Yu Tingyun returned after taking a stroll and found that Yu Shixue was still standing there chatting with Ling Wu. The two of them hadn't even moved from their spots, which he found quite peculiar.

After Bai Yimo finished talking with a CEO in the business world, she saw Bai Yinan waving at her pitifully. She lifted her skirt and walked toward him with a graceful sway, her every gesture possessing a heart-shaking magnificence: "What's wrong?"

Attending such a grand banquet, noble families value their reputation strictly. Bai Yinan had always been accustomed to doing as he pleased, open-minded and unrestrained. He did not attend unless necessary, and if he did, he always acted according to Bai Yimo's mood.

"Sister, the person I like is over there. Can I go over and talk to him?"

Bai Yimo looked in that direction and was somewhat surprised.

She then noticed Yu Shixue standing with Ling Wu. Yu Shixue himself also came from a top noble family, known for being decisive and ruthless. The person involved is confused while the bystander sees clearly; could it be that Bai Yimo actually saw a hint of tenderness in his eyes when he looked at Ling Wu?

Bai Yimo's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had caught a whiff of something unusual between Yu Shixue and Ling Wu.

She came back to her senses, then looked at Bai Yinan with a strange expression: "The person you like... is the Eldest Young Master of the Jin Family?"

"Mm-hmm." Bai Yinan nodded.

"It's not that your sister wants to discourage you, but family background, appearance, education... which of these do you have that makes you worthy of him?" Seeing Bai Yinan purse his lips, Bai Yimo was silent for a long while, then said solemnly: "If you want to be with him, our Bai Family can only offer a dowry and have you marry into his family."

Bai Yimo thought she could dispel Bai Yinan's idea, only to hear her younger brother say happily: "That's fine, marrying into his family is good!"

Bai Yimo's mood was complex: "..."

She just wanted to scold him.

A child who cannot be taught!

Rotten wood that cannot be carved!

Bai Yinan whispered to her in a rush: "Sister, wouldn't everyone be happy this way? I go and marry into the family for the alliance, and you won't have to do things you hate anymore. You can take over the family as a matter of course. Anyway, I'm not cut out for this, and you've been better than me since we were kids."

Bai Yimo gazed at him, saying neither "yes" nor "no." The emotion in her eyes was profound, yet carried a hint of helplessness: "Do what you like."

She looked up at the grand and luxurious banquet, magnificent and opulent, like a golden cage of desire, trapping everyone who came to chase fame and fortune, unable to control their own coming and going.

So she picked up her wine glass again and walked into the vanity fair with composure.

There was a table in the banquet hall specifically for storing gifts, but Bai Yinan wanted to hand his gift to Ling Wu personally. He held the exquisite gift box in his palm, sweating slightly.

Yu Shixue was the last to place his gift box into Ling Wu's hands, his habitually cold and lazy voice carrying sincere blessings: "Ling Wu, happy birthday."

"Mm."

Ling Wu took the gift box. Before he could even open it to look, Bai Yinan burst into his line of sight. He was dressed in a sunny and handsome way, handing over his gift box: "Ling Wu, please accept my gift."

Yu Shixue saw that Ling Wu also accepted Bai Yinan's gift.

Then Bai Yinan said expectantly: "Aren't you going to open it and see? This is a gift I carefully selected for a long time."

Hearing his words, Ling Wu untied the ribbon on the gift box. Inside the box lay a beautiful pink crystal, emitting a charming glow.

"Thank you for the gift, it's very beautiful, I like it very much."

Bai Yinan smiled shyly, hoping he could see the deep meaning behind this gift: "As long as you like it."

Ling Wu didn't know if he saw the deep meaning, but Yu Shixue did. His eyes were a bit dangerous, his cold, heavy gaze falling on Bai Yinan's face.

Sima Zhao's heart is known to all.

The other name for pink crystal is rose quartz; it has a delicate texture and a glass-like luster. It is a famous love gemstone, symbolizing sweet and beautiful affection.

Legend has it that the tears of the goddess of love, Aphrodite, turned into pink crystal, endowing it with magic regarding love. Giving pink crystal as a gift to someone you like is like telling them of that pure, shy affection in your heart.
