Chapter 11: Donning Hundred‑Billion Jewels, Infuriating the Scumbag

Song Huan Yan was stunned.

Tang Chenge freaked out, "Whoa, is it real? Let me see!"

Tang Chenge snatched it and looked, eyes instantly widening, "Damn! The Star River Dream worth a hundred billion! Nan Gong Yu really is damn rich! No wonder he's the man who controls one‑third of global wealth! No way, I want to sleep with him!"

Song Huan Yan, "...."

Sang Wan, "...."

Song Huan Yan was also slightly surprised, glanced up, and was astonished as well—no wonder it's the Star River Dream.

Beautiful, a breathtakingly gorgeous sight, hits straight to the heart.

The reason the Star River Dream is so pricey is not only because of the jewel's intrinsic value, but also because its historical value is impressive.

Royal jewels from the European Renaissance of the last century were worn by empresses and princesses.

After several generations of historical change, when the royalty declined the pieces passed to the public, were auctioned several times, and changed hands among many famous wealthy people.

The royalty originally intended to reclaim them, but felt they symbolized a decline, so they gave up and treated them as civilian treasures.

The previous owner was the world's third on Forbes, but apparently went bankrupt, so it resurfaced at auction.

So it was bought by Nan Gong Yu?

Yet even with its intrinsic and historical value, it doesn't actually reach that amount.

It's just that this kind of auction has a rule: you can take it outright at the ceiling price, without on‑site bidding.

Recently international news reported that the Star River Dream was snapped up by a mysterious billionaire for as much as a hundred billion.

Sang Wan also complained to the two, saying which big jerk wouldn't bid and just take it at the top price—how stupid.

Unexpectedly...

The three were oddly silent for several seconds.

Sang Wan said, "Damn, Yan Yan, Nan Gong Yu wouldn't have bought it just for your birthday, would he?"

Tang Chenge immediately said, "Looks like it! Whoa, he's got a crush on Yan Yan, huh?"

Song Huan Yan hurriedly said, "Stop. Don't overthink, don't be infatuated. It's not as you think; we only said one sentence."

The two widened their eyes, "Huh?"

Song Huan Yan said, "It was probably a casual purchase, a casual gift."

Sang Wan and Tang Chenge scratched their heads; according to Song Huan Yan, Nan Gong Yu was completely aloof throughout, showing no emotional ripples at all.

So that seems possible?

Hundred billion is a hefty sum, but for Nan Gong Yu it's just a trifle.

A casual purchase, a casual gift, he wouldn't mind.

Tang Chenge shrugged, "Maybe. But the Star River Dream is really beautiful! And it truly suits you!"

Tang Chenge placed the necklace on Song Huan Yan's neck; the Star River Dream shimmered, the gems, refined by time, radiated flowing light, beautiful beyond words.

In an instant, it wiped out the tens of millions to billions worth of jewelry on Song Huan Yan, leaving nothing but scraps...

The jewelry from that era was mostly ornate, complex, luxurious, a bit ostentatious, but compared to modern pieces, the difference is stark.

Moreover, it's a multicolored gem; the color scheme needs no comment—just one word: beautiful!

Tang Chenge exclaimed it's super gorgeous and suggested just putting it on right away, so at the banquet it would outshine everyone.

Today is Song Huan Yan's birthday, the occasion fits perfectly and isn't awkward.

Nan Gong Yu already gave it, so wearing it directly would, first, give Nan Gong Yu face, and second… that Qin Zha Nan would see it and literally spit blood on the spot!

His hated girlfriend gets birthday gifts worth a hundred billion; just thinking about it is so satisfying!

Song Huan Yan replied, "No. It's not like you just put it on as soon as you receive it, as if you're impatient. This kind of jewel is better kept properly."

Earlier her mother mentioned a marriage alliance; she decided to first meet the Leng Family, Nan Gong Yu wasn't even in her top considerations, so wearing it directly would be awkward later.

Sang Wan blinked, "Don't you think it's too valuable? Should you return it to him?"

Song Huan Yan thought, "No need. I think I can still afford this gift."

But putting it on immediately would be rude, unless she has already decided to marry Nan Gong Yu, then it's okay.

Tang Chenge said, "Exactly! You must be able to afford it. Moreover, this is all Kyoto, Yan Yan is the most fitting! If others wear it, they'd be eclipsed."

Tang Chenge's words are true; with this multicolored jewel, anyone with even slightly imperfect skin, not pale enough, can't pull it off.

This is meant for a blond‑haired, blue‑eyed white person to wear.

Sang Wan nodded, "Hmm, indeed. Let's keep it for now."

Tang Chenge quickly put it into his big bag and patted it.

Song Huan Yan couldn't help but smile.

Sang Wan whispered to the two, "Didn't Nan Gong Yu have a marriage alliance with Leng Bai Wei? They were together for a while; during that time, Leng Bai Wei was on a roll, bragging to everyone…"

Song Huan Yan shook her head, "I don't know."

The Qin family members who were thrown out of the hotel were shouting at the door, and Li Peilan called Qin Zi Mo directly to ask what's happening.

She also told Qin Zi Mo that Song Huan Yan was extremely rude to them, ordering them to be thrown out.

She said Song Huan Yan dressed lavishly, with bodyguards, flaunting as if she were a Song Family Heiress worth a fortune.

She also asked what a Song Family Heiress is.

"Is it okay to call any woman a 'Heiress'?"

"Their Qin Jiao Jiao is also a Qin Family Heiress!"

Qin Zi Mo felt short of breath upon hearing that.

Qin Jiao Jiao also shouted, saying Song Huan Yan used his money to flaunt, pretending to be a rich white beauty, trying to fish for rich men at today's lavish banquet!

She also said that the person who entered the hotel with Song Huan Yan was the owner of Nangong Hotel, and Song Huan Yan must have wanted to flirt with him, so she forced a single‑rich‑girl persona in the lobby.

Qin Zi Mo, his head hurting from the noise, said, "Stop spouting nonsense! Yan Yan only loves me! I'm coming right away."

He parked the car, Qin Zi Mo hurried toward the hotel, and the Qin Family members, seeing him, also rushed forward.

Li Peilan, eyes reddened, said, "Zi Mo, what on earth is happening? What's wrong with that woman? On the Engagement day she said break up; isn't that an insult to our whole family! Bring her out right now and set things straight; she must apologize properly to us!"

Qin Jiao Jiao shouted even louder, "Brother, Song Huan Yan is too much; she even had you have her hired bodyguard beat me. Look at my face… Wuwuwu, I don't care, I'll get revenge, I'll give her a hard slap!"

"Shut up!" Qin Zi Mo snapped. "Yan Yan is the Song Family's only daughter! The Song Family with assets of a hundred billion! She is a Billionaire Heiress! You must apologize to her properly!"

His words frightened the whole family.

Qin Zi Mo, after venting his temper, lifted his foot and left.

Li Peilan grabbed him, utterly incredulous, "Son, what did you say?"

Qin Jiao Jiao stared wide‑eyed, "Brother, are you crazy too? Even if you're just trying to boost your image and status, you don't have to collude with her and fabricate that she's some Billionaire Heiress, right? Is it necessary to give her such a big face?"
