Chapter 114: Xia Yurou Makes an Appearance

The helicopter door opened, and a beautiful woman dressed in a flaming red evening gown stepped down gracefully.

She had a graceful figure, delicate curves, like a burning flame, instantly drawing all eyes.

Her long jet‑black hair fell over her shoulders like a waterfall, further highlighting her snow‑white skin.

Her delicate features were like a finely carved artwork, breathtakingly beautiful.

Especially those almond‑shaped eyes, their glimmer shifting, radiating brilliance and captivating the soul.

She was the general manager of Blue Light Jewelry Store, Xia Yurou.

Today she came in person solely to deliver the priceless Crystal Heart to a mysterious distinguished guest.

Xia Yurou's high heels clicked "tap‑tap," step by step, toward the jewelry store.

Each step seemed to tread on everyone's heartstrings, quickening their pulse.

She scanned the crowd, finally stopping her gaze on Jiangnan.

In that moment, a flash of astonishment flickered in her eyes.

What a remarkably handsome young man!

Xia Yurou silently praised him in her heart.

The man before her stood tall, bearing an extraordinary aura, like a crane among chickens.

Especially those deep eyes, like a vast starry sky, making one unwilling to resist sinking into them.

He exuded a unique charm that could not be ignored.

Xia Yurou had evaluated countless people, yet had never seen a man with such outstanding temperament.

A hint of curiosity rose within her.

What is this young man's background?

He even wagered a thousand gold, spending a full three hundred million just to win a beautiful woman's smile.

Xia Yurou composed herself and stepped toward Jiangnan, her face wearing a professional smile, elegant and appropriate.

"Hello, may I speak with Mr. Jiangnan?"

Her voice was soft and melodious, lilting like a yellow oriole. Jiangnan gave a slight nod, his gaze calm as water.

"I am."

Two simple words, yet they carried an undeniable authority.

Xia Yurou felt a chill in her heart.

This young man was indeed extraordinary.

She dared not delay, quickly taking a delicate gift box from her assistant's hand.

The box was made entirely of rosewood, its surface engraved with exquisite floral patterns, emitting a faint fragrance.

Xia Yurou held the box with both hands and presented it before Jiangnan.

"Mr. Jiangnan, this is the Crystal Heart you ordered; please have a look."

Jiangnan took the box and gently opened it.

A dazzling crystal lay quietly on a velvet cushion.

The crystal was heart‑shaped, crystal‑clear, its interior seeming to contain a flowing galaxy, emitting a mesmerizing glow.

A chorus of awe rose around them.

Such a perfect Crystal Heart was truly a rare treasure of the world.

Ren Yang's face grew so sullen it seemed to drip water.

He stared fixedly at the Crystal Heart, his eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

He couldn't accept that this country bumpkin had actually bought the Crystal Heart.

It was worth five hundred million—a sky‑high price!

How on earth did he manage it?

Murong Wan stood beside Jiangnan, her face beaming with a happy smile.

She gazed at Jiangnan tenderly, her eyes full of love.

She knew Jiangnan bought the Crystal Heart to give it to her.

This sentiment was more precious than any gift.

Xia Yurou watched Jiangnan quietly, her curiosity growing stronger.

She noticed that this young man seemed not to show much surprise or excitement over the priceless Crystal Heart.

His expression remained calm, as if it were just an ordinary item.

Could it be that he had seen even more precious treasures?

Xia Yurou, guessing more about Jiangnan's identity, tentatively asked:

"Mr. Jiangnan, are you satisfied with this Crystal Heart?"

Jiangnan closed the box and replied lightly.

"Not bad."

Xia Yurou gave a slight smile and continued, her voice carrying a hint of expectation.

"Mr. Jiangnan, you are our most esteemed client at Blue Light Jewelry; might we have the honor of inviting you to dinner?"

She hoped to use the chance to learn more about this mysterious young man.

Those around them, hearing this, showed envious expressions.

Being personally invited to dinner by Xia Yurou was a great honor!

Yet Jiangnan refused without hesitation.

"No need, I have other matters."

Xia Yurou was startled, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

She hadn't expected that she would actually be rejected.

Consider how many people, on ordinary days, go to great lengths just to share a meal with her.

Yet this young man refused her so decisively.

This left her feeling both frustrated and more curious about Jiangnan.

What exactly is this young man's background?

Why can he face her invitation so calmly?

Xia Yurou's mind was full of questions, but she showed none of them.

She still maintained an elegant smile.

"Swipe the card,"

Jiangnan urged, his tone carrying a hint of impatience.

He now only wanted to finish the transaction quickly and then leave here with Murong Wan.

Xia Yurou was startled.

She hadn't expected the young man to be so eager.

Xia Yurou dared not delay any longer and hurriedly took out the POS machine.

"Mr. Jiangnan, please swipe your card,"

Jiangnan produced the black card and handed it to Xia Yurou.

Xia Yurou took the black card, and her heart trembled again.

She recognized this card.

It is the globally limited-edition Black Gold Card, owned by only a handful of people.

Anyone who possesses this card is of eminent status and distinguished rank.

This young man actually owns such a card?

Xia Yurou was filled with shock, yet she showed none of it.

She took a deep breath, steadied herself, and then inserted the black card into the POS machine.

Xia Yurou pressed the confirm button.

The POS machine emitted a "beep-beep" sound and began processing the transaction.

All eyes focused on the POS machine, awaiting the final result.

Ren Yang was even more nervous, his palms sweating.

He silently prayed, hoping Jiangnan's card balance was insufficient and the transaction would fail.

That way, he could see Jiangnan embarrassed and vent his resentment.

However, reality disappointed him.

On the POS machine's screen, the words "Transaction Successful" were displayed clearly.

At the same time, a receipt printed out of the POS machine.

Xia Yurou handed the receipt to Jiangnan with both hands, her voice tinged with reverence.

"Mr. Jiangnan, the transaction is successful, the balance payment has been made,"

A murmur spread around.

Five hundred million, paid successfully like that?

This young man truly possesses such enormous wealth!

Everyone's gaze toward Jiangnan changed.

Their eyes were filled with awe and worship.

Ren Yang's complexion turned ashen, his body trembling slightly.

He couldn't believe that this country bumpkin actually produced five hundred million.

How could this be possible?

He must have used some unsavory means!

Ren Yang shouted wildly in his mind, unwilling to accept this fact.

He felt like a Jumping Clown, mocked by everyone.

His heart was full of humiliation and anger, wishing he could crawl into a crack in the ground.

Jiangnan took the receipt, didn't even glance at it, and handed it directly to Murong Wan.

"Wan'er, keep it,"

Murong Wan took the receipt, a happy smile spreading across her face.

She knew that this Crystal Heart was Jiangnan's token of love for her.

She would cherish it forever.

Xia Yurou watched Jiangnan interact with Murong Wan, feeling a flood of emotions.

This young man not only possessed vast wealth but also such deep affection.

He, after all, what kind of man is he?
