C203 Friends of Plum and Bamboo Horse?
Liu Mengyao's face turned ugly the moment she saw this man. There was even a hint of disdain and contempt in her eyes.
This was the son of a friend of his father, his name was Chen Junhui. Previously, he had tried to pursue her but was rejected and later had no contact with her after he left the country.
This fellow may appear to be an extraordinary gentleman with an imposing manner, but he was a scum in his bones and had committed many shady tricks in the dark.
Halfway down the stairs, she wanted to return to the second floor to hide, but her father stopped her.
"Mengyao, come down." Liu Jun waved to his daughter, pointed to Chen Junhui, and said, "Junhui's back home. Come and greet him."
"Hello, Brother Junhui."
Liu Mengyao had no choice but to grit her teeth and walk downstairs. The smile on her face was a bit stiff.
To be honest, she was really afraid of meeting this man with a decent appearance. She didn't want to be disturbed by him, but she couldn't think of a suitable reason to refuse.
After all, Chen Junhui's father and her father were good friends, so she couldn't embarrass everyone.
"Mengyao …"
Chen Junhui was like a lover that had been separated for many years. He quickly stepped forward with eyes full of love and doting.
When he saw Wu Tian, who followed Liu Mengyao downstairs, his face slightly darkened. He couldn't help but ask, "Is this man your servant?"
"He's my friend, Wu Tian." Liu Mengyao feigned a smile, pointed at Wu Tian behind her and explained, "Just now, I took him to my room for a walk."
"To your room?" Hearing that, Chen Junhui's expression turned even worse.
As far as he knew, apart from servants, there were very few men with another surname who could go up to the second floor, let alone enter Liu Mengyao's room.
Even with his deep relationship with the Liu family, he had never been to Mengyao's room. How could this kid in front of him have the ability to do that?
He couldn't help but start to suspect that this Wu Tian had a close relationship with Mengyao. Maybe they were lovers.
"Yes!"
Liu Mengyao nodded and said with a stingy smile, "Wu Tian is an important guest invited by my family. Dad wants me to take him for a walk upstairs."
"Is that so?" Chen Junhui pursed his lips into a smile without any change in his expression. That sentence just now had allowed him to catch a lot of information.
From the looks of it, there was no deep relationship between Wu Tian and Mengyao. However, Liu Jun clearly wanted to match the two of them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let his daughter bring the man to her bedroom.
Staring at Wu Tian for a while, Chen Junhui stretched out his right hand and introduced himself as a gentleman, "My name is Chen Junhui, I'm Mengyao's childhood friend."
He purposefully emphasized the words' childhood sweetheart 'to show that he had a special relationship with Liu Mengyao.
"Hello, nice to meet you." As the saying goes, don't be impolite. Wu Tian knew the hostility in the other person's eyes, but he still shook hands with him.
He came to the Liu family today as a guest, so naturally, he couldn't embarrass Uncle Liu.
"You are all my friends. We are all guests. Dinner has been prepared. Great-nephew, Tian, please come in." Liu Jun gestured a "please" gesture and said to the two of them.
"Please!"
Chen Junhui bent down at ninety degrees and made a gesture of "please". He appeared to be especially polite and polite.
"There's no need to be polite, come in and have a seat." After Liu Jun said this, he walked towards the restaurant first.
Chen Junhui and Wu Tian followed closely behind him, followed by the Liu Family members and Liu Mengyao.
Originally, it was just a feast, but because of an unexpected guest, her mood had worsened.
At this moment, the table was already filled with delicious food. There were more than 20 dishes on the table, and it looked extremely sumptuous.
After everyone had taken their seats, Liu Jun raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Let us first welcome the two esteemed guests. We will have a drink together."
"Uncle, I toast you." Chen Junhui raised his wine cup to signal Liu Jun, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
The others also raised their glasses and drank.
When they finished their first glass of wine, the atmosphere in the restaurant was noticeably milder.
"Uncle."
Chen Junhui put down his wine cup, took out a plastic bag from his pocket and handed it over to Liu Jun, "This is a present I brought for uncle, it's a little gift from me, I hope uncle can accept it."
He knew that if he wanted to marry Liu Mengyao, he had to curry favor with Liu Jun first. In the Liu family, many matters were left up to Liu Jun to decide.
In order to curry favor with Liu Jun, he did not hesitate to offer up expensive diamonds as a show of sincerity and respect.
"South African diamond?"
Seeing the diamonds in the plastic bag, Liu Jun's eyes lit up.
Staring at the diamond a few times, he waved his hand and quickly rejected, "Nephew, this gift is too valuable, Uncle cannot accept it."
"This is just a small token of my appreciation, I hope uncle won't decline." Chen Junhui stood up from his seat and respectfully handed over the naked diamond in his hands.
"Alright!"
Seeing Chen Junhui being so sincere, Liu Jun could not refuse anymore. He could only accept the bag of diamonds and asked with a smile, "The value of these diamonds is not low, right?"
"Not much money, just tens of millions." After Chen Junhui said this, he intentionally brought the topic up to Wu Tian, "Mr Wu, how much do you think these diamonds are worth?"
He deliberately asked this because he wanted to show off to Wu Tian that he had money and was willing to spend it on Liu Jun. He also wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass Wu Tian.
From the beginning, he had regarded Wu Tian as a rival in love. Naturally, he wanted Wu Tian to make a fool of himself in the Liu family and be mocked and despised by the Liu family.
From his point of view, Wu Tian was wearing shabby clothes and had no taste at first glance. Naturally, he wouldn't recognize luxury goods like diamonds.
"In my opinion, these diamonds are worth tens of thousands of dollars!" Wu Tian stared at the diamond a few times and answered with a smile.
When these words came out, the Liu Family started to discuss with one another.
They all thought that Wu Tian didn't know anything, and didn't know anything about diamonds at all. He thought that the tens of millions of dollars worth of South African diamonds were worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Even Liu Jun and Liu Mengyao thought that Wu Tian was wrong.
"Mr Wu, why do you say that these diamonds are only worth tens of thousands of yuan?" Chen Junhui asked with a smile on his face.
In fact, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart. It seemed like Wu Tian didn't know anything about diamonds, and he will lose face in a while.
"Your South African Bare Diamond's level is only VS2." Wu Tian grabbed the bag of diamonds and said in a serious tone, "The cutting technique originated from Poole. The color and cleanliness are very ordinary. 50 points for each piece, around 7,000 yuan. Ten pieces are only 70,000 yuan."
Hearing that, everyone was surprised. They didn't expect Wu Tian to be good at analyzing diamonds.
Chen Junhui was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wu Tian to be so knowledgeable about diamonds. If he didn't know anything, it would be impossible for him to say what he just said.
However, he still believed that Wu Tian was deliberately mystifying and belittling the value of his diamonds.
He had spent tens of millions on these diamonds, and both the cutting process and the colour and purity were first-rate.
Furthermore, he had previously asked someone from South Africa to appraise it. Furthermore, he also had a professional verification certificate. His diamond market price was definitely not lower than 50 million.
