She’s Hard to Get - C238 hit
Compared to that intimate moment in the dining hall, Ning Caier kept having the feeling that there was something in these photos that appeared to be pictures. Something must have happened between them and it was not a sort of natural marriage.
Ning Caier’s EQ skyrocketed after wearing the engagement ring. She actually compared the photos of Xu Mengyun and Xu Mengyun with herself and Ouyang Jue. It was true that the closer she was to Ouyang Jue, the more comfortable it was for her.
Ouyang Jue found this comparison very interesting, but he was not surprised, because he firmly believed that his relationship with Ning Caier was much better than Xu Mengyun’s.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild, all of these postures Xu Mengyun is putting on airs is related to her attending all these formal occasions, it is almost an instinctive reaction of her body after seeing the camera. Moreover, this Miss Xu is not even allowing a single step in the way of business, how could she possibly make her marriage compromise?”
Ouyang Jue felt that Ning Caier was overthinking things, when she was facing the camera, her body would involuntarily tense up, and her back would straighten up, which was normal. Furthermore, Xu Mengyun had a reserved personality, allowing her to do things that were too intimate with others, might go against her own personality.
“Actually, I also have a kind of feeling. Looking at my beloved one, whether or not it is in front of the camera, I would always smile from the bottom of my heart. But Miss Xu’s smile seems to be a little formal.”
A while ago, she was extremely envious of Xu Mengyun, even before she wore the storage ring, she had been like this for a long time. But now, she understood the feeling of anticipation possessed by a married woman, although she could not tell how this feeling was different from Xu Mengyun’s, she could tell that something was wrong.
This feeling continued until Ling Tian and Xu Mengyun came to the company to pick out the jewelry, and when they appeared at the entrance hand in hand, Ning Caier was still in a daze. She looked at the two of them as if trying to find a flaw in their relationship.
“What happened? Did you not finish making the jewelry?” Xu Mengyun sat on the sofa, seeing that Ning Caier was still in a daze, she tapped the tea table in front of him with her fingers, “If it’s not completed, I can choose some finished products, and there are still other Jewelry Store s who are raising their hands to sponsor my wedding.”
Xu Mengyun did not want to advertise for her wedding either, but these partners and uncles all had relationships with each other, so she could only choose one in each field. Other than wanting to look good, the most important thing was to balance the relationship between everyone, it was more tiring than hosting the wedding itself.
“The jewelry is done, I will go take it now. Miss Xu and Mr. Ling, please wait a moment.”
Ning Caier realised that she had lost control of herself, and immediately bowed to apologize to Xu Mengyun, but she had forgotten to do so because the ring on her finger was even more obvious, and Xu Mengyun could even see a reflection in her eyes.
She immediately realized what that light was and felt pain in her heart. Ouyang Jue had actually chosen this time to get engaged to Ning Caier, to show her his happiness, or perhaps she had finally found a place for him to be at ease in order for him to do his own things. If it was the latter, Xu Mengyun felt that she was simply bringing it upon herself.
“It’s just that someone gave us a ring and they don’t put us in their eyes. Let’s go to another store. I think the other stores are pretty good. At least they won’t treat us with such disrespect.”
Ling Tian also saw the ring on Ning Caier’s hand, he did not care whether Ouyang Jue was betrothed to him or not, the more glory he had, the more Qin Lang would take revenge on him, but he cared about the attitude of this woman towards him and Xu Mengyun, for the matters of the marriage, they had been to many places and treated them as guests.
“Switching back and forth is too troublesome. Let’s just take a look first.” Xu Mengyun gently caressed Ling Tian’s knee to calm him down. It wasn’t that she had to show respect to Ning Caier, but she was already tired and really didn’t want to waste time on other things.
“Sorry, Miss Xu has kept you waiting.” Ning Caier quickly returned to the VIP lounge. She placed the sets of jewelry that she had designed for Xu Mengyun on the table. These jewelry were specially designed according to the style and color of the dresses that she had provided previously, they were absolutely unique.
Xu Mengyun casually picked up a necklace, and the style that Ning Caier had designed for her was simple, most of it was a simple platinum necklace. Adding on a very unique pendant, the pendant was made from a combination of different colored broken drill s, and the design was about the size of a coin.
“Do you TiaoAo Group think I can’t afford to buy jewelry for my wife? You actually used such a thing to lie to me! ” Ling Tian only glanced at the jewelry and his expression immediately darkened. He could tell how much the price of the jewelry was with a single glance, making it so that Xu Mengyun would usually lower her status when wearing it, let alone getting married.
“Mr. Ling, Miss Xu has always liked the simple style. Furthermore, the lines of the dress are very concise.
Ning Caier really wanted to explain her design. Every style here was related to Xu Mengyun’s experiences and the Xu Group;
Ning Caier felt that Ling Tian didn’t understand Xu Mengyun at all. She wasn’t one of those women who coveted diamonds enough to have heavy gold, if that were the case, she would have long been married to another rich family without having to wait till now. She felt all the more certain now that his judgment was correct, that there must have been some other reason for their marriage.
He even wished that Xu Mengyun could personally say that she wanted to cancel the marriage contract. A marriage that did not have the purpose of love, in the end, did not have any good results, so she looked at Xu Mengyun waiting for her final decision. She believed that she would definitely tell Ling Tian that the jewelry she designed matched her heart’s hope.
But there was no expression on Xu Mengyun’s face. She wasn’t angry, nor was she happy. It was as if Ning Caier and Ling Tian were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
“I remember when you were working with me, I taught you that you can only advise and never decide for your guests. The jewelry you designed isn’t suitable for this wedding, no matter what concept you had, it would be your fault if you didn’t get the customer’s approval.”
Xu Mengyun let out a heavy sigh, the expression on her face was filled with impatience. Ning Caier had violated the great taboo of a designer, which was that no matter how outstanding his design was, it could not surpass the authority of a customer.
She could tell that Ling Tian’s anger was real, and if she didn’t speak now, Ling Tian would probably attack his. But this time, she was genuinely standing on Ling Tian’s side.
did not understand the rules of the Wealthy Class, a Wealthy Class wedding was not simply a simple matter of a person’s preferences, many things were for others to see, if Xu Mengyun were to wear these simple pieces of jewelry at the wedding site, many people would doubt the economic capabilities of the Xu’s.
Furthermore, compared to the engagement banquet between Xu Mengyun and Ouyang Jue, Ling Tian couldn’t help but to compare all of the specifications of the wedding to show how much he valued the wedding. The jewelry that Ning Caier designed was no different from giving him face, making him extremely unhappy, if she was in a foreign country, she would have definitely been dragged out by Ling Tian’s subordinates.
“Miss Xu?” Ning Caier looked at Xu Mengyun in disbelief, not knowing what she did wrong. However, Xu Mengyun had already pushed the boxes of jewelry back in front of her, not even sparing her a glance at the jewelry inside.
“If you can’t take out something more suitable for this wedding, we can only go to other places. Honestly speaking, I am willing to give you this chance because I don’t want others to question the cooperation between Tian Ao and Xu’s. However, if you can’t take out something suitable, I won’t feel wronged about my wedding.”
Xu Mengyun stood up from the sofa and took Ling Tian’s arm, planning to go to another jewelry store. This made the man extremely satisfied that she was completely on Ling Tian’s side, and from start to finish, Ling Tian didn’t want anything related to Ouyang Jue to appear on his wedding ceremony.
“You’re right, our wedding isn’t something that can be done easily. You should keep something that isn’t up to standard for yourself.”
When Ling Tian wanted to take Xu Mengyun away, he had actually already bought a few pieces of antique jewelry at the auction a while back. It was just that the procedures for transporting them from abroad were rather complicated, so he had decided to keep them for their ceremony abroad. However, he could not bear to see himself and Xu Mengyun’s wedding ceremony being so shabby at home, so before he left, he made a phone call to see if there were any auctions that could sell some good stuff.
“That’s right, I never thought that the jewelry from Jewelry Store would be so unpresentable. It’s fine for those who are away, as long as they can hurry back.”
Ling Tian wished that everyone could hear his voice, every word of his was a humiliation to the Tianxiong Jewelry. He thought Xu Mengyun would definitely like this set of jewelry, so he didn’t prepare any alternatives. However, if Xu Mengyun were to leave from here, it would only affect his reputation, which would affect Tian Ao’s reputation a lot.
“If Miss Xu likes gorgeous jewelry, we have a lot too.”
Ning Caier hurriedly asked the shop assistant to bring him a few sets of expensive jewelry. These jewelry’s design was heavy, but the amount of diamonds there were big enough and the price was very expensive too. If what Xu Mengyun asked for were these things, Tianxiong Jewelry would definitely agree to it.
But Xu Mengyun only glanced at the jewelry once, and only left her with one word, “Vulgar!”
This time, it gave Ning Caier a huge blow. She looked at Xu Mengyun’s back as she left and did not know what to do, she sat on the sofa with her mind a blank, this time she really thought that she was being a little self-righteous, she originally thought that Xu Mengyun would just propose a few modifications, but she actually rejected all of them. This caused her to question her own ability. Did she really not understand the psychology of others enough to make a mistake over and over again?
When she received the call, he was a little surprised. It was normal for customers to deny the designer’s design, but this time, Xu Mengyun did it so decisively without leaving any face for Ning Caier and TiaoAo Group, it was indeed outside his expectations.
