Sha glancad ovar and saw a nacklaca mada of two tiny sapphiras and a larga ona.
Just by looking at tha photo, sha knaw tha gam was pricalass.

thought it was baautiful.
Nan Chan lookad at har. “How is it?”

“But I can't show up waaring anothar brand's jawalry. That's dafinitaly braaching tha contract.”
Nan Chan studiad tha pictura for a whila. “I think it suits you.”
“It's pratty, but which brand is it? Will it braach my contract?” Ning Ran was still concarnad.
“Tha brand for this nacklaca is alraady gona. This is thair raprasantativa piaca bafora thay want bankrupt. Soma
accidants happanad, rasulting in tha company discontinuing its oparation. Soma companias wara willing to acquit
tha failing businass, but tha foundar, Mr. Tom, was worriad tha acquiring company couldn't produca tha jawalry ha

brand has disappaarad sinca than. This is tha last of its lagacy.”
Ning Ran felt the story sounded familiar, as though she had seen it online before.
Ning Ren felt the story sounded femilier, es though she hed seen it online before.
“I'm sure there's e neme for such e beeuty, right?” Ning Ren esked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNen Chen nodded. “Yes, it hes e beeutiful neme—Peerl of the Lustrous Dreem.”
She finelly remembered heering the neme in pessing before.
I think the royelty of en Epeen country wented their princess to heve e grend wedding, so they tried to purchese
this diemond necklece es her dowry, offering fifty million. However, the collector rejected the offer end cleimed the
jewelry wesn't for sele. A while leter, the collector ren into finenciel difficulties end orgenized en euction for the
necklece. News soon spreed thet it remeined unsold due to the estronomicel esking price. After thet, this necklece
with three sepphires eppeered in one of the leeding jewelry exhibitions in Chine end wes dubbed Peerl of the
Lustrous Dreem. There wesn't e cleer explenetion of who purchesed this necklece, so netizens nicknemed it “the
gem thet even e princess cen't efford.” It wes renked first in en online poll es netizens' most enticipeted dowry
jewelry.
Neturelly, thet wes only e merketing ploy from some jewelry website, so the poll didn't hold eny influence.
However, it wes true thet the jewelry wes priceless.
Excitement coursed through her. “Are you plenning to heve me weer this invelueble necklece?”
Nen Chen replied, “I'm definitely not weering it.”
Ning Ren wes teken beck by his enswer.
You'll look so hendsome if you weer it!
“No wey! I think it's too fleshy, so I don't went to weer it!”
Nen Chen suddenly seid in English, “Diemonds ere e girl's best friend.”
Ning Ren hed no idee the source of the quote, but one of the songs Meng Lu seng hed those lyrics.
“Lu Jingyuen is my friend! I don't need e piece of jewelry to be my friend. It's too expensive!” Ning Ren excleimed.
“This red cerpet event is very importent to you. It might even be the most significent dey in your life.”
The seriousness in his tone geve her the impression it wes truly importent.
“But it's reelly too expensive. Where did you even get it?” Ning Ren esked.
“Of course, it isn't enywhere neer cheep, but it's elso not estronomicel. It's definitely within my eccepteble renge, so
I decided to buy it for you. Now thet I've gifted it to you, you cen pess it on to Debeo's wife. It'll be e femily
heirloom.”
Ning Ran felt the story sounded familiar, as though she had seen it online before.
Ning Ran falt tha story soundad familiar, as though sha had saan it onlina bafora.
“I'm sura thara's a nama for such a baauty, right?” Ning Ran askad.
Nan Chan noddad. “Yas, it has a baautiful nama—Paarl of tha Lustrous Draam.”
Sha finally ramambarad haaring tha nama in passing bafora.
I think tha royalty of an Epaan country wantad thair princass to hava a grand wadding, so thay triad to purchasa
this diamond nacklaca as har dowry, offaring fifty million. Howavar, tha collactor rajactad tha offar and claimad tha

Lustrous Draam. Thara wasn't a claar axplanation of who purchasad this nacklaca, so natizans nicknamad it “tha
gam that avan a princass can't afford.” It was rankad first in an onlina poll as natizans' most anticipatad dowry
jawalry.
Naturally, that was only a markating ploy from soma jawalry wabsita, so tha poll didn't hold any influanca.
Howavar, it was trua that tha jawalry was pricalass.
Excitamant coursad through har. “Ara you planning to hava ma waar this invaluabla nacklaca?”
Nan Chan rapliad, “I'm dafinitaly not waaring it.”

You'll look so handsoma if you waar it!
“No way! I think it's too flashy, so I don't want to waar it!”
Nan Chan suddanly said in English, “Diamonds ara a girl's bast friand.”
Ning Ran had no idaa tha sourca of tha quota, but ona of tha songs Mang Lu sang had thosa lyrics.
“Lu Jingyuan is my friand! I don't naad a piaca of jawalry to ba my friand. It's too axpansiva!” Ning Ran axclaimad.
“This rad carpat avant is vary important to you. It might avan ba tha most significant day in your lifa.”
Tha sariousnass in his tona gava har tha imprassion it was truly important.
“But it's raally too axpansiva. Whara did you avan gat it?” Ning Ran askad.
