ABHL 12

Chapter – 12

Rare, second only to natural red diamonds.

She also had a natural red diamond, a gift from her father.

Most green diamonds on the market now are artificially irradiated synthetic stones.

“Thanks, Dad.” Chu Yihan held the green diamond in her hands, unwilling to let go. “How much did it cost to buy it? It must’ve cost at least nine figures, right?”

Her father took a sip of the Pu’er tea on the table. “You don’t need to worry about the cost. Our family isn’t short on money. As long as you like it, that’s enough.”

Her mother smiled and shook her head. This was her husband’s usual saying—true wealth nurtures elegance.

A girl raised in comfort and abundance during her formative years easily develops a composed and extraordinary temperament.

Besides providing excellent material conditions, they had created a rich and comfortable environment for her to grow up in.

Girls are naturally attentive to details, and if taught to be “stingy,” they easily become petty.

From a young age, they had taken her to various places, exposing her to many things, broadening her horizons, and increasing her experience.

This upbringing allowed their daughter to now be independent, have her own opinions, be wise, and know exactly what she truly wanted.

Raising a child in wealth isn’t just an investment in education—it’s an investment in cultural refinement.

If children are spoiled in the wrong way, they become lazy, without their own thoughts, squandering their days in idleness.

No matter how large the inheritance, it will be squandered if handed to such children.

Chapter 11: You’re the Most Important

Chu Yihan woke up early today.

Her father, having seen her come downstairs at this hour, was surprised. “Yiyi, why didn’t you sleep in? You’re the boss; you don’t have to rush to the studio this early.”

Chu Yihan took the warm milk handed to her by the maid and drank a sip. “Dad, you say that, but you’re the boss too. Why are you up so early?”

Her father replied, “I don’t have the habit of sleeping in. You’re different.”

Chu Yihan pouted slightly. How could her father reveal her little secret like that? “Is Mom still asleep?”

“Yes,” her father glanced at her mother beside him. “Go ahead and sit down for breakfast.”

Chu Yihan drank the rest of her milk and wiped her mouth. “I’ll eat at the studio.”

Her father looked puzzled. “What’s so urgent?”

“There’s a new batch of jewelry at the studio. Dad, I’ll go first.” With that, she headed out.

Her father, hearing this, was momentarily speechless. He had thought something serious had happened at her studio. “Sure, sure. Jewelry is more important than Dad. It’s been so long since we had breakfast together.”

Chu Yihan paused. She was all too familiar with this tactic of her father’s.

Turning back, she walked to the table and pulled out a chair. “I’ll have breakfast with you. How can jewelry be more important than my dad? You’re the most important.”

“You always say sweet things. Why didn’t I see this realization earlier?” her father replied. “Can your studio’s jewelry really compare to the one I gave you?”

“…” She laughed inwardly. Her father was comparing again. “Of course not. Nothing can compare to what you gave me.”

Who could give a gift like her father’s? But even the jewelry in her studio wasn’t cheap; the display area on the first floor only had high-end luxury pieces.

Her father, hearing this, was pleased. He casually asked, “What do you plan to do with the green diamond?”

Chu Yihan took a bite of French toast and replied leisurely, “I haven’t decided yet. I’ll put it in the display cabinet at home first.”

She hadn’t even set the red diamond her father had given her into jewelry yet, as she had been busy designing necklaces and rings for customers and hadn’t had time to make her own pieces.

Her father said, “That’s fine. Keep it as a display piece; that’s not bad either.”

“!” Her wealthy father! Who would treat a nine-figure diamond like a mere ornament?

After breakfast, the father and daughter left together.

Her father reminded her, “Drive slowly, and be safe.”

“Okay.”

At the Studio

Chu Yihan first checked the newly purchased jewelry before heading to the second floor.

She opened the door next to her office. “You two are here? Haven’t had breakfast? I brought some for you.” She set down a thermal food container on the table.

“Yiyi, sit down!” Zeng Xi pulled her to sit beside her, curiosity blazing. “Yue’er said you have someone you like. Tell me, how far along are things?”

“I went to Lu City and missed such an important thing,” Chu Yihan murmured. “Nothing has progressed.”

Yue’er looked surprised. “Impossible! Didn’t you go to the club to get the car keys? Didn’t see him?”

Chu Yihan leaned back on the sofa, shrugging. “I saw him. We talked for a few minutes, and then he left. I had dinner alone.”

Yue’er opened the thermal container and said, “That Jiang Yu really has guts, leaving our beautiful Yiyi all alone like that.”

She added, “But that’s the kind of thing he might do. After all, you’ve only met twice.”

“Mm.” Chu Yihan’s expression was calm, her voice gentle. “No rush. I got a membership at Feile Club. I’ll go there when I have time and run into him by chance.”

“Yiyi, you’re really going all out! That membership must be expensive.” Zeng Xi was curious. “What exactly does Jiang Yu look like? Someone who makes you fall for him—I really want to see him.”

On this, Yue’er had something to say. She had seen Jiang Yu. “I can’t describe him in words. Let me put it this way: his looks and body are flawless.”

Zeng Xi asked, “Someone like him must have a lot of girls chasing him. Could he be a playboy? If so, he’s not worth your liking.”
