Chapter 109
The attendants took their leave.
Before long, relatives from the Tang family arrived upon hearing the news. Seeing such splendor, some felt envy, others jealousy.
“Oh, Shihan can now afford such a beautiful necklace? Could this be the legendary Sea and Sky Love?” one relative remarked.
Tang Shihan smiled and nodded.
“That necklace is said to be a limited edition worldwide. Where did you get it?” the relative pressed.
“Oh, my husband gave it to me.”
“Your live-in son-in-law husband? Can he really afford that?”
The words dripped with sarcasm and mockery, clearly implying the necklace was a fake.
Tang Shihan glanced toward Ye Fengyun not far away. Though still upset with him, he was her husband after all. What she approved, no one else could question.
“Of course—I paid for it myself,” she replied firmly.
“Oh? But I heard there’s only one Sea and Sky Love necklace in Yun Chuan City, previously bought by some big shot. Surely it couldn’t be Ye Fengyun?” The relative covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, and others joined in.
They certainly did not believe Ye Fengyun was that big shot. Exposing Shihan’s lie and embarrassing her was a delight.
No matter how extensive your connections are, we know your true background—stop pretending!
Tang Shihan, however, stood her ground. “My man would never buy a fake to deceive me!”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Several relatives snickered maliciously.
At that moment, a scream came from outside. Dressed to the nines, Ling Bingbing entered.
“Wow! It’s Ling Bingbing!”
“Ling Bingbing is here too?!”
“Amazing!”
The crowd erupted in cheers.
Ling Bingbing, stepping gracefully in crystal heels, approached Tang Shihan and Ye Fengyun. She first greeted her godfather, Li Hu, then exchanged pleasantries with Ye Fengyun and company.
“Is that really Ling Bingbing?”
The Tang relatives were dumbfounded.
Their jealousy was beyond words.
Suddenly, one relative jumped out: “By the way, Ling Bingbing owns a Sea and Sky Love necklace. She can tell at a glance whether Shihan’s is genuine.”
“Yes, yes! Shihan, have her take a look. It’ll also reveal Ye Fengyun’s true character—don’t let him fool you.”
Tang Shihan felt uneasy. She knew Ye Fengyun lacked the means to buy the real necklace. If she were exposed, where would her pride stand?
“No need—I trust my man,” she said.
“Trust won’t help. How many women have been deceived because they trusted their men?”
“Exactly—we shouldn’t blindly trust men!”
Seeing this, Li Hu turned to Ling Bingbing. “Bingbing, please check if it’s real.”
“Alright.”
Ling Bingbing moved toward Tang Shihan.
Her heart pounded in her throat.
The Tang relatives watched eagerly, their expressions full of schadenfreude.
“This necklace is genuine,” Ling Bingbing declared.
“What?!”
Not only the relatives, but Tang Shihan herself was stunned.
It was actually real?
But where did Ye Fengyun get the money?
“Impossible!” the relatives were dumbfounded.
“Impossible? Are you questioning me?” Ling Bingbing’s eyes flashed cold. “Are you doubting my judgment, or my identity?”
“N-no, no, we dare not,” they quickly apologized.
Of course, outside were Ling Bingbing’s fans. If they dared to question her, those fans could drown them in spit.
Tang Shihan glanced at Li Hu, thinking: Perhaps Bingbing is lying about the necklace being real just to save Li Hu’s face.
