After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

There is a pendant lying quietly in the red velvet jewelry box.

Although the jade used to make the pendant is not of the highest quality, it does look somewhat transparent.

Zhu Jin gently picked up the pendant and looked around carefully.

This is indeed one of the pendants on my own design drawings, and it is the most difficult one among them.

The carved and polished jade pendant is wrapped in platinum, and the patterns on it are beautifully carved. Unfortunately, on the jade pendant, if you look closely, you can see some knife scratches.

This is probably caused by the trembling hands of the carving craftsmen.

Zhu Jin caught a glimpse of the old man's slightly trembling hands and sighed softly.

If his hands hadn't been shaking, the craftsmanship would have been exquisite.

"What do you think?" Lao Li asked anxiously, "I can really help you make the jewelry you want, and I hope you can give me this opportunity."

Zhu Jin gently put the pendant back into the jewelry, "Sorry."

"Your craftsmanship is good, but it's not up to the standard I want."

Out of the desire to cherish his talent, Zhu Jin couldn't help but persuade him, "You can practice more after you stop drinking."

Lao Li shook his head, "Isn't this craft good?"

Zhu Jin met the old man's pleading eyes and said cruelly.

"The craftsmanship is indeed good, but it is not fine enough. There are many scratches on the jade pendant left during carving. It should be caused by your drinking too much and your hands shaking."

"If you really want to recreate your jewelry, it's best to stop drinking. Alcohol can affect the sensitivity of your hands."

Lao Li suddenly opened the jewelry box and almost stared at the pendant.

After a while, he looked lost and the pendant in his hand slipped and fell to the ground.

Zhu Jin bent down to help pick it up and put it back into the jewelry box.

"Your craftsmanship is indeed good, but you still have to overcome the trembling of your hands." Zhu Jin paused and added, "Come to me again when you can successfully quit drinking."

“I look forward to working with you.”

After saying that, Zhu Jin stopped looking at the lost old Li Tou and turned back to the Huo Group.

She had tried to persuade her, but if the other party couldn't think clearly, no matter how much she said, it would be useless.

……

The Shen family banquet was held in the parlor of the number one restaurant in Beijing.

The tall living room is splendid, and the dazzling crystal lamps on the ceiling are dazzling.

The guests in attendance were well dressed.

Zhu Jin originally thought that this banquet would only be for high-level families in Beijing or the jewelry design industry, but he did not expect that the Shen family would invite many outsiders and celebrities.

Flashing lights appeared one after another at the door of the entire party.

Zhu Jin looked at the side entrance outside the car window and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that the Shen family attaches great importance to this matter."

Huo Jingcheng folded the documents and hummed lightly, "After all, this is the first official announcement that Shen Yingying has joined the Shen Group, so it is naturally important."

The Shen family's jewelry design has obviously been declining in recent years.

Shen Yingying's return to China, the last time the Shen family held a jewelry design competition with gongs and drums, and this Shen Group's dinner were all aimed at saving the Shen Group's jewelry industry in jeopardy.

"Well, you gave them the invitation last time, saying there was some big drama."

Huo Jingcheng said, "Not everyone hopes that this dinner will be successful."

Zhu Jin frowned so much that he could kill a fly.

She thought Huo Jingcheng and the Shen family were on the same side.

The cool fingers on his fingertips gently touched her frown.

The man's cold voice came, "Get out of the car."

Assistant Chen pushed Huo Jingcheng and walked beside Zhu Jin. The two of them did not need to hand over invitations when they entered. The person greeting them at the door brought them directly into the living room with a smile on their face.

Shen Chuan and Mrs. Shen greeted him with smiles.

"Jingcheng, you're here." Both of them nodded towards Huo Jingcheng, but when they met Zhu Jin, their smiles faded a bit and they just nodded.

"Yes." Huo Jingcheng glanced at the two of them coldly.

Assistant Chen behind him handed over the gift that had been prepared.

"Congratulations to my cousin." Huo Jingcheng said calmly, "My cousin is really young and promising."

"Oh, that's what you said." Mrs. Shen was pleased by these words. Her eyebrows arched with laughter as she spoke, and she couldn't help but cover her lips with her hands.

Shen Chuan patted Huo Jingcheng's shoulder, "Not as good as you. If she were as good as you, I would be relieved and wouldn't have to hold this banquet in a big way."

Huo Jingcheng didn't answer, and Mrs. Shen's smile faded a little.

Shen Chuan realized that he had made a mistake and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

"Ahem. But as a father, I am very happy that she can achieve such an achievement now." Shen Chuan said, "After all, she walked this path by herself."

Mrs. Shen echoed, "Yes. It is not easy for Yingying to be recognized by several masters and return to China in a short period of time."

During the greetings, Ji Huai appeared behind several people with his arms around Shen Yingying.

"Dad, Mom." Shen Yingying shouted.

The smile on Mrs. Shen's face became even bigger when she saw Shen Yingying. It was the smile of a mother loving and loving her daughter.

"Yingying, come here." Mrs. Shen waved to others, "Your cousin took time out of his busy schedule to come over to celebrate you."

Shen Yingying was very respectful when facing Huo Jingcheng. She nodded, "Thank you, cousin."

Huo Jingcheng was too lazy to raise his eyelids and just hummed lightly.

Zhu Jin felt that there was a line of sight that had been tightly wrapped around him since just now.

She subconsciously followed the other person's line of sight, and when she met those red bloodshot eyes, her long delicate eyebrows frowned slightly.

Ji Huai?

The man who was high-spirited and happy before to marry the Shen family's daughter now exudes a feeling of decadence.

No matter how brightly he dressed, he couldn't hide the fatigue on his body.

Isn't he about to do something good?

What happened to the Ji family or Ji Huai recently?

Zhu Jin has never paid attention to this scumbag since he ended up with him, and naturally he doesn't know how he got himself into this situation.

Just as Zhu Jin was wondering what happened, the force on his hand increased, and the pain made Zhu Jin almost scream.

She glared at Huo Jingcheng angrily.

"Uncle, aunt, you guys are busy first." Huo Jingcheng said calmly.

Shen Chuan and Mrs. Shen hurriedly agreed and left with Shen Yingying and Ji Huai.

Huo Jingcheng held Zhu Jin's hand without letting go. Zhu Jin was worried that the other party was not feeling well, so he knelt down and asked patiently, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Huo Jingcheng pursed his lips and uttered two words.

He didn't want to speak directly, nor did he want to speak his mind.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Zhu Jin asked tentatively.

Huo Jingcheng said coldly, "No."

Zhu Jin tried a few more answers but was rejected one by one.

"Let's go and rest nearby." Huo Jingcheng pointed to the corner.

"it is good."

Zhu Jin pushed Huo Jingcheng towards the corner. She didn't notice that Ji Huai, who was dragged away, looked back at her.

There was jealousy and resentment in that look.
