CHAPTER 33
A third-rate guy is not good enough for my woman.
Everyone's eyes turned to Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao blushed under everyone's scorching gazes, but she suppressed the nervousness in her heart and said bluntly to Manager Xue, "We don't want this jewelry."
Manager Xue's smile froze on his face. He looked awkwardly at He Shaochen and then at Ling Yu, not knowing what to do.
He Shaochen glanced at Qiao Qiao with slight dissatisfaction. Then, he instructed Lingyu, "Ignore her. Go pay the bill."
"No, I don't like this necklace. Even if you buy it, I won't wear it!" Qiao Qiao said word by word under the cold light in He Shaochen's eyes.
The price of this necklace was undoubtedly astronomical. To her, it was no longer a simple necklace, but a shackle that imprisoned her conscience.
That dress was already her bottom line. She couldn't accept such expensive jewelry. Even if it was just an act, she couldn't accept it.
Otherwise, the nature of the situation would change.
He Shaochen's face darkened. "Say that again."
"I don't want to!" Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and said calmly.
Everyone else was dumbfounded by this scene. Manager Xue stared anxiously at Qiao Qiao. How could there be such a stupid woman? If someone was willing to spend money on such expensive jewelry, shouldn't she agree immediately? Why did this woman refuse?
Was he stupid?
While He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao were in a standoff, Ling Yu made a prompt decision. He quietly walked in front of Manager Xue and whispered to him, "Manager Xue, let's talk outside."
Manager Xue quickly nodded. Everyone left, leaving only He Shaochen and Qiao Qiao in the spacious living room.
"Are you trying to piss me off?" He Shaochen's cold gaze landed on Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao shook her head. "That's not what I meant. I just think that there's no need to spend so much money on a ball."
Hearing this, He Shaochen laughed mockingly.
"Do you think this ball is a game in the eyes of you commoners? It's basic etiquette to dress up for the ball. Why else do you think I'm wasting so much time here with you? "
"You don't need such expensive jewelry. There are so many beautiful necklaces in this shop."
He Shaochen scoffed. "Is that kind of trash worthy of He Shaochen's woman?"
Qiao Qiao opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute.
The other party added, "Don't forget your identity tonight. I didn't dress you up because of you, but because you're the woman who's going to hold my hand tonight. It's your job to be noble and decent. Don't bargain with me."
He Shaochen was a little angry. Qiao Qiao didn't want this and that, which made him very irritated.
Qiao Qiao knew that He Shaochen's values were very different from hers because of their different social classes. However, she still didn't want He Shaochen to impose his values on her.
She bit her lip and gave a final explanation. "I think that whether a woman is noble and decent doesn't depend on how luxurious her clothes are or how exquisite her jewelry is. It depends on her self-restraint and the temperament she exudes from the inside out. Otherwise, even if she wears a phoenix crown, she can't become a phoenix."
"Oh, you want to say that your temperament is beautiful?" He Shaochen sneered, but his expression softened a little.
"No …" Qiao Qiao was a little embarrassed. "I'm just explaining to you what I mean by noble and decent …"
He Shaochen didn't care about this. The corners of his lips curled up and he said, "Well, what kind of jewelry do you like? Pick it yourself. I want to see if those jewelry can make you look noble and decent."
