Chapter 52 - The Rich Fool Has Come (1/2)

Shen Qianshu held onto them. “Grandpa, Grandma, it’s not exactly ‘fake’. It’s just that it is a one-carat industrialized diamond, which is also severely defective. It is not worth twenty thousand. If the two of you want to buy a diamond, I can help you pick one. How about that?”

The old couple did not suspect others and were very open. The old man said, “I have been disabled for over thirty years. My wife has been looking after me tirelessly. These few years I am beginning to be able to walk, and I’ve saved some money too. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary, so I want to pick a diamond for her. One that’s big and beautiful.”

The old lady wiped away her tears. Shen Qianshu looked at the old man’s leg and was very moved. She also admired the old lady.

“Sure, I’ll pick one for you. One that’s big and beautiful.”

Shen Qianshu brought the old couple around to pick a diamond ring. She picked a one-carat diamond from the stall of an acquaintance she had known for long. It was an H color, VS1 clarity diamond worth sixty thousand. There were not many defects in it.

Li Zhiyuan passed by and was moved by the old couple. He wanted to gift them a ring, but they refused profusely. Shen Qianshu said, “Sir, is this beautiful?”

“Beautiful!” VS1 grade diamonds were never of low value. This was a stall that Shen Qianshu frequented, and the owner was very kind. Shen Qianshu often promoted the stall to her customers, and she would appraise the jewels bought. Furthermore, she never ever asked for commissions. Over time, she and the stall owner became great partners, and whenever there were any jewels, he would get Shen Qianshu to appraise them.

Upon seeing the relationship between Shen Qianshu and the old couple, the owner offered the diamond at cost price.

It was well carved. If it was from Cartier, the diamond ring would have been worth two hundred thousand.

“I’m glad you find it beautiful. This diamond is six thousand.” Shen Qianshu said.

The old man took over the diamond and put it onto the old lady’s fingers in a wobbly fashion. It was the perfect size for the old lady, and she said it was very beautiful.
