Old Master Jiang took the pendant from Jiang Shiheng’s hand, glanced at it, and said, "So it’s this kind of quality."
He handed the pendant to Old Master Lu in a mocking manner and said, "Previously, due to my trust in Shuangshuang, I never thought about taking a good look at this stone. She was always concealing it. Now, is there so misunderstanding on Lu Family’s part? When we present an engagent token, we are not sending sothing of such quality."
"Old Jiang, what do you an by this? What do you an by ’this kind of quality’?"
"This gemstone, although its quality isn’t bad, its fire and craftsmanship are completely inferior to the one from our Jiang Family. Moreover, the pendant has a perfectly designed secret ring; otherwise, do you think our Jiang Family is paupers, casually picking a ruby for engagent? Old Lu shouldn’t look down on people like this."
In recent years, the Lu Family entered politics more, but although there were many Lu Family mbers in the political arena, none rose higher, except for a few like Lu Zhenggang.
Moreover, they were mostly clean-handed, and the Lu Family was far inferior compared to great wealthy families like the Jiang Family.
Furthermore, in his youth and middle age, Old Master Jiang was indeed capable. When the nation needed it, the Jiang Family donated a sizable fortune, gaining a good reputation, and Jiang Shiheng’s father was a young genius, always building bridges and roads, implenting asures to protect the fishern of D State. The Jiang Family’s reputation was loud, yet they had the ability to stand firm amidst years of turmoil. This was indeed a great skill.
Old Master Jiang had never flaunted his wealth before Old Master Lu, so this sudden act now made Old Master Lu feel like his face was slapped and it burned with pain.
This old thing from Jiang Family!
Is he calling the Lu Family petty? Miserable?
A five-carat ruby even, and he’s saying it’s casually picked?
It’s quite a big one!
To find such a ruby, they had put in considerable effort back then and even spent a lot of money!
That sum was considered a major expenditure for the Lu Family at the ti. Although the Lu Family is much stronger now, in terms of wealth, it still can’t compare to the Jiang Family.
So now, is Old Master Jiang fiercely looking down on them?
Fourth Master Jiang also loudly exclaid, "Indeed, Old Master Lu shouldn’t look down on people like this. If that ruby wasn’t top-tier, why would we use it as an engagent token?"
Here we go.
Fine, fine!
We get it, your Jiang Family’s ruby is top-tier, isn’t it enough?
Old Master Lu was so enraged he nearly had a stroke.
He took a deep breath and said, "What Xiao Sixth ntioned about the annulnt back then, we were unaware. Annulnt is not sothing so easily done. Shouldn’t the elders of both families et formally to clarify? The letters exchanged should rely be childhood disputes, right?"
He looked at Jiang Shiheng and said, "Back then, you were both young, and it’s normal to argue and bicker. Sotis in monts of anger, one may say heated words, talking about breaking up; it’s just a small thing between kids, isn’t it? This matter shouldn’t be taken seriously."
They’re trying to play off the annulnt years ago as a re joke and argunt.
Jiang Shiheng shook his head and said, "Back then, I had soone deliver the annulnt letter to the old master’s hand, but Miss Lu personally intercepted it. This isn’t my problem, and I ntioned in the letter that it was rely to inform of my intention, and I would pay a formal visit for the official annulnt."
