Chapter 75 - Object of Love
Chapter 75: Object of Love
As soon as she entered the office, Mo Yan noticed that many people were sizing her up.
“Aiyo, Mrs. Mo who looks down on diamonds is here! Hurry up and show us what your husband bought you.” The short-haired woman stared at Mo Yan like a crow-eyed chicken.
Smiling at the woman, Mo Yan pretended to casually lift up her hair to reveal the delicate jade bracelet on her wrist. She greeted everyone, “Good morning!”
Mo Yan and the short-haired woman, one standing and one sitting, one steady and one anxious, the difference was obvious.
“My God! Mo Yan, is this the gift your husband gave you? What a beautiful jade bracelet!” A colleague took the lead to walk to Mo Yan’s side and exclaimed at the jade bracelet.
Since ancient times, gold and jade had been passed down. The sounds of gold and jade jewelry was enough to show one’s beauty. Imagine if a beautiful woman was wearing a jade bracelet and dancing gracefully in front of you, how graceful, charming, and beautiful would that be?
Using a jade bracelet as a object of love also expressed the implicit and passionate possessiveness of lovers.
Therefore, whether it was for sale or inheritance, the value of a jade bracelet was much higher than a diamond.
Mo Yan nodded to the person who came and said with a smile, “Yes, I think it’s very beautiful too.”
This colleague did not have any friction with Mo Yan. She was considered to be a ‘non-contact’ in the company. Usually, she would only focus on her performance at work, so Mo Yan had a good impression of her.
Seeing that someone had spoken, others also walked over and surrounded Mo Yan.
“Mo Yan, your bracelet looks so expensive! Was it passed down from your husband’s family?” The female colleague wanted to touch it, but after thinking about it, she did not dare to.
Mo Yan shook her head. “I’m not sure. He gave it to me when we got married.”
“I heard that some very good jade is priceless. Your jade bracelet looks so grand. How much does it cost?” The person who spoke was actually a male colleague. He was also attracted by the jade bracelet on Mo Yan’s hand.
Mo Yan rolled her eyes, but she did not tell him about her visit to the pawn shop. She only said, “I’m not sure about the price.”
Amidst the waves of praise, a discordant voice was heard.
“Not sure about the price? It couldn’t be fake, right?”
Mo Yan looked up and saw that it was Chen Ya, who was passing by the office door.
Chen Ya had not seen Mo Yan’s bracelet, but she had heard yesterday that Mo Yan was going to bring her wedding gift from her husband to the company. So, she had come early in the morning to see Mo Yan make a fool of herself.
When the crowd saw Chen Ya, they could not help but silently make way for her.
It was not that Chen Ya was very powerful, but that she had a powerful uncle backing her up. In order not to be bullied by the leaders, not many people in the company were willing to offend her. Chen Ya, on the other hand, did not have any self-awareness. She put on the airs of a leader in the company every day.
Mo Yan had already fallen out with Chen Ya a long time ago. When she saw her coming, her smiling face instantly disappeared. She even wanted to turn around and leave. Arguing with Chen Ya was a little degrading.
“Why are you leaving? Did you specially get a fake to show off to everyone?” Chen Ya paused for a moment, then used an even harsher voice to say, “The company is for you guys work, not for you guys to show off! If you want to show off, you can show off your achievements.”
As she said this, Chen Ya used a sharp gaze to sweep across the people surrounding Mo Yan, and even glared at the people who praised Mo Yan’s beautiful bracelet.
However, these words almost made Mo Yan laugh. Chen Ya was someone who abused her authority to bully employees.
“Supervisor Chen, it’s not time for work yet. It’s my freedom to talk to my colleagues,” Mo Yan retracted her smile and said calmly.
Chen Ya was shocked and subconsciously glanced at the clock. Sure enough, it was 7:52 am. It was not time for work yet. But who was Chen Ya? How could she admit defeat in front of Mo Yan? “I’m just reminding you guys not to do useless things. Showing off with fake goods will make people laugh their heads off.”
Mo Yan’s gaze on Chen Ya gradually darkened. She had learned her lesson. She was not as brainless as before.
“Supervisor Chen, you keep saying that my bracelet is fake. Are you an expert in appraising?” Mo Yan’s tone was sarcastic.
Chen Ya smiled contemptuously and said to Mo Yan, “Why don’t you show it to me?”
She didn’t believe that Mo Yan could show her anything good. How could Mo Yan’s thug husband be willing to spend money on her?
As Chen Ya thought about this, the scene of the man holding an umbrella for Mo Yan flashed across her mind. Although Mo Yan called that man her husband, Chen Ya didn’t believe that such a good-looking man was the rumored thug. Mo Yan must have hired someone to put on an act.
