Kapitel 78

A blogger specializing in explaining jewelry brands has come forward to explain Lin Leyao's necklace. The brand mentioned by this blogger is the same brand mentioned by the fan who caused a controversy in the fan circle by explaining the outfit, but the necklaces are not the same.

This jewelry blogger posted a photo of a necklace designed and launched by the brand sixty years ago.

Through the blogger's explanation, everyone learned that this necklace is a classic design from the brand, a jade necklace specially designed by the brand's founder and designer for his favorite musical actress.

Similar designs of this jade necklace have been released over the years, and with the passage of time and the refinement of its design, it has now become a classic style of the brand.

However, the necklace designs that were released later were all different from the original necklace designed for musical theatre actresses. The size of each jade bead in these necklaces was always two millimeters smaller than that in the original necklace designed for musical theatre actresses.

This represents the brand founder's special regard for this musical actress. He wanted to convey that no one else wearing a similar necklace could compare to her. This actress was an exception, special, and unique figure to the founder, and he designed this necklace to highlight that uniqueness.

This necklace represents "one and only love".

The deep affection conveyed by this necklace amazed fans, and some even inquired about the price.

Even the jewelry blogger couldn't give a clear answer this time, and could only reply: "A conservative estimate is over 30 million."

Upon seeing this blogger's answer, the comment section was filled with a series of exclamations.

Many influential figures couldn't resist sharing this Weibo post, adding captions that fully expressed their feelings upon seeing the price.

--"grass!"

"Holy crap!"

—"Damn it!"

With the increased number of reposts by influential figures, it naturally attracted the attention of a large number of netizens.

Many people went to the comments section of this jewelry popular science blogger to question: "Are you sure your popular science is correct? Is Lin Leyao so rich that she dares to casually wear a necklace worth tens of millions of dollars on the red carpet?"

The jewelry science blogger patiently replied, "I work in this industry, I couldn't possibly be wrong."

Netizen: "You said there's only one of these necklaces and only that foreign musical actress has it, so how could it possibly be in Lin Leyao's possession?"

The jewelry blogger replied, "I don't know either."

Netizen: "So Lin Leyao's is probably a fake. After all, it's a classic style, and even if it's fake, people who don't know much about fashion can't tell the difference."

The jewelry blogger replied, "You can't just say things like that."

When Lin Leyao went viral for spending 15 million to buy her painting, her necklace, which was worth at least 30 million, also began to generate buzz online.

Netizens have been engaged in heated discussions about Lin Leyao's necklace.

Many people think that celebrities make money easily. Lin Leyao has been in the industry for more than five years and has earned a lot of money, enough to buy a necklace worth tens of millions.

However, some people believe that Lin Leyao has not become a huge star. Over the years, she has only earned tens of millions at most. She usually eats, wears, and uses luxury goods. With so many expenses, how could she casually spend tens of millions to buy a necklace? Does she not live a life if she only buys necklaces?

Some people are wondering, isn't this necklace on the hand of that French musical actress? Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and Lin Leyao's necklace is probably just an ordinary classic style.

However, many netizens also made a lot of malicious comments.

At this fashion star charity gala, Duan Si'en was exposed by the brand's official Weibo account for wearing the same dress as Lin Leyao, causing both the celebrity and her fans to lose face. Lin Leyao was thus regarded as a thorn in the side by Duan Si'en's fans.

Unexpectedly, just two hours later, they seized the opportunity to make Lin Leyao experience the same suffering as her idol.

Duan Si'en's fans kept commenting under the Weibo posts of various bloggers and big V's discussing Lin Leyao's necklace: "First, other minor celebrities wore the same dress as her on the red carpet, and I thought Lin Leyao only wore the genuine article. I didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly. Lin Leyao actually wears a high-quality replica necklace."

Because this group of people used a large number of alternate accounts to stir up trouble under these bloggers' Weibo posts, it was hard for them to go unnoticed.

Lin Leyao's fans noticed this and immediately began to fight back.

They had just made a name for themselves tonight by auctioning off a painting for 15 million yuan by Lin Leyao, and now they were in high spirits and full of fighting spirit. In an instant, all the fans gathered together to beat up these fans who were spreading rumors.

The two fan groups argued online for a long time, until Lin Leyao couldn't sleep and posted on Weibo in the middle of the night, at which point the fans finally got tired of arguing and took a break.

Lin Leyao couldn't sleep for a while, and after posting on Weibo, she didn't log out immediately but instead went to her alternate account for a while.

She soon discovered that everyone had been arguing online all night about the necklace Xin Ying had given her.

Lin Leyao wasn't angry about the malicious comments. She was quite surprised, as she hadn't expected Xin Ying's Christmas gift to be so valuable.

If she had known the necklace's value beforehand, she would never have worn it to the dinner party so casually.

Lin Leyao's mind wandered, wondering how much Xin Ying had spent on the necklace, and how much money Xin Ying had spent to support her charity work that evening.

Even if the Xin family is very wealthy, and even if Xin Ying is the president of Huanning Group, the only money she can use is her own private savings.

I've only been with her for a short time, and she's already spent so much on me.

As Lin Leyao pondered these thoughts, she soon drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up in the morning, she found that her necklace was trending on social media. However, the trending topic did not include a large number of netizens speculating about the authenticity of the necklace or making malicious comments. Instead, the trending topic was that Chinese netizens had found the original owner's daughter's Twitter account on foreign websites and expressed their doubts to the Twitter user. The original owner's daughter posted a tweet on her own Twitter account in the early hours of the morning in China.

"I just received a call from Ms. Mia at the auction house, and I also received greetings from friends in China. I'm posting this tweet personally to answer your questions. My mother's necklace was consigned to Rimbaud Auction House for auction last September, and it was successfully sold on December 20th last year. The buyer was a mysterious Eastern lady, and I only learned today that such a beautiful woman owned this wonderful necklace. I am very lucky and happy. This necklace is very suitable for this beautiful lady, and I hope you will love and cherish it as my mother did. Thank you."

The necklace's original owner's daughter's tweet served as strong evidence, silencing those who had doubts. At that moment, many of the questioning and malicious comments from the previous night seemed to have vanished overnight, and the comments under this trending topic were all very friendly.

Netizens love those satisfying stories that happen on the internet, like something out of a thrilling drama. The trending topic about Lin Leyao's necklace is a real-life example of such a story.

This time, Lin Leyao's fans were unusually relaxed, like pampered young ladies, browsing through their idol's trending topics, because there were many kind comments from netizens under various Weibo posts related to Lin Leyao.

The comments under the top trending Weibo post cleverly weave together a story.

Netizen 1: "Wow, Lin Leyao is really that amazing to bid on a necklace at an auction?"

Netizen 2: "Do all rich people play like this?"

Netizen 3: "Is it possible... that Lin Leyao's family is very rich?"

Netizen 4: "So she's a runaway rich and beautiful woman from the entertainment industry?"

Netizen 5: "Damn, she's beautiful and rich. Here's a well-behaved puppy. Would you be willing to take her in?"

After seeing this trending topic, Lin Leyao opened WeChat, edited a message, and sent it to Xin Ying.

Lin Leyao: [Did you contact the auction house and the original owner of the necklace?]

Xin Ying had just arrived at the company when she saw the message. She replied with a smile: 【I didn't expect you to find out /shy】

Why would someone from abroad suddenly speak up for her necklace for no reason? Someone must have contacted them. Who else could it be but Xin Ying?

Lin Leyao's heart was stirred, and she tapped the screen to reply: "I didn't expect this necklace to be so valuable."

Xin Ying quickly replied, "Price isn't important; what's important is that it suits you."

Xin Ying quickly replied, "However, I do have quite a bit of savings left, so I don't have to hand it over and you can spend it all."

Lin Leyao couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and replied, "Since your secret stash of money is about to disappear, would Ms. Xin be willing to live the life of being kept by someone?"

Xin Ying: "After thinking it over, I think this suggestion is good. Ms. Lin, may I retire early and go home?"

Lin Leyao: "This is putting a lot of pressure on me. What if you don't have enough living expenses?"

Xin Ying smiled and replied, "I can earn money through other jobs, like warming your bed to earn living expenses. How about five hundred each time?"

Lin Leyao joked, "This price would have to be paid twice."

Xin Ying: "Deal."

Chapter 75

Today is Sunday, so Xin Wenwen doesn't need to go to work at the company.

Since accepting Xin Boliang's arrangement to work at Huanning, she hasn't seen her friends from her time making music for a long time.

We finalized the date two weeks ago and will have a get-together this afternoon at a guesthouse in the suburbs.

For some unknown reason, Xin Hailan has been unwilling to go out lately. She stays at the Xin residence every day with Grandpa Xin and Grandma Xin. Even when Grandma Xin asks Xin Hailan to go out with Xin Wenwen more often, she no longer goes out with Xin Wenwen as she used to.

The old lady went out today, and only Grandpa Xin is at home.

After learning that Xin Wenwen was going to the suburbs today, the old lady gave her instructions one last time before leaving home, asking Xin Wenwen to take Xin Hailan out with her.

This time, Xin Hailan didn't refuse and came out with Xin Wenwen.

After having lunch at the Xin residence, Xin Wenwen drove away. On her way to the suburban guesthouse, she deviated from her planned route and, after passing through a very busy intersection, drove onto the left-hand road.

The car stopped in front of a nursing home.

During this period, Xin Hailan not only stopped going out and only stayed by the old lady's side, but she also became much quieter, which is very different from when she first returned to China.

Xin Wenwen parked her car in front of the sanatorium and sat inside, looking down at her phone, presumably sending a message to someone.

Xin Hailan didn't know why Xin Wenwen, who was supposed to have a dinner party in the suburbs, would suddenly come to the sanatorium. Xin Hailan looked at the beautiful environment and magnificent buildings of the sanatorium, which looked very high-end, and remained silent.

After a while, the electronic door of the sanatorium slowly opened, and a petite and thin girl wearing a white dress walked out.

Xin Hailan, who was staring blankly out the window at the sanatorium, immediately noticed the girl. As if guided, the girl walked towards the car she was in.

When the person walked up to her, Xin Hailan could finally see what she looked like.

Her features, like her figure, give off a delicate and fragile feeling. Her large eyes droop at the corners, giving her an innocent look that makes people want to protect her.

Xin Hailan was still in a daze when Xin Wenwen, sitting in the driver's seat, called out, "Zhipei."

Xin Hailan saw that the girl smiled immediately after hearing Xin Wenwen's voice and said, "Wenwen, thank you for making this trip."

"Don't worry about it, it's on my way. Get in the car."

Xin Hailan sat in the passenger seat, and Xin Wenwen opened the back door and got in.

Xin Wenwen turned to the side and introduced her to Lin Zhipeng: "This is my cousin, Xin Hailan."

Lin Zhipeng's eyes flickered when she heard this introduction. When Lin Leyao and Xin Ying went to the Xin residence for dinner after they got their marriage certificate, Xin Hailan did not appear.

In her memory, the only third-generation children of the Xin family were Xin Wenwen and Xin Yuan. As for this Xin Hailan, Lin Zhipeng had never heard of her before.

Although she was puzzled, Lin Zhipeng didn't show it on her face. She smiled and greeted the other person, "Hello."

Then Xin Wenwen introduced the other person to Xin Hailan: "This is Lin Zhipei, your Aunt Leyao's younger sister. According to seniority, you need to call her aunt, but you can call her sister in private."

Lin Zhipei immediately said, "You don't need to call me aunt. You can call me sister or just call me Zhipei like Wenwen does."
