Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

As soon as Lin Hao saw the item his mother had taken out, he immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Blue diamonds are rare indeed, so even many of the Lin Family members had never seen one, and they all crowded around to take a look.

"Such a large blue diamond must be worth at least three to four million."

A distantly related Lin Family member couldn\'t help but comment aloud.

Upon hearing that the item could be worth so much money, everyone was shocked beyond additional words.

Zhang Xinlan was startled upon learning its value and immediately protested,

"Su Chen, this item is too expensive, I can\'t possibly accept it."

"Third sister-in-law, may I take a look at it?"

Lin Wenting squinted slightly as she looked at the blue diamond in Zhang Xinlan\'s hand.

Zhang Xinlan passed the blue diamond to Lin Wenting, who took several minutes to carefully inspect it before speaking pensively,

"This is not an ordinary blue diamond. This is a top-quality blue diamond. Look at this color, brilliance, and cut—they are all rare. I estimate it\'s worth at least ten million, and if it went up for auction, it could fetch up to twenty million."

Lin Wenting\'s words undoubtedly set the Lin Family abuzz with shock and astonishment, as everyone\'s gaze toward Su Chen was filled with confusion and amazement!

No one had expected that this shabbily dressed young man could casually pull out a treasure worth millions!

Probably the whole of Jianghai seldom had someone capable of doing something like this!

Who would be so wealthy as to carry around an item worth millions with them, and moreover, keep it in an old cloth bag?

Lin Ruoxue\'s gaze was also filled with question marks as she looked at Su Chen. How could he possess such an expensive item?

If he had so much money, why did he still dress so shabbily every day, looking like a loser who couldn\'t be propped up even with a wall?

Just as the Lin Family members were overwhelmed with shock, the little girl Lin Ruohan, who had been quiet so far, spoke up again:

"Mom, you\'re wrong. That\'s not just a top-quality blue diamond; that\'s a top-quality Deep Sea Blue Diamond!"

Upon hearing her daughter\'s words, Lin Wenting was so surprised that her eyeballs nearly popped out.

"What is a top-quality Deep Sea Blue Diamond?" someone hastily asked.

The others also looked at Lin Ruohan with eager faces. They were not too surprised that this little \'monster\' knew about such rare and odd things.

"The Deep Sea Blue Diamond is formed in the seas more than three thousand meters deep, nurtured over tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, and is extremely rare! The one that Brother Su brought out is also a top-quality among Deep Sea Blue Diamonds, something that is sought after but rarely found."

Little Ruohan shook her little head with an air of an experienced person as she spoke, her eyes twinkling with an unfathomable gleam.

"So how much is this treasure worth?"

Little Ruobin asked Lin Ruohan directly, and everyone else\'s faces showed anticipation. This was the question they were all most concerned about, even the always composed Lin Chao showed a look of eagerness.

Little Ruohan glanced at the crowd and raised three slender, white fingers.

"Thirty million?!"

Even the worldly Lin Family members couldn\'t help but bulge their eyes in disbelief.

Once again, the shocked gaze of the Lin Family members was directed at Su Chen, the haggardly dressed fellow. How could he have such a treasure?

At that moment, little Ruohan cleared her throat and spoke calmly,

"I\'m talking about US dollars."

"What, US dollars?"

"Thirty million US dollars?"

"Little Ruohan, you aren\'t just talking nonsense, are you?"

Upon hearing Lin Ruohan\'s words, Lin Chao\'s body jerked, and he stared blankly at Su Chen. Zhang Xinlan had just received the blue diamond from Lin Wenting, and at the mention of the staggering figure, she almost dropped it in shock, but fortunately, she was quick to catch it.

"Pfft, believe it or not, unworldly," Lin Ruohan muttered disdainfully.

The Lin family patriarch looked at Su Chen, then at his granddaughter, but said nothing, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhang Xinlan was now holding the diamond as if she were holding a bomb, uneasy and anxious. Thirty million US dollars, that\'s two hundred million Huaxia currency! She had never seen so much money in her entire life.

As far as she knew, Lin Corporation\'s total assets amounted to no more than twenty-three billion, with liquid funds probably only amounting to three to five billion.

"Su Chen, I really can\'t accept this thing. It\'s too, too, too precious," Zhang Xinlan said as she put the blue diamond back into the cloth bag and handed it to Su Chen, "This item is so valuable, you shouldn\'t carry it with you. It\'s best kept in a bank\'s safe deposit box."

For her, the son-in-law\'s belongings were, of course, her daughter\'s as well. Seeing Su Chen carrying it so casually, she was extremely worried.

"Mom, don\'t listen to the little girl\'s nonsense. It\'s not real; I bought it at a high imitation store for two thousand yuan. It\'s just made to look very realistic," Su Chen explained with a light smile, appearing very casual, "Look at me, do I look like someone who would have something so valuable?"

"Of course not, that\'s clearly..."

Lin Ruohan retorted without thinking, but halfway through her sentence, she felt Su Chen stealthily kick her under the table and give her a subtle glare. She promptly shut her mouth.

"Really?" Zhang Xinlan asked, still skeptical.

"Of course, look, even if I were sold, I wouldn\'t fetch that much money," Su Chen said, allowing a bitter smile to appear at the corners of his mouth.

Su Chen\'s acting was spot on, and since everyone already found it hard to believe that he possessed something so valuable, they easily believed his words. Zhang Xinlan then reassuredly put the cloth bag away.

"I thought so! How could he have something so valuable?"

"Exactly, looking at him, it\'s just not possible. I bet even the two thousand yuan is an exaggeration," one remarked.

"That\'s right, luckily, he\'s a decent person, quite honest."

"Honest? He\'s probably just scared that someone knowledgeable might expose him later, which would be even more embarrassing," another added.

The Lin family members were suddenly abuzz with conversation, and the previously repressed atmosphere sparked to life once more.

The elder members of the first and second branches visibly sighed in relief, looking at Su Chen with renewed disdain.

Lin Wenting and Lin Ruoxue meanwhile were pondering as they watched Su Chen closely. They had been sitting right beside Su Chen and Lin Ruohan and had not missed the subtle exchanges between the two.

Su Chen sighed as he looked at the little girl pouting silently beside him. He had thought that the item he showed at the small Lin family gathering would go unrecognized.

To his surprise, none of the adults in the Lin family recognized it, but an eleven-year-old girl did.

"Don\'t be angry, little one. What gift do you want? Su Gorge will get it for you later," he said, affectionately scratching Lin Ruohan\'s cheek and smiling.

"Really?" The little girl\'s watery eyes immediately sparkled brightly upon hearing his words.

"Of course. You think I would deceive a little girl like you?"

"Then I don\'t want a gift," Lin Ruohan said, tilting her head after a moment\'s thought, "I want you to promise to do something for me."

"What is it?" Su Chen was a bit puzzled. What could this little girl need him to do?

But Lin Ruohan simply shook her head, "I can\'t tell you now, but you have to promise me first."

Seeing the pleading look in the little girl\'s eyes, Su Chen was moved and blurted out, "Okay, Su Gorge promises you!"

"Then let\'s pinky swear!" Lin Ruohan said seriously, extending her plump little pinky.

Su Chen couldn\'t help but laugh but still extended his finger to hook hers.

"Pinky swear, hang myself from a tree, a hundred years, promise won\'t flee!"

The little girl\'s childish voice rang out, her expression earnest.

Lin Wenting and Lin Ruoxue, watching this scene unfold, found it entertaining and chuckled behind their hands.

"You look so much better when you smile like this. Always having a cold face, people will think you\'ve hit menopause prematurely!" Su Chen commented when he saw Lin Ruoxue smiling, clearly dazzled by her.

"You\'re the one going through menopause. Your whole family is going through menopause," Lin Ruoxue retorted, her briefly lightened mood completely dispelled by Su Chen\'s remark...
