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.

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.
“How beautiful, so beautiful...”
The old couple did not really know the price of jewels, but they only knew that diamonds were expensive. Six thousand to them was acceptable. The old couple only had a budget of about a hundred thousand, and they expected to get a very good diamond with that. i????????r????????????． ????????m

He pleaded with Shen Qianshu and insisted on paying the remaining amount. The old couple fulfilled their dream, and that was a good thing. Often, great things could not be bought.
“Let’s split.” After the old couple left, Shen Qianshu wanted to split the bill with Li Zhiyuan. “After all, it was my problem. It’s not nice of me to make you pay for it.”
How would Li Zhiyuan agree? It was a rare opportunity for him to perform in front of Shen Qianshu.
“Thirty years of unwavering love and support. How touching! This money was well spent. The most beautiful thing in the world is unwavering love and support for one another like this. Their actions moved me. It was all worth it.”
“Little CEO Li has more money than sense. Let him do whatever he wants,” the shop owner said jokingly as he covered his mouth and laughed. He had seen many customers come and go. Naturally, he could see Li Zhiyuan’s sincerity.
Shen Qianshu glared at him and diverted the conversation. “Did your shop hit the jackpot lately?”
“Speaking of this, I was going to look for you! Recently, I received two jewels. Come over and take a look.” the owner led Shen Qianshu to the VIP guest room and took out an emerald and a yellow spinel. “They both have GIA appraisals. This emerald was taken in at a price of two hundred thousand. The spinel, sixty thousand. Recently, I heard some rumors that there was a batch of jewels containing a mixture of real and fake that had entered the Spring Court Fair. I’m afraid that we were cheated. The goods came from a partner from Brazil that I’ve worked with for years. Please help me to appraise them.”
