"1 like it." After deciding on the rings, the two got up and headed out of the VIP room.
The sales advisor had already taken Alexander's card to check out the rings while Alexander was on his phone, talking business.
Other customers looked at jewelry in the store, and Lily left first.
"Mom, | think this looks good.It doesn’t necessarily need to be a jade ring.Diamond rings are fine too." "You youngsters know nothing about rings.Gold is valuable, and jade is priceless.No matter how expensive diamond rings are, how could they compare to jades?" The old lady sounded displeased.
Lily did not listen in on their conversation, but they captured her attention because what they said was too surprising.

For them to compare the rings and insist that jade rings were better than diamond rings in such a store would make things awkward for the sales advisors.It would make those customers who came to purchase diamond rings feel uncomfortable too.
"All right then.I know you prefer jade rings, but there isn’t anything like that here, is there? Since that's the case, why don’t you look around and see if you like anything else? Ralph is getting married next month, so you need to be well-dressed, don’t you?"

"Look at this, and this too.This ring looks great, doesn’t it? It suits your demeanor well, too," the sales advisor suggested.
"They're no great shakes." The old lady snorted, obviously dissatisfied.
"Do you guys have any pink diamond rings or sapphire rings? Show them to me.Anyhow, | want something different from others." "We have them, but the prices are..." The sales advisors would remind the customers about the prices subtly should the rings be too costly.

Such words might sometimes offend certain customers, especially those with great pride.
They would feel humiliated, as what was happening right now.
"What are you trying to say? What's with the price? Do you think | can’t afford it?" The old lady raised her voice, attracting the other customers’ attention.
"Exactly! What the h*Il are you guys saying? Do you know who my mom is?" The middle-aged woman was displeased as well.
"We're from the Russell family.Have you heard of La Beauté Group before?" Lily widened her eyes, wondering if she had heard things wrong.
‘Russell family? La Beauté Group? Could there be another Russell family who owns a company with the same name?’ "I'm sorry.l made a mistake.I-I'll bring the rings to you now," the sales advisor apologized and hurried to retrieve the expensive diamond rings.

"Hey, Grandma.Hey, Aunt Celine."
