Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System

Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Consider it a future gift contribution.

“What? You’re giving them to us?” Hearing this, the girls were instantly unsettled.

The pink diamond necklace Jiang Yi had weighed 64.21 carats and was named Pink Sweetheart. No one had appraised it, but on November 17, 2010, Switzerland auctioned off a 24.78-carat pink diamond named Fancy Intense Pink for a sky-high price of 45.6 million US Dollars.

As for Zhang Meng’s, it was a pair of purple diamond earrings, each weighing 35.41 carats and 36.11 carats, worth several times more than the pair he originally gifted the Princess of England.

The blue diamond pendant Zhang Shiyu picked was even larger than the Heart of the Ocean, so naturally, the price was imaginable.

“Of course, I’m not someone who values romantic relationships over friendships, you guys can pick one too. Even if you don’t use it, your future girlfriends will!” Fang Jueyu emphasized, “But there’s one thing, you can’t sell it. If anyone sells it, I’ll be really upset!”

“Old Fang, are you running a fever?” Shao Zhou extended a hand to touch Fang Jueyu’s forehead. “Are you sure about this? These aren’t just some worthless stones, they’re diamonds! Diamonds!”

They didn’t know the exact price of these diamond accessories, but judging by their color and size, and the fact that they were displayed on the fourth floor of the museum, they had to be worth at least tens of millions of US Dollars, if not over a billion.

It’s true that they had a close relationship with Fang Jueyu. If he casually gave them gifts worth a few thousand dollars, they would accept them. But such expensive things, even accepting them made them feel uneasy.

As the saying goes, “A man without a vice is a man with a virtue,” their modest goals as ordinary citizens were merely to buy a house in a big city like Jiangnan City. Such things were too far out of reach for them, and they feared attracting thieves if they brought these treasures home.

“I know these are diamonds, but to me, they’re not much different from stones. Just sitting here, they’re mere decorations. Not wearing such beautiful things would be a waste,” Fang Jueyu had a genuinely indifferent attitude.

Diamonds are indeed scarce on Earth, but after learning about the origins of that basketball-sized blue diamond, he couldn’t muster any interest in them.

Speaking of money, he was already the wealthiest person in the world. The entire diamond mine was worth just a few hundred billion, and with a simple raid on the foreign exchange market, he could easily make a few trillion. Anytime he wanted, he could form a company, earning money far quicker than selling diamonds.

As for cultivation, these weren’t precious Energy Gems like Sage Crystals. If he wanted to, he could directly buy a spaceship through the Space-Time Store and dig out a large chunk from Uranus or Neptune. He just didn’t believe he couldn’t buy equipment that could withstand such extreme temperatures and pressures.

So, it’s not like he was being wasteful; the level at which he stood had completely changed his perspective. To ordinary people, buying a car worth two or three hundred thousand was a big deal, but to those who played with supercars, that amount wasn’t even enough for maintenance.

The significance of diamonds to Fang Jueyu was like a car worth two or three hundred thousand to supercar enthusiasts. They genuinely held no attraction for him. If they could make his friends happy, it would actually bring him more joy.

“How about this, if you really feel bad accepting them, consider it an early wedding gift from me, how about that?” Fang Jueyu suggested.

“You call this a wedding gift? Who else in the world could give such a gift? I’ll take your last name!”

“So do you want it or not? If not, I’ll smash it!” Fang Jueyu lifted the necklace Jiang Yi had worn earlier and made a gesture as if to throw it to the ground.

Diamonds are indeed hard, but hardness and brittleness aren’t mutually exclusive. Such a large diamond would definitely shatter upon impact, and even if it could be polished later, its value would significantly drop.

“Whoa! Are you serious?”

Fang Jueyu held his hand high above his head, as if he really wasn’t joking.

“Alright, alright, we’ll take them. Wasting treasures would definitely bring about divine retribution!” Seeing Fang Jueyu’s firm stance, the girls quickly conceded.

Even though they said they didn’t want them, loving beautiful things was in their nature, and of course, they hoped to own such diamond jewelry. It was just that their morals and education held them back.

“Hehe, that’s better. Take them, they aren’t anything precious to me. I have several such mines! Right, Mr. Monchi?”

“Yes, indeed, everyone, Young Master has 17 large diamond mines in Africa and countless smaller ones. To my knowledge, the number of diamond mines he owns worldwide exceeds one hundred. While these diamonds are precious, they are insignificant to him.”

Monchi was also somewhat astonished by Fang Jueyu’s generosity. Diamonds of such size and color were rare treasures anywhere, and this was practically Fang Jueyu’s personal diamond vault. Princes and princesses would envy those, and here he was, just giving them away?

Of course, he was merely someone in charge. Fang Jueyu was the young master, so he did as the young master instructed. Moreover, Fang Jueyu’s words weren’t just empty boasts. To him, these few strands weren’t much more valuable than stones.

To put it bluntly, if Fang Jueyu were a woman, he could wear a different diamond necklace and earrings every day for several years without repeating.

“These two strands will do!” Fang Jueyu picked two diamond pendants weighing over 40 carats each. “Remember, when picking a girlfriend and wife, think it over thoroughly. I only give this once, and if you lose it and your wife runs away, don’t come back asking me!”

“Hahaha, with such a generous gift, we must find reliable partners!”

“I wonder what background Young Master’s friends have to receive such extravagant gifts so effortlessly.” In Monchi’s mind, he had already deemed Jiang Yi and the others to be the offspring of significant figures.

If he knew these people were just his high school classmates, he would probably be overrun with countless thoughts.

“Mr. Monchi, please have these jewels packaged, otherwise carrying them would be too extravagant.”

“Yes, Young Master, I’ll make arrangements immediately.”

“Also, pick some rings that fit their sizes. Since these items can’t be used daily, help me get some wearable accessories for them, nothing too extravagant.”

“Understood, Young Master!”

“Whoa, do you have some sort of strange obsession?”

“Hahaha, maybe Boss Fang intends to supply all our future jewelry?”

“Don’t want it? Then I won’t give it to you!”

“We’ll take it! Only a fool wouldn’t want it!” After receiving diamond jewelry worth billions, the smaller items, which were worth just a few tens of thousands of dollars, seemed trivial, and they weren’t as concerned.

“Tsk tsk tsk, I actually regret not clinging to you more!” Jiang Yi was naturally bold and spoke without reservation when she was happy.

“Don’t say that, if I were a woman, I couldn’t resist wanting to sleep with Old Fang!” Wang Chao looked at Fang Jueyu flirtatiously.

“Get outta here! If you two want to pick up soap, just do it yourselves, don’t drag me into it!”

“Hey, you didn’t say that last time in bed!”

“What? What did I just hear?”

“Last time we were out on an internship, there were no extra rooms, so we had to squeeze into one bed. Don’t get the wrong idea!”

“Hahaha!”
