Chapter 138 Choosing Diamonds

As Shen Yao spoke, she reached out to stroke Shen Wancheng's arm.

Shen Wancheng slapped her hand away.

"Like a lecher."

Shen Yao chuckled and withdrew her hand.

Shen Wancheng thought of Gu Jinxing's arrangement and said to Shen Yao.

“I didn’t think this through beforehand. I only told you that it’s late spring or early summer in South Africa, but I didn’t say what kind of clothes to wear. Go ask Cora to borrow a set of clothes. For the next few days in South Africa, you will be just like Cora, serving as our… Gu Jinxing’s bodyguard.”

Shen Yao was taken aback, not understanding Shen Wancheng's intention in asking her to do this, but she still nodded and replied, "Okay."

After Shen Yao changed her clothes and ate, the plane arrived over Johannesburg.

A 13-hour flight would be tiring even in first class on a regular commercial airline.

But traveling by private jet means you can just take a nap and arrive.

Even when Shen Wancheng became Xu Pingtao's granddaughter, she didn't feel this strongly at this moment: it's really good to be rich.

The plane landed.

Gu Jinxing had already arranged for a car to pick them up from the airport.

It's still a Lincoln limousine.

Sitting in the car, Shen Wancheng, like Shen Yao, was very curious about this South African city.

Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa, known as the "City of Gold," and is also the country's economic center.

Looking at the city through the car window, Shen Wancheng observed that the city's prosperity was even greater than that of Hong Kong Island at that time, judging from its architecture, vehicles, and pedestrians.

Looking at the modern cityscape, Shen Wancheng's excitement and curiosity about going abroad for the first time subsided.

The car soon arrived at the Hilton Hotel, which Gu Jinxing had booked in advance.

This world-renowned hotel chain was already considered luxuriously decorated in the 80s.

The hotel room's decor and furnishings were even better than the hotels Shen Wancheng had stayed in during the 21st century, except that it lacked electronic devices such as computers and mobile phones.

It was 2 PM local time.

Today is my first day in Johannesburg, and I haven't made any plans.

Shen Wancheng and her group rested at the hotel for an hour before deciding to go out for a stroll.

But at that time, the tourism industry in various countries had not yet taken off, and there was no internet to plan trips, so people didn't know where to go if they wanted to go out for a stroll.

Finally, we only drove around Johannesburg twice before returning to the hotel.

This completely extinguished the last bit of novelty between Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao.

For dinner, Liu's mother went to the kitchen to oversee the South African cuisine prepared by the hotel chef.

Aunt Liu was mainly worried that the chef would use ingredients that Shen Wancheng couldn't eat, so she supervised the whole process.

The hotel chef prepared a very lavish dinner.

There are Cape Town lobsters, tuna, South African beef jerky, South African roast meat, and foie gras, which is very popular among Westerners.

The main dish is a beef burger.

The dinner was actually quite good, but neither Shen Wancheng nor Shen Yao found it particularly special, nor did they feel like they wanted to eat the next meal.

So Shen Wancheng directly told Aunt Liu that she should let her use the hotel kitchen to cook Chinese food for the next meal.

On the second day after arriving in Johannesburg, Gu Jinxing arranged for Shen Wancheng to meet a diamond merchant.

They arranged to meet at the diamond merchant's estate.

The estate is located in the suburbs of Johannesburg and occupies a vast area, making it clear at a glance that the owner is very wealthy.

As soon as their car entered the estate, a slightly overweight middle-aged man in a suit came to greet them.

In this remote city, Gu Jinxing stopped pretending to be "lame".

He got out of the car and shook hands and hugged the man in the suit.

"Mr. Gu, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've long admired your reputation."

"Hello, Mr. Klin."

After greeting Gu Jinxing, Kelin was about to greet Shen Wancheng.

Gu Jinxing reached out and put his arm around Shen Wancheng's waist, pulling her into his embrace to avoid Kelin's outstretched hand.

"Sorry, I don't like other people touching my female companion."

Hearing Gu Jinxing's words, not only was Kelin surprised, but Shen Wancheng also glanced at Gu Jinxing in surprise.

Thinking to myself, "This guy is really direct. Is he playing the domineering CEO?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Klin withdrew his hand and said with a smile.

"It seems Mr. Gu likes her very much."

"Yeah, she's my favorite lately."

Gu Jinxing's two sentences imply that Shen Wancheng is the woman he likes most right now, but he doesn't guarantee that he will always like her. When he likes her, he absolutely won't allow anyone else to touch her, but once he doesn't like her anymore, he'll be more lenient.

In other words, Shen Wancheng is not important to Gu Jinxing, but you can't touch her now.

Klin understood.

He smiled and avoided the topic.

“I have prepared the diamond that Mr. Gu wanted over the phone. Let me take you into the hall to see it.”

Gu Jinxing and Shen Wancheng followed Kelin into the living room of the manor villa.

A leather suitcase was placed on the coffee table in the living room.

Klin walked over and opened the suitcase.

The suitcase was full of diamonds, colored diamonds at that.

Although these diamonds have not been polished yet, they are only semi-finished products.

However, under the light, many gaps reflected colorful light.

Even without a close look, it's clear that this batch of diamonds is of very high quality.

Klin handed Gu Jinxing a magnifying glass and a spotlight.

"Mr. Gu, please take a look. I'll grind some coffee for you now. It's made with coffee beans grown on my own estate."

Gu Jinxing nodded to Kelin, "Thank you for your trouble."

This is to give Gu Jinxing space to examine the diamonds on his own.

Shen Wancheng stayed by Gu Jinxing's side, but she did not examine the diamonds.

He simply lowered his voice and asked Gu Jinxing in Cantonese.

"What is the quality of the diamond?"

Gu Jinxing was still looking down at the diamonds, so from the side he couldn't see that he was talking.

"not bad."

Shen Wancheng suddenly switched to English.

"Are these stones really diamonds? They're not pretty at all."

Gu Jinxing replied in English.

"What do you know? If these diamonds were polished and given to you, you'd be overjoyed with just one."

As he spoke, Gu Jinxing used a magnifying glass to shine a light on a diamond for Shen Wancheng.

"Look at the color showing through this one, do you like it?"

Shen Wancheng glanced at it with a curious expression.

"like."

Gu Jinxing raised an eyebrow, "You like it? I'll give it to you."

Shen Wancheng suddenly leaned forward and kissed Gu Jinxing on the cheek.

"Thank you."

Shen Wancheng only thought that acting should be as realistic as possible, and didn't think there was anything wrong with kissing someone on the cheek.

But Gu Jinxing was so startled by her sudden action that he almost dropped the diamond on the table, revealing its contents.

Gu Jinxing gave Shen Wancheng a deep look before speaking.

"See if there's any other diamond you like, and I'll give you another one."

Shen Wancheng said with delighted surprise, "Okay, but you can't go back on your word."

After saying that, Shen Wancheng openly began to examine the diamonds herself.

A few minutes later, Klin returned to the living room with three cups of coffee.

He saw Shen Wancheng examining the rough diamonds and semi-finished products, and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Gu, does your female companion also know how to appraise diamond quality?"
