The only reason why she was able to attend Jian Zhifei’s birthday party at all was because Bai Wenping was invited.

“Zhifei, this black dress that you’re wearing is absolutely beautiful and perfectly complements your skin tone,” Hua Shasha exclaimed.

Jian Zhifei remained aloof.

She was surrounded by many people, some of whom were her besties, while others were her servants.

One of her besties placed a string of pearls against her neck. “How about this one?”

Jian Zhifei took one look at it and shook her head. “Pearls make me look old,” she said.

“Then swap it with a gold chain,” the bestie promptly responded.

“Gold is what people in my Mummy’s generation wore. I wouldn’t be able to pull it off,” Jian Zhifei said, once again shaking her head.

The besties and servants fervently rummaged through the jewelry box.

Jian Zhifei had excellent taste, as evidenced by her immense collection of expensive jewelry.

Since it was her birthday, it was only natural that she’d want to look her best.

Her servant presented her with all her jewelry.

And she had a lot of exquisite jewelry.

Today, however, she couldn’t find anything outstanding in her collection that she’d want to accessorize her gown with.

Jian Zhifei’s beautiful brows furrowed as she looked at her bare neck.

After a long search, her besties and servants still couldn’t found anything suitable for her to wear.

“My neck is too bare. While this black dress is beautiful, without a suitable accessory…” Jian Zhifei uttered with a frown as she stood in front of the mirror.

Sensing that the time was right, Hua Shasha smiled and said, “Zhifei, you have a beautiful neck, slender and long like a white swan’s. However, without an accessory, you do look incomplete.”

Jian Zhifei’s frown deepened.

From the side, her bestie said, “Zhifei, if nothing else works, you might want to wear another dress…”

“Huh? Zhifei looks fantastic in this dress. How could she possibly wear something else?” Seizing the opportunity, Hua Shasha showed her the box in her hand and said, “I have a diamond necklace that would be perfect for your dress. It is a valuable necklace. Most befitting for a beauty like Miss Jian….”

That said, she opened the box.

As the satin encased box was opened, the diamond necklace nestling in it dazzled brilliantly as it was displayed in all its splendor before Jian Zhifei.

Jian Zhifei’s eyes gleamed. Ever since she was young, she had constantly been gifted with a lot of expensive jewelry, so she had seen it all.

But the design and quality of this diamond necklace presented before her was something that she’d never seen before.

The quality of the diamonds aside, just the design alone—simple yet elegant, elegant but simple—made it a piece to be treasured.

But Hua Shasha’s necklace was just a replica. Its diamonds and finish were no match to the real one.

But, because of its striking, captivating design, even Jian Zhifei was entranced by it at first sight.

Striking while the iron was hot, Hua Shasha added, “Zhifei, this necklace was given to me by a friend, so I can’t stand to part with it. However, it wouldn’t be a big deal for me to loan it to you for tonight to accent your dress and make your birthday a memorable one.”

Jian Zhifei definitely had no intention of accepting such an expensive gift from her, but borrowing it from her to wear for the night was something she would possibly do.

After all, she loved the dress that she had on, and this diamond necklace would be the perfect accessory for it.

But Jian Zhifei lifted an eyebrow and asked, “These diamonds, are they real? This is my birthday party, an important event. I don’t want to wear something that isn’t quality.”

“Not to worry. This is definitely genuine,” Hua Shasha responded with conviction. “Otherwise, exchange guaranteed.”

Eyeing the necklace’s elegant and unique design, Jian Zhifei knew that it was no ordinary piece, and any doubts that she might’ve had instantly disappeared.
