Substitute Bride's Husband Is An Invisible Rich Man Chapter 72 – Diamond Scam  

“What? Mo Yan, your husband can't even bear to buy you a diamond ring? Even if he can't buy such a big one, you should at least have a small one!”

Not only did the short-haired woman's words not provoke Mo Yan, it instead reminded her of the bracelet that was worth a million dollars.

Mo Yan smiled and said to the woman, “I don't have a diamond ring because I don't like diamonds.”

“You don't like it? You mean you can't afford it, right?” The short-haired woman replied quickly, causing the surrounding people to snicker. They were all laughing at Mo Yan.

Mo Yan followed the crowd and lowered her head to laugh. She said neither too fast nor too slow, “Have you heard of the Diamond Scam?”

“What?” The short-haired woman suddenly raised her voice.

“When diamonds were first discovered, due to the scarcity of production and the difficulty of mining, its price remained high. After all, everything in the world is valued for its rarity. However, in the late 19th century, workers discovered a diamond vein in South Africa that had tens of millions of carats.”

At this point, Mo Yan raised her head and smiled at the short-haired woman.

Those who knew the story glanced at Mo Yan, then glanced at the short-haired woman and silently returned to their seats.

The short-haired woman was obviously not one of those who knew. She was still waiting for Mo Yan to continue.

Mo Yan did not disappoint her and finished her sentence.

“After the diamond vein was discovered, the diamond merchants at that time panicked. They were afraid that diamonds would fall from rare to scrap. So, a company gritted their teeth and bought the entire vein. They strictly controlled the number of diamonds produced, giving the impression that diamonds were scarce. And the most brilliant thing about this company was that it turned diamonds into a symbol of love. This was also the origin of the saying, ‘Diamonds are forever, a diamond can forever be passed down.'”

By the time Mo Yan finished speaking, the office was completely silent. The short-haired woman gripped the ring on her ring finger tightly and glared at Mo Yan. “You're just jealous! Whether it's valuable or not, it's a symbol of one's heart. If your husband can't afford it, then he should just say that he can't afford it. What's all this nonsense?”

“Oh, I see. I didn't expect your feelings to be so fragile. Every day, you wear your diamond ring around and show it off to everyone just to prove that your husband loves you.” Mo Yan's expression did not change, but she did not hold back in her words.

“You! You! If you have so much to say, ask your husband to buy you one too.”

“That might not work. My husband said that diamonds are not valuable and it's useless to buy them. He said that if one day I don't like him anymore, it would be better to be able to sell the thing than give it back to him.”

Mo Yan did not feel guilty at all. After all, she and Luo Tao were husband and wife, and Luo Tao had given her the bracelet. She could do whatever she wanted with it.

The short-haired woman almost rolled her eyes in anger at Mo Yan. Her husband had been married before, and he was not young either. The short-haired woman was often said to be a third wheel.

However, the man was not stupid. Before their marriage, he had already notarized his property and only bought the short-haired woman a diamond ring with a significant number of grams. The short-haired woman originally thought that it would be fine to not get anything else, but hearing what Mo Yan said gave her conflicted feelings.

Seeing that the short-haired woman was speechless, someone shouted at Mo Yan, “You've said so much, but I haven't seen your husband buy anything for you. Wait till your husband buys you something before talking about others!”

This person was someone who easily believed the rumors that she heard.

Unexpectedly, Mo Yan nodded her head with an indifferent expression and said, “That's fine too. I've never been willing to wear the bracelet that Luo Tao gave me. That's why you guys misunderstand my relationship with my husband. I'll wear it tomorrow so you guys can take a look!”

“Bracelet? It better not be some gold or silver bracelet!” That person laughed mockingly, and then said, “Those are really cheap compared to diamonds.”

Mo Yan glanced at the person who spoke, and it was one of the people who spoke ill of her behind her back. Mo Yan shook the recording pen in her hand, smiled and said, “Be careful of what you say. You don't want to stab yourself in the back.”

For the whole morning, Group A's office was full of petty talk. Everyone's clearest understanding was that Mo Yan was not to be trifled with.

Especially those who were recorded by Mo Yan, they could only suppress their anger. It would be bad if Mo Yan were to send the recording to the company or complain to their leader. After all, no one liked people who gossiped behind other people's backs.

Seeing that the office had quieted down, Mo Yan could not help but heave a sigh of relief in her heart.

Although she thought that her life would still not be easy in the future, what she did today served as a warning to everyone not to mess with her.
