C7 The Secret of the Diamond Necklace

Lin Youmu did not come back to her senses until she returned to Shen Sibai's incomparably luxurious house with a sea view.

Was he... helping her?

"Why are you willing to help me?" Lin Youmu asked carefully.

She had thought that Shen Sibai would at most use his connections to save someone. She did not expect him to pay six million yuan to save someone who had nothing to do with him.

"Don't think too much." Shen Sibai walked slowly into the bedroom and unbuttoned his shirt. "I already have a headache from having a little piece of trash like you. I don't want another useless husband. Just thinking about it makes me sick."

He rescued Liang Deyang and warned him not to harass Lin Youmu again. For six million, he bought Lin Youmu peace and quiet.

Lin Youmu realized that Shen Sibai also had a stubborn side to him.

She smiled and asked again, "Then why did you defend me in front of Liang Xiaoluo? She's a beautiful piece of trash. If you don't like her, you don't have to humiliate her, right?"

Shen Sibai was stunned for a moment.

What a joke! How could I protect you?

"Are you not leaving yet? Do you want to sleep here and repay me? Shen Sibai shot a cold glance at her, scaring Lin Youmu so much that she turned to leave.

"No, no, I'll be leaving first. Good night, Mr. Shen."

After settling the family matters, Lin Youmu devoted herself to Shen Sibai. She made two phone calls and checked Gu Feifei's background to make sure it was clean.

Gu Feifei was really something. At the age of twenty-five, she became a famous psychiatrist and opened her own counseling office for people in the upper class. Her brother, Gu Jingming, was a genius painter. Many people paid a lot of money to ask for his help. Their parents had passed away a long time ago, and the siblings had relied on their outstanding talent to reach where they were today.

Furthermore, she also had a hobby of collecting art. She liked pearls, gems, diamonds, and jade. This was very similar to Shen Sibai.

Most likely, rich people liked to play with jewelry.

Not long after, Gu Feifei arrived as promised.

"Miss Gu, are you here to get the contract?" Although she didn't like Gu Feifei very much, Lin Youmu tried her best to maintain a smile. "The contract is ready. Just sign it."

"Where's Mr. Shen?" Gu Feifei walked in with cat steps and sat down on the sofa, ignoring Lin Youmu again.

Lin Youmu took out the contract. "Mr. Shen is in a meeting at the company and won't be able to see you for a while. If you need anything, just let me know."

"Tsk," Gu Feifei's delicate nose made a dull sound. "Since Sibai isn't here, why would I let a small fry like you sign a contract with me? I'll be waiting. I have something to give him."

Gu Feifei crossed her legs and fiddled with the books on the table. They were all about finance, and she wasn't interested in any of them. As she read, she would change to another book and make a mess of it.

Shen Sibai hated it when others touched his things the most. Lin Youmu took a deep breath and said calmly, "Miss Gu, Mr. Shen will probably talk until very late. Why don't you give me the things and I'll pass them on to him?"

Gu Feifei looked up and down at the assistant and then looked at her watch.

"Alright, he left something at my house two days ago." Gu Feifei took a diamond ring off her finger. It had to be at least five carats big. "He was so careless to leave such a valuable ring on my bedside table..."

Gu Feifei seemed to have said something incredible and quickly covered her mouth. "I didn't say anything."

Lin Youmu silently took the ring and kept it.

This was Shen Sibai's diamond ring. It had never left her side, so how could it be in Gu Feifei's house?

Could it be that on the night of the banquet, the two of them...

"I remember that Miss Lin also has a diamond necklace, right?" Gu Feifei smiled charmingly. "Ah, yes, that's the one around your neck. Can I take a look at it?"

Slavic diamonds hung on Lin Youmu's fair neck.

But she had no idea how expensive this diamond was. All she knew was that when Shen Sibai gave her the diamond, he told her not to show it to anyone else and to take good care of it.

"No," Lin Youmu rejected Gu Feifei directly, "I'm sorry, but I can't show it to you."

Gu Feifei did not expect an assistant to dare to speak to her like that, so she could not help but feel very angry.

"What's wrong with me taking a look? It's not like I'll spoil it!"

After Shen Sibai finished talking about business, he invited his partner to his house for a gathering. The two of them chatted about the company's affairs as they walked. They were on good terms.

However, as soon as they entered the house, they heard a commotion.

Shen Sibai frowned and quickly walked towards the hall.

Lin Youmu held her neck tightly while Gu Feifei raised her hand in anger.

"Who do you think you are?" A blush appeared on Gu Feifei's beautiful face, which was her reaction when she was enraged. "Is a diamond worth that much? And you're still holding it and not letting me see it. Who do you think you are? You're just one of Shen Sibai's..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her raised arm was gripped by a pair of strong hands. Gu Feifei was about to turn around and shake him off, but she was stunned by what she saw.

"Jingming, why are you here?"

Gu Jingming wore a light gray suit that fit him perfectly, and his temperament of a young genius was natural. If she hadn't known that his parents had died, Lin Youmu would have thought that he was a noble young master from some family.

"Sister, don't be angry. Why did you have a conflict with Miss Lin?" Gu Jingming slowly lowered Gu Feifei's hand and avoided her shocked gaze." Mr. Shen and I have just finished discussing the cooperation matters. From now on, we will be in the same company. Sister, please leave some leeway."

Only then did Lin Youmu understand that Shen Sibai had gone to discuss business with Gu Jingming.

She recalled that Shen Sibai had once said that the financial business of the Shen's was the best, but it also needed support from other fields. It would be beneficial to the Shen's if they could rope in a famous genius artist as a work of art.

After leaving the Shen family's manor, Gu Feifei could not help but reveal a trace of coldness on her face.

"Jingming, why are you stopping me?"

The Maybach's seat was exceptionally comfortable and did not feel the slightest bit bumpy. As Gu Jingming drove, his slender fingers gently tapped on the steering wheel.

"Mr. Shen is here. How can you have the nerve to make a move?"

"Lin Youmu is just a little assistant. If I hit her, then so be it. How can Shen Sibai give up on me because of her?"

After Shen Sibai had fallen ill that day, Gu Feifei had given him a full psychological counseling, and he felt much better. Would he abandon someone who could cure him?

"Jingming, don't fall in love with Lin Youmu, right?"

Facing his sister's suspicious gaze, Gu Jingming burst out laughing, "Sister, don't joke around. I've only met her three times, how could I like her? Besides, didn't you tell me to get close to her?"

Gu Feifei snorted coldly. "That's right. Don't forget who took your place. You're the one who should have been sitting in the chair of the CEO of Shen's Group!"

"I won't forget, don't worry. Today's contract went very well. After the handover next week, we'll be able to enter the Shen's Group."

"Yes," Gu Feifei nodded in satisfaction. "Well done."

"Why do you insist on looking at Lin Youmu's necklace?" Gu Jingming asked.

"Her diamond..." Gu Feifei narrowed her eyes. "Ordinary people wouldn't be able to tell, but I can tell that it's the same as Shen Sibai's diamond ring. I found a mechanism on Shen Sibai's diamond ring, but I couldn't open it. I wanted to see if there was any on Lin Youmu's necklace.

"I always feel that there is an unspeakable secret in this diamond ring and necklace."
