Xu Group, ranking among the top 500 in the nation and one of the leading companies in Shanghai City, had a presence in various fields throughout the city, with its businesses spread across the entire country.
As for Xu Zhi, he was a renowned young master in Shanghai, both handsome and wealthy. Countless socialites had sent him secret glances, though it was well-known in the elite circles of Binhai City that Xu Zhi was dedicated to one woman.
That was none other than Miss Yu, Yu Ningxue!
"They say Xu Zhi is the number one suitor of Miss Yu. It seems it’s true. His father, Xu Hu, is such a significant figure that even the mayor has to show him respect. In his presence, the other suitors of Miss Yu seem quite inferior..."
"Haha, Master Yu is really blessed. With such a daughter, she’s enchanted so many young scions from our city. In the end, she could just pick any one of them to be a wealthy son-in-law!"
Faced with Xu Zhi’s praise, Yu Ningxue merely smiled faintly, "Thank you, Zhi."
Xu Zhi, long accustomed to Yu Ningxue’s demeanor, smiled and pulled a small box from his pocket.
Xu Zhi said, "Last time when I traveled abroad, I visited a famous foreign gemstone craftsman. I commissioned him to make a diamond necklace for you."
As Xu Zhi spoke, he opened the small box in his hand, attracting the crowd’s attention.
Inside was a gold square crystal necklace. The links were intricately carved, a masterpiece by all means.
Each section of the necklace was adorned with dazzling diamonds that sparkled under the lights. Even one piece alone would be worth a fortune.
"Wow!!"
Upon opening the box, the surrounding socialites immediately shrieked. Everyone present came from prominent families, so the mere surprise this diamond necklace induced signified its extraordinary nature.
Numerous girls enviously gazed at Yu Ningxue. In their eyes, Xu Zhi was practically a prince. If he treated them that way, they would consider themselves extremely fortunate.
Many of Yu Ningxue’s other suitors around shook their heads helplessly upon seeing this.
These suitors were also young scions of wealthy families, but compared to Xu Zhi, they seemed a bit lacking. With a mountain like Xu Zhi blocking their path, it appeared they truly had no chance of winning her favor.
"Looking at this necklace, it wouldn’t be obtainable without spending several million, if not tens of millions."
"Xu Zhi really is extravagant. Women might be able to resist the allure of money, but they can’t resist the allure of diamonds!"
"Why is Xu Hu his father? He’s one of the most famous big shots in Shanghai City..."
Xu Zhi took out the necklace and walked up to Yu Ningxue, his gaze filled with admiration.
"The foreigners call it the Black Empress, but I found it too unflattering. It doesn’t suit your temperament—let’s call it Snow White instead?"
Yu Ningxue shook her head, declining Xu Zhi’s necklace.
Yu Ningxue graciously refused, "Zhi, thank you for your kindness, but I already have a boyfriend. If I were to accept your gift, I worry he might overthink."
"Oh? You have a boyfriend?" Clearly taken aback, Xu Zhi’s expression momentarily paused before he calmly asked.
There was a hint of lethal intent in his tone that went unnoticed.
"Would you mind introducing him? I’m quite intrigued by the man who has captivated Ningxue’s heart." Xu Zhi’s face flushed slightly, his tone filled with undeniable jealousy.
