Chapter 1227: Exposing the True Culprit
"Mu Qianyuan, you..."
"I can guarantee that every word I say is true."
Yan Xinxin responded calmly, looking at the two young women targeting her.
"Ladies, if you don’t understand these basics, I can tell you, but you can’t shamelessly flaunt your ignorance in public."
"..."
"You..."
"It’s true that moissanite is more brilliant than real diamonds, but it doesn’t hold its value like diamonds do. The sparkle of a diamond is permanent, whereas moissanite’s shine fades over time."
Yan Xinxin calmly explained the difference between the two, then walked from the crowd to the counter, her sharp eyes scanning the diamond pendants displayed in the glass cabinet.
"I can be quite certain that this batch is all moissanite, not real diamonds."
"Mu Qianyuan, you, you’re simply spouting nonsense!"
Xiao Yiran burst into a rage, charging towards Yan Xinxin, just as Mo Chuxi’s hand swiftly reached out to grab him.
"Xiao Yiran, you never change, as the saying goes, ’You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.’"
"..."
"The prestigious Xiao Group actually uses moissanite instead of real diamonds to deceive consumers while disguising it as a discount to boost sales. Your idea is truly clever."
"Mo Chuxi, you’re talking nonsense! Your wife is spouting nonsense too! I obviously used genuine diamonds! How could they possibly turn out to be fake!"
Xiao Yiran denied.
"Listen up, Xiao Yiran. My wife is not only a jewelry designer but also a professional jewelry appraiser! She can tell at a glance whether it’s genuine or fake!"
Mo Chuxi vouched for Yan Xinxin, simultaneously throwing Xiao Yiran’s hand off with force.
Seeing this, Xiao Yize quickly moved to support Xiao Yiran, who almost fell.
After all, he was his own brother; Xiao Yize couldn’t just ignore it.
Once Xiao Yiran steadied himself, he immediately grabbed Xiao Yize’s hand.
"Ah Ze! Say something for your brother. In front of so many people, you can’t let Mo Chuxi and his wife slander your big brother!"
He looked extremely aggrieved, his expression anxious and tense.
"Ah Ze, the design of this pendant was your handiwork. You even discussed with me what materials to use, and it was your suggestion to use 18-point purity diamonds in the end. How could it possibly turn into moissanite now!"
Seeing Xiao Yiran like this, Xiao Yize raised his gaze to Mo Chuxi.
"Indeed, that’s true. This pendant was indeed designed by me."
"Even so, even if he discussed it with you, when finalizing, real diamonds could have been swapped for moissanite."
"Mo Chuxi! It seems like you’re determined to oppose me today, aren’t you?"
"The one who’s been keen on opposing me has always been you, Mr. Xiao."
"You..."
"Big brother, stop arguing."
Xiao Yize interjected.
"Although I don’t know exactly what happened in between, Chuxi and Xinxin are right. This batch is indeed all moissanite, not real diamonds."
"..."
Xiao Yiran was dumbfounded for a few seconds, not expecting Xiao Yize to be so direct.
"Ah Ze, you..."
"Oh my gosh! No way!"
"I looked it up, and moissanite is just a semi-precious stone that could be mistaken for the real thing! And all moissanite on the market is artificially synthesized!"
"No way! It really is fake!"
"I thought such a large conglomerate wouldn’t deceive people! Now it makes sense why it’s so cheap! A one-carat diamond pendant, and it’s even a pave setting, only two thousand bucks, I thought I had found a bargain! And all that talk about selling at a loss to benefit the public, turns out it’s all a scam!"
"Unethical merchants! Refund!"
"Refund quickly!"
