After that, Tao Zisheng and Shen Kaiqi hugged and kissed each other in the midst of their relatives and friends’ cheers. After the kiss, Shen Kaiqi leaned on Tao Zisheng’s chest, looking shy.

“It’s Kaiqi’s birthday. Tao Zisheng, what gift did you give her? Quickly let us see it. ” Shen Kaiqi’s friend said loudly.

Tao Zisheng laughed but did not say anything, and Shen Kaiqi was even more shy.

“Is it something we can’t know? Tao Zisheng, are you planning to give yourself to miss Shen? Then tonight, you guys…” One of Tao Zisheng’s friends joked.

“Don’t say nonsense, it’s going to cause misunderstandings.” After Tao zZsheng finished speaking, he looked at Shen Kaiqi, only to realize that she was not wearing her necklace today. He asked directly, “Where’s the diamond necklace I gave you? Why aren’t you wearing it?”

“I…” Shen Kaiqi looked like she wanted to say something but stopped.

Tao Zisheng frowned subconsciously and pulled her aside, saying sternly,””Kaiqi, don’t tell me you accidentally broke it again? My mom is still angry about the bracelet. ”

“Zisheng, I’m sorry…” Shen Kaiqi sobbed, and tears fell.

Tao Zisheng’s heart ached, but then he thought of something and said coldly, “That diamond necklace isn’t just my birthday gift to you. I bought it with the first sum of money I earned. It means a lot to me. I hope you treasure it, just like how you treasure our relationship…”

“Zisheng…” Shen Kaiqi cried and interrupted him. “I know that the necklace you gave me is very important and I really kept it well but I don’t know why it’s on Qianduo’s neck. I went to look for her, but she said that the necklace was hers… And that bracelet, I also carefully locked it in the closet, but then I ran to Qianduo’s room. When I found it, it was already broken…”

Tao Zisheng was shocked. “You’re saying that Qianduo broke the bracelet my mom gave you and stole the necklace I gave you?”

“I…” Shen Kaiqi shed tears of grievance. She did not say anything, it was Tao Zisheng’s own idea.

“I’ll go find her and ask her.” Tao Zisheng walked towards Shi Qianduo with a dark expression.

Shi Qianduo was chatting with Zhou Ting when Tao Zisheng and Shen Kaiqi suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Do you need something?” Shi Qianduo glanced at them indifferently.

Tao Zisheng had wanted to give her a chance to explain, but when he saw the diamond necklace on Shi Qianduo’s neck, he was instantly enraged. In his impression, Shi Qianduo had always been an innocent and cute little girl. Was he wrong about her? Or did her personality change after they broke up?

“Qianduo, I don’t want to pursue the bangle anymore, but I hope you can return the necklace I gave Kaiqi.” Tao Zisheng said with a dark face.

Shi Qianduo was confused. “Are you talking about the necklace my sister gave me?”

“You’re asking for something you’ve given away? Why? Is your Tao family going bankrupt soon?” Zhou Ting laughed.

Tao Zisheng subconsciously looked at Shen Kaiqi.

Shen Kaiqi’s eyes were full of tears. “Zisheng, I gave her the necklace, don’t make it hard on her.”

From Tao Zisheng’s point of view, Shen Kaiqi’s appearance was that of a compromise, wanting to keep the peace.

Tao Zisheng’s heart ached for her. When he looked at Shi Qianduo again, his eyes were cold. “I used to like you too, but that was not love! When I was with Kaiqi, I finally understood what love was. You can hate me, but please don’t hurt Kaiqi. Besides, the Shi family’s upbringing has always been very good. I hope you can respect others, but please conduct yourself with dignity. Don’t fantasize about getting something that doesn’t belong to you.”

Tao Zisheng’s words were very hurtful to a girl.

Shi Qianduo frowned and did not say anything.

Zhou Ting was so angry that she wanted to hit him. “Tao Zisheng, you can make shameless words sound so reasonable. You’re also a talent!”

Tao Zisheng ignored Zhou Ting. He had always looked down on Shi Qianduo’s friend. After all, a person of status like him would not treat a servant’s child as a friend. His gaze was fixed on the necklace around Shi Qianduo’s neck. “Please return the necklace to Kaiqi. If you don’t take it off, I’ll have to be impolite.”

Shi Qianduo finally reacted. She raised her chin proudly and said, “The necklace is mine. Why should I take it off and give it to you?” Tao Zisheng, you’re right. I hope you can respect others now, so please conduct yourself with dignity. Don’t fantasize about getting something that doesn’t belong to you. ”
