Chapter 17 The Story Behind the Diamond

"Idiot!" Lu Jinyan cursed lightly, "You are right. The original blue hope should indeed be much bigger than this diamond, but my story is not finished yet."

After the gemstone was inlaid on the statue of the god, an Indian monk became greedy for the gemstone. Once, he secretly took the gemstone from the statue of the god while everyone was not paying attention. Unfortunately, he was discovered immediately later. , he was burned alive by everyone for the crime of blasphemy.

Before dying, the monk roared in the fire, "My soul will be fastened in this gem forever, from now on, everyone who gets it will have bad luck!"

At the beginning, everyone didn't take the monk's words seriously, but this gem was changed hands several times later, and it was acquired by French Emperor Louis XIV many years later. Louis XIV ordered someone to polish this gem into a 69.03-carat diamond. It is a pity. Yes, after only taking it once, Louis XIV contracted smallpox and died suddenly.

After that, the jewel changed hands several times. Princess Lambona of the French royal family, Louis XVI and his queen, everyone who wore this diamond died in the end and was killed.

At this time, people remembered the monk's curse. No one in the French royal family dared to wear this diamond anymore. They sealed the diamond in the French royal treasury.

In 1792, the gem was stolen from the French treasury and did not resurface until 1830.But by that time, the gemstone had been polished into a 45.5-carat diamond.

At that time, a Dutch craftsman was obsessed with the legend of this diamond. He went through a lot of hard work and finally got the diamond. However, not long after he had it, his son owed a huge sum of money due to gambling. One day, he took advantage of the opportunity. The craftsman was not at home, so he stole the diamond and sold it to other merchants. When the craftsman got home and learned everything, he was so angry that he committed suicide on the spot!
Su Qing listened to Lu Jinyan's talk below and unconsciously held the necklace around her neck. If what Lu Jinyan said was true, then part of the cursed necklace was still around her neck.
But Su Qing believes that Lu Jinyan will not harm her!
So Su Qing continued to listen, and now only Lu Jinyan's voice was heard in the entire venue, and everyone seemed to be immersed in the story Lu Jinyan told, this man is so charming, when he is serious about doing something, he always Will inadvertently become the existence of much attention.

Su Qing looked at the confident Lu Jinyan on the stage with some obsession.

Lu Jinyan looked at Su Qing who was underground, smiled at her, and then continued to introduce the origin of this diamond.

In 1911, Washington Postmaster McClane bought the diamond from a businessman for US$151000, but within two years, his two sons died in car accidents one after another, and then McClane could not stand the blow at home. He committed suicide, and soon after, his only daughter committed suicide by taking sleeping pills at home because of emotional problems.

After that, the cursed gem flowed into the black market, but in the past few years, everyone who got it had no good end. The rumor of this stone of misfortune became more and more sinister, but the more bizarre it became, the more people wanted to get it. The more people get it.

In 1958, Mr. Winston, another rich man and well-known jeweler in the United States, bought this diamond. He gave this diamond to his precious daughter as a wedding gift, but a year later, her woman married him. The son-in-law was stabbed to death by his son-in-law during another quarrel
From then on, the whereabouts of this gem was unknown until 1980, when a rich man in China finally got it. But because he was afraid that the diamond was really cursed, the rich man worked hard to find countless capable people and strangers at that time to come and think about it. The way, the last Taoist made a suggestion, cut the diamond in half, and use the tears of a hundred newborn babies to clean the resentment in the gem, so as to eliminate the curse.

The rich businessman did as he said. Sure enough, nothing strange happened to the rich man after he got the diamond. Unfortunately, even without the curse of the gem, the son of the rich man fell into ruin due to poor management after the death of the rich man. Because there are not many people who know it, it ended up in the Taobao market, and I got it!
Most of the people below were immersed in Lu Jinyan's story. When the story ended, many people were already interested in this necklace.

"You say it's true? This diamond has disappeared for so long, how do you prove that this diamond in your hand is the legendary blue hope?" Liu Man just couldn't see Lu Jinyan being so arrogant, he would question whether it was true or not.

Lu Jinyan rolled his eyes at the air, since he dared to take it out, he must be convinced that the one in his hand is real.

"I told you to study more, you look at what you said, it really makes people feel ashamed, in fact, if you want to prove whether this diamond is real, there is the simplest way, after Louis XIV got this diamond, I found a top craftsman at the time to polish it, and asked to leave my own mark on the diamond, but the craftsman used extremely tricky techniques to engrave the name of Louis XIV inside the diamond, and from the outside, it was impossible to find it. to a crack."

"This technology was lost after that. Even if modern people have high technology, they can't reach the technology of that time. So, just verify it and you will know whether it is true or false!"

After Lu Jinyan finished speaking, he indicated that if there are professionals present, they can come up and verify.

Soon, many people came to the stage to verify it. Under the light, they could faintly see a string of French words inside the diamond.

After getting the approval of the professionals, the atmosphere on the scene has reached its climax. Before Lu Jinyan can say his reserve price, etc., someone has already started bidding.

"1000 million, I'll offer 1000 million!" Thinking that the rich man couldn't wait to start bidding directly.

"100 million, I will pay 100 million!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he directly broke the highest price of this auction, and Lu Jinyan walked off the stage with a smile on his face. This time he was a big show.

"Hey, everything you said on stage is true? There are so many stories behind this gem? It's amazing!" Su Qing leaned into Lu Jinyan's ear and asked quietly, with a soft voice and a faint The aroma made Lu Jinyan feel a little distraught.

"Of course it's true, otherwise you really thought I gave you a cheap thing!"

"But, it's amazing. You only spent 300 yuan to buy two such precious necklaces, just like in a fairy tale." Su Qing pouted and said a little embarrassed.

Lu Jinyan patted Su Qing's head, "It means we are made for each other!"

"Bah~ who is a natural match with you, shameless." Su Qing said softly with a blushing face.
