In the ’90s, the economy in China was booming. At that time, the salaries of many people had risen quite a bit. However, the majority of workers earned a few hundred yuan a month. Three hundred to five hundred yuan was average and was considered to be pretty good.
But some businessmen were doing very well and that was another matter altogether.
Yang Yujiao was just a thirteen-year-old child. Naturally, she had not seen any large sums of money. Especially since she was the granddaughter of the second son’s family. The second son of the Yang family was not doing as well as the eldest son’s family.
She would never dare to dream of a bracelet that cost 300,000 yuan. If she had not heard Yang Shiyun say so, she would not have known that such expensive bracelets existed.
Living in a wealthy family, she naturally knew that premium jewelry was very expensive. But in her daily life, she had never seen a simple bracelet like Yang Shiyun’s that cost so much.
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She continued to smile calmly.
“If you like it so much, ask your aunt to buy one for you!”
Silence suddenly fell.
Neither Yang Shiyun nor Yang Yujiao had expected Gu Qingyao’s response.
Most normal people would be shocked and envious.
Yang Shiyun felt rather embarrassed and a little angry. She felt that Gu Qingyao was deliberately disrespecting her.
Although this bracelet was not her most expensive piece of jewelry, it was the most valuable of her smaller and simpler pieces.
This was not an important banquet, and it would be inappropriate to wear jewelry that was too ostentatious. This was just a casual accessory.
After all, she had completed university in China and then pursued her further studies overseas. She had seen the world, and she had some taste. She knew that it would be too ostentatious to wear jewelry that was overly formal on such an occasion.
So she chose this bracelet. A 300,000-yuan bracelet that was a casual accessory. Did one buy such a thing casually?
Gu Qingyao was clearly trying to sow discord between her and Yang Yujiao.
Yang Yujiao was also very embarrassed. She did want one very much, but she knew that it was too expensive, so she did not dare to mention it to her aunt.
Her mother had reminded her more than once that she was not to displease her aunt. The members of the eldest son’s family were not to be provoked.
If she appeared to be too immature and kept asking her aunt for things, it would turn her aunt off.
Yang Yujiao laughed hollowly. “Aunty is joking. This is such a valuable piece, it will only look good on a beautiful woman like my aunt. I’m just a child! It’s not appropriate for me to wear something like that. Aunt has bought me many more pieces of jewelry that are appropriate for my age.”
Gu Qingyao raised her brows. This child was pretty clever!
There was a reason why the eldest son’s family favored her.
Although she was not very knowledgeable, at least she was not completely brainless.
Gu Qingyao smiled and did not reply.
She would not take the initiative to speak to Yang Shiyun. Yang Shiyun had not said a word since she walked over. As the mistress of the Mo family, she did not have to speak first.
Even if she dared to show off in front of Gu Qingyao, it would depend on whether Gu Qingyao allowed her to do so!
At that moment, Mo Yang looked up and glanced at the wrist that Yang Shiyun had kept on the table. He just took one look, then lowered his eyes.
Disdain!
This lousy bracelet had so many diamonds, but it was not even as valuable as his mother’s hair clip. Yet they had the cheek to boast.
His family had piles of gems and jewelry. His fourth and fifth uncles as well as his other uncles often went to various countries on business. If they had time, they would bring some jewelry back for the women in their family. His mother was the most beloved woman in the family, so each time, she received the most presents.
And then there was his father who doted on his wife. His father was an immensely wealthy tycoon.
