Chapter 2101 - 2101 Twins
Qiao Jierou’s words left room for negotiation. She said that she would give a red agate bracelet to Old Madam Han the next time she found a good piece.
This left room for future dealings.
“Alright,” Old Madam Han said somewhat unhappily.
Old Madam Qiao could tell that Old Madam Han was disappointed. She secretly thought of a chance to give her red agate bracelet to Old Madam Han.
She thought for a moment and said, “I heard that it’s best to wear this red agate bracelet alone. If I were to wear both bracelets together, the effect won’t be as good.”
Old Madam Qiao said in detail, “The reason why I’m wearing two red agate bracelets today is that I want to find a fated person. That way, we can each wear one and enjoy our respective good intentions. Old Madam Han, if you don’t mind, we can each wear one. This way, both of us can have a token of health and longevity. Won’t that be beautiful?”
Qiao Jierou was impressed by Old Madam Qiao’s words. As expected, Grandma knew how to get closer to wealthy ladies!
“Grandma’s words make sense. When I bought it back then, the other party told me the same thing. It’s just that they refused to sell it alone, so I bought both of them and gave them to Grandma,” Qiao Jierou said with a smile. “Now that I can find someone to share them with Grandma, this bracelet has reached its optimal value.”
Old Madam Qiao immediately took off a bracelet and handed it over with both hands.
How could Madam Gao and the others not understand Old Madam Qiao’s intentions?
However, who wouldn’t have such thoughts on social occasions?
Families that had not reached the top needed to build these intertwined relationships to help and support each other.
Someone smiled and said, “It’s because I’m not at Old Madam Qiao and Old Madam Han’s age yet, so I don’t dare to talk about longevity. Otherwise, I really want to try wearing one myself. Old Madam Han, you should wear it first. In two years, I’ll definitely find one to wear myself.”
Everyone laughed, and Old Madam Han also laughed. She took the bracelet and said, “In that case, I won’t decline.”
Old Madam Han was from a noble family. This little thing was not worthy of her attention.
However, the meaning was indeed good. Old Madam Qiao took the initiative to hand it over again. Old Madam Han was not the kind of person who would stick to the details, so she reached out to take it.
To her, accepting such a small gift was no different from accepting a bouquet of flowers.
Seeing her take it, Old Madam Qiao and Qiao Jierou couldn’t help but look at each other and smile.
It was rare to have such an opportunity to attend a cocktail party of this level.
And now, with just a simple bracelet, they were able to build a relationship with a high-ranking noblewoman like Old Madam Han. This kind of good thing did not happen every time.
Qiao Jierou was secretly glad that she did not miss out on the bracelets back then.
Qiao Weiyang kept saying that she wouldn’t sell the bracelets to her. It seemed that Qiao Weiyang wanted to give the bracelets away as a gift too.
On the other hand, Old Madam Qiao was even more satisfied with Qiao Jierou. It was not in vain that she doted on her this time. She was really considerate.
The servant beside Old Madam Han held her wrist. She personally put on the red agate bracelet.
“Not bad! It’s really compatible!”
“It’s perfect.”
Everyone couldn’t help but compliment her.
“I wish you a long life, Old Madam!” Qiao Jierou said.
“Ah…” Someone suddenly covered their mouth.
Although that person tried their best to pretend that nothing had happened, Old Madam Han still lowered her head and looked at the bracelet again.
Her expression changed at once.
It turned out that there was a very big crack on the bracelet.
Although it did not affect her wearing it, it was obvious that it was no longer suitable for Old Madam Han.
Not only that, but looking at such a big crack, she was in a really bad mood!
“Old Madam Qiao!” Old Madam Han’s face darkened. “I’ll return it to you.”
When the others saw the crack on the bracelet, their expressions changed.
Another young woman muttered softly, “Red agate symbolizes health and longevity. Doesn’t this cracked red agate symbolize…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but Old Madam Han’s already unhappy emotions were provoked.
Everyone knew what she meant.
Old Madam Han’s expression was no longer just ugly. It was like a storm was coming.
Old Madam Qiao was also shocked. “How did this happen? It was fine just now…”
When the servant beside Old Madam Han heard this, she immediately retorted, “What do you mean? Could it be that the old madam and I broke it?”
“That’s not what I meant…” Old Madam Qiao naturally didn’t mean that.
Despite her usually domineering and calm personality, she could not help but panic now.
She really did not expect such a situation to happen.
She would end up offending someone like this!
“I’m really sorry, Old Madam Han. I really didn’t expect such a problem. Look, mine is still fine. Why don’t you wear mine first…” No matter what, she had to express her attitude first.
It was not strange to be polite. She would take all the blame first.
“How unlucky!” Before she could finish, the servant scolded coldly, “Who wants something so unlucky?”
The servant was standing by Old Madam Han’s side, and it seemed that she had a very high status.
Old Madam Qiao naturally did not dare to refute her.
Old Madam Han did not stop her servant either. Clearly, she represented Old Madam Han’s wishes.
“Old Madam Han, I…” Old Madam Qiao was still trying her best to make it up to her.
However, Old Madam Han no longer wanted to pay attention to her. She left with the servant.
Qiao Jierou was also at a loss.
Madam Gao, who was at the side, couldn’t help but say, “Sigh, really. How could you take out such a thing to give away? Does Old Madam Han lack such things? She just wants something with a nice symbolism. Look at what you’ve done!”
The other noblewomen did not want to be implicated either. They shook their heads and left.
Even Tang Meiya did not know what to say. She had kindly introduced them to the upper-class people, but the situation had turned out like this. She felt embarrassed.
She said, “I’ll leave first and take a look over there.”
Qiao Jierou held back her tears and was about to cry. “Grandma, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect this bracelet to be like this either.”
Old Madam Qiao was angry and anxious.
She had always been in charge of the Qiao family and was respected everywhere. Today, she had to suffer like this!
However, there was indeed something wrong with that bracelet!
