Chapter 443 Jade Bracelet
In the evening, Shen Jiao came to the door again with a black velvet gift box.
Jiang Huashan was a little scared when she saw her carrying something in her hand, and without waiting for Shen Jiao to speak, she pretended to go exercise.
Shen Jiao was amused by her and quickly pulled her back.
"Sit down. This isn't for you. It's for your mother."
Jiang Huashan was stunned and looked at Shen Jiao in confusion.
Although Shen Jiao never said it explicitly, she knew that the Queen actually disliked Fang Mei from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Jiao patted her hands and said, "I heard that your mother is getting married. Although my taste is not very good, I still wish her well. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
"No need." Jiang Huashan pushed the gift box back without thinking.
"Take it." Shen Jiao said firmly, "I did dislike her before, but this is a different time. But she gave birth to you after all."
The Queen truly embodies the principle of loving the person and loving everyone in him to the fullest.
Jiang Huashan was silent for a moment, then opened the brocade box, which contained a glass-type imperial green jadeite bracelet.
So expensive?!
Jiang Huashan looked at Shen Jiao with some surprise.
When Fang Mei first came to Shen Garden, her favorite thing was to study Shen Jiao's dressing style. When she saw Shen Jiao wearing a cheongsam and jade, she wanted to imitate her. However, she went to the mall and didn't see anything similar, so she asked someone to make a fake A+B.
Whenever Shen Jiao came to Shen Garden for dinner, she would wear her fake bracelet to get close to Shen Jiao. Shen Jiao felt disgusted and never wore the jade bracelet again.
Fang Mei thought that Shen Jiao looked down on her and was unwilling to wear the same accessories as her, and she was very angry.
By chance, Fang Mei learned that this kind of imperial green bracelet is either of collection level or auction level, and is priceless. For someone like her, people would know it is a fake as soon as she puts her hands on it.
Fang Mei threw the jade bracelet in anger and secretly hated Shen Jiao from then on.
It is impossible for Shen Jiao not to know what Fang Mei is thinking. Now that she is willing to give her such an expensive gift, it is obvious that she is sincere.
Jiang Huashan closed the box and shook her head, "She doesn't deserve it."
"Don't be so childish. The circle of fame and fortune in Whale Harbor is so small, and none of those people in the Guan family are easy to deal with. If she makes any jokes, you will inevitably be implicated."
Shen Jiao patted Jiang Huashan's hand. "It's just a bracelet. Don't you know how wealthy your mother is? It's nothing to me. But if I give this gift to someone, it will save the Shen family's reputation, and my reputation as well. The Guan family will be a little wary."
Of course she understood Shen Jiao's good intentions, and that was precisely why she didn't want to accept it.
Because she really doesn't care. Even if Fang Mei turns into a bedbug and is trampled by thousands of people, even if she is ridiculed as the daughter of a bedbug, she won't be sad at all.
But she also knew that unless Shen Zhuang and Shen Jiao knew the whole story, they would never be able to understand her feelings, because in this life, Fang Mei was driven out of Shen Garden before she had the chance to do anything to her.
"I understand. Thank you, Mom."
Unable to bear rejecting Shen Jiao's kindness, Jiang Huashan finally accepted the gift with a smile.
After Shen Jiao returned, Jiang Huashan restrained her smile, opened the brocade box, took out the bracelet and looked at it carefully.
A full-color glass-type imperial green bracelet, it would be difficult to find a second one of this level even in Whale Harbor.
But she clearly remembered that in her previous life, when she went to Fang Mei to borrow jewelry, she once saw Fang Mei looking at the bracelet on her wrist in front of the mirror. The bracelet was glowing green and looked exactly the same as the two in her hands.
Now that I think about it, Fang Mei’s reaction at that time was a bit strange. She took off the bracelet immediately after she found out that she had entered the room.
Suddenly, Jiang Huashan's eyes trembled, as if a beam of light suddenly came in from the dark seabed.
Could it be that Shen Jiao’s death is related to Fang Mei?
Her target when she appeared at this time was not Grandpa, but Shen Jiao?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Jiang Huashan suddenly felt a strange tingling sensation on his scalp and cold hands and feet.
"..."

Half a month later, Guan Shan and Fang Mei's marriage entered the final stage of discussion. Although this was just an internal meeting between the two families, the Guan family still booked the most luxurious banquet hall in the Jinggang Garden Hotel.
On the day of the banquet, Fang Mei wore a pink silk cheongsam and a white hairpin in her hair.
In the past few years, she has put a lot of thought into dressing herself up, and finally there have been some results. Although she is over 40, she still has charm. The carefully selected pink color makes her look more girlish, and she seems to be ten years younger. When she stands with Guan Shan, who has a sloppy face, those who don’t know her would mistake them for a father and daughter.
Jiang Wanyi maintained a decent smile on her face and lifted the slit on her chest imperceptibly. Compared to the girlish feeling of Fang Mei, she, a real girl, seemed a little over-mature.
For today's banquet, Fang Meihua spent a lot of money to customize a black and gold dress for her. Except for the chest and hip parts which were made of black fabric, the rest of the fabric was a layer of translucent golden gauze.
"Put your hands down. Everyone's watching. What's the point of doing that? You're being petty."
Fang Mei turned around and saw Jiang Wanyi hiding something, and was extremely dissatisfied.
Jiang Wanyi felt a little uncomfortable, "Mom, I want to go back and change my clothes."
For some reason, she felt that many people looked at her strangely tonight.
Fang Mei frowned, "What do you want to change? Let me tell you, this dress is a runway piece that you can't buy even if you have money. I spent so much money on it, and you just change it like that? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Jiang Wanyi knew she couldn't get away with it, so she smiled and said, "I understand. By the way, Mom, where's my sister? Why hasn't she come yet? Is she unable to find her place? Let me go check on her."
Fang Mei's expression softened slightly. "She said she would come, so she should come. You might as well go and take a look, lest that damn girl play any tricks again."
Jiang Wanyi nodded and quickly walked out of the inner hall.
Guan Shan's eyes were fixed on Jiang Wanyi. When he saw her suddenly leave the table, he interrupted his chat with the younger generation and turned to walk towards Fang Mei.
"Where did Yiyi go?"
Fang Mei raised her eyes and smiled, then took Guan Shan's arm affectionately and said, "Let's go pick up her sister."
Guan Shan then remembered what the driver said, that Fang Mei was personally sent out by the Shen family's chief steward that day.
"Oh, I remember you said your eldest daughter's name is Shanshan?"
"Yes. The child was favored by Mr. Shen and has been fostered in the Shen family. I didn't want to cause trouble for the child, so I moved out with Yiyi. However, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have met you. In the end, I am lucky."
With the soft jade in his arms, Guan Shan's smile became more colorful, and he lowered his head to get closer to Fang Mei's face.
Fang Mei's eyelids twitched. The man in front of him had gray hair on his temples, sparse hair on top, and age spots on his face. Although today was a marriage proposal, he didn't dress up deliberately. He looked like a disheveled old dog in the wind.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered what Jiang Huashan said, "You married an old man?"
"..."
Thinking back to the time when she was a rich woman who kept a gigolo, she ate so well back then, and now it’s really difficult for her to eat a piece of sour old meat.
Fang Mei pretended to be embarrassed and shrank her neck, gently pushing the old man's face away and said shyly, "Everyone is watching."
Guan Shan was so tempted that he grabbed Fang Mei's buttocks and said, "Just wait and see how I deal with you tonight."
Fang Mei, “…”
In a corner of the banquet hall, Guan He put one hand in his pocket and held a glass of red wine in the other. As soon as he turned around, he saw this eye-catching scene. He was so disgusted that he almost vomited out the wine he had just drunk.
No! How could his uncle still be like this? Like a mad dog in heat.
