The car slowly stopped at the entrance. Guo Miao got out of the car and hade Li Zai farewell before asking him to go off first.
Su Ning and Tong Ling looked at each other. Who was this girl? They had never seen her before. Did her parents just get promoted to the Beijing Military District?
Su Ning shook her head. “That’s impossible. No one has been promoted to the Beijing Military Region recently. 1 haven’t heard my father mention anything.”
The two of them pretended to be waiting for the bus, but they were actually sizing up Guo Miao.
Guo Miao wasn’t wearing any high-end goods. Instead, she looked like she was wearing clothes from a mass-production brand. Which young lady in the capital’s circle would wear such clothing?
“But if she’s not from a military leader’s family, why would she take the military car here?” Su Ning frowned.
“Don’t worry about this for now. Let’s go pick something for Great-grandmother first. We still have to go to the birthday banquet tonight,” Tong Ling said.
“What does Grandma Tong usually like? Jade or pearls?” Su Ning asked.
Tong Ling did not answer Su Ning’s question. She reached out and shoved Su Ning. “Why are you already calling her ‘Grandma’? Isn’t your engagement with my Fifth Uncle not settled yet? You’re my guest, so you should address her as ‘Great-grandmother’ just like how 1 do.”
Su Ning’s face quickly turned red.
Su Ning was 18 years old this year. Her parents and Tong Pei’s father were comrades-in-arms. When the two of them were young, their parents had intended to arrange a marriage for the two of them.
Logically speaking, Su Ning would be 18 years old this year, so the two families should be discussing marriage again this year.
“Sooner or later.” Su Ning nudged Tong Ling a little reproachfully.
“Alright, alright. I know what you’re thinking, Fifth Aunt.”
The two of them walked into the mall intimately and headed towards the jade store.
Old Madam Tong loved jade the most, especially pigeon blood rubies. They planned to pick a gift for the old lady.
“Please wait here for a moment. We will bring over some pigeon blood rubies that we found recently.”
The salesgirl saw the two of them and was already very familiar with them. These two often came to the shop and bought a lot of jade every time. They were considered regular customers.
At this moment, Guo Miao walked in.
When she saw Guo Miao, Tong Ling gave Su Ning a look.
For some reason, Su Ning felt a little uncomfortable looking at Guo Miao.
Guo Miao didn’t know what kind of jewelry the old lady liked, but jade wasn’t a bad idea. She also wanted to get a gift for Tong Xin.
The people who came to this shop in Beijing to buy jade were usually from rich families. They looked familiar, but Guo Miao was a stranger, thus the salesperson naturally ignored her and just took out some jade.
The salesperson placed a plate containing a pigeon blood ruby bracelet in front of Tong Ling and Su Ning.
The bracelet looked gorgeous, and the color was very vivid. It looked extraordinary.
“Grandma will definitely like this. This color is very vivid, and it’s a Southern Red Agate.” Su Ning picked up a bracelet from the plate.
This bracelet should be the most expensive among the jewelry in the store. It was the color of blood and was crystal clear.
The most wonderful thing about the piece was that it was elegant and beautiful which was difficult for ordinary people to imitate.
Guo Miao casually glanced over and saw something unusual about the bracelet. Although it was bright red and flowery, it seemed to have been heat-treated.
If she was not wrong, this bracelet should be fake.
Wasn’t this shop famous? How could they sell fake goods? Guo Miao frowned.
Su Ning caught her reaction. She thought that Guo Miao’s gaze was out of jealousy and sneered. “Well, someone came in a high-class car from the military. Don’t tell me you haven’t seen a Southern Red Agate before?”
Hearing those words, Guo Miao knew that Su Ning was talking about her. She turned her head to the side and continued to look at the bracelets that the salesperson had brought her.
The sugar-brown jade bracelets looked good. The white jade was interspersed with golden flecks, which was very suitable for children.
She wanted to buy it for Tong Xin later.
According to her treatment, Tong Xin’s preparation for conceiving should be effective..
