Chapter 126 - 0126 Happy New Year 2_1
Wang Jiao was uncertain of the extent to which her family had benefitted from the Lu Family, but she knew it must have been substantial. That much was evident from the ruby-encrusted golden Dragon and Phoenix Bracelet her mother had secretly handed down to her when she got married in her previous life. It was a derivative of the Lu Family’s generosity.
The bracelet was magnificent, with its lustrous, golden hue, dazzling sparkles, and the strikingly red gemstones embedded into it.
It was only after she had herself married into a wealthy family in her last life, and her horizons had broadened did she realise the immense value of the vast, red gemstone. It was actually worth more than the gold in the bracelet itself. Even the rubies that her affluent husband had bought her paled in comparison. Unfortunately, in her younger days, she did not understand its worth. After picking out the gemstone, she sold the bracelet at the bank for merely a few hundred bucks, and the detached gemstone somehow got lost in the obscurity of a remote corner.
Despite her mother’s love for her, her love for her sons and grandchildren was greater. The possessions her mother had reserved for them were undoubtedly more precious than the ruby gold bracelet she had given her.
On her deathbed, moments before his life flashed before her eyes, she remembered something from her childhood. It was before the founding of the nation when her mother accidentally mentioned that when she and her father got married, the old lady from the Lu Family had extravagantly gifted them a set of a golden headpiece, which was particularly valuable.
That golden headpiece was a complete set of golden jewellery and considering the wealth of the Lu family, it might also have pearls and gemstones embedded on it. In her previous life, she didn’t receive this from her mother, which means it must have been passed down to her brother.
Upon realizing this, Wang Jiao felt a deep sense of injustice.
Now that society had advanced towards gender equality, with women holding up half the sky, why was it that she received only one bracelet, and her brother inherited the entire set of jewelry? It was unfair! Unfair!
Furthermore, Wang Jiao speculated that their family owned more than this one set of jewellery and bracelet.
No woman in the world dislikes jewelry.
Her first goal was to marry Lu Jiang, and her second goal was to acquire all the hidden treasures from her mother and keep it to herself. Once the era of reform and opening up came, she could display her rich collection, sparkling in the light, inspiring envy in everyone.
