Chapter 259: Jade Bracelet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Old Madam Tong asked the maid standing at the side to open the box.
The jade bracelet in the box glowed with a warm color under the light.
The rich green color was inlaid with a few elegant purple tints. The two colors blended very well. The entire bracelet looked grand with its transparent color. It was very suitable for Old Madam Tong’s highly respected disposition.
Old Madam Tong nodded in satisfaction, smiling from ear to ear.
Before this birthday banquet, Tong Huan and the other kids had secretly told her about the close relationship between Tong Pei and Guo Miao.
Old Madam Tong understood her grandson, but she could not believe that her grandson had taken a fancy to a sevcnteen-year-old girl who was still in school. She could not believe that Guo Miao could cure her granddaughter’s chronic illness.
However, after seeing her today, the old lady seemed to have an answer in her heart.
Although Guo Miao looked like a teenage girl, she had a quiet temperament that did not match her appearance.
While the jade she chose was not very expensive, its style and quality were top-notch. The color was also very good and was suitable for the old lady’s age.
Old Madam Tong smiled as she looked at Guo Miao, feeling that she knew her ground.
“I heard from Tong Pei that you’re the doctor who treated Tong Xin. It’s really impressive for you to have this ability at such a young age,” the old lady commented.
Guo Miao looked at Tong Pei in confusion.
“Yes, Grandma. Guo Miao also cured the eyes of Sheng Guang, the youngest son of the Sheng family,” Tong Pei said.
The old lady’s mouth was wide open in surprise. She looked at Guo Miao carefully again. “I see. So, you’re the famous doctor that Old Madam Sheng mentioned. I heard that you are an expert in Chinese medicine. Which doctor did you learn from before?”
Traditional Chinese medicine was mostly passed down from master to disciple. For a doctor like Guo Miao, who was already so skilled at such a young age, she should have had a very good teacher.
“My teacher was a village doctor, but he has passed away,” Guo Miao said.
The old lady sighed. “If your master was still around, our family should have sent someone to deliver a generous gift.”
Old Madam Tong called over the maid beside her and gave her a few instructions.
The maid took out an exquisite and classic small box from the inner room.
Inside the box was a jade scepter. The color was very positive and rich, and the carving process was also excellent. The flowers carved on it looked lifelike and flickered with a charming color under the light.
“This is an antique I received from the Treasure Pavilion a few years ago,” Old Madam Tong said.
The jade scepter looked priceless, and Guo Miao could tell that it was a treasure worth a few million.
She quickly shook her head. “Ma’am, this is too expensive. I can’t accept it.”
Although she had cured Tong Xin’s illness, she had already received payment once. It would be inappropriate for her to receive something from Old Madam Tong.
“Take it. That money is the treatment fee Tong Xin gave you. This is a gift from this old woman.”
Old Madam Tong beamed with joy and signaled the maid to wrap the scepter up for Guo Miao.
The reason she was giving this jade scepter to Guo Miao was not just because of Tong Xin’s matter, but also because of Tong Pei.
Tong Pei had not been close to women for so many years, but he seemed to dote on this little girl very much. He even personally went to Fog City to watch her competition.
Perhaps this young lady would be her granddaughter-in-law in the future.
Guo Miao didn’t understand the meaning of this and thought that it was a gift from the old lady because of Tong Xin’s matter. She looked at Tong Pei for help. She really couldn’t accept such a heavy gift.
Tong Pei shrugged his shoulders. “This is Grandma’s idea. I can’t go against it. Accept it.”
He understood what Old Madam Tong meant, but Guo Miao was still young. He wanted to wait for a suitable time to clarify this matter with Guo Miao.
This jade scepter was very valuable, and Old Madam Tong had bought it at a high price at an auction.
After she bought it, she kept it in her room and would not show it to others easily.
The pattern on it was also the old lady’s favorite. The old lady had always cherished this jade scepter.
However, Tong Pei was also very surprised. Although the old lady would give some of her favorite things to the younger generation, it was only her first time meeting Guo Miao, and she already gave her such an expensive gift.
It was probably because she really liked Guo Miao..
