Compared to the devaluing cash of the 1980s, jewelry definitely has more appreciation potential. After a brief thought, Feng Qingxue agreed to her daughter's request and even accompanied her to the jewelry counter to look at the jewelry she had her eye on.

Oh, my daughter has a good eye, just like me.

She had her eye on a jade round bangle, one that wasn't there on her previous visit, presumably a new item. The band looked a bit small, the rich green color flowing like a pool of emerald water, clear to the bottom. The type is old mine glass type, the color is genuine Emperor Green, extremely glossy. It had flaws, because it was too crystal clear, making it easy to see inside the cotton-like patterns and slight blemishes, but the flaws hardly detract from its beauty.

This bangle is really beautiful, full of vibrant life, and on its own surpasses the pair given by Zhou Mingyu.

Some say young people can't pull off Emperor Green, but that's really not the case. Emperor Green jade bangles suit women of all ages; they are versatile, only becoming more flavorful the older one gets.

"I just like it; from the moment I saw it, I liked it from the bottom of my heart." Fubao was fixedly staring at the bangle in the display, unable to describe the feeling. "The price tag says one hundred and twenty yuan. Mom, would you be willing to lend me money? I have just over thirty yuan. Mom, if you lend me a hundred, I'll repay you with my future allowance and New Year's money."

"Of course!" Jewelry has its destined wearer. Fubao took a liking to it at first sight, indicating her connection with the bangle. Feng Qingxue readily pulled out the money, with Adrian handling the purchase.

With a foreign passport, it works every time, and the sales assistant didn't hesitate.

Fubao happily wore it on her left wrist, making the bangle look even more luscious and stunning against her fair, slender wrist. After admiring it for a moment, she took it off and handed it to her mom to try.

Feng Qingxue smiled gently, putting it back on her daughter's wrist, "It feels a bit small on me, you wear it."

It truly was small; by her estimation, the band was only 53 millimeters.

This measurement refers to the internal diameter of the bangle.

She had measured her wrist size before: 56 millimeters for round bangles, 57 for peace bangles, and 58 for princess bangles. Even though she's not fat and her wrists aren't thick, years of exercise and frequently performing surgeries have made her hand bones less supple than her daughter's. So she typically wears round bangles sized 56 to 58; anything below 56 wouldn't fit, and though she could force a 55 round bangle on, she saw no need to endure that discomfort.

For Fubao, the 53-millimeter bangle was slightly large, but at the age of thirteen, with soft and growing joints, she had plenty of room for growth. Who knows, by the time she reaches adulthood, this bangle might not fit her anymore.

"Mom, I'll buy you one—whichever you like?" Zhuangzhuang leaned over the counter, looking at the dazzling array of jewelry.

Dundun quickly added, "I can pool money with Zhuangzhuang."

Lu Erxiong hesitantly said, "I've spent all my money!"

Ye Yan chuckled, "Erxiong, I can lend you some. You just pay me back with your future allowance and New Year's money."

Lu Erxiong clutched his empty pocket, protesting loudly, "Ye Brother, how could you do this? At Third Brother's decision, Little Brother and I have decided to combine our efforts to get mom jewelry, don't you think you should chip in too?"

Feng Qingxue tapped him on the head, "What kind of behavior is that, Lu Erxiong?"

She thought it wasn't right for her son to make Ye Yan pay, but Ye Yan was actually quite happy. It showed that Lu Erxiong considered him family, and family should advance and retreat together. So he said enthusiastically, "Dundun, Zhuangzhuang, which one should we buy? Aunt Lu, which one do you like? We'll buy it for you so both you and Fubao can dress up beautifully when you return to the Capital; Uncle Lu would certainly be pleased."
