Chapter 29
Jin Qiaochu invited Wang Jiazhi and Xiaoshuang to attend her birthday party.
Xiao Shuang said, "If we go, we can't go empty-handed. But we can't afford expensive gifts, and she wouldn't even look at small things like hairpins and brooches. If we don't go, we'll be letting her down."
Wang Jiazhi said, "That's right, but I think she also knows that we can't give her anything expensive, so she won't think it's rude to give her something small to show our appreciation. If we don't go, it will disappoint her."
Zhou Minlin approached them and told them he was planning to give them a bottle of high-end foreign wine, saying it was a gift from the three of them. It was just a small token of his appreciation, and Jin Qiaochu wouldn't mind.
Wang Jiazhi and Xiaoshuang still felt that they should give something as a gift, so they went to the store to choose something.
Wang Jiazhi saw a crystal bracelet that looked very similar to her mother's tourmaline bracelet. It was a narrow gold bracelet with peach blossoms made of pink tourmaline and leaves made of green tourmaline.
Xiaoshuang stretched out her wrist, which was wearing an aquamarine crystal bracelet.
"He gave it to me."
Wang Jiazhi held her wrist and said with a smile, "It's beautiful. Your boyfriend is quite good at choosing things."
"What will that old man of his choose?"
"Why is it so wide, with both wrists circling and jumping away?"
Xiao Shuang said, "This is the first time I've heard this line of poetry."
Wang Jiazhi said, "My mother told me this when I was a child. She had a bracelet similar to this one. She said bracelets could be used as tokens of love. When she told me this line, I remembered it."
Wang Jiazhi recalled that when she was a child, her mother put a tourmaline bracelet on her little hand. At that time, she was too young to wear the bracelet.
Her mother smiled and said, "You can wear it when you grow up. I'll give it to you as a dowry when you get married."
When her mother passed away, she told her father that she would leave all her dowry jewelry to her daughter. Her father agreed, but he took them all with him when he left the country, leaving none for her.
Wang Jiazhi didn't care how much the jewelry was worth, but she thought it was her mother's legacy, and she wanted to keep it as a memory.
Xiao Shuang smiled and said, "You will definitely be a good mother in the future. You must have a daughter, just like your mother taught you. Let her also become a talented woman."
Wang Jiazhi laughed and said, "You think too highly of me. How can I teach a child?"
Wang Jiazhi felt a sharp pain in her heart, thinking, "With a mother like me, how could she..."
After buying something, Xiao Shuang smiled and said, "I'm really curious about what kind of boy you like and what your future husband will be like."
Wang Jiazhi laughed and said, "Maybe there has never been one. Why does a woman have to have a man? It's fine if she can be alone for the rest of her life."
Xiao Shuang said, "That's right, independent new women are also good."
Wang Jiazhi thought her mother must have thought her daughter would get married, have a husband and children. She hadn't expected that to happen, never. Furthermore, she had lost her virginity in such a ridiculous way, being treated like a prostitute.
"I'm just stupid!" she thought to herself.
Even though she had a second chance to live her life, in her heart, she was still unclean. Not only unclean, but also ridiculously stupid.
They had said everything, and he must have known everything. Not only was he disappointed in her, but in his eyes, she was still a ridiculous fool. Maybe he would even think she was stupid, that she had no self-respect and could be with anyone.
She screamed “Ah!!!” in her heart.
