Tracey took the box with doubts. "If it isn't a check, will it be a bomb?" Tracey thought.
For Tracey, President Sheng was an extremely bad guy who was always ready to break her and Adam.
She opened the box little by little. There was a bright jade bracelet in it.
It was a green jade infused with a trace of yellow, red, purple, and a little white when Tracey carefully observed it. This was the most precious treasure among all sorts of jade!
It was very rare to see two or three colors on the raw gem, not to mention containing five colors!
This was called "Five Good Fortunes". The jade was smooth and delicate. Especially when it was put under the light, there was a layer of faint halo wrapped around, which made the bracelet looked warmer and softer.
Tracey was good at jewelry design, but her specialty was mainly on diamonds. She had some knowledge about jade, if a bracelet like this one went public to the collecting circles, it must create sensations.
"President Sheng, what do you mean? If you want me to leave Adam, isn't it too expensive?" Tracey was confused. There was not a bomb inside, but an exquisite bracelet. What was the old master planning?
If being well kept, this bracelet will be appreciated fastly. For the rich, this piece of jewelry was not just a matter of price but a valuable collection. Nobody would easily show it off.
"Try it on." Tracey found it strange when Old Master Sheng suddenly became gentle.
"It's too precious, I can't wear it." Tracey was still aware of the old master's intentions, fearing that if she got plotted to make this jewelry broken, she couldn't find another identical one to make compensation.
"It seems that I am a very bad old man in your mind." The old master sighed, raising his wrinkles-covered hand and taking up the jade bracelet, put it directly on Tracey's wrist.
He was too fast to allow Tracey reacted. "President, what do you mean on earth?"
"To tell you the truth, this bracelet was the heirloom of my family. I was going to give it to Adam's mother, but she resisted it all the time.
This bracelet was the symbol of the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family. I give it to you today. I am sorry that I have misunderstood you before.
Adam often goes against me, but I didn't mean to be hostile to you. Now that he has chosen you, as his father, I should accept you as well, and I should thank you.”
The old master Sheng said with a grandfatherly smile, looking like an ordinary grandfather but not a powerful, serious, and rigid president of a big company.
Tracey wondered if he had seen a fake President Sheng. Her grandfather had always said that President Sheng was well-known for being hot-tempered.
Especially after hearing Adam's story about his mother’s death, Tracey had grown deeper hatred for Old Master Sheng. But he looked not so serious as imagined now.
"Thank me for what?"
"Before I knew your experience and real identity, I thought you were a gold- digging woman. Don't think I'm too snobbish.
I have come to this age, and I have seen too many people, I couldn't help looking down on you at first and even mocked you.
Besides, I and your grandfather often contradict each other, so I vented the anger for him on you. Until that day when Adam proposed to you, I saw something.
I saw Adam smiled! He smiled like he did when he was little. It was so pure and satisfying. Please don’t laugh at this.
Since his mother left, I have never seen him smiled like this, which shows that he really loves you.
It's you who brought him happiness and fun. I suddenly felt at ease. Rather than forcing him to do something, I'd like to let him live happily.
