Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 240 - Chapter 240 Chapter 229 It Will Happen

Chapter 240: Chapter 229: It Will Happen Chapter 240: Chapter 229: It Will Happen Lu Jiaxin had booked a seaside hotel, and the weather was sunny when she arrived. The sea, the beach, the delicious food, and countless handsome men and beautiful women to feast her eyes on – it couldn’t be more pleasant.

Gu Wenfeng was initially uncomfortable when he arrived at the beach. Lu Jiaxin’s swimsuit was very conservative, but many of the beauties on the beach were wearing bikinis. However, human adaptability is strong, and by half a day later, he had gotten used to it, and then, at Lu Jiaxin’s request, he learned how to ride a jet ski.

Lu Jiaxin, holding a coconut, lay leisurely on a beach chair sipping her drink. When Gu Wenfeng came back from jet skiing, she asked with a smile, “You learned so quickly?”

Riding a motorbike on land is completely different from jet skiing on the sea, but once he got the hang of it, it felt really exhilarating. Gu Wenfeng nodded and said, “I can handle it on my own, but not with a passenger yet, I need more practice.”

“Then you should practice well, and aim to take me surfing before we leave.”

That was definitely no issue, but Gu Wenfeng didn’t understand why he had to learn this: “We won’t need it back home, why waste the money?”

Old habits die hard. Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “Not only do we have to learn how to ride a jet ski, but we will also have to learn how to pilot a yacht, so you can take the helm when we go out to sea.”

Gu Wenfeng frowned and said, “Jiaxin, he who takes the king’s coin becomes his man, and we should avoid any financial entanglement with the Nie Family’s Third Young Master as much as possible.”

Nie Zhan was excellent in all aspects and matched Jiaxin well. But their status difference was quite big now, and accepting such an expensive gift from him could raise concerns about what the Nie Family might think.

Lu Jiaxin asked with some resignation, “Why do you always think of Nie Zhan first? Why can’t it be me buying it to have fun?”

What’s the point of playing on someone else’s yacht? It would be better not to go at all!

Gu Wenfeng didn’t expect such a response, saying, “Jiaxin, a big yacht seems to cost several million!”

Lu Jiaxin looked up at the clear blue sky, laughing as she said, “I want to buy not only a yacht but also a garden villa and a private plane in the future.”

Her previous life had been too exhausting; this time around, she wanted to enjoy life thoroughly, having a mansion, a private plane, and a yacht – she intended to own them all someday.

Gu Wenfeng hadn’t expected her to have such big ambitions. But thinking of her capabilities, and considering she was in Hong Kong, he felt that Lu Jiaxin could make it happen: “I believe your dreams will come true.”

She donated two million without batting an eyelid, showing not only her generosity but also confidence in herself, believing she could earn many more millions in the future.

Lu Jiaxin felt great after expressing her heart’s desire and receiving affirmation: “Brother Gu, you shouldn’t go back; stay by my side! I need someone I can rely on right now.”

If it had been a year earlier, Gu Wenfeng would have refused without a second thought, but his mind had changed after talking with Xie Kaixiao. Gu Wenfeng asked, “If you make a lot of money in the future, will you invest back in the Mainland?”

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “Within three years, I will return to the Mainland to set up factories and investments. Once I earn more in the future, I will continue to do charity work in the Mainland and contribute to its education.”

“Allow me to think about it.”

“Take your time. I’m not in a rush.”

With the New Year approaching, every household was preparing for the festivities. Hongjun couldn’t resist any longer and asked Lu Jiaguang, “When is Jiaxin coming back?”

Lu Jiaguang didn’t hide it from him and said, “Third Uncle, Jiaxin said it’s too cold here and she can’t handle it, so she won’t be coming back for the New Year this year.”

Before heading to Hawaii, Lu Jiaxin received a call from Xiao Qiu, who asked if she would return to the Forty-nine City for the Chinese New Year. Knowing that she had no plans to return, the family of three asked Lu Jiaguang to buy tickets to go back to his hometown for the New Year.

Lu Hongjun asked with disappointment, “When will she come back then?”

Lu Jiaguang replied, “I called her yesterday, but nobody answered at her place or at the Guh Residence. Third Uncle, next year Jiaxin has to prepare for her high school exams, so she won’t come back before that.”

He guessed Jiaxin might be spending New Year’s with the He family, but he didn’t have the number for the He family mansion. With such a prominent family, there was nothing to worry about with Jiaxin staying at their place.

“So you’re saying she’ll come back after the exams?”

Lu Jiaguang answered with certainty, “Third Uncle, Jiaxin is so filial; she will definitely come to tell Third Aunt personally once she gets into university.”

Lu Hongjun didn’t say a word.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jiaguang said, “Third Uncle, before Jiaxin left, she asked me when you would divorce that woman. If you want Jiaxin’s forgiveness, you must divorce her.”

He could understand Lu Jiaxin’s feelings. That woman, along with Zhao Siyi, had almost cost her her life. If Third Uncle didn’t divorce that woman, it would definitely weigh on his conscience.

Seeing that Lu Hongjun remained silent, Lu Jiaguang didn’t push further, “I called Su Heming, he said Jiaxin’s grades are very good, and it won’t be a problem for her to get into Hong Kong University. I’ve heard that many students from Hong Kong University go abroad for further studies after graduation, and most of them settle overseas. If Jiaxin ends up settling abroad too, you’ll have a hard time seeing her in the future.”

Lu Hongjun said, “I’ve already proposed divorce to her. She didn’t refuse, but she made it a condition that Siyi must marry Fan Yinuo first.”

That meant he was expected to help make the marriage between Fan Yinuo and Zhao Siyi happen. Ding Jing was very clear-headed; with a mother in prison and Siyi’s abortion scandal ruining her reputation, she knew if they didn’t secure Yinuo now, Siyi would never be able to marry into a good family.

But Lu Jiaguang wouldn’t play along, “Third Uncle, you can’t trust that woman’s words. What if you get Siyi married into the Fan Family, and she makes other demands, refusing to divorce if you don’t agree?”

Lu Hongjun was actually still hesitant.

Lu Jiaguang could clearly see that this was because he couldn’t let go of Ding Jing. He didn’t lose his temper, simply stating, “Third Uncle, if you plan to continue living with that woman after she gets out of prison, we won’t get involved in your affairs anymore.”

If it hadn’t been for Ding Jing, he and his daughter wouldn’t have had a fallout. Jiaxin would have definitely come back to celebrate New Year’s if it were not for this discord. Unlike now, she wouldn’t even call or come back. Relationships need to be maintained; if things kept going like this, they would only grow more distant over time.

Lu Hongjun was well aware that neither Ding Jing nor Zhao Siyi were reliable. Now that his daughter was estranged from him, at most he could expect financial assistance but not her care. He could only rely on his nephew and grandnephews. Without the nephew’s help, he would be defenseless if others bullied him. His attitude immediately softened, “With the New Year approaching, it’s bad luck to go to the prison, let’s talk after the New Year.”

This time, Lu Jiaguang did not object, but he made it clear that he wouldn’t allow Lu Hongjun to keep dragging his feet: “Once the first lunar month is over, I’ll accompany you to talk to her.”

Lu Hongjun nodded in agreement.

Lu Jiaguang then said, “You’ve provided for Zhao Siyi for five years, and even got people to arrange a job for her. But when you fell ill, she refused to take care of you under the excuse of inconvenience. Third Uncle, after you divorce that woman, stop taking care of her.”

Lu Hongjun had already become alienated from Zhao Siyi. It was heartrending that, despite being uncomfortable with bodily care that could be done by a nursing aide, she had stayed at the hospital for less than a quarter of an hour before leaving.

“I’ll listen to you.”
