Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 266 - Chapter 266 Chapter 255 The Villain

Chapter 266: Chapter 255: The Villain Chapter 266: Chapter 255: The Villain Xiao Qiu said with a laugh, “Sis, you don’t need to give Zao Hua extra money anymore. I’ve asked a middle school classmate to send her malt extract, biscuits, and other food. Additionally, I lent her two hundred over New Year’s and told her to let me know if it wasn’t enough, and not to overexert herself.”

Lu Jiaxin was somewhat surprised, this girl was getting more thorough with her actions, “Did she accept it?”

Xiao Qiu said helplessly, “At first she didn’t want to, I told her she could pay me back double when she earned money, but unexpectedly she said she’d pay back tenfold, otherwise she wouldn’t accept it. I had no choice but to agree. Auntie, do you think that’s silly? Tenfold, if I lent her one thousand, wouldn’t she have to pay me back ten thousand in the future?”

Of course, her agreement was just to convince Zao Hua to take the money. She would never actually take ten times the amount back in the future; the more Zao Hua insisted on it, the more it pained her.

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “If she wants to pay you back tenfold, you can just keep it, but you can return it in other ways.”

It’s certainly better than stubbornly refusing to accept the money and then having to skimp on meals. High school requires many reference materials, as well as study and personal items, and two hundred yuan for a term is far from enough.

“We’ll see when the time comes.”

Lu Jiaxin said, “A promise made is a debt unpaid. I’ll give you one thousand yuan later; you can send it to her in separate mails.”

Sending so much money to Zao Hua all at once isn’t a good thing; what if someone targets and steals it! There are many good people in the world, but there are also plenty of bad ones.

This time, Xiao Qiu didn’t refuse again, she said, “Auntie, the clothing store will stay the same as it is now, I hold a thirty percent share and you seventy percent, and I deposit every month’s profit into your bank book.”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “The shop isn’t just being handed over to you; you need to pay a transfer fee. If you don’t want it, I’ll just post a transfer notice on the shop’s door in a couple of days.”

Xiao Qiu was uncertain all of a sudden.

Lu Jiaxin was so tired from walking so much today, “Don’t rush, discuss it with your Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law tonight, I’m going back to my room to rest.”

Entering the room, Lu Jiaxin found the bed made with blankets which had been just a bare bed in the morning. When she lay down, she could still smell the scent of sunlight, and she had to admit that Second Sister-in-law Lu was very considerate.

This time, Lu Jiaxin didn’t sleep for long, waking up after just over an hour. When she went outside, she saw Lu Jiaguang helping to move tables, preparing to eat in the yard.

Lu Jiaguang examined her carefully, noticing her rosy complexion and fair skin tinged with red, a sign that her year in Hong Kong had indeed been very good. “I called you several times, you never answered, I even thought you didn’t do well on your exams.”

Lu Jiaxin slapped her forehead, “Oh, I forgot about it in the hustle. Big brother, don’t worry, there won’t be any problems this time.”

With that assurance, Lu Jiaguang was relieved, “Since your exams are over and you don’t have anything else to do, you can stay in the Forty-nine City for a while, right?”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “There are still many things waiting for me over there. Once I finish dealing with the clothing store, I’ll have to go back, at most in about a week.”

Lu Jiaguang was astonished, “You are going to sell the clothing store?”

The clothing store was profitable, making as much in a month as he made in five or six months. It was a pity to sell it to someone else.

Lu Jiaxin looked at Xiao Qiu, and said with a smile, “Xiao Qiu said she doesn’t want it, so I can only sell it. I won’t bother coming back in the future, so why would I take the lion’s share of the hard-earned money? People would say I’m greedy. I don’t lack the money, so why should I carry such a bad reputation?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiu became anxious, “Auntie, the shop is yours; it’s only right for you to take the bigger share.”

Lu Jiaguang understood the situation now, “Xiao Qiu, since your aunt wants to transfer it to you, don’t refuse it. However, you must give her the full transfer fee. Also, for the shop’s rent, deposit it into your aunt’s bank book every quarter according to the market price.”

Xiao Qiu nodded again and again.

As they were talking, Wang Xiaojie arrived with Lu An and Lu Zhang, “I called Lu Ping, and he said he would arrive later.”

“Lu Ping should be doing his internship now, right? His work can’t be delayed.”

Wang Xiaojie said with a smile, “It’s okay, he can swap a shift with someone. Jiaxin, the climate in Hong Kong really does nourish people, you’ve become even more beautiful after spending a year there.”

Lu Zhenzhen looked at Lu Jiaxin and said, “Auntie, you are even prettier than the fairies on TV.”

Lu Jiaxin pinched her chubby little face, “How come my Zhenzhen’s mouth has become so sweet? Let your auntie check if you’ve put honey on it.”

Lu Zhenzhen hugged her and exclaimed, “I’m speaking from my heart. Auntie, you are truly more beautiful than the fairies on TV.”

Lu Jiaxin put the pearl hairpin she bought for her into her hair and nodded, “Now my Zhenzhen is also a beautiful fairy.”

Looking in the mirror, Lu Zhenzhen yelled out how beautiful it was, “Auntie, you are just too good.”

Lu An and Lu Zhang both looked at her longingly, almost ready to outright ask their aunt if they had anything.

Lu Jiaxin found it funny but didn’t keep them in suspense and directly took out the gifts she prepared for them. Both were watches, electronic watches.

Lu Zhenzhen had a watch too, a pink one, same style but different color from Lu An’s. She was both shocked and delighted, “Auntie, I have one too?”

She thought that after getting the pearl headband, there would be no gift for her.

Lu Jiaxin tapped her little nose and said, “Everyone is accounted for, none less. Study hard, and when you get into university, whatever you want your auntie will buy for you.”

As for Lu An, getting into a polytechnic was already a stretch, let alone a university.

Lu Jiaxin had bought gifts for everyone; for the men, it was shaving kits, and for the women, skincare products. She didn’t buy clothes, as Xiao Qiu sold clothes and buying them again would be redundant.

As they were talking, Lu Jiajie arrived with Qiangqiang and Xiao Feng. The moment he saw Lu Jiaxin, he was astonished, “There’s a saying that a girl changes eighteen times as she grows; it’s really true. My Xinxin is becoming more and more beautiful.”

It seems that Hong Kong really does nurture people; not only does she look beautiful, but her clothes are also very fashionable.

Nourishment isn’t wasted, Lu Jiaxin courteously thanked him.

Qiangqiang cheerfully called out to his aunt upon seeing Lu Jiaxin, while Xiao Feng, with her head lowered, didn’t call out and only did so after being urged by Lu Jiajie.

Lu Jiajie said with some headache, “Jiaxin, don’t mind her. I don’t know what’s wrong with this child; she’s becoming less and less sociable.”

Not only was she unsociable, but her temper was getting worse as well, throwing tantrums at the drop of a hat. He was helpless and could only try to appease her as best he could.

Lu Jiaxin didn’t mind, she said with a smile, “It’s okay, children grow up and have their own thoughts. Just let it be natural.”

After saying that, she went inside to get the gifts she had prepared for the two children. What she got for Qiangqiang was a Rubik’s Cube, which was very popular in Hong Kong, while Xiao Feng’s, like Zhenzhen’s, was a beautiful electronic watch.

But to Lu Jiaxin’s surprise, Xiao Feng knocked the watch to the ground and shouted loudly, “I don’t want your things, you bad person.”

The room suddenly fell silent.
