Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 279 - Chapter 279 Chapter 268 Siblings for Life

Chapter 279: Chapter 268: Siblings for Life Chapter 279: Chapter 268: Siblings for Life Thinking of Lu Jiaxin’s plight, Su Heming spoke with some guilt, “I’m sorry, your mom passed because of Yichen, yet we failed to protect you.”

Lu Jiaxin replied with a smile, “You were overwhelmed at that time, and Aunt Su wasn’t in great health either. I don’t blame you. However, when I returned to the capital this time and saw Aunt Su, her complexion looked much better than before.”

With Su Hongying’s health improving, it also quelled the ambitions of those who aspired to climb up the ladder. Xie Yichen could also grow up safe and sound, in good health.

Su Heming nodded and said, “My aunt’s health had been seriously depleted. In the past, we didn’t have the means or strict oversight, and she wouldn’t accept the fish maw and bird’s nest and other nourishing goods that my elder brother sent her. It’s only in these past two years with more lenient policies that she began accepting and eating them daily.”

What can one say? Everyone has their own difficulties.

Su Heming asked, “My brother said you want to step away from Qirui. Why is that? Qirui is making so much money now, you can earn thirty to forty million a year. How can you bear to leave?”

“How did you know about that?”

Su Heming said unhappily, “He plans to pull all the money out of the appliance factory, so of course, I had to ask for the reason. Jiaxin, Qirui is like a goose that lays golden eggs. Why would you give that up? Did my brother do something excessive? I’ll tell you, don’t back down. The company wouldn’t be this successful without you. If anyone should leave, it should be him.”

Lu Jiaxin laughed heartily, “Why is your elbow turning the wrong way? Aren’t you afraid your brother will find out and slap you for it?”

Seeing her demeanor, Su Heming breathed a sigh of relief internally. It must be some other reason, not his brother burning bridges. That’s a relief, since he wanted to be siblings with Lu Jiaxin for a lifetime!

After dinner, Su Heming called Xue Mao to join them as they departed.

Seeing Xue Mao still hesitant, Lu Jiaxin encouraged with a smile, “Let’s go, Boss Su has spoken. We should at least give him that much face.”

Xue Mao nodded and said, “Alright then, let’s go!”

Sometimes, Su Heming felt that fate was a very mysterious thing. If Xue Mao hadn’t saved Lu Jiaxin, he would probably still be anxiously living meal to meal, unlike now, not having to worry about food or clothes and doing what he loves every day with joy.

After taking Lu Jiaxin to the hotel, Su Heming, somewhat worried, also checked into a room at the hotel, right next to Lu Jiaxin’s.

Tired, Su Heming went back to the hotel, took a hot shower, and then called Su Heyuan, “Elder brother, Jiaxin has arrived in Peng City, she’s with me now, and I don’t know what trouble she’s in.”

Su Heyuan wasn’t surprised to hear this, given how close the two were, “It’s a good thing.”

“A good thing? What good thing?”

After learning the whole story, Su Heming cursed, “If it were me, I’d take the stuff and never go back, regardless of whether he’s dead or alive.”

Su Heyuan knew his temperament, “You’re just speaking out of anger. Taking the inheritance and then not caring about your own father’s life or death would be really indecent. When she becomes famous, there’ll be people who use this against her, and how could she be trusted if she were seen to have no bottom line?”

Lu Jiaxin’s goal was to become a prominent businessperson. For a small trader it wouldn’t matter, but establishing a good reputation is essential for a major businessperson.

Su Heming was just venting, never seriously expecting Lu Jiaxin to neglect her own father. Otherwise, she’d be drowned in spit, “Elder brother, how much money have you raised now?”

“Twenty-three million so far.”

Su Heming was shocked, “That much? You didn’t sell the new villa you bought, did you?”

Su Heyuan said, smiling, “No, Grandfather lent me ten million. But even with Qirui’s earnings, this money couldn’t buy even half of Jiaxin’s shares.”

Su Heming said, “Elder brother, although I don’t know why Sister Jiaxin wants to exit, since the company you founded together is now so profitable, I think you shouldn’t buy all her shares. At the very least, let her keep some.”

Su Heyuan held the same opinion, “I will talk to her properly when she returns to Hong Kong.”

The two brothers talked for a while longer, when Su Heyuan suddenly asked if he wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong, “My villa has been ready to live in for several months. Let’s celebrate the festival there.”

“Just me, Dad, and you?”

Knowing he didn’t like Old Master Su, Su Heyuan didn’t insist, “Yeah, just the three of us. However, it would be even better if you were willing to bring your girlfriend.”

He also had no money; otherwise, he would have bought the villa next door, so that the brothers could live nearby and look out for each other in the future.

“We broke up.”

“Broke up? You had been dating for over a year, how come you broke up just like that?”

“Lost the feeling, so we split. Big brother, if you want Dad to have grandkids, you better hurry up–I’m still young and don’t want to get married for now. Alright, I’m going to hang up if there’s nothing else.”

After hanging up, Su Heming yanked out the phone line too, not wanting to hear any more nagging. Under thirty years old but as nagging as Monk Tang, it was a headache.

Meanwhile, Lu Jiaxin was chatting with Xue Mao. She had asked casually during the meal at the restaurant, but now she was inquiring in detail.

After Xue Mao finished talking about his own matters, he asked about Lu Jiaxin’s situation in Hong Kong, “I heard from Boss Heming that the He Family bullied you, is that true?”

He was worried at the time, but thankfully Boss Xiao Su said Sister Xin hadn’t been taken advantage of, otherwise he would have had to go to Hong Kong.

Lu Jiaxin chuckled and said, “Aunt doesn’t live with them, and I’ve only met them twice in the year I was in Hong Kong. Actually, it wasn’t really bullying, just that they considered me a poor relative coming for handouts, acting all high and mighty.”

“Madam Guh contacted you proactively, not because you begged to go there, they have no right to look down on you.”

Lu Jiaxin replied, “They’re people of no importance; don’t worry about them.”

Xue Mao nodded.

Lu Jiaxin talked about the Qirui company, “I want to sell all my shares to Su Heyuan, but he probably can’t gather that much money. We started the company together, and he probably doesn’t want me to completely pull out.”

Xue Mao didn’t understand business, but he understood Lu Jiaxin, “Sister Xin, just command me if you need anything. As long as it’s within my capability, I won’t hesitate to go through fire and water.”

Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, “What fire and water, this isn’t a matter of risking your life. I’m thinking of putting the remaining shares in your name; that way, it won’t affect me anymore.”

The main reason was that the company was quite profitable, and Su Heyuan didn’t have enough money to buy all the shares back, so keeping the remaining shares for dividends wasn’t a bad idea.

Xue Mao agreed immediately, “Sister Xin, I don’t understand these things, just directly tell me what to do and I’ll follow.”

“I haven’t explained it to you yet, how could you agree so quickly?”

Xue Mao said, “Sister Xin, you wouldn’t harm me.”

Lu Jiaxin certainly wouldn’t harm him, but she did worry others might, “The matter of the shares shouldn’t be told to anyone, remember, anyone.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell a soul.”

Lu Jiaxin added, “In the future, you mustn’t just sign your name or thumbprint on documents. Once you sign or thumbprint, you have to take responsibility. So whenever this happens, you must consult a lawyer first. I will arrange one for you when the time comes.”

Xue Mao agreed without hesitation.
