Chapter 286: Chapter 275: A Unique Flower Chapter 286: Chapter 275: A Unique Flower The next day, Lu Jiaxin met with Su Heyuan.

Su Heyuan said, “The loan will be in the account by next week. Jiaxin, do you really intend to donate this money to the Mainland? I haven’t spoken to your uncle yet. You still have time to change your mind.”

Lu Jiaxin, somewhat helpless, replied, “I’ve already made a public promise; what kind of person would I be if I don’t donate? Once the money is in the account, I’ll transfer it to you for the purpose of funding children who dropped out of school.”

“Twenty million, you’re really generous.”

Lu Jiaxin explained that it wasn’t her own money, and she wouldn’t feel heartbroken to donate it: “Tell Uncle Xie that the whereabouts of this money must be crystal clear, otherwise I won’t donate a single penny in the future. Oh, and I need the certificates of donation for both the last and this time.”

Su Heyuan assured that there would be no problem, any documentation needed would be provided.

After finishing the discussion about the shop, the two of them talked about the transfer of stock rights. Su Heyuan mentioned that he had only gathered three hundred and ten million so far and needed more time.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “As long as you collect the money before I start school, it’s fine. If you don’t have enough, just buy a part first, and buy the rest when you have the money.”

Su Heyuan never intended to buy all her shares. The company had developed well, not only because of the initial fashion show but also because of the policies Lu Jiaxin had set. If she sold all her stocks and then backed out, the fashion company would definitely not be as profitable. But he was someone who cared about face, and it wasn’t easy for him to say this now.

Two days later, the items arrived in Hong Kong, and Su Heyuan called Lu Jiaxin to inform her.

Su Heyuan said with a laugh, “I saw Gu Wenfeng checking the ceramics just now, and they are all good stuff. Jiaxin, where did you find so many treasures?”

There were no worries about calligraphy and jewelry, but ceramics could easily get chipped. As soon as the items arrived in the port, Gu Wenfeng checked the boxes with ceramics one by one.

Lu Jiaxin didn’t hide the truth from him, saying, “Some of these, I found while treasure hunting; some I collected from my shop in the Ancient Capital; some were covertly collected by Lu Hongjun over the years, and the top-grade jade jewelry were left to me by my mother.”

“Aside from the jade jewelry my mother left, you can keep any of the other items if you like, but you can only have one for free; more than that is not okay.”

Su Heyuan did fancy one of the items – a piece of Shoushan Stone: “My father likes to carve. He never had the time or conditions to really get into it before, but now he has taken up the hobby again. He will love this stone.”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “Then it’s a gift from me to your father.”

“How could I let you give this as a gift? How much is it? I’ll pay you.”

Lu Jiaxin was unsure of the price, but after thinking for a moment, she said, “Aren’t you about to move to a new place? Consider this piece of Shoushan Stone my housewarming gift to you.”

Su Heyuan chuckled and replied, “Okay, I’ll accept this gift for now.”

Afterward, Lu Jiaxin called Nie Zhan, and as soon as he picked up, she discussed the matter with him: “Yes, my stuff has arrived, and I’m ready to send it over now.”

Nie Zhan responded, “Wait for me, I’ll make a phone call.”

“Alright.”

After a while, Nie Zhan said, “I’ve just spoken to my elder brother. Are you still at the Guh Residence? I’ll come and pick you up.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Normally she wouldn’t want to trouble Nie Zhan, but the bank belonged to the Nie Family. Of course, she also asked because when Nie Zhan talked about his family members, his tone was warm, indicating that he had a good relationship with Nie Manli’s family. Mortgaging the items to the bank was a way to make them money–after all, someone has to earn it!

Lu Jiaxin changed into a red dress she bought in Seaport City.

Upon seeing her, Ah Mei asked, “Miss Cousin, are you going out?”

Jiaxin nodded and said, “Yes, when I returned to the Forty-nine City, I got everything my mom left for me. Besides, my dad also gave me his whole collection, and now the items are at the port. I need to go get them.”

Ah Mei was very surprised, “Your mom’s things, how come you only got them now?”

Lu Jiaxin patiently explained, “When my mom passed away, I was only eleven years old. She was afraid that I was too young to understand these things and might be swindled out of them, so she entrusted them to someone trustworthy. Now that I’ve grown up and come to Hong Kong, that person has handed the items over to me.”

Ah Mei had a look of realization, “Miss Cousin, they must be quite valuable, right?”

Lu Jiaxin nodded, “My mom liked jade, and my dad liked antiques and calligraphy. Both of them collected quite a lot of nice things.”

After finishing, she said with pride, “And now they’re all mine.”

Ah Mei, thinking about some things she had heard before, said, “But I heard that your daddy liked his new wife more and didn’t treat you well. How come he still gave the items to you?”

The corners of Lu Jiaxin’s mouth curled up into a smile, “That wicked woman, I sent her to prison.”

Sooner or later, the He Family will catch wind of this big batch of items being moved into Wan Sheng Bank. The reason she told Ah Mei about it was to prevent any misunderstanding from the He Family. People die for wealth, as birds die for food. If the He Family thought this batch of items belonged to Aunt, that would be a huge injustice.

Ah Mei said eagerly, “Miss Cousin, let me take you to the port to collect the items.”

Lu Jiaxin shook her head, indicating that Nie Zhan would come to pick her up, and then they would go to the port together. She had nothing else to do at the moment, so she was in the mood for a chat, “Ah Mei, how old are you this year?”

“Twenty-five.”

“Are you dating anyone?”

Ah Mei hesitated and then shook her head, indicating that she was too busy with work to date, and then asked Lu Jiaxin if she was dating Nie Zhan.

Lu Jiaxin turned her face to the side, looking at her cutely, “What do you think?”

It really wasn’t easy to guess. If you said they weren’t dating, the two had been seeing each other frequently lately. But if you said they were dating, the parties involved had never confirmed it. However, one thing was certain, Third Young Master Nie really cared about Miss Cousin.

Just then, Nie Zhan arrived, and she waved to Ah Mei before running out cheerfully.

Her cheerful demeanor was just like that of a woman in love. There was no need to guess anymore, Ah Mei was sure the two were dating.

As soon as Lu Jiaxin got into the car, the smile on her face immediately faded away.

Nie Zhan found it strange and asked, “Shouldn’t you be happy that the items have arrived? What’s wrong, is there a problem? Don’t worry, if there’s a mistake, we’ll think of a way to solve it.”

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, “No, the items are currently on their way to Wansheng Bank. It’s just that the housemaid caught me earlier and wouldn’t stop asking questions, it was a bit annoying.”

Nie Zhan felt that the Guh Residence’s maid was out of line, “What did she ask you?”

“She asked if I was dating you. She saw that gossip magazine article earlier and told me not to marry a stingy and frugal man. She also said that a beautiful girl like me could definitely find a boyfriend who is generous and caring.”

After listening, Nie Zhan frowned and said, “That maid has a problem.”

Lu Jiaxin said with some frustration, “She does have a problem, and she’s not the only one with issues. But Aunt won’t fire them, sometimes I just can’t figure out what she’s thinking.”

Nie Zhan actually couldn’t understand his mom either. He had been very puzzled and wanted to figure it out, but eventually gave up, “If you can’t figure it out, then don’t think about it. Don’t trouble yourself over it.”
