Chapter 309 - Chapter 309 Chapter 298 Forced Reconciliation

Chapter 309: Chapter 298 Forced Reconciliation Chapter 309: Chapter 298 Forced Reconciliation After reviewing the materials, He Mingzhu put forward a request that she be given a copy of the video and a photocopy of the documents.

Lu Jiaxin agreed, “I originally had no intention of settling, but Aunt Mei came to persuade me. If you want a settlement, that’s fine, but there are two conditions.”

“Speak.”

Lu Jiaxin stated her conditions and then declared resolutely, “First, when I turn eighteen, the guardianship of Aunt and Haifan must be transferred to me; second, the Guh Residence must be transferred to Haifan and my name; third, the entire year’s living expenses must be deposited into my account in a lump sum. If you agree to these three conditions, I’ll drop the lawsuit. Otherwise, I will continue to appeal until I turn eighteen.”

It was only now that she realized that lawsuits regarding inheritance in wealthy families were very complex, consuming a great deal of time; half a year was definitely considered quick.

He Mingzhu thought her conditions were not excessive and expressed her willingness to persuade He Zhuliang to agree upon returning.

Lu Jiaxin spoke coldly, “If he doesn’t agree, then wait for the court summons!”

Her willingness to settle was not out of volition but compulsion since she feared that He Zhuliang might make a move against her, leaving her no choice but to yield. However, this incident made her understand she wouldn’t have peace until the He Family collapsed.

He Mingzhu changed the subject, asking, “I hear that the major shareholder of Qirui Company is ‘green,’ which is you. Jiaxin, is this true?”

Lu Jiaxin replied, “Initially, it was me. However, not long ago, I transferred 30 percent of the shares to Su Heyuan, and now he is the major shareholder of Qirui.”

Before, He Mingzhu felt that Su Heyuan was overly attentive to Lu Jiaxin, even if Mrs. Lu was his cousin’s savior, it wasn’t necessary to show such meticulous concern. Now he understood, as Qirui turned out to be so profitable, Lu Jiaxin’s contributions were significant.

“Su Heyuan is quite fortunate.”

Lu Jiaxin shook her head, “It’s not luck. I need to study and don’t have time to manage the company. This is a case of mutual accomplishment.”

As long as Su Heyuan executed according to the policies she had set, Qirui would undoubtedly continue to grow and eventually become a leader in Hong Kong’s clothing industry. With the company’s scale increasing, him being a major shareholder would earn him not only wealth but fame as well, and marrying into a prestigious family would be within reach. She was willing to offer benefits since Su Heyuan and Su Heming had taken good care of her over the past two years.

He Mingzhu hesitated before asking, “Jiaxin, can you design jewelry?”

With increased competition and He’s Jewelry not launching any refreshing designs in recent years, of course, the He Group had issues in various aspects, and it wasn’t all the designers’ fault.

“No.”

In her previous life, Lu Jiaxin had not designed jewelry, but with the advantage of the epoch, creating novel and attractive jewelry wasn’t difficult. Nevertheless, she wouldn’t make wedding dresses for others anymore, especially not for the He Family.

He Mingzhu was quite regretful.

Lu Jiaxin no longer wanted to talk to her. Aunt always said that He Mingzhu was very kind, but now it seemed they were all cut from the same cloth. She had fallen out with the He Family, and yet they had the audacity to ask her about designing jewelry, which was truly laughable, “Miss He, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t entertain you any longer.”

After sending her off, Lu Jiaxin called Sun Wushuang to inquire about the current situation of her stock investments. She knew her stocks had risen, but she was unclear about the specifics.

Sun Wushuang informed Lu Jiaxin cheerfully that all the stocks she bought had increased, with the highest surging thirty-eight percent and the lowest twelve percent.

All the stocks I bought went up, which was within Lu Jiaxin’s expectations. After all, they were still behemoths three to four decades later, and as long as the overall environment wasn’t terrible, their stock prices would always rise.”

Lu Jiaxin said, “I sold all the stocks before the start of school.”

Sun Wushuang’s heart skipped a beat. Suddenly selling off all stocks, did she receive some adverse news? That shouldn’t be the case, though, as the market had been performing well recently.

Seeing that he was silent, Lu Jiaxin asked, “What’s wrong, is there a problem?”

Sun Wushuang came back to his senses and smiled, “No problem. Miss Lu, rest assured, I will have sold them for you by the end of the month. But with such a large sum of money, you’ll need to come over to handle it yourself.”

Recently the market had been steadily climbing, and the occasional fluctuations were normal, so the only explanation was that Miss Lu had a better investment opportunity.

“Fine.”

He Mingzhu returned home and conveyed Lu Jiaxin’s conditions to He Zhuliang and Mrs. He, “Daddy, Mommy, Lu Jiaxin said that if we don’t agree to her terms, she won’t drop the lawsuit.”

He Zhuliang’s face was full of wrath, enraged that a mere servant girl dared to threaten him. She was practically asking for death.

A united front, Mrs. He was also annoyed by Lu Jiaxin’s blackmail, but she was fully aware that she had to compromise at this special time.

He Zhuliang said, “I can agree to these terms. However, she must sign a document renouncing her inheritance from Fourth Aunt’s wealth.”

From her observations over the past year, He Mingzhu knew that Lu Jiaxin genuinely had no interest in Gu Xiuxiu’s wealth: “Lu Jiaxin will agree to this condition.”

He Zhuliang snorted coldly. Once the company got through this crisis, he’d settle scores with that wretched girl. Otherwise, if it got out that he did nothing, he’d be the laughingstock.

Noticing the expressions on the couple’s faces, He Mingzhu said, “Daddy, Mommy, once there was a wealthy businessman surnamed Chen who bragged about his affair with Nie Manlin. Unfortunately, Nie Zhan overheard it. Soon after, Chen’s company was targeted, and a month later, he was kicked off the board of directors. I heard he ended up bankrupt and had to make a living driving a taxi.”

The issue was that Nie Manlin never dated that man; it was all fabrications. Under such circumstances, how could Nie Zhan let him go? Although he didn’t have a good relationship with Nie Manlin and didn’t like how she was over men, it wasn’t for others to fabricate and tarnish Nie Manlin’s reputation.

Seeing that they remained silent, He Mingzhu spelled it out, “Nie Zhan is now pursuing Lu Jiaxin. If she has an accident, and in a fit of rage, he targets our company…”

She knew that when Lu Jiaxin was “green,” she greatly admired her and felt some regret for not recognizing her talents earlier; they could have established a good relationship and worked together. But the past could not be chased, and now she just hoped that Daddy and Mommy would not hold a grudge–she didn’t want such a young and talented woman to perish so early in life.

Mrs. He said, “Don’t worry, Young Master Nie is just infatuated now because it’s novel. Once he tires of her, then we can teach her a lesson.”

He Mingzhu’s heart jumped, but she didn’t try to persuade them further as doing so might make her parents suspicious of her. Besides, according to the information she had, Nie Zhan was sincere about Lu Jiaxin, not just playing around. With his protection, Lu Jiaxin would be safe; Daddy and Mommy wouldn’t lay a finger on her.

Lu Jiaxin soon received a reply, saying that He Zhuliang agreed to her demands. This outcome was within her expectations.

The next day, both parties met at Yan Yihua’s law firm. Li Xuanqi was also present this time because of the guardianship issue.
