Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire

Chapter 310: Chapter 299 Untitled Chapter 310: Chapter 299 Untitled Nie Zhan accompanied Lu Jiaxin to the law firm, and with him there, Mrs. He wouldn’t dare to say anything too excessive. She was very aware that Lu Jiaxin dared to sue because she knew the true state of his family’s affairs, something she could not have known through her own connections. Nie Zhan, however, was different; coming from an ultra-wealthy family, he had extensive connections and was well-informed.

Mrs. He looked at Lu Jiaxin and said, “This agreement cannot be disclosed. If it is leaked, I will hold you accountable.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t cater to her demands, “On my side, besides me and my lawyer, only Nie Zhan is aware, and he’s not one to talk much. On the contrary, there are many loose talkers among the He family. If the information gets leaked, it’s definitely going to be from your side.”

Nie Zhan added, “Leaking this agreement would not benefit Jiaxin in any way; she wouldn’t do such a thing that’s harmful to others and not beneficial to herself. There are over ten servants in your household, not to mention that your siblings are not united. The likelihood of a leak is even greater on your side.”

He Mingzhu didn’t want them to argue and pulled Mrs. He aside. The mother and daughter talked for a good while before returning.

After the custody agreement and the contract for donating the villa were signed, He Mingzhu stated that the one hundred and twenty thousand in living expenses would be transferred that day.

After the agreement was signed, Lu Jiaxin said, “Mrs. He, Aunt and Haifan will have nothing to do with you from now on.”

Having nothing to do with this pack of jackals and wolves was a good thing; otherwise, who knows when one could be schemed against again.

Mrs. He spoke with a disdainful tone, “Lu Jiaxin, all of Fourth Aunt’s private savings were given to you, isn’t it only right for you to cover her living expenses?”

Lu Jiaxin refused to back down and retorted, “I really wonder where you get the audacity to mock me. Not counting the shares in He Group, just the office buildings, shops, and high-end residences under the Aunt’s name are worth over a hundred million. You took so much of her property, not only did you dismiss Aunt Mei and the others, but you also failed to give Aunt her medication on time. You think I don’t know what you’re up to?”

Mrs. He felt she was both the prosecutor and judge: “Then swear, if you have taken Fourth Aunt’s private savings, you will never in your life…”

Lu Jiaxin scoffed, “I dare to take a poisonous oath, do you?”

In Lu Jiaxin’s heart, Gu Xiuxiu’s three thousand yuan in private savings was her nest egg, and she was merely safeguarding it. Of course, she would certainly invest the money because that was the only way to generate more. Otherwise, with the rapid increase in prices, the three thousand wouldn’t be enough if she lived into her seventies or eighties.

He Mingzhu grabbed Mrs. He and said, “Mommy, didn’t you arrange to go for a spa with Aunt Lisa at ten? It’s almost ten now; if we don’t leave, we’ll be late.”

She took Mrs. He out, and once they were in their own car, He Mingzhu said, “Mommy, what if Nie Zhan tells those banks about our family’s financial situation? What do you think will happen?”

If those banks found out that Daddy had mortgaged the company’s shares and didn’t have the money to redeem them, they would definitely come to press for the debt. The stock price would plummet if the news got out. But that was the least of it. If someone took advantage of the situation and launched an attack, the company could easily change hands. Such things happen in Hong Kong frequently; they were not unusual.

Mrs. He said coldly, “Let her be proud for a few days. Once Nie Zhan is done with her, I’ll make her pay.”

He Mingzhu frowned and said, “Mommy, Qirui Company is currently valued at one billion. With this trend, Qirui could go public in no more than three years. Su Heyuan is no pushover. If we mess with Lu Jiaxin and affect his business, he definitely won’t let it go.”

Mrs. He said angrily, “He Mingzhu, whose side are you really on?”

He Mingzhu spoke very directly, “Mummy, Lu Jiaxin made hundreds of millions in assets within a year. We should have befriended such a person. Now that we’ve missed the chance, we shouldn’t offend her any further. If we do as you just said, and she escapes, she will definitely seek crazy revenge, and we will fall into danger by that time.”

After a pause, she continued, “Mummy, Su Heyuan’s uncle is a high-ranking official in the Mainland, and Lu Jiaxin’s mother saved his only son. The negotiation results are out now, and in twelve years, Hong Kong will return to the Mainland. If something happens to Lu Jiaxin, and Su Heyuan teams up with them against us… Mummy, we cannot afford the consequences.”

Unfortunately, she was misinformed. Had she known that Lu Jiaxin had made over two million selling shoes, she would have certainly made an ally of her. With such talent and money-making skills, their alliance would definitely have yielded greater benefits, but alas, the world has no place for ‘what ifs.’

Mrs. He did not speak, but this did not mean she had given up. Ruining someone did not necessarily require their death or maiming–other methods could work too.

In the law firm, Lu Jiaxin said nothing, but once she was in the car, and Gu Wenfeng was the driver again, she finally spoke, “Nie Zhan, the He family will not let me off. I can’t just sit and wait for doom.”

Nie Zhan had seen the way Mrs. He looked at Lu Jiaxin, “Jiaxin, with someone like He Zhuliang, unless you suppress him and leave him with no opportunity to recover, he will definitely seek revenge.”

“Jiaxin, he has connections with syndicates. If he knows you’re against him, he’ll definitely get gang members to chase you down or pay a hefty sum for a hitman to take your life. So, if we are to deal with him, we must operate from the shadows, not openly confront him.”

“Anonymous reporting?”

Nie Zhan immediately refused, “No, making an anonymous report now would make you his first suspect. Jiaxin, don’t worry, I will secretly gather evidence of his crimes.”

As soon as she heard the word “evidence,” she quickly interjected, “Don’t, if you investigate him and startle the snake, it could be dangerous. Don’t get involved in this; I’ll solve it myself.”

Not wanting Nie Zhan to worry, she hastily added, “Rest assured, I will act only after ensuring my own safety. And if I can’t solve it, I will definitely seek your help without any hesitation.”

Back at the hotel, Lu Jiaxin called Aunt Mei to hire someone to clean the Guh Residence, as she was about to pick up Guh Xiuxiu and Guh Haifan.

Aunt Mei was both surprised and delighted. She hadn’t expected Lu Jiaxin to act so quickly and said eagerly, “Miss Cousin, I’ll find someone right away.”

Considering that Guh Xiuxiu had many belongings, Lu Jiaxin asked Gu Wenfeng to rent a van from the car service. Despite advanced notice, when they arrived, Guh Xiuxiu’s belongings were still not packed.

Lu Jiaxin did not scold the two maids, but simply ordered Qian Xiaoxiao and Gu Wenfeng to help pack up. She herself went downstairs to find Guh Xiuxiu, followed by Nie Zhan.

Upon entering the He family old house, he dared not let Jiaxin out of his sight.

Guh Xiuxiu no longer recognized Lu Jiaxin. Before, she would always ask cheerfully who she was, but now she kept backing away, seemingly afraid of her.

Thinking of the frequent abuse of the elderly by caregivers in her past life, she rushed forward and grabbed Guh Xiuxiu’s arm, lifting up her long sleeve. Fortunately, after a thorough inspection, she found no injuries on her body.
