Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 328 - Chapter 328 Chapter 317 Good Morning Boyfriend

Chapter 328: Chapter 317: Good Morning, Boyfriend Chapter 328: Chapter 317: Good Morning, Boyfriend Nie Zhan was utterly astonished; usually, when a couple had just confirmed their relationship, they would be all clingy–how could it be like Jiaxin, insisting on solving her own financial queries.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Mainly because these questions had troubled her for quite some days now, and if she didn’t figure them out today, she would lay in bed thinking, unable to sleep until late if she couldn’t understand them. Sigh, there’s no helping OCD.

Nie Zhan felt helpless, but since he had chosen her as his girlfriend, he had to indulge her no matter what. Putting things aside, he began explaining patiently to her.

The questions Lu Jiaxin raised were explained by Nie Zhan in a concise and clear way, and she understood them all on the first explanation.

After all the questions had been answered, Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but say, “I wish my university professors could be like you, able to teach so succinctly and clearly.”

“If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can call me at the time, and I’ll explain it to you,” he offered.

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, “That won’t do. You’re so busy with work; always finding you would just increase your workload. If I can’t keep up at that time, I’ll just pay for a tutor.”

Nie Zhan was a bit puzzled and voiced his thoughts, “Jiaxin, you are so outstanding, why do you lack confidence in yourself?”

Lu Jiaxin was initially taken aback, then smiled and said, “It’s not that I lack confidence, but that I have a clear understanding of myself. I excel in the arts, but I’m average at math, and I can only make up for it with extra effort.”

Nie Zhan naturally knew her math was average and said, “Nobody’s perfect. Like me, I’m terrible at singing; I’m off-key as soon as I sing, but I don’t feel bad about myself.”

It doesn’t matter if you can’t sing–it doesn’t change the fact that you’re outstanding!

Seeing his strong reaction, Lu Jiaxin thought about it and then realized, “Nie Zhan, after being with me for so long, do you think I’m the type to be unconfident?”

Nie Zhan shook his head. Of course not. If Lu Jiaxin were the type to be self-consciously insecure, he wouldn’t have fallen for her.

Lu Jiaxin rehearsed in her mind before speaking, “Nie Zhan, the education we received is different. I’ve been taught to be humble and low-key, restrained and steady. Hence, I reflect on my shortcomings and then correct them, growing and progressing in this process. The Western education you received nurtures the flamboyance of the individual.”

Being a citizen of the information-rich twenty-first century and having studied for three years in Huadu, she was able to keep up with Nie Zhan’s thoughts. Had it been a girl from the Mainland, she would not have been able to relate to him at this age. But having been educated in the Mainland for so many years, some things have been ingrained and cannot be changed.

Hearing her explanation, Nie Zhan found her even more precious, such transparency in someone so young, “Jiaxin, who taught you French? You speak it better than I do.”

Lu Jiaxin didn’t want to lie; one lie would require countless more to maintain it. She laughed and said, “In the Mainland, there used to be many people who had studied in France. With determination, anyone can learn it.”

Nie Zhan knew from her response that she didn’t want to discuss it further, so he changed the subject to the He Family’s affairs, “He Zhuliang won’t be able to get away this time, his position as chairman and President of the Board have been revoked.”

Lu Jiaxin knew He Zhuliang was inescapable; the evidence provided by Aunt would have been enough for execution ten times over in the Mainland. Even without a death sentence, his current arrest meant his enemies wouldn’t miss this chance to completely crush him.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Nie Zhan suddenly recalled Feng Qinglei’s words, “Jiaxin, do you have anything to do with He Zhuliang’s matter?”

Lu Jiaxin asked in surprise, “Nie Zhan, why would you think that? Or do you actually think I’m that capable in your eyes?”

The second part of her sentence was spoken in a teasing tone.

Nie Zhan said, “Jiaxin, I hope this really has nothing to do with you. You might not know, Yun Cheng was hit by a truck and seriously injured. He’s still in the ICU.”

Lu Jiaxin’s mood immediately sank.

Seeing her reaction, Nie Zhan knew she had already received the news. “I got the news before boarding the plane. He’s out of danger now, just waiting to wake up. But he has had one of his legs amputated and won’t be able to work as a journalist in the future.”

A sense of relief washed over Lu Jiaxin–being alive was what mattered.

Nie Zhan continued, “Gao Wen was actually also chased by the gang, but she was lucky and got rescued. After being saved, she immediately requested protection from the police station. Now she is staying in a safe house, with two CID officers providing close protection.”

Lu Jiaxin hadn’t expected that He Zhuliang would also send people to assassinate Gao Wen; it was truly lawless. She also understood why Aunt had been yielding all along–it was too cruel.

Nie Zhan said earnestly, “Jiaxin, He Zhuliang has lost his mind now, acting like a madman. If this has anything to do with you, don’t go back. Wait until his issues are settled before you return. I will deal with the school matters.”

This involved Xie Kaixiao, and Lu Jiaxin didn’t want him to know. “No, I don’t have that much influence.”

“It’s fortunate that I didn’t compete with him for the inheritance in the past; he would definitely have made a move against me.”

It didn’t matter that she and Nie Zhan were just boyfriend and girlfriend now– even if they got married, she wouldn’t let her guard down and show him everything. True love didn’t require uncovering each other’s secrets but rather facing difficulties together as a couple. If love wasn’t present and infidelity set in, knowing her secrets could lead her to an unknown demise.

Nie Zhan didn’t press her to speak, realizing that they’d just confirmed their relationship and she still didn’t completely trust him. He believed that in the future, when she understood his feelings, she would discuss important matters with him voluntarily.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Qian Xiaoxiao knocked on the door and said, “Sister Xin, it’s almost twelve o’clock, time to sleep.”

Nie Zhan checked the time and saw it was already eleven forty-nine. He found that time flew by when he was with Lu Jiaxin.

Lu Jiaxin yawned, “Nie Zhan, you must be tired after such a long flight, you should go back to rest quickly!”

“Okay.”

Lu Jiaxin had walked a lot while shopping that day, and asking Nie Zhan a lot of brain-burning questions had worn her out. After sending him off, she took a bath and fell asleep as soon as she hit the bed.

Nie Zhan, although he had been on a plane for more than ten hours, was too excited to fall asleep. Lying in bed, his mind raced with thoughts, and the more he thought, the less he could sleep.

Lu Jiaxin woke up at six fifty, got dressed after washing up, and began doing yoga in her room. She didn’t dare to go out for a run abroad because she was not familiar with the environment and didn’t trust the public safety enough.

At eight oh five, Nie Zhan came over for breakfast.

Lu Jiaxin saw him dressed in casual gray clothes–yes, anything looked good on him. She deliberately tilted her head, revealing a cute smile, “Good morning, boyfriend.”

Nie Zhan’s heart thumped wildly. Clutching his chest like a love-struck youngster, he beamed, “Good morning, girlfriend.”

Qian Xiaoxiao, standing with Gu Wenfeng outside, felt like a third wheel and questioned why she was even there.
