Chapter 333 - Chapter 333 Chapter 322 Return to Hong Kong

Chapter 333: Chapter 322 Return to Hong Kong Chapter 333: Chapter 322 Return to Hong Kong Lu Jiaxin didn’t deny it, as many things can’t be hidden when two people live together in the future. Moreover, with the matter of nurturing the shell company before, even if her suggestions were a bit bold, Nie Zhan wouldn’t be too surprised.

“What do you think of my suggestion?”

Nie Zhan said, “I will stockpile more land, and keep the debt ratio within fifty percent. Jiaxin, you will also start a company in the future, and your debt ratio should not exceed this limit either, otherwise it’s very easy to run into trouble.”

Lu Jiaxin smiled and agreed. A person’s energy is limited, and having learned from her experience in the past life, she knew she needed to balance work and leisure. Therefore, clothing would be her main focus, with finance and other investments as secondary.

On the plane, Lu Jiaxin had no desire to chat and was half-asleep the whole flight. It wasn’t until the plane had landed that Nie Zhan asked her if she wanted to stay in a hotel or go to the Guh Residence.

Without a second thought, Lu Jiaxin said, “Let’s not go to the Guh Residence, we’ll stay in a hotel tonight. Tomorrow morning we’ll first visit Aunt at the Guh Residence and then go house hunting.”

“Alright.”

Nie Zhan had already talked with the real estate agent, and they would visit the western-style house the next morning. He had described the layout of the house to her and Lu Jiaxin liked it upon hearing, but she still needed to see it in person.

“Alright.”

After a good sleep, Lu Jiaxin felt refreshed. Realizing she hadn’t contacted Su Heming for a while, she immediately made a phone call to him.

The phone was quickly answered by Su Heming himself, “Sister Xin, you’ve finally come back? If you didn’t return, I was about to go abroad to find you.”

Lu Jiaxin teased him, “You’d go abroad to find me? You don’t speak English, and have no acquaintances there; if you really went, I’d have to turn around and look for you.”

Su Heming admitted she was being stubborn, “I may not speak English, but I could bring someone who does! Let’s not talk about this. Jiaxin, your dad has remarried, did you know about this?”

“I landed three hours ago and have been sleeping in the hotel ever since. How would I know about it?”

Su Heming was furious when he heard the news, that such a big decision was made without consulting Lu Jiaxin, “Is Lu Hongjun unable to live without a woman? It hasn’t been long and he’s already remarried, to a widow with five children at that. That widow, being poor, has sons of marrying age who can’t find brides. Marrying your dad is clearly for the sake of his house and money.”

Lu Jiaxin waited for him to finish ranting, then smilingly said, “It’s fine, let him marry if he wants to, since it doesn’t affect me here in Hong Kong. Speaking of which, it’s better that he remarried. Later, if he gets sick, his wife can take care of him and it won’t trouble my eldest brother and Second Brother.”

“How can you not be angry at all?”

Lu Jiaxin was quite straightforward, “That person means less to me than a stranger, why should I get angry? It’s not worth damaging my health over it!”

Su Heming felt that he had been angry for no reason, “It’s good that you can think this way. Such a lousy guy isn’t worth our anger,”

Lu Jiaxin truly wasn’t worried, “Don’t worry, I would donate my money to those in need rather than give him a penny to spend.”

Su Heming cautioned her not to go back anymore, to avoid getting stuck with them. Now that he and his brothers had made money, relatives from their hometown, as well as old acquaintances of their family, were clinging to them like plasters, disgusting him to death. He had always been straightforward with these shameless people. When he and his son were facing hardships and suffering, where were they to lend a hand? Now that they had become affluent, these people wanted to take advantage, as if the world worked that way. Of course, they would repay those who harbored good intentions or extended a helping hand to them.

Lu Jiaxin said, “I need to go back before the end of the year and also before Qingming Festival next year. After that, I won’t go back unless there’s something important.”

Her trip back before the end of the year was mainly to pay respects to Mrs. Lu, and she planned to entrust the matter of buying a house to He Bin. He was familiar with the Mainland and specialized in this area.

“It’s very tiring for you to keep running back and forth like this!”

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “After next year, I will move my mother’s and grandmother’s graves here. But first, I need to find a Feng Shui master to choose a good location, and then select an auspicious day for the relocation.”

“Let me know if you need my help.”

Lu Jiaxin expressed that she wouldn’t be polite with him and chatted with him about some interesting things she came across during her trip, and before they knew it, an hour had passed.

When evening came, Lu Jiaxin called home. At this hour, Second Sister-in-law Lu and the others were all at home, so the call was quickly answered.

When Second Sister-in-law Lu heard her voice, she was both shocked and delighted, “Jiaxin, where have you been all this time? We couldn’t contact you, and it was only after Jiajie asked Xiao Su that we found out you went on a study tour.”

Calling the trip a study tour, Comrade Xiao Su did a great job. She must send her double the gifts. Although it wouldn’t be a problem to let them know, she didn’t want to listen to their nagging.

Lu Jiaxin said, “I called Su Heming this afternoon, and he said that Lu Hongjun has remarried, to the woman with five children that big brother mentioned to me last time.”

Speaking of this, Second Sister-in-law Lu couldn’t help but complain, “That woman is the same age as me. I didn’t attend the banquet. Later, your dad specially took her to the store to buy clothes. She wore flamboyant makeup and a dress with a cinched waist; she didn’t look like someone with the intent of living a peaceful life.”

She was rather reserved when talking to Lu Jiaxin but in front of Lu Jiazong, she directly referred to Tang Sufen as the Fox Spirit. A woman in her forties with her face painted white like a wall, speaking in affected tones, she really disdained that woman, inflating the price of the clothes by fifty percent.

Lu Jiaxin scoffed, “He doesn’t fancy a woman who lives a down-to-earth life; he likes the kind that dresses up, acts tender, and flatters him.”

She really hit the nail on the head.

Second Sister-in-law Lu said, “Jiaxin, don’t go see her when you come back. That woman is formidable! It wasn’t ten days after the banquet with your dad that she arranged a marriage for her useless eldest son, and the wedding is set for next month. They even want us to attend. Pfft, I won’t go. They’re dreaming if they think I’m going to give them a gift of money!”

Lu Jiaxin thought her temperament really suited her second brother well.

Second Sister-in-law Lu continued, “Yes, that woman has moved the three younger ones into the family housing, and gave her own two rooms to the two oldest sons. I heard she even spent money renovating those two rooms. Before marrying your dad, her family was so poor they couldn’t afford meat, but now she not only has the money to take a wife for her son but also to decorate the house. Jiaxin, that woman is after your dad’s money for sure. Now, I’m worried even the family housing might not stay safe.”

Lu Jiaxin was actually indifferent, but it still made her feel uncomfortable to see the house taken by such people. She didn’t want to waste time and energy fighting over it. After some thought, she considered giving the house to the second branch of the Lu Family. However, she kept this idea to herself, knowing Second Sister-in-law Lu’s character would lead her to refuse it outright. If the second branch didn’t want it when the housing reform came, and it was offered to Tang Sufen and her children, Second Sister-in-law Lu certainly wouldn’t decline. With her bold and impudent nature, she was definitely capable of taking back the family housing.
