Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 334 - Chapter 334 Chapter 323 He Hanxuan is Dead

Chapter 334: Chapter 323: He Hanxuan is Dead Chapter 334: Chapter 323: He Hanxuan is Dead Second Sister-in-law Lu told Lu Jiaxin that Lu Hongjun and Tang Sufen just had their wedding banquet without registering for a marriage certificate, “Lao Wu said that not registering is no different from registering, but I don’t see how it’s any different.”

Now, as long as the banquet has taken place, not only do friends and relatives recognize them as a couple, but even the state acknowledges it as a de facto marriage. Therefore, registering or not makes no difference, so she really didn’t understand Lu Jiajie’s demand.

Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, “Actually, there’s no difference.”

She didn’t want to keep listening to Second Sister-in-law Lu talk about Lu Hongjun’s business, as she had no interest, so she took the initiative to ask about Xiao Qiu.

Xiao Qiu was standing right beside her at the time, and upon hearing Lu Jiaxin ask about her, she immediately grabbed the phone to chat. First, she talked about her recent business, and then she expressed her desire to rent the shop next door to sell children’s clothing, but Second Sister-in-law Lu and the others did not agree.

Lu Jiaxin thought she had great ideas, and encouraged her, “Xiao Qiu, you are still young; don’t be afraid of losing money and don’t fear failure. If you want to do something, just go ahead and do it; don’t give up just because of some concerns, as you might regret it later.”

“Thank you, Auntie.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiaxin stretched lazily and was about to ask Nie Zhan to go have dinner when Xiaoxiao told her that Nie Zhan had gone back to the office.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaxin returned to her room to continue reading. When it was about six o’clock, Nie Zhan arrived, and the first thing he said was, “He Hanxuan is gone.”

Lu Jiaxin was taken aback at first before she understood what he meant, “How is he gone?”

Nie Zhan, with a stern face, replied, “Yesterday, he went to have dinner with some friends, and on his way back, several gangster’s henchmen jumped out and slashed him; one of the strikes hit a vital spot. He was rushed to the hospital, but he died before they even got there.”

Lu Jiaxin frowned upon hearing this, “This sounds like revenge. Was it because of his father’s involvement, or was it his own doing?”

Nie Zhan was also unsure, “If you want to know, I can ask some friends to inquire.”

Lu Jiaxin waved her hand, indicating that favors shouldn’t be used on such matters, “He’s gone; moreover, the Hong Kong media should be interested in his case and will dig out the reason.”

Situations like this had to be either crimes of passion or vengeance. Regardless of the motive, it had nothing to do with her; it was enough just to watch the excitement.

The two chatted about university enrollment over dinner. Nie Zhan mentioned that the school did not provide accommodation, and it was best to rent an apartment next to the university. That way, if she was tired or it got too late, she wouldn’t have to go back.

Hong Kong University did offer accommodations, but the dormitories were limited in number, so if one wanted to stay on campus, they had to apply. There were many applicants, but the spots were limited, so it was a matter of luck. Those who did not get a spot had to rent a place outside the university, and while there were apartments available, they were more expensive compared to the campus dorms.

Lu Jiaxin was aware of this and, given her situation, naturally wouldn’t apply for a campus dormitory, “Let’s not rent it for now, we’ll see after school starts.”

It would depend on the circumstances! If it was needed, she would rent; if not, she would just go home.

Nie Zhan said, “I will accompany you to register on the opening day.”

“No need, I can go by myself.”

“No, it’s such an important moment, I must be there.”

Seeing his serious expression, Lu Jiaxin was startled at first and then understood. Accompanying her to register was just an excuse; declaring his claim was the real purpose.

“Okay.”

The next day after breakfast, Lu Jiaxin went to the Guh Residence, and as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Aunt Hong, who asked with a frown, “What are you doing here?”

Aunt Hong was very flustered upon seeing her, and she stuttered a bit, “Miss Cousin, I heard that Old Lady Guh moved back and came over to visit her.”

Lu Jiaxin looked at the clothes on her body and said expressionlessly, “You think I would believe that nonsense. Tell me, who let you come back?”

Aunt Hong hung her head in silence.

The sun was very harsh at that moment, and Lu Jiaxin, with a stern face, walked inside. Once she reached the living room and sat down, she threw her bag to one side and leaned back.

Aunt Mei soon came over and said with great respect, “Miss Cousin, you’ve arrived.”

Lu Jiaxin lifted her chin toward the doorway and asked, “What’s going on? Didn’t I say I wouldn’t employ her anymore? What, did you take my words as wind passing by your ears?”

Even though she knew that Aunt Hong hadn’t betrayed Gu Xiuxiu and had returned to fool He Zhuliang and the others, Lu Jiaxin really detested her previous attitude. The betrayal was fake, but the contempt for mainlanders and trying to “pua” her was real.

Aunt Mei hadn’t expected the discovery to come so quickly, “Miss Cousin, Old Lady Guh was missing Aunt Hong and kept calling for her. I couldn’t persuade her otherwise, so I let Aunt Hong come back for a visit. I didn’t expect that after seeing Aunt Hong, Old Lady Guh clung to her and wouldn’t let her leave, so she had her stay for the time being.”

“Stay for the time being?”

Aunt Mei explained, “Aunt Hong knows you don’t like her and won’t let her stay in the Guh Residence, she just wanted to spend more time with Old Lady Guh and planned to leave before you returned.”

After saying this, she pleaded, “Miss Cousin, please let Aunt Hong stay! She takes care of Old Lady Guh even more thoroughly and attentively than I do, better than Nurse Chen.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Hong walked in and knelt in front of Lu Jiaxin, “Miss Cousin, please let me stay, even without a salary. Miss Cousin, with Old Lady Guh in this state, I truly can’t leave with peace of mind.”

Lu Jiaxin looked at the two of them, her expression cold as she said, “Aunt Mei, you’re making me out to be the villain here.”

Aunt Mei felt a chill in her heart and dared not plead any further.

Lu Jiaxin impatiently saw all this and said, “Get up quickly! It’s a new society now; you are employees, not slaves of the ancient times, don’t keep kneeling at every turn.”

Qian Xiaoxiao saw that she still hadn’t gotten up and stepped forward to forcefully pull her up.

“Where’s Auntie?”

Aunt Mei bowed and said, “Old Lady Guh was loosening the soil in the yard just now, she got tired and went back to the room to rest. Young Master Cousin has gone to the bookstore to buy books, he needs some reference materials soon.”

Lu Jiaxin inquired about Gu Xiuxiu’s health and, knowing that she had been healthy and hadn’t gotten sick for over a month, nodded slightly.

After sitting for a while, Lu Jiaxin hadn’t seen Nurse Chen and couldn’t help but ask.

Aunt Mei hesitated before saying, “Miss Cousin, Nurse Chen said she had something urgent at home the night before last and went back. I didn’t ask much at the time, just told her to come back the next morning, but she still hasn’t returned.”

“Miss Cousin, you agreed when you hired her that she would have four days off each month. But she has already taken six days off this month and keeps coming up with excuses to avoid staying up at night.”

Taking a high salary but always making excuses, such a person definitely couldn’t be kept. Upon hearing this, Lu Jiaxin immediately said, “I will fire Nurse Chen, and then hire someone who is serious and responsible.”

Aunt Mei sighed, afraid that she might have upset Lu Jiaxin and that she would be fired too.

Lu Jiaxin still needed to go look at houses and couldn’t wait for Gu Xiuxiu to wake up. However, before leaving, she looked at Aunt Hong and said, “Since you say you are willing to take care of Auntie without a salary, then stay.”

Even though she didn’t like her, she couldn’t deny that Aunt Hong would take care of Gu Xiuxiu with more dedication than those nurses, after all, there was a bond of over thirty years. Not giving a salary was a test for her, to see how long she could persist; if she lasted more than three months, she would let her stay.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hong joyfully thanked her repeatedly.
