Chapter 421 - Chapter 421 Chapter 410 Su Hongyings Miscarriage

Chapter 421: Chapter 410: Su Hongying’s Miscarriage Chapter 421: Chapter 410: Su Hongying’s Miscarriage “Lonely Planet” once wrote, “If your Mediterranean dream is of warm weather and sapphire seas beneath ancient walls, then Croatia is the place where your dreams come true.”

Lu Jiaxin stayed there for twenty days. In her last life when she traveled, she definitely had to visit every scenic spot for a round of photos and check-ins. Now, it was different, she would just stroll around and look at things casually, and if she felt comfortable, she would stay for three to five days or even longer.

When they were leaving, she said to Gu Wenfeng, “What are your thoughts after seeing it all?”

Gu Wenfeng, short on words, simply said “Very beautiful.”

Lu Jiaxin, feeling somewhat melancholic, said, “There are many beautiful sceneries in the Mainland too, it’s just that they haven’t been developed yet. In the future, when they are developed, you can take your kids there to travel.”

“Aren’t you going, boss?”

Lu Jiaxin certainly would, “I’m busy now, only having time during winter and summer vacations. In the future, when work is less demanding, I’ll go both abroad and domestic, looking at beautiful scenery always improves the mood.”

Gu Wenfeng said bluntly, “Boss, you’ll be even busier after work.”

Lu Jiaxin disagreed with this, “As a boss, if you do everything yourself, then what do you need your employees for? A qualified boss spends most of their time enjoying leisure.”

Gu Wenfeng laughed and said, “Mr. Nie is very capable, but he has to be busy with work every day. According to what you said, doesn’t that make him an unqualified boss?”

Lu Jiaxin chuckled, “He wants to make it into the top-tier of Hong Kong’s rich, so he’s definitely busy. But when his businesses are all on track, he won’t be so busy anymore.”

When she first met Nie Zhan, he was simply running a real estate company. But after meeting her, he became very ambitious, opening jewelry companies and acquiring hotels, and God knows what industry he’ll be involved in next. Of course, Lu Jiaxin was very clear in her heart that his change was because of her.

“Are you sure about that, boss?”

Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but laugh herself, “I’m sure. When I graduate, I will help him with some of the work, so he won’t be as busy, and then we can travel together. Brother Gu, earning money is to make life better, not to be enslaved by it.”

Gu Wenfeng didn’t say any more.

Back in Hong Kong, Lu Jiaxin moved directly into the garden mansion in Deep Water Bay. All the furniture here was newly purchased, and she had sent the furniture she bought for the standalone western-style building to the Guh Residence.

Lu Jiaxin looked at the beautiful crystal chandelier in the living room and knew without asking that Nie Zhan had it replaced. This chandelier had a unique design and was made entirely of crystal, which she found very appealing.

After sitting down and finishing a glass of water, Lu Jiaxin called Nie Zhan, “Where did you order this lamp? I looked several places and didn’t see it!”

“Got a friend to buy it from Italy, I knew you’d like it when I saw the picture.”

Lu Jiaxin, with a smile all over her face, said, “I really like it. Ah Zhan, you’ve worked hard.”

Nie Zhan, hearing that sweet and coy voice, felt a lump in his throat and then involuntarily asked, “So, how are you planning to reward me?”

Lu Jiaxin’s lips curled up, “Wait a couple of days and I will cook you a big meal.”

Nie Zhan rejected the idea without hesitation, “As long as you like it, that means my hard work wasn’t in vain.”

He felt that cooking and such were things better left to chefs, their area of expertise. It wasn’t that he thought Lu Jiaxin’s cooking wouldn’t be delicious, but it was unnecessary.

“Then shall I treat you to Italian food?”

Nie Zhan had agreed, “You’ve been on the plane for so long, just rest at home today, and we’ll go out for Italian food tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Lu Jiaxin had just finished eating and was preparing to go upstairs to rest when the phone rang; it was Su Heyuan calling.

Su Heyuan’s voice was somewhat low as he said, “Jiaxin, are you busy right now? If you’re not, I’d like to come over.”

As soon as Lu Jiaxin heard him, she knew he must be having some trouble: “Come on over!”

She was initially planning to rest, but upon knowing that Su Heyuan was coming, she went upstairs to take a bath and change clothes. Calculating the time, Su Heyuan should be arriving soon, so she went downstairs with her hair still half-dry.

Seeing his haggard look, Lu Jiaxin was puzzled. She talked to Nie Zhan on the phone almost every day and had heard nothing about Su Heyuan’s business encountering any problems. She asked with concern, “You look so pale, what happened?”

Su Heyuan asked, “Do you have a study here?”

Lu Jiaxin understood. The matter must be something that Gu Wenfeng and Miao Na should not know about. She stood up and said, “The study is on the second floor.”

Inside the study, once Lu Jiaxin had bolted the door, she mentioned that the room was soundproofed; even if someone pressed their ear against the door, they wouldn’t be able to hear their conversation.

Su Heyuan nodded his head.

As Lu Jiaxin saw him sitting there with a stern face, not speaking, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat tense. She took the initiative to ask, “Did something happen to Aunt Su?”

Since they were keeping it from Gu Wenfeng and Miao Na, it clearly wasn’t a business issue. If it were business-related, the two of them wouldn’t understand and wouldn’t spread the news, so it had to be a family matter. Recalling the last time she saw Su Hongying, she was almost certain that something had happened to her.

Su Heyuan said, “The last time you saw my aunt looking pale wasn’t because she was sick; it was because she had just suffered a miscarriage not long ago. If you hadn’t mentioned it, she wasn’t planning on telling us.”

So it was a miscarriage; no wonder her complexion was so poor. Lu Jiaxin asked in confusion, “If she didn’t want you guys to know, she should have found an excuse to prevent me from visiting, right?”

If she had stopped her from visiting, she wouldn’t have noticed her weakened state. At that time, she thought Su Hongying was just sick, not realizing it was a miscarriage. Mainly because Su Hongying was in her forties and frail, Lu Jiaxin hadn’t considered that possibility.

Su Heyuan’s expression carried a hint of coldness, “Xie Kaixiao wants to see you, and my aunt prioritizes him above everything else, so she didn’t refuse your visit.”

It was Aunt Su who had protected them and allowed them to grow up safely, also arranging for them to be taught properly, so Su Heyuan’s anger was understandable. However, to be fair, this wasn’t Xie Kaixiao’s fault.

Lu Jiaxin said, “Now in the Mainland, family planning is a national policy. Uncle Xie and Aunt Su already have Yichen; they can’t have more children. Moreover, with Aunt Su’s age and frail health, giving birth to this child could very likely result in a fatality for both mother and child.”

Su Heyuan didn’t speak anymore.

Lu Jiaxin sighed, “I know you care about Aunt Su, but this is something that can’t be helped. You should buy some tonics, so Aunt Su can recover her health sooner.”

Su Heyuan spoke in a muffled voice, “I asked her to get a divorce, but she doesn’t want to.”

Lu Jiaxin asked in astonishment, “Why do you want Aunt Su to get a divorce?”

Su Heyuan clenched his fists and said, “The Xie Family is full of jackals and tigers; my aunt can’t rest and recuperate properly. If she gets divorced, I can ensure she receives the best treatment and recovers quickly.”

Lu Jiaxin spoke sternly, “Divorce? You make it sound so easy. Once divorced, it will not only affect Uncle Xie’s career, but Yichen will also have to endure gossip, and a stepmother will quickly enter the picture. Brother Su, I know you’re upset, but you can’t be so obstinate. This way, you’re only making it difficult for Aunt Su and causing concern for your father and brother.”
