Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 442 - Chapter 442 Chapter 431 Conflict

Chapter 442: Chapter 431 Conflict Chapter 442: Chapter 431 Conflict Lu Jiaxin was on her way back when Su Heming accompanied her to the hospital entrance.

As they reached the car, Lu Jiaxin suddenly asked him, “Why did your brother break up with Miss Bai? Do you know the reason?”

Upon hearing this, Su Heming immediately replied, “I don’t know.”

The speed of his response made it seem suspicious, so Lu Jiaxin furrowed her brow and continued to ask, “Does it have anything to do with me?”

Su Heming was startled, then quickly said, “No, how could it possibly have anything to do with you?”

Gu Wenfeng was also confused as to how Su Heyuan’s breakup with Miss Bai could have anything to do with his boss. Having been by Lu Jiaxin’s side for so long, he was certain that there were no romantic feelings towards her.

Lu Jiaxin wanted to get to the bottom of it and pointed to a nearby tea restaurant, “Let’s go over there and talk.”

There was a female ward assistant watching over Su Qingwen in the hospital room, and since he only injured his arm, Su Heming wasn’t worried about stepping away for a bit.

Seeing her stern face, Su Heming had no choice but to follow her.

Once inside the tea restaurant, Lu Jiaxin chose the most secluded spot, while Gu Wenfeng and Miao Na took the seats next to them. Both of them pricked up their ears to listen.

Everyone loves a bit of gossip.

“So, what happened?” Lu Jiaxin asked.

When she had suggested consulting a master about the compatibility of their birth charts, she actually knew Su Qingwen had already matched their charts; otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a joke. However, given Su Qingwen’s demeanor and words today, it was clear that this matter truly had something to do with her.

Su Heming said with a look of frustration, “Even after I told my dad that it was my brother who had gone crazy, he still had to say all kinds of unnecessary things.”

“Explain it more clearly.”

Knowing that he couldn’t escape from it, Su Heming didn’t keep it to himself any longer, “For some unknown reason, my big brother suddenly went to a master to calculate his and Miss Bai’s birth charts. Before that, their charts had been matched and were said to be made in heaven.”

“Could it be that this master said their charts clashed?” Lu Jiaxin surmised.

“No, the master said their charts were very compatible.”

Lu Jiaxin was baffled and asked, “If his and Miss Bai’s charts are compatible, then why break up? And how does this involve me?”

Swallowing hard, Su Heming said, “He matched my dad’s and your birth charts with Miss Bai’s, only to find that she clashed with both of you. So, he proposed the breakup to Miss Bai.”

Lu Jiaxin was stunned. She had only heard of matching birth charts for unmarried couples, not for a bride-to-be with her future father-in-law and his friends.

Now that it had been said, Su Heming spilled the beans, “After learning the reason, my dad told him to apologize to Miss Bai, but he refused. My dad was so angry that he even beat him up, yet he said what’s done couldn’t be undone.”

“With no other choice, my dad had my aunt and me try to persuade him. You know what my brother said? He claimed that Miss Bai clashing with my dad would surely bring about domestic strife, and clashing with you would harm his wealth. He would rather stay single for life than marry Miss Bai.”

In Su Heyuan’s heart, kinship came first, followed by career. With Miss Bai clashing with his closest relatives and his business, it didn’t matter how much her father could help him; it was a no-go.

After a moment, Lu Jiaxin said, “Superstitious beliefs are not to be followed.”

Feeling helpless, Su Heming replied, “Tell me about it! We all tried convincing him, but it was no use. It’s as if he was bewitched. My aunt tried as well, to no avail. Later, she told my dad that Miss Bai probably wasn’t his fated partner, and forcing a marriage would only bring unhappiness.”

His dad had given up on Miss Bai, but he still hoped his eldest son would marry soon. At nearly thirty, it was indeed time to marry and have children.

On her way back, Lu Jiaxin massaged her temples. It was just a joke she made; she never expected Su Heyuan to take it seriously and even match up their birth charts with Miss Bai. That he could do such a thing, she was truly at a loss for words.

When she arrived home, the butler told her that Aunt Hong had called, “Aunt Hong said to call her back when you, the boss, get home.”

Lu Jiaxin immediately called back, and it was Aunt Hong who answered. She found out that Aunt was saying Guh Haifan wanted to go back to Hong Kong to see him.

With Guh Xiuxiu’s health, it really wasn’t suitable for her to be traveling back and forth. Lu Jiaxin said, “There’s only one more week until the final exams. After Haifan finishes, I’ll let him go to the Forty-nine City to accompany Aunt.”

Aunt Hong had said the same thing to Guh Xiuxiu, but Guh Xiuxiu disagreed, insisting on returning to Hong Kong now. Unable to persuade her, she turned to Lu Jiaxin for help: “Miss Cousin, you talk to the old lady!”

As soon as Guh Xiuxiu took over the phone, she said she was coming back to the Forty-nine City, and no one could stop her.

This time, Lu Jiaxin didn’t outright forbid her return: “Aunt, your body can’t take the strain. You can go back to Hong Kong, and it just so happens that Haifan needs tutoring. Stay there with him until the summer break is over!”

Guh Xiuxiu hesitated. After spending a year in the Forty-nine City, she wasn’t keen on staying in Hong Kong for so long. There were many people here to keep her company, willing to cheer her up, and she could also go out often. In Hong Kong, she couldn’t stand being cooped up at home all day.

After some thought, Guh Xiuxiu said reluctantly, “Then we’ll wait until Haifan finishes his exams!”

After saying that, she passed the phone to Aunt Hong in a huff.

Lu Jiaxin asked about Guh Xiuxiu’s health, which was the same as before, fluctuating. Ready to hang up, Aunt Hong mentioned something else to her: Lu Yun was in the process of getting a divorce.

“Lu Yun is getting a divorce from his wife? What’s the reason?”

Aunt Hong replied, “I’m not clear on the exact situation, only that there’s such an affair. His wife doesn’t want to divorce, and now they’re in a huge fight over it.”

It was because of the big fuss that she had heard the news. If they had quietly divorced, it wouldn’t have come to her attention so quickly.

After thanking her, Lu Jiaxin hung up the phone.

Checking the time, it wasn’t busy at the noodle shop, so Lu Jiaxin decided to give Shanzi a call. There was a small shop not far from the noodle shop, so it was easy to get in touch with him. She didn’t want to ask Second Sister-in-law Lu, feeling that it would upset her to discuss the matter. It would be better to ask Shanzi.

Lu Shan was surprised to receive a call from Lu Jiaxin, “Auntie, why are you calling me?”

Lu Jiaxin knew he was straightforward, so she went straight to the point: “I heard that Lu Yun is getting a heated divorce from his wife. What’s happening?”

Lu Shan blurted out: “Auntie, how did you know about this?”

“Never mind how I know. Why on earth are they getting divorced all of a sudden?”

Lu Shan let out a sigh and said, “Lu Yun has been married to his wife for over five years without a child. They’ve seen both traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and Western doctors in the countryside and the Forty-nine City, and all said there was nothing wrong with their health, but they still have no children. Some time ago, Lu Yun heard someone say that some couples’ destinies clash, making it impossible for them to have kids even if both are healthy. He took this rumor to heart, secretly consulted the Immortal Aunt, and came back saying he wanted a divorce.”

Lu Jiaxin was speechless; what was wrong with these people, fixating on clashes like this?

Lu Jiaxin asked, “What do your parents say?”

Lu Shan replied, “My dad disagrees, saying that staying with one’s original spouse is best, and if they can’t produce offspring, they could just adopt. But Lu Yun disagrees, he says, ‘Why adopt when I can have my own? Besides, an adopted child can never be as close.'”
