Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 453 - Chapter 453 Chapter 441 Kidnappers

Chapter 453: Chapter 441 Kidnappers Chapter 453: Chapter 441 Kidnappers Zong Shimeng was worried about the child at home, so she left after having afternoon tea. Lu Jiaxin and Yu Meitong, who were still unmarried and thus more free, decided to go out for dinner together.

Shi Xinyu enjoyed Italian food, so the three of them went for it. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Yu Meitong started pouring out her grievances, saying that Fu Ye was very domineering and insisted everything be done his way. If she didn’t comply, he would get angry and then not contact her for days.

Lu Jiaxin frowned, being angry and then ignoring someone for days was just emotional abuse! However, she knew Yu Meitong had been in a deep relationship with Fu Ye for three years and, although she was complaining, she wasn’t considering breaking up, so she just played the mediator, “That won’t do, you need to communicate even if you argue, not give each other the silent treatment.”

Shi Xinyu also felt it wasn’t right, “Disagreements between couples are normal, and after arguing, you should see who is at fault. Like with Tao Yong and me, if it’s my fault, I apologize once I’ve calmed down; if it’s his fault, he has to apologize to me. It definitely doesn’t work to give the silent treatment after an argument.”

Yu Meitong spoke dejectedly, “It worked when we first started dating, but later it was as if talking was the same as saying nothing. Even… Jiaxin, Xinyu, I’ve been thinking about breaking up with him.”

Shi Xinyu was taken aback, “Break up? Is it that serious?”

Lu Jiaxin thought she had great patience to have only thought of breaking up now; she herself would have dumped someone like that ages ago. However, because of the relationship between Fu Ye and Nie Zhan, Lu Jiaxin didn’t encourage the breakup, just said, “Sister Meitong, you need to think this through yourself, after all, it’s been three years of feelings.”

Shi Xinyu also felt that breaking up over this would be too impulsive and advised her to think it over carefully.

Yu Meitong tried to hold back but couldn’t, “Last month, I saw a woman clinging to his arm, acting very intimate. When I confronted him, he thought I was humiliating him in public and didn’t contact me for half a month. When I told my mom, she said all men are like that and that I should just get used to it.”

Lu Jiaxin was speechless. Just get used to it? If they got married, he would definitely keep a mistress outside, and illegitimate children would be unavoidable.

Shi Xinyu was also angry, “How could Fu Ye do this? And your mom, how could she say something like that? It shows such a lack of respect for you.”

Lu Jiaxin felt that Yu Meitong’s family would definitely not agree to her breaking up with Fu Ye. She thought for a moment and then said, “Don’t think about it too much, focus on applying for a job at Five Auspicious Jewelry, and if you get it, concentrate on doing well at work.”

Having a job meant that even if she broke up with Fu Ye and her family got angry and cut off her allowance, she could still survive. Otherwise, even basic living expenses would be a problem, leading to an eventual compromise.

Yu Meitong nodded slightly.

Shi Xinyu adored the variety of Italian desserts, with ice cream being her favorite. As the dessert arrived, she shared embarrassing stories from her childhood while indulging in her treat. She talked about getting a stomachache from sneaking ice cream and not daring to tell anyone, ending up in the hospital, and then seeking backup from her grandparents. Her own embarrassing stories lightened the mood.

After dinner, it was past eight and there were no more plans, so everyone headed home. On the way back, Lu Jiaxin reflected on Yu Meitong’s situation, sighing. Many people envied the lives of these rich heiresses, but they weren’t as happy as people thought.

Miao Na, sitting beside her, asked in confusion, “Boss, what are you sighing for?”

She thought Lu Jiaxin was already a big winner in life. With personal assets worth billions and a thriving career, on top of having such a considerate boyfriend, if she still sighed, what about other women?

Lu Jiaxin said, “Yu Meitong wants to break up with Fu Ye, but her parents disagree and even say it’s normal for a man to play around. If he’s already finding other women before they’re married, he won’t value her after they’re married, yet they still don’t agree to her breaking up.”

Miao Na thought she was sighing over something else, “When men have money, they don’t need to look for women, they come swarming, and the same goes for women. It’s just that women tend to be faithful to their feelings, seeing physical and emotional intimacy as one, unlike men who can separate love from sex.”

The statement was perceptive. Indeed, men could completely separate the two, whereas women rarely could. Perhaps it started as a physical need, but over time, it often turned into emotional attachment.

Miao Na continued, “Miss Yu is so beautiful and a graduate from a prestigious university. She could totally find a job on her own. With a job, she could support herself without having to take any crap from men. If she’s not financially dependent on her family, she wouldn’t be afraid of her parents meddling in her romantic life.”

“If she wants both financial support from her family and complete freedom, there’s no such thing as having the best of both worlds in this world.”

Lu Jiaxin nodded slightly, Miao Na had seen through the situation quite thoroughly.

“Screech…”

A sudden brake made Lu Jiaxin lurch forward. Before she could ask what happened, Miao Na threw a safety helmet and bulletproof vest at her, “Boss, there’s a car blocking the road ahead, and another one has come up from behind.”

Her mouth kept talking, but her hands kept moving. She put on the bulletproof vest and helmet as quickly as possible.

Lu Jiaxin’s brain froze for three seconds, and when she snapped back to reality, she grabbed the helmet and put it on, followed by the bulletproof vest. It was at this moment that Gu Wenfeng said, “Be alert. Four men have come down from the front, armed with Wooden Granary guns.”

Wang Lin followed up, “There are also four people coming out of the car from behind, armed with Wooden Granary guns. Brother Feng, they outnumber us; we need to strike first.”

“Fire…”

As soon as the word dropped, Wang Lin immediately fired a Wooden Granary gun towards the front.

Bang, bang, bang…

Lu Jiaxin’s heart was about to leap out, but she still fumbled with the straps of the bulletproof vest. Scared as she was, she had to get the vest on properly–it could save her life in a crucial moment.

Just as she finished putting on the bulletproof vest, Gu Wenfeng said, “Miao Na, take Jiaxin and hide in the bushes beside us. Wang Lin, Zong Jinghua, the three of us will cover.”

“Okay.”

Opening the car door, Miao Na fired two Wooden Granary shots behind her, then leaped out of the car at top speed, “Boss, get out.”

Lu Jiaxin closed her eyes, grabbed her handbag phone, and rolled out of the car. Wang Lin and Zong Jinghua saw her roll out and quickly jumped out of the car after her.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Gu Wenfeng and Zong Jinghua exchanged gunfire with the kidnappers, while Miao Na covered Lu Jiaxin as they hid in the grass at the side. Gu Wenfeng had reacted quickly, stopping the car at the roadside upon realizing something was amiss, reducing the time it took to get into the bushes. These few seconds could decide life or death.

Miao Na saw that Lu Jiaxin was pale and reassured her, “Don’t be afraid, Boss. They’re only eight people, and their weapons aren’t as good as ours. We can take them down.”

They were armed with the best kind of hand Wooden Granary guns, and even their helmets and bulletproof vests were top of the line. In this regard, Lu Jiaxin was very generous.

Lu Jiaxin was terrified, but she was even more afraid of holding everyone back. So even though her teeth chattered in fear, she kept silent. Lying on the ground, her hands trembling, she took out her handbag phone and dialed the familiar number one digit at a time.
