Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 473 - Chapter 473 461

Chapter 473: 461 Chapter 473: 461 Zong Shimeng pondered for a moment before saying, “Once the kids are grown up enough to stand on their own two feet, I can completely let go and have my fun. There’s no need to fret about whether or not love exists. Sister Xin, take my advice, love cannot be eaten as food.”

She didn’t advise Yu Meitong because Fu Ye was unreliable. Before marriage, he already disrespected his fiancee, so he wouldn’t likely be loyal to his family after marriage, and she wouldn’t get much money from him. Yu Meitong was beautiful and talented; as long as she shed her impetuousness, finding someone better than Fu Ye would be easy. But Lu Jiaxin was different; this time the mistake wasn’t on Nie Zhan’s part, and since he was willing to make money for Lu Jiaxin to spend, there was no need to be too harsh.

Lu Jiaxin agreed with this statement, saying, “Indeed, love cannot be eaten as food. I’m capable of making money, and I can live well without him. But if my life is gone, then it’s really over.”

Zong Shimeng sighed, “Jiaxin, money isn’t so easy to make.”

Having known Zong Shimeng for so long and liking her a lot, Lu Jiaxin said, “Sister Shimeng, even before I was with him, I already had a net worth of over a hundred million. The rumors that I became a billionaire through him are purely fictional. ”

Zong Shimeng looked at her in shock, “Is what you’re saying true?”

“Of course it’s true, there’s no need for me to lie to you about this kind of thing.”

Having heard this, Zong Shimeng laughed and said, “Then I won’t persuade you anymore. Just follow your heart and do what you want.”

It had taken only a little over a year to become a billionaire on her own; with such ability, she needn’t compromise.

After returning, Zong Shimeng said to Hu Zhifeng, “Go have a good chat with Nie Zhan! If he doesn’t want to break up, then he needs to show his attitude.”

Hu Zhifeng thought Lu Jiaxin was being somewhat unreasonable. It was Kang Huijuan who had caused the trouble, so what did it have to do with Nie Zhan? “Nie Zhan apologized to her, what else does he have to do?”

“Nie Zhan did apologize, but this incident was stirred up by the Nie family. Jiaxin endured such a fright, her two bodyguards were seriously injured and almost lost their lives, yet the Nie family hasn’t shown any sign of remorse. If I were her, I would also reconsider this relationship,” she said.

Hu Zhifeng was stunned, “Shimeng, what are you talking about?”

Zong Shimeng explained, “Yes, the Nie family is an affluent household, that’s true, but Jiaxin is no inferior. She owned hundreds of millions before she was even twenty, all on her own. Such an outstanding young lady has a limitless future. She’s put up with so much disrespect, and the fact that she hasn’t immediately called for a breakup also shows that she has feelings for Nie Zhan.”

Upon receiving a call from Hu Zhifeng, Nie Zhan hurriedly asked, “Brother Feng, what did my sister-in-law say?”

Hu Zhifeng didn’t say directly but invited him out for a drink.

Nie Zhan heard this and immediately said, “I have wine at home, come over here to drink!”

Lu Jiaxin disliked his going to bars and nightclubs. Before, he would occasionally visit these places for networking or social interactions, but ever since he had been with Lu Jiaxin, he never went to bars or nightclubs again.

“Alright.”

As soon as Nie Zhan saw Hu Zhifeng, he immediately asked, “Brother Feng, what did my sister-in-law say?”

Somewhat helplessly, Hu Zhifeng said, “Miss Lu said, even if you are good, your own life is more important, and your sister-in-law agrees with her.”

Nie Zhan looked at him, as if asking, I sent my sister-in-law to be a mediator, so how did she end up allying with Jiaxin instead?

Hu Zhifeng asked, “Does your family know about all the things Kang Huijuan did?”

Nie Zhan nodded, “They do. On the day Lin Qiang’s leg was broken, she ran back to the old mansion to beg Grandfather and my Aunt, hoping I would let her off. Grandfather didn’t indulge her and told her to turn herself in at the police station. ”

The moment Nie family members knew about it, Hu Zhifeng said, “Having your grandfather apologize to Miss Lu is the only way this can turn around.”

“What?”

Hu Zhifeng knew he had grown up in the West and didn’t understand many things, so he changed his approach, “If it were Huihui who you were dating and Kang Huijuan kidnapped her, what do you think your grandfather would do?”

Without waiting for Nie Zhan to reply, he continued, “Facing such an atrocious incident, your grandfather would, upon knowing, be the first to bring gifts and apologize, then offer compensation. Otherwise, our family would definitely sever ties with yours.”

“Nie Zhan, Miss Lu doesn’t have the backing of a family clan. If your grandfather and your grandaunts pretend nothing happened, she will certainly break up with you.”

They were wealthy because they had reaped the benefits from their ancestors. But Lu Jiaxin had made her billions on her own. Despite her gentle and fragile appearance, she was undoubtedly a tough character.

Nie Zhan filled his glass to the brim and then downed it in one gulp, “Thanks, bro.”

After they parted ways, Nie Zhan returned to the Nie Family Old Mansion. After communicating with Old Master Nie, he tried calling Lu Jiaxin but couldn’t get through.

With no other options, Nie Zhan had to ask for Su Heyuan’s help. He had previously found Su Heyuan bothersome, but now he realized having him around was beneficial–he could help mediate the conflict with Jiaxin.

After hearing his sincerity, Su Heyuan called Lu Jiaxin to convey the message, “If the Nie family is willing to apologize and provide compensation, and it’s adequate, then don’t break up.”

He thought that the Nie family had an influential presence in Hong Kong and being in a relationship with Nie Zhan could spare Lu Jiaxin a lot of trouble. Moreover, she could take advantage of Nie Zhan’s connections to make money–a win-win situation.

Lu Jiaxin was silent for a moment before she said, “Okay, but Nie Zhan shouldn’t come along.”

The next morning, Old Master Nie arrived with Nie Manli. However, the main culprit who should have been the most apologetic, Nie Jingshu, was nowhere to be seen.

Old Master Nie knew what Lu Jiaxin looked like from magazines, but this was their first face-to-face meeting. He thought she was even more beautiful than her pictures and had a colder, more aloof presence.

As soon as they sat down, Old Master Nie got straight to the point, “Jiaxin, we are here to apologize for the incident involving Yibo’s mother. It was our negligence that caused you such a fright, and both Manli and I are very sorry.”

Nie Manli also sincerely apologized, admitting her failure to properly supervise Kang Huijuan, which had led to the calamity, “I will take better care in the future to educate Bobo and ensure this doesn’t happen again.

It’s as if you haven’t said anything at all.

Seeing that her expression hadn’t softened, Old Master Nie had his bodyguard bring out the gifts they had brought. Knowing that Lu Jiaxin liked paintings and calligraphy, he had selected two valuable pieces from his own collection.

Old Master Nie knew that two paintings were not enough and continued, “Jiaxin, I am willing to give you five percent of the shares in Wansheng Real Estate, as compensation for the shock you experienced.”

Nie Manli exclaimed in shock, “Dad, how could you do that?”

It didn’t matter that Nie Zhan was only dating Lu Jiaxin at the moment, even if they were to marry in the future, it wouldn’t be appropriate to give shares to the bride’s side. Once the shares were given, they couldn’t be taken back. If the couple didn’t work out or got divorced, wouldn’t it mean Lu Jiaxin had gained at their expense?

Upon hearing her, Old Master Nie immediately added, “In addition to the shares in Wansheng Real Estate, I will also give one percent of the shares in Wansheng Bank.”

Nie Manlin’s eyes nearly popped out, but remembering how her earlier objection led Old Master Nie to add one percent of Wansheng Bank shares, she dared not speak further.
