MTL - Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property

Chapter 358 Lantern Festival

Lu Jiaxin arrived at Guzhai at about ten o'clock. As soon as she got off the car, Aunt Mei greeted her. Just as he was about to ask, Aunt Mei told him that He Mingzhu and He Yanyan had come over and were accompanying Gu Xiuxiu in the backyard.

Aunt Mei lowered her voice and said, "The eldest lady and the second lady came here at around nine o'clock. They said they hadn't seen the old lady come to talk to her for a long time."

It was normal for He Mingzhu to come here, but it was strange for He Yanyan to come too. Lu Jiaxin didn't ask, and nodded to show that she understood.

Aunt Mei asked: "Miss Cousin, will Master Nie come over?"

 “Well, he will come, but it will be later.”

 Arrived in the living room, Lu Jiaxin handed her handbag to Qian Xiaoxiao, and she went to the backyard by herself. She was a little surprised when she saw He Mingzhu. She used to wear professional clothes, but this time she was wearing an olive green dress with a black windbreaker. As for He Yanyan, she wore a red slim-fit dress with a front slit, which showed off her proud figure.

 Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "Sister Mingzhu, you are here."

He Mingzhu said hello to Lu Jiaxin and pushed He Yanyan. Unexpectedly, she said coquettishly: "Lu Jiaxin, I'm sorry. It was all my fault before. I hope you can forgive me."

Lu Jiaxin didn't even look at her. She walked to Gu Xiuxiu, leaned over and asked, "Auntie, your health has been feeling better these days."

Gu Xiuxiu was conscious today and said with a smile: "These days have been good. Jiaxin, you look very good today."

 Lu Jiaxin wore a yellow sweater, jeans, and a pair of canvas sneakers. She usually wears casual clothes, which are simple, natural and comfortable.

He Yanyan's face was ugly, but she was glared at by He Mingzhu and dared not speak in anger.

After Gu Xiuxiu asked Lu Jiaxin to sit down, she said with a smile on her face: "Jiaxin, last time you came over and said that Nie Zhan would celebrate the Lantern Festival with you, will he come over?"

 “Already on the way here.”

Gu Xiuxiu sighed and said: "Just now Mingzhu said that the company had a problem with its capital turnover and wanted to get a loan from Wansheng Bank. However, Wansheng Bank refused. Do you think you can let Nie Zhan talk to the eldest young master of the Nie family? It’s about being accommodating.”

She asked why He Yanyan apologized to her today because he was waiting for her here.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and asked: "If a company develops well or has good assets, banks will lend money. After all, they also want to make money. Since Wansheng Bank refuses the loan, they have their own reasons. Although Nie Zhan and I are dating, but It’s never about business.”

Gu Xiuxiu said: "Jiaxin, I don't know about business. It's just that the company is my lifelong efforts. Can you ask Nie Zhan when he comes over? If not, don't force it."

Lu Jiaxin won't ask, but the sisters are here to guard, and they probably won't go back until their purpose is achieved. She thought for a moment and said, "Sister Mingzhu, I never ask him about business matters. You can ask him yourself later!"

He Mingzhu's heart sank. The fourth aunt could not persuade her even if she came forward. This time, the matter was in doubt.

When Nie Zhan arrived at Guzhai, he knew that the He sisters were here and didn't care. He handed a large bouquet of red roses to Lu Jiaxin and said with a smile on his face: "Xinxin, happy Lantern Festival."

 Lu Jiaxin took the flower and took a deep breath: "It smells really good, I like it very much."

Nie Zhan said dotingly: "As long as you like it."

Although his girlfriend likes green roses, he thinks it would be fresh to give them instead. Well, next time he will send blue roses.

He Mingzhu took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Mr. Nie." He Yanyan also said hello.

Nie Zhan nodded coldly, then took the carnation from the bodyguard and handed it to Gu Xiuxiu: "Auntie, happy Lantern Festival."

Gu Xiuxiu took a large bouquet of flowers and smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face stretched out, saying, "Azhan, you are interested."

 She likes delicate flowers, so she planted so many roses in the yard.

The wind started to blow, so Lu Jiaxin helped Gu Xiuxiu up and returned to the living room. After sitting down, Gu Xiuxiu talked about He's jewelry wanting to borrow money from Wansheng Bank.

Nie Zhan shook his head and said: "Since my eldest brother refused, it must be that He's Jewelry does not meet the loan conditions. Auntie, the bank belongs not only to our Nie family, but also to all shareholders. We have to be responsible to the shareholders."

He Mingzhu forced a smile and said: "Master Nie, our He's Jewelry only encountered temporary difficulties. As long as your bank can borrow money, we will definitely be able to overcome this difficulty."

Nie Zhan said indifferently: "Miss He, with all due respect, your sales of He's Jewelry have been falling year by year, and you still suffered losses last year. If Mr. He hadn't had any accidents, you could have managed to survive for a few years, but Mr. He had such a big accident. We are still waiting for the verdict. No bank dares to lend you money at this point. After all, everyone has to answer to the shareholders. "

He Mingzhu also had the attitude of giving it a try. Seeing his refusal, she still said thank you gracefully. Then, he also said goodbye to Gu Xiuxiu.

He Yanyan looked at Lu Jiaxin and said, "I know you hate me for what happened before. Tell me, how can you resolve your hatred? As long as you can help us, no matter what you want me to do, I will agree."

Lu Jiaxin looked at her as if she were mentally retarded. However, she could endure the humiliation and bear the burden so much. It seemed that He wouldn't be able to hold on for long. She felt that she could add fuel to the fire and make it bankrupt early. Without money, He Zhuliang's life in prison would not be so easy, and he might be able to open his mouth and confess all his accomplices.

He Mingzhu shouted angrily: "Yanyan, apologize to Miss Lu..."

Hearing this, He Yanyan grabbed the bag placed on the sofa and ran out. She shouldn't have listened to her mommy and eldest sister and suffered this humiliation for nothing.

After He Mingzhu apologized to Lu Jiaxin and Nie Zhan, she immediately chased after them.

Gu Xiuxiu sighed and said, "Why is this child so frizzy even after he is an adult?"

Lu Jiaxin was in a good mood now. She said she was hungry and asked Qian Xiaoxiao to go to the kitchen to see when the food would be ready.

 Gu Xiuxiu looked at the expression on her face and secretly thought that it was a good thing she wasn't in Hong Kong City during that time, otherwise the secret would have been exposed if Mingzhu or Li Xuanqi tested her. But then I thought about it, it was because she was abroad that she dared to take action.

 After lunch, Lu Jiaxin asked everyone to make glutinous rice **** together. She asked Honggu to prepare four fillings: peanuts, sesame seeds, bean paste and meat.

Nie Zhan watched her picking out the fillings skillfully and asked, "Have you often made glutinous rice **** in the past?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "No, I rarely ate glutinous rice **** when I was a child. But I like to eat dumplings, so I often make dumplings at home. In order to train my hands-on skills, my mother started teaching me how to make dumplings and make steamed buns when I was four years old. Wait. When you have time, I’ll make dumplings for you to eat.”

Nie Zhan immediately said that he had time next week: "We will make dumplings together then."

"OK."
