Chapter 196: Encounter



Su Heyuan helped her move her things into the house. As soon as he entered, he realized that the house had been redecorated: "The money you spent on redecorating is more than the annual rent."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "The house is not rented, it is bought. My aunt bought it for me."

After listening to this, Su Heyuan said with some emotion: "Ms. Gu is just your great-aunt. She bought you a big house in Sijiu City and another house here. On the other hand, my old man will only give you a little sweetness if you make him happy. He will never take the initiative to give you things or money."

Lu Jiaxin's face showed no joy: "Not only did he buy a house for me, he also bought two houses for Haifan."

"She said before that she would buy me a house near the school, but I refused and she followed my advice. This time she was very firm and insisted that I accept it, which didn't feel right."

Su Heyuan reacted immediately after hearing this and said, "Are you worried that the He family will harm her?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "No, I'm worried about her health. I wanted to accompany her to the doctor for a checkup, but my aunt refused. I think her health may not be well yet."

Su Heyuan comforted him, "As you get older, your health will definitely get worse. There's no point in worrying about it. Don't think too much about it. She must have her reasons for not telling you."

Afterwards, Su Heyuan accompanied her to look at furniture and home appliances, and chose a set of solid wood furniture and a washing machine. After setting a delivery time, the two of them left.

It was already past six o'clock when they finished shopping. Su Heyuan said, "My friend's brother-in-law opened a French restaurant. I agreed to go and support him. Let's go eat now!"

What friend's brother-in-law? It's just an excuse. Lu Jiaxin felt that this elder brother really tried every means to take her to eat Western food. Okay, I haven't eaten French food for a long time, so it's okay to go for a meal.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jiaxin ran into an acquaintance at the restaurant entrance. Seeing him with a pretty girl dressed in designer clothes, she pretended not to see him and continued walking inside.

Nie Zhan called out to Lu Jiaxin and quickened his pace. He walked up to her and said, "Miss Lu, I didn't expect to see you here. What a coincidence."

Lu Jiaxin noticed that her female companion was looking at her with scrutiny, and thought to herself, "I don't want to see you here at all." She smiled politely and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."

Su Heyuan felt that Nie Zhan looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he knew why he looked familiar. He had seen him in a financial magazine. He was immediately excited. He was just thinking about getting to know such a young man to expand his network. He smiled and asked, "Jia Xin, who is this gentleman?"

Nie Zhan extended his hand towards Su Heyuan and said, "Hello, I'm Nie Zhan, a friend of Miss Lu."

Su Heyuan shook hands with him and introduced himself, then said with a smile: "Mr. Nie, since we meet by chance, how about going together?"

Nie Zhan looked at Lu Jiaxin and asked politely, "Miss Lu, is this okay?"

When he looked at the two people just now, he found that they were talking very familiarly but at a distance, which showed that they were close but not lovers.

Seeing how enthusiastic he was, Lu Jiaxin knew what he was thinking. However, it would be beneficial for Su Heyuan to make friends with him, and it would also be beneficial for her. She said politely, "I have no problem with that, but I don't know if this lady is willing to do it?"

Of course, Dai Ni was not happy. She had finally found an opportunity to have dinner with Nie Zhan alone, but she didn't expect to meet two people who spoiled her mood. But it was useless for her to refuse. If her cousin asked her to go back alone, she would not only lose face, but also give this woman an opportunity to take advantage of her. She smiled sweetly and said, "Of course, A Zhan's friends are my friends."

What does this mean? A declaration of sovereignty? It turns out that handsome guys have more peach blossoms.

Nie Zhan was not stupid. Hearing such misleading words, he immediately said, "Didn't you say you had an appointment with a friend? Go find your friend!"

Lu Jiaxin felt that he was looking for trouble. Some rich girls would work hard for their careers, while others just wanted to marry a good man and get rich overnight. This woman was obviously the latter. If she stood in her way, she would probably target her.

Dai Ni glanced at Lu Jiaxin and smiled sweetly: "Sister, you don't mind having two more people, right?"

Lu Jiaxin saw the unkindness in her eyes and was not willing to deal with her: "Mind."

Dai Ni's face froze. Where did this wild girl come from? She is so ignorant of etiquette.

Nie Zhan ignored her and said to Lu Jiaxin, "Ms. Lu, Mr. Su, let's go in!"

When they entered the restaurant, the waiter led them to a private room separated by a screen as soon as he saw Nie Zhan. Dai Ni wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Nie Zhan's bodyguard.

After the three of them sat down, Nie Zhan said, "Secretary Wang told me yesterday when he came back from a business trip that you passed the entrance exam. Miss Lu, congratulations."

Su Heyuan was a little surprised. Why did Nie Zhan pay attention to Lu Jiaxin? It seemed that the two of them knew each other for more than just selling paintings.

Lu Jiaxin thanked him and said meaningfully, "It's obvious that the lady just now is interested in you, Mr. Nie. Mr. Nie, your behavior is very ungentlemanly!"

Nie Zhan didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did: "She had made an appointment with a friend, and it would be bad for her to stand her up."

Seeing that he avoided the previous question and only explained the latter, Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Mr. Nie, where is your friend?"

Nie Zhan explained: "The owner of this restaurant is my friend. He recently released two new dishes and asked me to come and try them."

When Su Heyuan heard this, he looked at Lu Jiaxin nervously, afraid that she would ask him what he had just said, which would be too embarrassing.

Soon the waiter brought the menu. This waiter was very considerate, giving each of the three people a menu. Su Heyuan didn't know French, but he had eaten here before, so he ordered a pan-fried foie gras, steak, and salad: "Jia Xin, just order the same as mine."

Lu Jiaxin looked at the menu and said to the waiter in Cantonese: "Lobster, black truffle, poached egg pancakes, flounder, caviar, and a bowl of Marseille fish soup."

Su Heyuan looked at her in surprise. She could understand the menu, which meant that Lu Jiaxin knew French.

Nie Zhan told the waiter in French the dishes he wanted, and then said in Cantonese: "Miss Lu, the pan-fried foie gras and braised beef in red wine here are delicious. Would you like to try them?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "Foie gras is delicious, but the way it is extracted is too cruel. Also, I am not in good health and cannot drink alcohol."

She doesn't stop others from eating foie gras, but she herself can't accept it.

Su Heyuan was puzzled. The method of extracting goose liver was too cruel. What did this mean? He brought Lu Jiaxin here to broaden his horizons. Why did he feel like he was the bumpkin?
