Su Hongying was also surprised when she saw Lu Jiaxin. This girl had changed a lot after not seeing her for a year. Not only was she dressed more fashionably, she was also more beautiful.
Lu Jiaxin was also surprised, because the long-sleeved dress Su Hongying wore was one of her designs last year, and it matched her very well. If she were in Hong Kong, she would have suggested that Su Heyuan ask Su Hongying to help shoot the commercial. Of course, it was just a thought. It was impossible for Mrs. Xie to do these things.
Pulling Lu Jiaxin upstairs and closing the door, Su Hongying said with a smile: "No wonder she was named the most beautiful campus beauty. This title is well deserved."
Lu Jiaxin was embarrassed for a moment: "Aunt Su, why are you making fun of me?"
Su Hongying patted her hands and said, "I am telling the truth. In two years, you will be the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong."
Lu Jiaxin thought to herself, she didn't want to be the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong, she wanted to be the most wealthy woman in Hong Kong. The one who was named the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong became the prey of the rich and powerful, and later became a laughing stock because of the "golf ball" incident. But the most wealthy woman was different, and those rich and powerful had to be polite to her when they saw her.
Seeing that she didn't care, Su Hongying smiled and changed the subject: "Jia Xin, how long are you going to stay this time?"
Lu Jiaxin planned to stay for a week: "I came back this time mainly to tell my mother the good news, there is no other important things. But it's a rare opportunity for me to come back, and I also want to walk around and take a look. I may not be so free next time I come back."
The next time she comes back is to move the grave. After the grave is moved, she will have nothing to miss here, and will not come back unless it is something special.
Su Hongying nodded and talked to Lu Jiaxin about business: "I heard from He Yuan that you want to withdraw your shares and he is now raising funds. Jiaxin, Chery is making so much money now, why do you want to withdraw your shares?"
Most of Chery's clothes are produced by mainland OEM factories, and they also took the opportunity to earn a lot of foreign exchange. Such a profitable business will not be withdrawn unless there is a special reason.
Lu Jiaxin said: "The company is very profitable, but Brother Su and I have different ideas, so it's better for us to separate, so that we won't even have friends in the future."
In fact, fame is only one of the reasons. The main reason is that she wants to take a gamble with the Plaza Accord. If she wins, she can buy a luxury house and open a retail store, and then create her own brand next year or the year after; if she loses, she will have to start all over again. But she is not afraid, she is still young, and it will take more time to start all over again.
Su Hongying felt that there was more than just this reason, but she didn't say it or ask further: "Jiaxin, your mother likes jade jewelry, and she secretly collected a lot of jadeite. Because you were young, she didn't dare to tell you for fear that you would let it slip, so she entrusted this matter to me."
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "I know. You also asked Su Heming to tell me last year."
Su Hongying nodded: "Your mother's intention is to give you these jewelry when you are twenty years old and mature and able to take on responsibilities. Although you are not yet twenty, you have been through so many things and you are now able to take on responsibilities. It is time to give you these things."
Lu Jiaxin was a little excited. She also wanted to bring this batch of jadeite to Hong Kong City when she came back this time. Even if Su Hongying didn't say it, she would have mentioned it.
Su Hongying smiled and said, "These things are hidden in the cellar of your house."
Lu Jiaxin was confused and asked, "Put it in the cellar?"
Su Hongying hummed and said, "Your mother said that this house is left for you, and she will not sell it no matter how well or badly you live. Therefore, it is safest to keep these things in the house on Guangming Road."
Top-grade jade is very valuable in any era. She is the daughter-in-law of the Xie family, so it is impossible for her to take over the safekeeping. At that time, the policy was not as relaxed as it is now. If the news leaked, it would affect her husband and the Xie family. Lu's mother's arrangement was very good.
Lu Jiaxin thought about it and understood: "A cellar within a cellar?"
Seeing her nod, Lu Jiaxin understood: "No wonder my cellar is so dry, not damp at all, so that's why."
Jadeite stored in a humid place will be damaged over time. It is probably because of this that Lu's mother spent a lot of money to build a cellar.
Su Hongying nodded and said, "Yes, a cellar within a cellar. The secret cellar is behind the row of wooden boards. Just pry open the boards and push away the layer of soil behind them."
Su Hongying felt ashamed to thank you. She said, "It is your uncle Xie and I who are sorry for you. If we hadn't taken good care of you and let someone take advantage of you, your mother wouldn't have died early from the illness she suffered while saving Yichen. You have suffered so much in the past few years and now you have to live under someone else's roof."
Lu Jiaxin felt a little sad and couldn't help but lower her head.
Su Hongying grabbed her hand and said, "If anyone bullies you in Gangcheng, tell He Yuan. If he can't help, call me."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I will."
The two chatted for a while, and Lu Jiaxin looked at the time and said it was late and she had to go back.
Su Hongying would never let her go back. She held her hand and said, "Let's have dinner at home today. Don't worry, the old man has something to do today and will be back in the afternoon. Your Uncle Xie will be back in the evening after going to work."
In fact, Lu Jiaxin was not afraid of Mr. Xie and Xie Kaixiao, but it would be best if they could not sit together for dinner. Although she had never met them, they must be very serious people.
When going downstairs, Su Hongying said with some regret: "Yi Chen went to school today, otherwise we would have met him."
The last time Lu Jiaxin came over, her son was not at home, and the two of them haven't seen each other since then. Of course, they had seen each other several times when they were young, but it had been so long that they had forgotten about it.
The food was ready and they were about to eat when someone from the Xie family came back. Lu Jiaxin thought it was Mr. Xie, but she didn't expect that when someone came in, it turned out to be the wife of Mr. Xie.
Xie Laoer's wife came in with a beautiful girl. When they saw Lu Jiaxin, both of them looked at her with scrutiny and caution: "Sister-in-law, who is this girl?"
They didn't even know her, and they looked at her like that. Lu Jiaxin felt very unhappy and thought that these two women were crazy.
Su Hongying introduced with a smile: "Sister-in-law, this is Jiaxin. She just finished the college entrance examination in Gangcheng a few days ago, and she rushed back from Gangcheng to tell her mother the good news."
Just call the national examination the college entrance examination to avoid having to explain it.
Second Sister Xie was a little surprised: "Sister-in-law, the time of the college entrance examination in Hong Kong is different from that in the mainland?"
After hearing Su Hongying say that it was different, Second Sister Xie looked at Lu Jiaxin and asked, "How did you do in the exam?"
"good."
"Which school did you apply to?"
Seeing her asking so many questions, Lu Jiaxin was a little impatient. But for Su Hongying's sake, she didn't show any displeasure and said with a smile, "I applied for the University of Hong Kong. Aunt Su, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
She didn't want to eat with two people, fearing indigestion. She had no choice before, but now she has a certain strength and doesn't need to look at other people's faces.
Su Hongying knew that her sister-in-law's behavior just now made her unhappy. This strong character, alas, I don't know whether it is good or bad: "Then you go and do your work, come back when you have time."
"good."
