Chapter 272 Pretending to be Drunk



Su Heming's topics jumped a lot. He said that his childhood dream was to become an athlete and win glory for his country. He said that doing business was too tiring and he wanted to go back to the countryside to farm. He also said that China's technology was lagging behind the West and he didn't know how many years it would take to catch up. But no matter what he said, Nie Zhan could keep up with the topic and not let the conversation get boring.

Lu Jiaxin saw that the two of them had already drunk two glasses of white wine, and each glass of white wine was about two taels. If they drank any more, they would probably get drunk: "Okay, let's eat. We have to go back to the hotel after dinner."

Seeing that Nie Zhan's eyes were a little dazed, Su Heming decided to let him go: "Then don't drink, let's eat."

Because Nie Zhan was also staying in the hotel and he brought four bodyguards with him, Su Heming was not worried about Lu Jiaxin's safety and went home to stay at night.

As soon as he left, Nie Zhan came over to find Lu Jiaxin: "It's still early, I'll take you for a ride."

"You're not drunk?"

Nie Zhan smiled and said, "People in my family are born to be able to drink. This little bit of wine won't knock me out. It's rare for you to come here, let's go for a walk."

Lu Jiaxin didn't want to go out. The main reason was that there was nothing to see in Pengcheng at night, so she didn't want to go out to eat the wind. However, she had slept for more than an hour in the afternoon and was not sleepy now, so she took out a financial book from her suitcase and asked Nie Zhan for advice on what she didn't understand. This consultation lasted for more than two hours.

Seeing that he looked tired, Lu Jiaxin stopped him from talking: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early, you have to go back to work tomorrow."

"When will you go back?"

Seeing the hope in his eyes, Lu Jiaxin thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything important to do here, I'll go with you tomorrow!"

Nie Zhan immediately said, "Didn't you say before that we can go to Ocean Park together when we have time? I will accompany you to Ocean Park tomorrow?"

Lu Jiaxin became happy and said, "Those are places where children like to play. It's really inappropriate for you to go there. When you have time, let's play tennis together."

Nie Zhan wanted to say that tomorrow would be fine, but thinking that Lu Jiaxin was so ambitious, she probably wouldn't like him skipping work to accompany her. Thinking of this, he immediately changed his words and said, "I'll reserve the venue tomorrow, and I'll ask the driver to pick you up at Gu's house when you get off work."

Lu Jiaxin agreed readily.

The next day, the two of them got up very early, had breakfast and went to the port to start the formalities. As soon as they passed the customs, Nie Zhan's driver was waiting outside.

Nie Zhan first sent Lu Jiaxin to Gu's house before going to work.

Amei was very surprised to see her and asked, "Cousin, didn't you go back to the mainland to visit relatives? How come you are back so soon?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "There was a small incident and I need to come back to deal with it. Where's my aunt? Is she in the back garden?"

Amei said, "The old lady had a headache two days ago and went to the hospital for a checkup. She went to the hospital for a follow-up checkup today."

Lu Jiaxin was very worried, and after finding out that it was Queen Mary Hospital, she prepared to go. But she didn't expect that as soon as she opened the car door, Hong Gu, who came running over, grabbed her and said, "Miss cousin, how can you drive when you haven't passed the driving test yet?"

In my haste, I forgot that I didn't have a driver's license. Alas, Hong Kong is the same as the mainland. You can't take a driver's license test before you are 18 years old. Otherwise, I would have taken the test during the summer vacation. Well, I will take the test when I turn 18 next year.

Lu Jiaxin asked, "Is there anyone else in the family who can drive? Let them take me to the hospital."

Hong Gu comforted her, "My cousin, I know you are worried about the old lady. But this time the old lady had a headache, and the doctor said it was caused by overthinking. We have been comforting her these past two days, and she is much better now. But to be on the safe side, we still let Mei Gu take her for a follow-up examination."

"It's really nothing. If you don't believe me, wait for the old lady and Sister Mei to come back and ask."

Lu Jiaxin believed her words. After all, this kind of lie would not be exposed once it was poked. She was not so stupid. She did not go upstairs, but went to the back garden with the basket.

After cutting a basket of flowers, Lu Jiaxin trimmed them and put them in a vase. After she was done, she took them to the second floor.

After finishing this, she returned to her room. After closing the door, she called Su Heyuan: "I'm back. Are you free tomorrow? Let's talk about the shares."

Su Heyuan said he didn't have time tomorrow: "My grandfather accidentally sprained his foot while taking a bath. He is now in the hospital. It's my turn to keep watch tonight."

I have to stay up all night, so I have to make up for the sleep tomorrow morning and go to the company in the afternoon. As long as it is about the shares, there is no rush, and it doesn't matter if it is two days later.

Lu Jiaxin couldn't stop him from fulfilling his filial piety. Of course, Su Heyuan's feelings for Mr. Su were not so pure. But this was the Su family's business and had nothing to do with her, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Su Heyuan said, "Feng Lihua called me yesterday and said she wanted to talk to you about something. I didn't give her your mainland phone number, but just told her that I would ask you to call her back in the next two days. Heming and I had another argument yesterday, and I was so angry that I forgot about it."

Lu Jiaxin didn't ask what they were cooking for: "Okay, then we'll make an appointment when you're free."

"I have prepared my villa and have scheduled the move on the 26th. You must come then!"

Lu Jiaxin didn't dare to agree. She was going to take care of all these things and go on vacation: "I will definitely go if I am in Hong Kong City. If not, the gift will be sent."

Later, Lu Jiaxin called Feng Lihua again. She fired Feng Lihua the day before returning to the mainland, thinking that it was not easy for her to pay an extra half year's salary.

Feng Lihua also knew his own problems and told Lu Jiaxin that he would not do this business anymore. Knowing her current situation, he also told her to be more careful in the near future.

As soon as the call was connected, Lu Jiaxin smiled and asked, "Sister Feng, it's me. Brother Su said you had something to talk to me about. What is it?"

Feng Lihua said: "I have a friend whose brother was in the Flying Tigers. His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia last month. The couple and their two children as well as the brother and his wife were not a match, but her uncle was a successful match with the children."

Leukemia is also known as blood cancer. In this era, the probability of surviving this disease is very low. The little girl is lucky to be successfully matched with her relative.

Feng Lihua said: "My friend's uncle wants one million, otherwise he won't donate bone marrow to his child. My friend and her brother have no choice but to collect money from everywhere."

One million in cash is a huge sum of money for ordinary working class people. After all, a house of 1,000 square feet in a good location like Fu'an Community only costs 600,000 or 700,000 yuan. And the girl's hospitalization and surgery also cost money.

Lu Jiaxin said: "Isn't this taking advantage of the situation?"

Feng Lihua said that this was just taking advantage of the situation, but he had no choice. If he didn't donate the child, he would not only be tortured by illness but also might die: "After repeated persuasion from relatives and friends, his uncle also backed off and reduced the price to 500,000 yuan."
