Chapter 278 Mission Impossible



Hearing that Lu Jiaxin was going to stay in a hotel, Mei Gu said, "Miss cousin, the old lady has been very happy these two days, you can stay here!"

Lu Jiaxin said: "I came back this time to bring over the things my parents gave me. After this matter is settled, I will go back to the mainland."

"Miss cousin, are you going back to the mainland?"

Lu Jiaxin said that she still had things to deal with in the mainland, but she didn't say what they were.

Aunt Mei stopped trying to persuade her.

Ah Mei looked at the departing car and said loudly, "Aunt Mei, I think Miss Biao moved out to live alone with Third Master Nie."

Hong Kong is more open than the mainland, and it is normal for men and women to live together, but wealthy families still prefer girls who keep themselves chaste.

Aunt Mei said, "Nonsense, Miss Cousin is not even eighteen years old yet!"

After Lu Jiaxin moved her things into the hotel suite, she took Gu Wenfeng and Xiaoxiao to go shopping in Harbour City. Because Feng Qinglei had bought a new batch of good ingredients, Nie Zhan came to pick her up after get off work to eat French food.

Feng Qinglei thoughtfully gave them a bottle of red wine.

Nie Zhan was about to refuse. When Lu Jiaxin saw that it was a bottle of Lafite from 1982, she smiled and said, "I haven't drunk red wine yet. I want to try it."

In later generations, the 1982 Lafite was hyped up to the sky. She had only seen it but couldn't afford it. Now that she had the chance, she naturally wanted to try it.

As soon as the wine was opened, a strong aroma hit the nose. Lu Jiaxin took a sip and found the taste mellow and natural, which was really good.

Nie Zhan said with some concern: "If you can't drink, don't try to be brave."

Lu Jiaxin said she would just drink this small cup and leave the rest in the restaurant for another visit: "Boss Feng, can I leave it for you?"

"Of course. If you like, I'll give you two more bottles later."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "No, I don't drink at home. Boss Feng, is the red wine you use Lafite for your steak stewed in red wine?"

Feng Qinglei smiled and said, "It's another kind of red wine, and it tastes great too. If you're interested, I'll open another bottle for you to try."

Lu Jiaxin declined politely. Although later generations claimed that drinking red wine could delay aging, beautify the skin, promote digestion and reduce weight, it was still wine no matter how beautiful it was. It was also because the 1982 Lafite was so well-known that she wanted to try it to see if it was really as good as advertised. It tasted good, but not as good as it was said to be.

Nie Zhan thought he was an eyesore and chased him away: "If you have nothing to do, go and see if our food is ready. I'm hungry."

Feng Qinglei walked away with a smile.

The dishes came up quickly, all of which were Lu Jiaxin's favorites. The two chatted while eating. Nie Zhan asked, "Are you going to use the money from the mortgage to invest in stocks?"

Lu Jiaxin nodded in agreement.

Nie Zhan didn't want her money to go to waste, so he said, "Jia Xin, if you trust me, give me the money and I'll help you invest it."

Judging from his means of making money, Lu Jiaxin was too trusting, but she still refused: "Not for now, I will invest in you if you have a good project when I have some spare money in the future."

He remembered that in September, the island nation and five other countries including the United States signed an agreement. Because it was signed at the Plaza Hotel in New York, it was later called the Plaza Accord. She remembered that it was signed in late September, but she forgot the exact date. She had been racking her brains for the past two days.

Nie Zhan felt somewhat helpless. Many people in Gangcheng begged him to take them on projects. This was the first time he took the initiative to ask for it but was rejected.

Lu Jiaxin changed the subject and said, "Nie Zhan, there is something very strange. My aunt has been ill for more than a year, and He Zhuliang and his wife bribed Hong Gu and two maids. As for my aunt's situation, the He family should have discovered it a long time ago."

Nie Zhan asked, "Do they come to visit Ms. Gu on weekdays?"

"He Zhuliang went to invite his aunt back to celebrate the New Year before the New Year. I also asked Auntie Mei, and she said that they only ate together on New Year's Eve, and at other times they ate separately. However, he and his wife did not come, but He Mingzhu would come from time to time."

He Zhuliang and his wife had three sons and two daughters. Of these five children, only He Mingzhu would come to visit Gu Xiuxiu from time to time. He Yanyan would only come when she was looking for trouble, and she was not seen on weekdays.

Nie Zhan said, "Do you suspect He Mingzhu already knows?"

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Even if I'm not sure, I must have doubts. It's just strange that He Zhuliang and his wife haven't made any moves."

Before, Gu Xiuxiu bought a house for him and Haifan, and the He family found out about it very quickly, which proved that they had been eyeing their aunt's property.

Nie Zhan thought for a moment and said, "Is there a possibility that Hong Gu and Ah Mei were not really bribed by the Ho Chu-Leung couple? As for Ho Ming-Chu, she may not say anything because she is sentimental, or she may just be old and has a bad memory."

Lu Jiaxin also had this suspicion. She had previously wondered that her aunt was able to fight her way out of the backyard and get 10% of the shares of the Ho Group, which showed that she was a powerful person. Why would such a person tolerate Hong Gu betraying her master? If Hong Gu was only used to paralyze the Ho Chu-liang couple, and the other servants were all hers, then it made sense.

It is said that the rich are full of troubles, including my aunt, the He family is full of tricks! Fortunately, I kept my distance from the He family after arriving in Hong Kong, otherwise I would not know how I died.

Nie Zhan said, "Jia Xin, I don't think you need to worry about Ms. Gu. When she knew she was sick, she immediately took you and Gu Haifan here, and she must have made other arrangements."

Lu Jiaxin didn't think too much about it and said, "It would be best if my aunt has other arrangements. If not, I still have to take care of her and can't let her go to a nursing home."

Nie Zhan discovered that Lu Jiaxin was very opposed to nursing homes: "Jiaxin, as long as the nursing home they choose has complete supporting facilities and good services, going to a nursing home is also a good choice."

Lu Jiaxin said: "My aunt doesn't want to go to a nursing home. She wants to stay in the Gu residence until the end of her life. Since this is her wish, it's best to live out the rest of her life according to her wishes."

Nie Zhan nodded and said, "Let's play tennis on Saturday."

He has already arranged his work for the week, and he doesn't want his personal reasons to affect his schedule. Saturday is his leisure time, and he can arrange it freely.

"OK."

The next day, Nie Zhan went to work, and Lu Jiaxin went shopping in Central again. She didn't buy much, but only visited famous brands or luxury stores.

Because she has a bodyguard with her, the waiters are very attentive even if she just looks and doesn't buy. This is a potential customer, if she doesn't buy this time, there will be another time.

After shopping until about five o'clock, Lu Jiaxin returned to the hotel with sore feet, and immediately called a female technician to give her a massage. Because Xiaoxiao was in the room, she fell asleep without any worries.

It was almost eight o'clock when I woke up. Qian Xiaoxiao said, "Mr. Nie called at six o'clock and said that the company had something urgent to deal with and couldn't have dinner with you."

The president also has to work overtime, which is quite hard.

Lu Jiaxin asked, "Did Nie Jingwen call?"

Qian Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I called and they said they have already invited someone to the bank at nine o'clock tomorrow. Sister Xin, remember to tell Mr. Nie about this later."

"good."
