Lu Jiaxin was surprised to hear that Lu Jiazong agreed to the adoption. According to his education, he should agree to the divorce, so why would he object? "What did your mother say?"
"My mother didn't say anything."
This is even more strange. The second sister-in-law has always been the one in charge of their family, but this time she remained silent, which is unusual.
Jia Xin guessed that there was something going on, but she didn't want to bother with it. Speaking of which, this was Lu Jiazong's family affair, and as a cousin from the next room, she couldn't say much, otherwise it would be easy to make things difficult for everyone: "Whether Lu Yun gets a divorce or adopts a child, don't worry about it, just run your noodle shop well."
"I know, aunt."
The next day, Lu Jiaxin returned to the villa after school. Not long after she got home, Nie Zhan also came, carrying more than ten boxes of tonics.
When Lu Jiaxin saw that they were buying nourishing products such as bird's nest, donkey-hide gelatin, and fish maw, she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was just a transformation from a girl to a woman, why was it necessary to make it so exaggerated? What she didn't expect was that there was something even more exaggerated.
Nie Zhan handed her a document and said, "Jia Xin, sign this."
Lu Jiaxin took the document with doubt, but when she opened it, she found that it was a contract for transferring shares. After reading it, she said helplessly, "Giving me 5% of Wansheng Real Estate shares? If I accept it, your grandfather will be so angry that he will have a stroke if he knows."
It's fine to ask for luxury houses, cars and yachts, but these are shares of Wansheng Real Estate, which was built by the old man. If she really accepted them, the old man would probably think she was plotting against the Nie family's assets.
Nie Zhan said: "This 5% of shares was purchased from another shareholder at the beginning of the year. I can dispose of it."
The shares that the old man gave him were not easy to move, but he had no right to interfere with the shares that he bought with his own money. He thought about giving other things, but after considering it, he thought that giving Wansheng Real Estate shares was the most sincere.
Lu Jiaxin stamped the contract and put it down, saying, "I already own 2% of Wansheng Real Estate's shares, and I'll have the chance to increase my holdings in the future. Forget about yours. There's no need to create a rift between you two because of this little bit of shares."
Seeing that Nie Zhan wanted to say more, Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "Don't say that you bought the shares with your own money and your grandfather has no right to interfere. If there were no Wansheng Real Estate, do you think you could afford to give away shares worth more than 100 million now?"
Wansheng Real Estate's current market value is more than 2 billion, and 5% of its shares are worth more than 100 million. Money is a small matter, but shares represent different meanings.
Nie Zhan has confidence in himself. He will start a company even without the Nie family: "I can afford it."
Lu Jiaxin said very bluntly: "I believe that with your ability, you must have earned billions of dollars by your age from scratch. But being able to afford it and being willing to give it are two different concepts."
Inheriting a family business, it is easy for money to make money and it is generous. But those who start their own business from scratch have suffered a lot, so the first generation of rich people rarely spend money lavishly. It is possible for such people to give their wives and children billions of assets, but the probability of giving so much to their girlfriends is basically zero.
After hearing her words, Nie Zhan said dotingly, "Others want it but can't, but you can get it by just signing your name, but you don't want it. I really can't do anything about you."
Lu Jiaxin said: "That's because they don't have it. If they had as much assets as I do, they would definitely not want it."
If I had such a handsome and rich boyfriend in my previous life who wanted to give me shares worth 100 million yuan, I would have agreed without hesitation. But now, the money I earn is more than I can spend in my lifetime, so why would I need his shares?
Nie Zhan shook his head and took the contract back.
Lu Jiaxin was going to climb Mount Tai during the holiday and asked him if he had time: "The weather is neither too cold nor too hot now, it's a good time to climb Mount Tai."
The universities in Hong Kong have their holidays early. If it were in the mainland, it would be late June, and it would be a bit hot at that time. But it was cooler up the mountain, so it was fine at the top.
Nie Zhan said with some regret: "I want to take over the Royal Mansion, so I can't leave for the time being. You go first, and I will find you when I have time.
Lu Jiaxin usually wouldn't ask him about his company, but she was very surprised to hear that he was going to buy the Royal Mansion: "Why are you going to buy the Royal Mansion?"
Nie Zhan didn't want to collect rent, but to buy the house and rebuild it, but this was a huge project.
Lu Jiaxin slapped her head, her mind a little confused and she didn't think about rebuilding. The main reason was that rebuilding was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and she would not do it in a short period of time.
The two of them walked along the path behind the mansion, talking as they walked. When they talked about skiing, Lu Jiaxin casually mentioned that she wanted to go skiing in Switzerland during the winter vacation.
Nie Zhan paused, then told her about Nie Manlin: "My mom registered with that man and said they were going to have a wedding. My grandfather was so angry that he didn't even have dinner yesterday. He said he would no longer give me the 2 million yuan living allowance every year."
For a love-brained person, falling in love at first sight today and getting married tomorrow is not surprising. Lu Jiaxin was a little surprised that Nie Manlin took so long to register.
Lu Jiaxin said, "Why should I be angry? The money is his, he can give it to me if he wants to, and stop giving it to me if he doesn't want to. How can a grown man starve to death?"
Nie Zhan said seriously: "She will really starve to death."
It turned out that Nie Manlin went abroad for college and not only got separated from her friends, but her wallet and ID were stolen. She reported the case and stayed in the police station for a day, without eating anything the whole day.
Lu Jiaxin was stunned when she heard this and said, "How is that possible? The police station didn't give her food?"
Nie Zhan said: "That country discriminates against Chinese people. After she took the statement, no one cared about her. She did not reveal her identity and did not call back to China."
"Luckily I wasn't stupid enough to stay in the police station. That place is a bit chaotic, and it's dangerous for a single woman to be out there alone."
After hearing this, Lu Jiaxin had only one thought: "Fortunately, your grandfather is in good health and has trained you to be talented. Otherwise, with your aunt and your mother's temper, they would have been skinned alive."
Nie Jingwen is actually pretty good in their generation, but he has no problem maintaining the status quo. As for Nie Zhan, he is a pioneer, and with him, the Nie family will not decline.
Nie Zhan did not deny this: "Grandpa is also overworked, so his health is not very good now."
Lu Jiaxin has always been curious about Nie Manli's husband: "Your uncle has been in Africa for several years. Why hasn't he come back?"
Nie Zhan was silent for a moment and then said, "Actually, my aunt divorced that man."
"Ah...they're getting divorced, why didn't the Hong Kong media report it?"
Nie Zhan said: "We informed the media, so they didn't report it at the time. He went too far. It would have been fine if he just played around with other women, but he even had an illegitimate child."
He was a son-in-law, but he dared to have an illegitimate child. His ambition was obvious. How could Mr. Nie tolerate this? Naturally, he had to kick him out.
"He just agreed to the divorce obediently?"
"My grandfather had evidence that he had embezzled public funds and committed crimes. If I didn't divorce him, he would go to jail. I had no choice but to agree to the divorce and go to Africa."
Okay, the old man is still better. Although Nie Manli and Nie Manlin have their own shortcomings, they are lucky to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory.
