Lu Jiaxin and Shi Xinyu played tennis, and after one round, both of them were sweating profusely. Shi Xinyu has been practicing every day recently, and her tennis skills and physical strength are obviously better than before. Not only Lu Jiaxin, but also Yu Meitong and Zong Shimeng were defeated by her.
After Shi Xinyu sat down and drank some water, she said happily, "It seems that my practice for the past half month has been very effective. I have to continue practicing."
Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "If you like it, practice more. It's good for your health. Getting engaged is also a physical job. My body almost couldn't handle it."
Shi Xinyu's engagement date was set, December 12. However, the engagement party was held in Singapore, and Lu Jiaxin and the other three were invited.
All three agreed.
Shi Xinyu smiled and said, "Tao Yong said the same thing. He now comes to play basketball with me whenever he's free. He's lost five kilograms in the past half month and looks more handsome than before."
Lu Jiaxin really doesn’t think Tao Yong is handsome. One can only say that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Speaking of this, Shi Xinyu looked at Lu Jiaxin and said, "Jiaxin, how does Nie Zhan maintain his figure? It's been more than three years since we met, and it feels like his figure has always been the same and hasn't changed."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "He exercises every morning and evening, and the intensity is quite high. He also has a nutritionist, so he never touches anything that is bad for his health and makes him fat."
She is not as good as Nie Zhan in this aspect. When she encounters food she likes, she doesn't care about the calories, she just satisfies her taste buds first. It's the same, if she doesn't pay attention to her weight, it will soar.
Zong Shimeng said, "It seems that my Zhifeng needs to learn from Nie Zhan. He has gained ten pounds this year. If he continues to gain so much weight, it will be bad for his health."
Lu Jiaxin thought about her previous complaints and said, "Sister Shimeng, if you ask your brother-in-law to lose weight, I'm afraid your mother-in-law and great-grandmother will scold you again."
In the past, she followed Nie Zhan in calling Hu "Brother" and "Sister-in-law", but after becoming good friends with Zong Shimeng, she changed to calling them "Sister" and "Brother-in-law".
Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "No, they are very concerned about Zhifeng's health. I told them before that Zhifeng's blood lipids were a bit high, and they were so worried that they asked me to keep an eye on his diet."
Lu Jiaxin said with disdain: "Your mother-in-law and great-grandmother are really hypocritical."
Sister Shi Meng wants to lose weight, but they say that being plump is a blessing and they won't let her lose weight. When it's Hu Zhifeng's turn, they will have to supervise him to lose weight. This is the disadvantage of living with elders. They like to control everything and always like to use the same old tricks to ask you. Fortunately, she doesn't have this worry. Even if she gets married, it will be just her and Nie Zhan, and she won't live under the same roof with the elders.
Yu Meitong snorted coldly and said, "It's not just her mother-in-law and great-grandmother. This world has two standards for men and women. If a man has a wife and looks for mistresses outside, others will praise him for his ability; if a woman finds a little lover outside after marriage, she is a slut."
Seeing her indignant, Lu Jiaxin asked in surprise, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with you?"
Yu Meitong said in a somewhat depressed mood, "It's my cousin. I don't know how many women my cousin's husband has found outside since he got married, and no one has said he is wrong. My aunt always advises him to be more open-minded. My cousin was just having a private relationship with an old friend, and when her in-laws found out, they not only scolded her terribly, but also kicked her out."
"It's fine if the husband's family scolds her, but her own family also thinks she's ashamed and won't let her in. Why is it okay for a man to have affairs outside, but it's indecent for a woman to find someone to relieve her loneliness."
Lu Jiaxin's focus was different: "How do you know her family wouldn't let her in?"
Yu Meitong said: "She had nowhere to go, so she came to live with me. My house is small and the other room is rented out, so she had no choice but to live with a friend?"
Shi Xinyu couldn't understand: "Why do we have to stay at someone else's house instead of a hotel?"
She doesn't like staying at other people's homes. Firstly, it's inconvenient for her and secondly, it disturbs others, so she would rather stay in a hotel.
"What about the property under your name?"
"No, she has no property to her name."
Zong Shimeng asked doubtfully, "When you get married, your husband's family will give you a betrothal gift, and your parents' family will also give you a dowry. Where are these things?"
When she got married, her husband's family gave her a betrothal gift of 16 million yuan, and her parents' family gave her a dowry of 5.8 million yuan. All these things are her personal property.
"I gave her more than three million as a dowry, but she spent it all."
Lu Jiaxin asked: "Are you spending it for yourself or for a man?"
I’m not sure about Yu Meitong.
Lu Jiaxin guessed that her cousin must have spent all her money on men. Such a woman did not deserve sympathy: "You can choose not to spend a man's money, but it is stupid to spend money on a man without earning any money yourself."
Zong Shimeng also felt that such people did not deserve sympathy, so she changed the topic and talked about stocks. The stock market was rising too well, and she had used all her private money to buy stocks. She bought three stocks at the beginning of the year, one of which rose more than three times, one more than doubled, and another rose at least 70%.
After hearing this, Shi Xinyu couldn't help but say, "Sister Shi Meng, I envy you so much! The highest increase among the five stocks I bought was only 130%, and the lowest was only 40%."
Yu Meitong interrupted, "I am the one who should be envious the most. I didn't buy anything. When I sold those brand-name bags, clothes, shoes and socks, I thought about buying stocks, but I was worried that the stocks I bought would fall and I wouldn't be able to buy a house."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Sister Meitong, we bought the stocks with our spare money, so a drop in the stock price won't affect our lives. You need to buy a house, and if the stock price drops and you can't buy a house, then you will have to put up with your weird colleague every day."
"If you don't get enough rest at night, you won't have energy to work during the day. How can you achieve good results if you are not in a good working state? How can you get a promotion and a raise in the future?"
Yu Meitong smiled and said, "Jia Xin, you are really a qualified boss."
If you have connections, you don't have to be a fool. Not long after she entered the company, the company's top management knew that she and Lu Jiaxin were like sisters. So no one dared to make things difficult for her after entering the company, and she was able to become a regular employee smoothly.
Shi Xinyu asked curiously: "Jia Xin, how much did your stock increase?"
Zong Shimeng smiled and said, "You asked the wrong question. You should ask how much Jiaxin earned in total. Jiaxin, do you know how much you earned?"
All the stocks were sold, so Lu Jiaxin naturally knew how much she had earned: "I earned 76.88 million."
She omitted the green currency at the end, which would make people think that she had earned more than 79 million Hong Kong dollars. This amount of money has been earned by many wealthy people in Hong Kong, and it is not conspicuous. She deliberately made it accurate to 10,000 to introduce the next sentence.
Shi Xinyu's eyes almost popped out of her head. It was so much. Her entire net worth was only over 4 million. Compared with Jia Xin, wow, she was poor.
Yu Meitong was also extremely envious. Jiaxin had such capital, so the elders of the Nie family came to apologize. Unlike her, the Fu family and her family thought that she would regret breaking off the engagement later.
