Chapter 483: Chapter 471: Reminder Chapter 483: Chapter 471: Reminder “Bang, bang, bang…”
Lu Jiaxin and Shi Xinyu played tennis, and after a set, both of them were dripping with sweat. Shi Xinyu had been practicing every day recently, and her skills and physical fitness had clearly improved from before. Not only Lu Jiaxin, but Yu itong and Zong Shing had also been defeated by her.
After sitting down and drinking so water, Shi Xinyu said happily, “It looks like my practice for the past half month has been very effective. I need to keep training.”
Zong Shing said with a smile, “Since you enjoy it, practice more. It’s good for your health. Engagents are also physically demanding, and if your body isn’t up to it, you can get worn out.”
The date for Shi Xinyu’s engagent had been set for December 12th. However, the engagent party was to be held in Singapore, and they had invited Lu Jiaxin and the other two.
All three of them had agreed to go.
Shi Xinyu said with a beaming smile, “Tao Yong says the sa thing. Now he accompanies to play tennis whenever he has ti. He has lost about five kilos in a little over a month and looks handsor than before.”
Tao Yong being handso? Lu Jiaxin certainly didn’t think so. She could only say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Speaking of this, Shi Xinyu looked at Lu Jiaxin and asked, “Jiaxin, how does Nie Zhan maintain his figure? It’s been over three years since I’ve known him, and I feel like his physique has always stayed the sa without any changes.”
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “He exercises in the morning and evening, with a pretty intense routine. Plus, he has a nutritionist. As for things that are fattening and not good for the body, he never touches them.”
In this respect, she was not as disciplined as Nie Zhan. When it ca to food she liked, she didn’t care about calories or anything; she would just satisfy her taste buds first. And because of this, her weight would soar if she wasn’t careful.
Zong Shing said, “It seems that I need to get my Hu Zhifeng to learn from Nie Zhan. He has gained about ten kilos this year, and gaining more would be bad for his health.”
Thinking back to her previous complaints, Lu Jiaxin said, “Sister Shing, if you get your husband to lose weight, I’m afraid your mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law will have sothing to say about it again.”
Previously, she would call Hu Zhifeng and his wife like Nie Zhan did, but after becoming close with Zong Shing, she started calling them brother-in-law and sister instead.
Zong Shing said with a laugh, “That won’t happen. They are very concerned about Zhifeng’s health. When I ntioned that Zhifeng’s blood lipids were a bit high, they were so worried and told to keep an eye on his diet.”
Lu Jiaxin said with a look of disgust, “Your mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law really are hypocrites.”
When Sister Shing wanted to lose weight, they said that being plump was a sign of good fortune and wouldn’t let her lose weight, but when it ca to Hu Zhifeng’s turn, they insisted on him losing weight. This is the downside of living with elders; they like to ddle in everything, and they always use the sa old expectations. Thankfully, she didn’t have this trouble. Even if she got married, it would just be her and Nie Zhan, without having to live under the sa roof as the elders.
Yu itong snorted coldly and said, “It’s not just her in-laws. This world has double standards for n and won. n can have mistresses and people will praise them for being capable, but if a woman finds a lover after marriage, she is labeled as promiscuous.”
Lu Jiaxin looked at her indignation and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong? Did sothing happen to soone you know?”
Yu itong, with a tinge of sadness in her voice, said, “It’s my cousin. Her husband has been fooling around with God knows how many won since they got married, and no one criticizes him for it. My aunt even kept advising her to be more open-minded. My cousin was only privately in touch with an old friend, and when her in-laws found out, they not only insulted her cruelly, but also kicked her out.”
“The fact that her in-laws insulted her was one thing, but even her own family thought she was disgraceful and wouldn’t let her in the house. Why is it fine for n to ss around, but for won to seek solace in soone, they’re considered lowly?”
Lu Jiaxin was focused on a different point, “How do you know her family wouldn’t let her in?”
Yu itong said, “She had nowhere else to go, so she ca to stay with . My place is small, and the other room is rented out, so she had no choice but to stay with a friend.”
Shi Xinyu couldn’t understand, “Why would she stay at soone else’s place rather than at a hotel?”
She didn’t like to stay at other people’s hos; firstly, it was inconvenient for herself and secondly, it would disturb the hosts, so she would rather stay in a hotel.
Yu itong said sowhat helplessly, “She usually uses her husband’s supplentary card, but after she was kicked out, the card stopped working, and she left her Paopao at her in-law’s place, leaving her with nothing.”
“What about assets registered in her na?”
“None, she doesn’t have any assets in her na.”
Zong Shing asked with confusion, “At the ti of marriage, the groom’s family gives a dowry, and the bride’s family provides a bridal gift, what about those items?”
At the ti of her marriage, her in-laws had given a dowry of 16 million, and her parents had provided a bridal gift of 5.8 million, all of which were her personal belongings.
“They did, they provided more than 3 million in bridal gifts, all of which she spent.”
Lu Jiaxin asked, “Did she spend it herself, or did she spend it on a man?”
Yu itong wasn’t clear about that.
Lu Jiaxin guessed her cousin must have spent all the money on a man, thinking such a woman didn’t deserve sympathy, “One can choose not to spend a man’s money, but not earning her own money and still squandering it on a man is just too foolish.”
Zong Shing also felt such a person was not worthy of sympathy, so she changed the subject to talk about stocks. The stocks had risen so well that she had used all her private savings to buy stocks too. At the beginning of the year, she had bought three stocks: one had more than tripled, one had more than doubled, and the least had only increased by 70%.
Shi Xinyu couldn’t help but say, “Sister Shing, I’m so envious of you! The best perforr among the five stocks I bought has only risen by 130%, and the worst has only gone up by 40%.”
Yu itong interjected, “The one you should be envious of is ; I didn’t buy any at all. When I sold those designer bags and clothes, I thought about investing in stocks, but I was also worried that if the stocks fell, I wouldn’t be able to buy a house.”
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile, “Sister itong, we all used extra money to buy stocks; if they fell, it wouldn’t affect our lives. But buying a house is an essential need for you. If your stocks were to fall, and you couldn’t buy a house, you’d have to endure your bizarre colleague every day.”
“If you don’t rest well at night, you won’t be energetic at work during the day. How can you achieve good results if you’re not in a good state at work? How will you get promotions and pay raises in the future?”
Yu itong smiled and said, “Jiaxin, you really are a qualified boss.”
Having connections doesn’t an being a fool; not long after she joined the company, the senior managent knew she was as close as sisters with Lu Jiaxin. So, no one in the company dared to trouble her, and her probation period went smoothly.
Shi Xinyu asked curiously, “Jiaxin, how much have your stocks risen?”
Zong Shing laughed and said, “You’re asking the wrong question. You should ask Jiaxin how much she has earned in total. Jiaxin, do you know how much you’ve made?”
Having sold the stocks, Lu Jiaxin naturally knew how much she had made, “I made 76.88 million.”
She omitted the unit “greenbacks” to make it seem like she had earned over 79 million Hong Kong Dollars. That amount wouldn’t stand out in Hong Kong, where many wealthy people had made such sums. She specified the precise figure in millions to segue into the next part of her statent.
Shi Xinyu’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, so much money, her entire net worth added up to only a little over 4 million. Compared to Jiaxin, she felt like a pauper, wailing in her heart.
Yu itong was also incredibly envious. With that kind of capital, the Nie Family’s elders had co to apologize, unlike in her case, where both the Fu Family and her own relatives thought she would regret calling off her engagent.
