Chapter 552: Chapter 535: Comparing People Can Be Maddening
A week later, Nie Zhan smiled as he handed a box to Lu Jiaxin, “Open it and take a look.”
By the shape of the box, Jiaxin knew it was jewelry. She asked with bright eyes and a beaming smile, “What wonderful thing have you bought for this ti?”
As soon as the jewelry box was opened, her smile shone as brightly as the stars.
This ti, Nie Zhan had given her a South Sea pearl necklace, each pearl as big as the nail on a thumb. These pearls, each round and pure, sparkled a dazzling silver-white, exuding an elegance and romance beyond compare.
Jiaxin was so delighted that she took it out and said, “Ah Zhan, Ah Zhan, put it on for .”
This was the first ti Nie Zhan had seen her so happy about sothing; although she had said she liked the jewelry he had given her before, she had never smiled so radiantly. Clearly, compared to various gemstones, she preferred pearls and jade ornants.
After putting on the necklace, Jiaxin ran to the walk-in closet to look in the mirror. After admiring herself, she embraced Nie Zhan and gave him a kiss, “Ah Zhan, where did you buy this necklace?”
Nie Zhan replied with a smile, “It belonged to my friend’s sister. When I visited him in the South Sea, I saw his sister wearing it. Knowing you’d like it, I called him to ask about it.”
“She must have been reluctant to sell such a good thing; what did you give her in exchange?” asked Jiaxin. If it were her, no matter how much money was offered, she wouldn’t be willing to sell sothing she liked. But if soone were to offer her sothing even more desirable, she would consider it.
Nie Zhan shook his head and said, “It wasn’t in exchange; I bought it. Her sister is having financial problems right now, and when she found out I wanted the necklace, she priced it at eight million Hong Kong Dollars.”
One cannot put a price on what the heart desires, and without any hesitation, Nie Zhan agreed to the price since Jiaxin liked it so much. However, Nie Zhan added with so regret, “It’s a pity it’s not light gold in color.”
“Each has its own beauty, the silver is also very pretty,” Jiaxin replied.
Touched and delighted by her boyfriend’s thoughtfulness, Jiaxin was extrely passionate that evening, resulting in her nearly being unable to get out of bed the next morning.
With a sore back, Jiaxin felt that she didn’t exercise enough and needed to increase her physical activity. But she also wondered how soone who sat in an office all day could have such stamina.
Because she wasn’t feeling well, Jiaxin didn’t go to work. That was the advantage of being the boss; if nothing important ca up, she could just lie at ho.
At noon, Jiaxin received a call from Shi Xinyu, “Jiaxin, I heard your company is about to start filming a movie, can I make a cao in it?”
Ever since her last cao, Shi Xinyu had been eager to try it again. She laughed and said, “Our company is going to shoot two movies soon; which one would you like to make a cao in?”
Shi Xinyu replied excitedly, “The one with Brother Fa, ‘Gambling God.’ Jiaxin, I want to play Brother Fa’s girlfriend, the ex-girlfriend is okay too.”
…
Jiaxin said, “If you want to make a cao as an extra, that’s no problem; I’ll have the director arrange it. But Brother Fa’s girlfriend is the female lead, and you can’t play that role.”
Shi Xinyu said, “I don’t want to play a brainless rich heiress; could you ask the director to arrange a better role for ?”
For those who want more significant roles, acting skills are necessary. Lu Jiaxin changed the subject, “Aren’t you getting engaged in May? If you need to prepare for the engagent, do you still have ti to cao in a film? Don’t end up arguing with Tao Yong over this.”
A cao as an extra, one or two days is enough, it won’t affect the engagent. But with Shi Xinyu acting like this, she felt it was better not to take on the extra role.
Shi Xinyu fell silent before saying, “Jiaxin, I don’t want to get engaged to Tao Yong anymore…”
Lu Jiaxin interrupted her, “Xinyu, you should speak to your parents about this, telling won’t solve anything. Also, you’re not a child anymore; you need to consider the consequences before making any decision.”
She and Shi Xinyu were friends. If she could help with difficulties, she would, but she wouldn’t interfere in matters of the heart. Especially with soone like Shi Xinyu who was overly pampered, saying too much could lead to future regrets if she truly cancelled the engagent.
Shi Xinyu, looking dejected, said, “My daddy and mommy don’t agree, they say Tao Yong is a good man. But, I feel like he isn’t as nice to as he used to be.”
Well, it’s impossible to be as close as in the beginning of a relationship, and he won’t cater to you in everything. Lu Jiaxin didn’t offer advice, only saying, “Then you should have a serious talk with Tao Yong.”
Interference in matters of love from outsiders often leads to being blad by all sides. She had a close friend who advised her cousin to break up with her boyfriend after hearing constant complaints about him. The cousin ended up reconciling with her boyfriend and they got married. Later, the boyfriend blad the close friend for stirring up trouble between them, and one ti, while drunk, he lashed out at her in front of relatives, and her cousin just stood there without a word. The friend was so upset it literally pained her, and afterwards, she steered clear of relatives’ matters.
Shi Xinyu nodded a bit gloomily.
In the afternoon, Yu itong called Lu Jiaxin, “Boss, Shi Xinyu talked about wanting to break up with Tao Yong, has she ntioned it to you?”
Lu Jiaxin humd in acknowledgnt, “She did. I told her to talk to Tao Yong, whether they are getting engaged or breaking up, they should discuss it face to face.”
Yu itong by now also had gained experience, “That’s what I told her too, but she got mad, thinking I don’t understand her. Sigh, Tao Yong may have faults, but he is devoted and tolerant of her quirks. If she lets him go, she will surely regret it.”
Shi Xinyu, shielded too well by her family, is unaware of the harshness outside, and doesn’t understand that what she has now is what many people dream of.
“When it cos to matters of the heart, we outsiders should refrain from comnting.”
Yu itong hesitated but finally said, “Boss, it’s not that I want to be nosy. But I feel that her wanting to break up with Tao Yong has sothing to do with you.”
Lu Jiaxin was taken aback; what did this have to do with her? Although Tao Yong wasn’t as considerate as Nie Zhan, his ability to tolerate Shi Xinyu’s quirks was already quite rare.
Yu itong let out a sigh, “Mr. Nie is gentle and considerate and has given you shares and precious jewelry. You both hang out often, and with Nie Zhan showing up by contrast, it’s no wonder Tao Yong doesn’t seem good in any aspect. Over ti, her mindset has beco unbalanced, leading her to consider breaking up.”
Lu Jiaxin had not expected the truth to be this way; at that mont, she felt rather conflicted.
Yu itong said, “I compared Fu Ye with Nie Zhan at first too, so I understand her feelings. But I realize that Nie Zhan treats you so well because of you. Before you ca along, he didn’t give any woman the ti of day, and he could dodge even the advances of beautiful won throwing themselves at him, letting them fall to the ground. Because of this, the dia subtly implied that he preferred n.”
Because his girlfriend was Lu Jiaxin, Nie Zhan was regarded as a remarkably good man. With anyone else, Nie Zhan would definitely not be as attentive, nor would he give such valuable jewelry and shares.
