The speed of Wang Shi was quite fast; from informing Jiang Yuanjiu about the matter to arranging a eting for the two, it only took a day.
Yu itong initially held a try-and-see attitude, but upon eting Jiang Yuanjiu, she discovered they had common interests. Both liked reading and exercising, and Jiang Yuanjiu also enjoyed making desserts. Coincidentally, Yu itong was currently taking a cooking class, and making desserts and cooking was essentially the sa.
After dinner, the two went to see a movie, but since it was quite late, they went ho afterward. At ho, she thought about calling Lu Jiaxin but gave up after seeing it was eleven o’clock. Lu Jiaxin was into health and usually went to bed before ten. According to Zong Shing, her schedule could even compare with her mother-in-law’s.
Early the next morning, Yu itong called Lu Jiaxin: "Jiaxin, thank you!"
Upon hearing that, Lu Jiaxin knew she was quite satisfied and reminded her, "Although everything seems fine, you can’t judge a book by its cover. You should observe and see if he’s really suitable for you."
So people are good at disguising themselves; like dostic abusers who are gentle and refined outside but turn violent at ho. So, in a relationship, you can’t let emotions cloud your judgnt; you need to see if the person is genuinely gentle or just pretending.
Yu itong knew Lu Jiaxin was concerned about her: "Don’t worry, six years ago I thought liking soone was enough. Now, everything must satisfy before I consider marriage."
Dating doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy, but marriage is different. After experiencing loss once, she planned to be cautious this ti, ensuring his consistency and commitnt to reach the end.
With that assurance, Lu Jiaxin felt relieved.
Also, that noon, Nie Zhan called Lu Jiaxin and said, "Jiaxin, Mokrich will attend our engagent banquet next month."
He had already introduced Su Heyuan to Mokrich, and now they were negotiating with AZLK. Once the deal is settled, Lu Jiaxin’s second investnt will need to be made.
Lu Jiaxin naturally welcod it: "What does he like? Let’s arrange it in advance."
Nie Zhan didn’t want her to be exhausted: "There will be many things to handle at the engagent, so let Su Heyuan take care of him! When he cos again, we’ll entertain him properly."
Lu Jiaxin recalled what Zong Shing said: "Their wedding is scheduled for a week after our engagent banquet, so they might not have ti to entertain Mokrich either?"
"Let him arrange it."
"Okay."
Nie Zhan then asked when to visit the Forty-nine City: "I need to make a trip to Arica next week. Jiaxin, let’s go back to the Mainland tomorrow!"
Traveling to and from Arica takes a week, and he might get busy with official duties after returning. The longer it takes, the more it seems he doesn’t value the Lu Family.
This ti Lu Hongjun almost lost his life, and as the future son-in-law, he should visit. Lu Jiaxin said, "I have a eting at Xinxin Real Estate tomorrow, so let’s go back the day after! I also need them to clean the room, air out the bedding and all."
"Alright, then the day after it is."
At night, while lying in bed, Nie Zhan held Lu Jiaxin and said, "Jiaxin, I know you don’t like him. But given his current situation, let’s put the past behind; there’s no need to hold grudges."
He realized that when Lu Jiaxin learned of Lu Hongjun’s life-threatening situation, she felt it deeply despite her tough front. He didn’t intend to resolve their grudges, just believed there was no need to cling to past issues. Otherwise, if sothing unexpected happens, with Jiaxin’s temperant, she’d surely regret it.
Lu Jiaxin replied, "I know what I’m doing."
Nie Zhan then switched topics, sharing gossip about Hu Zhifeng: "That woman wanted to have a baby before going to Australia, but Brother Feng didn’t agree."
Unfortunately, Lu Jiaxin wasn’t interested in this gossip: "Sister Shing told the woman wants to have the baby before going to Australia. I think, once the baby is born, she won’t go to Australia. She’s not foolish; she’s with Hu Zhifeng for the money. If she takes the child to Australia, feelings will fade, and she’d only get a small alimony later."
Nie Zhan laughed and said, "Brother Feng already told the woman, she could either go to Australia this month or abort the child, nothing in between."
That took Lu Jiaxin by surprise: "Why so firm this ti?"
Nie Zhan didn’t know the reasons but was pleased to see such a change in Hu Zhifeng: "Whatever the reason, it’s good if he’ll focus his ti and energy on the family."
Lu Jiaxin snorted coldly: "The dog won’t change its habit. Without that Tina, there will be Wang Nalina ina. Nie Zhan, you better not be like him, or else we’ll have to part ways. I won’t share a man with another woman; it’s dirty."
Nie Zhan felt sowhat helpless: "Don’t worry, such a thing won’t happen with ."
Lu Jiaxin thought, if a man’s words were trustworthy, pigs could fly. However, if the stakes were high enough, they could restrain themselves.
The next day at noon, Zong Shing called Lu Jiaxin to ask for afternoon tea over the weekend. When she heard that Lu Jiaxin was returning to the Mainland, she regretted, "itong said she’s busy on weekends too, and Huihui can’t go shopping now. Alas, I won’t go either."
She knew many ladies but always had to talk in circles with them. The point of having afternoon tea was relaxation, but chatting with them was exhausting.
Lu Jiaxin chuckled and said, "Sister itong might not be able to join us for shopping and afternoon tea for a while now."
"What? She’s into soone?"
Lu Jiaxin nodded, "She likes him. Says they’re well-matched in thoughts and hobbies, and they talk endlessly together. As long as Jiang Yuanjiu is genuine, Sister itong is likely to marry before ."
It’s rare to find such a good match, and Yu itong will surely cherish it.
Thinking about her age, Zong Shing laughed, "Didn’t you say you’d consider marriage at twenty-five? If itong marries after you, she’ll be in her thirties."
Lu Jiaxin thought, pursuing a career would an marrying in one’s thirties; otherwise, having kids would take away ti and energy.
Zong Shing advised, "It’s best for won to marry and have babies before thirty; recovery is quicker. When I had Kai Kai, I was energetic and could get up on my own the sa night. But after the fourth, I couldn’t get out of bed until the third day and needed support."
Having gone through it, she realized the older you are, the harder childbirth is and the longer the recovery. She wouldn’t push itong, since she also has a career to pursue, but Lu Jiaxin doesn’t have such worries.
Lu Jiaxin knew her advice made sense but wasn’t fond of the topic: "Sister Shing, I have it planned; I’ll definitely marry and have a baby before thirty."
Zong Shing smiled, "Okay, since you have a plan, I won’t ntion it anymore."
