The grandfather and grandson left the hospital and took a car ho.
Nie Jingwen hesitated and said, "Grandpa, he and our sister-in-law don’t look like father and daughter at all."
"Why don’t they look alike?"
Nie Jingwen noticed that Lu Hongjun was always accommodating and a bit ingratiating when talking to Old Master Nie. But Lu Jiaxin was different; she wasn’t intimidated at all in front of Grandpa.
Old Master Nie said, "What ingratiating? That’s just him respecting . However, a person like Lu Hongjun certainly couldn’t have taught Jiaxin to be such an outstanding child. This girl is excellent, she must take after her mother."
Although so people subtly say that Nie Zhan is afraid of his wife, Old Master Nie believes these people are just jealous. For his grandson to find such a good granddaughter-in-law, she must be dearly cherished.
Nie Jingwen thought about the couple of kids in the family and felt the weight of responsibility.
Zhang Lanlan confird the dishes for the engagent banquet in the afternoon, so she didn’t go. She discussed Lu Hongjun with her husband in the evening, curiously asking, "Our third sister-in-law is only 21 this year, Uncle Lu is already 62, aning he had Jiaxin at age 41. Why did he have a child so late? And only had one child?"
Nie Jingwen indeed knew: "I heard Uncle Lu was injured during the war, and the doctors said it would be hard for him to have children in this life; having our sister-in-law is considered a miracle."
Zhang Lanlan felt puzzled, asking, "If having a child is so difficult, wouldn’t you usually pamper them? Why is the relationship between father and daughter so bad?"
She hadn’t inquired about the relationship between father and daughter, but seeing how well Lu Jiaxin was doing, yet didn’t bring her old father to Hong Kong to enjoy life, and now during the engagent, managed to send him to the hospital. All signs point to a very poor relationship between father and daughter, maybe just a tad better than Ah Zhan’s relationship with his aunt.
Nie Jingwen knew the reason but didn’t want to tell Zhang Lanlan, so he quickly shifted the topic to Nie Zhan’s engagent banquet.
The guest list for the engagent banquet was prepared by Nie Jingwen for the Nie family’s friends and relatives, while Nie Zhan and Lu Jiaxin prepared their own list. According to the confird list, twenty-five tables were reserved; the Nie family and Nie Zhan together have twenty tables, while Lu Jiaxin’s side has five tables.
Feeling that the numbers between the two families were too disparate, Zhang Lanlan specifically talked to Lu Jiaxin about it, but she didn’t care at all. However, considering Lu Jiaxin’s wealth, indeed, she doesn’t need numbers for prestige.
Zhang Lanlan thought about the news she received, saying, "Jingwen, our sister-in-law has acquired Yu Family’s costics company; have you heard about it? The costics business isn’t easy."
Nie Jingwen received the news imdiately, but he wasn’t surprised: "A couple of years ago, I jokingly asked Ah Zhan over dinner why they ventured into fashion, jewelry, and film, but not open a costics company, and Ah Zhan said it wasn’t the right ti yet."
"Why not the right ti?"
Nie Jingwen shook his head: "Probably because our sister-in-law didn’t want it ntioned, so he couldn’t tell . Regardless, his business is booming now, which is beneficial to us too."
Zhang Lanlan said nothing. During property division, she felt a real estate company was better than a bank. But Grandpa said her husband was better at holding steady rather than expanding, so the bank suited him more. Initially, seeing Nie Zhan take over the company without much action, she thought Grandpa read it wrong, but later admitted he was right after being impressed. Just that now the gap between the two brothers keeps growing, sotis it makes her anxious.
Letting go of the thoughts, Zhang Lanlan asked, "There are only three days left until the engagent banquet, is there any certainty about whether Aunt will return?"
Nie Jingwen shook his head, saying she wouldn’t return: "Ah Zhan doesn’t want her to co back, for this, Grandpa even scolded him. Unexpectedly, Grandpa called yesterday, and Aunt said her child was feeling unwell these days and wouldn’t return."
Zhang Lanlan felt it was better not to return, just in case she made unpleasant remarks during the engagent banquet, with our sister-in-law’s personality, she would definitely flip out. She had nothing against Lu Jiaxin; her temper is big, but she has every reason for it.
Lu Jiaxin arranged her matters and started focusing on her engagent banquet. Actually, Zhang Lanlan had arranged everything, she just needed to ensure there were no slip-ups at the ti.
Two days before the engagent, Sister-in-law Lu ca over with Lu An and Lu Shan. This ti, Lu Ping went to pick them up, while Lu Hongjun was still in the hospital for rehabilitation training.
No man doesn’t love cars, and Lu An, being quite outgoing, exclaid upon seeing the cars picking them up were rcedes: "These two cars are much more beautiful than the Crowns in the Forty-nine City."
Lu Ping said, "These are the cars the family bodyguards and helpers use, my aunt and uncle have cars that are not only prettier but perform better."
Lu An looked and asked him, "Do you an my aunt and uncle have several cars?"
Lu Ping said, "Not several cars, but more than twenty. However, half of them are antique cars collected by my uncle, only for display and not driven."
Being here really made them feel Aunt’s extravagance. Not to ntion the residence and luxury cars, even the hospital where Uncle stayed was different from the mainland. The attentive service and treatnt made it feel less like a hospital, more like a high-ranking cadre’s sanatorium. After chatting with a nurse did he realize Uncle’s hospital stay costs several thousand a day.
Knowing Lu An wanted to see luxury cars, Wang Lin specifically parked the car in the underground garage, cars normally used are parked in the yard during dayti.
Entering the underground garage, seeing a row of cars parked there, Lu An’s eyes were wide.
Although Sister-in-law Lu didn’t understand cars, seeing these cars’ appearance made her aware they were of great value. Instinctively, she asked, "How much are these worth?"
Lu An, who loves cars and knows a bit about them: "These cars combined surely exceed millions. Mom, my aunt is truly fortunate, able to drive different cars every day."
Wang Lin added from the side, "For the boss, cars are just a ans of transportation, as long as they are high-performing and safe. Mr. Nie loves cars, and the cars parked here are his."
What’s unntioned is that the boss also loves watches and has collected quite a few. Watches take up small space but, like luxury cars, are extravagant money-wise.
The only one relatively calm was Lu Shan, having had a glimpse before.
Having seen enough of the cars, the group went upstairs. Lu Jiaxin had gone out for errands and hadn’t returned, so the steward arranged them first.
There are three guest rooms on the first floor, considering Sister-in-law Lu’s age, let her occupy one, while Lu Shan and Lu An were arranged on the third floor, young lads can climb stairs easily.
Once everything was settled, Steward ng took them on a villa tour. Except for the second floor, they visited other places. The second floor was where Lu Jiaxin and Nie Zhan lived, guests weren’t allowed.
After touring the inside of the villa, they went to the back garden. The back garden not only had extensive flower beds but also a swimming pool and tennis court. The swimming pool was originally there, while tennis was added later; they could play a match when free.
After the tour, everyone had the sa thought, Jiaxin (aunt) is really wealthy!
