Chapter 216 -205: Evening Dress

At the school gate, Lu Jiaxin saw Feng Lihua and, after greeting her, asked Cui Zhihui, “Do you want me to have Sister Feng give you a ride home?”

Cui Zhihui shook her head and refused. Lu Jiaxin had already helped her out a lot today, and she didn’t want to trouble her further.

Feng Lihua glanced at Cui Zhihui and said with a smile, “It’s no trouble. There’s an aunt at home cooking dinner. I can drop the young lady off at the entrance of the residential area, then take you home.”

Lu Jiaxin also urged, “Your home isn’t far anyway. By the time Sister Feng gets back, it will be just in time for dinner.”

Surprised, Cui Zhihui asked, “How do you know where I live?”

She remembered that she hadn’t told Lu Jiaxin her address. Although they had shared a desk for a week, they had spoken less than ten sentences to each other before today.

Lu Jiaxin was quick to respond, “Dong Jiajia told me.”

The Fuan Residential Area was a mid-range housing estate with diligent property management, so Feng Lihua was at ease. Of course, the main reason was that, apart from the potential danger from the He family, Lu Jiaxin had no enemies.

An hour later, Feng Lihua returned. She said to Lu Jiaxin, “On the way back after dropping the girl off, I ran into a couple of hoodlums mouthing off with disrespect. I gave them a lesson and warned them that if they dare to bully your classmate again, I’ll be looking for them.”

Lu Jiaxin frowned and said, “She’s getting bullied by her classmates at school, how come she’s also being bullied outside?”

Feng Lihua wasn’t surprised and said, “If her classmates can bully her at school, those brutes outside who pick on the weak and fear the strong certainly won’t let her off the hook either. If you don’t want to be bullied, you have to fight back desperately, but there are very few with that kind of courage. Don’t worry, I’ve talked to her family today. That should get their attention.”

“Her family? Her dad is in jail, her mom has remarried, her sister is with a gang leader, and her brother and sister are both still in school.”

Feng Lihua hadn’t expected her family circumstances to be so complicated.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jiaxin made a phone call to Su Heyuan, “Has our company hired a lawyer?”

“We have cooperating lawyers, what’s the matter?”

Lu Jiaxin said, “I want to find a personal lawyer so that if I run into trouble, they can come and help me out.”

“What, have you run into trouble?”

Lu Jiaxin briefly mentioned her incident of hitting someone, “Lawyer Bai is, after all, my aunt’s personal lawyer. It’s not good to always trouble him, so it’s more convenient for me to hire my own lawyer.”

It wasn’t that she was afraid of troubling Lawyer Bai, after all, his service wasn’t free. It was that she didn’t trust anyone around Gu Xiuxiu, not even Aunt Hong who had been with her aunt for more than thirty years and still betrayed her; she didn’t dare to trust anyone else either.

Su Heyuan found this interesting, “You can fight?”

“When I was running a stall in Ancient Capital, I often got bullied, and I’ve fought with Xue Mao and those people several times. The more I fought, the more experience I gained, and later on, I learned a few tricks from Xiaoxiao, too,” Lu Jiaxin said.

Su Heyuan was silent for a moment then asked, “Do you know how your dad is doing now?”

“I don’t know, and I don’t want to know.”

Su Heyuan said, “He has proposed a divorce to Ding Jing, but she doesn’t agree. However, it’s useless for her not to agree while she’s in prison, and it won’t be long before they’ll be divorced.”

Lu Jiaxin’s four-word answer to him was, “It has nothing to do with me.”

Su Heyuan reminded her, “Given your dad’s personality, he’ll remarry after the divorce, and then you’ll end up with a stepmother. A stepmother doesn’t matter, but you have to make sure you get a hold of your dad’s wealth. Otherwise, when he gets old, you’ll be the one paying for his care, which would be too much of a loss.”

With Lu Jiaxin’s abilities, she was destined to be a wealthy lady. Having money but not taking care of her biological father would be like giving the tabloids something to talk about.

Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, “Don’t worry, in his heart, the most important person is himself. The things in his hands will only go to the person willing to look after him, others can’t take them even if they want to.”

“You don’t have to bring him up anymore, it affects my mood. As for losses, it doesn’t matter. I will not shirk the responsibilities and duties that are mine. Consider it repayment for the fifteen years of upbringing.”

Su Heyuan understood the meaning behind her words, “Alright, I won’t mention him or her again. Jiaxin, there’s something I want to ask of you. Heming is too stubborn. He refuses to come for the Old Master’s 70th birthday in October, no matter how much I persuade him.”

“Why is it so important that he comes?”

Su Heyuan explained that it was Old Master Su’s wish to have his grandchildren gather around him on his 70th birthday.

However, Lu Jiaxin held a different opinion, “I actually think it’s good for your family that Su Heming doesn’t attend the birthday celebration. It serves as a constant reminder to Old Master Su that he was the one who wronged your grandmother, father, and two aunts.”

“I know Old Master Su not only has money and connections, but also valuable experience. Yet the times are progressing, and those experiences might not suit the present. As for money and connections, we can accumulate them slowly. I think you don’t need to worry about his opinions anymore.”

Su Heyuan couldn’t give up just yet, “I won’t fight for the Su family’s company, but he still has seventy to eighty million in his hands, I can’t let the other branches take that without a fight,”

Lu Jiaxin spoke, “It’s okay for you to fight for it, but if Su Heming doesn’t want to bow down for the money, I think you should respect his decision.”

Though Su Heming spent money extravagantly, his desire for it wasn’t great. He was the type who would spend generously when wealthy, yet content with simple food when money was tight. This kind of character was actually quite good. Without too many worries, one lives happily, which was also why Lu Jiaxin got along well with him.

Su Heyuan fell silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll listen to you and respect his decision.”

After discussing personal matters, Su Heyuan brought up fabric and tailoring, “I’ve found the fabric you wanted, I will get it and bring it to you tomorrow.”

“I also need a tailor.”

“Are you planning to make clothes?”

Lu Jiaxin hummed in response, “I’m going to the He Group’s anniversary celebration on Sunday, and I want to make a dress for the banquet.”

Su Heyuan felt that buying a dress from a designer shop would be better, “The He family has been in Hong Kong for so many years and has wide connections. The anniversary celebration will definitely invite many celebrities and wealthy people. If you wear a dress you made yourself, you’d be laughed at if people found out.”

Lu Jiaxin said smiling, “Bought clothes certainly won’t look as good as ones tailored to fit. As long as my dress is beautiful and of good quality, no one will care about the brand.”

If a garment wasn’t suitable, even a high-end brand would still be ridiculed when worn. Conversely, even if the clothes were bought from a street stall, as long as they looked good on the wearer, people would still compliment your taste in clothes.

Su Heyuan did not oppose her further, but he thought it would be wise to have a backup plan, which was to buy a dress, so she had something to wear in case the dress she made did not turn out as hoped.

Lu Jiaxin replied, “That would be too wasteful, it’s not necessary.”

Nevertheless, Su Heyuan’s words reminded her, and she decided to make two dresses, in case she needed to change during the banquet if one got dirty.
