Chapter 303: Chapter 292 Making a Will Chapter 303: Chapter 292 Making a Will Lu Jiaxin came to the law firm this time to sign three documents, the first of which was the Share Sale Agreement, which had already been completed. Next up was the second document, a Gift of Shares.
Xue Mao followed her over, and the second contract was signed quickly. Then, it was time for the will.
The procedure for the will was somewhat more complicated, but fortunately, the only assets in Lu Jiaxin’s name now were stocks and cash. The asset structure was very simple, so there was no need to verify assets again.
Before coming, Xue Mao had not known that she was going to draft a will. He asked worriedly, “Sister Xin, has something happened?”
First transferring stocks to his name, then drafting a will–it looked like something was up. The more he thought about it, the less at ease he felt.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “It’s nothing. Transferring the shares of Qirui to you because I’m not suitable to be a shareholder of Qirui. As for drafting a will, wealthy people in Hong Kong all do it; it’s just a precaution, I’m merely following suit.”
Yan Yihua thought to himself that while many wealthy people in Hong Kong drew up wills, he had only ever seen Lu Jiaxin, who was seventeen, doing so.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “Of course it’s true. I’m someone who has already ‘died’ once, now I truly cherish life, so you don’t need to overthink it.”
Xue Mao also felt that he might have been overthinking.
After the Gift of Shares contract was signed and the will drawn up, there were no issues. Xue Mao was not interested in Hong Kong and told Lu Jiaxin that he wanted to go back to work.
Seeing his eagerness, Lu Jiaxin did not stop him. Being able to do what one loves is also a kind of happiness, and it’s even better that Xue Mao still wanted to continue his research.
She called a taxi to take him to the port, and then Lu Jiaxin herself went to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel with her luggage. It’s another five-star luxury hotel, a landmark of Central.
Since she was spending money on a hotel anyway, the costs were not much different. It’s nice to experience the different services and cuisines of various hotels in turn.
Upon arriving at the lobby of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, it felt completely different from the Peninsula Hotel. This one had British-style decoration, with walls hung with vibrant oil paintings and interesting items like barbecues on display.
Lu Jiaxin booked two rooms, one for men and one for women. The service at the Mandarin Oriental is famously good, giving you a feeling of homecoming upon arrival.
Once in her room, Lu Jiaxin asked the staff member bringing up luggage, “When can we have a meal? I’m a bit hungry.”
The staff member checked his watch and said there was half an hour to mealtime, but they could provide fruit and dessert.
“Please wait a moment, miss. I’ll go speak to the catering department right now.”
Within ten minutes, a server had delivered the desserts and sliced fruits. Lu Jiaxin looked at the peeled lychees and picked one up with a toothpick to put in her mouth. Mmm, so sweet.
Qian Xiaoxiao had a strawberry, and after eating it, she nodded repeatedly to indicate it was delicious: “Sister Xin, I’ll take some over to Brother Feng and the others to eat!”
Lu Jiaxin replied with amusement, “No need, they surely have their own.”
“How could they have any? Brother Feng would never bother to order desserts and fruit.”
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “I said I was hungry and wanted to eat, those who came with me must be hungry too. The hotel will definitely send some to them.”
Having often gone out with Lu Jiaxin, Qian Xiaoxiao also understood that the level of service was commensurate with the price. Looking at the desserts and fruits, she asked, “Sister Xin, those desserts and fruits must cost quite a bit, right?”
It was Lu Jiaxin’s first time staying at this hotel, so she was not sure: “It’s not like I’m staying here every day. Once I’m certain Aunt and Haifan are safe and sound, I will go to Venice.”
She planned to enjoy this holiday thoroughly. Once the company started, she would be busy, and any travel would need to be planned in advance. She had considered not starting a company at all and simply focusing on investing. With the memories of her past life, she wouldn’t lack money in this one. However, this idea was fleeting. She would wait until her brand was established and her dreams from her past life were realized before deciding to live leisurely.
Xiaoxiao was feeling down, her passport’s status was still unknown to her.
Lu Jiaxin actually knew that Xiaoxiao’s passport was almost ready, but she didn’t tell her and deliberately teased her, “Take this time to study English well, otherwise, when you get abroad, you won’t understand a word of English. If something happens, you won’t know how to deal with it,”
Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
After resting for a while, Lu Jiaxin called Nie Zhan, “I’m back in Hong Kong, now at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.”
Nie Zhan asked anxiously, “Why did you come back to Hong Kong? Didn’t we agree that you would come back at the end of the month?”
Lu Jiaxin said, “You said that Haifan doesn’t admit to taking aunt’s things. I couldn’t reach him on the phone, so I came back because I was worried.”
“Don’t go anywhere in the hotel, I’ll come over to find you in a bit.”
“If you’re busy, just go ahead with your work. The security at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel is fine. Xiaoxiao is with me in the same room, and Gu Wenfeng and Zong Jinghua are next door. Nothing will happen.”
Nie Zhan had an appointment with a customer who was on the road, not a good time to leave, “Then I’ll come over to find you at twelve-thirty.”
“I have a meeting with Su Heyuan at noon to discuss the Qirui matter. Come over after you’re done. Don’t worry, I won’t leave the hotel.”
At noon, Su Heyuan didn’t come because he got along well with an MP and invited them to lunch. His bodyguard informed Lu Jiaxin.
The fruits and desserts she had weren’t filling, so after hanging up the phone, Lu Jiaxin decided to go for lunch. Unexpectedly, when waiting for the elevator, the doors opened to reveal several familiar faces.
Nie Zhan’s heart skipped a beat and asked, “Where are you planning to go?”
“To the restaurant for lunch! Have you eaten yet? If not, let’s go together.” It was only after saying this that Lu Jiaxin remembered Nie Zhan’s concerning expression and added, “Are you so afraid of me going out? Did something happen to the He Family again?”
“Really, I’m not lying to you.”
Lu Jiaxin didn’t press the issue any further, and the two of them headed to the restaurant. Unfamiliar with the place, she ordered a few dishes at random, but they turned out to be quite tasty.
The two sat in a corner where they could talk without being disturbed. After she finished eating, Nie Zhan said, “You need to tell me before you come back next time. You can’t just suddenly show up .”
Knowing she was in the wrong, Lu Jiaxin immediately changed the subject, “How come you’re not at all surprised to see me? Su Heyuan said I look like ‘Black Sister’ when he saw me.”
Nie Zhan knew that women care about their appearance. She could call herself ugly, but a man absolutely must not do that; otherwise, it would be the end: “I think you look quite good.”
“Which looks better, white or black?”
Nie Zhan didn’t shy away from the question, “You are good as you are now, very relaxed, not as uptight as before. I was worried you might collapse someday from the fatigue.”
“Wasn’t it because the college entrance exams were coming up? Of course, I was tense. If I were to play outside every day like now, I wouldn’t be able to get into any university.”
Nie Zhan felt that, given her circumstances, there was no need to worry about the exams. But he didn’t dwell on the topic: “Let’s go, let’s head back to the room.”
