Chapter 325: Jealousy
Chapter 325: Jealousy
Nie Zhan accompanied Lu Jiaxin to her school registration, chatting amicably with her teachers. A female classmate who was also registering stared at him, her face reddening as she asked Lu Jiaxin, "Is that your brother?"
With a smile, Lu Jiaxin replied, "No, he's my boyfriend."
The light in the girl's eyes instantly dimmed.
Seeing her reaction, Lu Jiaxin thought to herself that it was only natural to feel insecure when one's boyfriend was so handsome and wealthy. No wonder Nie Zhan's ex-girlfriend had been so clingy; he was just too popular for his own good.
After finishing the registration and receiving her class schedule, Lu Jiaxin left with Nie Zhan. On their way, another girl approached him to ask for his contact information, causing Lu Jiaxin to frown.
Noticing her expression, Nie Zhan promised to always wear a mask when they went out next time, so that he wouldn't be bothered by people trying to flirt with him. The reason he was surrounded by so many people at school was that his bodyguards hadn't followed him inside; otherwise, they would have stopped anyone from getting too close.
Lu Jiaxin actually found his popularity troublesome, but she deliberately pouted and said, "I wonder why no one ever hits on me? I'm clearly very pretty too!"
In truth, she knew the reason. With a tall and handsome man like Nie Zhan by her side, what guy wouldn't think twice before approaching her? Even if they weren't lovers, they would assume he was her brother. No one dared to flirt with a girl in front of her brother, lest they get a beating.
Hearing her words, Nie Zhan laughed, "You're still too young. You look like you're only sixteen or seventeen, so of course, they don't dare to ask for your contact information."
Lu Jiaxin still needed to buy a vanity table. The bed and wardrobe in the bedroom were usable after a good cleaning, but she didn't like the vanity table and wanted to buy a new one.
Nie Zhan had a lot of work piled up due to his recent vacation, so accompanying her to the registration was already a squeezed-in arrangement. "If there's anything else, just give me a call," he said.
"Okay," Lu Jiaxin agreed.
After buying the vanity table and some other items, Lu Jiaxin was selecting a few more things when someone called out to her. Turning around, she saw that it was Miss Ye. Accompanying Miss Ye was a graceful middle-aged woman in a cheongsam.
Lu Jiaxin nodded politely, "Miss Ye, what a coincidence."
Ye Xin greeted Lu Jiaxin first, then introduced the woman beside her, "Second Sister, this is Miss Lu, the younger sister I mentioned, Su He Yuan's sworn little sister."
Hearing 'sworn little sister,' Ye Erjie looked at Lu Jiaxin with scrutinizing eyes, "Miss Lu is truly beautiful. You're even prettier than many of the female celebrities in my daughter's company."
Lu Jiaxin's smile remained unchanged as she replied, "You flatter me. Miss Ye is the truly beautiful one, and she's a manager at the television station too. Not many people can compare to her."
It was already almost noon, and Ye Xin invited Lu Jiaxin to have lunch together.
Lu Jiaxin politely declined, explaining that she already had plans, "Miss Ye, I've finished shopping, so I'll take my leave first."
Ye Xin looked a bit disappointed but promised to arrange another meeting next time.
After they left, Ye Erjie frowned, "How come I haven't heard that Su He Yuan has a sworn little sister? This whole sworn brother-sister thing, who knows what their relationship really is."
Ye Xin smiled and explained, "Miss Lu is the goddaughter of Su He Yuan's aunt, so she's also his sworn little sister. Second Sister, don't overthink it. Miss Lu already has a boyfriend, and it's Nie Zhan, the third young master of the Wan Sheng Group."
Only then did Ye Erjie relax and smooth out her frown, "Su He Yuan is quite good-looking and capable. With a net worth of over 100 million, you must make sure to capture his heart."
"Rest assured, Second Sister, I won't fight a battle I'm not confident in," Ye Xin assured her.
Upon returning home, Lu Jiaxin called Su He Yuan to ask if he was free that evening, "I just moved into my new place, and I'd like to invite you to dinner."
"We won't eat out. Let's just eat at home."
Su Heyuan agreed and added, "I originally planned to have Japanese food with Xiaoxin tonight, but she has something urgent come up and can't make it. Otherwise, I would have gone to see you."
Listening to the intimacy in his words, Lu Jiaxin felt annoyed. Nie Zhan was really something, always putting her in difficult situations. It would be so much easier if she didn't know about this! Sigh, how should she bring this up later? What a headache.
Soon, Lu Jiaxin put aside her worries and called Gu Zhai, Cui Meili, Su Heyuan, and her family to give them her new phone number.
In the afternoon, as Lu Jiaxin was about to take a nap, Wang Yadan arrived in the latest model BMW. She handed the keys to Lu Jiaxin and said with a smile, "Miss Lu, the boss asked me to bring this car over for you."
The boss must have returned to work, and from the first glance, Wang Yadan knew that he had successfully won over Miss Lu. That's why it's important to go on vacations; they're a great catalyst for romance!
Lu Jiaxin took the keys and said, "You've worked hard. Come in and have a cup of tea."
After sitting down, Wang Yadan looked at Lu Jiaxin's house with a hint of envy in her eyes. When would she be able to live in such a luxurious mansion?
Lu Jiaxin didn't offer her tea but instead made her a cup of coffee.
Wang Yadan thanked her and then congratulated her, "Miss Lu, congratulations! You and our boss are truly a match made in heaven."
"How did you know?" Lu Jiaxin asked.
Wang Yadan covered her mouth and laughed, "When the boss returned to the company, his happy expression said it all. Miss Lu, people used to suspect that our boss preferred men because he never showed interest in women. But now, no one doubts him anymore."
Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin couldn't help but laugh as well.
Wang Yadan was very good at conversation, and the two women chatted happily until a phone call from Nie Zhan interrupted them.
Lu Jiaxin answered the phone with a beaming smile, "The car is so beautiful, I really like it. Thank you!"
After hanging up, Wang Yadan stood up and said, "Miss Lu, there's still a lot of work at the company, so I should head back."
It was work hours, and Lu Jiaxin didn't detain her, but she did invite Wang Yadan to come over to her place on Sunday. Although it was a rented house, she wanted to invite her friends over, so they could get to know each other and also learn their way around. Besides, she had returned quite late, and time was of the essence.
How could the future boss's wife refuse such an invitation? On her way back, Wang Yadan was already thinking about what gift to bring.
After her nap, Lu Jiaxin had an interview with Zhang SiNing, who had applied for the secretary position.
Miss Zhang was dressed in a gray business suit, and although her looks were not outstanding, there was a comforting aura about her. Lu Jiaxin noticed that she looked even thinner in person than in the photo on her resume.
Zhang SiNing had known what Lu Jiaxin looked like before coming, as her photos had appeared in magazines and newspapers a few times. However, meeting her in person was still a surprise. The published photos were already beautiful, but the real Lu Jiaxin was even more so, and it was no wonder that the Third Young Master Nie had pursued her so passionately.
Lu Jiaxin asked, "I saw on your resume that you're married with two children. This job will require frequent business trips. Can you handle that?"
There might not be many trips now, but once the company was up and running, there would surely be more. Due to the nature of her work, Lu Jiaxin anticipated frequent travel abroad.
Zhang SiNing assured her that it wouldn't be a problem, "My eldest is four years old, and the younger one is two. They're both in kindergarten. I have my parents and husband at home, so going on business trips won't be an issue."
Instead of slackening off after having children, Zhang SiNing had continued to improve herself.
