Chapter 640: Arrogance
The two of them left the hospital and took a car home.
Nie Jingwen hesitated and said, "Grandpa, he and his sister-in-law don't look like father and daughter at all."
"Why not?"
Nie Jingwen found that Lu Hongjun always catered to Grandpa Nie when talking to him, with a hint of flattery. But Lu Jiaxin was different. She was not afraid at all when facing her grandfather.
Grandpa Nie said, "What flattery? That's because people respect me. But Lu Hongjun can't teach such an excellent child like Jiaxin. This girl is so excellent, she must look like her mother."
Although some people secretly said that Nie Zhan was afraid of his wife, Grandpa Nie thought that these people were just saying that grapes were sour because they couldn't eat them. If his grandson could find such a good granddaughter-in-law, he must be holding her in his hands.
Nie Jingwen thought about the children in his family and felt that he had a long way to go.
Zhang Lanlan decided on the dishes for the engagement banquet in the afternoon, so she didn't go. In the evening, the couple talked about Lu Hongjun. She asked curiously, "My third sister-in-law is only 21 years old this year, and Uncle Lu is 62 years old this year. That means he gave birth to Jiaxin when he was 41 years old. Why did he give birth to a child so late? And he only gave birth to a sister-in-law."
Nie Jingwen really knew this: "I heard that Uncle Lu was injured in the war. The doctor said that it would be difficult for him to have children in this life. It would be a miracle to have a sister-in-law."
Zhang Lanlan asked in confusion, "It's so hard for a child to come. Usually, he is pampered. Why is the relationship between father and daughter so bad?"
She didn't ask about the relationship between father and daughter, but Lu Jiaxin was doing so well but didn't bring her old father to Gangcheng to enjoy the good life. Now she was about to get engaged and finally sent him to the hospital. All signs show that the relationship between father and daughter is very bad, probably just a little better than the relationship between A Zhan and 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 engagement banquet.
The guest list for the engagement banquet was drawn up by Nie Jingwen, and the guests that Nie Zhan and Lu Jiaxin wanted to invite were drawn up by themselves. According to the confirmed list, 25 tables were reserved, 20 tables for the Nie family and Nie Zhan, and 5 tables for Lu Jiaxin.
Feeling that the difference in the number of people between the two families was too great, Zhang Lanlan specifically told Lu Jiaxin about it, but she didn't expect that she didn't care at all. But thinking of Lu Jiaxin's wealth, it was true that she didn't need the number of people to fill her face.
Zhang Lanlan thought of the news she had received and said, "Jingwen, have you heard about the acquisition of Yu's cosmetics company by your sister-in-law? This cosmetics business is not easy to do."
Nie Jingwen got the news as soon as possible, but he was not surprised: "Two years ago, I had dinner with A Zhan and joked that they were involved in clothing, jewelry, and film and television, so why didn't they open a cosmetics company. A Zhan said it was not the right time yet."
"Why did you say it was not the right time?"
Nie Jingwen shook his head: "I guess my sister-in-law didn't let me say it, so it was hard to tell me. In any case, his career is thriving now, which is also good for us."
Zhang Lanlan didn't say anything. When the family property was divided, she thought that the real estate company was better than the bank. But grandpa said that her husband was good at maintaining the status quo but not at expanding, and the bank was more suitable for him. At first, she saw that Nie Zhan did not make any moves after taking over the company, and she thought that the old man had made a mistake. Later, she was stimulated and admitted that the old man was right. It’s just that the gap between the two brothers is getting bigger and bigger now, and sometimes they get anxious.
Throwing away the thoughts in her mind, Zhang Lanlan asked: "There are still three days before the engagement banquet. Whether the aunt will come back or not, there should be a definite answer now, right?"
Nie Jingwen shook his head and said he would not come back: "A Zhan didn't want her to come back, and grandpa scolded him for this. I didn't expect that grandpa called yesterday, and the aunt said that the child was not feeling well these two days and would not come back."
Zhang Lanlan thought it was better not to come back. If she said something unpleasant at the engagement banquet, her sister-in-law would definitely turn against her. She had no objection to Lu Jiaxin. She had a bad temper, and she had the capital.
Lu Jiaxin arranged all the things at hand and started to busy herself with her engagement banquet. In fact, Zhang Lanlan had arranged everything. She just needed to verify that there would be no mistakes.
Two days before the engagement, Mrs. Lu brought Lu An and Lu Shan here. This time, Lu Ping went to pick them up. As for Lu Hongjun, he was still doing rehabilitation training in the hospital.
Few men don't love cars. Lu An is more outgoing. When he saw that the car that came to pick them up was a Mercedes-Benz, he exclaimed: "These two cars are much more beautiful than the Crown in Sijiu City."
Lu Ping said: "These are the cars used by the bodyguards and helpers at home. The cars used by my aunt and uncle themselves are not only more beautiful than these two, but also have better performance."
Lu An looked at him and asked: "You mean, my aunt and uncle have several cars."
Lu Ping said: "Not several, but more than 20. But half of them are antique cars collected by my uncle, which can only be admired and not driven."
When I got here, I really felt the arrogance of my aunt. Not to mention the house and luxury cars, my uncle was different in the hospital from the mainland. The meticulous service and treatment, this is not a hospital, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a sanatorium for senior cadres. It was only after talking to the nurse that he learned that his uncle's hospitalization cost several thousand yuan a day.
Knowing that Lu An wanted to see luxury cars, Wang Lin deliberately parked the car in the underground garage. Normal cars were parked in the yard during the day.
When he arrived at the underground garage and saw a row of parked cars, Lu An's eyes were straight.
Although Sister Lu didn't know much about cars, she knew that these cars were worth a lot of money by looking at their appearance. She habitually asked: "How much does this cost?"
Lu An likes cars and knows about them: "These cars must add up to more than 10 million. Mom, my aunt is so lucky. She can change different cars every day."
Wang Lin interjected: "For the boss, a car is just a means of transportation. It only needs to be good and safe. Mr. Nie likes cars very much, and all the cars parked here are his."
What was not mentioned was that his boss liked watches and collected quite a few. Watches are small and do not take up space, but unfortunately they cost as much money as luxury cars.
The only person who was relatively calm at the scene was Lu Shan, after all, he had seen it before.
After seeing the car, the group went up. Lu Jiaxin had gone out for something and had not returned yet, so the housekeeper settled them first.
There are three guest rooms on the first floor. Thinking that Mrs. Lu is old, she was allowed to live on the first floor. Lu Shan and Lu An were arranged to live on the third floor, where young men could easily climb the stairs.
After putting down everything, housekeeper Meng took them to visit the villa. Except for the second floor, they went to see other places. The second floor is where Lu Jiaxin and Nie Zhan live, so they can't go there.
After seeing the interior of the villa, they went to the back garden. The back garden not only has a large flowerbed, but also a swimming pool and a tennis court. The swimming pool was originally there, and the tennis court was added later, so the two of them could play a game when they had nothing to do.
After the visit, everyone had the same thought in their mind: Jiaxin (Aunt) is really rich!
