Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire-Chapter 165 - 155 Heading to Hong Kong
Chapter 165: Chapter 155 Heading to Hong Kong Chapter 165 -155 Heading to Hong Kong Lu Jiaxin didn’t say a word to Lu Hongjun and turned to enter the room.
Lu Jiaguang was also very angry and said, “Third Uncle, if the Ding Family comes to the Forty-nine City and it’s really orchestrated by Ding Jing behind the scenes, will you still cover for her?”
Lu Hongjun repeated the same sentence, it’s impossible, “Your Aunt Ding is not that kind of person.”
He knew there was an irreconcilable conflict between Lu Jiaxin and Ding Jing, but having been married to her for five years, he understood her well. Ding Jing wouldn’t do something that harms others without benefiting herself.
Lu Jiaguang was so furious he didn’t want to speak to him and went back to work.
After entering the room, Lu Jiaxin made a phone call to Gu Xiuxiu, which was quickly connected. She said, “Aunt, you helped me with all the procedures the day before yesterday. As long as I come over, I can get my ID card made. I plan to come over tomorrow and get the ID card done.”
All the necessary documents were ready, just waiting for Lu Jiaxin to arrive. The individual must be present in person to process the ID card; no one else could do it on their behalf.
Gu Xiuxiu, noticing the low tone of her voice, asked with concern, “Didn’t you say last time that you would wait until next month to come over? What happened?”
Lu Jiaxin was not one to hide her troubles, so she told her about Ding Tangping’s visit, “I’ve already asked my elder brother to look into it. Although there’s no lead yet, I feel it’s the mischief of Ding Jing. That woman just can’t stand to see me doing well.”
Gu Xiuxiu furrowed her brows and said, “Jiaxin, she has your father’s protection, and it won’t be easy for you to deal with her. How about this, after you get your ID card, just stay in Hong Kong and don’t go back.”
How could Lu Jiaxin possibly not return, “Aunt, this time I will come back after getting my ID card done, and once I’ve dealt with things here, then I’ll go to Hong Kong.”
She was not yet of age, and Lu Hongjun was her guardian. If she didn’t secure the Hong Kong ID card and Lu Hongjun, in his irritation, didn’t allow her to go to Hong Kong, she would be incredibly frustrated. However, once she had the ID card, her guardian would become her aunt, and Lu Hongjun wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.
Gu Xiuxiu, as astute as she was, immediately realized that her hurry to return after getting her ID card was to confront Ding Jing. “Jiaxin, she’s your stepmother, and with your father protecting her, you’ll be at a loss if you confront her head-on. You know, there are many ways to deal with a person.”
Lu Jiaxin didn’t go into details, only saying that she would take care of herself.
Without dissuading her, Gu Xiuxiu only said, “When you get to Hong Kong, first come and stay with me for a night. Even if you want revenge, there’s no need to rush it.”
“Okay.”

About half an hour later, He Bin called Lu Jiaxin, informing her that he had booked her flight ticket for nine o’clock the next morning. A car would pick her up at seven in the morning, and the driver would give her the ticket. Upon arrival in Yangcheng City, someone would pick her up from the airport and take her to Hong Kong.
Lu Jiaxin thought he was quite capable, having arranged everything in such a short time, “Thank you, Secretary He.”
Secretary He said with a laugh, “Miss Cousin, there’s no need to be so formal. All these arrangements were ordered by the old lady.”
His last stay in the Forty-nine City at the Friendship Hotel had allowed him to make some acquaintances. This time, he had also relied on the help of the Friendship Hotel to buy the ticket, and the car had been dispatched by the hotel as well.
When he got home from work, Lu Jiaguang’s brows were still furrowed.
Seeing his expression, Wang Xiaojie persuaded him, “Don’t be angry anymore. Third Uncle has always been biased towards that mother and daughter, and this isn’t the first time we’ve known that. Come on, hurry up and wash your hands for dinner.”
Lu Jiaguang had no appetite at the moment but still went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes and called Lu Zhang and Lu Zhenzhen, who were doing their homework, to come out and eat.
After dinner, the two children went downstairs to play, and Lu Jiaguang said, “Jiaxin is behaving very unusually this time. With her temperament, she would normally have made a scene with Third Uncle, but this time she didn’t say a word to him. She also seemed very composed.”
Wang Xiaojie could understand, “He must have been really upset. Ah, this child… Don’t worry about it anymore, I’ll go over tomorrow and have a good talk with her.”
After Lu Jiaguang grunted in response, his expression turned somewhat gloomy, “With the way Third Uncle is, after Jiaxin goes to study in Hong Kong, there’s a high chance she won’t come back.”
But Wang Xiaojie disagreed, “Third Aunt is still here, and Jiaxin is so filial, she’s bound to come back for Qingming to visit her grave.”
Lu Jiaguang didn’t say anything, looking dejected.
The next day at noon, Wang Xiaojie went to Radiance Road to find Lu Jiaxin, only to discover that General Tie had left the gate unattended and there was no one at home. She didn’t think much of it, knowing that Lu Jiaxin occasionally had to check on the clothing store on Xiushui Street or go out to get supplies. It was her own fault for not giving advance notice before coming.
Wang Xiaojie didn’t head to Xiushui Street as the round trip didn’t leave enough time, and so she went back after finishing work in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, she still couldn’t find Lu Jiaxin after getting off work.
Second Sister-in-law Lu said, “Elder Sister, Jiaxin went out early in the morning and won’t be back until the day after tomorrow.”
Wang Xiaojie was shocked, “Where did she go, why for so long?”
“To Hong Kong. Madam Guh called yesterday, asking her to go to Hong Kong to get an identification card. Jiaxin was worried about delaying things, so she left early this morning.”
Previously, when Lu Jiaxin went to the Ancient Capital, it was Lu Jiaguang who bought the tickets. But last night, her husband was so anxious that he didn’t even mention it, indicating that he didn’t know about this either.
Wang Xiaojie was startled and asked, “How did she get there?”
Second Sister-in-law Lu really didn’t know. After setting up her stall, she went over to the Xiushui Street area and was too busy to ask much, “Didn’t she take the train there?”
“And Xiaoxiao?”
“She’s at Xiushui Street, said she had the night shift for the next two nights since there’s nothing going on. Elder Sister, what’s wrong?”
Wang Xiaojie, still worried, went straight to Xiushui Street to look for Qian Xiaoxiao, and from her, she learned that Lu Jiaxin had gone by plane. The plane ticket was purchased by someone Madam Guh had sent, who also arranged for someone to meet Lu Jiaxin at the airport.
Qian Xiaoxiao said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Elder Sister, Madam Guh has arranged everything. Once she’s in Hong Kong, Madam Guh will take good care of Sister Xin.”
Wang Xiaojie still felt the timing was too coincidental, with the dispute happening yesterday and Lu Jiaxin heading to Hong Kong today. She felt an uneasy feeling lurking in her heart and asked, “Did Jiaxin say anything before she left?”
Qian Xiaoxiao replied, “Sister Xin said she would be back the day after tomorrow, and she also mentioned that there are many snacks in Hong Kong. She might get a chance to try them this time.”
“Jiaxin really said that?”
Laughing, Qian Xiaoxiao said, “Elder Sister, I’ve never been to Hong Kong and I don’t know anyone there. If Sister Xin hadn’t told me, I would have thought that people in Hong Kong were like foreigners, just eating milk and bread all the time.”
“So, you’re saying she was happy when she left?”
“Quite happy,” Qian Xiaoxiao said. In reality, that wasn’t the case; from last night through this morning, because of her bad mood, Lu Jiaxin had been keeping a straight face. It was only that she held grievances against the Lu family members and didn’t want them to know Lu Jiaxin’s true feelings.
If they truly wanted to support Sister Xin, they should have gone to the family compound to settle the score with Ding Jing, instead of just coming to see Sister Xin. It was obvious they were there to persuade Sister Xin not to act impulsively; in the end, these people still didn’t want to offend Lu Hongjun, not wanting to lose this powerful backer.
Sister Xin must have understood this, which is probably why she wanted to get the Hong Kong identification card as soon as possible and then leave this place.
