Chapter 387: Chapter 376 Hang Seng Index Options Contract Chapter 387: Chapter 376 Hang Seng Index Options Contract Lu Jiaxin returned home on Friday and saw Guh Haifan waiting for her in the living room. After Guh Xiuxiu left for the Mainland, he had moved in to live with Lu Jiaxin. As for the Guh Residence, only two people were left to look after it and clean.

Guh Haifan asked Lu Jiaxin, “Cousin, I called Aunt Mei today, and she didn’t recognize me again. Cousin, I miss Aunt Mei.”

Upon hearing this, immediately Lu Jiaxin said, “Then you fly to see her tomorrow, and come back on Monday. I’ll ask for leave from your teacher on Monday morning.”

Guh Haifan hesitated but still shook his head; he didn’t want to fall behind on his schoolwork, “Cousin, I’ll go see Aunt Mei during the vacation.”

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, “You’re keeping up with your studies now, and you can stay there over the summer vacation to keep Aunt Mei company. If you want to learn more, you can hire a tutor. the Forty-nine City has many excellent teachers.”

“That must be very expensive, right?”

After moving in with Lu Jiaxin, Guh Haifan had been carefully minding his every action, and she had been looking for an opportunity to talk to him about it. She had been very busy lately, and she did not want to add to his burden by being too deliberate. Possibly because of his experiences when he was younger, the child thought more deeply about things.

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, “You don’t need to worry about this; these expenses will be covered by the education fund your aunt set up for you.”

Guh Haifan fell silent for a moment and then said, “Aunt Mei said you give Aunt Mei a living expense of one hundred and fifty thousand every month. Cousin, I’m sorry for making things so hard for you.”

Lu Jiaxin looked at Guh Haifan, who had grown as tall as her chin and was already a young man, and smiled as she said, “You asked me before if Aunt Mei had given me anything, and I told you she hadn’t.”

Guh Haifan nodded. After moving back to the Guh Residence when the finances weren’t so ample, he had regretted more than once that if he hadn’t been trapped by their words, Aunt Mei wouldn’t have ended up being unable to afford even imported fruits.

Lu Jiaxin said, “Aunt Mei didn’t give me anything, but she entrusted me with thirty million of her private savings. So it’s not me supporting you; it’s your aunt who’s supporting you.”

Guh Haifan was stunned.

Lu Jiaxin felt that he had been through so much and had already grown mature, so she didn’t beat around the bush, “I didn’t tell you at the time because you were still young and inexperienced. The He Family were only interested in money, not ashamed to act without limits, and it was best for you not to know.”

Thinking of how easily he had been tricked by them, Guh Haifan couldn’t help but blame himself again, “If only I hadn’t told them at the time.”

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, “The He Family members are all cunning, and you were young and honest, how could you outwit them? And they roughly knew what things Aunt had, so even if you hadn’t told them, it wouldn’t have taken them long to find out.”

With those words, Guh Haifan felt much better, “Thank you, Cousin.”

Lu Jiaxin continued, “You don’t need to worry about Aunt Mei’s living and medical expenses. I will invest that thirty million, money will generate money, and she won’t run out of it even if she lives to be one hundred. What you need to do is study hard, make something of yourself in the future, and that’s how you can live up to your aunt’s nurturing. When you have time in the future, you should spend more time with her.”

What she could do was to ensure a worry-free life for Guh Xiuxiu in her old age; the rest, she had to let go. Thus, Guh Xiuxiu’s wish to have her children and grandchildren around her would have to be fulfilled by Guh Haifan alone.

Guh Haifan nodded firmly.

Lu Jiaxin asked, “What do you want to do in the future?”

Without hesitation, Guh Haifan said he wanted to be a doctor, speaking in a somewhat somber tone, “My parents both passed away from illness, and Aunt Mei is like this too. When I become a doctor in the future, I will be able to help more sick people.”

Lu Jiaxin fell into silence. She did not know what diseases Guh Haifan’s parents had exactly, but she knew that the Mainland had always lacked sufficient medical care, and along with poverty, people who were sick often endured on their own. By the time they couldn’t bear it anymore and went to the hospital, it was usually too late. She found the reality too cruel to mention.

The child is intelligent, and if she is determined to study medicine, she could truly help many more people. Lu Jiaxin said, “If you want to be a doctor, then aim for Harvard University’s Medical School. It’s one of the world’s top medical schools. Great teachers train great students, and there you can learn the most advanced medical techniques to save even more people.”

Guh Haifan had already inquired about it and was determined to get into Harvard Medical School.

The next day, Lu Jiaxin went to play tennis with Nie Zhan, having already arranged the location.

On the way there, Nie Zhan mentioned to Lu Jiaxin, “Hang Seng Index options will start trading on Monday. Are you interested?”

Lu Jiaxin was certainly interested and said, “The money you transferred to me hasn’t been touched yet; I’ll use half of it to buy the options.”

In the eighties, she was only aware of major events like the Plaza Accord and Black Monday, but she had no other recollection at the moment. However, she had studied finance for a year, and the Hong Kong economy was also in a rapid development phase for the next twenty years, so the Hang Seng Index would definitely keep rising. Knowing the major trend and avoiding high leverage made it easy to make money.

Nie Zhan asked, “Do you want me to buy it for you?”

Lu Jiaxin shook her head, “No need, I’ll ask Sun Wushuang or Wu Ziyue to do it.”

She planned to hire an economic advisor for future financial consulting. Nie Zhan was an expert in this field as well but he was very busy, and it’s not like they could talk about stocks and international situations all the time when on a date! If this continued for long, they would not seem like a couple, but more like business partners.

“Let me know if you need anything.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t be shy about it,” Lu Jiaxin said with a smile.

Hiring an economic advisor was just the first step; next, she wanted to create her own investment team.

When the two arrived at the tennis court and sat down to rest after half an hour, the assistant Wang Shi approached, “Boss, the chairman called just now and said you need to go to Australia immediately.”

He was frustrated; every time his boss had a date with Miss Lu, something would come up.

Lu Jiaxin drank her water and said nothing. Nie Zhan had promised her, arranging a party at the villa the next day, and planned to introduce her to his friends. Now, it seemed it was all going to fall through. Once again, there were numerous matters concerning the Nie Family.

Nie Zhan stood to call Old Master Nie and returned with a grim look on his face. “Jiaxin, I’m sorry, I have to go to Australia today, and I have to cancel tomorrow’s gathering.”

Lu Jiaxin asked, “What happened?”

Nie Zhan fell silent for a moment before saying, “On the phone, my grandfather said, my mom was sent to the hospital covered in injuries. He’s worried and wants me to go there.”

He had thought that if it were something concerning Nie Corporation, he would refuse, but he never expected an emergency on the Australian side.

Lu Jiaxin frowned and asked, “Is it an accident or was it done intentionally?”

Nie Zhan didn’t know, “My grandfather didn’t say on the phone, just that I need to get there quickly.”

No matter the reason, as a son, he definitely had to go. Lu Jiaxin said, “Then you should hurry, Sister Dan is here to keep me company, that’s enough.”

When Wang Yadan heard her speak up, she immediately said, “Don’t worry, boss, I will make sure to get Miss Lu home safe and sound.”
