Chapter 1385 Getting Along Very Well
Cui Wenfang frowned. "Yiwen, are we Chinese or Thai citizens? Can we buy a house in China?"
Liu Meilan replied, "Yes, you can buy it with your passport!"
“Okay, I’ll go buy a house after I’ve had a good rest tomorrow,” Lu Yiwen replied. “I’m very optimistic about the development of China.”
"Dad, you really don't need to buy me a house." Hu Jian was anxious, sweat beading on his forehead, and his tone became increasingly sincere. "Before you came, Xiufang and I had already discussed it. We only acknowledge kinship and don't involve property. I acknowledge the kindness you showed me by giving birth to me, and I will repay you in the future. But I didn't grow up by your side, nor did I take care of you for a single day. I wouldn't feel at ease taking your property. Your and Mom's property is what you earned through a lifetime of hard work away from home. My sister is already married and received part of her dowry, but there are still two younger brothers who need to study, get married, and start their own families. There will be many expenses in the future."
When Lu Yiwen and Cui Wenfang heard Hu Jian say this, their eyes instantly reddened again. "Hu Jian, your mother gave birth to you, but also lost you and didn't raise you. Now we want to make it up to you, but you don't want it. Your father and I feel guilty and can't rest easy."
Lu Jingzong quickly added, "Brother, just take what Mom and Dad gave you. My brother and I will have our own in the future. Besides, if we study hard, we'll be able to support ourselves."
Lu Qinqin quickly added, "Big brother, I know you're doing this because you're worried we'll hate you for fighting over the inheritance. You don't need to think that way. Our parents have the right to distribute their property as they see fit. They raised us, gave me and my two younger brothers a decent life, and provided the best education—that's the best arrangement for us. If you don't accept it, Mom and Dad will feel even more guilty."
Hu Jian was in a dilemma. He originally didn't want it, but now he insisted on giving it to him, and his younger siblings also agreed.
At this moment, Zhang Xiufang stood up and said with a smile, "Hu Jian, since your parents, younger brother and sister have all said so, please don't refuse. Otherwise, your parents will feel uneasy. If your parents are willing to come back to live out their old age in the future, we will take care of them."
Cui Wenfang and Lu Yiwen were both taken aback, then smiled, their eyes reddening as they looked at Hu Jian expectantly.
Hu Jian nodded, "Thank you, Mom and Dad, and thank you to my younger brother and sister."
Zhang Xiufang laughed heartily, "Alright, we're all family now, no need to be so polite. Come on, everyone, don't stand, sit down. The water's boiled, I'll make some tea."
Everyone took their seats and drank the tea brewed by Zhang Xiufang.
For dinner, Zhang Xiufang planned to cook at home, so she called her bodyguard and asked him to go to the market to buy groceries.
Liu Meilan and Lu Qinqin came over to help, and they cooked together, chatting happily.
"President Liu, I didn't expect you to be a shareholder of Dafu Jewelry and Seven White Pearls?" Lu Qinqin's eyes lit up with surprise. "Both of these brands are represented by the Ye family. They are very high-end products in Thailand and are no worse than those big foreign brands."
"Really?" Liu Meilan smiled. "Qingqing, we're friends, not business partners. Don't be so polite, just call me by my name."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you." Lu Qinqin smiled broadly. She was a very intelligent woman and was willing to make friends with intelligent women. "Meilan, I'm really happy to be your friend!"
Liu Meilan smiled, "Me too! When it comes to evaluating Tai Fook Jewellery and the Seven White Pearl series, we must tell the truth, as this is very important for us to expand into overseas markets!"
“Of course I’m telling the truth!” Lu Qinqin nodded. “At first, many people didn’t have a high level of recognition for these two brands, after all, everyone was chasing after European and American brands! But the products are really excellent. Some people tried using some and found that the materials, craftsmanship, and designs of the jewelry were very innovative. Although the prices are also high, they are not as high as European and American brands, so now they have become affordable luxury products for many white-collar workers!”
"As for the Seven White Pearl series, the price is similar to that of big brands in Europe and America! It originated from Hong Kong Island, because Hong Kong Island and Thailand have very close ties, and many people have businesses in both places. When the skin of wealthy women in Hong Kong improved, everyone assumed it was due to some good beauty treatments or plastic surgery! In the end, they found out it wasn't plastic surgery, but rather the use of the Seven White Pearl series of skincare products, and that's how it spread from the upper-class social circles. If you use these products consistently, you'll see results quickly, and they're really effective at improving skin and removing wrinkles!"
"With my current income, I wouldn't dare buy it. My mother-in-law bought it for me as a gift, so I'm willing to use it! The advertisements in Thailand say it's a royal secret formula, a mysterious beauty secret from China, and many people believe it!"
Liu Meilan smiled sweetly, "I'll cover all the Seven White Pearl skincare products you use from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qinqin quickly waved her hand and shook her head, "It's too precious, I can't accept it!"
"Take good care of your skin, consider it free advertising for me!" Liu Meilan laughed. "We've known each other for a while now, consider this my gift to you!"
Lu Qinqin was truly touched. Liu Meilan lacked nothing, so she wanted to give her some of the things the Karu family ran. "Thank you, Meilan! When I get back, I'll find some jadeite rough stones and give them to you and your sister-in-law!"
It is given to Liu Meilan, and also to my sister-in-law, because Liu Meilan was so polite to her, and because of my sister-in-law.
"Okay, I won't stand on ceremony. Give it to me, I'll take it!" Zhang Xiufang laughed. "Qinqin, when you have holidays, come over with your brother-in-law and the kids! The scenery is different everywhere, from east to west, in the southeast and northeast! If you want to ski, you can go to the northeast. I guarantee you'll see beautiful, thick snow!"
"Okay, sister-in-law!" Lu Qinqin thanked her. "We'll come whenever we have time. We also want to experience the development of China!"
Dinner was light but plentiful. Although it wasn't as elaborate as lunch, the home-style flavors made it more comforting.
After dinner, Hu Jian escorted his parents back to their hotel.
Zhang Xiufang and Liu Meilan brought the children downstairs to see them off.
Seeing them leave, Zhang Xiufang breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm so happy for Fujian!"
Liu Meilan also remarked, "Although my research on their work style indicated they were quite good, we hadn't actually spent any time together. Even though we haven't known each other for long, as long as there's sincerity, nothing else matters!"
“Yes!” Zhang Xiufang wholeheartedly agreed. “It’s good that we have so many more relatives; it’ll be even more lively in the future! Xiaoli, you can stay here. Chongyang, you have a lot of schoolwork to do, so go back with your Aunt Meilan!”
Xu Chongyang nodded, "Okay! Mom, don't work too hard, take good care of yourself and your sister!"
"Okay!" Zhang Xiufang nodded and patted her son's head. "Study hard and make progress every day!"
Xu Chongyang was very confident, "I will, Mom! I will become a great person and support you! You can rely on me in the future!"
