Chapter 577 - 560: Nie Manlin Gives Birth to a Daughter
Lu Jiaxin had arranged with Nie Zhan to go horseback riding over the weekend, but on Friday she received a call saying Nie Manlin’s situation had worsened. Old Master Nie called and asked Nie Zhan to go to Switzerland immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Nie Zhan leaned against the headboard for a long while before calling his secretary to book the earliest flight to Switzerland for the next day. He didn’t want to go at all, but firstly, giving birth was very dangerous; secondly, since the call came from Old Master Nie, he couldn’t expect a seventy-year-old man to make the trip.
Seeing his somber face, Lu Jiaxin consoled him, "You should still go and take a look. Once she safely delivers the child, you can come back."
It was a good thing the Nie family was wealthy, providing monthly allowances to family members. Otherwise, with Nie Manlin’s qualities, Nie Zhan would have had to support her child as well. But thinking of the man Nie Manlin later got involved with, she knew he was no simple character; he was calculating and capable.
Lu Jiaxin said, "That man is no good. Ah Zhan, you must be careful for your safety on this trip to Switzerland."
As Nie Zhan looked at her, Lu Jiaxin said, "You haven’t made a will, and if something happens to you, your mom would be the primary beneficiary."
It was the same for her; if she hadn’t made a will, then Lu Hongjun would be the primary beneficiary. The prospect of tenfold profits could drive people crazy, and such a fortune worth several billion was enough for some to take the risk.
Nie Zhan touched her head and said, "Don’t worry, I will be careful. If he really harbors such thoughts, I will make him realize that living is ten thousand times more painful than death."
Early the next morning, Nie Zhan left. Lu Jiaxin, because it was the weekend, slept in until eight o’clock before getting up, and the first thing she did was go to the garden to pick flowers.
