Chapter 593: Chapter 576 Disaster Strikes When the Right Eye Twitches

Lu Jiaxin woke up from her nap and felt her right eyelid twitching. A saying she’d heard before floated through her mind: left eye twitch means wealth, right eye twitch means disaster.

She called Yan Yijun, Qian Xiaoxiao, and Miao Na in and told them, "My right eyelid has been twitching nonstop, I don’t know what kind of disaster might happen. You all should be more vigilant lately."

Miao Na was totally confused: "Boss, what does right eyelid twitching have to do with disaster?"

Qian Xiaoxiao explained the reason to her: "It’s not superstition; it’s a kind of omen for disaster. Sister Xin, don’t worry, we’ll protect you."

Lu Jiaxin told them it was just to make them more cautious during this period and to not let strangers get close to them. Although she always joked about Su Heyuan being superstitious, when it happens to you, it’s better to believe it than not. After all, you only have one life, and you can’t be too careful.

In the evening, when Nie Zhan came home, he found a small piece of red paper stuck on Jiaxin’s right eyelid. Puzzled, he asked, "Why do you have this? Are you trying some ancient style makeup?"

Lu Jiaxin couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "It’s not for ancient style makeup; I wouldn’t put red paper on my eyelid for that. It’s because my right eyelid has been twitching this year. I called Old Master Qian, and he said sticking red paper on the eyelid can ward off bad luck."

Nie Zhan frowned and said, "I remember you said before that left eye twitch means wealth, right eye twitch means disaster. When your left eye twitched, you thought it was a chance to make money and were willing to take risks. Now that your right eye is twitching, could it be a sign of losing money?"

The previous left eye twitching wealth was Lu Jiaxin teasing Nie Zhan, so today with her right eye twitching nonstop, she immediately thought of safety issues and didn’t think about losing money. Nie Zhan’s words reminded her that a right eye twitch might not necessarily mean a life-threatening danger, but a financial one!

Lu Jiaxin asked, "What do you think could be the reason for me losing money?"

Nie Zhan laughed uncontrollably, "I was just kidding, you’re taking it seriously!"

Lu Jiaxin really took it seriously, but she wasn’t blindly superstitious. She hadn’t made any enemies, so the probability of being shot was basically zero; as for kidnapping, she now traveled with three cars every time she went out, with bodyguard cars in front and behind, and her car was bulletproof and shockproof. Kidnappers targeting her meant certain death, so the chance of financial loss was greater.

Seeing her like this, Nie Zhan regretted speaking up.

That night, Lu Jiaxin lay in bed, racking her brain about any major events that might happen this year, but couldn’t figure it out, growing more and more anxious.

Nie Zhan held her hand and said, "I was just talking casually, you’re taking it seriously again. It’s fine, the situation in Hong Kong is stable right now, and the instability overseas has limited impact on us."

Lu Jiaxin said, "You sleep; I’ll go downstairs for a walk."

Nie Zhan didn’t feel at ease letting her go alone, so he accompanied her to walk in the backyard garden. The two of them walked and talked, discussing the company, vacations, the economy, and finally talking about their engagement.

"I heard Master Zhang came back today. I’ll have someone send a visiting card tomorrow. Once he’s free, we’ll go ask him to arrange the engagement’s preliminary ceremony together."

The reason they hadn’t set a date until now was due to Master Zhang being absent. Master Zhang was a trusted person by Old Master Nie, renowned in Hong Kong.

Lu Jiaxin said, "The engagement banquet should be held in the second half of the year, around Mid-Autumn Festival, or if not, New Year’s Day. There’s too much going on at the end of the year, and we’re both very busy, so let’s avoid that, or it will be too exhausting."

"Okay."

They walked in the garden for more than half an hour, and when they returned, seeing that she was still awake, Nie Zhan held her for deeper communication.

Seeing her fall asleep tired, Nie Zhan helplessly said, "You’re all highly educated people, yet one by one, you’re all so superstitious."

Not only Lu Jiaxin, but Zong Shimeng and Hu Zhifeng were also firm believers in this. He didn’t believe it; if the gods and Buddha were truly aware, how could there be so much injustice in the world?

On this topic, Lu Jiaxin and Nie Zhan had no common ground. The next day at work, she called Su Heyuan: "Are you free tonight? I’d like to treat you to dinner."

Su Heyuan joked, "How come you have time to treat me today? Did Nie Zhan make you angry?"

Lu Jiaxin scolded him for being a jinx, "Nie Zhan and I are doing fine! I have something to discuss with you, it’s hard to explain over the phone, so I want to meet and talk over dinner."

"Let’s have Japanese food."

Lu Jiaxin didn’t like Japanese food and refused outright: "Let’s eat at home. By the way, don’t bring your sister-in-law, today’s matter is a bit special and not suitable for too many people to know."

Su Heyuan felt like rushing to her company, but ultimately reason prevailed.

When they met in the evening, Su Heyuan couldn’t wait to ask, "What’s going on? Why can’t you say it over the phone and have to talk face to face?"

Lu Jiaxin said, "My right eye has been twitching today. Isn’t there an old saying that left eye twitch means wealth and right eye twitch means disaster? I wonder what disaster it could mean?"

Su Heyuan immediately straightened up and asked worriedly, "When did it start twitching? Is it frequent?"

Lu Jiaxin mentioned the time, "It started right after I woke up from a nap yesterday, and it was still twitching by noon today. It’s not very frequent, just twitching occasionally." freewёbnoνel-com

"Master Zhang returned the day before yesterday; should we ask him to calculate it for you?"

Lu Jiaxin had no desire to do that, as she had a ready excuse: "I heard that if you frequently have your fortune told, your life becomes thinner the more you calculate it; you shouldn’t keep doing that."

Su Heyuan was taken aback, "Who told you that? I’ve never heard such a saying."

"I can’t tell you who said it, but believe me on this one." Lu Jiaxin said. This saying was from an elder on her grandmother’s side, who was respectfully called Immortal Aunt, a practitioner of feudal superstitions.

Su Heyuan said, "Your right eye keeps twitching; what are you planning to do?"

Lu Jiaxin explained her plan, "I’m not sure if it’s a life-threatening danger or a financial risk. To prevent any life risk, I’ll make sure my bodyguards are always by my side when going out."

After a pause, she added, "I plan to sell both buildings in Diligen and let go of some high-end apartments and residences."

The plot won’t be sold; it will be reserved for future development. Once developed, whether to sell it or keep it for rental will depend on the situation then.

"Diligen is such a prime property. Once sold, you might not be able to buy it back."

Lu Jiaxin smiled, "From the time we bought it till now, the property prices at Diligen have risen 65%, with a 56% profit after interest deductions."

Since last year until now, property prices have been crazily soaring. According to authoritative data, property prices have gone up more than 40% compared to the same period last year. Luxury houses like Diligen with good location and environment have increased even more.

Su Heyuan’s eyes turned red with envy at these figures. In just over half a year, this project could make a ten billion yuan profit just by changing hands. Ah, he’s still too poor; his company is too small to take on such good projects.
