Lu Jiaxin was stunned for a moment, and she never thought that this was the reason why she was asked to come. She thought for a moment and shook her head and said, "My grandmother died of illness a long time ago. My mother rarely mentioned her. The few times she mentioned her, she said that she had a miserable life, and never said that she had any sisters or brothers."

The original grandmother had a very hard life. Ding's father was the son of the village chief. She had chosen a man, but Ding's father forced her to marry him because she was beautiful. After marrying her home, she treated her well, but her mother-in-law was mean and asked her to cook for the whole family on the third day after she gave birth to a daughter. Because she worked without taking good care of her body, she fell ill. Later, she got pregnant with three babies but they were not stable. She was not well-nourished and had miscarriages all the time, which led to her death before she was 30 years old. The daughter-in-law that Ding's father married later was fierce and domineering. There were often fights between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Once, the two of them fought and Mrs. Ding fell and hit her head and died. It can be said that evil pays off.

When Ding Xiaoxia was twelve years old, her stepmother had an argument with Ding's father and beat her half to death after she lost. That day, Ding's father scolded her stepmother and said that if she beat her to death, she would not receive any betrothal gifts. His daughter looked like her mother and was pretty, so she would definitely be able to get a generous betrothal gift in the future.

Ding Xiaoxia was completely chilled to the bone when she heard this, and she ran away before her wounds had healed. On the way, she fainted due to exhaustion and was rescued by several cadres who were going to the countryside to promote new ideas.

Fearing that they would send her back, Ding Xiaoxia pretended to be mute. The officials could not get anything out of her, so they arranged for her to help in the orphanage. Later, they found out that she could read and patiently questioned her. After learning about her experience, they felt sympathetic and re-registered her. Because she was smart and learned quickly, she was later sent to the city of Beijing for further studies, and then she was kept there for her excellent grades.

Because she hated the Ding family, Ding Xiaoxia didn't go back until after she got married. Of course, she didn't go back to recognize her relatives, but to visit Gu Lanlan's grave and let her meet Lu Hongjun.

The Ding family knew that she had become rich and wanted her to arrange jobs for her two younger brothers and to take care of her in her old age, but Ding Xiaoxia never responded. At that time, you couldn't leave the county without a letter of introduction. Lu Hongjun found the brigade secretary, and the Ding family wanted to go to the city to make trouble, but it was unavailable. As for the phone, how could a few ordinary people get the phone number of their unit?

Su Hongying said, "Your grandmother had five siblings, but your great-grandfather was tricked into becoming addicted to drugs. Except for your great uncle, everyone else was sold out by him."

Lu Jiaxin was extremely shocked: "Sold it?"

A few months ago, I got rid of a gambler named Sun Xun who wanted to sell his own child. I never dreamed that my great-grandfather was actually a drug addict who sold his wife and children in order to get high.

Su Hongying said, "Your aunt's name is Gu Xiuxiu. She later married a wealthy man in Hong Kong. She has no children. Her adopted daughter was blinded by love and betrayed her. Now she is in a very bad condition."

"So she came back to look for her relatives?"

Su Hongying shook her head and said, "No, she's not in good health right now. It was Su Heyuan who saw a photo of her when she was young published in the newspaper and thought she looked a lot like you, so he asked around. I didn't expect that you two were actually relatives."

Lu Jiaxin said, why would he suddenly come to find me after decades? Even if I want to find a relative, I should look for someone with the surname Gu.

Seeing that she was indifferent, Su Hongying asked, "Jia Xin, Ms. Gu has a net worth of hundreds of millions, and she has no children. If you can be with her, all this property will be yours in the future."

The word "non" is missing in this wealth of hundreds of millions. Is it cash, or stocks, real estate and jewelry? Of course, not to mention the mainland, it is a huge sum even for people in Hong Kong.

Lu Jiaxin didn't take it to heart: "It's not a good deal if you rush to ask for it. No one comes to me. If I go up to them, Ms. Gu might think I have ulterior motives. Also, I like to spend my own money, and I don't dare to take other people's money. Even if I get it, I may not live to spend it."

Su Hongying was a little surprised. This girl was so insightful. The accident really changed her completely.

After thinking for a while, Su Hongying looked at her and said, "Your father and your elder brother probably want you to graduate from college and become an official. But I think your personality is not suitable for a career in the government."

Lu Jiaxin was originally very smart, but she was young and didn't know how evil people were. Now she doesn't have this shortcoming anymore, and even her husband wants her to enter the economic system after graduating from university. Lu Hongjun must have also made this plan.

"Being an official? I'm not suited to this." Lu Jiaxin said without thinking. There are too many rules and regulations in public institutions. This is not allowed and that is not allowed.

It is right to impose strict requirements on public officials, but she can't stand being constrained. She is lazy and enjoys life. She likes to wear beautiful clothes and jewelry, and she also loves to eat delicious food. She never wronged herself in her previous life, and she will never do so now.

Su Hongying nodded slightly and said, "You are a good material for business. It's just that the current situation in China is not suitable for you. You can show your talents in Hong Kong City."

Lu Jiaxin had already decided to go to Hong Kong City. She asked, "Aunt Su, my mother's dying wish was that I could go to college. When I get there, I will still take the college entrance examination."

I say this for a purpose. If you want to go to university, you must have a legal identity. It's too late to sneak across the border and avoid the police, so how can you go to school?

Su Hongying said, "Jia Xin, let's reveal your information to Ms. Gu first. If she is willing to take you to Hong Kong City, she will help you arrange your household registration and school. If you let Su Heyuan take you to Hong Kong City, the procedures will be more complicated, and even your father and eldest brother will not agree."

Lu Jiaxin didn't refuse this time: "Just let her know that there is someone like me, and let everything else take its course."

I have to say that this girl is very smart. If she went to recognize her relatives by herself, people would probably think that they had ulterior motives, but it would be different if she let Ms. Gu find them herself.

Su Hongying reminded her, "Jia Xin, the schools in Hong Kong are different from those in the mainland. The systems are also different. Even if you pass the exam, you still have to take an interview. If you fail the interview, the university will not admit you no matter how good your exam results are."

Lu Jiaxin said, "Nothing is difficult if one sets his mind to it. I won't take the exam this year, but I will prepare to take it next year. If I still fail after a year and a half of preparation, it only proves that I am not capable enough. I will just do business when the time comes."

In Hong Kong, you can do business and study at the same time. Forget about it in China. If you do this, people will not praise you for being a genius, but will think you are wasting national resources and not doing your job properly. You may not even get your diploma. In the 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong's economy was also developing rapidly. It is better to go there first to accumulate capital and then come back to invest.
