Lu Jiaguang said, "Uncle San, Jiaxin said she wants to apply to the HKU Business School. I just asked someone about it. It's very difficult to get into HKU, and the Business School is even more difficult. However, those who can study in this school are all elites, and most of them have done very well after graduation. If Jiaxin is admitted, it will be very helpful for her future development."
He also saw that this girl was going to do business in the future, so it would be most appropriate for her to go to Gangcheng Business School. First, she could make connections and gain experience, and second, she could recruit talents.
Lu Hongjun wanted Lu Jiaxin to apply to a university in Beijing and stay here to work in the future.
Lu Jiaguang paused and asked, "You want her to stay in the Forbidden City and then marry into a wealthy family?"
Lu Hongjun did plan this: "Jia Xin is smart, talented, and good-looking. It won't be difficult for her to marry a promising young man from a large courtyard."
Lu Jiaguang broke his fantasy: "Uncle San, Jiaxin doesn't like being controlled by others. The path you planned is good but not suitable for her. She wants to go to Hong Kong City. Even if you use your connections, you can only trap her for two years at most. After two years, when she becomes an adult, you can't stop her from going there."
Lu Hongjun said with a gloomy face: "She is going to Hong Kong City and will never come back. I have raised her for nothing."
Lu Jiaguang patiently advised, "Third Uncle, the child has grown up and wants to fly, so let her fly! When she is tired, she will know to go home. If you use some trickery to keep her, my sister will be furious and publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties with her. In two years, she will go abroad to settle down, and it will be difficult for you to see her even once."
If it was before, Lu Hongjun might not be afraid, but today, Lu Jiaxin not only treated him rudely, but also asked that girl to kick him out. If he angered her, she would really publish an advertisement to sever the relationship, and then he would become the laughing stock of the city.
In mid-June, Gu Xiuxiu came to see Lu Jiaxin after she recovered. Although she was nearly seventy years old, she had a graceful figure and a leisurely demeanor, giving people a sense of tranquil beauty that had been accumulated over the years.
Gu Xiuxiu looked at her and murmured to herself, "Really, really similar."
As soon as Lu Jiaxin heard it, she knew who she was talking about: "Aunt, my mother used to say that her eyebrows and eyes are more like the Ding family, and I look more like my grandmother."
Seeing her daughter's beauty, Lu's mother was more worried than happy. Since ancient times, beauties have risked their lives, and it is not a good thing for a girl to be too beautiful.
Gu Xiuxiu nodded and said, "Yes, your eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as your grandmother's."
Lu Jiaxin invited her into the main hall, sat her down, and made her some Qingming tea: "Aunt, you've just gotten better, how can you travel such a long distance?"
By the time she received Gu Xiuxiu's call, she had already arrived in Yangcheng, and it was too late to stop her. It was also because it came too suddenly that Lu Jiaxin was not prepared at all.
Gu Xiuxiu smiled and said, "I know my own health very well, you don't have to worry. Girl, I came back this time mainly to visit my hometown and burn some incense for your great-grandmother and grandmother."
Because she was sold, she hated her parents and never came back to look for them even when life got better. However, when investigating Lu Jiaxin's background, she also learned that her mother, brother and sister were all sold by that beast. Her mother committed suicide the night she was sold because she could not bear the humiliation. Her sister died in less than 30 years. Her second brother died early and her third brother died on the battlefield. The eldest brother who stayed behind to inherit the family line is still alive and has many children and grandchildren, which fulfilled the old beast's wish.
Lu Jiaxin hesitated for a moment and said, "Aunt, I can't stop taking my medicine, so I won't go. When I get better, I'll go and burn incense and pay tribute to my grandma and great-grandma."
Gu Xiuxiu nodded slightly: "You are right. Health is the most important thing. Your grandmother and mother will be very relieved to know this."
Gu Xiuxiu was a little surprised: "What's the matter? Tell me."
When I adopted Xing Yujun, I was very nervous and grateful when I bought things for that girl. Unlike this girl, she would return the gifts when I gave her things, and now she even makes requests when she meets her.
Lu Jiaxin said, "Aunt, I want to have a Hong Kong hukou. This way I can go to Hong Kong to study and take the entrance exam for the Hong Kong University Business School next year."
This request was beyond Gu Xiuxiu's expectations: "You want to apply to the Hong Kong University Business School? Did you know that the teaching language at Hong Kong University is Cantonese and English? Do you think you can keep up there?"
Lu Jiaxin said in Cantonese that she wanted to apply to the HKU Business School, and then switched to English and said it again. She felt that she was quite talented in languages. She could speak Cantonese fluently after less than two years in Pengcheng, and after learning English during this period, she could work as a translator.
Gu Xiuxiu immediately sat up straight and crossed her hands on her legs. People who knew her well knew that she would always do this when faced with important matters: "Who taught you English?"
Lu Jiaxin said: "I first learned by listening to the tape recorder, then listened to the English radio station every day, and hired a tutor. Now I can speak Cantonese more fluently. As for Cantonese, my aunt lives in Guangzhou, and I went there a few times during the summer vacation and learned it."
This girl is even better than she thought. Her younger sister's tender face suddenly appeared in her mind, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Seeing her expression, Lu Jiaxin asked carefully, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Xiuxiu said with some sadness: "Your grandmother was very smart when she was young, and she learned everything quickly. I said she would be the first college student in our family. It's a pity that something unexpected happened, otherwise she would definitely be an outstanding talent."
There was no way around it. At the time, the warlords were in chaos, and there was famine. The Chinese people were in great hardship, and everyone was swept away by the times. It was lucky to be able to survive the torrent, as many people were drowned in it.
Gu Xiuxiu quickly calmed down and said, "Your father is your guardian now. I need his consent to let you settle down in Gangcheng."
Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything stupid like she didn't need his consent. Even if the two of them had a falling out and moved out, Lu Hongjun was still her guardian in law. If he didn't agree, and she sued her aunt for human trafficking, she wouldn't be able to go to Hong Kong City for the next two years: "Don't worry, aunt, he won't stop me."
With the farce a few days ago, the eldest brother would definitely persuade him to agree. Everyone felt that blood is thicker than water, and as long as Lu Hongjun stopped favoring Ding Jing and her daughter, they would be able to reconcile after a few years when she calmed down. Therefore, they would not let their relationship continue to deteriorate.
Gu Xiuxiu nodded and said, "I will arrange for someone to handle this for you as soon as possible."
Hong Kong is not like the mainland, where the rich are supreme. As long as you have power and influence, it is easy to register your relatives.
