Gu Xiuxiu did not return to Sijiu City. She stayed in Qingshui County for a week and then returned to Gangcheng. She learned from Su Heyuan that Gu Xiuxiu brought a little boy back with her.

Su Heyuan said, "The child is thirteen years old this year, and his name is Gu Haifan. I heard that his father died and his mother remarried and no one cared about him. I don't know how he caught the eye of Ms. Gu and was brought back to Gangcheng."

"That's good. She won't be lonely anymore with a grandson."

Lu Jiaxin didn't care about this. From the adoption of Xing Yujun, she felt that Gu Xiuxiu must be lonely because of her age. She already had plans for the future and it was impossible for her to be with Gu Xiuxiu. Gu Haifan had a hard life and no one loved him. If he was taken back by Ms. Gu, he would definitely be with her. But the child was only thirteen years old, and his mind should not be mature in all aspects. He suddenly broke into a colorful world, and hoped that he would not lose himself.

Su Heyuan was a little surprised: "Aren't you in a hurry?"

Lu Jiaxin knew what he meant: "My aunt has agreed to help me get my Hong Kong residence registration, that's enough. I can buy a house and a car myself in the future."

Su Heyuan said, "Do you know how much wealth Ms. Gu has? The shares of He's Jewelry Company alone are worth nearly 100 million. She also has many properties under her name, conservatively estimated to be worth 50 to 60 million. She also likes to collect jewelry and antiques, conservatively estimated to be worth tens of millions."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I like to spend my own money. Brother Su, you are so capable and your career has already started. You don't have to cling to Mr. Su's property. They are the past, and the future belongs to us. I believe that we can surpass them in less than ten years."

Su Heyuan was stunned, and when he came to his senses, he smiled and said, "When will you come to Hong Kong?"

Lu Jiaxin said briskly, "I went for a checkup last week, and the doctor felt my pulse and said that my body was almost fully recovered, so I should take the medicine for another month to consolidate it."

"So you can come here in July."

"Almost." Lu Jiaxin said. She thought she might have to go to Hong Kong once in the middle, after all, she had to be present in person to apply for an ID card.

Su Heyuan thought to himself that his hard work was worth it: "When you get here, I'll treat you to a meal."

The two talked for a while before hanging up the phone. Then Lu Jiaxin called Gu Xiuxiu again, and the two were soon connected.

Lu Jiaxin said, "Aunt, why did you buy me a house for no reason? My house now has many empty rooms, why did you buy me such a big one?"

Gu Xiuxiu said, "Your house is so big that cars can't even drive into it. There's no floor heating and no toilet or bathroom. The house I bought now is more spacious, and I'll hire someone to renovate it in every aspect. Next time I go to Sijiucheng, I won't have to stay in a hotel. I'll just stay at your place. I heard that Houhai is very beautiful. We can go for a walk in Houhai after dinner."

Lu Jiaxin couldn't refuse anymore, so she thanked him and said, "Aunt, don't buy me anything anymore. I have money, and I will buy whatever I want myself."

Gu Xiuxiu became happy when she heard this, and said while laughing: "Okay, tell me if you need anything in the future, and I will buy it for you."

"good."

The next day, Lu Jiaxin went to see her house. She guessed that the house would be big, but she didn't expect it to be a large house with five courtyards and a garden. In ancient times, such a large house was only lived in by royal relatives or officials of the second rank or above.

Lu Jiaxin walked around and came to the garden. There were pine trees and cypress trees in the garden, as well as rockery pavilions and ponds. However, the rockery had not been taken care of for a long time and was dirty and messy, the pond had dried up long ago, and there was a lot of garbage in the pavilion.

Although the house was quite damaged, Qian Xiaoxiao still exclaimed: "Sister Xin, how much does such a big house cost?"

Lu Jiaxin was well versed in history and said, "A house like this would have cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build in the Qing Dynasty. It would probably cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver now."

A house like this might not be bought even if you have money, you also need connections and status. It was also thanks to my aunt's intervention, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to get any information.

Lu Jiaxin likes her very much. She is simple-minded and has no desires. She just wants to be well fed and clothed. "If you want to go to Hong Kong with me, you have to learn Cantonese first. Otherwise, you won't even know what people say when you get there. How can you protect me?"

Qian Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Sister Xin, my grandfather said the same thing. He also said that if you want to learn Cantonese, it's best to go to Pengcheng. The dialect there is closest to Hong Kong's vernacular. Sister Xin, when you go to Hongcheng to study, I will find a job in Pengcheng and learn Cantonese while working."

She liked Lu Jiaxin very much. She had a big appetite because she had practiced martial arts since she was young, and she was often teased by others. Some people even said that she would eat her husband's family out of money after she got married. But Lu Jiaxin not only did not tease her, but also praised her and never treated her badly. If possible, she wanted to stay with Sister Xin all the time.

Lu Jiaxin said, "Of course it's fine if you want to follow me, but forget about entering the factory. There are so many supervisors in the factory, and you can't stand the cowardice."

"I'll listen to you, Sister Xin."

On the way back, I saw a shop selling pea yellow. Lu Jiaxin really liked this snack. But she couldn't eat it alone. Thinking that everyone in her family was a big eater, she bought three bags and brought them back.

At the entrance of the alley, Lu Jiaxin ran into Lu Jiajie's friend Asheng. She thought he was just passing by, so she smiled and invited him to her house.

"good."

After entering the yard, Chen Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Jia Xin, I'm here to see you."

Lu Jiaxin asked him to sit down and took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and gave it to her: "Brother Sheng, don't be in a hurry. Drink a bottle of soda to cool down first."

She can't eat cold food now, so the popsicles and soda in the refrigerator are prepared for Xue Mao and Xiao Xiao.

Chen Sheng finished the soda in a few gulps, and then said, "Yan Fang was caught by someone, and in order to get out of this situation, he wrote an IOU for three thousand yuan, and now he's borrowing money everywhere."

Lu Jiaxin asked with interest: "What's the evidence? Were you caught in bed?"

Chen Sheng was so scared that he started coughing. Although it was true, it was too fierce for a little girl to say it. However, he knew that Lu Jiaxin was not an ordinary little girl, so he did not hide it anymore: "Yes, in order to protect myself, I wrote an IOU and signed and stamped my fingerprints."

It’s hard to tell Lu Jiaxin the details. The woman’s husband wanted to cut off Yan Fang’s third leg, but fortunately he was stopped by the people who went with him to catch the adultery.

Chen Sheng said, "Before he left, Brother Jie told me to call him if the Yan family and the Ma family caused any trouble again, but the phone number he left was not accessible."

Lu Jiaxin knew that Lu Jiajie made such an arrangement because he was afraid that Ma Lili would make trouble for the two families again: "Fifth brother took the car yesterday afternoon and will be home the day after tomorrow. I will ask him to come to you then."

"No, just tell him about it."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and smiled bitterly, saying, "My sister-in-law blamed me for borrowing money last time. I don't dare to get involved in their family affairs anymore."

Ah Sheng felt that Ma Lili was really confused. If he had such a sister, his wife would be able to worship her: "Then let him come to me and I will tell him."
