Chapter 16: Incompetence



Lu Hongjun asked the doctor: "What do you think should I give her to help her recover as soon as possible?"

The doctor said that Chinese medicine is good at regulating the body, and recommended a Chinese medicine doctor in their hospital to the father and daughter.

Lu Hongjun thanked her and took Lu Jiaxin out. When they reached the corridor, he whispered, "I heard there's an old Chinese doctor who's very good at treating people's health. Wait for me to find someone to introduce him to you. If he agrees, I'll take you there."

"good."

After leaving the hospital, Lu Hongjun said, "Xinxin, I couldn't leave yesterday because of something. Can you take me to see the house?"

Lu Jiaxin didn't refuse, but she had to make some things clear: "I am your daughter. If you want to live with me, I welcome you. But Ding Jing and Zhao Siyi are my enemies. If you want to bring them here, don't blame me for not recognizing you as your father."

This was naturally to please Lu Hongjun. Through today's test, she knew that Lu Hongjun must have secretly accumulated a lot of wealth. Therefore, she still had to be a good daughter on the surface, so that she could get more from him and ask him for help when she encountered difficulties in her business in the future. As for the Xie family, she would not visit them unless it was a matter of life and death.

Lu Hongjun felt relieved when he heard this. His daughter was still very filial. He sighed and said, "Don't worry, they won't come to our house."

After what happened yesterday, he knew that the two sides were at loggerheads and there was no chance of reconciliation. He now only hoped that the two sides would keep out of each other's way, and as for the future, he would talk about it later.

Lu Jiaxin changed the subject: "Dad, Xue Mao can't sit still and wants to continue setting up the stall."

Lu Hongjun said: "It's hard to find a job now. He has never been to school, is young and is from another place. He can't find a suitable job for the time being. Since he can support himself by setting up a stall, let him do it first."

With the return of a large number of educated youth, the number of jobs available in the city is very small. Now there are more people than jobs. If he were to find a job for Lu Jiaxin, he would definitely try his best. And Xue Mao, according to his opinion, would give her a sum of money as a reward. But Lu Jiaxin said yesterday that she would repay the favor herself, so she didn't mention it.

Lu Jiaxin specifically mentioned this, of course, for a reason: "Dad, I want to buy a tricycle, so it will be convenient to go out and set up a stall. Otherwise, it would be exhausting to move so many things around."

Lu Hongjun looked at her steadily.

Lu Jiaxin's heart was about to jump out of her chest. Could it be that she was discovered to be different from her original self and her identity was doubted? But she soon calmed down. After Lu Hongjun remarried, his mind was on Ding Jing and he cared less about his original self. In addition to the previous changes, it was impossible for him to doubt himself.

Lu Hongjun felt that she was a completely different person. In the past, his daughter never cared about money, but now she loved money like her life. However, thinking that she couldn't even afford to eat in the ancient capital and was forced to set up a street stall, Lu Hongjun couldn't help but soften his heart: "Xinxin, it's a good thing that you have a good heart. But I'm your father. In the future, if you want something, just tell me directly instead of beating around the bush."

Lu Jiaxin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was not doubting her identity. She lowered her head and pretended to be sad and said: "In the past few years, you have always been partial to that vicious mother and daughter, and you don't love me anymore. I was worried that if I kept asking you for things, you would get annoyed with me."

Lu Hongjun laughed when he heard that and said, "You are my daughter, my only child. I will definitely buy you anything you want as long as I can afford it. But Xinxin, your Aunt Ding is the one who will spend the rest of my life with me, and you will grow up and have your own family, so I will definitely take her feelings into consideration. But don't worry, everything that belongs to Dad will be yours in the future."

Lu Jiaxin snorted coldly: "I'm not a three-year-old child anymore, don't use such words to coax me."

Only when you hold something in your hands does it belong to you, and everything else is just empty talk. Of course, it is not just empty talk, but it would be best if you really plan to give it to her in the future; it doesn't matter if you don't give it to her. As the old saying goes, if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall, if you rely on the queen, you will get old, and relying on yourself is the kingly way.

Lu Hongjun said in a blaming tone: "Girl, since you were little, when has your father ever broken his promise to you?"

Lu Jiaxin pretended to be surprised and asked, "You didn't lie to me. Will you really leave the family property to me and not to that vicious mother and daughter?"

Lu Hongjun said, "I'll give you the big head, and I'll leave the small head to your Aunt Ding. I'm much older than she is, and I'll definitely die before her in the future, so I have to leave something for her as a guarantee."

The relationship between the two sides could not be repaired, and Lu Hongjun did not want to annoy his daughter again about this matter: "I can't agree to this. It will be unnatural to bring it up if I get used to it."

Lu Jiaxin turned her head and didn't speak to him.

When Lu Hongjun arrived at Guangming Road by car, he was quite surprised when he walked into the house. He thought it was a small house, but he didn't expect it to be so big. However, he soon figured out the trick.

Lu Hongjun said, "This house was bought with the help of the Xie family, right?"

Lu Jiaxin did not deny it. She was on guard against him targeting the Xie family and deliberately said, "Mom said that unless it is a matter of life and death, I am not allowed to go to the Xie family."

The Xie family is the biggest support that Lu's mother left for her with her own life. No one can get involved, including Lu Hongjun.

Lu Hongjun's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered: "This house is not easy to buy. We should go to their house to thank them for helping us so much."

Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything. Sometimes silence means rejection.

Lu Hongjun heard that his superiors were going to let him retire next year. He didn't want to retire, he wanted to work in this position until retirement, if the Xie family was willing to help him, it would be fine. But his daughter was resentful now, so he had to calm down and coax her.

Lu Hongjun left after staying for less than ten minutes.

Xue Mao whispered, "Sister, is he really your father? Why doesn't he look like him to me?"

“I look like my grandmother.”

It was fate. This girl not only had the same name as her, but also looked about 70% like her. The difference was in her temperament. She thought that this might be the reason why she was able to get this body.

Xue Mao explained: "Sister, I'm not talking about appearance, I'm talking about attitude. The woman he married later and his stepdaughter hurt you so much, but he didn't pursue the matter and let you move out. Now you come to our place, but you only stay for a short while and then leave without helping you with anything."

Lu Jiaxin explained with a smile: "He asked me to move out because he knew that woman and I couldn't live together. As for not helping me with the arrangements, I can just have my fifth brother help me tidy up the house, so he doesn't need to work hard."

"How can a father be like this? He leaves everything to others and doesn't care about anything himself."

Lu Jiaxin said something fair: "He didn't do any work but he paid. And he just promised to buy you a tricycle, so it will be much easier to set up a stall in the future."

Through these two conversations, she could see that the most important thing to Lu Hongjun was himself, followed by his wife and children. Ding Jing was not only gentle, considerate and beautiful, but also young. He was counting on her to take care of him for the rest of his life, so he would wrong his daughter when they had a conflict. But in private, he would comfort her and not let her resent him, so that she could enjoy the happiness of family in the future. It must be said that he was really good at calculating, and the original body never blamed him until death.

Xue Mao stopped talking after hearing this.
