Lu Jiaxin did not refuse, but she kept her promise and donated the money. She just didn't donate it to Hong Kong, but to the mainland.
Gu Xiuxiu was a little tired and prepared to go back, but Lu Jiaxin didn't want to.
Lu Jiaxin said, "Aunt, I heard that the food at Fulinmen is delicious. It's almost dinner time now, let's go to Fulinmen to eat!"
It was rare for Lu Jiaxin to make a request, so Gu Xiuxiu naturally satisfied it.
This time it was Aunt Mei who came along. As soon as they entered the private room, Lu Jiaxin said, "Aunt Mei, please go back and fetch Haifan to eat together."
Aunt Mei was reluctant to go, saying that she and Aunt Hong had been taking care of Old Madam Gu, and she was worried that if something happened while she was away, Lu Jiaxin wouldn't be able to handle it.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "This place is not far from Queen Mary Hospital. If my aunt is feeling unwell, I will immediately ask the restaurant staff to send her to the hospital. Aunt Mei, don't you trust the service here?"
This is one of the favorite restaurants of Hong Kong's wealthy people. Not only does it have delicious food, but its service and adaptability are also well-known.
Gu Xiuxiu spoke up: "Aunt Mei, go and get Haifan! The two children have been in Hong Kong for so long, and I haven't taken them out for dinner yet!"
Aunt Mei was worried, but she didn't say anything after Gu Xiuxiu spoke.
After Mei Gu left, Feng Lihua also considerately closed the door and stood outside. It was obvious that his employer had something to say to Ms. Gu.
Lu Jiaxin asked, "Aunt, I want to know what the He family has against you that makes you swallow your anger in silence."
Gu Xiuxiu didn't avoid it this time: "I know these things are not good for you."
Lu Jiaxin did not ask further questions, but just said: "Aunt, even if you committed murder and arson, the He family helped to conceal it and committed the crime of harboring. I don't know if they will be punished after the incident is exposed, but the stock price will definitely be affected, so you don't have to be afraid of them at all."
“It’s not that easy.”
Seeing that she still didn't say anything, Lu Jiaxin gave her a strong dose of medicine: "Aunt, you used to live in the He family's old house. I don't believe that the first wife knew nothing when He Shengbin was plotting against you. Aunt, they just want to be the yellow bird, why do you still care about such people."
Gu Xiuxiu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't care about the old relationship, but... Well, since you want to know, I'll tell you. The old man gave me 10% of the group's shares because I took good care of him for many years. But he was also worried that the shares would fall into the hands of outsiders, so there were restrictions, that is, the shares cannot be transferred, only dividends can be distributed, and they must be returned to the He family after a hundred years."
"Besides, the first wife found fault with me back then, and before she died, she gave the evidence she collected to Ho Chu-leung. If I make a will, whether I leave the property to you and Hai-fan or donate it all, he will not let me go."
As expected, he was caught with evidence that could bring disgrace upon my aunt.
Lu Jiaxin asked, "The lawyer, Aunt Mei and Aunt Hong, have they all been bribed by the He family?"
Gu Xiuxiu shook her head and said, "No. Lawyer Bai almost went bankrupt before, and it was the old man who helped him through the difficult times. After that incident, he became the legal advisor of the He Group. All the contracts I signed for my investment were handled by him or his apprentice. However, he is a big lawyer and he is very careful about his reputation, so he will not disclose my situation."
"Jia Xin, I know you don't want me to be wronged, but he knows a lot of people in the underworld, and he used to be sworn brothers with a leader. So I can't turn against him. If I do, the three of us, the grandparents and grandchildren, will be in danger."
Gu Xiuxiu said: "It's my fault this time. I shouldn't have had the wild idea of letting you and He Yanyan get along. But don't worry, there won't be a next time."
Lu Jiaxin was silent for a moment and then said, "Aunt, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked so many questions."
Gu Xiuxiu shook her head and said, "I know you don't want me to be constrained by the He family. But from the moment I entered the He family, I will be a member of the He family for the rest of my life."
Lu Jiaxin understood that her feelings towards the He family were complicated. Perhaps it was obsession, or perhaps it was her deep affection for Mr. He. No matter what, it was her own choice. What may be poison to others may be candied fruit to you. She felt that being monitored was an infringement of her rights, but Gu Xiuxiu was probably used to it and didn't care.
Gu Xiuxiu said: "You don't have to worry about He Yanyan. This child is spoiled. She will never be able to marry into a wealthy family in the future, even if it is a match for her."
The rich families were very particular about marrying a daughter-in-law, and people like He Yanyan were not even considered by them. To put it bluntly, even if she became a mistress of a rich man, it wouldn't last long. Few men could stand such a temperament.
In Lu Jiaxin's mind, He Yanyan was just a clown and nothing to be feared: "Aunt, just like you just said to the tabloid reporter, things are unpredictable. I think you should make more arrangements."
Gu Xiuxiu said, "Don't worry, I have saved an education fund for you and Haifan. This money is enough for you to study for a doctorate. Jiaxin, this is all that your aunt can do for you, don't refuse."
Lu Jiaxin didn't actually need the education fund, but since it was Gu Xiuxiu's good intention, she didn't refuse. After thinking for a while, she said, "Aunt, money is something outside of your body. You can't bring it with you when you are born, and you can't take it with you when you die. When one day you can't keep the family property, you should give it up. No matter if it's me or Haifan, we can provide for your retirement in the future."
Gu Haifan is very smart, and if he is given time to grow up, he will definitely achieve something. As for taking care of his parents, he is very loyal and will not refuse.
It was already past six after dinner. Gu Xiuxiu refused to let Lu Jiaxin take them back to the mid-level area: "You still have classes tomorrow, go back and rest early."
Unable to persuade her, Lu Jiaxin did not send it. When she returned to Fu'an Community, Lu Jiaxin called Su Heyuan to tell him about the donation.
Su Heyuan was surprised: "Two million, are you really donating?"
Lu Jiaxin said: "Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. Of course, what you say must be counted."
Su Heyuan thought she was quite ambitious. If it were him, he would never be willing to donate: "The mainland is short of foreign exchange. If you donate such a large sum of money, they will definitely reward you."
Lu Jiaxin didn't want any praise: "I want to donate anonymously. I hope this money can help the orphanage repair its houses and improve their lives."
"Donate anonymously? If you are caught and questioned by those gossip reporters, how will you answer?"
"No matter what they write, I just have a clear conscience."
