Chapter 233 Doubt



After the Lantern Festival, Gu Xiuxiu and Gu Haifan were still at Gu's house and had not returned. Lu Jiaxin called them and it was Gu Xiuxiu who answered the call. She said that she was fine in the old house and wanted to stay for a few more days.

When Lu Jiaxin heard this, she stopped caring.

As soon as she returned to school after the semester started, Cui Zhihui asked her, "Are you going to the He family mansion to celebrate the New Year? I called several times but no one answered. Someone answered on the afternoon of the sixth day of the New Year but was vague."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "No, my fate is in conflict with the He family, so I shouldn't enter their house. I went to Hawaii for a rare vacation and will be back on the ninth day of the first lunar month."

She took a day off on the 10th day of the first lunar month and started taking remedial classes on the 11th day. She had already said that she wanted to take the entrance exam to the Hong Kong University Business School, so she had to pass it, otherwise she would be ridiculed by many people!

Cui Zhihui was so envious that she went to cram school during the Spring Festival. The relationship between the two sisters has eased now, and she followed Cui Lili's advice and went to cram school.

Lu Jiaxin comforted him, "Don't be envious. When you have a job and money in the future, you can go anywhere."

After the exams, she will go on vacation, but she hasn't decided where to go yet. She'll see how it goes! Anyway, before graduation, she'll travel at least twice a year.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, as soon as school was over, Lu Jiaxin received a call from Gu Haifan, saying that he and Gu Xiuxiu had moved back to the Gu residence: "Cousin, my aunt and I miss you so much, when can you come to see us?"

Lu Jiaxin heard his voice was a little urgent and thought something might be wrong: "I'll come over now, wait for me."

"good."

Lu Jiaxin returned home and changed her clothes. At this time, the tutor had already arrived. She explained the situation to the tutor and rushed to Gu's house.

When they arrived at Gu's house, Gu Xiuxiu had just picked a basket of flowers from the garden and was preparing to trim them. Seeing Lu Jiaxin, she was a little confused, and it was only after Aunt Mei whispered a few words in her ear that she smiled and said, "Jiaxin, why are you here?"

Seeing her rosy complexion and energetic appearance, Lu Jiaxin felt that there was nothing wrong. As for Haifan's own emergency, the probability was relatively small, after all, the child was still a student and had not yet entered society.

Lu Jiaxin didn't mention Gu Haifan, she just smiled and said, "I haven't seen my aunt for almost a month. I missed you so much. I came to see you as soon as I knew you moved back."

Gu Xiuxiu said with a smile: "Did you have dinner? Didn't you ask the kitchen to add two dishes?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said that she hadn't eaten yet. She rushed over after school. It was still too early for dinner. "Aunt, where's Haifan? Hasn't he come back from school yet?"

Gu Xiuxiu pointed upstairs and said with a smile on her face, "Your Uncle He is planning to transfer him to another school, so he has been reviewing his lessons these days. He is reading upstairs now!"

"I'll go see him."

"Go ahead!"

Lu Jiaxin went to the third floor, knocked on Gu Haifan's door, and got his permission to go in. Fearing that someone might push the door open, she locked the door.

When Gu Haifan saw her, he felt like he had met a savior: "Cousin, Uncle He asked me to transfer to an international school, and my aunt agreed. Cousin, it took me a semester to catch up, and I have to start all over again if I go to a new school."

Lu Jiaxin also disagreed with him transferring schools. It would not be good for him to change places just when he was familiar with the environment: "If you don't want to go, why don't you tell your aunt?"

Gu Haifan said in confusion that he had said, "My great aunt agreed at the time and said she would not let me go to that international school, but then she turned around and said it was good to go to an international school. Cousin, I asked my classmate, and he said that international schools are for children of rich people or officials. I, I can't adapt to it if I go there."

Lu Jiaxin asked: "Didn't you tell the He family?"

Initially, Gu Xiuxiu was planning to send Gu Haifan to a prestigious school, but Lu Jiaxin's words changed her mind. Gu Haifan is also attending a government-run primary school, where his parents are all working class, and he has made a few friends in the past six months.

Gu Haifan lowered his head and said, "I did, but they all said that international schools are better. I said several times that I like my current school, but they seemed not to hear it. He Yanyan even scolded me, saying that I was a country bumpkin who was not presentable and didn't know what was good for me."

"Have you told your aunt about this?"

Gu Haifan said that he had said it, but it was useless. Gu Xiuxiu told him to listen to the He family.

Lu Jiaxin felt that something was not right. How could Gu Xiuxiu let Gu Haifan listen to the He family's arrangements when she didn't like the He family? She thought for a moment and asked, "Why did you live in the He family for so long?"

Gu Haifan said gloomily, "My aunt didn't want to go to the He family for the New Year. It was Uncle He and Aunt He who invited her. We said we would come back on the sixth day, but Uncle He and Aunt He wouldn't let us go, and my aunt didn't object. On the afternoon of the eighth day, my aunt asked me to pack my things and said I would be back the next morning. But when I asked her the next day, she said she didn't say that."

"Alas, my aunt was fine before, but these days she forgets everything she said the other day. I asked Aunt Mei and Aunt Gu, and she said that most people are like this as they get older. Cousin, getting old is really scary."

Lu Jiaxin's heart skipped a beat. This didn't seem like a bad memory, but more like Alzheimer's disease. If he really had this disease, it would be a big deal. The guardianship of her and Haifan was still in the hands of her aunt. If her aunt was confirmed to have Alzheimer's disease, He Zhuliang would become the guardian of her and Haifan. Of course, she would be seventeen soon and had the confidence, and the He family could not make decisions for her. But Haifan would be in trouble. Once they took over the guardianship, he would be bullied to death by He Yanyan.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Jiaxin decided not to be too nervous. Perhaps her memory had really deteriorated as she aged. She comforted Gu Haifan and said, "Your memory will deteriorate as you age. This is a natural law that cannot be changed by human power."

Gu Haifan also knew that memory would deteriorate with age. Many elderly people in his hometown were like this, but not as serious as his aunt: "Cousin, I don't want to transfer schools."

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Since you don't want to transfer schools, then don't transfer. Go to school as usual tomorrow, and I'll talk to the He family."

Gu Haifan felt relieved immediately: "Thank you, cousin."

"You read a book. I'll go and chat with my aunt."

"good."

When they got downstairs, Gu Xiuxiu smiled and said, "It turned out that Haifan called you. I was wondering why you came back so suddenly."

He didn't look like he had Alzheimer's disease at all. Because there were so many people here, Lu Jiaxin couldn't ask, "Yes, Haifan told me that he didn't want to transfer schools. Aunt, Haifan has just adapted to his current school, and he will be promoted to middle school this year. Letting him transfer schools at this time will be detrimental to his growth and learning."

Gu Xiuxiu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll call Zhu Liang tomorrow."

With Haifan's words, Lu Jiaxin didn't dare to let her call tomorrow: "Aunt, if you call now, Haifan will have to go to school tomorrow."

"OK."
