It was already ten o'clock when she returned to Gu's house. Lu Jiaxin went upstairs quietly, took a shower, and climbed into bed to sleep. She woke up at half past six the next day, and this time she didn't stay in bed.

After washing up, she called Qian Xiaoxiao and the two of them went out for a run. This area is full of rich people, so there is no need to worry about public security. Even if the He family wanted to harm her, they would not choose this place, as it would incur public anger.

After running, Lu Jiaxin's clothes were soaked with sweat and she went back to her room to take a shower. This is the bad thing about summer, sweating as soon as you move, it's really unbearable.

After taking a shower, Lu Jiaxin wrapped her hair and called Feng Lihua: "I'm sorry, I played outside until late yesterday and got home at 10 o'clock. I guessed that you and the baby were already asleep, so I didn't call."

Feng Lihua politely said that it was okay: "My friend's brother has taken a leave of absence and is now in the hospital taking care of the children. If you want to see him, you can do so anytime, but you have to meet near the hospital."

"Then I'll treat him to lunch, right next to the hospital."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

"Can."

At noon, Lu Jiaxin met Zong Jinghua, who was tall and strong, and looked a lot like the Flying Tigers in the Hong Kong dramas she watched. Well, he was just not as handsome.

After the four of them sat down, Zong Jinghua asked, "Ms. Lu, Ms. Feng should have told you about my situation. I'm in urgent need of money for my daughter's surgery. If you hire me, I'll need to advance one year's salary. I can start working after my daughter's surgery."

Those who can join the Flying Tigers must have unquestionable abilities and backgrounds. In addition, they have an advantage: having connections in the police station will make it easier for them to gather information.

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "It's no problem to advance one year's salary, but do you understand my situation clearly?"

Zong Jinghua nodded and said, "Miss Feng told me everything. You are dating Third Young Master Nie, the He family won't dare to touch you, at most they will do something small."

This was the second time Lu Jiaxin had heard such words. She was very curious and asked, "Does the Nie family also have a relationship with the big boss of the society? Why haven't I heard of it?"

If there was a connection, the media or the circle would have spread the news long ago, but she had never heard of such a thing in all the time she had been in Hong Kong.

Zong Jinghua had been in the police station for many years and knew a lot: "Mr. Nie only had dealings with a former gang leader, but that gang leader died unexpectedly six years ago."

Accident? It was most likely a man-made accident. Few of the gang leaders had a good ending, and those who did would have quit early and not been involved in anything.

Seeing Lu Jiaxin's puzzled expression, Zong Jinghua was a little surprised: "Miss Lu, don't you know what Mr. Nie's father's family does?"

"Ah, didn't the media say his father had died a long time ago?"

Zong Jinghua laughed and said, "The media is talking nonsense. Mr. Nie San's father is still alive and well."

Lu Jiaxin asked in surprise, "He's still alive? Then why didn't the Nie family come out to clarify when the media fabricated that he was dead?"

Zong Jinghua shook his head and said, "Young Master Nie's father was born into a prominent family, and his family background is much deeper than that of the Nie family. People in the upper class know Young Master Nie's background, so he is so popular."

She was just hiring a bodyguard, but she didn't expect to find out the secret that Nie Zhan's father was still alive. Maybe it's not a secret, but she hasn't entered that circle yet so she doesn't know. She didn't continue asking, it would be better to ask Nie Zhan in person when the time is right.

After dinner, Lu Jiaxin wrote a check and handed it to Zong Jinghua, saying, "My lawyer will come to you this afternoon to sign the contract."

Zong Jinghua was thinking about his daughter in the ward, so he left in a hurry after the conversation. Lu Jiaxin looked at his back and said, "It is also the little girl's luck to have such a good father."

Lu Jiaxin and Feng Lihua got in the car and asked, "Sister Feng, do you know what Nie Zhan's father does?"

Feng Lihua said, "I know that Master Nie Zhan's father is a scientist, but I don't know what he studies specifically. I thought you knew so I didn't tell you."

Lu Jiaxin said helplessly, "I don't know. I always thought his father was dead, and his family shouldn't be that good either."

"Why do you think so?"

Lu Jiaxin explained: "In the mainland, even ordinary men, not to mention those from famous families or those who have achieved success, would not let their sons take their mother's surname. Fathers who let their sons take their mother's surname are usually incompetent and cowardly and cannot find a wife."

So it is said that stereotypes can kill people. She saw that Nie Zhan's last name was Nie, and subconsciously thought that his biological father came from an ordinary family and died young because of the media's misleading information. However, she didn't know that the facts were completely different from what she knew.

Feng Lihua asked, "Will this affect your relationship with Master Nie Zhan?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "Nie Zhan's father's family is very powerful, isn't that a good thing? I'll have another backer in the future."

Feng Lihua smiled and said, "Then maybe they will oppose you and Master Nie?"

"If Nie Zhan is so useless, then there's no need for us to be together. No, I'm not dating him yet. I'm still in the observation period."

Before confirming the relationship, I still need to know his father's background. It sounds very powerful.

Before they even sat down at home, Amei said to her, "Cousin, Mr. Su called you just now. When he heard that you were not around, he asked you to call back."

Lu Jiaxin went upstairs to call Su Heyuan back and heard him say that the things had arrived in Pengcheng and would be shipped over tomorrow, so he asked her to make arrangements.

Lu Jiaxin didn't expect it to be so fast, and thought she would have to wait a few more days: "I have already made an agreement with Nie Zhan that these things will be kept in the Nie family's bank."

As for how much money can be mortgaged, she must find an expert to appraise the value. She expects the amount to be 20 to 30 million, and hopes to get what she wants.

Su Heyuan asked jokingly: "Why, have you confirmed your relationship?"

"No, but I agreed to his pursuit. I will only agree to date him if he is sincere enough."

Hearing the secret joy in her words, Su Heyuan smiled and said, "Indeed, if someone is too easy to get, they won't cherish him. But these young men are all from thousands of flowers, so you should be more careful and don't be so foolish as to give everything to someone just because he falls in love with you."

The more you give, the more painful it will be when you break up. It's not that I curse them, but the frequency of breakups between men and women in Hong Kong is quite high, and Nie Zhan is still a bachelor with more temptations around him.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. I won't sacrifice myself for anyone. I will give up if I don't get an equal response."

She loves herself the most, and everyone else has to sit back. But to be honest, she doesn't understand why those who are in love would value a man more than themselves! As for those who are in love, she has always kept as far away from them as possible.
