Mrs. Lu told Lu Jiaxin that Lu Hongjun and Tang Sufen only had a wedding but did not get a marriage certificate: "What Lao Wu said about not getting a marriage certificate is different from getting a marriage certificate. I don't know what the difference is."
Now, as long as they hold a wedding banquet, not only their relatives and friends will recognize them as a couple, but even the country will recognize it as a de facto marriage. So it doesn't matter whether they get a marriage certificate or not, so she doesn't understand Lu Jiajie's request.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Actually, there is no difference."
She didn't want to listen to Mrs. Lu talking about Lu Hongjun all the time, so she took the initiative to ask about Xiao Qiu.
Xiaoqiu was standing nearby at this time, and when she heard Lu Jiaxin asking about her, she immediately grabbed the phone and started chatting with her. She first talked about the recent business, and then said that she wanted to rent the store next door to sell children's clothing, but Lu Ersao and others disagreed.
Lu Jiaxin thought she had a lot of ideas and encouraged her: "Xiaoqiu, you are still young and don't have to be afraid of losing money or failure. Just do what you want to do. Don't give up because of some concerns, or you will regret it later."
"Thank you, aunt."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jiaxin stretched and prepared to call Nie Zhan to dinner, but Xiaoxiao told him that Nie Zhan had returned to the company.
Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin went back to her room to continue reading. When Nie Zhan came over at about six o'clock, the first thing he said when they met was, "He Hanxuan is gone."
Lu Jiaxin was stunned at first, then she understood what he meant: "How come it's gone?"
Nie Zhan said with a sullen face, "Yesterday he was having dinner with a few friends. On the way back, a few thugs rushed out and hacked him. One of the knives hit him right in the vitals. He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, but died before he even got there."
Lu Jiaxin frowned when she heard this: "This is revenge. Was he implicated by his father, or was it his own fault?"
Nie Zhan was also unclear: "If you want to know, I'll ask my friends."
Lu Jiaxin waved her hands, indicating that favors were not for this kind of thing: "He's dead, and the Hong Kong media should be interested in his affairs and will dig out the reasons."
In a case like this, it was either a murder of passion or revenge. Whatever the reason was, it had nothing to do with her. She could just watch the fun.
The two talked about enrollment while eating. Nie Zhan told her that the school did not provide accommodation, and it would be better to rent an apartment near the school, so that if she was tired or it was too late, she would not have to go back.
Hong Kong City University provides accommodation, but the number of dormitories is limited, so if you want to live on campus, you have to apply. There are many applicants, but the number of places is limited, so you have to rely on your luck. Those who fail to apply can only rent a house outside the school. There are apartments outside the school, but the cost is higher than the school dormitory.
Lu Jiaxin knew about this, and with her conditions, she naturally would not apply for a school dormitory: "Don't rent it for now, let's talk about it after school starts."
It depends on the situation! If you need it, rent it; if you don't need it, go home.
Nie Zhan said: "I will accompany you to report on the first day of school."
"No, I can go by myself."
"No, I have to be with you at such an important moment."
Seeing his serious expression, Lu Jiaxin was stunned at first, but then she understood. Accompanying him to report was just a convenience, and the purpose was to claim sovereignty.
"good."
The next day, after breakfast, Lu Jiaxin went to Gu's house. As soon as she got off the car, she saw Hong Gu. She frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
Hong Gu was very panicked when she saw her, and she stuttered a little: "Cousin, I heard that the old lady moved back, so I came to visit her."
Seeing the clothes she was wearing, Lu Jiaxin said expressionlessly, "Do you think I would believe this nonsense? Tell me, who asked you to come back?"
The sun was very strong at this time, and Lu Jiaxin walked in with a stern face. When she arrived at the living room, she sat down, threw her bag aside, and leaned back.
Aunt Mei came over quickly and said respectfully, "Miss cousin, you are here."
Lu Jiaxin raised her chin towards the door and asked, "What's going on? Didn't I say I wouldn't hire her? Why, are you ignoring my words?"
Although she knew that Hong Gu did not betray Gu Xiuxiu, but was trying to paralyze He Zhuliang and the others, Lu Jiaxin hated her for her previous attitude towards her. The betrayal was fake, but she really looked down on the mainlanders and wanted to pua her.
Mei Gu didn't expect to find out so quickly: "My cousin, the old lady missed Hong Gu and kept calling for her. I couldn't persuade her, so I asked Hong Gu to come back. Unexpectedly, after seeing Hong Gu, the old lady wouldn't let her go, so she asked her to stay for a while."
"Stay for now?"
Mei Gu explained: "Hong Gu knew that you didn't like her and wouldn't let her stay in Gu's house, but she just wanted to spend more time with the old lady and was ready to leave before you came back."
After saying this, she begged, "Cousin, please let Hong Gu stay! She takes better care of the old lady than I do, and is better than that nurse Chen."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hong Gu walked in and knelt in front of Lu Jiaxin: "Cousin, please let me stay, even if you don't pay me. Cousin, I really don't feel at ease to leave when the old lady is like this."
Lu Jiaxin looked at the two people and said coldly, "Aunt Mei, you make me look like a bad person."
Aunt Mei was startled and didn't dare to plead for mercy anymore.
Lu Jiaxin was impatient to see this: "Hurry up and get up! This is a new society. You are just hiring slaves, not ancient slaves. Don't kneel down at every turn."
Seeing that she couldn't get up, Qian Xiaoxiao stepped forward and forcibly pulled her up.
"Where's my aunt?"
Aunt Mei bowed and said, "The old lady was just loosening the soil in the yard. She was tired and went back to the house to rest. My cousin went to the bookstore to buy books and needs some reference books right away."
Lu Jiaxin asked about Gu Xiuxiu's physical condition. After knowing that she was in good health and had not been sick for more than a month, she nodded slightly.
After sitting for a while, Lu Jiaxin didn't see Caretaker Chen and couldn't help but ask.
Aunt Mei hesitated and said, "Cousin, Nurse Chen said she had something to do at home the night before yesterday and went back. I didn't ask much at the time, but just asked her to come back the next morning, but she hasn't come yet."
"Miss, when you hired her, you agreed that she would take four days off every month. But she has already taken six days off this month, and she finds all kinds of excuses to shirk when asked to keep watch at night."
He is paid a high salary but refuses to do anything. We definitely don't want such a person. Lu Jiaxin said as soon as she heard it: "I will fire Chen the nurse and hire someone who is responsible and responsible."
Aunt Mei sighed, fearing that if she angered Lu Jiaxin, she would be fired as well.
Lu Jiaxin still had to go look at houses and couldn't wait for Gu Xiuxiu to wake up. But before leaving, she looked at Hong Gu and said, "Since you said you are willing to take care of your aunt even if you don't want a salary, then stay!"
Even if she didn't like it, she couldn't deny that she took better care of Gu Xiuxiu than those caregivers. After all, they had been friends for more than 30 years. Not paying her was a test to see how long she could hold out. If she could hold out for more than three months, she would be allowed to stay.
When Hong Gu heard this, she thanked him happily.
