Nie Zhan didn't know at first, she had heard Zong Jinghua say it by accident when she went there on vacation. He said distressedly: "You silly girl, why are you working so hard?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Study hard when you are studying, and relax when you are on vacation. I will go back to the mainland tomorrow, and I will fly directly to the Maldives after I have dealt with the mainland affairs. If you have time, come to the Maldives to meet me."

It is now the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in Beijing, with temperatures of -10 to -20 degrees Celsius. It is a time of raging cold winds, and you have to wrap yourself up tightly before going out. Maldives is different, with a tropical climate that is warm and humid all year round, and it was sunny now and in the past.

"Do you want me to go back with you?"

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "When my father gave me his collection, he asked me to buy him a house. Of course, I have to fulfill my promise."

He Bin acted quickly and bought the house within half a month after arriving in Sijiu City. Then he hired someone to renovate the two houses according to Lu Jiaxin's request. Because some places had been painted, Lu Jiaxin left it alone without telling them.

Nie Zhan frowned and said, "I heard from Su Heyuan that your father remarried, and the woman he married later had five children. He is asking you for a house now, and he will definitely ask you for money in the future. Since you made an exception, the amount he will ask for will increase in the future."

After hearing what he said so profoundly, Lu Jiaxin asked, "Did your mother ask you for money?"

Nie Zhan didn't have the idea of ​​keeping family disgrace secret. He said, "Before I started working and earning money, she never gave me a penny. After I started working, she suddenly called me one day and said she needed money urgently, and asked me to transfer her 100,000 yuan."

"You gave it?"

Nie Zhan nodded and said, "She said she needed it urgently, so I thought something happened and transferred it to her. Later I found out that she had her eyes on an antique car and wanted to buy it but didn't have enough money. She asked grandpa and aunt for it but they wouldn't give her anything, so she targeted me."

"Half a year later, she asked me for money again. She asked for 200,000 yuan, so I didn't give her any."

"You didn't give it to her, and she scolded you?"

Nie Zhan shook his head and said, "No, she just complained that her life was hard. Her hardship was not caused by me. On the contrary, it was because of her irresponsibility that I spent my childhood without my mother's company."

Lu Jiaxin felt that it was quite miserable for a rich girl to end up like this: "Doesn't your grandfather give her living expenses?"

"Yes, I give her two million Hong Kong dollars every year as living expenses. It was she who squandered it extravagantly, so later on I had to pay her monthly."

Lu Jiaxin felt that it was a waste of her feelings. She was making two million a year and still complaining that her life was hard. She was asking for it and didn't deserve sympathy.

She asked, "If your grandfather is gone, does that mean you have to give her living expenses every year?"

Nie Zhan shook his head and said, "No, I'll take it from the family fund. If she gets sick in the future, I'll ask the best doctor in the world to give her the best medicine, and I won't give her a penny."

When he was a trader, he didn't have much money. When he first joined, his salary was only a few thousand green coins. The money he gave to Nie Manlin was his pocket money. When he was a child, he made 10,000 yuan a month, 30,000 yuan a month in middle school, and 50,000 yuan a month after college. He didn't spend all the money but saved it for investment.

One hundred thousand yuan was not a large sum of money for him, but after knowing what the money was used for, he became very angry and vowed never to give Nie Manlin a penny again.

Lu Jiaxin thought this decision was a good one: "I'm different from you. He loved me very much when I was a child and gave me a good life. Even now, he has given me most of his collection. So I can't just ignore him. But we have already signed an agreement. I own the house I bought with my money, and he only has the right to live in it. In addition, I will hire an aunt to take care of his daily life. He will be responsible for his living expenses, and I will take care of medical expenses and other expenses."

Nie Zhan nodded and said, "Well, just make sure they get medical care in their later years and when they get sick. Don't give them money."

Lu Jiaxin smiled: "Then we really are in the same boat."

Nie Zhan disagreed with her idea: "Don't think like that. I don't pity you, and neither do you. It's them who are pitiful. Selfish people will eventually pay for their actions."

Lu Jiaxin gave a thumbs up. Only a mentally strong person would say such a thing. She was lacking in this aspect and needed to learn from Nie Zhan.

The next day, Lu Jiaxin went to buy bird's nest and other nourishing products before going to Gu's house. She saw Gu Xiuxiu and Gu Haifan telling them that they were going back to Sijiu City.

Gu Haifan couldn't bear to leave her and asked, "Cousin, when will you come back?"

Lu Jiaxin didn't say she was going abroad for vacation, she just said she would be back before the Lantern Festival and celebrate the Lantern Festival with them then."

Gu Xiuxiu thought she was going back to celebrate the New Year with Lu Hongjun. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. No matter how many faults he had, he was still her father. Once she calmed down, she would forgive him. "Jia Xin, be careful on the road."

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Aunt, next April, would you like to go to Sijiu City to live for a while? The big house you bought for me was renovated last September, and I asked He Bin to buy furniture and appliances, and the air conditioner was installed."

"If you feel bored staying at home, ask Aunt Mei and the others to take you to a nearby park. Many of the parks in the city were former royal parks and are very beautiful."

Gu Xiuxiu, who had been staying at home every day and rarely went out, was a little moved by what she heard. She hesitated and said, "Will this be inconvenient for me to see a doctor and take medicine?"

Lu Jiaxin said, "It's very convenient to see a doctor. We live not far from Union Hospital and can get there in a short time by car. As for the medicine, you don't need to change it. Ask the doctor to prescribe more and take it with you."

There are very few cars in the mainland now, so you don’t have to worry about traffic jams, it’s very convenient.

"I'll think about it."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are still three months left, you can take your time to think about it."

Gu Haifan held Lu Jiaxin's arm, with hope in his eyes: "Cousin, when can I come to your house to play?"

Lu Jiaxin patted his shoulder and said, "My current house is rented, there's nothing to see. When the house I bought is ready, I'll come pick you and your aunt up when I move in. If you like it there, you and your aunt can stay for a few days."

It was impossible to live together for a long time. She and Gu Xiuxiu had different schedules, different diets, and even more so, they couldn't communicate. Moreover, Gu Xiuxiu often lost her mind. She could tolerate it for three to five days, but she couldn't stand it for a long time.

Gu Haifan happily agreed.

Gu Xiuxiu's mood also became very good when she heard this, which showed that Jiaxin had no estrangement towards her because of what happened before.
