Pitt contacted several tabloid reporters, spending several hundred dollars, but couldn't get any useful information.
Since it cannot be confirmed that Zhang Guixiang is hospitalized, it is wrong to report that Lu Wanqing did not go to the hospital to visit her adoptive mother to repay her kindness.
However, he did learn that someone had seen Zhang Guixiang's daughter in front of the hair salon, dressed provocatively, and speculated that she was doing something bad.
Pete went to the barbershop to ask Lu Jiajia about the situation, but Lu Jiajia was very enthusiastic when she saw a foreigner. She took his hand and led him inside.
Pete, who doesn't speak Chinese, thought she was trying to get him to get a haircut, so he didn't refuse too much, thinking that the translator would be there soon. But to his surprise, Lu Jiajia led him directly to the back room.
“Ms. Lu, I would like to ask you some questions,” he said with a smile in English.
Although Lu Jiajia had been with Frank for so long, Frank always spoke broken Chinese, and she hadn't learned English.
Pete rattled off a string of words, and she only understood a few.
She assumed that since the man had followed her into the house, he must have wanted to have sex with her, so she gave him a flirtatious wink and started taking off her clothes.
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" Pete yelled and rushed out of the house.
He's a loving husband, how could he easily sleep with another woman?
Although he had been in China for several months and hadn't had any meat, he still couldn't bring himself to take that step. Of course, Lu Jiajia's appearance was really average now; she hadn't taken good care of herself after plastic surgery, and with her time in jail and hospitalization, the number of men she could attract was really limited.
Pete ran out, and the translator followed.
He explained the situation to the translator, who suppressed a laugh and said:
“Mr. Pete, if you have any needs, I can help you find a better one. The quality at this kind of barbershop is not good.”
Pete smiled knowingly: "We'll talk about it later. Go and call Ms. Lu out; I want to ask her a few questions."
The translator quickly complied.
Lu Jiajia came out dressed, her face filled with anger:
"If you don't want to come inside, then don't! You're such a killjoy and a waste of my time."
However, when she heard the translator say that she could get money by answering questions, she smiled extremely obsequiously.
"Feel free to ask any questions!"
Pete asked her to confirm Lu Wanqing's matter, and she was overjoyed after hearing it.
“You’re right, my mom is in the hospital right now, I can take a picture for you.”
That Lu Wanqing lived in the Lu family for eighteen years. My mother was sick, and she didn't even visit you once, nor did she contribute a single penny!
In short, I can vouch for all of this. Whatever you need, I can get it for you.
Pete was delighted and asked the translator to tell her to take some photos of Zhang Guixiang.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiajia smiled insincerely:
"Of course. But the money I just received was for asking questions. If you want photos, you'll need to pay an additional 500 yuan. Foreigners have plenty of money; they certainly won't care about this small amount. Don't translate the last sentence."
The translator was hired by Pete, so how could she not know how to translate? Pete didn't expect her to ask for such an exorbitant amount, so he held up two fingers and said, "Two hundred dollars, that's the most I can ask for."
How could Lu Jiajia possibly miss this opportunity to extort money? She refused to back down.
The two sides tugged at each other for a while, but in the end, Pete surrendered.
Well, as long as I can get the photos, this amount of money is really nothing.
However, they seriously underestimated Lu Jiajia's shamelessness. She paid 500 yuan for a bunch of photos without her face showing, which were completely useless.
"How could you do this? When you sent me the photo, you didn't say it had to be a front view! If you want a front view, you'll have to pay an extra hundred."
Pete thought to himself that he had already spent five hundred, so one hundred wouldn't make a difference.
Later, Lu Jiajia's photos didn't capture the hospital's treatment equipment, so she asked him for another hundred yuan.
Pete is a very meticulous thinker. He wanted to prove the blood relationship between Lu Jiajia and Zhang Guixiang, so he thought of doing a paternity test for the two of them.
"Want my and my mom's hair? Sure, but first, give me a thousand yuan." Lu Jiajia stated her position.
What does this mean? It means they suspect she's not Zhang Guixiang's daughter!
Originally, they wanted to do something to exclude the blood relationship between Lu Wanqing and Zhang Guixiang, but Lu Jiajia made it clear that she couldn't get Lu Wanqing's hair, so they had to give up.
Lu Jiajia was willing to risk entering the ward for the sake of a thousand yuan, and went close to Zhang Guixiang to pluck a few hairs from her hair.
While Zhang Guixiang's daughter-in-law went to the cafeteria to get food, she quickly entered the room and started pulling Zhang Guixiang's hair.
"Ah~" Zhang Guixiang, who hadn't responded for a long time, suddenly felt a sharp pain in her scalp and let out a weak scream.
Qiuya brought over the food and saw Lu Jiajia sitting opposite Zhang Guixiang. Enraged, she rushed in and yelled:
"What are you doing? Didn't you say you didn't want this family anymore? What are you doing here?"
She used to take photos secretly outside the window, but she never expected to be caught this time.
"I just saw some dirt on Mom's hair and wanted to remove it," she made up an excuse.
Qiuya's face still held lingering anger as she told her to leave immediately, or she would tell the Lu brothers.
After taking care of the patient at the hospital for a few days, the two brothers finally realized how difficult it was to care for someone. Every time they came, they would tell her about Lu Jiajia's actions towards her.
Just as the two were arguing, Zhang Guixiang suddenly asked, "Where is this?"
Qiuya hurriedly went over:
"Mom, you're awake?"
"And who are you?" Zhang Guixiang asked, confused.
Qiuya conducted the experiment again and discovered that Zhang Guixiang probably had amnesia.
He didn't even recognize Lu Jiajia anymore.
Lu Jiajia thought to herself, "Zhang Guixiang is already like this, how can I compete for the house in the future? It's better to get the paternity test report."
She excitedly took her own and Zhang Guixiang's hair and handed it to Pete.
"Pete, could you give me a copy of the report once it's ready?" she asked Pete.
Pitt smiled:
"Five hundred dollars for a report."
In order to keep a copy of the report for herself, Lu Jiajia had no choice but to reluctantly take out five hundred yuan.
Since it was given to her by Pete anyway, she didn't lose anything, and she couldn't console herself with that.
Soon, the report came out, confirming that Lu Jiajia and Zhang Guixiang were indeed related by blood, and she received the report as she had hoped.
She was thinking that after Zhang Guixiang died, she would rely on this group to fight for the inheritance!
When Pete saw the report, he thought with disdain, "What is this Lu Jiajia? If he hadn't asked her to take the photos, I probably wouldn't have even gone to see her!"
Soon, the Red Top Club held a meeting, and the entire top floor of the hotel was bustling with activity as people from all walks of life came to build their networks.
Pete was unexpectedly led into the banquet hall.
Upon seeing a member with a red hat, they would start exchanging business cards to indicate that they wanted to get to know each other.
His eyes lit up especially after he first saw Lu Wanqing...
