Chapter 344 Winter Vacation
Time flies so fast, and it’s winter vacation in a blink of an eye. Lu Jiaxin has not relaxed for a moment in the past six months. She has tutoring in the evenings and weekends. Hard work also pays off, and I completed all the courses for an academic year in half a year.
Nie Zhan didn't know at first that she overheard Zong Jinghua say it when she was on vacation. He said with great distress: "You silly girl, why are you working so hard?"
Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "Study hard when you're studying, and relax when you're on vacation. I'm going back to the mainland tomorrow, and I'll fly directly to the Maldives after I've taken care of things in the mainland. If you have time, come to the Maldives to join me. "
It is minus one to twenty degrees in Sijiu City in the twelfth lunar month, and the cold wind is raging. You have to wrap yourself in rice dumplings when going out. The Maldives is different. It has a tropical climate that is warm and humid all year round. It is also sunny now and in the past.
"Do you want me to go back with you?"
Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "My dad made a request when he gave me his collection. He asked me to buy him a house. Naturally, the promise must be fulfilled."
He Bin acted quickly and bought the house within half a month of going to Sijiu City. He then hired people to repair the two houses according to Lu Jiaxin's requirements. Because some areas were painted, Lu Jiaxin left it alone without telling them.
Nie Zhan frowned and said: "I heard from Su Heyuan that your father married again, and the woman he married later had five children. He wants a house from you now, and he will definitely ask you for money in the future. You made an exception. , the amount required will be more and more in the future.”
After hearing what he said so profoundly, Lu Jiaxin asked, "Is your mother asking you for money?"
Nie Zhan had no intention of publicizing his family's scandal. He said: "Before I worked to make 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 it to her. One hundred thousand dollars.”
"You gave it?"
Nie Zhan nodded and said: "She said it was urgently needed at the time, so I thought something had happened and transferred it to her. Later I found out that she had fallen in love with an antique car and wanted to buy it but didn't have enough money. I asked my grandfather and aunt for it, but they couldn't get it. Yes, so he focused on me."
"Half a year later, she asked me for money again, asking for 200,000 yuan, but I didn't give it to her."
"She scolded you if you didn't give it?"
Nie Zhan shook his head and said: "That's not true. I just complained that I had a hard life. Her hardship was not caused by me. On the contrary, it was because of her irresponsibility that I was not accompanied by my mother in my childhood."
Lu Jiaxin felt that it was quite miserable for a wealthy daughter to fall into this situation: "Don't your grandfather give her living expenses?"
"Yes, I will give her two million Hong Kong dollars every year as living expenses. She was squandering it on her own. Later, she was given monthly payments."
Lu Jiaxin felt that her feelings were wasted. Making two million a year and claiming that he has a hard life is purely self-inflicted and does not deserve sympathy.
She asked: "If your grandfather passes away, do you need to give her living expenses every year?"
Nie Zhan shook his head and said: "No, get it from the family fund. If she gets sick in the future, I will ask the best doctors in the world to give her the best medicine. I will not give her any more money."
He didn't have much money when he was a trader, and his salary when he first started was only a few thousand green coins. The money given to Nie Manlin was his pocket money. When he was a child, he earned 10,000 yuan a month, in middle school he earned 30,000 yuan a month, and after college he earned 50,000 yuan a month. He did not spend all the money but saved it for investment.
One hundred thousand yuan was not a big sum to him, but after knowing the purpose of the money, he was very angry and vowed never to give Nie Manlin another penny.
Lu Jiaxin thinks this decision is 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 handed over most of his collection to me. So I can't ignore him. But we have signed an agreement before. I own the house I paid for, and he only has the right to live in it. In addition, he will hire an aunt to take care of his daily life. He will be responsible for his own living expenses. As for medical expenses and other expenses, I will take care of them."
Nie Zhan nodded and said, "Well, just ensure that they can get treatment and care for their old age and illness. No money will be given."
He would rather use the money for charity than give any of it to her. Of course, he doesn't interfere with the money given by the family foundation.
Lu Jiaxin smiled: "Then we are really in the same boat."
Nie Zhan disagreed with her idea: "Don't think so. I'm not pitiful, and you're not pitiful either. 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 is lacking in this area and needs to learn from Nie Zhan.
The next day, Lu Jiaxin first went to buy bird's nest and other tonics, and then went to Gu Zhai. When they saw Gu Xiuxiu and Gu Haifan, they told 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 did not say that she was going to go on vacation abroad. She only said that she would come 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, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. No matter how many mistakes she made, it was her biological father. She would forgive him when her anger subsided: "Jiaxin, please pay attention to safety on the road."
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said: "Auntie, do you want to go to Sijiu City to live for a while next April? The big house you bought for me was renovated last September, and I asked He Bin to buy furniture, home appliances, and air conditioning. Also installed."
"If you get bored staying at home, ask Aunt Mei and the others to take you for a walk in a nearby park. Many of the parks in Forty-Nine City were once royal parks and are very beautiful."
Gu Xiuxiu, who stayed at home every day and rarely went out, was a little moved by what she heard. She hesitated and said, "Will it be inconvenient for me to see a doctor and take medicine?"
Lu Jiaxin said, "It is very convenient to see a doctor. The place where we live is not far from Union Hospital. It takes a short drive to get there. 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 there is no need to worry about traffic jams. It is very convenient.
"I'll think about it."
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry. There are still three months. You can think about it slowly."
Gu Haifan took Lu Jiaxin's arm, with hope in his eyes: "Cousin, when can I go to your house to play?"
Lu Jiaxin patted his shoulder and said, "My current house is rented, there is nothing to see. When the house I bought is ready, I will come to 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."
Living together for a long time is impossible. She and Gu Xiuxiu have different lifestyles, different diets, and they can't communicate their thoughts. Moreover, Gu Xiuxiu often lost consciousness. She could endure 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 better after hearing this, which showed that Jiaxin didn't have any estrangement with her because of the previous incident.
