Dong Jiajia saw a car in the distance, waved her hand in that direction, and then said, “My driver has come to pick me up. What about you? Has your driver come yet? If not, I can give you a lift.”
“Thank you, but there’s no need. I’ve bought a house in the Fuan Residential Area, and I can just walk over.”
Dong Jiajia was initially surprised, but then smiled and said, “That’s quite good, no need to go back and forth, the time saved can be used for revision.”
She merely had her driver pick her up, whereas Lu Jiaxin had outright bought a house nearby. Lu Jiaxin was even wealthier than she had thought.
“That’s what I think too.”
“I have to go, see you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Lu Jiaxin could not possibly take Dong Jiajia’s word for it, so she called He Bin, “Mr. He, can you get the student records for Senior Middle School 7 (9) class? I need them.”
Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.
The reason she approached him was because He Bin had extensive connections and underworld ties, and he also showed goodwill toward her. Of course, she would not let him help for nothing.
He Bin said, “The simple stuff is easy to get, anything too detailed will take time.”
Lu Jiaxin replied, “It doesn’t need to be too detailed, just their family backgrounds will do. However, I would like more detailed information on Cui Zhihui and Dong Jiajia.”
Without asking why, He Bin said, “Alright, I’ll collect the information for you as soon as possible.”
“Thanks for your trouble.”
He Bin said it was a small matter and not any trouble at all, “Miss Cousin, yesterday Young Master Haixuan came to me, asking about you and Young Master Cousin buying a house. They’ve found out, and I couldn’t deny it.”
Lu Jiaxin exhaled a breath of turbid air; these people really had their eyes on Aunt’s wealth, “The house has been transferred to my name, they’ve been sending people to watch Aunt, so it’s normal they would know.”
These people don’t think about working and earning their own money, always coveting an old lady’s money, really fucking despicable and vile.
“Does Aunt know about this?”
“I told the old lady, and she said she would take care of it,” said He Bin. He brought this up particularly to draw Lu Jiaxin’s attention to the issue.
Lu Jiaxin hummed in response, “Since Aunt doesn’t want me to know, I’ll pretend I don’t know.”
The next day at school, Lu Jiaxin found that the way her classmates looked at her was different; the students sitting in front and behind her also ignored her. Lu Jiaxin didn’t care, as she came to aim for university admissions, not to make friends. As for being isolated, she was an adult, not really sixteen years old, so such petty tricks couldn’t hurt her.
Two days later, He Bin brought over the information he had gathered for Lu Jiaxin.
After reading through the information, Lu Jiaxin fell silent. Dong Jiajia said that Cui Zhihui’s father was a gambler, which led to his mother divorcing him and taking the younger son away. That was not wrong, but the sequence was reversed. It was Cui Zhihui’s mother who first divorced Mr. Cui and took the younger son with her, then remarried within a month.
What was weird was that her youngest son looked very much like the man she had remarried. And after the divorce, Mr. Cui became addicted to gambling. Without money to pay his gambling debts, he embezzled public funds and was caught and put in prison. At that time, her eldest daughter was studying in Senior Middle School 6 and was forced to quit school to work and support her younger siblings’ schooling. Just a sixteen year old girl with no social experience, she couldn’t afford to support three younger siblings’ education and was calculated into taking the wrong path.
He Bin said, “Have you made an enemy of Cui Zhihui?”
Lu Jiaxin replied, “No enmity. It’s Dong Jiajia who said she’s very scary. A classmate previously offended her and was forced to quit school and stop studying. These past two days, her attitude hasn’t changed much, but the classmates around me, including those sitting nearby, have been unfriendly toward me.”
Although they hadn’t interacted much, Lu Jiaxin felt that Cui Zhihui didn’t seem like the domineering type. Rather, it was Dong Jiajia who didn’t appear as kind as she seemed, to put it precisely, quite scheming.
He Bin said, “You, a girl from the mainland, wearing a luxury watch, living in a nice house, while she, a local from Hong Kong, lives in public housing and has a hard life—she must have a lot of dissatisfaction. However, those like Cui Zhihui who wear their thoughts on their faces are not to be feared. The real fear is those who appear friendly but harbor ill intentions.”
That really hit the nail on the head.
After seeing He Bin off, she called Su Heyuan and discussed Dong Jiajia and Cui Zhihui with him, “One of these two is up to no good, I need to find a bodyguard.”
Su Heyuan agreed with her decision, “Then hire two bodyguards, they surely won’t kidnap you.”
Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, “Two is too many, one is enough. There are often police patrols outside the school, with a bodyguard to stall for time, the patrol will arrive.”
“Then after school tomorrow, I’ll take you to the security company,” Su Heyuan said. It was a good opportunity to meet her and discuss starting a business together since she was only free on weekends due to school.
Lu Jiaxin hummed in agreement before saying, “Once our company is established, we can hire Xiaoxiao to work under its name so she can come over to protect me in Hong Kong.”
Su Heyuan mentioned the company was already registered and as soon as the other procedures were handled, Qian Xiaoxiao could come over, “And what about Xue Mao? Should we also bring Xue Mao over here?”
Lu Jiaxin waved her hand and said, “No need, let him stay and learn cooking with the master chef. He likes cooking, and it would be great for him to become a chef one day.”
After hanging up, Lu Jiaxin felt Su Heyuan was moving too slowly, when they meet, she needed to remind him to speed up. Directly acquiring a garment factory would be much faster than starting one from scratch.
During the break the next day, Dong Jiajia pulled Lu Jiaxin aside and suggested they go talk to the teacher about changing seats together, “Cui Zhihui and the others are ostracizing you. We can go to our class teacher, if you sit with me, then she can’t bully you.”
Lu Jiaxin smiled and thanked her, “They’re not ostracizing me; there’s no need to change seats.”
Through the information from He Bin, she knew Dong Jiajia’s father was a judge, and her mother was a primary school teacher. She shared similarities with Cui Zhihui in that both were excellent students, and their parents were divorced. The difference was Dong Jiajia’s father remarried and had two more sons, whereas her mother didn’t remarry and lived with two daughters.
Dong Jiajia looked at her in astonishment, “They are ostracizing you now. If you don’t take action, they will start bullying you next.”
Lu Jiaxin laughed and said, “If they dare to bully me, I’ll tell the teacher. If the teacher doesn’t care, I’ll call a lawyer over. I’m sure when the lawyer comes, the teacher will take action.”
Dong Jiajia felt that she wasn’t playing by the rules, “If you change your mind, just tell me, and I’ll go with you to talk to the class teacher.”
“Thank you, but I think I won’t need that,” said Lu Jiaxin. Those who are bullied usually lack self-confidence, are emotionally fragile, and have no one to care for them. But in Hong Kong, where money is king, bullies generally don’t dare to mess with the children of wealthy families; otherwise, lawyers can make them pay dearly.
Lu Jiaxin wasn’t afraid, but she was worried about Gu Haifan being ostracized too. That child hadn’t experienced as much as her, so she needed to remind her Aunt and Aunt Mei to pay more attention to him and get to know his school life better. That way, if anyone bullied him, they would know right away.
