Gu Xiuxiu didn't go downstairs for dinner because she felt unwell. After dinner, Lu Jiaxin wanted to go into the house to see her, but Aunt Mei stopped her.

Aunt Mei whispered: "The old lady fell asleep just now. If you go in now, she will wake her up. Cousin, if you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Lu Jiaxin was dissatisfied with Aunt Hong and didn't have much trust in Aunt Mei. To be precise, she doesn't trust anyone in Gu Zhai now.

When she returned to the room, she opened the drawer to take things out and found that the things in the drawer had been moved. The maids who clean the house will only clean tables, chairs and wipe cabinets. They will not open drawers or pack things in cabinets unless specifically instructed.

Lu Jiaxin held back the attack thinking that Gu Xiuxiu fell asleep, but when she got up the next morning, she called Aunt Hong and Aunt Mei and asked, "My drawers and cabinets have been rummaged through. Who did it?"

Aunt Mei frowned and said nothing.

Honggu said: "Miss Cousin, your room was cleaned by Amei. She told me that your cabinet was messy and the drawers were also messy, so I asked her to clean it up."

Lu Jiaxin was disgusted and spoke rudely: "Those who don't know better think you are the mistress of this house, not a maid."

Honggu's face turned purple: "Miss Cousin, I am the housekeeper here. It is my responsibility to ask the servants to clean the room."

Aunt Mei felt that it was not good to argue, so she whispered: "Miss Cousin, this matter is Aunt Hong's fault. She asked Ami to organize the cabinets and drawers, and she should have asked for your permission first."

Lu Jiaxin turned around and went upstairs to find Gu Xiuxiu and told her about the matter: "Auntie, I told her before that you are not allowed to touch the things in my room when you are cleaning it. She took my words as farts."

Gu Xiuxiu was a little nervous and leaned on the bedside and said, "I'll talk to her later."

Seeing her sick look, Lu Jiaxin was silent for a moment and asked, "Auntie, what is the reason why you can tolerate such a pickpocketing person?"

Gu Xiuxiu still shook her head and said: "Aunt Hong is just getting older and has become a little stubborn, but her heart is still towards me."

When Lu Jiaxin saw this step, she still didn't say anything and frowned tightly.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Seeing that she was coughing badly, Lu Jiaxin walked up and patted her gently on the back. Her original plan was to move out after school. It's just that Gu Xiuxiu was very kind to her and wanted to come back and stay one night a week, but Honggu's behavior was really intolerable to her. But with Gu Xiuxiu's condition, she couldn't even talk about moving out.

Gu Xiuxiu held her hand and said, "Aunt Mei knows you are a good child, but Aunt Mei and Aunt Hong have taken care of me for thirty years, and I can no longer live without them."

Lu Jiaxin lowered her head and said nothing. Through this period of contact, she knew that Gu Xiuxiu was not a confused person. The reason why she defends Hong Gu is not because she really can't let go of her thirty-year relationship, but there should be a deeper reason. She guessed that Gu Xiuxiu had some leverage that He Zhuliang had caught, and that the leverage was fatal, otherwise she would not be so forbearing. But she didn't ask. Curiosity killed the cat. If you knew some secrets, you would be in trouble. In serious cases, you might die.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Honggu said outside: "Old lady, it's time for you to take medicine."

"come in!"

Hong Gu came in with the medicine, put it beside the bed and looked at Lu Jiaxin: "Miss Cousin, please step aside. I want to give the old lady medicine." Lu Jiaxin frowned and said, "How can you take medicine on an empty stomach? ?”

Honggu took the medicine and gently put it in Gu Xiuxiu's mouth, then gave her the water. His movements are very gentle and his expression is very caring. You can't fault him when it comes to taking care of others.

After Gu Xiuxiu finished taking the medicine, Honggu said with a smile: "The doctor told me to take this medicine on an empty stomach, and you can eat it one hour after taking it."

Lu Jiaxin saw that Gu Xiuxiu was not energetic and could not stay any longer: "Auntie, you have a good rest, I'll go down first."

Gu Xiuxiu asked Hong Gu to go out first. After the door was closed, she asked, "Jiaxin, can you keep up with your homework?"

Lu Jiaxin didn't hide anything from her and said, "Mathematics, history and natural science are a bit difficult. I have already called Teacher Jin and asked her to recommend a good teacher to me."

This Teacher Jin was the teacher who tutored her in math before entering school. There are many cram schools and training courses in Hong Kong City, and some of them are very famous and difficult to get into. It's just that what Lu Jiaxin needs is one-on-one tutoring, which is more efficient. As for the price, she could afford it herself, but it was all borne by Gu Xiuxiu.

Gu Xiuxiu also knows that the seventh grade is a very critical time, especially since the Lu family has transferred from the mainland, and she needs the teacher's guidance: "You are at a critical time now. It's a mess here, and you can't read in peace, even if the teacher comes to give you tutoring. It’s inconvenient. Don’t come here anymore on weekends if you have nothing to do. The time saved can be used to read more books.”

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "Auntie, with your current body, how can I not come back?"

Gu Xiuxiu smiled: "Don't worry. I just have a little cold, but it gets better slowly as I get older. The most important thing now is your studies. Time is precious. Try to get admitted to the University of Hong Kong next year."

Lu Jiaxin did not refuse, she just wanted to wait until Gu Xiuxiu recovered from her illness before moving out.

Gu Xiuxiu said in her heart that the children she raised are very filial: "We have Aunt Mei and Aunt Hong here. If I feel uncomfortable, I will ask Dr. Xu to come over. If I feel uncomfortable, I will go directly to the hospital. You can't help here. If you are busy, you should go back and review your homework. Jiaxin, getting admitted to university will be of great help to you in the future."

Those big or wealthy families are very particular. Maybe they don't care much about family status, but the wife they marry must be smart and capable. A person who cannot even pass the college entrance examination has a doubtful IQ and may even affect the next generation. Of course, there are many rich people in Hong Kong who marry celebrities, but this person is basically excluded from the list of inheriting the family business.

Lu Jiaxin said that she will work hard and will definitely be admitted to the University of Hong Kong next year.

The smile on Gu Xiuxiu's face became deeper and deeper: "You can't just talk, you have to put it into action. Okay, go have breakfast quickly, and go back to review your homework after dinner."

Unable to defeat her, Lu Jiaxin could only eat breakfast and go back to the house to pack her things. I may come back to stay occasionally, so I left a change of clothes and packed up everything else.

While Lu Jiaxin was packing her things, Gu Haifan came.

Gu Haifan saw the box on the ground, lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, Aunt Hong said you want to move it away, is it true?"

Lu Jiaxin said with a smile: "It's not that I'm moving away, it's that I'm very nervous about my studies now. My aunt wants me to spend more time reviewing my homework. I will still come here every week in the future."

She didn't worry about Gu Xiuxiu, and Gu Haifan was too young to understand many things, so she had better come over more often.
