Chapter 213: Chapter 202 x Education Chapter 213: Chapter 202 x Education Hearing that Lu Jiaxin would be coming back every weekend, Guh Haifan felt a bit more at ease.
Lu Jiaxin invited him to sit down, then sat down on the bed herself, “Haifan, has anyone bullied you here?”
Guh Haifan shook his head and said, “No, everyone has been very nice to me.”
Lu Jiaxin asked again, “What about Aunt Hong? Has she said anything inappropriate to you?”
Guh Haifan still shook his head, “No. Miss Cousin, Aunt Hong really dotes on me. She warms up a glass of milk for me to drink every night before I sleep, saying that if I keep drinking it, I’ll grow very tall.”
Seeing Lu Jiaxin’s skeptical look, he said, “Miss Cousin, I’m not lying to you. I was eating bland food before because the doctor said my stomach was weak and I should eat less spicy and irritating food. Also, Aunt Hong said that my grandmother had a hard life and asked me to be good to her when I grow up.”
Something moved in Lu Jiaxin’s heart, and she asked, “Besides that, what else did she say?”
Guh Haifan said, “She said I was smart and advised me to study hard so that when I make something of myself I could back up my grandmother. Miss Cousin, Aunt Hong is really nice.”
Hearing the child’s description that life here was okay, could it be that Aunt Hong only targeted herself? But she hadn’t offended her. However, such thoughts only flickered in her mind momentarily – after all, it was just a maid and not worth exhausting too much thought over.
Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, “Studying is your only way out. If there’s something you don’t understand, talk to the tutor and have him explain it to you properly.”
As she spoke, some images flashed through her mind, and her expression became serious, “If the tutor ever lays a hand on you, you must tell your grandmother or Aunt Hong. If you feel embarrassed to tell them, then tell me.”
In the Mainland, there’s a deep taboo regarding sexuality, and education on the subject is lacking. It wasn’t until painful lessons in the future that people began to pay attention to it.
Lu Jiaxin thought she should ask Doctor Xu to give him some basic knowledge about sex, “It’s not just the tutors; there are many people in this world with the hearts of beasts. If you encounter any, you must say no and not endure it, understand?”
The two talked for more than an hour; it was mostly Lu Jiaxin speaking, and Guh Haifan listened attentively. It wasn’t until Ah Mei came to knock on the door and said the tutor had arrived that Guh Haifan went downstairs.
After packing up, Lu Jiaxin originally wanted to inform Guh Xiuxiu, but hearing that she had taken her medicine and gone back to rest, she didn’t disturb her.
Hu Ming dropped Lu Jiaxin off at Fuan Residential Area and helped bring the luggage inside. He was surprised to see someone in the house, “Miss Cousin, who is this…?”
Lu Jiaxin, seeing Feng Lihua wearing an apron and cleaning, casually said, “This is the auntie I found through someone. She’s responsible for the laundry, cooking, and cleaning.”
Hu Ming had no reason to doubt it, and after nodding with a smile at Feng Lihua, he left.
After sending him off, Lu Jiaxin looked at Feng Lihua and asked, “Do you know my identity?
Feng Lihua nodded, “Yes, I know. You’re the granddaughter of the sister of Madam Guh Xiuxiu, the Fourth Aunt. You came over from the Mainland in July and are 16 years old, studying in Senior Middle School 7 at Huaying Middle School.
Lu Jiaxin hummed in response and then asked, “I noticed there’s a two-year gap in your resume. What did you do during those two years?”
She didn’t want to pry into Feng Lihua’s privacy, but as a personal bodyguard, it was crucial to understand her past. This was to make sure that the bodyguard didn’t have enemies who might bring danger to her in the future.
Feng Lihua fell silent for a moment before saying, “I am pregnant, and because I have a child, I don’t want to engage in dangerous work.”
Lu Jiaxin felt there was a contradiction in her words, “If you’re afraid that the child will be left without care in the face of danger, you shouldn’t continue being a bodyguard, you should pursue other work.”
Feng Lihua also wanted to pursue other work, but her expertise was in this area, and simpler jobs paid too low a wage to live on, “Miss Lu, you shouldn’t have any enemies, should you?”
Lu Jiaxin laughed, “I have no enemies, but there are potential dangers.”
Feng Lihua understood, “You’re worried that the He Family might harm you? Unless Madam Guh transfers all her property to you, the He Family wouldn’t act against you. But will Madam Guh give all her property to you? I’ve heard she even brought a nephew from the Mainland.”
A brother’s grandson and a sister’s granddaughter, the former shares the same surname and is closer in blood relations, so it’s quite probable that the inheritance would go to the former.
Lu Jiaxin said, “I don’t know, but even if she did, I wouldn’t take it. But the He Family is quite revolting—I have an aunt whose adopted daughter was schemed against by a He man. Who knows what vile methods they might use against me.”
Even resorted to using despicable tactics like honey traps, Jiaxin thought, showing the He Family had no limits, so she was always on her guard against them.
Feng Lihua looked at her oddly, “So much wealth given to you, and you wouldn’t want it?”
Lu Jiaxin said without hesitation, “I don’t want it, I can earn money myself in the future. But even if I say I don’t want it, the He Family won’t believe me, just in case, I will say you’re hired as my maid.”
Feng Lihua could tell she was speaking the truth, “You’re right, greedy people don’t believe there are those who aren’t interested in money.”
Lu Jiaxin chuckled and said, “That’s incorrect, I love money, but I like to spend the money I earn, I daren’t take undeserved wealth.”
Feng Lihua found her quite amusing, “Don’t worry, I will protect you well.”
After getting everything in order, Lu Jiaxin made a call to Doctor Xu to discuss Guh Haifan’s situation, “The Mainland doesn’t teach this kind of knowledge. Haifan is handsome, if he’s bullied out of ignorance, not to mention the shame, he could carry the trauma for life.”
The child had suffered from malnutrition, with a pale complexion and thin frame. After nearly half a year of care, he now had more color and had gained flesh, and in another year or so, he would definitely become a beautiful young man. Some perverts are into that, so it’s important to ensure the child is aware and cautious, otherwise, he might be taken advantage of without even understanding.
Doctor Xu was surprised, having not expected Lu Jiaxin to be so thoughtful, “Alright, I’m going to perform a follow-up for the old lady later, I will have a serious talk with Young Master Cousin then.”
Lu Jiaxin was just being cautious, but she didn’t expect that the boy would actually encounter a beast in human skin. Fortunately, he remembered Lu Jiaxin’s previous words and quickly called her when he sensed something was wrong.
Lu Jiaxin also asked about Gu Xiuxiu’s illness and was relieved to confirm it was just a common cold.
After finishing her call, Feng Lihua knocked and entered, asking, “Miss, what would you like to eat today? I will go buy it now.”
Lu Jiaxin said, “I’m easy. Sister Feng, just have the meals at school from Monday to Friday, and have auntie prepare dinner, on weekends auntie can cook all day, and you can just prepare my breakfast from now on.”
Feng Lihua let out a sigh of relief, “When will auntie come?”
She could only cook some simple home dishes, barely acceptable in taste. Someone who could afford a bodyguard surely wouldn’t neglect their own palate.
Seeing her expression, Jiaxin couldn’t help but laugh, “She’ll be here Monday. It’s fine, you go buy the groceries and get them ready, I’ll do the cooking.”
