Chapter 590: Lu Jihong's Response
Lu Jiaxin asked, "Who is taking care of Second Uncle and Second Aunt now? Si Sao (Fourth Aunt)?"
Wang Xiaojie sighed and said, "Jiacai's wife is now taking the two younger ones to school in the county seat. Your second uncle is doing well and can take care of himself. But with his temper, it's fine if he can move around now, but when he gets older and immobile, no one will want to deal with his grumpiness."
To avoid giving others any leverage, Lu Jiacai and Lu Jiajie's allowance for their elderly years wouldn't be reduced. However, when they reached their seventies and eighties and could no longer be mobile, that might change.
Lu Jiaxin felt nothing for her second uncle and aunt, and it wasn't possible for her to take care of them. She said, "Big Aunt, as long as Big Uncle is around, Lu Hehua and her sister will be taken care of by the family."
Unless Big Uncle passed away before him, then his difficult days would truly arrive. Otherwise, with Big Uncle's protection, Lu Jiacai and Lu Jiajie would support him, and Lu Hehua and her sister wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of caring for him. So whether Fuqi's later years were happy or lonely depended on Big Uncle.
Wang Xiaojie felt that Jiaxin always hit the nail on the head. She said, "Jiaxin, Jiajie has seen the bigger world. Let him come to the engagement too, so we won't be outnumbered and can maintain our momentum."
Lu Jiaxin needed just three words to respond, "No need." She continued, "Big Aunt, Nie Zhan needs my support in his career. Countless people envy him for finding such a lucky girlfriend like me. Having a powerful maternal family is icing on the cake, but it's not a problem if they're not that influential."
"Also, Big Aunt, I've said that I won't meet Fifth Brother until he pays back his debt. I don't want to repeat myself over and over again. If you don't take my words seriously, then we don't need to stay in contact in the future."
Even though Wansheng Real Estate had a debt-to-asset ratio of 70%, the bank wasn't worried that they wouldn't be able to repay their debts. Why? Because her Xin Xin Real Estate was backing them up.
Wang Xiaojie hadn't expected Jiaxin to become so assertive. "Jiaxin, I'm sorry. I... I won't say anything more from now on."
Lu Jiaxin said, "Big Aunt, I know you mean well, but I don't need it. The Nie family is a prestigious family, and I come from a prestigious family too. Nie Zhan and I are a perfect match. So there's no need to bring a crowd to boost our momentum, and there's no need to worry about me being wronged after marrying into the Nie family. No one in the entire Nie family dares to give me any attitude."
Wang Xiaojie was startled. From the sound of it, Jiaxin's wealth was probably on par with Nie Zhan's. However, thinking about Jiaxin's previous generosity, it also made sense. Only with a net worth of several billion could one afford to donate hundreds of millions or even a billion casually.
With this in mind, Wang Xiaojie smiled and said, "Alright, then. At that time, it will be me, Lu Ping, Lu An, your uncle, and Lu Shan, the four of us. As for your Big Uncle and Big Aunt, I'll call them later to ask. If they're willing to come, I'll ask Lu An to go back to our hometown to pick them up."
Bringing Lu Ping and Lu An served two purposes. One was to let the Nie family know that their Lu family wasn't a small one, and the other was to let the two children see the world and gain some experience.
Lu Jiaxin had no objections. It was good for these two children to understand the intricacies of social interactions, especially Lu An. This child had a silver tongue; if he hadn't aspired to become a police officer, she would have considered grooming him for business.
Wang Xiaojie hesitated for a moment before bringing up another matter. "Jiaxin, Lu Ping told me a few days ago that he has a girlfriend at school. I'm happy that he's willing to date, but he's planning to apply for universities abroad, and if he's accepted, he'll be studying overseas for several years. Given his personality, he shouldn't be dating at this critical juncture."
As the eldest son, Lu Ping had more responsibilities and was relatively more stable compared to his younger siblings. Later, under Jiaxin's guidance, he also developed a clear plan for his future. If it had been previously, Wang Xiaojie would have been delighted about him finding a girlfriend. But now, she always felt that something was amiss.
"I talked to your Big Uncle about it, but he thought I was being overly suspicious and that it was just the child's destiny. But... I still felt uneasy, so I went to see that girl. After seeing her, I felt even more uneasy. That girl looks very shrewd."
Lu Jiaxin didn't ask for details; it wasn't necessary. She said, "Big Aunt, I'll give you a number. He will thoroughly investigate that girl's background."
Lu Jihong's Response
Lu Jiaxin inquired, "Who is currently caring for Second Uncle and Second Aunt? Si Sao (Fourth Aunt)?"
Wang Xiaojie sighed and replied, "Jiacai's wife is now taking the two younger ones to school in the county seat. Your second uncle is doing alright and can take care of himself. But with his temperament, it's fine if he can get around now, but when he becomes older and less mobile, no one will want to deal with his grumpiness."
To avoid giving others any leverage, Lu Jiacai and Lu Jiajie's allowance for their elderly years wouldn't be reduced. However, when they reached their seventies and eighties and could no longer be mobile, that might change.
Lu Jiaxin felt nothing for her second uncle and aunt, and it wasn't feasible for her to take care of them. She stated, "Big Aunt, as long as Big Uncle is around, Lu Hehua and her sister will be taken care of by the family."
Unless Big Uncle passed away before him, then his difficult days would truly arrive. Otherwise, with Big Uncle's protection, Lu Jiacai and Lu Jiajie would offer him support, and Lu Hehua and her sister wouldn't be able to withstand the pressure of caring for him. Thus, whether Fuqi's later years were happy or lonely depended on Big Uncle.
Wang Xiaojie felt that Jiaxin always went straight to the heart of the matter. She said, "Jiaxin, Jiajie has seen the bigger world. Let him come to the engagement too, so we won't be outnumbered and can maintain our momentum."
Lu Jiaxin needed just three words to respond, "No need." She continued, "Big Aunt, Nie Zhan needs my support in his career. Countless people envy him for having such a lucky girlfriend like me.

"Also, Big Aunt, I've made it clear that I won't meet Fifth Brother until he repays his debt. I don't want to repeat myself over and over again. If you don't take my words seriously, then we don't need to stay in contact in the future."

So there's no need to bring a crowd to boost our momentum, and there's no need to worry about me being wronged after marrying into the Nie family.

Wang Xiaojie was startled. Judging by her tone, Jiaxin's wealth was probably on par with Nie Zhan's. However, considering Jiaxin's previous generosity, it also made sense. Only with a net worth of several billion could one afford to donate hundreds of millions or even a billion casually.
