Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire
Chapter 245 - Chapter 245 Chapter 234 The Later Move

Chapter 245: Chapter 234: The Later Move Chapter 245: Chapter 234: The Later Move Aunt Mei waited for her to hang up the phone and said with a wry smile, “I’ve also consulted a lawyer, and the answer is always the same. Miss Cousin, don’t blame the Old Madam for keeping this from you. If the news leaks, the He Family might send the Old Madam to a nursing home.”

Jiaxin said, “Don’t worry, with me here, Aunt won’t be going to a nursing home. Aunt Mei, you also need to take care of yourself, as Aunt will need your care in the future!”

Aunt Mei knew she was kindhearted and would not donate the two million given by the Old Madam. Although she didn’t know where it was donated, it was definitely for a good cause, yet the matter was more complicated than Jiaxin thought.

Jiaxin was puzzled, “What’s so difficult about it?”

Aunt Mei explained, “Once the patriarch finds out about the Old Madam’s illness, he will definitely take her to the old mansion. But the doctors say that in the end, the Old Madam will not be able to take care of herself, and the people at the old mansion will not accommodate her.”

“Miss Cousin, I know that you and Young Master Cousin are filial, but the Old Madam’s wealth will surely be taken over by the patriarch. Without money, you won’t be able to take care of the Old Madam yourself. How would you live then? And you’re not even of age now, so even if you went to court, they wouldn’t support you.”

Money was not the issue, as she currently had over twenty million in assets, but not being of age was a real problem, which is why these people didn’t care about Aunt. Otherwise, they would have noticed it long ago. Jiaxin had seen through the He Family people a while back; they were just eyeing the money in Aunt’s hands, otherwise, why would they come to take her to the old mansion for the New Year.

The issue of her care could be discussed later; the urgent matter was her guardianship with Guh Haifan. Jiaxin asked, “Aunt Mei, has Aunt made arrangements for me and Haifan?”

Aunt Mei said, “She bought you and Young Master Cousin a house and saved an education fund; these were the arrangements made.”

“I’m talking about guardianship. If the He Family finds out about Aunt’s illness, the guardianship of me and Haifan could very well end up in He Zhuliang’s hands. My dad is still around, and while it’s a hassle to bring him over, the He Family can’t do anything to me, but what about Haifan?”

Aunt Mei reassured her, “Miss Cousin doesn’t need to worry, the doctor said that as long as the old lady takes her medication on time, there won’t be any problems.”

Jiaxin hadn’t given it much thought before, but now, knowing the situation, she definitely had to sort out the guardianship issue; otherwise, it would be a big problem, “Have Aunt write a will, the content of which will be to first return the shares to them and after she passes away, let He Zhuliang’s house provide for her in her old age, and then all of her property will go to them. If they are unfilial to her and send her to a nursing home, then donate all of her property.”

Without a second thought, Aunt Mei refused, “After what happened with Miss Yujun, the Old Madam won’t make a will.”

Without a will, once the He Family discovered her illness, both she and Guh Haifan would be put in danger. Jiaxin had finally gotten a chance to live her life and wouldn’t let anyone make her take risks.

Jiaxin said, “Go and tell Aunt that if she doesn’t agree to make a will, then she should relinquish my guardianship. Aunt Mei, I don’t dare gamble on the conscience of the He Family.”

“Miss Cousin…”

Jiaxin waved her hand and said, “No need to say more, there is no room for negotiation on this matter, go back and tell Aunt!”

Although she was somewhat angry with Gu Xiuxiu’s actions, Jiaxin thought about how well she had treated her over the past six months and said, “If Aunt has any secret accounts and worries that the He Family won’t let her stay at home in the future and want to send her to a nursing home, she can entrust the money to me. I guarantee that every penny will be spent on her care.”

If Gu Xiuxiu had money unknown to the He Family, Jiaxin could make it grow; this could ensure that Gu Xiuxiu continued to live in this mansion, with Aunt Mei and professional caregivers to look after her. If Gu Xiuxiu didn’t trust her, Jiaxin would still take care of her, but she would only arrange for her to stay in the large flat she was sending and hire a professional caregiver to assist Aunt Mei. Once Gu Haifan started working, he would take over this responsibility.

Aunt Mei said, “I will tell the Old Madam. Miss Cousin, it’s getting late; you should rest early so as not to tire yourself out.”

Gu Xiuxiu was watching TV in her room, but her mind was clearly not on the program. Seeing Aunt Mei return, she immediately sat up straight

Aunt Mei locked the door from the inside and then walked over to her and said, “Old Madam, Miss Cousin knows about your illness.”

Gu Xiuxiu’s face changed, “How did she find out?”

Only she, Aunt Mei, and the doctor knew about this matter; the doctor had received a benefit and promised not to speak of it. No one from the He Family had discovered where this girl got her information from.

Aunt Mei said with a hint of exclamation, “Young Master Cousin says you’ve recently been forgetful often, Miss Cousin deduced it based on your abnormal behavior over the last six months. Old Madam, Miss Cousin says you should draft a will, leaving all your property to the He family.”

“If I leave my property to these jackals and wolves, I’ll end up destitute on the streets.”

Aunt Mei whispered, “Miss Cousin said that if you don’t draft a will, she hopes you can transfer the guardianship to someone else.”

“They can’t even wait a year?”

“Miss Cousin is also afraid of accidents.”

Guh Xiuxiu fell silent for a long time before asking, “Do you think this girl can be trusted?”

Aunt Mei holding her hand said, “Old Madam, Miss Cousin so powerful, made tens of millions from nothing in two years. I believe she won’t covet your retirement fund.”

Relative to her, Young Master Cousin is more filial and his feelings more sincere, but the problem is he’s too young to handle such matters. Even if he were of age, he couldn’t compete with the He family people. Lu Jiaxin is different; not only is she smart and capable, but she also has a deep relationship with Nie Zhan.

Guh Xiuxiu’s face showed bitterness, “If Ah Heng were still alive, I would not have to worry so much. Alas, I thought I had time to arrange everything, but I didn’t expect the disease to progress so rapidly.”

Aunt Mei considered and then said, “Old Madam, both Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin are good kids, I think you can trust them.”

Apart from trusting these two children, Guh Xiuxiu had no other choice. Her adopted child, Xing Yujun, had betrayed her for a man, and outsiders were even less reliable. But Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin, both of them had good characters and would probably not do anything ungrateful.

Lu Jiaxin had to go to school the next day, so she got up early. When she went downstairs, she saw that Guh Xiuxiu was already having breakfast.

Guh Xiuxiu said, “Breakfast is ready, you can eat before you go back.”

“Okay.”

After having breakfast, Lu Jiaxin was ready to go to school. Guh Xiuxiu stopped her and handed her a prepared bag, “This is a set of clothes I had made for you before the new year, but unexpectedly, you went on vacation abroad as soon as they were ready.”

This time, Lu Jiaxin did not refuse and took the bag straightforwardly, “Thank you, Aunt. Auntie, I’ll come to see you again the day after tomorrow.”

Guh Xiuxiu nodded, “Go ahead!”

Aunt Mei saw Lu Jiaxin out and made a special point at the door, “This clothing, it’s the fabric chosen by the Old Madam; she said you would definitely like it.”

Making a special trip to say such a thing, Lu Jiaxin understood that there must be more to this bag. It would be good if she was willing to trust her.

Lu Jiaxin said, “Aunt Mei, I’ll come see Auntie again in a few days.”

By then, she would bring the documents for changing the guardian over. There was no need to consider the person, it would be Su Heyuan.
