Chapter 633 - 616: Xin Xin Supermarket Opens (1)
Lu Jiaxin returned to Hong Kong, took a shower, and went to sleep.
Nie Zhan was surprised to know that she was back, mainly because Lu Hongjun hadn’t regained consciousness yet, and he didn’t expect her to return so soon. When he arrived home, Jiaxin had just gotten up, and he asked, "How’s Uncle doing now?"
Lu Jiaxin yawned and said, "Still a bit muddled, but better than when he first woke up. I was tired of taking care of him, so I found an excuse to come back, and I’ll return in half a month."
The company having urgent matters to handle was just an excuse; actually, Lu Jiaxin was reluctant to go to the hospital every day to see Lu Hongjun. She was busy with work and couldn’t take care of him personally, but since everything was arranged, no one criticized her.
Nie Zhan asked, "What about Uncle’s case?"
He also had his subordinates look into the matter, but there were no leads.
Lu Jiaxin was satisfied with the outcome: "No sentencing, but his record will be noted, and all welfare benefits are canceled. Actually, it’s good to lose the pension, so he won’t end up with some dubious job again."
She had already communicated with Xie Kaixiao about the record, expressing that it shouldn’t be noted as it was too embarrassing. Xie Kaixiao didn’t promise anything, just said they would see how it goes.
Nie Zhan was astonished and asked, "Do you mean he might still find someone else?"
Lu Jiaxin found his surprise amusing and said, "What’s so strange? He doesn’t have the conditions, otherwise, five, seven, or even eight marriages wouldn’t be out of the question."
Nie Zhan felt that he and Lu Jiaxin were in the same boat, dealing with such unreliable parents. He never expected maternal love, while Jiaxin, who was cherished from childhood, found herself less favored than the children brought in by her stepmother, a disparity that could be devastating.
Lu Jiaxin, seeing his expression, smiled and said, "Everyone’s growth is painful. But once you get through it, it’s fine. I’m stronger now, and not only can he not hurt me, but he also needs to rely on me."
