Chapter 174 Kneeling for Her
The communication went much more smoothly than Jiang Qin had imagined, and the nanny arrangement was thus finalized.
My aunt's surname is Zhou, her given name is Liqin, she is from the north, she has a straightforward and honest personality, and she is also very sensible and speaks in a pleasant way.
Aunt Zhou told her to just call her Aunt Zhou, and after chatting on the phone for almost an hour, Jiang Qin learned about Aunt Zhou's situation and couldn't help but feel quite moved.
Like her, Aunt Zhou's decision to go abroad to work as a nanny was also due to the many major changes she had experienced in her life over the years.
She was born into a poor family in the countryside. Because she was a girl, her biological parents gave her away after she was born.
When she was in her teens, her adoptive parents had her late in life and began to dislike her because she was a girl, so they kicked her out of their home.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhou was a good student, and her teacher took pity on her and paid for her to finish junior high school. However, later, she had a conflict with her family over the matter of sponsoring her schooling. Not wanting to be scolded for being a good person, Aunt Zhou ran away one night.
Using his sweet talk, he managed to hitch a ride to the south.
Due to her genes, she was taller than most girls from the south, and she could lie to people that she was an adult, which actually worked. She then started doing all sorts of odd jobs, such as washing dishes in the kitchen, handing out flyers, and working as a waitress. As long as it wasn't dangerous, she would do it if it paid.
Later, when she got older, she went to work in a factory, and then she met her ex-husband and fell in love.
She thought she had finally found her home after years of wandering, but little did she know that her ex-husband, who seemed honest and simple, was actually more cunning than anyone else.
She thought she and her ex-husband got married because they loved each other, but little did she know that her ex-husband only valued her for being hardworking, capable, and skilled. He thought that marrying her would save the family money and that she was a good wife candidate, which is why he treated her well and married her.
Not only that, her ex-husband also suffered from oligospermia, but because he felt it was very shameful, he refused to seek treatment and kept the secret very well. She only found out many years later.
In those years when she was unaware of the truth, her ex-husband watched helplessly as she couldn't conceive after many years of marriage because of him, and was disliked and insulted by her mother-in-law and her ex-husband's entire family. He watched her suffer a lot, having to take medicine and get injections.
Because of the long-term medication she took to prepare her body for pregnancy, she gained weight and became much less attractive over those years. The once cheerful, optimistic, and beautiful girl developed breast nodules, two of them quite large, and later underwent surgery on both.
To everyone's surprise, at the end of last year, her ex-husband cheated on her!
That day, while shopping with her best friend, Aunt Zhou witnessed her ex-husband buying a gold bracelet for his mistress at the mall, using their joint property. The conversation between the mistress and her ex-husband was so disgusting that she wanted to slap him on the spot.
But for the sake of what's to come, Aunt Zhou endured it. However, enduring it for the sake of the bigger picture was unacceptable; she couldn't endure it indefinitely.
After learning that the man she had always thought was honest and upright was actually such a disgusting scumbag, Aunt Zhou was devastated but quickly began to investigate. Several months later, her efforts paid off, and she found out everything.
One of the reasons was that her ex-husband had oligospermia, which was the real reason why she was infertile for many years after marriage!
What followed was a burst of exhilarating energy.
After the incident, her ex-husband's family was also shocked, and Aunt Zhou soon went through the procedures and obtained her divorce certificate.
Because Aunt Zhou had a wide network of connections, the behavior of her ex-husband and his mistress spread far and wide, causing them to lose face.
But because of all that she went through, Aunt Zhou spent the whole year healing herself and recuperating, traveling and living in several tourist cities in China.
A month ago, she thought about her childhood dream of traveling abroad someday. After much deliberation, she decided to take action now while she was still relatively young.
So I decided to do it, but I knew I couldn't just spend my savings without earning any more, so I decided to find a job.
She has a low first degree, but she is actually quite intelligent. Over the years, she has never stopped improving herself and has obtained many certifications through self-study.
Because of this, and because she herself loves children, she started working as a nanny for wealthy families two years ago.
After much thought, she felt that the job of a nanny was the most suitable for her, so she decided to give it a try and posted a job application on that website.
Life is so unpredictable. Aunt Zhou waited for several days without receiving a single reply. Feeling that revealing too much information was inappropriate, she was prepared to take down the job application the next morning if no one responded.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qin saw it at that moment and immediately contacted her by phone.
Now that the nanny issue has been resolved, the weight that had been pressing on Jiang Qin's mind has finally been lifted.
My mood instantly improved a lot.
Everything is ready, except for the last two weeks.
Just thinking about this made Jiang Qin's lips curl into a smile.
I glanced out the window; the sky outside was getting darker and darker. As late autumn approached winter, it was getting dark earlier and earlier.
November is almost here, and winter is approaching in Kyoto. She used to dislike winter because she found it too cold and inconvenient to go out. She was the kind of person who was afraid of the cold and had to wrap herself up like a cotton ball before going out.
But this year, she really likes winter.
I wish winter would come sooner, much sooner.
"I'm sorry, Second Young Master, the message has been relayed, but the Old Madam still doesn't want to see you."
There is no harm without comparison.
Meanwhile, at the Huo family's old residence, the situation was clearly not optimistic.
The old butler, Zhou Fu, looked up and said this to Huo Sili, who was standing outside the main entrance on the first floor of the main building.
His expression was complicated as he spoke, and his eyes revealed a hint of heartache and persuasion.
But the man in front of the door stood ramrod straight, ignoring Zhou Fu's attempts to signal him.
Instead, she repeated her words again, "Please tell Grandma again. If she doesn't agree to me going up to explain, then ask her to add my number to the whitelist first? At least give me a chance to explain."
"Second Young Master..." Zhou Fu looked at Huo Sili with barely concealed emotion.
“It’s not that Uncle Zhou doesn’t want to help you—it’s just that the last few times I went up there, I did exactly what you just said, but the old lady has kicked me out every time and won’t let me into the third floor.”
“So, you should wait until the old lady calms down before coming over,” Zhou Fu sincerely advised. “Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to pass on your message.”
Huo Sili's gaze shifted downwards as he looked at Zhou Fu, his dark pupils lowered slightly, and his thin lips pressed tightly together.
Seeing this, Zhou Fu sighed, thought for a moment, and then decided to speak up.
"You've really made the old lady angry this time. Second Young Master, please don't think Uncle Zhou is being nosy—Second Young Madam is such a good girl. Even if you don't like her, you shouldn't do this..."
Huo Sili frowned slightly. "I did not cheat on you."
Zhou Fu shut his mouth, looked at Huo Sili seriously, and this time he didn't say anything more.
After all, how could he possibly say that?
Sometimes, what people believe is not the truth.
That's not what they think.
The second young mistress saw and heard everything that happened at the hospital. Putting herself in her shoes, how could she, a young woman, believe that he hadn't cheated on her?
After all, Zhou Fu glanced at Huo Sili again, wanting to remind him.
But his mouth was still not fully open—a reminder to the second young master that he and the second young mistress had only known each other for four years.
At this moment, he's probably going to get a beating from the second young master, who looks so aggrieved right now!
But is this really true? Even someone who has known the second young master for eight years can't believe it.
What's more, the second young mistress is someone who has only known the second young master for four years.
Thinking of this, Zhou Fu said no more and continued to stand guard at the door, facing Huo Sili.
And before they knew it, it was dinnertime.
Zhou Fu, who clearly heard a few gurgling sounds, sighed again. He was about to say to Huo Sili, "Second Young Master, if you're hungry, you should go and have dinner first."
Huo Sili said, "Grandma has to eat dinner, right? Let me in, I'll explain things to her and then I'll leave. Or is Grandma trying to get me to drive straight to Moonlight Bay to find Qinqin and fight her security team?"
"You brat, you're still looking for Qinqin? You...you have no shame at all?!"
Zhou Fu sensed the threat in her words and gasped in shock when the elevator doors suddenly opened, revealing the old woman's angry and disgusted voice.
Huo Sili's gaze shifted and landed on the old lady who came out with a cane, her face cold towards him, a face that had always looked at him with kindness. His sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The old lady's physical condition was not weak. Her previous illness only caused her to faint when she couldn't withstand stimulation. When did she start using a cane?
A few seconds later, the person walked up to him, and Horstley understood.
"You want to explain yourself? Fine, take this beating first, then I'll listen to your explanation!"
Huo Sili glanced at the cane again. Qiu Huilan glared at him angrily, as if she wanted to say something more.
Bang.
It was the sound of knees hitting the ground.
The tall figure in front of her suddenly plummeted. Qiu Huilan's eyes widened, and she lowered her head to meet Huo Sili kneeling before her. Her cold, tense face was momentarily stunned.
“Then hit me,” Horstley said calmly, his lips, which were pale and sometimes pursed tightly, perhaps because he was unwell. “But please hit me quickly, I want to explain things as soon as possible.”
Qiu Huilan's old face scrunched up as she unfolded the newspaper: "!?!" She's still being urged?
"Fine! If I don't beat you until you groan in pain today, I'll change my name!"
As it turns out, Mrs. Huo, Qiu Huilan, was not joking at all.
The gold-inlaid solid wood cane was raised high and then slammed down, landing precisely on the whip marks left by the old man, Huo Wu.
Huo Sili's lips instantly paled.
Despite this, it was still said.
"Grandma, how many times do you want to hit me? When you've hit me enough, you have to stop and let me explain. Then you can contact Qinqin and explain everything to her—"
"She doesn't answer or read other people's calls or messages, but she will definitely answer and read your calls and messages."
So that's why this brat has been waiting here for so long!
