Chapter 255 She really wanted to stay

Chu Rou first accompanied Nancy to change the dressing on her wound. Fortunately, it did not become infected and was healing quite well.

After changing the dressing, Chu Rou took Nancy to Shen Yan's ward.

As soon as the two entered, Huang Shan and Shen Yan were stunned. Huang Shan ran up to Chu Rou and asked in surprise, "Sister Chu Rou, where did you pick up this young heartthrob from?!"

Nancy didn't want Chu Rou to explain anymore, so she introduced herself directly in her natural voice: "Hello, my name is Nancy, and I am Chu Rou's friend."

"A girl?" Huang Shan exclaimed in surprise, "What a cool girl, I like her!"

Huang Shan wanted to go over and give Nancy a kiss and a hug, but Chu Rou stopped her, saying, "Shan Shan, don't scare Nancy. Why don't you go and kiss Shen Yan? He's waiting!"

Huang Shan blushed and didn't know how to respond.

Shi Jingman smiled and took Huang Shan's hand, "Shanshan, don't listen to Rou Rou's nonsense, she doesn't keep her mouth shut."

Seeing Huang Shan's expression, Chu Rou teased her further, "Our Shan Shan can blush now! We never knew you were so easily embarrassed before!"

Huang Shan was afraid that Chu Rou would say something shocking again, so she quickly changed the subject, "Sister Chu Rou, can you stay longer this time?"

At this point, Chu Rou immediately deflated, "I have to leave soon. Mo Chi went to the United States and handed over all his work to me. I have to go to work tomorrow."

Huang Shan felt a little guilty. "It's all my fault for being at a loss and calling you, causing you all this trouble."

“How can I blame you? It was my brother who fell ill,” Chu Rou glanced back at Nancy and continued, “Besides, this trip wasn’t in vain. I snagged a little beauty.”

...

Chu Rou and Nancy returned to City B in a car driven by their bodyguards.

At this time, it was the middle of the night in Country M, a time of revelry.

Inside a luxurious manor villa, the lights were blazing.

Today is the Thomas family's weekly gathering.

Morrison sat on the top-floor balcony, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, his eyes coldly watching his relatives chatting below.

It's so noisy and disruptive, it's really irritating.

He took a small sip of red wine, placed the glass on the table, and closed his eyes.

"How many days will Nancy be gone?" Morrison suddenly asked.

The assistant beside her shuddered. "Miss Nancy has been gone for a week."

Morrison hummed in agreement. "She should be back soon."

“Sir, something unexpected has happened,” the assistant’s Adam’s apple bobbed, “We can’t contact anyone who was escorting Miss Nancy.”

Morrison slowly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his dark pupils. "Where's Nancy?"

"We can't get in touch with her anymore; she changed her phone number after she arrived in China."

Morrison took out his phone and dialed Nancy's number in the United States, but it was switched off.

Regardless of whether Nancy would receive it or not, he sent her a message: 【Come back!】

Unable to reach Nancy, Morrison looked displeased. He put away his phone and said, "Send some more people over there and bring Nancy back."

"Yes, sir!" the assistant replied, bowing his head.

...

When Chu Rou and Nancy arrived in City B, it was already dark.

Chu Weize received a message from Chu Rou in advance, knowing that she was bringing a child back. He had a guest room prepared and the servants prepared a meal.

Even though he knew in advance that Chu Rou was bringing friends back, Chu Weize was still stunned when he saw Nancy.

He only came to his senses when he heard Nancy's voice and realized it was a girl.

Fearing that Nancy would feel uncomfortable, Chu Weize invited her to the restaurant and then went upstairs, leaving Nancy and Chu Rou alone.

"Chu Rou, you and your father have a very good relationship, right?"

Chu Weize looked a bit cold, but she felt that Chu Weize's attitude towards Chu Rou was gentle, and his eyes were full of doting.

“Yes,” Chu Rou said, wiping her mouth after finishing her meal, “but we’ve only known each other for a few months, can you tell?”

"You just recognized each other?" Nancy's eyes were full of curiosity. "Then why do you two seem so close?"

"Because he's my dad!"

Chu Rou felt the urge to share, so she recounted how she reunited with her family and also analyzed her family situation for Nancy.

“Our family relationships are quite complicated. I have a half-brother (same mother, different father), an older brother (different mother, different father), and two half-sisters (same father, different mother).”

"But we have a very good relationship. I've beaten both of my younger brothers into submission."

"Your family is so nice," Nancy said with an envious expression.

"Don't you have any brothers or sisters?" Chu Rou asked.

Nancy paused for two seconds, then said, "I have a few, but we're not very close. I only have one younger brother who I'm quite close to."

"Is it the one you dreamed about this morning, named 'Ivan'?"

Nancy smiled and nodded. She hadn't expected Chu Rou to still remember the name. "He looks a lot like me. We both have black hair and similar personalities."

"Then he must be very handsome!" Chu Rou could imagine the good looks of Nancy's family.

“He was only twelve years old, barely up to my chin,” Nancy said, her eyes sparkling as she spoke of Ivan. “He was a very handsome boy.”

Every child in Dream Creek Manor is beautiful. They are all illegitimate children, and they all have the blood of the William family flowing in their veins. They are born to contribute to the William family.

The men of the William family would have children with different women, and the beautiful ones would be sent to Dream Creek Manor for strict upbringing.

Those who aren't good-looking will be sent to the countryside to be raised. Perhaps they will become maids, bodyguards, or drivers in the William family, serving the legitimate bloodline of the William family.

Self-production and self-sales is a really good business strategy!

Nancy felt lucky that she hadn't yet been sent to the beds of those powerful and wealthy people.

She should thank Morrison; if he hadn't booked her five years ago, she might have been...

Like Lola, who is only two years older than her, but has been with countless men.

Perhaps that's why Lola felt extremely unbalanced. She usually liked to cause trouble for her, and she never really cared. But to her surprise, Lola actually went after her this time.

Will Morrison remember her? What will happen if he can't find her? If it weren't for worrying about Ivan, she wouldn't want to go back at all; it would be so much better to stay here!

“Nancy, why are you spacing out again?” Chu Rou shook Nancy’s shoulder.

Nancy snapped out of her daze. "Chu Rou, how long will it take to get my passport replaced?"

"With Uncle Lu personally handling it, it should be quick. I'll ask him again tomorrow, and he can send it over once it's done."

Chu Rou patted her head. "Are you homesick?"

“I’m just a little worried about Ivan,” Nancy frowned. “My heart is always racing.”

Chu Rou comforted Nancy for a few more minutes, then took her to the guest room to rest.

Nancy sat alone on the bed, took out her phone, opened the settings, and turned on her US number.
