Chapter 38 The Greedy and Vicious Nanny 16

After finishing his meal, Lu Chengjin got up, took the bowl from Duan Zhiyao's hand, and went to the kitchen.

Duan Zhiyao followed Xie Rong into the small cubicle. He watched as Xie Rong kicked off his shiny leather shoes and rolled around on the wooden bed, the red marks on his ankles quite noticeable.

“Xiao Rong,” Duan Zhiyao approached, squatted down by the bed, a hint of worry in his eyes, “Why did the young master of the Lu Group come back with you?”

Xie Rong glanced at him sideways, lazily propped herself up, and slipped her fingers into her collar to pull out the amethyst necklace that had once driven Lu Chengjin to the brink of despair. "This necklace cost eight million. He gave it to me."

“And this bracelet,” Xie Rong said, shaking the pearl bracelet on her snow-white wrist. “There’s only one in the whole world, and he gave it to me too. It’s worth over 30 million.”

This bracelet was put on Lu Chengjin's wrist by Xie Rong when she threw a tantrum in the car today.

Xie Rong secretly checked the price and immediately stopped being angry.

Who would turn down money?

He leaned down, close to Duan Zhiyao's face, tilted his head and blinked, his beautiful eyebrows and eyes relaxed with pleasure, filled with a fascination for wealth and glory, "Do you know how much 30 million is? This room can't hold it all. It's all mine now, all mine."

"And you, a penniless wretch, can only silently envy me," Xie Rong said smugly, raising an eyebrow.

Duan Zhiyao felt a pang of sadness, yet he couldn't help but be captivated by the decadent and greedy look in Duan Zhiyao's eyes and brows.

Such an expression was destined not to belong to him. Even though he had worked very hard, even though his teachers and classmates at the academy all said that he had a bright future ahead of him.

Outside the cubicle, Assistant Chen took in everything through the wide crack in the door. He answered the phone, smiled faintly, and turned to walk into the corridor.

...

Xie Rong brought her mother-in-law out of the tenement building.

The mother-in-law couldn't bear to part with the things in the house, and the already dilapidated furniture was easily broken, so Lu Chengjin had to have it carefully moved back to the villa.

After doing all this, Xie Rong finally agreed to come to the sanatorium with him.

Before being acquired by the Lu family today, this sanatorium was already the most famous private sanatorium in Kyoto.

After completing all the tests, Xie Rong's patience had run out. While waiting for the results, he shook off Lu Chengjin and wandered around the hospital building by himself.

As I wandered around, I came across a hospital room that was under extremely tight security.

Two cold-faced bodyguards stood at the door of the ward, and every nurse and doctor who entered had to undergo a check.

Xie Rong walked over with great interest. The two bodyguards clearly recognized him and said respectfully:

"Mr. Xie, the patients inside are in serious condition and cannot be visited casually."

Xie Rong's status was no longer that of a nanny. He wasn't afraid of these two bodyguards at all. He stepped forward and slapped each of them across the face, saying in a vicious tone, "Get out of my way! If you dare to block my path, I'll have Lu Chengjin fire you all and make sure you can't stay in Kyoto!"

The bodyguard on the left covered his face and stared blankly at him.

The bodyguard on the right snapped out of his daze and silently made way for him.

Xie Rong hummed softly, shook his hands from playing mahjong, and walked into the ward with his chin slightly raised, like a kitten taking advantage of someone else's power.

The ward door closed again, and Xie Rong walked to the bedside, looking at the unconscious man with his eyes closed.

It was undoubtedly Lu Chengjun.

In the story, the protagonist can recover his voice after falling down the building, but for someone else, it would be half-dead.

"How pitiful."

Xie Rong leaned down, bringing her ear close to the man's chest, "He really isn't dead."

"I've heard that people in a vegetative state can hear people talking outside. Can you hear them?" Xie Rong moved closer to the man's ear, thought for a moment, and said, "You're really useless."

"But that's fine too, your brother's money is easier to swindle than yours."

[Host, what are you doing?] The system asked, puzzled.

Lu Chengjun is now outside the plot and is unlikely to wake up. Like the villain, he is nothing more than a stepping stone for the protagonist to hone his skills.

[Does the host want him to wake up and disrupt the plot?]

Before Xie Rong could answer, the door to the ward was opened from the outside.

Lu Chengjin stood outside the door, gazing indifferently at the figure of another man lying on the bedside.

Is it that she can't forget her old love? Or is she just fickle and can't stand the loneliness?

He hadn't been watching over her for a moment when his nanny went to another man, and got really close to him.

When he was alive, I couldn't compete with him. Now that he's half-dead, do I still deserve to compete with him?

Lu Chengjin calmly walked to the bedside, grabbed Xie Rong's hand, and walked out without saying a word.

There were few people in the corridor, only the echoes of two people's heavy and light footsteps repeatedly reverberating in the empty hospital building, the incandescent light overhead reflecting a cold, piercing light.

The soft wrist in his hand was suddenly pulled away, and Lu Chengjin felt as if his heart had been emptied as well. He turned his head and looked down, only to see Xie Rong with a stern face, her cheeks slightly puffed out, looking at him coldly.

Is she looking at him with such resentment because he ruined her affair with Lu Chengjun?

Lu Chengjin gripped Xie Rong's shoulders with both hands, pinning him against the wall, and lowered his head so that their noses were touching.

"Xie Rong, even if Lu Chengjun were to wake up, let alone the fact that he is currently unconscious, he should be imprisoned for life based on the things he has done."

“Even if he didn’t do it, he’s almost thirty now, he’s old,” Lu Chengjin said, his eyes reddening as he stared into Xie Rong’s eyes. “At thirty, who knows if he’s clean or not? Maybe he’s already done something shady outside. But I’m clean, I’m still young, and I belong only to you.”

"Is it so hard to choose?" he murmured to Xie Rong.

Xie Rong slapped his hand away and said impatiently, "You're so annoying."

Lu Chengjin stared at him intently when his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

He took out his phone.

"Mr. Xie's test results are in."

Five minutes later, Lu Chengjin received the test report.

All the indicators on the list showed normal results; at most, Xie Rong was just a little overheated from eating too many oranges.

Lu Chengjin clenched the test report in his hand and turned to look at the boy sitting next to him yawning.

He had clearly breathed a sigh of relief, but for no reason, he felt panicked and lost.

This kind of thing has happened many times before.

But he quickly suppressed this panic.

There is still much to be done within the group.

After returning from the hospital, Lu Chengjin got busy.

No matter how busy he was, or what he was doing, he always kept Xie Rong by his side.

This includes professors giving him lessons.

Xie Rong's ability to read is entirely due to his memories from several lifetimes, but he couldn't understand any of the formulas or theorems the professor was spouting; he just wanted to fall asleep as soon as he heard them.

I occasionally overheard some things that I could understand, but all I knew was that Lu Chengjin's classes were related to the new energy technology projects that the Lu Group had recently bid on.

"Xie Rong, wake up."

Xie Rong rubbed her eyes, her voice slurred, "What?"

He was so sleepy that he was completely unaware of being held in Lu Chengjin's arms as he slept.

Lu Chengjin said, "Xie Rong, how about we get married at the end of the year?"
