Chapter 899: Quite Suitable for Being a Screenwriter
My mother finally sighed on the other end of the phone: "How can you be so ignorant, child? We are all family..."
I couldn't bear it any longer. "Mom!" I interrupted her. "As a family, we should be reasonable, right? I helped my uncle find a job and rent an apartment because we're family.
If you don't treat them as family, do you think I would care about their business?
Now he wants me to be a free babysitter for his two children? Will I still have to take care of their interest classes, education, job search, partner search, and house purchase in the future?
If they have children in the future, do I still have to continue to take care of them for the sake of our family?
If I can’t take care of it, do I have to let my children take care of it? It’s endless, right?
"How is that possible? You think too much..." Seeing that my resistance was getting more and more serious, my mother's attitude became more gentle.
Before she could finish, I snorted coldly, "What's impossible? Aren't you doing this right now?
You clearly want to help, but you can't, so you impose your own ideas on me.
Think about it yourself, how many times has my uncle appeared since I was a child? If my aunt hadn't passed away, I wouldn't even remember that I had an uncle.
Now you've caused me a lot of trouble as soon as you show up. Can family affection be established by just your words "we're all family"?
Anyway, my attitude is clear: if they insist on coming, I won't stop them, but I definitely won't intervene."
I feel like I may have inherited a bit of Ms. Lin Shuyao's strength.
As for my mother, she has the characteristic of becoming stronger when facing the weak and weaker when facing the strong.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then my mother changed the subject: "By the way, what have you been busy with recently?"
I was stunned for a moment. This was a bit sudden. I blinked and stammered, "It's just... all the trivial matters of setting up the studio. Every day I have to go around looking for office buildings and negotiate rents. I'm busy."
After hearing what I said, my mother didn't insist any more and said, "Then I'll think of another way."
She muttered to herself again, as if talking to herself, "Your aunt is really something. It wouldn't be any different if she waited until she had resigned and then brought the kids over." Then she hung up the phone.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Wen Congwu looked at me with a meaningful look, "Your aunt is a bit unconventional."
"Huh?" I had just hung up the phone, my mind still shrouded in confusion. "Captain Wen, what do you mean?"
"Normally a mother wouldn't do things like this, it sounds a bit strange.
But don't take it too seriously, I was just saying it casually."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but after he said it, I started to worry. What did my aunt want to do by sending her husband and children to City A?
Are you living together with her classmate?
When Xiao Shiqiu walked in that evening, before I could tell him about my mother's phone call, he smiled and said, "I heard you were almost requisitioned as a nanny?"
I was shocked. He broke the news so quickly. Could it be...
"No way, my mother called you?" Could it be that my mother wanted to persuade Xiao Shiqiu to help his uncle take care of the baby?
I'm about to burst!
He chuckled and waved his phone at me. "Lao Wen told me. He said you got mad on the phone today. You seemed to have a bad temper. Maybe you said something."
I wrinkled my nose and said, "He's a grown man, why is he so gossipy?
You actually plotted against me behind my back, aren’t you afraid that I’d get angry…” I was stuck, not knowing what I’d do in anger, so I didn’t continue.
But Xiao Shiqiu still asked with great interest, "How do you behave when you are angry?"
I said angrily, "I just got angry for a moment! So what? Is that okay?"
"Haha~" He pinched my nose and laughed, "Okay~ Kittens also have tempers.
Well, Lao Wen didn't tell me how it was finally resolved, so I'll leave that to you."
"My mom compromised and said she would find a solution." I sighed, "But... I always feel like something's wrong with my aunt.
Not only do I feel this way, even Lao Wen, who was eavesdropping on the conversation, said that my aunt's behavior was not very reasonable."
"Hmm?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Think about it, if she really just wanted to hand over her work, she could have come together after she was done. There was no need for her uncle to bring the two children here first.
Besides, she's just an office worker, how many things could she possibly have to hand over?"
I frowned. "I always feel like she's deliberately keeping her husband and children away."
Xiao Shiqiu was silent for a moment. "There's something I haven't told you before. My friend in Lincheng told me that he saw your aunt go to the hospital once. I wonder if it's related to this matter."
My eyes widened immediately, and all sorts of melodramatic TV plots came alive in my mind.
"No, it's not that she has a terminal illness and doesn't want to burden my uncle and the child..."
I suddenly felt a little upset, but when I thought about my aunt's look of never getting enough of the advantages, she didn't seem so annoying anymore.
"If this happens, my uncle will become a widower..." I muttered to myself in a depressed mood.
Xiao Shiqiu frowned and interrupted me, "Stop, stop, don't continue imagining it. If you continue thinking about it, you will have to worry about your uncle's blind date problem again."
I followed his words and continued, "Yes, my uncle is still so young. If he becomes a widower, he will definitely have to find another one. Then my cousins will have a stepmother..."
Xiao Shiqiu couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he hugged me in his arms and said with a bit of a smile: "Why don't you go and follow Ling Xiuzhi? I think you are quite suitable to be a screenwriter.
Given a clue, you can make up a family drama. You have a talent."
Even though he spoke seriously, I could still tell he was teasing me.
I punched him in the chest, but he grabbed my hand and said, "Seriously, do you really think your uncle is still that young?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" He asked a strange question.
Xiao Shiqiu smiled with satisfaction, "I am the same age as your uncle."
This old man's focus is really weird!
Being carefree is one of my biggest strengths. As soon as I woke up from a good sleep, I had forgotten about my aunt's matter.
I started eating snacks and reading gossip again. I felt that I had become fatter after less than half a month of work.
Although Fang Dongmei has been doing the same work as before these days, her speed is obviously much slower than before.
She even started to wipe the table perfunctorily, fearing that she was doing too well and that Zheng Guanqian would be touched and think of her again.
Her current situation is quite delicate - she has to establish herself as a 'diligent intern' so that she can move freely in the company and collect clues, but she also has to control her performance at all times to avoid being entrusted with important tasks.
It’s too difficult!
The day before yesterday, she was just helping the girl at the front desk to sort out some express deliveries, but was seen by Zheng Guanqian who was passing by. She praised her on the spot for her "positive work attitude and comprehensive consideration of problems."
Yesterday, she just washed a few more cups in the tea room, but was praised by the design director again, who said that she was the most diligent intern assistant since the establishment of the department.
This morning, Fang Dongmei placed the brewed black tea on Zheng Guanqian's desk as usual. President Zheng stopped her for the first time and said, "Xiao Fang, you've been in the company for a few days now. It's time to do something related to your profession."
