Zhou Chunhua looked at Lu Huai'an, who was sitting in the living room staring blankly at the orchid on the table.
Although she didn't know why Lu Huai'an kept staring at that orchid, she had no intention of prying into other people's secrets.
The most important thing in interpersonal relationships is mutual respect.
I glanced at the clock above the sofa; it would be dinnertime in two hours.
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. There's nothing in the refrigerator. What will she use to cook?
So he grabbed his bag, turned around, and went out the door.
And don't underestimate the market; it's the most efficient place to gather information.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, four pairs of eyes turned to her.
Seeing the shopping baskets they were carrying, Zhou Chunhua immediately smiled politely and said, "Are you going to the market too? That's great! Today is my first day at work, and I don't even know where the market is. Um... can I go to the market with you?"
Her kindness was quickly reciprocated.
Along the way, Zhou Chunhua not only became familiar with them, but also learned about Zhang Bo's family situation.
When she was looking for information about Zhang Bo online, she tried to contact Zhang's family directly to meet with Zhang Bo and learn about the bus station incident.
However, on the phone, the Zhang family said bluntly that Zhang Bo was very ill and could not easily meet with outsiders.
She had no choice but to approach Zhang Bo in this way.
1st floor of Building 17.
As Zhou Chunhua carried the groceries into the elevator, Sister Zhang said mysteriously, "Little Zhou, I remember not long ago, Old Man Lu's two sons beat up your previous nanny, Xiao Liu."
It even escalated to the point of involving the police. Everyone in Building 17 knows that the two sons of the Lu family are no pushovers. My advice to you is to find another family.”
Just as he finished speaking, the elevator came to a stop.
The elevator doors opened, and Zhou Chunhua nodded her thanks before exiting the elevator.
What happens to the Lu family is none of her business. She only wants to use her position as the Lu family's nanny as a starting point to meet with Zhang Bo and find out about Nini's situation.
He knocked on the door, and Lu Huai'an opened it with a surprised look on his face.
"What's wrong?" She asked as she entered the room and began preparing lunch.
"I... thought you quit."
"Uncle Lu, you're joking. I'll tell you if I quit. Do you have any dietary restrictions?" she asked casually.
Lu Huai'an shook his head.
With no dietary restrictions, Zhou Chunhua was able to perform even more freely.
After all, Xu Xiuzhen was such a difficult person to serve, yet she had served her for over twenty years. In her eyes, Lu Huai'an was really just a piece of cake.
Sure enough, Lu Huai'an was very satisfied with the simple home-cooked dishes she made.
Everything went smoothly throughout the day.
When she returned home, Juliana had a dark expression on her face.
"Huahua, if you want to see that guy surnamed Zhang, why don't you just go to his house and knock on the door? Why do you have to work as a nanny there? You've been doing those housework for over twenty years, aren't you tired of it?"
Zhou Chunhua had no choice but to tell the truth: "If I don't go there to work as a nanny, I won't be able to see Zhang Bo..."
Once the truth was told, Juliana's face wasn't so dark anymore.
"But why a nanny? No way, let's buy an apartment there too."
Zhou Chunhua smiled, rolled up her sleeves, and went into the kitchen to cook dinner.
“What do you know? In a place like Bibo Garden, if someone does a good job as a nanny, everyone in the neighborhood wants to poach her. So, being a nanny is a real bargaining chip there.”
Julian didn't say anything then.
Everything went smoothly for the next few days.
The Lu family's affairs were nothing compared to the more than twenty years she had spent serving Xu Xiuzhen.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Until Wednesday, Zhou Chunhua left home at 6 a.m. as usual and arrived at the Lu family's door at 7 a.m.
However, as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, there were quite a few people standing in the hallway.
As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, all eyes fell on her.
Zhou Chunhua, unaware of what had happened, walked towards the Lu family's gate with a curious expression.
Whispers could be heard all around.
"Lu Zhiwu was referring to her."
"Really? Oh, how shameless."
"Recently, there have been quite a few women who specifically target older men living alone."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chunhua realized that she might have been the victim of a rumor, and a rather suggestive one at that.
"You're the nanny my dad hired?"
The person who spoke at the door was a middle-aged man who wasn't much younger than her.
He looked to be around forty years old, with that Hong Kong style slicked-back hair, slicked back with hair gel.
He was dressed in a sharp suit and his black leather shoes were polished to a shine.
Although his facial features were swollen and not very clear, Lu Huai'an's shadow could still be vaguely seen.
"Who are you?" Zhou Chunhua tilted her head and looked inside, only to see Lu Huai'an sitting in front of the orchid, his face pale.
"Don't worry about who I am! Give me the key and you can leave. I'm warning you, if you dare to bother my father again, I won't be so polite."
“Your word doesn’t count. My employer is your father, Mr. Lu Huai’an. Even if I’m dismissed, it’s up to your father to decide.” Zhou Chunhua tossed the keychain into her bag.
"You...you're surnamed Zhou, right? I've seen plenty of women like you! You just think my father is an old man living alone, so you deliberately approach him and try to inherit his retirement pension by sleeping with him, right?"
I'm telling you, don't even dream about it! Get out of here, you hear me? Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!
Zhou Chunhua took her phone out of her handbag, turned on the camera, and shoved it directly into the man's face.
He calmly questioned, "If you guarantee that everything you just said about me is true, then please repeat it verbatim in front of the camera."
But if you don't say a word now, it proves that everything you just said is a lie and slander against me.
"Come on! Say everything you said before I came here! If you stay silent, this video will be the evidence that gets you arrested today." She had at least worked her way up from Junhe Hospital a month ago.
In this situation, what she needed to do was quickly extricate herself from the situation and then elevate him. Letting him continue speaking was problematic, but keeping him silent was also problematic.
She doesn't even need to tell him about the legal consequences of spreading rumors and defamation.
Given endless space for imagination and anxiety, his performance would be enough to dispel the rumors he spread.
"Lu Zhiwu, is it? What? Are you mute? Didn't you say a lot when you were carrying me on your back? Come on, tell me, how did I get into your father's bed? And how did I plot to inherit your father's pension?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhiwu waved his hand and tried to unlock her phone.
Zhou Chunhua didn't tolerate it and stepped on the tip of his shiny leather shoes.
"ah!"
A scream rang out, and Lu Zhiwu instantly withdrew his outstretched hand.
At this moment, Lu Zhiwu was crouching on the ground, clutching his toes with both hands.
