Su Mu didn't hear a word Liao Nanxing said.
At that moment, all she could see was the villa in front of her.
As Su Mu stepped into the courtyard, he felt that the air around him was much fresher.
Even the stress of the past few months vanished the moment I stepped into this place.
As the villa's gate opened, the bright crystal chandelier overhead was as magnificent as described in fairy tales.
Finally... she crawled out of that destitute, backwater village and finally lived a life of wealth that everyone envied!
Just as Su Mu was lost in fantasies about her future life as a wealthy wife, her cell phone suddenly rang.
She nervously took out her phone, thankfully it was just Xu Xiuzhen calling.
After giving a cold snort, he hung up immediately.
Before I could even put my phone back in my pocket, it beeped with a WeChat notification.
A WeChat message popped up on the screen: "Son, why aren't you home yet? Mom made your favorite sweet and sour pork. Come back soon, don't starve yourself."
That old hag, all she ever makes for her is cabbage and tofu, or plain noodles in broth.
She even talked about breast milk, saying that if you want to have milk, you need to drink more water, but she never shortchanged herself or her son.
However, she wasn't angry at all today, because what did it matter if Xu Xiuzhen saved every penny and dedicated her life to her son?
In the end, his son still had to hand over all the family's possessions to him.
Just wait, Xu Xiuzhen. Once Anan hands over the entire household to her, she'll come and see for herself that she's already living in the big house her son bought!
She couldn't even stay in that small, cramped rented room for more than a few days, because she would spend the rest of her life alone in a nursing home.
I'm in a great mood.
"Anan, have you decided on a maid?" She turned and ran off.
As before, she put her hands behind her back, stood on tiptoe, and looked up at Liao Nanxing with an adorable expression.
In order to get closer to Liao Nanxing, she studied these unintentional little expressions and gestures quite a bit.
And this is the way she looks right now, just like Liao Nanxing likes it the most. Whenever she used to make this gesture, Liao Nanxing would reach out and gently pat her head with a doting expression.
Just as she tilted her head, waiting for that large hand to caress her, Liao Nanxing walked right past her.
"From now on, you'll be in charge of the household, so these decisions will naturally be yours."
Although his words sounded nice, what did that look in his eyes mean?
Disdain... disgust?
Taking a deep breath, she tried to control the urge to fight him, then examined herself in her reflection on the wall.
At just one glance, she couldn't believe that the figure with a waist as thick as a bucket and a neck so large that it was invisible was actually her.
She looks just like Zhou Chunhua!
Snap!
A hand covered the reflection's face.
It's all that child's fault! From the late stages of her pregnancy, she couldn't control her appetite and was hungry all the time.
Actually, during the two days she wasn't breastfeeding, she had already successfully controlled her appetite.
But ever since she agreed to breastfeed the baby and couldn't get a full night's sleep, she has been eating significantly more than when she was pregnant.
No! This can't go on.
I took out my phone and called the postpartum nanny I had previously selected.
The nanny, who was initially hesitant, immediately changed her tone upon hearing that it was in the Yunxijian villa area, and readily agreed to start work right away.
"I want to see you in an hour. Otherwise, I'll find someone else."
"No, madam, I'll pack my things and come right away."
Upon hearing the word "Madam," Su Mu couldn't help but raise his chin.
Fifty minutes later, the postpartum nanny obediently appeared in front of her.
When Su Mu brought the person to Liao Nanxing, Liao Nanxing's expression was not very good.
She said in a coquettish tone, "Honey, I haven't been sleeping well these past few days, my energy is getting worse, and I'm becoming more and more irritable. I looked it up online, and everyone says that not being able to control your weight is caused by not getting enough rest."
"Don't even mention me. Look at you, you haven't had a proper rest these past few days, your complexion has turned sour."
"Madam is right. Studies have long proven that when people are sleep-deprived, the brain thinks we are hungry and increases our cravings for food, thus driving us to eat more."
Sir, your dark circles and skin clearly indicate you haven't slept well for days. You might not have noticed, but you already have gray hair.
Liao Nanxing was startled and unconsciously touched her hair.
"You can arrange it. As long as the child is well taken care of, it's fine."
Seeing that Liao Nanxing had relented, Su Mu immediately handed the child over to the postpartum nanny.
Along with that, there was also the can of formula that the child hadn't finished at the hospital.
Although everyone online says that breast milk is best for babies, whether her baby is healthy or not is the baby's business. She's not Zhou Chunhua, and she can't sacrifice herself for her child.
And this was also the best night Su Mu had last night.
Even when her breasts were engorged, she didn't sleep and slept until dawn.
When she woke up and didn't see Liao Nanxing, she quickly got up and went out.
Although the nanny she chose was an unremarkable middle-aged woman, it's still best to be cautious.
She was relieved when she learned from the nanny that Liao Nanxing had left early in the morning.
Next, as the lady of the house, her first task is to find a housekeeper to take care of her daily life and cleaning.
Then, after Liao Nanxing gave her the card, her first task was to do postpartum recovery to get back to her original appearance.
The thought that everything was going in the direction he wanted kept Su Mu's lips curling into a smile all day long.
...
Zhou Chunhua, who hadn't slept well all night, finally received a call from Lao Chen at 10 o'clock.
"I couldn't answer your call yesterday. Now that things are almost done, I'm calling you right away. Don't worry, I've already arranged a time for the transaction with the other party. I'll let you know as soon as there's any new information."
"Old Chen, are you... are you alright?" Zhou Chunhua asked worriedly.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
"It's nothing! What could possibly happen to me? Don't forget, I was a soldier."
"But your voice..."
"Oh! The guy who guarded the place all day yesterday didn't even get a sip of water. It was all dry. Don't worry, there's nothing to be concerned about."
"That's good." Zhou Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief and instructed, "You must be careful when you're out there all by yourself."
"Hmm," Old Chen replied, his voice thick with a nasal tone.
"Well... thank you for your help. Please let me know if you have any news."
Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Old Chen call her name.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Chunhua asked.
After a long silence on the phone, Old Chen stammered, "You...you and Gu...Yao...what...what's your relationship?"
"Huh?" Zhou Chunhua's mind was full of question marks. She couldn't understand why Old Chen would suddenly ask her this.
Thinking of the phone call Gu Yao made to Old Chen yesterday, she felt relieved and said, "Oh, you mean the phone call he made to you yesterday? Well, I didn't have enough money, so I borrowed some from him."
"You...you knew each other before?"
