Song Mian mustered all her energy and gave Yu Bai a radiant smile: "Good morning, Mr. Yu Bai."
Yu Bai looked at Song Mian with a complicated expression, as if he hesitated for a moment before replying, "Good morning, Miss Song."
"I'm so sorry that my friend and I came so abruptly yesterday, without giving you any time to prepare. I hope you don't mind." Song Mian said, handing the fruit she had brought to Yu Bai. "After I went back yesterday, I felt really bad for you, so I came here early today to apologize!"
Holding the fruit given to him by Song Mian, Yu Bai looked somewhat at a loss: "No, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on you. Yesterday, Ling's father called and told me the whole story, and I realized that I had misunderstood you... In short, everything that happened yesterday was a misunderstanding. Since you are the nanny that Ling's father hired for me, you are indeed qualified to enter my home."
Song Mian's smile vanished abruptly. She pondered the name Yu Bai repeatedly, a hint of disbelief flickering in her eyes: "Excuse me, may I ask what you call me?"
A nanny? When did she become this young master's nanny?
Unlike Song Mian's surprised expression, Yu Bai looked at Song Mian with some doubt and asked, "I've never liked people entering my room, but I've also never liked doing housework. That's why Mr. Ling said he'd find me a housekeeper to clean my room and cook for me... Miss Song, are you not the housekeeper Mr. Ling found for me?"
Song Mian really wanted to say that she wasn't!
Wasn't she supposed to be Yu Bai's friend?
If we're talking about nannies, that's a different price altogether!
However, Song Mian could not tell the truth under these circumstances.
Because she could already sense Yu Bai's wariness, she was certain that if she said now that she wasn't someone Mr. Ling had invited, Yu Bai would immediately close the door and refuse her entry!
She didn't want to be turned away!
So, no matter how unwilling Song Mian was, she still forced a bright smile and said to Yu Bai, "Yes. It's just that I initially wanted to get along well with you, Mr. Yu Bai, and Mr. Ling initially told me not to tell you that I was a nanny, so that you wouldn't resist me, so I... Anyway, it was all a misunderstanding."
Seeing Yu Bai nod, Song Mian smiled brightly, but she already had other plans in mind.
Ling Jiao hadn't made these things clear at the beginning. This was considered extra work for her, so she would definitely have to get some extra compensation later!
Once everything was verified, Yu Bai completely lost his last bit of wariness towards Song Mian and immediately invited her inside.
Song Mian only realized that what Yu Bai said was indeed true after she entered Yu Bai's apartment.
Yu Bai's room can only be described as messy and disorganized.
The floor and sofa were cluttered with all sorts of random things, in such a chaotic and disorganized manner that it felt like there was nowhere to put your feet.
After confirming Song Mian's identity, Yu Bai, though still smiling, spoke in a less gentle tone: "Song Mian, I'll leave the rest to you. Also, I'd like to ask what kind of dishes you're particularly good at?"
Song Mian thought about it carefully for a moment, then said expressionlessly, "I am good at making braised beef, spicy beef, chicken stew with mushrooms, and shrimp and fish cakes."
"You can even cook seafood?" Yu Bai was pleasantly surprised, and his eyes grew increasingly satisfied as he looked at Song Mian. "These are all dishes I love to eat. Here's what we'll do: you tidy up the living room and kitchen first, then you can make lunch. You can clean up the rest after lunch."
After Yu Bai finished speaking and left, Song Mian immediately went into the kitchen.
Looking at the kitchen, which resembled a battlefield, Song Mian was completely bewildered.
Yu Bai really has a deceptive face. He looks like an obedient little puppy, but in reality, he turned out to be a husky, so dramatic!
Song Mian took a picture of the kitchen for Ling Jiao and then sent her a dismayed emoji.
Less than five minutes later, Ling Jiao called.
Before Song Mian even had a chance to complain, she heard Ling Jiao's smiling voice coming from the other end of the receiver: "Miss Song, I have already helped your grandmother Zhang Guiying and your grandfather complete the divorce procedures."
Song Mian's complaints were immediately silenced by Ling Jiao's words. After hesitating for a while, she finally managed to utter, "So fast?"
Ling Jiao smiled and said, "It wasn't a troublesome matter to begin with. Besides, I know some people, so it's not difficult to handle these things. Miss Song, you've helped me so much, so naturally I'll do my best to help you."
Song Mian felt a slight pressure, but forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Chief Ling, things are going very smoothly here as well."
After briefly exchanging those two sentences with Ling Jiao, Song Mian hung up the phone and resignedly went to tidy up.
Song Mian stayed at Yu Bai's house for a full day, and it wasn't until sunset that she finally cleaned up the house.
Ge You lay down on the sofa, and Song Mian finally heard the sound of a door opening from the room on the second floor.
"Yu Bai, I'm done with my work!" Song Mian looked at Yu Bai with great interest, but she found that Yu Bai on the second floor had only opened the door a crack, and he was hiding behind the crack watching Song Mian.
"Thank you for your hard work. You can go home now and come back to cook for me tomorrow." Without giving Song Mian a chance to refuse, Yu Bai closed the door.
He remained indifferent to her throughout.
Song Mian immediately realized that Yu Bai was keeping his distance from her because of the ghost that had haunted him before.
Since she couldn't find Meng Yi to resolve the matter yet, Song Mian hesitated for a moment before deciding to leave Yu Bai's house first.
As agreed, Jiaojiao will bring Mengyi to her shop tonight.
Remembering Meng Yi's awkward personality, Song Mian devised a way to deal with him. After deciding to keep the matter a secret, she left Yu Bai's house.
At midnight, Lin Jiaojiao dragged Meng Yi to Song Mian's shop and they stood there.
Meng Yi looked utterly resistant and forcefully shook off Lin Jiaojiao's arm: "What's wrong with you, you devil? I already told you I didn't want to come, but you still insisted on dragging me here. What are you plotting?"
Lin Jiaojiao hadn't expected Meng Yi to guess so accurately. Her gaze darted away in a panic, and she said righteously, "Meng Yi, you're hurting my feelings by saying that. I only sent you here this time because of you."
"It's good enough that you're not trying to cheat me. What can you do for me?" Meng Yi looked Lin Jiaojiao up and down, his eyes filled with distrust.
Lin Jiaojiao felt a pang of anxiety, but said righteously, "Of course I'm doing this for you. Otherwise, if the boss doesn't open at this time, you'll be crying and won't even know where to begin!"
These words worked. Meng Yi, who had initially shown disdain, felt a chill run down his spine and stared at Lin Jiaojiao, asking, "What do you mean? Why would you just close such a good shop like this?"
