Ye Wenyu was utterly bewildered, her logic shattered into pieces.
How amazing is it to be a rich person's nanny?!
The younger sister of a nanny was able to secure a long-term, stable, and respectable job thanks to her connections with the employers.
Zhang Susu continued, "And according to your Uncle Wang, that woman is used to being domineering at work because her sister has been the Li family's nanny for many years. She doesn't do any work and spends all day playing on her phone and reading newspapers. If the boss says anything to her, she can argue back directly. She's a real troublemaker at work, and she's incredibly arrogant. Even her boss has to give her some leeway."
Really? Ye Wenyu opened her eyes in surprise, thinking that the world had indeed changed. Was this what they called "when one person attains enlightenment, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"? Working as a nanny in a wealthy and powerful family for many years and developing feelings for the family could also be considered as one person attaining enlightenment.
Zhang Susu glanced out the car window again. Golden sunlight poured down from the sky like a waterfall, and the green trees in the distance were already faintly tinged with a misty, tender green.
Ye Wenyu also looked out and saw the willows on both sides of the street swaying in the wind. The willow branches were much lighter, and the tender green on the branches was like a light veil. She sighed in her heart, "Spring has finally come again!"
That's great. She's a year older now and can face the rest of her life with more composure and wisdom.
Zhang Susu said with a smile, "That's why I say your Aunt Shufen is so lucky. She must have a wide network of connections and many friends now. It's really admirable that she still remembers poor friends like us, even though she's so rich and powerful now. I really like her!"
Ye Wenyu was once again bewildered. She thought to herself that her mother, who had lived at the bottom of society for most of her life, had developed her own philosophy of the lower class. She saw that even a nanny from a nouveau riche family could bring so many benefits to her relatives and friends, which was why her mother readily agreed to meet Aunt Cai today. Her mother was hoping to gain many conveniences and benefits from the Cai family in the future.
Oh, her mother—
Ye Wenyu held her forehead with one hand, and she couldn't help but think of her past life. When her mother learned that she had become Lin Tingfeng's lover, she didn't scold her at first. Instead, she smiled and was very happy.
Later, he reminded her that she should leave him after graduating from university and clear her name.
My mother is so shrewd and worldly-wise!
As Ye Wenyu pondered, looking at her mother beside her, she couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for Zhang Susu.
My mother is very intelligent, but perhaps she just had bad luck. As the old saying goes, a person's life is often determined by "first, fate; second, luck; third, feng shui; fourth, accumulating good deeds; and fifth, studying." Can a top student like her really change her fate just by studying?
Zhang Susu continued to daydream, looking very happy. She glanced at Ye Wenyu and became even happier, saying to her cheerfully, "How is your son with Shufen, Xiao Cai? I remember when you first went to university, Xiao Cai called me. Has he contacted you? Has he been taking special care of you these past two years?"
Ye Wenyu felt dizzy listening to this. Her mother had no idea that she had been with Cai Wenchuan and then broken up with him because she had never told her mother about it from the beginning.
Looking back now, the past of their love seems as distant as a previous life.
Ye Wenyu had no choice but to remain silent.
Zhang Susu didn't ask her for an answer, but was immersed in her own daydreams. Her eyes sparkled like jewels, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up wildly. The more she thought about it, the happier and more excited she became.
After getting off the bus, the two were still some distance from the place Aunt Cai had mentioned. Ye Wenyu hailed a Didi (ride-hailing service), and the driver took them to the foot of a mountain. Surrounded by mountains and lush greenery, it was practically a sea of green. The driver said they had arrived at their destination, and the mother and daughter got out of the car carrying their gifts. Zhang Susu exclaimed, "Xiaoyu, look! What a beautiful villa on the hillside!"
Ye Wenyu raised her head, her heart pounding wildly. She felt a "thud" and all the blood in her body flowed out from the soles of her feet. This, this, that villa on the hillside, was the Lin family's old residence!
Life is truly unpredictable! Ye Wenyu stared wide-eyed at the white villa nestled among the green trees, her heart filled with mixed emotions. In her previous life, she came to the Lin family's old residence for a family banquet and unintentionally met Lin Tingfeng in the garden; in her previous life, she and Lin Tingfeng came to the old family home to swim, but were spied on by Lin Tingxuan, leading to a rift between the brothers; in her previous life, she and Lin Tingfeng visited his parents at the old residence, where his mother gave her a gemstone ring, but his father said things she didn't understand.
Now, in this life, having been reborn, she finds herself once again standing before the Lin family's old mansion, almost as if by magic.
Fate played a cruel trick on her; like a chess piece, she was placed once again on the chessboard of the Lin family's old mansion by an invisible hand.
She had always thought that, no matter what, she would never again appear in front of this beautiful villa, whose courtyard was a hodgepodge of Chinese and Western styles.
She thought that in this life, she would do everything in her power to draw a clear line and never come to the villa that had brought her joy, pain, and ultimately driven her to suicide.
She had always thought that she would rely on herself and be positive and optimistic throughout her life, and that she would never have any connection with the Lin family again, much less see this white villa.
Unexpectedly, fate led her by the hand and brought her to it.
Ye Wenyu tilted her head slightly, like a lamppost, staring blankly into the distance. Her eyes were red, and memories of the past fluttered like colorful butterflies.
Where exactly did things go wrong? She thought painfully. We all want to do our best to live a good life, we all want to love and be loved, but many people spend their whole lives only to leave this world with hurt and loneliness.
If it was like this in her previous life, will it be like this in this life as well?
A tremendous fear gripped Ye Wenyu's heart, as if an invisible hand had seized it.
Seeing her daughter standing there in a daze, Zhang Susu excitedly pushed her back and said to her, "Xiaoyu, hurry up! The Cai family has really married into a wealthy family, it's so enviable—"
Ye Wenyu had just come to her senses when Zhang Susu, as if injected with adrenaline, beamed and said to her, "They're obviously a very wealthy family! Much wealthier than the Li family. No wonder Shufen wanted to move back then. Your Aunt Shufen has good taste; she'll be enjoying a life of luxury!" Her tone was full of envy and jealousy.
The two walked and talked along the wide, clean mountain road towards the villa halfway up the mountain. The road, like a ribbon, undulated among the mountains.
The mountain road is lined with phoenix trees, which bloom with beautiful flowers, and the scenery along the way is breathtaking.
A gentle mountain breeze blew, lifting Ye Wenyu's long hair and skirt.
Ye Wenyu's heart pounded wildly, terrified of bumping into Lin Tingfeng. If she were to run into Lin Tingfeng again at the Lin family's old residence in this life, she estimated she would go insane on the spot!
