Before Shen Muqing could finish her sigh, System 000 appeared. Her main task in this world was to matchmake the female lead Jiang Wantang and the male lead Fu Jingchen. Their families had plans for a marriage alliance, and since they were of suitable age, the marriage contract fell to them.
The main problem now lies with the male lead, Fu Jingchen. He is unwilling to enter into a marriage alliance, but the female lead has fallen for him.
In the original world, Fu Jingchen agreed to the marriage for some unknown reason. However, the female lead seemed unhappy after the marriage, while Fu Jingchen got better and better.
Therefore, Shen Muqing's current task is to persuade Fu Jingchen to agree to the marriage alliance.
Shen Muqing: Zero, why is the male lead unwilling to enter into a marriage alliance?
System 000: The host needs to find the answer himself.
Shen Muqing: What use are you?
A busy signal appeared, and Shen Muqing sighed. She knew it; this 000 came and went in a hurry, making it seem like it was incredibly busy.
She mentally ranted about 000, using words that were unbearable to hear.
System 000: Host, I'm still here.
Shen Muqing: Hahaha, it's good that you're still here. I'm talking about you, you useless thing.
Then the system went completely silent. Shen Muqing curled her lips in boredom. She hadn't finished cursing yet, so why did it leave?
As she walked back to her house, she pondered the world she was in. In this world, she was an orphan, without parents, and had barely managed to find a place to stay in Suzhou through her own hard work.
When Shen Muqing opened the door and went inside, the house was so small that it was hard to look at, and it was difficult to even turn around. It was like heaven and hell compared to the Fu family's house. Fortunately, she was going to move to a mansion today.
She packed her things simply, so little that she didn't even fill a single bag.
At the Fu family home, Shen Muqing splurged on a taxi. When she got out, she looked at her phone and saw that she only had a two-digit balance left. She comforted herself: It's okay, 100,000 will be deposited into my account soon, and then I'll be a rich person.
As soon as Shen Muqing entered the main building's lobby, she saw a man and a woman seemingly arguing, with the woman holding something she was about to hand to the man.
Shen Muqing watched the two arguing with trepidation. When his gaze met that of Butler Zhao, he gestured for him to stay put and not go over. So Shen Muqing stood in the corner and watched the drama unfold.
Jiang Wantang: "Jingchen, this is a watch I bought for you. It suits you very well."
Fu Jingchen said impatiently, "Jiang Wantang, I've made myself clear enough. I don't like you, so don't bother me."
“But our families have a marriage agreement, and I am your fiancée.”
Jiang Wantang stuffed the gift into Fu Jingchen's hand, but Fu Jingchen suddenly knocked the gift away. The exquisitely wrapped gift box landed in a beautiful parabola in front of Shen Muqing, startling her.
"Don't bother me anymore." A hint of guilt flashed in Fu Jingchen's eyes as he realized his overreaction, but it disappeared quickly, replaced by a fierce look as he spoke to Jiang Wantang.
Jiang Wantang wasn't intimidated by his gaze. Her eyes followed the gift to Shen Muqing, and after a few seconds, she spoke to Fu Jingchen again:
"You don't like it? Then I'll get you a new one tomorrow."
"I don't like any of you, neither you nor your things. Don't come looking for me again. I'll find a way to cancel the engagement."
Fu Jingchen stormed upstairs after saying those words, and Jiang Wantang didn't try to stop him, as if she knew that continuing the entanglement would only earn her more disgust.
"Hey, help me pick up what's on the ground and throw it in the trash can."
Jiang Wantang's tone was somewhat condescending, as she bossed Shen Muqing around.
Shen Muqing squatted down and picked up the gift box. This thing looked expensive, and the texture was different from what she expected. "Okay."
"Are you new here? I've never seen you before."
Ever since Jiang Wantang learned about her engagement to Fu Jingchen, she has frequently visited the Fu family home. She is not exactly familiar with the Fu family's nannies, but they do look familiar to her. Only Shen Muqing is a stranger to her.
"Yes, I'm new here," Shen Muqing said, neither humble nor arrogant.
This attitude caught Jiang Wantang's attention. She didn't see any fake flattery on Shen Muqing's face, which made her feel somewhat favorable towards Shen Muqing.
She knew that some people in the Fu family were outwardly respectful to her, but secretly they were gossiping about her, saying that she was shameless and had the nerve to chase after their second young master.
But she didn't care at all and just did what she wanted to do.
Jiang Wantang looked at Shen Muqing and nodded arrogantly, "You're pretty good."
Butler Zhao, standing to the side, looked surprised. He knew that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was famous and arrogant like a princess. She usually kept to herself and did not associate with other young ladies in the circle, as if she looked down on everyone.
Now he's treating a nanny differently, which means his new hire is indeed quite good.
"Um, if you don't want this gift, can you give it to me? I'm your dumping ground."
Shen Muqing, holding the gift box, said bluntly, "Are you kidding? This watch is obviously a designer brand. Who would turn down money? We can sell it tomorrow and life will be much better."
"Ha, interesting, you can have it." Jiang Wantang chuckled. This was the first time she had asked her face-to-face if she could give her this gift.
Previously, whenever Fu Jingchen didn't want a gift, the Fu family would take it and dispose of it. Whether she actually threw it in the trash or they kept it for themselves, it was something she had given away, and she wouldn't take it back.
She wore a haute couture short dress, her long hair cascading down her back, and high heels accentuated her legs, making them appear straight and white—a true heiress.
"Thank you, Miss. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!"
Shen Muqing's eyes were filled with nothing but a desire for money; she was simply too poor, and her praise was utterly sincere.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wantang's smile deepened. "You are the most special person I have ever met."
"Really?" Shen Muqing blushed slightly at her praise.
"See you tomorrow."
After saying that, she turned and left haughtily, as if she was used to being rejected by Fu Jingchen, without showing any sadness.
This situation gave Shen Muqing the feeling that the female lead was doing this specifically to complete the mission, regardless of whether she succeeded or not.
"Xiao Shen, you have a bright future ahead of you. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
Butler Zhao looked at Shen Muqing with approval and pride. This was someone he had recruited, and she had actually won the favor of Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang might just be his second young mistress, the second mistress of the Fu family.
"You flatter me."
Although Shen Muqing didn't know what he was talking about, he still replied humbly.
"Xiao Shen, come with me. Your room is on the third floor, at the far left, the one on the right. Go and rest first. I'll explain everything to you when we come downstairs at eight o'clock tomorrow."
"good."
Butler Zhao smiled broadly, clearly very satisfied with Shen Muqing.
The nanny was originally supposed to live in the nanny room next to the main building, but since Mr. Fu had spoken up, she had no choice.
