Since the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) was established, the police station has been overwhelmed with work. Wen Mo is busy as a bee every day. After finishing breakfast, he gave the nanny a few instructions, hugged Wen Shiyu, put on his uniform, and went out.
He had barely left when Wen Shiyu decided to go out for a walk.
The nanny, who had been instructed by the master of the house, hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Madam, the master said that if you want to go out, you can wait for him to come back and accompany you."
She has poor eyesight and often wanders into the middle of the road while walking, which worries Wenmo.
Because of her outstanding appearance, she is easily targeted by others.
Wenmo must accompany me when I go out.
In the past, Wen Shiyu might have compromised.
But today he was unusually stubborn, saying, "I won't go far, I'll just wander around the entrance."
Her heart was racing, and she felt a surge of excitement. She was restless and just wanted to walk around.
When the nanny heard that she was only going to walk around the door, she thought for a moment and then said, "Then I'll stay with you."
No matter what else is important, nothing is more important than my wife.
She had heard that the last nanny who worked for the Wen family met a tragic end because she lost the lady of the house when she took her out.
If the Wen family hadn't offered her twice the salary of working for other wealthy and politically influential families, she would never have dared to come.
Everyone knows that Wen Mo has a difficult wife.
She has a strange temper and is very troublesome.
The frequency of changing nannies has always been maintained at once a month.
Even with such a high chance of being fired, many people are still willing to come.
For no other reason than purely for the sake of money.
"Okay." Wen Shiyu knew she was quite a hassle and tried her best not to cause Wen Mo any trouble, so she didn't refuse the nanny.
The nanny breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.
She has been at the Wen family's house for a few days now. Apart from being a bit particular about her lifestyle and wanting her to eat fine food, the lady of the house has no other problems. At least she doesn't mistreat or beat the nanny, which is already quite commendable.
The Wen family's residence is surrounded by a cluster of detached villas and mansions in the English style.
Each household is independent, with a distance of about four or five meters between them.
The people living in this place are either politicians or businessmen, and without exception, they are all extremely wealthy.
This was Lin Xiaoxiao's first time stepping into this place. She looked around in amazement, and the cars that occasionally drove by were all luxury brands from later generations: Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz...
Having lived in a working-class neighborhood, seeing a wealthy neighborhood afterwards makes me sigh with emotion.
"A world of difference."
Here, she truly experienced the lives of the upper class in the port city, feeling as if she had returned to a past life before the end of the world.
"Country bumpkin." A woman dressed in fancy clothes cursed at Lin Xiaoxiao in English as she passed by.
Lin Xiaoxiao stamped her foot and retorted with a harsh retort.
These words must have hit a nerve with her, because she raised her hand to slap Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Hey Miss, if you can't control your hands, I don't mind breaking it for you," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a laugh, leaning back to avoid the slap.
The smile didn't reach his eyes.
The girl's fan missed, and she became even angrier. Pointing at Lin Xiaoxiao, her nails were so sharp they could pierce her eyes. "You dare call me rude? Do you know who I am?"
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at her fingers, a flash of coldness passing through her eyes.
"You don't even know who you are. You don't believe me when I say you have something wrong with your head."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes and said, "A good dog doesn't block the way."
"Aaaaaah, how dare you call me a dog?" The woman had never suffered such humiliation before, and she screamed as she lunged at him, trying to grab his hair.
Lin Xiaoxiao kicked her away, frowning.
Is this person mentally ill?
His emotions are so unstable.
"Hey, pretty girl." Just then, an unfamiliar voice came from the side.
He was a young man sitting in the car, dressed head to toe in designer brands, and a rich man's son.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao looking over, the boy pointed to the woman who had fallen to the ground and was still not up, "She is Helen's lover, and also a new actress who became a hit last year for starring in a kung fu movie."
"It's obvious that you've offended her."
His expression was compassionate, as if he was very worried about Lin Xiaoxiao.
But she still caught the mischievous glint in his eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao had no interest in playing tricks on a rich kid like him. She picked up her fruit basket, walked past the woman, and left.
The one who starts the trouble is the one who's at fault; if you offend them, you offend them.
Even after walking a distance, you can still hear the woman cursing behind you.
He scratched his newly cut hair, thinking to himself that even celebrities aren't necessarily that well-mannered.
She even became a mistress to a wealthy man...
Helen?
I don't know him.
"Hello, are you Mr. Chen?" The woman only noticed the car the boy was in after she had finished cursing.
She instantly changed her expression, putting on a charming smile, and limped to the car window, bending down so low that everyone would be exposed.
But she seemed oblivious to anything amiss, and continued to look at the boy with a smile.
Chen Zixi's gaze swept over her chest, and a smirk appeared on his lips. "Don't you care about your innocent image anymore?"
The woman swayed her hips. "Oh dear, Mr. Chen, please don't tease me. If you'd like, I..."
Boldly reaching out to him speaks volumes.
"Click!"
"Uncle Chen, let's go."
The luxurious Rolls-Royce quickly drove away.
The woman who almost got her hand caught in the car window patted her chest in relief, her eyes filled with regret and frustration.
It's such a pity that I didn't seize the opportunity after finally meeting the young master of the Chen family.
The kung fu movie that made her a sensation last year was invested in by the Chan family. As a well-known wealthy family in Hong Kong, the Chan family is a high-ranking family that many celebrities want to climb.
Including her.
As for Helen... she can't compare to the Chen family.
The woman stomped her foot, blaming it all on that brat.
Just wait for her.
Before Lin Xiaoxiao even reached the Wen family's house, she saw Wen Shiyu pacing back and forth by the roadside from afar.
A bright smile instantly spread across her face as she called out, "Aunt Wen."
Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Shiyu stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. Everything was shrouded in mist, and she could not see clearly except for a figure.
I couldn't help but rub my eyes; it was the first time I'd ever hated my blindness so much.
Just as she was feeling down, Lin Xiaoxiao walked over.
Upon getting closer, Wen Shiyu could finally see Lin Xiaoxiao clearly. She had a small face, big eyes, and fair skin. Unlike the tomboy she had been a few days ago, this was her true appearance.
A delicate and adorable little girl.
If her daughter were still alive, she would be just as adorable as her.
For some reason, whenever Wen Shiyu saw Lin Xiaoxiao, she couldn't help but think of her child, and a voice in her heart kept telling her—
This is your child, he is yours.
“…Baby.” She stared at Lin Xiaoxiao, uttering once again the name she had called out in her heart for twenty years.
When Lin Xiaoxiao first heard this title, she found it a little strange, but she got used to it after a while.
He hummed in agreement, then grabbed Wen Shiyu's hand; it was cool to the touch.
She quickly said, "Please come in first, Aunt Wen, your hands are too cold."
