Isn't this exactly what I heard Xiaojiu was thinking?
How did Xiaojiu know what Xiaocai would say in advance?
“I…I can understand you.” Old Master Zhao came to his senses, paused, and continued, “How about…how about I lend you some money to pay for your parents’ medical expenses?”
After all, Xiao Cai has taken care of him for so many years; even if he hasn't done anything particularly meritorious, he has certainly put in a lot of effort.
“My parents’ medical expenses will cost one million. Even if I work for you from now until I’m old, I still won’t earn one million.” Xiao Cai wiped away the tears under her eyes and revealed a weak and sad smile. “Perhaps, I should give in to fate. I should go on blind dates and marry that person. That way, my parents’ illness can be cured.”
Even though Grandpa Zhao knew that some of what Xiao Jiu said had come true, he still refused to believe that Xiao Cai was that kind of person.
After all, they've been together for ten years, and they've developed feelings for each other.
Old Master Zhao frowned and said, "Then consider this money a gift from me, you don't need to pay it back."
"How can you do this?!" Xiao Cai's eyes were filled with tears. "Sir, you're so old and it hasn't been easy for you. How can I take your money? This is your retirement money..."
“It’s alright. Besides this million, I have a lot of retirement money. This money is nothing to me, but it can save your parents’ lives. Please take it and don’t be shy.” With that, Old Master Zhao walked into the study, took out a bankbook, and handed it to Xiao Cai.
"Sir, I have no way to repay your immense kindness to me and my whole family!" With that, Xiao Cai knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed to the old man. "It is my greatest blessing in this life to have met such a good person as you! Sir, you are my benefactor!"
As he said this, Xiao Cai kowtowed again.
"Alright, stop banging your head." Grandpa Zhao quickly helped Xiao Cai up. "Your forehead is all red from banging it."
He handed the passbook to Xiao Cai.
Holding the bankbook, Xiao Cai looked at Old Master Zhao with teary eyes, "Sir, you gave me this money. You are the greatest benefactor to my whole family. I have nothing to repay you with, so how about I repay you with my body?"
"No! Absolutely not!" At this time, Su's mother's cold and rapid voice sounded from outside the door.
At this moment, Su's mother hurriedly arrived, pulling Wenjiu along.
Originally, Su's mother was going to take Wenjiu home, but after the car had driven a few steps, she was worried about the old man's condition, so she asked Wenjiu for permission and they came to the old man's house together.
When Grandpa Zhao heard his daughter's voice, he hurried to open the door for her. When he saw Su's mother and Wen Jiu outside the door, he said in surprise, "Why are you two here? You must be tired after a long day of holding the family reunion banquet. You should rest at home."
"It's because I don't trust you." Su's mother took Wenjiu's hand, and the two of them entered the room.
"What could I possibly be worried about?" Old Master Zhao smiled dismissively.
Mother Su said seriously, "I just heard that this nanny wants to marry you."
“Yes, Mrs. Su, I…” Xiao Cai was about to explain something—
"Shut up! When did it become your place as a nanny to speak?" Su's mother's icy gaze fell on Xiao Cai, her aura extremely strong, making Xiao Cai mumble and unable to say anything.
Wow, my mom's amazing! She's got that strong, independent woman vibe. That little green tea b*tch immediately shut up.
Su's mother: ...
Hearing her daughter praise her, she felt a surge of joy.
"Why are you so mean to Xiao Cai?" Old Master Zhao glared at Su's mother and quickly comforted Xiao Cai, whose eyes were red. "Don't be sad, Xiao Cai. My daughter just has a hot temper..."
"I'm fine, sir," Xiao Cai said, her voice muffled, her eyes red-rimmed. She sniffled.
The aroma of tea filled the air with the family.
The smell of this green tea can be detected from ten blocks away.
"Dad, I just heard that you're going to give her a million for free," Su's mother said sternly, "and she even wants to repay you with her body, right?"
"You should mind your own business and not interfere in my affairs. Look at you, you've scared Xiao Cai to tears." Old Master Zhao glared at his daughter with displeasure.
"Dad, you're confused! She offered herself to you, she's only after your money!" Su's mother said with a stern face.
My maternal grandfather is just as love-struck as my second brother.
"I won't allow you to talk about Xiao Cai like that!" Old Master Zhao said coldly. "I know her better than you do what kind of person she is."
【Oh, this? You're so stubborn! Do you know that after you became paralyzed from being with her, she slapped you every day?】
[Sigh, that scheming nanny is really good at lying. She even said her parents were in the hospital, but they're playing cards in the village right now.]
“Dad, she just said that her parents are sick and hospitalized,” Su’s mother said in a deep voice. “Why don’t I make a call and ask what’s going on, so you don’t get scammed?”
She was the one who found the caregiver for the old man. When the caregiver started working, she left a copy of Cai's electronic resume, which contained her emergency contact information, namely her parents' information.
At this moment, the nanny Cai panicked, "My parents are not available..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su's mother had already dialed the other party's phone number.
"Hello, are you Cai Cuihua's mother? I'm her employer. I'd like to ask how you've been feeling lately?"
"I'm in great shape, come on, Ace! Oh, Your Majesty? No, no..."
The phone call was filled with the chaotic sounds of Cai Cuihua's mother playing cards.
Mrs. Su raised her phone and turned it off. "Nanny Cai, is there anything else you want to say?"
Grandpa Zhao was shocked that Wen Jiu had guessed correctly. He stared at Cai, the nanny, incredulously. "Little Cai, you...you're lying to me?!"
Xiao Jiu has already predicted two things correctly...
Could it be that everything else also hit the mark...?
Old Master Zhao dared not think any further.
“Sir, that’s not how it is, I…I…” The nanny racked her brains to explain herself.
Grandpa, not only did she deceive you, her mouth full of lies, but she also stole your money!
[She has stolen and sold the most valuable set of stamps from the 1980s in your collection!]
What?!
Old Master Zhao was a little unsteady on his feet. He stormed into his room and hurriedly searched for the stamps inside, but found nothing.
Where are the stamps?
Where did his painstakingly collected stamps, symbols of bygone eras, go?
Grandpa, not only the stamps, but the Qi Baishi landscape painting hanging in your study is also fake. The real one was stolen and sold. The one hanging on the wall now is a 99-yuan (including shipping) one from Pinduoduo. It's just a pity that Grandpa is old and his eyesight is failing, so he can't tell the difference. Sigh, Grandpa, you're about to be robbed, do you know that?
