Upon seeing the strange expressions on the faces of those around her, she suddenly came to her senses, her face turning pale with fright. The woman wailed and pounded the ground with her hands, crying, "Young master, I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"
The charge of being a spy for another country is far more serious than things like abuse; the nanny was so eager to get away with it that she confessed to everything.
"I'm not a spy, I'm just an ordinary person. My family started out farming, and later I worked as a nanny to make a living! I don't have a medical license, they got all that for me... I didn't know that an overdose of sedatives could kill people..."
The nanny sobbed, "I... I just couldn't take it anymore because Young Master Pei wasn't eating..."
Jiang Chi narrowed his eyes, "How did you, a rural woman, transform yourself into a nanny at a high-end domestic service agency?"
"I...I can't say!" The nanny was on the verge of tears.
The old man's deep, authoritative voice landed heavily: "Give me a clear explanation of everything."
Old Master Huo tapped his cane on the ground, his eagle eyes sharply fixed on the woman crawling on the ground.
The nanny shuddered. She knew perfectly well that the old man in front of her was the owner of this mansion, a man of immense power and influence.
He's here; I'm truly beyond saving.
The nanny finally broke down in tears and told the whole truth.
Her real name is Zhang Cuinong. She grew up in the countryside and spent her days farming, doing farm work and housework. She thought that half of her life would just pass by like this.
Until a year ago, her husband, who had come to the city to work, started imitating his coworkers' staged accidents to extort money. That day, he chose a luxury car and pretended to fall to the ground. Unexpectedly, the rich second-generation driver happened to be drunk, and the car wheel ran over him, killing her husband on the spot.
Finally, the rich second-generation offered to compensate the family 500,000 yuan. Zhang Cuinong had never seen so much money in her life. Although she was heartbroken, she immediately signed the settlement agreement.
When it came time to buy a house for her son, she realized that the money wasn't even enough to buy a small, run-down apartment in downtown B city. So she went to the rich kid's company and made a scene, demanding compensation.
In the end, it was her father, the rich second-generation, who stepped in and agreed to pay her an additional 100,000 yuan in compensation and arrange for her to work as a nanny for wealthy families in his housekeeping company.
The so-called academic qualifications, certificates, and past experience are all fabricated by the organization.
One day, she overheard five or six colleagues complaining about the Pei family's high-paying job posting. She learned that they had all worked there before, but none of them lasted more than a month before quitting. Zhang Cuinong was very tempted by the salary. She thought to herself, "Taking care of a disabled young master is nothing difficult. Didn't I raise my own son from infancy?"
The next day, she approached Pei Luying and offered to be Pei Yushen's nanny.
At this point, Zhang Cuinong was still sobbing and trying to justify herself: "I served my in-laws the same way at home, I thought being a nanny was just like that... but I didn't do anything outrageous..."
Xu Sheng whispered a few words in Old Master Huo's ear and handed him a document.
The old man glanced at her a few times, his expression not good, and his deep, resonant voice struck Zhang Cuinong like muffled thunder:
"Then tell me, why was your previous employer fired?"
The nanny looked up in shock. "How did you know? The supervisor promised not to keep a record!"
She underestimated the influence of top-tier wealthy families.
As soon as the nanny revealed the shady dealings of the housekeeping company, Xu Sheng immediately understood and went to investigate the agency, instructing the agency's head to reveal everything about Zhang Cuinong without holding anything back.
The pressure from the behemoth that is the Huo family in China is something a company with only some reputation in the domestic service circle can't possibly withstand.
Jiang Chi quickly glanced at the document, then sneered as he closed it: "So it's because you're dishonest."
Zhang Cuinong fell backward, her face deathly pale.
Jiang Chi frowned as he looked at her. She was even worse than a foreign spy. If China had one less bad apple, at least one less victim.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the other protagonist at the center of the storm remained silent, as if he were not the one being mistreated by the nanny at all; his handsome face was pale, and all that remained was indifference.
There was neither the suffering of being abused nor the joy of getting revenge.
Compared to the wailing and howling Zhang Cuinong in her forties, he was so numb and calm that he didn't seem like a fourteen-year-old child at all.
The servants, who were secretly observing, exchanged glances; this young master of the Pei family was really too strange.
"Take him away and prosecute him."
Old Master Huo gave the order with a stern face.
The nanny looked incredulous. She still felt that she had only been a little rough and that there was no need to file a lawsuit.
With nowhere else to turn, her gaze locked onto Pei Yushen, as if grasping at a last straw. Taking advantage of the crowd's inattention, she ran towards the young man: "Young Master Pei, please, say a word for me! I've served you for two months after all—"
As the woman scrambled over, a look of panic finally broke through Pei Yushen's calm black eyes.
He was injected with a sedative and was completely unable to move.
Pei Yu's lips trembled, and his chest heaved violently, seemingly another sign of an impending illness.
Suddenly, a small figure rushed out from some corner and stood in front of Pei Yushen's wheelchair, its childish voice trembling: "You, you don't come any closer!"
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the bad auntie doesn't have a needle right now...
But she looks so scary, like an auntie, sob sob...
Chaochao's trembling legs perfectly illustrated what it means to be both cowardly and stubborn, and her clenched little fists were a way of encouraging herself.
No, we can't leave!
If Yu Shen leaves, he'll get bullied! What if he feels bad like yesterday...?
This guy has already suffered so much, sob sob QAQ...
