Chapter 15: V-notification: Mr. Zhou is the best boss in the world!
Lin Anran was surprised and turned his head slightly towards Zhou Yunxue.
Zhou Yunxue nodded immediately and said, "Go, of course I'm going to go to night school with Sister Xiaolin. I still have half of my little flower to embroider, or I can learn to paint."
Zhou Yunxue's interest in embroidery was just a whim and she had no intention of continuing to study it, but rather than staying in the villa, she chose to go to night school.
"Fifth brother, you don't have to accompany me and Sister Xiaolin to night school tonight. It was a waste of your time to ask you to accompany me last night. You also know that there is no danger in night school at night. If you are worried, ask Brother Fang to pick us up at the time." Zhou Yunxue made all the arrangements.
Lin Anran's lips curled up slightly, and he wanted to vote for Zhou Yunxue immediately. That's right, with Zhou Heyuan's level, he doesn't need to go to night school at all. Even if Zhou Heyuan wants to take any courses, he can ask the teacher to come to the villa to give him one-on-one lessons. He doesn't have to squeeze with others, and it won't waste Zhou Heyuan's time.
Mainly because Lin Anran feels more or less uncomfortable when his boss is around, his behavior is quite restrained and he can't let go.
However, Zhou Heyuan had his own ideas: "Xiao Lin has to go to English class, and there's no one to accompany you."
"Then you can arrange for someone to accompany me, Uncle Wang, Aunt Li, or Uncle Ding will be fine." Zhou Yunxue had a strange expression on her face.
Zhou Heyuan glanced at Zhou Yunxue and said, "I'll stay with you until my uncle and aunt come to Shenzhen to pick you up and take you back to Beijing. After that, it won't be my turn to take care of you."
Zhou Yunxue's expression froze. After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Are only my parents coming to pick me up?"
"You can call them now." After saying this, Zhou Heyuan turned around and walked upstairs.
Zhou Yunxue looked at Zhou Heyuan's tall back as he walked up the stairs, sighed, and muttered, "I don't want to fight..."
Lin Anran quietly watched Zhou Heyuan disappear around the corner of the stairs. Seeing Zhou Yunxue immersed in her own emotions, she softly said, "Miss Zhou, do you want to continue playing chess?"
"Play!" Zhou Yunxue came back to her senses, urged Lin Anran to sit down, and play chess with her again.
"Okay, let's continue." Lin Anran smiled, as if she hadn't heard anything that had just happened. She also had no intention of asking Zhou Yunxue about anything. Zhou Yunxue went to the night school just by walking the same route as her. It was a good thing to have someone to chat with her on the way and it would be safer. Fortunately, she had chosen the English course.
It’s not that Zhou Yunxue is a bad person, so she doesn’t want to take classes with her, but it’s time to get off work in the evening, and Lin Anran, as a nanny, doesn’t want to work overtime for free. No matter whether the boss is a good person or not, no one can take up her rest time for free.
"Sister Xiaolin, are your parents comfortable with you coming to Shenzhen to work alone?" Zhou Yunxue suddenly looked up and asked.
Lin Anran thought of Lin's parents: "I'm worried."
But Lin's father and mother didn't dare to keep the original owner by their side. The original owner's ex-husband married a mistress, who soon gave birth to a son. The ex-husband's career was booming, and he was a winner in life. The original owner looked like a loser in contrast. In addition, the original owner was infertile, and people gossiped about her one after another. The original owner was sensitive, and even those who were not depressed would become depressed.
So even though they were reluctant, Lin's father and mother still sent the original owner out to work, away from her ex-husband's family, hoping that the original owner would come to her senses. However, Lin's father and mother made a lot of preparations in advance. In recent years, there have been many chaotic places in the country, and cases of fraud and kidnapping have occurred one after another. Shenzhen is the forefront of reform and opening up, and there are all kinds of monsters. It is not uncommon for rural people to be taken to Shenzhen by relatives to work and end up going astray.
Lin Anran pinched his chin with his fingers. Was the original owner really infertile?
People at that time still had some old-fashioned thinking, and rural information was even more blocked. The original owner had been married for three years without giving birth to a child, and everyone thought that the original owner was childless, including the original owner, and felt deeply guilty about it, which encouraged her ex-husband's family to suppress and bully her even more. No one ever thought that the original owner's ex-husband was in poor health, as if giving birth was a woman's job and men were naturally good at it. Not to mention the 1990s, people who had this idea in 2024 are still alive and well. The world is a huge world of boy babies.
The original owner had never been to the hospital for a check-up when she was in the village, but her ex-mother-in-law had given her a lot of folk remedies for having a baby. Speaking of which, the original owner had a poor health, probably because she ate those things indiscriminately. Before joining Boss Zhou's villa as a nanny, she was taken to the hospital by Uncle Wang for a physical examination. However, that physical examination was a routine physical examination and did not check whether the original owner was fertile. The original owner didn't even know that the hospital could check these things because she had no knowledge in this area before, and did not take the initiative to learn about it.
Lin Anran suspected the original owner's ex-husband was infertile. She even happily and maliciously speculated that not only was he cuckolded, but he was also raising someone else's son for free. Haha, why did everyone say the original owner was a hen that didn't lay eggs? And even said the original owner deserved the divorce?
"My mother is definitely not that worried about me. She will blame me for being ignorant." Zhou Yunxue lowered her head and spoke sullenly.
Lin Anran's train of thought was interrupted. She glanced at Zhou Yunxue, who was sitting across from her. She couldn't see her face, so she had no idea what expression she was making. She could only speak carefully, "Mr. Zhou said your parents are coming to pick you up."
Zhou Yunxue: "If only my parents come to pick me up, I'll be happy, but if there are people I don't want to see, I really don't want to go back with them."
Lin Anran didn't ask about the "person she didn't want to see," but just nodded slightly: "That's why Mr. Zhou asked you to call just now."
Zhou Yunxue paused, then couldn't hold back. "She's my cousin. What kind of cousin is she? She was only born two days later than me. I don't want a sister. My mom always says she's pitiful and asks me to give in to her and take care of her. What's so pitiful about her? It's not my fault that her parents divorced, and she wants to steal my parents and my brother. Doesn't she have her own parents and brother? She wants to steal mine! Isn't it natural that I hate her?"
Hearing the sob in her angry words, Lin Anran felt very embarrassed, especially when she inadvertently avoided her sight and met Zhou Heyuan who was standing on the stairs on the second floor. She tried hard to twitch the corners of her mouth and finally squeezed out a stiff smile. Haha, she didn't expect to hear gossip about the boss's relatives' family. She could only say that Zhou Yunxue didn't treat her as an outsider.
Zhou Yunxue was so excited that she stopped playing chess and began to list all the instances when her cousin had harmed her since she was a child. Her favorite things, friends, and people were taken away from her. But her mother always thought she was bullying her cousin and scolded her for being ignorant. She protected her cousin in every possible way. This time, she secretly went south to Shenzhen and had the biggest conflict with her parents in history. In a fit of rage, she acted impulsively, determined to stay away from her parents so that they couldn't find her and would regret it. But who knew that she would meet vicious human traffickers?
"Wuwuwu wow wow wow!" Zhou Yunxue rushed over and hugged Lin Anran, her tears and snot covering Lin Anran's body.
Lin Anran: “…”
She smiled stiffly under Zhou Heyuan's indifferent gaze, then raised her hand and patted Zhou Yunxue's back to comfort her, but said nothing.
It would have been fine if she hadn't been comforted. As soon as she was comforted, Zhou Yunxue burst into tears and snot: "Sister Xiaolin, I was scared to death, really, I was scared to death. The night I stayed in the hospital, I didn't dare close my eyes the whole night. I kept them open. I knew that Fifth Brother asked someone to stay with me, but I was afraid that someone would suddenly walk into the door of the ward, cover my mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and drag me away. I didn't dare cry to Fifth Brother. I was afraid that he would get annoyed with me and ignore me, and abandon me. Fifth Brother is very cold to everyone. I was afraid of him. I missed my parents, but they were in Beijing. I was afraid that they would scold me as soon as they came, saying that I deserved it..."
Lin Anran was stunned. If Zhou Yunxue hadn't said anything, she would have thought that she had already vented her emotions in the hospital and that she was not afraid. Zhou Yunxue's behavior in the past two days really didn't show that she could hold it in. She looked carefree, like a little girl doted on by her parents, as if being kidnapped had no effect on her. But how was that possible?
It might be a lifelong psychological trauma.
"You're fine now, you're safe." Lin Anran hugged Zhou Yunxue, his voice very gentle.
Zhou Yunxue cried for a long time, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances and fears. Lin Anran held her in his arms until his hands were sore.
"I got the news that all the human trafficking gangs were arrested. The police followed the clues of this gang and destroyed several human trafficking dens and rescued the abducted people. The police are still continuing the investigation and have contacted other cities to jointly handle the case. In the future, they will be able to rescue more people and crack down on more human trafficking gangs." Zhou Heyuan spoke slowly and clearly as he told what he knew.
Zhou Yunxue moved in Lin Anran's arms, but refused to look up.
Lin Anran could only say to Zhou Heyuan, "This is great news, Mr. Zhou. I didn't see this news in today's newspaper. You are really well-informed."
Zhou Heyuan looked at her and explained, "The case is not yet concluded, so it cannot be published in the newspaper."
"Oh, I know. If the human traffickers see the news, they will definitely move." Lin Anran nodded.
Zhou Yunxue raised her head quietly: "When will it be published in the newspaper?"
Zhou Heyuan turned to her and said, "It depends on the progress of the police investigation." He paused and said, "I won't abandon you. You are my sister, and you are my only sister."
Zhou Yunxue's eyes widened in surprise: "Fifth brother, are you serious?"
Zhou Heyuan: "Really."
"Haha!" Zhou Yunxue hugged Lin Anran happily, "Sister Lin, did you hear that? My fifth brother said I'm his only sister! His only one!"
Seeing that she was as happy as a child who had eaten candy, Lin Anran couldn't help laughing with her: "I heard it. If Mr. Zhou regrets it in the future, you come to me and I will testify for you." She made a small joke.
Zhou Yunxue nodded fiercely: "Fifth brother, you heard it too. Sister Xiaolin will testify for me. You can't regret it later."
"No, Xiaolin will be the witness."
Lin Anran looked up at Zhou Heyuan in surprise. She didn't expect him to agree with her joke.
Zhou Yunxue happily went to wash her face after receiving the assurance. Lin Anran also had to go change her clothes, but before she left, Zhou Heyuan called her, "Xiao Lin, thank you for accompanying Yunxue."
Lin Anran waved her hand: "Mr. Zhou, I am happy to help Miss Zhou." She said it from the bottom of her heart.
She looked at Zhou Heyuan and blinked when she saw him smile at her.
Zhou Heyuan said: "Xiao Lin, your salary will be doubled this month."
"Mr. Zhou, you are so nice. You are the best boss in the world!" Lin Anran looked at Zhou Heyuan with shining eyes and said sincerely.
Divine leadership!
She was happy to work overtime with Zhou Yunxue, but doubling her salary? That would be even better! Hehehe.
