Xia Zhenzhen said impatiently, "You're so rich, 30,000 yuan isn't even enough for you to buy a pair of shoes. I have to ask so many questions to borrow such a small amount of money. You're more annoying than my grandparents."
"Fine, consider this 30,000 as my advance salary. Give it to me now."
She said it as a matter of course.
Xia Shih-han asked suspiciously, "Your uncle is in the hospital? What's wrong?"
"Xia Shih-han, what do you mean? You doubt me?"
Xia Zhenzhen's face immediately darkened: "If you don't want to lend it, then forget it. I'll find someone else."
After she finished speaking, she slammed the door shut and left.
Xia Shih-han frowned, feeling that Xia Zhen-zhen had been acting strangely lately. Although she hadn't been very diligent before, she had at least appeared gentle and obedient on the surface.
Why are you making no attempt to hide it today? Is this your true nature being revealed?
Little did she know that Xia Zhenzhen had fallen in love with Shen Yanqing at first sight yesterday and had already shifted her focus to him, so she naturally disdained to continue pretending to be obedient and get close to Ye Sinian.
After she returned yesterday, she immediately asked around and found out that the man was none other than the legendary Boss Shen, who once dominated both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
Xia Zhenzhen never expected that the male protagonist in the book would have such an otherworldly appearance.
Putting aside his demeanor and handsome appearance, his wealth alone was enough to make her heart flutter.
If she could be with him, she would have everything.
She was determined to find an opportunity to get close to him and make him her devoted lover.
Since she has better options, there's no need for her to continue doing such a tiring job as a postpartum nanny.
With this in mind, she slowly walked downstairs in a very good mood.
Just then, she saw Sun Yuehua putting the baby to sleep in the cradle. She swayed over and said, "Sister Sun, my hand is injured. You should cook the meal. I'll take care of the baby."
Sun Yuehua was always honest, and knowing that Xia Zhenzhen was her employer's cousin, she naturally didn't say anything.
She nodded, then added with concern, "The young lady has just fallen asleep, so please keep your voice down and don't wake her."
"Okay, okay."
Xia Zhenzhen waved her hand impatiently, took her phone, sat on the sofa next to her, and comfortably crossed her legs.
Since she was planning to leave at any time anyway, there was no need to continue pretending.
Her immediate priority was to find a way to get close to that man.
Suddenly, she thought of someone. If she remembered correctly, her ex-boyfriend's uncle was a junior manager at Shen's company.
She glanced at the sleeping baby in the cradle, tidied her hair, took her phone, and went outside.
Xia Shihhan quickly tidied up the mess on the table, only to suddenly discover that the brocade box containing the diamond ring that she had placed on the table was empty.
Inside was the wedding ring Ye Sinian had given her.
For some reason, her first thought was that Xia Zhenzhen had taken it.
Just then, she faintly heard a child crying outside, and hurriedly got up and went downstairs.
As soon as I entered the living room, I found the baby lying alone in the cradle, waving his little hands, pouting, and crying loudly.
When she saw her with her big, dark eyes, she cried even more pitifully, her little face turning red from the effort.
Xia Shih-han hurriedly picked up the baby from the cradle with a pained expression. She frowned and looked around. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, she saw Xia Zhen-zhen standing by the pool talking on the phone, looking shy.
She had considered firing Xia Zhenzhen before, but since Xia Zhenzhen's job was decent, she didn't directly break off relations. But now she's really gone too far.
Xia Shihhan looked away, suppressing her anger and gently coaxing the child to calm down.
After much coaxing, the little one finally whimpered twice, clutching one of her fingers with his chubby little hand, and drifted off to sleep sweetly.
She carefully placed the little one back in the cradle. Just as she finished, Xia Zhenzhen pushed open the door and walked in, the loud noise almost waking the little one who had just fallen asleep.
Xia Shih-han gently patted the little one for a while before calming him down again.
Xia Zhenzhen was startled when she saw Xia Shihan sitting by the cradle as soon as she entered the room.
Sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow on Xia Shihhan's long, silky hair. The interplay of light and shadow gave her already delicate features a touch of eeriness and coldness.
When Xia Zhenzhen met her eyes, she suddenly felt a little guilty.
Xia Shih-Han looked at her with cold eyes: "Zhen-Zhen, have you seen my ring?"
"What ring? How did I see it?"
Xia Zhenzhen immediately retorted, but then suddenly remembered that when Xia Shihhan went back to her parents' home last time, she had indeed taken a diamond ring from Xia Shihhan's bedroom.
She saw an exquisite red velvet box on the table, opened it, and found a beautiful diamond ring inside. She couldn't resist trying it on, but once she put it on, she couldn't take it off.
Later, when she finally managed to remove the ring with soapy water, Xia Shihhan had already returned. Afraid of being discovered, she hid the ring.
He was initially a little uneasy, but seeing that Xia Shihan hadn't mentioned the ring at all, he felt relieved and even thought about keeping the ring for himself.
Who would have thought that it would be exposed today?
However, she wasn't the only outsider in the family. As long as she denied it to the death, no one could pin the blame on her.
Thinking of this, she immediately perked up: "Sis, did you misplace it? What kind of ring is it? Or, can I help you look for it?"
The moment the words were spoken, the living room fell into a deathly silence, with only the occasional clanging of spatulas from the kitchen.
"Zhenzhen, you took the ring, didn't you?"
Although Xia Shih-han asked a question, her tone conveyed certainty.
Meeting her unwavering gaze, Xia Zhenzhen felt a moment of panic: "Sister, what are you saying? We're sisters, why would I steal your ring?"
As they were talking, the door opened, and Gu Baiwei stepped in.
Xia Zhenzhen's eyes darted around, and she immediately pointed at Gu Baiwei and said, "Sister, maybe she took it. We're real sisters. In fact, she and Sun Yuehua are the only two outsiders in this family. Either she or Sun Yuehua took your ring."
Sun Yuehua had just brought out the stir-fried dishes when she heard this sentence, and she was so shocked that she almost dropped the plate in her hand: "Miss Xia, it wasn't me."
She finally found such a good job, and she should be working hard, so why would she steal from her employer?
Before Xia Shihhan could speak, Gu Baiwei approached in her high heels, frowning as she looked Xia Zhenzhen up and down: "Who took it? A search will tell."
She turned to Xia Shihhan and said, "Shihhan, you can search my room as you please."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yuehua immediately echoed, "Miss Gu, please feel free to search my room as well."
Anyway, the two of them are upright and have nothing to fear, but some people are afraid.
Xia Zhenzhen's face turned pale. She had hidden the ring under her pillow in the room. Wouldn't a search reveal it? No, she absolutely couldn't let that happen.
