Mr. Bo, my wife is going on a date with someone again.

The next day.

Yan Ji was discussing the show with Sheng Rugu when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Xiao Ji..."

It’s Zhou Shuyue.

Although Sheng Rugu didn't know everything about Yan Ji's past, she didn't like Zhou Shuyue's mother at all. What mother wouldn't protect her own child? But after all, it was someone else's family affair, even if it was a close friend, it was not convenient for her to interfere too much. She stood up with her notebook: "Well, I suddenly remembered that there are still a few invitations that haven't been sent out. I'll go write them first. We'll talk about the show later."

After saying that, she glanced at Zhou Shuyue, turned around and left without saying hello.

Yan Ji stood up and nodded at her: "What's the matter?"

She thought that her aloofness last night had made it clear enough that she didn't want to have anything to do with the Yan family anymore, but she didn't expect Zhou Shuyue to come to her on her own initiative.

"There's a party tonight, do you want to go with me?" Afraid that Yan Ji would refuse, she hastily added, "Aren't you going to hold a show? There will be a lot of people your age coming to the party tonight, so it's a good opportunity to develop some potential clients."

Yan Ji: "Develop potential customers in your circle?"

Everyone knew that she and Mu Yunyao had conflicts. Those whose family backgrounds were not as good as Mu's were afraid of being implicated if they got close to her, while those whose family backgrounds were stronger than Mu's were unwilling to create hatred for a powerless orphan like her.

Zhou Shuyue thought of Yan Ji's previous bullying, and a guilty look emerged on her face: "Xiao Ji, I'm sorry, mom brought you back, but didn't take good care of you, causing you so much harm..."

Yan Ji: "You don't have to feel sorry. Instead, I should thank you. Thank you for bringing me back to the Yan family and letting me escape from that town, from... that madman."

This is a knife, covered with rust from the years, stabbing into her heart bit by bit in a slow manner.

"Little Thorn..."

Zhou Shuyue's voice choked with sobs, and she could no longer control her tears, which fell down. She recalled the scene when she first saw Yan Ji in that small town. She was fourteen years old, but she looked only eleven years old, with a thin and dry body, and a dull face. She was locked in a dark basement. When he saw her, he didn't even raise his eyes. She was obviously so young, but she was like a lifeless puppet.

She couldn't help crying, but Yan Ji didn't react at all. He even handed her a tissue: "Do you have anything else to do today?"

No one is more skilled in killing people and destroying their hearts than Yan Ji. In fact, she does not hate the Yan family. If they can distance themselves from each other, they will owe each other nothing. But Zhou Shuyue wants to make amends, and what she hates most is this kind of attempt to close the fold after the horse has bolted, which will make the darkness in her heart grow.

Zhou Shuyue saw the impatience in her eyes and barely suppressed her tears, "Do you have a dress here that I can wear?"

She didn't lack dresses, she just wanted to help Yan Ji. She owed too much to her daughter. Now she wanted to make up for it, but found that she had already been as impenetrable as a solid wall.

Yan Ji: “Yes.”

She has always been very clear about matters like grudges and making money.

This incident was just an episode for Yan Ji. She didn't even ask what banquet Zhou Shuyue attended or where it was held. Naturally, she didn't pay attention to what happened afterwards.

……

Aunt Song was injured, although not seriously, but she could not do housework. Her children were not around, so Yan Ji let her recuperate in the Gu Mansion and specially hired two people, one to take care of her and the other to take over her job in the short term.

Aunt Song was hanging one arm, with the other hand on her waist. She looked at Yan Ji with a look of disappointment, and her eyes kept scanning the housekeeper who was busy in the kitchen: "Madam, how can you hire such a young housekeeper? Not to mention the experience, what if she has any ideas..."

"Although most girls are self-respecting and strong, there is no guarantee that there will be a few with ulterior motives. Madam, please listen to Aunt Song and let's find someone else. I have been in this business for a long time and have seen many men and women. I can tell what is going on in the other person's mind at a glance."

Yan Ji was looking at the blueprints on a tablet. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked towards the kitchen. The woman was wearing a slim long skirt, her waist was pinched so that it could be held in one hand, and her long hair was pinned behind her head, revealing her fair and slender neck.

It's no wonder Aunt Song reacted so strongly. This outfit really doesn't look like a nanny's attire, but she didn't hire her to be a nanny: "Aunt Song, I know my limits."

Aunt Song was very disappointed: "Madam..."

She said it so clearly, why couldn't the lady understand?

"Click."

There was a sound of the door being unlocked. The next second, Gu Chenye pushed the door open. His eyes subconsciously swept around the living room until he saw Yan Ji sitting cross-legged on the sofa. Then he lowered his head to change his shoes.

After changing his shoes, he walked in and hung his coat on the hanger. A pair of slender white hands reached out to him: "Sir, let me do it."

Gu Chenye looked at the strange young woman in front of him and frowned: "Who are you?"

The woman looked at him with a gleam in her eyes: "Sir, I'm the new nanny, you can call me Xiao..."

The other person was too close, and the smell of the girl's perfume hit me in the face.

He took a step back, his brows knitted into a knot, and looked at Yan Ji with a warning look, "Yan Ji, explain what's going on?"

Yan Ji: "The new nanny is Xiao Xia. Aunt Song needs to recover from her injuries. Xiao Xia will be responsible for her three meals a day during this period."

"..."

Gu Chenye avoided Xiao Xia's outstretched hand and walked into the living room with a cold face. Since he entered the door, this woman's eyes were almost glued to him. He didn't believe that Yan Ji didn't see it. She clearly did it on purpose. Who would hire a nanny dressed like this?

He sat down next to Yan Ji, and the look he gave her was like a sharp blade, wishing he could eat her alive: "Change the person."

Yan Ji: "The contract has been signed, for three months."

"Pay liquidated damages."

The woman paused while scrolling the screen and looked up: "But I like young and good-looking ones. If you don't want a girl, then I can ask the housekeeping company to arrange a man?"

"..." Gu Chenye gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words from his throat: "Don't even think about it."

The man went upstairs with a cold face and didn't even come down to eat dinner. He called Bo Jingzhou and got straight to the point as soon as the call was connected: "She stuffed a woman into my mouth."

"Who?" Bo Jingzhou had been in meetings all day and his mind was full of work. He didn't listen carefully to what he said: "Yan Ji?"

Gu Chenye snorted coldly: "Forget it, what can I say to a straight-gutted animal like you? Hang up. If you know how to chase women, you won't be unable to handle Shen Wanci after all these years."

"Sir..." As soon as he hung up the phone, the nanny named Xiao Xia came in with milk: "You didn't go downstairs for dinner, so my wife asked me to bring you a glass of milk."
