Chapter 15
Su Ruowan didn’t get that ten thousand dollars. It would be a lie to say that she didn’t feel sad. She was browsing the recruitment advertisements with a frown on her face when her mobile phone rang again.
“Ruowan,” Wu Lili greeted on the other end of the line. “I have good news for you! I found a good job. Do you want to take it?”
“A good job?” Su Ruowan got curious. “Did you find me another job like being a model or something? Lili, I’m not suitable for that kind of job—”
“Nonono!” Wu Lili interrupted impatiently. “It’s not that kind of job this time. A friend of mine found something that will be suitable for you. Will you do it or not?”
“What is it?” asked Su Ruowan in confusion.
Later, in the Li family’s villa.
“Just call me Aunt Yang. Come on, let me tell you about your duties…” As soon as Su Ruowan arrived at the Li family’s villa, Aunt Yang kindly showed her around the house.
After explaining the allocation of the maids and the things that Su Ruowan needed to pay attention to, she finally added, “Mr. Li is a workaholic. He leaves the house early and comes back late every day. You probably won’t cross paths with him. But you will definitely run into Young Master. He’s very cute, but he is a little naughty and likes to play pranks on everyone. Otherwise, the turnover in the servants working here wouldn’t be so high… But don’t worry, he is in kindergarten now. He’ll only be at home during the weekends.”
Su Ruowan nodded as she listened.
Once she was sent to officially start working, she cleaned every room of the two-story villa and washed every sheet and quilt with great enthusiasm.
Although manual labor was simple and tedious, it gave her a sense of accomplishment. Even when she felt exhausted, she motivated herself by thinking, ‘Come on, just keep working! I have to work hard to raise Jiu Jiu!’
She even changed her display name on her Weibo account to “Work Hard For Cute Baby”!
Although she deliberately ignored the messages that were pouring in from strangers, she still felt a little startled and helpless seeing a steep increase of more than 10, 000 in the number of followers she had… She couldn’t understand how people could be idle enough to spend so much time gossiping on the internet every day. In fact, it was all Jing Muchen’s fault. As soon as he returned from abroad, he had created a Weibo account. Although he hadn’t posted anything yet, he had already amassed nearly ten million followers, consisting mostly of desperate fangirls. He was really a playboy!
After completing all her tasks, Su Ruowan found that it was still early, so she stayed and chatted with Aunt Yang for a while.
She told her that she had a four-year-old daughter who was studying in Jin Daishu Kindergarten. Unexpectedly, Aunt Yang patted her thigh and smiled. “What a coincidence! Young Master was recently transferred to Jin Daishu Kindergarten, too. That’s really good. Lao Zhou will go there to pick him up, so he can give you a ride as well.”
Although Su Ruowan felt a little embarrassed, she had no choice but to agree.
When she walked out of the gate, she found a black car waiting there. Lao Zhou, the driver, was an honest man in his 40s. Once Su Ruowan climbed into the car, he drove to Jin Daishu Kindergarten with a simple smile on his face.
It was Friday, so the students were let off a little early. By the time the black car arrived at the gate of the kindergarten, most of the children had already been picked up by their parents.
From afar, through the car window, Su Ruowan saw a female teacher in a light blue dress standing at the school gate, holding hands with Jiu Jiu and Yan Yan.
When the car stopped, Su Ruowan said to Lao Zhou, “I saw my daughter. Thank you, Mr. Zhou.”
Lao Zhou nodded with a polite smile.
After getting out of the car, Su Ruowan waved cheerfully to Jiu Jiu. When Jiu Jiu saw her mother stepping out of the car, her eyes widened with curiosity. “Mommy!”
Su Ruowan bent down and picked her up before glancing at Yan Yan. “Hello there.”
Yan Yan’s eyes lit up. With a bright smile, he greeted, “Beautiful sister, we meet again!”
With her hands around Su Ruowan’s neck, Jiu Jiu asked softly, “Mommy, why did you come here with Yan Yan’s father today?”
Father? Su Ruowan was still reeling from surprise when she heard Lao Zhou’s voice from behind. “Miss Su, is this your daughter? She is so cute!”
Turning around, Su Ruowan saw Lao Zhou walking over with a kids’ water bottle. Standing beside her, Yan Yan said with dissatisfaction, “Lao Zhou, you are late again!”
Lao Zhou just smiled and handed the bottle to Jing Yanxi. “Young Master, let’s get in the car.”
Yan Yan lifted the lid of the bottle and took a sip of water. Then, he raised his left eyebrow and said, “Don’t you see that my friend is here? Why should I get in the car?”
Su Ruowan was taken aback to see the young boy act in such a gentlemanly way.
Yan Yan walked up to her and held her hand. He grinned and said, “Beautiful sister, did Lao Zhou drive you here to pick up Jiu Jiu? Let him drive you home, okay?”
Yan Yan’s little hand was so warm and soft that Su Ruowan couldn’t help but squeeze it. For some inexplicable reason, she was very fond of this child. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that he resembled Jing Muchen… But how could it be possible? Yan Yan’s family name should be Li.
With a smile on her face, Su Ruowan gently declined his offer. “No, thanks. We’re not heading the same way.”
Yan Yan immediately pouted. He glanced at Lao Zhou and said, “We can go home after we send you home.”
Seeing Su Ruowan hesitating, Lao Zhou chimed in, “Miss Su, please get in the car. It seems that Young Master likes you very much.”
Eventually, the four of them got in the car together.
Sitting with the two children in the back seat, Su Ruowan told Lao Zhou the address of her house, and the black car started slowly.
