“Let’s go, Auntie will show you your room. Young lady, you left in such a hurry. You didn’t even bring your luggage, you only brought a schoolbag. But it doesn’t matter, Auntie will take you to the mall tomorrow and bring you shopping!”
The woman was completely immersed in her own world, as if she didn’t care about what Chu Ning was thinking at all.
“Auntie Liu, may i ask if the decoration of this room was like this when you bought it, or if you bought the roughcast house and then renovated it yourself?”
Chu Ning decided to ask what she wanted to know the most first. As for the question of her identity, Chen Chen would reveal the answer when he returned.
“Young lady, you really know a lot. You can even tell the difference between a roughcast house and a renovated one. Not bad, not bad. However, all our rooms are pre-decorated. The proprietor had chosen a style in advance and we were able to move in directly when the keys were handed over. In the future, if we’re not satisfied, we can choose to redecorate it ourselves.”
The woman looked at Chu Ning with appreciation and then explained.
“Okay, thank you for telling me, Auntie Liu.”
Chu Ning already knew that she only needed to buy some daily necessities to live here.
“You’re welcome. We’re going to live together anyway, so it’s only right to tell you this. I’ll register your identity with the property in a few days, and then you can freely enter and exit this neighborhood. There’s nothing else to pay attention to. I’ll give you a pamphlet later. There are precautions to take note of.”
The woman spoke enthusiastically, but suddenly, she felt that something was amiss. She kept having the feeling that something was off.
“Young lady.” The woman suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Ning suspiciously.
“How did you get in?” Only then did she realize that, logically speaking, it was impossible for Chu Ning to enter this community, unless she was a relative of the owner, or she was an owner herself!
“Me? I just told the security guard my name and came in,” Chu Ning said with a smile.
Could she climb over the wall to get in? Even if she wanted to, her body wouldn’t allow it. Her knee hadn’t recovered yet, and the walls were surrounded by electric fences…
“Huh? How is this possible!” The woman was surprised, and even her husband was deep in thought.
At this moment, Chen Chen returned with a black face. Once he returned home, his face would rarely show any other expression. It was even rarer to see his smile.
When the woman brought Chu Ning down the stairs after they finished looking at the rooms on the second floor, Chen Chen happened to step into his house. Thus, Chu Ning and Chen Chen looked at each other.
“Xiao Chen, you’re back. This is the new nanny that I told you about. How is she? Are you satisfied? She’s about the same age as you, but she’s much more diligent than you. You should learn more from her in the future!”
The woman introduced Chu Ning to Chen Chen as soon as she saw him.
However, the expression on Chen Chen’s face could be described as colorful.
For a moment, he thought that he was at school.
Otherwise, why would he meet Chu Ning here?
Wait. What did his mother say?
The new nanny?
Chen Chen pinched himself hard to ensure that he was not dreaming. He looked again at Chu Ning, who was looking at him with a smile on her face, then at his mother.
“Mom, what did you say she was?” Chen Chen said in disbelief, pointing at Chu Ning.
“She is our new nanny. Xiao Chen, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly pinch yourself? Did something happen at school?” The woman asked in confusion.
Chen Chen slapped his forehead. Chu Ning was real. There was no mistake.
Then there was something wrong with his mother.
What kind of joke was this?!
Even though he knew that Chu Ning’s current family situation might not be very good, she, Chu Ning, was someone who was dismissive even towards Yan Shen. How could she come to his house to be a nanny? The world had changed?
Although he didn’t understand how Chu Ning came to this neighborhood, it was very obvious that Chu Ning wouldn’t be a nanny in his house!
“Mom, do you know who is standing next to you?” Chen Chen felt that the words he had uttered at home today was probably the most he had said in a day for this month.
The woman was a little happy. She thought that the new girl had played a role today, so her son was willing to say a few more words, but she did not expect him to suddenly ask this question again.
“Son, she is the new nanny recommended by your sister-in-law Mrs. Wang. Her name is…”
Before the woman could finish her sentence, Chen Chen interrupted her.
“Her name is Chu Ning.”
