Chapter 291 Go and try it
Jin Guilan felt a little embarrassed when she saw that Director Lu's guests had left as soon as she arrived.
But remembering her husband's instructions, she steeled herself and said, "Director Lu, Xiao Zhuang, I'm just here to ask if you're planning to hire a nanny to take care of the child."
Zhuang Qingxiang immediately guessed that Jin Lili had sent her, and her brows furrowed slightly: "Sister Jin, I had no such intention."
Jin Guilan simply said to Director Lu, "Director Lu, please don't think I'm being too talkative, but Xiao Zhuang is already exhausted enough taking care of two children during the day and three children at night. She also has to do housework, cook, and entertain guests... Even a good person can't withstand this kind of strain. I think your family really needs a nanny to help take care of the children and do housework."
Lu Congyue thought it made sense, so he went to see Zhuang Qingxiang.
Zhuang Qingxiang refused with a stern face: "Sister Jin, I can manage on my own, I don't need a nanny!"
Zhuang Qingxiang rarely treated outsiders this way. Lu Congyue then looked at Jin Guilan, wondering if she had done something to anger his wife.
"Xiao Zhuang, you don't understand," Jin Guilan couldn't help but advise. "If you're always tied to the house taking care of the kids, you'll feel suffocated. Look at me, it was okay when Lili was around, but once she left, I was left to take care of the kids and do housework all by myself. I felt really uncomfortable and always wanted to lose my temper."
Zhuang Qingxiang could tell that Jin Guilan was sincere in saying those words, and her expression softened.
Lu Congyue then said, "I listen to my wife; she makes the decisions in our family."
Jin Guilan almost blurted out "Ouch!" She never expected Director Lu to be like this.
He seemed like a difficult person to get along with, but it turned out he was afraid of his wife.
Of course, that's not how you say it; you have to use a different word.
"Director Lu is a doting husband," she said with a smile.
Zhuang Qingxiang blushed slightly. She wasn't used to outsiders talking about her and her husband's affairs. After thinking for a moment, she said directly, "Sister Jin, did Jin Lili send you to say this? She mentioned it to me, but I refused. We have our own arrangements for the children. We really don't need to hire a nanny."
Seeing that Lu Congyue was so determined and had no objections, Jin Guilan could only leave empty-handed.
When she got home, she saw Jin Lili dozing on the sofa in the living room. She called out to her, and Jin Lili quickly sat up.
"Auntie, you're back? What did Sister Zhuang say?"
Li Weixing also came out of the bedroom and asked, "How is it?"
Jin Guilan shook her head: "They don't agree."
"Disagrees?" Li Weixing frowned. "Didn't you talk to her properly?"
"I've explained it to them nicely, but they firmly refuse," Jin Guilan said helplessly. "What can I do?"
At this moment, her grandson in her arms started to fuss, so Jin Guilan picked him up and soothed him a couple of times before handing him over to Jin Lili to put the child to sleep.
After Jin Lili left the living room with the child, Jin Guilan lowered her voice and said, "Old Li, are you mistaken? I see that Director Lu and Xiao Zhuang have a very good relationship. Their marriage is definitely fine. There's no need to ask."
"You know nothing!" Li Weixing cursed.
Xiao Yu got in touch with Guan Jing, Lu Congyue's stepmother, and learned some incredible things from her.
If this is true, then Lu Congyue is finished!
Li Weixing looked at Jin Guilan and became more and more disgusted.
Although I've gotten older and my figure has changed, I was still quite energetic when I was working.
What now?
He was old, fat, and stupid, not to mention slovenly and always had a long face.
"Alright, that's none of your business. Just stay home and take care of your grandson!"
Jin Guilan disliked his tone and wanted to argue, but Li Weixing impatiently called out, "Lili, aren't you leaving? Let your aunt go see the child. I'll see you off."
"Li Weixing!" Jin Guilan called out irritably.
Li Weixing didn't want to see her anymore, so he called Jin Lili and left. Jin Guilan was so angry that she wanted to smash things, but Xiao Sun was still making a fuss, so she could only suppress her anger and coax the child to take a nap.
After Li Weixing and Jin Lili left their home, Li Weixing told Jin Lili to go back to work, and they would figure out a solution for what to do here.
Jin Lili didn't dare tell anyone that she wouldn't have a job when she got back, so she forced herself to say, "How about I go directly to Director Lu?"
Li Weixing immediately guessed what she was planning to do and scoffed, "Go buy a mirror and look at yourself. Do you think you can compare to that guy surnamed Zhuang?"
"I'm younger than her!" Jin Lili said through gritted teeth, cursing Li Weixing in her heart.
She may not be as pretty as Zhuang Qingxiang, but he didn't have to be so blunt, did he?
"Whatever you want. If you actually manage to do it..." Li Weixing smiled, "I'll give you five hundred yuan!"
Jin Lili's heart pounded.
Five hundred yuan?!
She had never seen so much money in her life!
She worked as a nanny at Li Weixing's house, where she was provided with food and lodging, but she wasn't paid.
She went to work, and at first she only got eighteen yuan a month. How long would it take her to earn five hundred yuan?
Jin Lili couldn't even keep up with the calculations.
Li Weixing didn't think Jin Lili would succeed, but since she was willing to try, then so be it. If she succeeded, there was no need to investigate the shady dealings in their marital relationship; they could simply use Jin Lili to nail Lu Congyue to the pillar of shame.
Li Weixing abandoned his responsibilities and waited for news.
After thinking about it, Jin Lili decided to go back to where she was currently living.
She planned to wait until after get off work to try again, hoping to run into Director Lu and make her move directly on him.
While Jin Lili was eyeing Lu Congyue, Zhuang Qingxiang also told Lu Congyue about Jin Lili's offer to come to their house as a nanny.
Lu Congyue would never hire someone like Jin Lili as a nanny at home; he found her too dirty.
"If she comes to bother us again, don't give her any face," Lu Congyue said with a stern face before leaving.
Zhuang Qingxiang thought so too.
But neither of them expected that Jin Lili would go straight for Lu Congyue.
In the afternoon, Lu Congyue, who had been working overtime for a while, hadn't even gotten home when a girl walking towards him tripped and fell down in front of him.
Lu Congyue frowned and turned the corner without looking to the side.
Jin Lili, who was sitting on the ground, was about to cry when she realized the person was gone. She quickly called out twice, "Ouch... Ouch..."
As a result, Lu Congyue walked faster and faster, and soon he disappeared from sight.
Jin Lili almost fainted from anger.
Is this supposed to be a leader? He saw someone fall and didn't even bother to help them up.
The next day at noon, Lu Congyue got his food from the cafeteria and was hurrying home when a figure suddenly rushed over and almost bumped into him.
Fortunately, Lu Congyue reacted quickly, stepping to the right and seeing the girl who was about to bump into him take two steps forward before finally regaining her balance.
Lu Congyue thought for a second, then suddenly kicked a small stone away.
The girl tripped and fell to the ground.
Lu Congyue glanced at the distance between the two of them. Well, no one could say it was related to him. He left.
When Jin Lili was helped up, she covered her chin and cried incessantly.
She had clearly regained her balance, but somehow she fell heavily again, her chin burning with pain.
