Chapter 10

“Mrs. Wu, before I came to you, I told you that you only need to do one thing, which is to take good care of Xiaobao. Also, when did I ever tell you that you can live here with your family?”

Wu Guihua was stunned for a moment, her right hand still raised high, as if to slap Sheng Kangning.

His hands froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with disbelief.

It was an indescribable feeling of shame!

Wu Guihua’s blood seemed to be drained out, her face was pale, her mind raced, and she immediately started to argue:

“Captain Chu, my family doesn’t live here. It’s just a coincidence today. They came to the city to do some work and will go back after dinner! Really! They don’t live here. How dare I do that without your permission!”

The man standing next to Wu Guihua looked up at Chu Nanzhou.

But he soon lowered his eyes.

There was some unwillingness in his eyes.

Chu Nanzhou glanced at the group of people, his face as gloomy as water. The self-restraint he had developed since childhood prevented him from saying anything unpleasant:

“I was inconsiderate. Your family is burdened with heavy responsibilities. So, pack up and go home today!”

When Wu Guihua heard this, tears immediately burst out of her eyes and she collapsed to the ground:

“I’m sorry! Captain Chu, I didn’t do that. I…I really didn’t mean it. My family came to the city today and just stayed at my place to rest. I was so busy that I didn’t pay attention to Xiaobao and didn’t take good care of him. I’m sorry! I won’t do it again next time, really!

Captain Chu, I have been taking care of Xiaobao since he was born. For so long, I have regarded him as my own grandson. Please let me go! I can’t bear to leave him!”

Wu Guihua really couldn’t bear to part with the nanny fee of twenty yuan a month.

I am even more reluctant to leave such a big yard.

Captain Chu is a soldier. Once he goes out, he will be away for two or three months at the shortest and a year or two at the longest.

Since Captain Chu is not at home, Wu Guihua can live in this yard however she wants.

Ever since Chu Nanzhou left home at the end of last year, Wu Guihua brought her family over, and the whole family lives in the city.

Of course she would be reluctant to do so since she doesn’t have to spend a penny!

“Captain Chu, for Xiaobao’s sake, please let me stay here! I will definitely take good care of Xiaobao! I raised Xiaobao with my own hands, and I can’t bear to leave him!

Also, my family will never come here again! Even if they go to the city, I won’t let them into this yard! I promise!”

Wu Guihua looked flustered. After explaining, she raised her hand to slap herself, but was stopped by Chu Nanzhou.

Wu Guihua shed tears:

“Xiaobao fell like this, I am sorry for him!”

After hearing this, Sheng Kangning wanted to roll his eyes. Now he was about to fall again!

Chu Nanzhou:

“Mrs. Wu, you don’t have to be like this. You don’t have to be like this because Xiaobao has grown up. I came back this time to take him away with me. Your family happens to be here, so they will help you pack up and go home!”

Wu Guihua asked in surprise: “What about this house?”

Chu Nanzhou said coldly:

“The house is public property. When I leave, I have to hand it over. The things in the house have all been registered with the government. When I leave, someone will come to count them. If anything is missing, I will be held accountable.”

The meaning is very clear.

If you want to leave, you can leave. You can only take your own things with you. You cannot take anything in this yard with you.

After hearing what Chu Nanzhou said, the man next to Wu Guihua reached out and picked up Wu Guihua from the ground, saying unhappily:

“Okay, we don’t need you anymore, pack up and go home!”

Wu Guihua’s eyes were red and her head was drooping. No matter how unwilling she was, she had to turn around and go into the yard.

Sheng Kangning lowered his eyes and quietly lifted the clothes on the little baby. He saw that the little baby’s body was covered with bruises and many pinch marks.

Sheng Kangning looked at Wu Guihua’s back and felt sad for the little girl.

He is so young, yet he fell into the hands of such a cruel woman!

This woman named Mrs. Wu kept saying that she took care of Xiaobao like her own grandson, but what was the reality?

She is abusing the child!

After Sheng Kangning glared at Wu Guihua, he looked at Chu Nanzhou and felt that this man had very poor taste.

Who did you choose?

Sheng Kangning snorted coldly.

Realizing that Sheng Kangning was looking at him, Chu Nanzhou turned his head and glanced at Sheng Kangning.

Sheng Kangning had already withdrawn his gaze, biting his lip, and was huffing.

Chu Nanzhou raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.

I thought that this little girl might be unhappy and angry because Mrs. Wu treated her as a kidnapper!

He called out to Wu Guihua who had already walked into the yard:

“Mrs. Wu!”

Wu Guihua had just walked a few steps when she heard Chu Nanzhou’s voice. She stopped and looked back, thinking that Chu Nanzhou had changed his mind and wanted to use her. She smiled:

“Captain Chu, if there is anything you need me to do, just tell me.”

Chu Nanzhou had a cold face:

“Mrs. Wu, you forgot to apologize to this little girl!”

Sheng Kangning bit his lip.

She really didn’t mean that!

When Wu Guihua looked at Sheng Kangning, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

He lowered his eyes, and the swagger on his chubby face was gone. He apologized to Sheng Kangning in a low voice:

“I’m sorry, little girl. I was too anxious before! I treated you as a kidnapper! Please forgive me for once!”

Sheng Kangning had seen many people like Wu Guihua during the seven years he spent in the countryside.

This kind of person is used to taking a feather as a token of authority and looking down on others. The best punishment for such a person is to indulge her until she doesn’t know who she is.

Something is bound to happen sooner or later.

So Sheng Kangning didn’t mind at all.

She just felt sorry for the little baby in her arms.

Sheng Kangning shook his head and said in a light voice: “It’s okay! You haven’t seen me before, it’s better to be cautious.”

Sheng Kangning’s voice is just like her, sweet and soft.

Wu Guihua glanced at Chu Nanzhou again, and seeing that he had no intention of talking to her, she turned around and walked into the yard like a frost-bitten eggplant.

The doorway suddenly became quiet.

Chu Nanzhou walked up to Sheng Kangning and looked at her with those cold and scrutinizing eyes, with such an aura.

Sheng Kangning was unable to hold on and took two steps back involuntarily.

“you……”

They both spoke at the same time.

Chu Nanzhou: “You speak first.”

Sheng Kangning quickly explained:

“I really lived here before. My name is Sheng Kangning. This is my grandma’s house. I have lived here since I was five years old. I have lived here for ten years. I came here today just to take a look. In three days, I will go to the countryside. I don’t know when I will be back!”

It’s very quiet around.

Sheng Kangning himself was also quite surprised. Why would he tell so much about himself to a stranger?

Chu Nanzhou’s eyes were as sharp as an interrogator:

“Your name is Sheng Kangning?”

Sheng Kangning nodded.

“What’s your mother’s name?”

“My mother’s name is Ling Qing, she’s a doctor. When I was five years old… No! I just want to say that I’m really not a kidnapper!”

After Sheng Kangning finished speaking, he sent the little treasure in his arms towards Chu Nanzhou.

But the little doll hanging on Sheng Kangning refused to let go.

Sheng Kangning pulled the corner of his mouth, smiled awkwardly, and said to Chu Nanzhou:

“Xiaobao might be frightened. How about I hold him for a while longer?”

Chu Nanzhou nodded: “Thank you for your help!”
