Chapter 1795: A Seven-Grade Official
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In this world, it was really impossible to find another man who was more outstanding and could bring oneself more glory than Zhai Sheng. After having the best and most perfect man in this world, it was fine to have fun with those with flaws or even incomparable ones. However, when it came to marriage, Qiu Chenxi was not interested at all.
It didn’t make sense that the man she was going to find after the divorce with Zhai Sheng was going to be worse, right?
“Mom, you could tolerate my dad having another family outside. Can’t Zhai Sheng just forgive me this once? Could it be that men are pettier than women?” Why was it that men had to be calculative about the things women could do?
What was more important than two people being happy together?
“Don’t think about this matter. It’s impossible for Zhai Sheng to forgive you on this.” Even if she was her biological daughter, Qi Minlan couldn’t say anything that went against her conscience. “Your grandfather was long gone. Your uncle died even earlier. Although Shi Qing is pretty promising, our relationship with her hasn’t been very good. If not for me not having a family who could back me up, do you think I would really not have cared about your dad’s affairs outside? There are generally two scenarios for not caring and not minding. One is that our relationship is too deep and I’m willing to give the other party another chance. The other is that I purely don’t have the capability to be calculative.”
Although Zhai Sheng was once her son-in-law, she could tell that Zhai Sheng didn’t have any feelings toward her daughter at all. If not for Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing agreeing back then, Zhai Sheng wouldn’t have married Chenxi at all.
If Zhai Sheng had any feelings for Chenxi, would he not have touched her even once when they had been married for three years?
Without this big premise, Chenxi might not have an affair and do something sorry to Zhai Sheng. However, Chenxi was ultimately the wrong party. If one wanted to pursue the matter, a couple could just get a divorce if they didn’t lead a harmonious husband-wife relationship. There wasn’t any reason to have an affair.
Zhai Sheng didn’t have any feelings for her daughter and was a very capable man. In the face of her daughter’s affair, Zhai Sheng would naturally rather remain single for a lifetime than give her daughter a chance to turn over a new leaf.
Qi Minlan didn’t say it explicitly, but Qiu Chenxi understood the meaning in her biological mother’s words. What she was looking forward to would definitely not happen. “What should I do then?” She really didn’t have any other choice. If not for this, she wouldn’t have had such a naive idea.
It wasn’t as if she really didn’t understand. It was just that when she was at her wits’ end, she could only come up with a whimsical idea to see if there were other possibilities and opportunities.
What else could Qi Minlan say?
“Forget it. Don’t be anxious. If you are, the Zhai family would definitely be more anxious than you. As long as Zhai Sheng doesn’t have another woman by his side and he doesn’t plan to remarry, your chances of success would at least be a little higher than the rest.” Who asked Chenxi to be Zhai Sheng’s only marriage partner in the past forty years?
From this point alone, even though her daughter had an affair, she still had a certain advantage.
The Zhai family didn’t know about Qiu Chenxi’s and Qi Minlan’s plans. Otherwise, they would really want to give this shameless mother and daughter a slap. They were really amazed at their self-confidence.
However, there’s something Qi Minlan and Qiu Chenxi didn’t know and couldn’t have guessed. Who said that there wasn’t any woman by Zhai Sheng’s side apart from Qiu Chenxi?
Qiao Nan was one!
The landlady’s son only spent two days to bring back a new nanny and a specialist doctor to the Zhai family’s old house in Qingshui Town.
Upon seeing the scenery of Qingshui Town, the doctor gave a high degree of affirmation. “No wonder the chief would want to come here. The water’s clear, the air’s fresh, and the environment’s quiet. Indeed, it is very suitable for one to re… recuperate.” The doctor initially wanted to say to retire. After all, after seeing the environment of Qingshui Town, the first thought that appeared in his mind was that when he retired, he could perhaps buy a house here.
“Is that so?” As a person from Qingshui Town, Xiao Xu was extremely proud. “This is the chief’s old house. I’ll lead the way.” As they were walking, Xiao Xu deliberately reminded the newly-hired nanny that the chief liked the quiet and didn’t like to be disturbed.
Aside from cleaning the house and cooking meals for the chief, the nanny didn’t need to do any other unnecessary things. She also didn’t need to bring the freshly prepared meals and cut fruits to the chief personally. It was fine as long as they ended up in his hands.
He was a person who insisted on a male doctor and a male nurse to take care of him. Xiao Xu really didn’t dare to let the nanny get too close to Zhai Sheng. Otherwise, the nanny might cause Zhai Sheng to be irritated, and he would have to make a trip to Ping Cheng again to get another nanny.
It was easy to find a nanny. However, to find one that could take good care of the chief wasn’t as easy.
“Yes, sir. Don’t worry. I still remember everything you’ve said on the road. I won’t make any mistakes. As long as the chief doesn’t call for me, I won’t appear in front of him.” The new nanny was approximately in her thirties and seemed quite honest.
She dared not be dishonest. She had given her best time to her ex-husband. Who knew that her ex-husband earned a little money after starting his business and started to despise her? He wanted to divorce her and marry a popular netizen. Upon thinking about this, she was furious.
Indeed, after getting married, she no longer went outside to work. However, without her taking care of everything at home on behalf of her husband, serving the four elderly people well, and teaching the children properly, would her ex-husband be able to devote himself to his career?
She wasn’t willing to spend her ex-husband’s hard-earned money. In the end, the money she saved benefitted that shameless vixen. This was what broke her heart most.
She became a divorcee in her thirties. She really didn’t dare to believe that after divorcing her ex-husband, she couldn’t find a job to support herself. She was going to earn even her son’s living expenses!
The nanny had no other skills. However, she was really good at taking care of people and doing housework. Knowing that being a nanny now could earn quite a bit of money, she decided to use her expertise and enter this business.
What she didn’t expect was that the first time she tested the waters, she would be so lucky to have been fancied by the soldier. He said that he was going to let her take care of some chief. He sounded like a big official.
No matter what, she would benefit from taking care of such a big shot in the future. Didn’t they say that one was a seven-grade official in front of a prime minister? It should more or less be the same meaning if she became the chief’s nanny. She wouldn’t be worse off than a seven-grade official.
