Chapter 371: The Hired Nanny
After saying this, Chen Man moved her gaze away from Mo Zhu and looked around the room indifferently. She saw that there was suddenly an obedient little girl hiding in the corner of the room. She frowned slightly and looked up to ask Mo Wu, “Who is this girl? Why haven’t I seen her in the small mansion before?”
Mo Jiu looked at the young nanny and scratched his head lightly as he replied, “Madam, Young Master was afraid that no one would serve Ms. Mo here, so he specially instructed me to hire someone to take care of her. Mo Jiu and I just brought her here, so it’s normal that you haven’t seen her before.”
When Chen Man heard this, she sized up the little girl standing in the corner for a while. After a while, she shook her head and said, “No matter how good a girl is at taking care of others, she definitely can’t compare to the people on the old master’s side.”
After pausing for a few seconds, Chen Man turned to look at Mo Zhu. She touched the back of the girl’s hand and said softly, “Xiao Zhu, we’ve all heard about what happened last night from Huan’er. It’s all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, we definitely wouldn’t have been able to return safely from the Kang family. I’m very worried about your recovery now. How about this? You go back to the Huo family’s old mansion with me and I’ll take care of you personally!”
Mo Zhu patted Chen Man’s hand comfortingly and looked straight into the woman’s concerned eyes. She replied lightly, “Auntie, my health is already much better. In addition, I’m still involved in the training at the research institute. It wouldn’t be good if they found out that I’m not back.”!!
Thinking of the research institute, Mo Zhu was a little worried. She did not return to the dormitory last night and she did not know if Meng Ran and the others could hide it from the teachers on duty who patrolled the corridor every day.
Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s words, Chen Man didn’t want to force her. She immediately nodded in understanding and replied, “Alright, Xiao Zhu, if you have anything on, feel free to call Auntie. If you’re not used to living in the research institute, go straight back to the old mansion. Just do your best in the Mathematics competition this time. You don’t have to force yourself to fight for a ranking!”
Two days ago, Chen Man had found out from Huo Xuan that Mo Zhu had participated in the preliminaries of the Mathematical Olympiad in Jingyang High School and had passed the preliminaries to enter the finals. Although she was very surprised that Mo Zhu could enter the finals with her standard, when she heard that this was a team competition, she was certain in her heart that it was precisely because of this special arrangement this year that Mo Zhu had such good luck to pass the preliminaries. It was definitely with the help of the students with top Mathematics results in the same group!
Originally, she had wanted to bring Mo Zhu to Beijing and hire a few teachers to tutor the little girl before the official finals. Who knew that they would have arranged for the groups to carry out intensive training together? Chen Man understood that although Mo Zhu’s results were not that outstanding, this girl had a strong personality. She must have worked very hard in order not to implicate her classmates, so she specially told her that the ranking and results were not that important. Her health was the most important!
Mo Zhu smiled and nodded. “Thank you, Auntie. I understand.”
Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s agreement, Chen Man looked at the girl in relief. From the corner of her eye, she saw that the food on the bedside table was already a little cold. She frowned and looked at the young lady in the corner and instructed, “Girl, I think this dish is almost cold. Go and make another one for Xiao Zhu. Don’t prepare anything too nourishing as she has just woken up. Prepare something light.”
The nanny, who was hiding in the corner of the room and trying her best to reduce her presence, suddenly heard that Chen Man had arrangements. She trembled nervously and rubbed her palms before replying softly, “Alright, Madam. I’ll go prepare it now.”
After saying this, she tiptoed closer to the bed, walked around everyone and carefully picked up the tray on the bedside table. She opened the door and walked straight to the kitchen in the small mansion.
The food on the tray was specially prepared for Mo Zhu in advance. In the past, every time she was unwilling to get out of bed, her mother would always prepare delicious food and place it at the head of her bed to wake her up. Therefore, when she first arrived in the afternoon, she had placed the food at the head of Mo Zhu’s bed accordingly so that the girl would wake up quickly when she smelled the fragrance.
