Rebirth of an abandoned woman

Chapter 29: Super Nanny

Therefore, when Gu Fangzi spoke of Nanny Li, all Sang Wan did was keep a faint smile and listen. Once in a while, she would also nod, but she knew deep down that she should do the opposite of what was said.

As such, the Gu Fangzi, who had originally wanted to wait out and see Sang Wan rushing over to Wang Shi requesting to have Nanny Li leave, could not sit still any longer.

Gu Fangzi's heart was extremely unhappy and she headed over to Shi Fengju to add fuel to the situation.

"Nanny Li is now old and should be enjoying herself at home. I do not know why Cousin-in-law Sang Wan would want to bring her back to Ning Garden! Big cousin, why don't you try to persuade Cousin-in-law Sang Wan! Nanny Li isn't one who can stand being idle; if she were to live in Ning Garden, she'll definitely begin worrying about many things! For an elderly to worry too much, what's more after recovering from a serious illness, it might not be good for her body!"

Shi Fengju became deep in thoughts and unwittingly nodded.

His nanny was great in every aspect and had treated him like her very own son. However, because she cared too much for him, she still sees him as a naive child and would often enter his room at night to check whether he had his quilt kicked away! Not to mention his meals, the type of clothes he wears, when he sleeps, and when he got out of bed; all these were kept known to her. All so often, she would brew some strange soup for him to drink, stating that it was a tonic for his body. She frequently made him miserable yet unable to refuse. If he were to, she would cry to a point where she needed coaxing, and if his mother were to catch wind of this, she would definitely scold him for being insensible!

However, that was not the most difficult about her. The most difficult about her would be her relationship with Gu Fangzi. The two frequently had conflicts with each other, but no matter how tolerant his cousin was, the sight of her would make his nanny displeased and she would always scold her with words like 'sham', 'dramatic', 'insincere', and much more. Her saying was just a thing, but having the need to make him agree with her words, that itself had always caused him to be in a dilemma.

Letting her go back take care of herself and enjoy her remaining years... that in fact, did not sound so bad after all.

"You're right. Nanny should be blissfully at home, but," Shi Fengju glanced at Gu Fangzi and laughed. Half jokingly and half serious, he spoke, "you and nanny are never on good terms with each other, so why the thought for her? That doesn't seem like you!"

Gu Fangzi had always been one who favors efficiency and puts a clear line between kindness and resentment, so why would she spare a thought for his nanny?

Although Gu Fagnzi might not be daring enough to go against Nanny Li, every now and then, she would always release her anger around Shi Fengju. Only after Shi Fengju spoke gently to please her could he then move on to coax her. Afterward, when Nanny Li came to find out from others about how Shi Fengju attempted to please his cousin and coax her, she would nearly faint with rage but feel extremely helpless at the same time!

Played in the hands of that woman, sadness coursed through her for Shi Fengju did not live up to her expectations and had to submit beneath someone.

Once Gu Fangzi heard Shi Fengju asking her such a question, she immediately flared up and glared angrily at him. "Not like me? Then tell me what kind of behavior would seem more like me? In any case, she's your nanny. For someone so important to you, do you think I can't read the situation? In your eyes, am I, am I——"

Gu Fangzi's eyes reddened. As if she was wronged, tears almost fell from her eyes.

"I didn't mean it that way!" Shi Fengju quickly went to comfort her. "Can't you hear that I was only joking about casually only? Just like what you said, she's my nanny and I know deep down, you still give her the respect she deserves. I mean, you've never gone against her words!"
