Chapter 57: I watched a good show, so it wasn't too bad.
He Qiaoyun asked, "Xiao Ding, what is this...?"
Immediately, everyone's attention returned to Ding Ruolian.
Before Ding Ruolian could respond, a woman who looked to be in her sixties walked over and asked Ding Ruolian, "Madam, lunch is ready. Shall we eat now or wait a while?"
He Qiaoyun raised an eyebrow, "Madam?"
Ding Ruolian was so embarrassed that her smile became unnatural. For a moment, she was at a loss, as if she had been cursed and frozen in place.
"Mom, who is this? What's he doing in our house?" Ding Ruolian's son, Chen Kai, asked unhappily.
He Qiaoyun raised her eyebrows even higher, "Mom? Your family?"
When Chen Kai's girlfriend and classmates heard He Qiaoyun's question, their expressions were full of confusion.
Ding Ruolian quickly stepped forward and grabbed He Qiaoyun.
Seeing this, Chen Kai's girlfriend asked him, "Who is she? Aunt Ding seems a little afraid of her..."
Before she could finish speaking, He Qiaoyun pulled Ding Ruolian's hand away and asked with a smile, "Xiao Ding, why are you dressed like this instead of working? Did you invite them to film a movie? They look like those short dramas about wealthy families on the internet. Does Mr. Feng know about this? By the way, where's Tian Tian?"
A barrage of questions caused Ding Ruolian's face to flush red and then pale, her already unnatural smile freezing into a frost.
Seeing his girlfriend's sudden change in expression, and noticing the gossip and teasing on his classmate's face, Chen Kai hurriedly pointed at He Qiaoyun and yelled, "What nonsense are you spouting? Aunt Wang, kick this uninvited guest out!"
The nanny, who was called Wang Ma, looked at He Qiaoyun with some hesitation and looked to Ding Ruolian for help.
Ding Ruolian summoned her, only asking her to cook and say a few lines; she didn't say she was going to kick her out...
Ding Ruolian, having already gone this far, decided to focus on her son first. After all, she couldn't let her newly acquired daughter go to waste. She ordered, "Wang Ma, quickly kick this woman out."
He Qiaoyun, however, shrugged and said with an indifferent expression, "I have no interest in playing along with your act."
Chen Kai's girlfriend asked her, "Auntie, what exactly is going on?"
He Qiaoyun looked at the fair-skinned and beautiful young girl in front of her and said casually, "Isn't it obvious? Xiao Ding is the nanny here, and I am a friend of the landlord, staying here temporarily."
The young girl looked at Chen Kai, then at Ding Ruolian, gave an incredulous scoff, and coldly questioned, "Is what she said true?"
Ding Ruolian forced an awkward smile and explained, "Xiaoxiao, Akai didn't mean to lie to you. He did it because he likes you..."
With a "slap," Xiao Xiao's hand landed on Chen Kai's face. "Shameless liar!"
Chen Kai took the slap, glared at Ding Ruolian with hatred, and then caught up with Xiao Xiao.
The other students exchanged glances and then began to mock each other.
"Aunt Ding, you should have said you were the nanny here earlier. Now look how messy this is."
"Yeah, I knew it. When Chen Kai first started school, he was wearing clothes with obviously fake logos. Real rich kids wouldn't wear fake logos, even if they didn't wear them."
"You're making it sound like we're the uninvited guests who broke into someone's home."
"If word gets out, we'll lose all face. We've wasted half a day playing with a fake rich kid."
"Yes."
Ding Ruolian's face was very ugly, and she hated He Qiaoyun to death in her heart.
Before leaving, the group said to Ding Ruolian rather rudely, "Thank you for the hospitality. We've seen a good show, so it wasn't too bad."
Ding Ruolian watched them leave awkwardly, a fierce anger burning in her eyes.
He Qiaoyun looked around but couldn't find Tian Tian, so she asked, "Where's Tian Tian?"
Ding Ruolian retorted angrily, "Sister Qiaoyun, who are you to Mr. Feng? And who are you to Tiantian? Why do you keep asking me where she is!"
He Qiaoyun wasn't angry. She just raised an eyebrow at her and asked, "Are you angry because I exposed your and your son's lies?"
Then she added, "But what's there to be angry about, and what gives you the right to be angry?"
“It’s your work time now. Mr. Feng is your employer, and this is Mr. Feng’s house. Instead of doing your job properly, you’re acting recklessly in your employer’s house. I asked you where the employer’s daughter is and why she hasn’t come down for lunch yet, but you haven’t answered me. Is this what a normal nanny should do? Or is this how you’ve always been, taking advantage of the fact that there’s only a young girl in the family who doesn’t understand much yet!”
Ding Ruolian's face flushed, her eyes darting away, and her confidence waned. "Sister Qiaoyun, I... I had no choice. Please don't tell Mr. Feng, okay..."
He Qiaoyun did not respond to her, but turned around and went upstairs.
Ding Ruolian suddenly remembered that in order to ensure the family banquet went smoothly, she had locked Tian Tian in the room early this morning.
At that moment, she ran to the elevator in fright, frantically pressing the buttons with her fingers, the sound of He Qiaoyun's footsteps going upstairs ringing in her ears, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her body.
Unlike apartment buildings, the villa's ceiling height was less than three meters, and the stairs had many steps. When He Qiaoyun reached the second floor, the door to Tian Tian's room was already open.
She gently knocked on the door. "Tian Tian? Are you in there?"
Hearing the sound, Tian Tian, who was hiding in a corner of the room, immediately stood up and walked out step by step.
He Qiaoyun saw her and smiled, "Why are you hiding in your room and not coming out?"
Tian Tian stared at her blankly, remaining silent for a long time.
He Qiaoyun reached out to pat her head, but she instinctively dodged away.
"Okay, I won't touch you anymore. Let's go downstairs for lunch, okay?"
Tian Tian nodded gently and followed her downstairs.
The so-called Aunt Wang downstairs and the other servants had all left, leaving only a large table of sumptuous dishes.
He Qiaoyun didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up a small bowl and served rice to Tian Tian, then served herself a bowl as well.
Tian Tian, holding her bowl, looked around. He Qiaoyun asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Ruolian walked over wearing a floral mini-skirt, as if nothing had happened.
"Qiaoyun, Tiantian, take your time eating. Call me if you need anything."
He Qiaoyun frowned, picked up her phone, and sent a message to Feng Jiashu: [Mr. Feng, I was on my way back to the city today when I accidentally ran into Xiao Ding bringing his son's classmates and friends to your house. It seemed like they were using your house to show off their wealth. Also, it was dinnertime, but they didn't call Tian Tian downstairs. If I hadn't come back, Tian Tian probably would have stayed in her room all day, too afraid to come out.]
After sending the message, Feng Jiashu immediately replied: "I understand, thank you."
After a while, Ding Ruolian came over and said angrily to He Qiaoyun, "Sister Qiaoyun, we have no grudges against each other, why are you slandering me like this to Mr. Feng?"
He Qiaoyun was stunned for a moment when she was accused like this. "Slander?"
Ding Ruolian put on a righteous act, pretending to be a victim, "That's slander! I was clearly cleaning the house just now!"
He Qiaoyun was starting to doubt herself after hearing what she said. "Cleaning the house?"
Ding Ruolian said on the phone, "Yes, Mr. Feng, I was just cleaning the house and making lunch for Tian Tian. How could Sister Qiaoyun frame me like this! I'm so wronged!"
