She is so pitiful? I choose to pity myself first

Almost all parents in the entire imperial court who needed daycare for their children had heard of her mother's institution, and many even begged her mother to open a branch.

Her mother was afraid that her shop would become too big and something unpredictable would happen like last time.

Therefore, even if Aunt Jiang later hired an extra store manager to look after the store and come to help Shen Zhinian, Shen Zhinian only dared to open one more branch.

Because the only person Shen Zhinian can trust is Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang managed the after-school care center near their home, which had already fully developed on a large scale, while Shen Zhinian went to another branch where she had no experience.

The branch is located near another school, which happens to be next to another house that Shen Zhinian bought for Lin Tingyu. The house there has just been renovated and has been there for a year or two, so Shen Zhinian can rest here when he has nothing to do.

Having already opened a store and doing very well, Shen Zhinian also had experience this time. After the branch was opened, the business was booming. There was a kindergarten opposite, and many parents came to inquire whether they could provide after-school care. Shen Zhinian felt sorry for it, so he opened up a new track and even accepted children from the kindergarten.

And that uncle Chen’s grandson happens to attend this kindergarten.

Uncle Chen is a few years older than Shen Zhinian. According to him, he has a son, a daughter and a grandson.

After Uncle Chen retired, he came to pick up his precious grandson every day. Logically speaking, their family did not need to send their child to a daycare center, so naturally they would have no interaction with Shen Zhinian.

But Shen Zhinian personally went to the kindergarten gate every day and counted the children one by one carefully, for fear that the problem of children running away would occur again. Every day, he waited at the gate like Uncle Chen.

"Your Uncle Chen said that every day when he picks up his grandson, he always sees me and starts observing me unconsciously."

Shen Zhinian said this, blushing a little.

Lin Tingyu was not surprised by this matter.

Under the care of her father, her mother has never lacked food and clothing. The heavier housework at home, such as mopping the floor and cleaning the toilet, is done by her father. Her mother only needs to cook and sweep the floor. Even washing dishes is done by her father. Only occasionally when her father is busy, she or her mother will do the dishes.

Later, her father bought a dishwasher when it was still very expensive, freeing her mother's hands.

Her family would go out to eat from time to time. When her father was still alive, her parents would eat lunch at the company and go downstairs to buy breakfast. Their family would usually only cook dinner, and the frequency of this dinner was only a few times a week.

In addition, her mother works indoors, so although she hasn't taken good care of her skin, it has always been in good condition. Her mother doesn't have too many worries, and the wrinkles on her face are hardly noticeable when she's not smiling.

Her mother retired at the age of fifty, and is only fifty-five now, but looks as young as her older sister in her forties.

Moreover, her mother was naturally beautiful. Otherwise, her father would not have been framed by her mother's suitors and would have been forced to be a policeman all his life.

Her mother is still as charming as ever and doesn't look like she is over 50 years old.

Among so many grandmothers picking up their children, her mother is probably the best looking one.

It's normal for Uncle Chen to notice.

"However, your Uncle Chen just looked at me at first and didn't come over to say hello to me. He said that he thought I must have a husband at that time."

Shen Zhinian blushed a little when she told her daughter about her love experience:

"Later, I noticed your Uncle Chen because a car ran a red light like crazy and almost hit a child. Your Uncle Chen rushed over, saved the child, and called the police to catch the car that ran the red light..."

"He was injured and the child was crying. It wasn't a serious injury and he insisted that there was no need to call an ambulance. So I asked them to go to the after-school care center to rest first. I disinfected and bandaged his wound."

Lin understood what he heard.

The reason why her mother fell in love with her father was because of this kind of hero worship.

Moreover, her father was not just saving a child, he was rescuing hostages and chasing robbers. Her mother even saw her father jump into the river to save people...

Now, this Uncle Chen did something similar, no wonder her mother would be tempted.

Judging from the photo, although Uncle Chen is in his sixties, he looks very elegant and has a good temperament. It can be seen that he has always lived a life of luxury and has no lack of material things.

Her mother really loves this type of man...

Her father had passed away for more than six years, and Lin Tingyu didn't feel too sad about her mother looking for him again. She accepted it calmly.

"He's been nice to you?"

After all, with her father in front, Lin Tingyu didn’t believe that her mother would fall in love with Uncle Chen if he wasn’t nice to her mother.

I can introduce her to her, and even want to marry her...

Shen Zhinian nodded. "Later, when we were waiting for the children to finish school, he would come over to chat with me. After knowing that your father had passed away, he began to send me flowers and snacks..."

“It helped me a lot later.”

"The owner of the office we rented there probably saw that our business was good, so he broke the contract and said he wanted to rent the office to someone else. I heard that his daughter is also a teacher and wanted to start her own business."

Shen Zhinian has already established a branch store, and those parents are used to this address. If we change it temporarily...

Those parents will most likely switch to the new daycare center run by the landlord's daughter.

"When your Uncle Chen saw how sad I was, he secretly bought the entire building and became my landlord. Not only did he solve my problem, he even insisted on lowering my rent."

In fact, if she had not firmly disagreed, Chen Xiangdong even wanted to give her the office.

After all, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for him.

Although Shen Zhinian didn't say the rest, Lin Tingyu was still thinking:

"Uncle Chen is very rich?"

"Yes, he used to run a big company and was the boss of it. He handed the company over to his son two years ago. He retired and stayed at home drinking tea and taking care of his grandchildren."

Shen Zhinian was not quite sure which company Chen Xiangdong ran, but she didn't care.

What she cares about is Chen Xiangdong.

Moreover, she now runs two daycare centers, and she has made some investments with the money she earned in the past few years, following Lin Tingyu's advice.

She now earns several million a year.

In the mind of Shen Zhinian, who once had an annual salary of over 100,000 yuan, this was an astronomical figure.

She was already extremely satisfied and felt that several million was a lot, so she never thought about spending Chen Xiangdong's money.

Lin Tingyu naturally understood Shen Zhinian's mentality very well.

However, this Uncle Chen is so rich...

Lin Tingyu became a little worried.

Her mother's income of several million that year might have been just pocket money in the eyes of Uncle Chen's family?

Would his children misunderstand and think that their mother approached their father for money?
