Jiang Mian didn't take it, thinking of the mocking look in Lu Bozhou's eyes when he saw her holding the little stone's New Year's money.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but frown. "I don't want to. I told you I didn't come to see him for the money."

Lu Bozhou's brows were still furrowed, and he lowered his eyelids to hide the turmoil in his eyes.

Is the medication not working yet? Due to its effects, he rarely shows any obvious emotions.

But when I saw this woman's eyes, it was as if a long-dormant nerve was suddenly stirred.

The car quickly arrived at the entrance of Yalai Garden. As soon as the car stopped, Jiang Mian felt as if she had been granted a pardon and quickly got out of the car.

Lu Bozhou glanced sideways at the dim light outside the car at Yalai Garden, where the lighting was insufficient.

He handed the envelope to Song Xun, saying, "Take her upstairs."

Song Xun quickly understood what the BOSS meant, opened the door and got out of the car.

"Miss Jiang!"

Hearing Song Xun's voice, Jiang Mian was about to walk towards the building entrance when she turned to look at him. "Is there anything else?"

"Mr. Lu asked me to take you upstairs." Song Xun gestured for him to go.

Jiang Mian was startled, her gaze falling on the silhouette of the man's sharply defined profile in the back seat of the luxury car...

"Then...thank you."

Inside the elevator, Song Xun handed the envelope containing the money back to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian waved her hand, "Really, it's not necessary."

Song Xun smiled and said, "Miss Jiang, this is your money."

"What?" Jiang Mian asked, puzzled.

"Here's what happened..." Song Xun briefly recounted the events.

Jiang Mian then realized that it was Lu Bozhou who had someone take care of the drunken thug who broke into her house!

Not only can we punish that scoundrel, but we can also get the compensation she owes.

Song Xun said, "People who dare to break into private homes under the influence of alcohol can't withstand a thorough investigation. There are plenty of ways to punish them."

Song Xun then handed the envelope to Jiang Mian, saying, "So this is indeed your money, compensation."

"Thank you." Jiang Mian didn't refuse again and accepted it, feeling slightly touched.

Song Xun wouldn't do something like this without a reason, and Jiang Mian could easily guess whose intention it was.

Song Xun: "You're welcome. It's Mr. Lu who's thanking you for helping the young master before."

Song Xun added, "Of course, the number I gave you before, which I mentioned you could contact me if you need help, still applies."

Jiang Mian smiled, then suddenly realized something.

She bit her lip and said to Song Xun, "Um... I heard from Xiao Shitou that his father wants to hire a nanny to take care of him every day?"

Although the child's tone suggested he was being watched over...

Song Xun wasn't surprised that the young master would tell Jiang Mian about this; it was clear that the young master liked her very much.

"Yes." Song Xun nodded.

Jiang Mian's eyes lit up. "Can I?"

Song Xun was taken aback, probably not expecting Jiang Mian to recommend herself.

Jiang Mian asked, "Can I be Xiao Shitou's babysitter?"

After a moment's thought, Jiang Mian added, "I can cook, bake, play the piano, and tell stories. I'm fluent in both Chinese and English."

Song Xun looked helpless. "This... I can't give you an answer right away. The matter of the young master's nanny is not something I can decide."

After Song Xun finished speaking, he saw her expectant gaze gradually dim.

I couldn't help but think back to the past, and how many times I'd seen the light in Jiang Mian's eyes shift from anticipation to dimming...

Song Xun sighed inwardly, then said, "I'll bring this up with the BOSS. Wait for my news."

Jiang Mian's eyes lit up. "Really? Thank you so much!"

Song Xun escorted her to the door. It was already past midnight, and there were still people playing mahjong at the end of the corridor.

Song Xun sighed, "Let's find a safer place to stay."

Jiang Mian smiled. Of course, she would like to live in a safer place, but her financial situation didn't allow it.

With the compensation money that Song Xun brought, we can consider this matter.

Jiang Mian went back into the house and locked the door again, then propped the stool against the door.

Then it suddenly dawned on me, "My electric scooter!"

It's still parked outside the hospital! I guess I haven't gotten used to this mode of transportation yet, so I forgot. I just got back in Lu Bozhou's car.

But then I thought about it...

"Let's go get it when it's light. Maybe we can see Little Stone again..." Thinking this, Jiang Mian became happy again.

I quickly packed my clothes, went to the bathroom to shower, and prepared to sleep a little longer.

Song Xun returned to the car, and the car drove away from the entrance of Ya Lai Garden.

"Boss, shall we go back to the company?" Song Xun asked.

Lu Bozhou stared at the documents on the tablet screen without even lifting his eyes.

"Hospital."

A black Maybach sped along the quiet streets late at night.

Song Xun wanted to speak several times, but seeing that the BOSS was looking at the documents, he didn't want to disturb him.

The car continued until it arrived at the hospital and reached Lu Chaochi's ward.

Song Xun then mentioned the matter to the BOSS.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bozhou raised his sharp eyebrows slightly. "The nanny? Her?"

Song Xun nodded, "Yes, Miss Jiang learned about this from the young master and just now she recommended herself to me."

Lu Bozhou neither confirmed nor denied this, and did not give any answer.

Song Xun didn't press the matter. He knew very well that silence from the boss's perspective wasn't acquiescence; it often meant rejection.

"Go back and get some rest," Lu Bozhou said calmly to Song Xun, then sat down on the cot in the ward.

They clearly planned to make do here for a while, since they didn't have much time to sleep anyway, and it was almost dawn.

Song Xun left the ward.

No one noticed that the small figure on the hospital bed, who should have been fast asleep for a long time, opened his eyes after the room quieted down.

His eyes were shining with joy!

Jiang Mian got up after only two hours of sleep to prepare for work.

Jiang Mian originally had two jobs. One was working at a breakfast rice noodle roll shop, which closed at noon.

The other job involves delivering food in the afternoon and evening.

Actually, the wages paid by the breakfast shop are not high, but the hours are convenient, and you can leave work at noon.

This way, she can do other work in the afternoon and evening. And most importantly, the breakfast shop provides her with both breakfast and lunch.

That way, we can save money on these two meals!

This girl is really trying her best to live, now that she's taken over her life. Jiang Mian doesn't want to waste this new beginning.

She was delayed for two days, but fortunately, the breakfast shop owners had gone back to their hometown for the Mid-Autumn Festival the previous two days and gave her a day off, so it wasn't considered a missed day.

Jiang Mian had just finished getting ready and gone downstairs when a car pulled up in front of her.

A man in a suit got out of the car and walked up to Jiang Mian.

"Hello, Ms. Jiang," the other person said, handing her a business card. "My surname is Zhu. Don't worry, I mean no harm. This is my business card."

Jiang Mian didn't take the business card; she just looked at the man in front of her. She recognized him even without the business card.

Secretary Zhu.

This is... a member of the Lu family.
