Nanny Wu and Zhou Chenyu were both waiting for Liu Renzhi to step into the trap they had meticulously woven.
Especially Nanny Wu.
From the very first day Huang Chunlian brought her to Liu Renzhi's side, she had been scheming.
She had countless plans in mind.
She originally thought it would be hard to achieve, but to her surprise, Huang Chunlian turned out to be unreliable herself, giving Nanny Wu an opportunity.
An opportunity to truly become Liu Renzhi's mother and control him.
Over these thirty-five years, no one had spent more time by Liu Renzhi's side than she had.
Even Su Jing wouldn't dare act too presumptuous in front of her.
She had thought Liu Renzhi was already firmly in her grasp.
But then Lin Wanyi appeared out of nowhere.
She disrupted Nanny Wu's plans and ruined the path she had paved for Zhou Chenyu.
Now Liu Renzhi was no longer easy to control, and she had to take action.
At this moment, she heard the sound of Liu Renzhi's car.
Zhou Chenyu upstairs heard it too.
She had slipped on a short skirt over her sexy lingerie.
The lingerie showed through, incredibly alluring.
She twisted and turned in front of the mirror, admiring herself for a long time, then finally went downstairs, satisfied.
Liu Renzhi had already sat down in front of Nanny Wu.
He leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs.
"Nanny Wu, what do you have to give me?"
Nanny Wu handed him a cup of tea with a fake smile.
"No rush. Drink some tea first. Ren Zhi, has our relationship become so distant now?
"You came here so reluctantly."
Liu Renzhi took the cup, sniffed it, and said.
"Nanny Wu, I made it very clear to you last time. You should understand.
"I don't want to repeat myself."
He set the cup down without taking a sip. Nanny Wu didn't press him to drink either. Instead, she had Zhou Chenyu bring the deed to the villa and hand it to Liu Renzhi.
"I called you here today to give you this.
"Ren Zhi, this villa was bought by you. I'm just a servant and nanny, and it's not really appropriate for me to keep living here.
"Before, I thought our bond was something special. I thought we weren't just an ordinary nanny and employer.
"I thought we were mother and son. True mother and son.
"I gave you my all, even more than I gave Xiao Yu.
"I thought you felt the same way. But I was wrong.
"You're different from what I imagined. I treated you like a son, but you only see me as an employee.
"Since that's the case, I have some self-awareness. I'm returning this villa to you.
"As for Xiao Yu and me..."
She paused before continuing.
"We're planning to move back to our hometown. Ren Zhi, maybe we won't see each other again in this lifetime.
"When the day I die comes, I hope you'll come see me and light a stick of incense for me. That would be enough.
"Ren Zhi, you have to believe me. From day one, I've treated you like my own son.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked my life to save you from the river."
Liu Renzhi pressed his lips together and said nothing.
He stared quietly at the deed Zhou Chenyu handed him.
And at Zhou Chenyu's paper-thin clothes.
The villa fell into a heavy silence. After several minutes, Liu Renzhi finally spoke.
"Nanny Wu, the deed is in your name. So if you want to move back to your hometown, you can sell it yourself.
"Since I gave it to you, there's no reason to take it back.
"Don't worry. I'll always remember how good you've been to me over the decades. When the day you pass comes, as long as Xiao Yu notifies me, I'll be there."
With that, he stood up.
"Nanny Wu, take care."
He turned and left. Zhou Chenyu was anxious, making faces at Nanny Wu.
But Nanny Wu was completely calm.
Because she knew Liu Renzhi wouldn't make it out.
At least today, he wouldn't leave.
Sure enough.
Before Liu Renzhi even reached the garden, his head started spinning.
The roses before him multiplied from one to dozens, even hundreds.
He didn't know which way to go. Flowers were everywhere, and there was no path.
He struggled to stay steady, shaking his head forcefully.
But the flowers disappeared, and instead, he saw Lin Wanyi walking toward him with a smile on her face.
Impossible.
How could Lin Wanyi be here?
Especially dressed so skimpily.
He could see through her dress and the outline of her entire body.
No.
Whenever he saw Lin Wanyi's body, he couldn't control himself.
He had a physical attraction to Lin Wanyi. Her body was lethal to him.
Especially dressed like this, he found her utterly irresistible.
He couldn't help reaching out to take her hand.
"Wanyi, what are you doing here?"
The woman standing opposite him, Zhou Chenyu, darkened her face.
She turned to Nanny Wu to complain.
"Mom, he called me Lin Wanyi. He mistook me for Lin Wanyi.
"How dare he?"
Nanny Wu covered her mouth and whispered.
"Who cares? Whether he's thinking of you or Lin Wanyi right now, the one beside him is you."
"Lucky I made double preparations. I spiked not only the tea but also the incense.
"So even though he didn't drink the tea, he still couldn't escape.
"Xiao Yu, take him to the room quickly. Opportunities like this are rare. You have to act fast. Once this chance is missed, he'll never trust me again.
"Remember, make sure to record everything and send it to Lin Wanyi and Su Jing. That's the key."
"Got it."
Zhou Chenyu's heart pounded.
She strained to support the tall Liu Renzhi as she led him into the room.
As the door closed behind her, she fantasized about becoming Mrs. Liu and living the wealthy life everyone envied.
Outside the door, Nanny Wu lay back down in her recliner.
Liu Renzhi, hah. In the end, he couldn't escape her grasp.
She had served him her whole life; there was no way she would settle for being just a servant.
Why should she?
If he didn't want to be her son, then he'd be her son-in-law.
One way or another, Liu Renzhi wouldn't get away.
Half an hour later, she pressed her ear against Zhou Chenyu's door and heard passionate cries from inside.
Louder and louder.
She was satisfied.
It had worked.
Everything was going according to her script.
She tiptoed downstairs and called Lin Wanyi.
"Lin Wanyi, come to this address. I'll show you a good show."
At the hospital, Lin Wanyi had no idea why Nanny Wu was calling her.
She refused.
"Nanny Wu, if you have something to discuss with Ren Zhi, handle it yourself. I'm not familiar with you."
"Hahaha."
Nanny Wu laughed triumphantly on the phone.
"Ren Zhi is right here at my house. In Xiao Yu's room.
"Don't you think it's awkward for me to disturb them, alone together like that?
"Come on over. See for yourself what you really mean to Ren Zhi."
Lin Wanyi's fingers turned white as she gripped the phone.
She wasn't stupid. She knew exactly what Nanny Wu meant.
Liu Renzhi was with Zhou Chenyu right now.
In Zhou Chenyu's room.
What were they doing?
With Nanny Wu calling so confidently, a pain like needles stabbed at Lin Wanyi's heart.
No.
Liu Renzhi couldn't betray her.
And he wouldn't.
If he liked Zhou Chenyu, they would have gotten together long ago. Why wait until now?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
She grabbed her bag and rushed out of the hospital, hailing a taxi.
Nanny Wu's voice echoed in her ears.
"Before this, Ren Zhi was just infatuated with you for a short time. He only wanted to try something different..."
"Which man doesn't like the pure and innocent? Which man doesn't want someone clean?
Lin Wanyi, there's no man who doesn't care about the first time—Ren Zhi included.
Come, let me play for you the sound of Ren Zhi and Chenyu together."
