Do you remember when I said that Ji Huainan's madness primarily stems from her mother?

At this moment, Ji's mother, Ms. Nan Xiangli, was scrutinizing me from head to toe.

Husband went out to the park to play chess and brought back a young girl.

It's not surprising that she's cautious. This sounds like the beginning of a certain kind of novel!

Or maybe one of those clickbait titles!

I felt uneasy under Nan Xiangli's sharp gaze.

On the other hand, Ji Ting remained calm and spoke openly about what happened today.

Nan Xiangli's critical look didn't diminish but intensified.

Uh-oh, my heart skipped a beat.

Based on my experience from my previous life's encounters with Nan Xiangli, with her expression like this, the next sentence is definitely going to be a challenge.

As expected, she opened her scarlet lips, half-smiling, and said:

"Indeed, she's a pretty pitiful girl. But, husband, since you brought her home directly, shouldn't you have asked for my opinion?"

With just this simple questioning, Ji Ting instantly wilted.

He didn't dare to be angry or speak up.

I stared at them in astonishment.

Really? So, Dad, you're actually henpecked?

I gritted my teeth.

Like father, like son. Ji Huainan is afraid of his dad, and his dad is afraid of his mom.

So, if I can convince Nan Xiangli to let me stay, wouldn't the problem be solved easily?

I suddenly lifted my head, my gaze intense.

Nan Xiangli was taken aback by my stare and asked unnaturally, "What are you doing?"

I swiftly opened my backpack, took out a resume, and presented it to her with a military salute.

It was a set of fluid movements.

Nan Xiangli looked dumbfounded and reflexively took the resume.

Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you? Chen Wenwen left school today to go for an interview, and I have a whole stack of resumes in my bag!

But that's not all!

Following the principle of being overly prepared, I pulled out a laptop from my bag and opened the self-introduction PPT that Chen Wenwen had carefully prepared.

Ah, truly deserving of being a top university student who strives for self-improvement.

Look at how well this PPT is made, with vivid images and text!

I acted seriously as if I were really applying for a job.

"You've seen my resume, interviewer."

"I am extremely confident in my ability to be your family's nanny!"

Nan Xiangli's mouth hung open.

See that? When facing a crazy critic, you must take the initiative and make her feel embarrassed before she goes crazy on you!

Ji Ting secretly gave me a thumbs-up.

Heh heh, good job, Dad!

I smiled foolishly.

However, my smile froze when I heard Nan Xiangli's next words.

"But our family doesn't need a nanny at all, right?"

Her gaze was sharp as she stared at Ji Ting.

We both felt like mischievous students caught in the act.

Ji Ting wished he could find a hole to hide in and prove his innocence.

He suddenly jumped up and hugged Nan Xiangli, trying to coax her.

Realizing that I was still present, his face turned red.

I understood and quickly ran out of the villa, leaving them enough space.

After all the commotion, it was already dark outside.

A flashy purple sports car approached in the distance, and as I stared at it, I suddenly recognized whose car it was!

Oh my god! Ji Huainan actually came back!

I felt anxious.

If I don't receive the protection of Ji's parents, Ji Huainan will definitely vent her anger on me for not waitingfor her.

I quickly hid behind a tree, hoping that she wouldn't notice me.

The car stopped in front of the villa, and Ji Huainan got out, looking flustered and angry.

She stormed into the house, and I could hear her shouting at her parents.

My heart raced as I considered whether to make a run for it and escape before she found me.

But just as I was about to make my move, the front door of the villa burst open, and Ji Huainan stormed out.

She looked furious, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

I held my breath, trying to blend into the darkness as much as possible.

Ji Huainan's gaze swept past me, and for a moment, I thought she had seen me.

But then she turned away and stormed off in the opposite direction.

I let out a sigh of relief, grateful that I had managed to escape her wrath for now.

However, I knew that this was only a temporary reprieve.

Ji Huainan was not one to let things go easily, and I had a feeling that she would come looking for me again.

I needed to come up with a plan, a way to deal with her once and for all.

But for now, I decided it was best to lay low and stay out of sight.

I waited until Ji Huainan was out of sight before cautiously making my way back to the villa.

Inside, Ji Ting and Nan Xiangli were still engaged in a heated argument.

They seemed to have forgotten about me completely.

I quietly slipped past them and retreated to my room, closing the door behind me.

I sat on the bed, deep in thought.

How could I protect myself from Ji Huainan's wrath?

I needed to come up with a plan, and fast.

Little did I know that the events of the next few days would change everything.

But that's a story for another time.
