Chapter 816 Lucy Discovers Her Father's Clues, Zhou Chen Takes Charge Back to His Hometown
Because of a small incident at home, He Minhong was frightened, which greatly angered Qi Mu. In order to protect He Minhong, he directly fired the nanny.
It all seemed as if Qi Mu was standing up for He Minhong, and that he was doing this for He Minhong's sake. In reality, it was all Qi Mu's conspiracy.
He Minhong was unaware that all of this was a scheme set up by Qi Mu and the nanny, all to make He Minhong accept the responsibility of staying at home to take care of Qi Mu's mother.
Of course, Qi Mu was a smart man, and he couldn't make everything so obvious. So, in the next few days, Qi Mu contacted two more nannies, but they were all driven away by Qi Mu's mother before they even lasted a day.
Of course, Qi Mu had deliberately hired these two nannies to put on an act in front of He Minhong. Qi Mu then played the victim in front of He Minhong, saying that he had a headache every day and could not sleep because of the nanny job for his mother. He was busy with work every day and was also tormented by his mentally ill mother when he got home.
In short, Qi Mu deliberately exposed his miserable side to He Minhong in order to gain her sympathy and get her to get involved in the matter.
Qi Mu wanted to make it seem as if He Minhong had taken the initiative to take care of her mother, rather than Qi Mu forcing her. In Qi Mu's view, he could completely control He Minhong because he knew her too well.
Haha, Qi Mu guessed right. He Minhong, with his overflowing saintly heart, was easily fooled.
To help Qi Mu reduce his work pressure, He Minhong offered to take care of Qi Mu's mother until a new nanny was found, which was exactly what Qi Mu wanted.
Qi Mu was naturally satisfied with this result, so he put on a heartfelt expression and held He Minhong's hand to apologize, saying, "Honghong, I'm really sorry for making you suffer. I will find a nanny that my mother is satisfied with as soon as possible, so you won't have to work so hard."
As for acting, Qi Mu is a professional. On the surface, he seems to care about He Minhong, but in his heart, he is still scheming against her.
Hehe, because things developed exactly as Zhou Chen had guessed. Qi Mu's main purpose in looking for He Minhong was to find a virtuous and loving housewife to take care of his mother, and He Minhong was obviously an easy person to manipulate.
Even though He Minhong didn't want to believe that Qi Mu would scheme against her, things turned out exactly that way, and He Minhong didn't even realize that something was wrong. It was she who jumped into the pit on her own initiative, not Qi Mu's responsibility.
Just like the naive He Minhong is now waiting for Qi Mu to find a new nanny, but she doesn't know that Qi Mu has no intention of finding a nanny at all. In his view, this is the time for He Minhong to adapt.
He Minhong wasn't stupid. She took care of Qi Mu's mother for a month, and she was tormented by Qi Mu's mother every day. She also suffered a lot of grievances.
A month later, He Minhong finally realized something was wrong. Surely it wouldn't take Qi Mu a month to hire a nanny? Whenever He Minhong asked, Qi Mu would always make excuses about being too busy with work.
This led He Minhong to begin to doubt Qi Mu's motives, which resulted in the first argument between the two, and He Minhong subsequently caused trouble.
Of course, these are all things to come later. Let's turn our attention to Zhou Chen's side. While He Minhong was suffering at Qi Mu's house, Zhou Chen also encountered problems.
As soon as Lucy got home, she told Zhou Chen something very important: she wanted to go home and visit her family.
"Zhou Chen, I think it's necessary to go home. I suspect there must be a problem with my dad."
We've had Mianmian with us for over a month now. When she first arrived, my dad called almost every two days to check on her.
After that, he would call every three to five days, and the longer it went on, the less he cared about his child.
This shows that my dad's mind was drawn to other things, but is there anything more important at home than the children?
There's definitely something fishy going on here, so I have to go back and find out what he's been up to all this time."
Zhou Chen immediately realized what Lucy was suggesting. He had been living too comfortably and had forgotten something very important: Lucy's shameless father.
As the plot unfolds, just one month after Lucy's father handed the child over to Lucy, he actually started arranging a second marriage.
Considering the strange things Lucy said, this must have already happened. At this point, Lucy's father is probably thinking about how to pursue the older woman.
At this point, Lucy's father had no time to care about his little daughter; his own happiness was more important.
Zhou Chen has no factual evidence; he can't just deduce that someone cheated based on the plot alone.
However, Zhou Chen still reminded her, "Lucy, I won't stop you from going back, but you should be mentally prepared. I've said before that your father is not a simple character. The only possibility for this situation is that he has found another woman."
Because he was afraid of revealing that he had a younger daughter, he could only choose to avoid calling you as much as possible so as not to arouse your suspicion.
I believe no woman would want to take care of a newborn child when she is about to retire, so he had no choice but to keep the fact that he had a little daughter a secret.
"If that woman really wanted to raise your sister, she would have gone to take care of her own grandson long ago. Who would want to take care of a stepdaughter who isn't related to them by blood?"
Lucy frowned. Zhou Chen had warned her before, but Lucy hadn't taken it to heart at all.
Lucy was immediately reminded of this by her father's strange behavior, which is why she became uneasy.
"I went back to find out why because I was worried that something like this would happen."
If my dad really remarries, then the family fortune absolutely cannot be allowed to go to that woman; not a single penny of what belongs to my mom should be lost.
Even if I don't need it, the property will still be left to Mianmian. I can't let them both have an easy time.
Lucy made her stance clear, implying she was going back to cause trouble, which made Zhou Chen even more worried about Lucy going back alone.
Lucy is heavily pregnant and has been traveling a long and tiring journey. She might even get into an argument with her father when she gets home. How could Zhou Chen be at ease?
"Lucy, why don't I go back? I'll investigate things first and then give you information."
If things really turn out as I suspect, and you come back then, and we can even bring a lawyer, I believe your father won't compromise easily. We need to be prepared for a falling out then.”
Lucy hesitated for a while but finally agreed. Rather than running around while heavily pregnant, she thought it would be better to let Zhou Chen handle it. She could show up when needed, which would save her the trouble of traveling back and forth.
Hehe, Zhou Chen took all the responsibility upon himself, because he didn't trust Lucy.
If Lucy, heavily pregnant, were to run around recklessly and something were to happen along the way, Zhou Chen would regret it terribly.
