Chapter 790 We can't go along with their wishes; let's take the kids to live in Shanghai.
Over the next few days, Lucy fully experienced what it meant to be shameless, as the nanny called Lucy every few days to talk about her sister.
At first, Lucy just treated it as a monkey show for entertainment, knowing they were acting, and didn't care too much.
But who could have imagined that they would go further and further, and even Lucy's father cooperated with the nanny to film a video in order to soften Lucy's heart.
The video shows Lucy's father drunkenly yelling at his unruly child, accusing Mianmian of being a jinx who brought misfortune to her mother.
That's going too far. What era are we living in? How can people still be so feudal and superstitious? She's still a baby. Is it really necessary to say such hurtful things to her?
At this moment, Lucy could no longer bear it; she never expected her father to say such vicious words.
Even though she knew it might be a trick by her father, Lucy still decided to take the child in. Who knows what her sister would become if she grew up with a father like that?
So the next day, Zhou Chen drove Lucy back to his hometown. When Lucy's father saw her return, a hint of joy flashed across his face. It seemed that his plan had succeeded.
Who knew that Lucy would then launch into a tirade of angry words, holding up a video to her father's face and demanding, "Dad, if you want me to bring my sister to live in Shanghai, you can just say what you want to say. There's no need to say such vicious things."
This is your daughter! She's still a baby. Why are you taking your anger out on her?
"You bear a lot of responsibility for Mom's death. If you hadn't had a second child, this tragedy wouldn't have happened. How dare you say my sister was born to bring bad luck to Mom? Is that something a father should say?"
Seeing that his daughter had seen through his thoughts, Lucy's father stopped pretending and said directly, "Seeing the child reminds me of your deceased mother. To be honest, I really disliked her. If you feel sorry for her, take her away. Then I'll be happy to have some peace and quiet."
Upon hearing this, Lucy inwardly cursed her father for being shameless. If you don't like your little sister, why did you have her in the first place?
"So you're happy to have some peace and quiet. I think you want to remarry. Do you think your sister is a burden, so you're thinking of dumping her on me?"
Thinking of Zhou Chen's words, Lucy directly exposed her father's thoughts. However, before Lucy could finish speaking, Zhou Chen covered her mouth, saying, "It's too early to say some things now. You should stop now."
Seeing Zhou Chen cover his mouth and even give him a wink, Lucy shut up, though she didn't know why.
But Lucy's father's expression changed. His daughter had actually mentioned the word "remarriage." Had his secret been exposed? Did his daughter already know that he had another woman outside?
"Uncle, Lucy was too angry just now, so she said some things without thinking. You don't need to take it to heart. This is the authorization letter we prepared. From now on, Mianmian will be raised by us. We will definitely treat Mianmian well."
Also, you should have prepared things like the child's birth certificate; we'll be taking it with us later.
Worried that Lucy might say something wrong, Zhou Chen started to interrupt. Lucy's father, who had come to his senses, signed his name directly on the document Zhou Chen handed him. He hadn't expected Zhou Chen to be so easy to talk to, which was beyond his expectations.
"We've already prepared the child's birth certificate. Your Aunt Yang knows where it is. She's experienced in taking care of children, so let her go with you."
Lucy's father started recommending Aunt Yang, but they were destined to be disappointed because Zhou Chen had excluded Aunt Yang from the very beginning.
Haha, if Zhou Chen hadn't warned Lucy to be careful of this Aunt Yang, she might have really brought Aunt Yang back to Shanghai.
However, Zhou Chen repeatedly emphasized that there was something wrong with the nanny, and now his father even recommended that Aunt Yang go back to Shanghai with him, which further proved that the two of them were conspiring to deceive him.
At this moment, Zhou Chen started to lie: "Oh dear, Aunt Yang, I'm really sorry, our conditions in Shanghai are very poor, and we simply don't have any extra rooms for the nanny."
Lucy and I can't even afford a nanny after paying for daily expenses and rent. Now that we have a child to raise, the expenses will be even greater. So we've decided that Lucy will quit her job to stay home and take care of the child full-time.
Zhou Chen's words were of course a lie; he was just using it as an excuse to refuse the nanny.
But these words left the nanny dumbfounded. She had been promised a high-paying job and the opportunity to broaden her horizons in Shanghai. Why was she being fired now? This was not what she had been told.
The nanny's gaze fell on Lucy's father. A while ago, Lucy's father made such a good promise that she believed it, but now it turned out to be a complete joke.
Lucy's father was also a little embarrassed by the nanny's gaze. He hadn't expected Zhou Chen to refuse to let the nanny come along, which completely disrupted his plans.
"Hengheng, Aunt Yang is experienced in taking care of your sister, and your sister is very shy around strangers. She will only stop crying in her arms. Why don't you take her with you? I'll feel at ease letting her take care of your sister."
Lucy's father spoke up for the nanny, but Lucy only managed to say one thing: "Are you going to pay for the nanny?"
These words silenced Lucy's father, who immediately fell silent. Clearly, he didn't want to pay for the nanny, so he could only pretend to be dead and remain silent.
The nanny was quite annoyed. She immediately accused Lucy's father of being treacherous, saying that she had been deceiving Lucy on the phone to help him, and now he was turning his back on her.
The nanny demanded compensation from Lucy's father, or the matter would not be over.
It was easy to tell from their dog-eat-dog talk that they were indeed working together to fool Lucy, which made Lucy even angrier.
Unfortunately, Zhou Chen didn't want to see them fighting like dogs. Everything he had done was to prevent them from getting what they wanted. Zhou Chen, holding the child, and Lucy, carrying the luggage for the child that they had prepared in advance, left immediately.
As for the two of them arguing, let them do it; it has nothing to do with Zhou Chen anyway. In the end, Lucy's father gave the nanny 3000 yuan to get rid of her.
On the way back, Lucy asked Zhou Chen why he had covered her mouth earlier. Lucy had wanted to say something harsh: if her father really wanted to remarry, she would definitely teach him a lesson.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Chen disagreed with Lucy's approach. He immediately explained, "Lucy, what you said just now was a bit too impulsive. If your father really remarries one day, what you should do is not to make him look bad or teach him a lesson, but to try to get your hands on the family property."
Of course, it's not that I'm unwilling to spend money on your sister. What I'm trying to say is that the inheritance your mother left behind should belong to you and your sister, and shouldn't be used by your father to support his new wife. What do you think?
If your threatening words just now have put your father on guard, I believe that if he were to remarry someday, he would probably transfer his assets to prevent you from causing trouble. Then you and your sister would be left with nothing.
Zhou Chen's words made Lucy frown again. She felt that Zhou Chen made sense, and she had almost gotten into trouble.
If her father were to remarry, Lucy would definitely fight him for the inheritance, even if it meant giving up her own share to secure one for her sister.
The child in her womb was Zhou Chen's, and it was only right that Zhou Chen raise him. But the person in front of her was her younger sister, and she had no blood relation to Zhou Chen at all.
Zhou Chen helped raise his younger sister out of consideration for him; Zhou Chen had no obligation to raise her. Being too dependent on Zhou Chen might actually make him feel inferior in Zhou Chen's eyes.
Although Zhou Chen is a rich second-generation and doesn't mind spending money to help support his younger sister, he can't be shameless and let Zhou Chen suffer. If he has his mother's inheritance to support his sister's expenses, then he can stand tall in front of Zhou Chen.
Hehe, Zhou Chen has no idea what Lucy is thinking. Do we need to be so polite between us?
Anyway, the child has been brought back, and life on the 22nd floor is going to be even more lively from now on.
