Chapter 17: Cold Eyes
Shi Caining put on a decent suit and walked out of the room. She saw Shi Qianyu and her mother eating breakfast together in the dining room.
"Sister, there's still hot porridge in the kitchen. Eat a bowl and go look for a job!" Shi Qianyu hurriedly called out when she saw Shi Caining.
Her sparkling eyes were filled with guilt. If she hadn't fallen, her sister wouldn't have been treated like this by her mother.
"Your brother still wants to eat later," Mo Xiao said as she rolled her eyes at Shi Qianyu.
Shi Qianxuan was the son of Mo Xiao and Shi Tianming. He was eleven years old this year and was currently in the fifth grade. He would stay in bed until the end of the day before he would get up to go to school.
"Mom, I can't finish eating by myself. Big sister, eat some!" At this moment, Shi Qianxuan's muffled voice rang out from his room.
"There's no need. I don't have time to eat." Shi Caining tugged at the corner of her mouth. She had long since calmed down. No matter how much her mother disliked her, she was still used to it.
"Mom, how could you do this, sis..." Before Shi Qianyu could finish her sentence, Shi Caining had already rushed out of the house.
The alleyway was still filled with a stench. It was precisely because of this that the houses here were relatively cheap...
Shi Caining sighed softly in her heart as she quickened her pace to catch the bus.
About an hour later, she arrived at the golden land of S City - the Seaside Villa District.
The person who received her was Mother Jiang, who was on the phone. After some pleasantries, Nanny Jiang led her into Villa 09.
The interior of the villa was mainly light blue. It was quiet, elegant, and simple. It was generous but not noble.
What Shi Caining did not expect was that Nanny Jiang who received her was very gentle. She made her cook three dishes. One vegetable, one meat, one soup.
Shi Caining did not have much confidence. After all, this kind of old lady from a big family would not have had a bad cook in the past.
But during the cooking process, Shi Caining was also quite serious.
But what made Shi Caining happy was that the other party was very satisfied with the dishes she cooked and was willing to sign a contract with her immediately.
Shi Caining urgently needed a job right now, and the content of the contract required her to come to this villa to stay and take care of the old man.
Shi Caining was really conflicted. On one hand, she was just a cook and wasn't very famous, but she didn't want to be a nurse for the old man.
But under the current situation, if she rejected this job, then finding another job would undoubtedly be even more difficult.
Moreover, Nanny Jiang's conditions were very good. The starting salary for a month was 5000 yuan, and there was also a monthly bonus. Of course, it would depend on how much she worked.
A monthly salary of 5000 yuan was nothing to many people, but to Shi Caining, it was something she could not wish for. After all, every time she found a job, the Qiao family would torment her to death.
And the people who lived here were either rich or noble. As long as she won the old lady's favor, then this job would still be able to last for a long time, right?
Thinking of this, Shi Caining no longer hesitated. She looked at the contents of the contract and signed it without any harsh conditions.
"Alright, Miss Shi. Old madam likes your cooking. You can move here and stay here for a long time tomorrow," Nanny Jiang said with a faint smile.
"Thank you, Nanny Jiang."
"Oh right, we have bedding here. We don't need you to bring anything. You just need to bring clothes," Nanny Jiang reminded her.
Shi Caining hurriedly thanked her. However, why did she feel that something was amiss?
However, she could not guess what was going on. After all, she needed a stable job the most right now. It was not bad for her to leave home to live here. At the very least...
When she thought of her mother, Mo Xiao, Shi Caining's heart sank.
The next morning, Shi Caining packed up her things and left the house. Shi Qianyu had yet to get up. Only Mo Xiao came out from the kitchen to take a look at her. She saw that she was carrying a suitcase and looked like she was going on a journey.
Mo Xiao only gave Shi Caining a cold glance. Her gaze was like an icy thorn that pierced through one's heart in the cold winter. It pierced her heart coldly, turning her heart into a hedgehog that had shrunk into a ball.
