Actually, when it comes to status, Cen Bao in the Sheng Family is absolutely more legitimate than Sheng Xi.
Because, Cen Bao was conceived before Yin Hehe got divorced.
Whereas Sheng Xi, even to this day, is a non-marital child. A non-marital child can only inherit the father's portion of the property under the law.
But Cen Bao can inherit everything!
Lin Shuang trembled with rage, probably never having expected that a mere nanny could be so knowledgeable about the law.
Moreover, so understanding.
"Fine, I won't talk to you about that. How do you want to handle this right now? If my son comes back and sees his most cherished toy broken, he'll surely make the whole Shengfei Bay restless. By then, if his daddy finds out, you should know the consequences," she finally chose to back down.
Turning then to angrily demand how to handle the situation.
Hearing mention of daddy, Cen Bao, staying in mommy's embrace, thought of that man's fury and his little face grew even paler.
Yin Hehe also furrowed her brows.
"Then, Miss Lin, what would you like to do?"
She swallowed her humiliation and finally asked the question.
Because, she knew that this time the bitch wasn't wrong; that bastard man hated her and her son, and if there was trouble, he definitely wouldn't stand with them.
Right after she finished speaking, she saw the woman's lips curl into a venomous smile.
"What else could I want? The most perfect solution to the issue, of course, is for you to replace it with an identical one. I can act as if nothing happened, but can you, a nanny, afford the five million dollars?"
"..."
"Otherwise, there's another way. You take the blame for the child's mistake."
She added another sentence, posing as a good person, smiling as she gave Yin Hehe another suggestion.
Yin Hehe fell silent.
She admit it?
Wouldn't that just mean waiting to be driven out by her bastard man?
Compared to the child, a nanny breaking something so valuable, the outcome would be just that, wouldn't it?
Yin Hehe's gaze narrowed as she stared at the woman, finally understanding her true intention…
--
The small courtyard.
After Yin Hehe returned home with the child, the little fellow dared not speak a word, just carefully watching mommy from the side.
"Don't worry, mommy will solve it," she reassured him, gently rubbing his little head.
But as soon as she finished speaking, a "plop" sound came as two teardrops fell from the little one's brimming eyes.
"But, where would mommy get so much money? Mommy, I really didn't mean to break it on purpose, it was that nasty woman who suddenly appeared behind me and yelled, and I got scared, and it fell to the ground."
Wiping his tears, he explained feeling very wronged in front of mommy.
Yin Hehe hugged him tightly.
She of course believed him.
Because, this trap was set by that bitch to kick her out, so no matter what the little one did, he'd be framed by her.
"Okay, baby, you've been tired all day. Listen to mommy and rest well, okay?"
"...Okay."
The little one eventually agreed.
After a while, as Aunt Ke took him to the neighboring room to sleep, she came back in.
"Xiaohan, maybe we should still look for the young master. It's his child, he shouldn't mind," she suggested.
"Really?"
Yin Hehe, who was browsing her phone, let out a cold laugh when she heard this.
She had never harbored such extravagant hopes.
She still remembered the day she brought her son back, that bastard didn't even want to admit the child was his. If it weren't for the old patriarch's intervention, he probably wouldn't have allowed her and her son to stay in the Sheng Family.
Yin Hehe scrolled through her phone and finally, her gaze settled on the avatar labeled "Song Wenjing."
"Xiaohe, are you there?"
It was as if there were a telepathic connection; Song Wenjing suddenly sent a message.
Yin Hehe was startled.
Yin Hehe had actually been avoiding contacting Song Wenjing over the years. He was her elder brother's good friend, and she feared that too much contact would let her elder brother learn of her situation.
Her elder brother could be said to be the only person from the Yin Family who was kind to her, aside from her grandmother.
"I'm here, Brother Song."
In the end, she still replied.
Immediately, once the other party received the message, he replied back.
"Xiaohe, I want to talk to you about grandma's situation. I've looked into it, and if you don't want me to get involved, I can arrange for a doctor to go there."
"What?"
Upon hearing it was about this matter, Hehe furrowed her brows even tighter.
Right now, her mind was fully occupied with resolving the trouble Cen Bao had caused, leaving her no capacity to think about her grandmother's situation.
"Brother Song, about grandma's matter, let me think about it a bit more. I have another matter for which I'd like to ask for your help."
"You say." Song Wenjing was very straightforward.
So, after hesitating for a while on her phone, Yin Hehe finally opened up to this person.
"Three million U.S. dollars, Brother Song. I didn't bring that much money with me this time; my funds are all in Landun. It would be a bit troublesome to withdraw such a large amount at once, so..."
"Give me your account number."
Before she could finish speaking, the other person had already sent these words over.
No questions about the reason, no questions about the lending period...
Yin Hehe stared at the message blankly. After a long time, she suddenly looked up at the ceiling, barely stopping the tears from rolling down.
Yin Hehe decided to go out.
She didn't have a domestic bank account, and even if Song Wenjing agreed to lend her money, she'd have to collect it personally, otherwise, it wouldn't reach her hands.
"Xiaohan, where are you going to borrow money? We're talking about five million U.S. dollars here."
Aunt Ke was worried when she saw her heading out.
But Yin Hehe just smiled faintly, "Aunt Ke, isn't Ms. Yin's family here? I'll go to them."
The Yin Family?
Aunt Ke was stunned...
--
Downtown.
Sheng Siyuan, who was still at the company, only found out what had happened at home in the afternoon.
"Little Master Cen Bao didn't do it on purpose. He saw that Sheng Xi's room was open, just took a glance at the doorway, and then noticed the toy," said Xu Guannan, the bodyguard, as he took out the surveillance video from Shengfei Bay and placed it before his BOSS.
Sheng Siyuan glanced at it.
"A toy, taken is taken, what's she making a fuss about?" His tone was very indifferent.
"But, Miss Lin said it was a birthday gift you gave to Master Sheng Xi, worth five million U.S. dollars, and now the nanny has gone to borrow money," Xu Guannan took back his phone, then briefly explained the subsequent development of events.
Five million?
And in U.S. dollars?
Hearing this figure, the man who had just seemed unemotional had a flash of darkness appear in his eyes from behind his glasses.
"Is she crazy? What kind of toy requires tens of millions of RMB?"
"..."
Xu Guannan did not respond to the question.
As someone who had followed this BOSS for many years, he, of course, knew that his master wouldn't spend money so thoughtlessly.
A businessman, values getting what they pay for.
"Wait, you said the nanny went to borrow money?"
After a few seconds of silence, the man finally reacted.
