The moment she finished her sentence, Qiao Nan had the urge to slap herself. She had spoken as though she were truly a guest of the Zhai family and was waiting for Xiao Zhao to serve her.

“All right, then you can make your way over later.” Zhai Sheng did not force Qiao Nan too much. His mom alone was more than enough for Qiao Nan to handle. He was in no hurry to make a move. Anyway, he had already achieved all his goals of the day.

The moment Zhai Sheng left, Qiao Nan immediately calmed down now that she was no longer affected by Zhai Sheng’s presence. It was as though she was a phone that had just been cut off from the Wi-Fi connection. Qiao Nan patted her chest. “F*ck! I guess I underestimated Brother Zhai’s influence on me. Why does it feel like my brain is on strike with Brother Zhai around?”

Feeling herself in an abnormal situation, Qiao Nan began panicking. She could not go on being so muddleheaded. If she did, she would ‘get into trouble’ very soon.

Qiao Nan was like a cat on a hot tin roof. After pacing around the room several times, Qiao Nan’s head suddenly shot up in confusion. Upon looking around the room, she hit herself on her head. “My brain is not only on strike! My IQ is practically in the negative region!”

It was only now that Qiao Nan finally realized that she seemed to have been tricked once again. But Qiao Nan did not dare to guess who had tricked her, much less pin the blame on Zhai Sheng. What Qiao Nan knew was that she had been asked to choose her own room previously. Even though she had not picked a room and had agreed to stay in any room, she had never expected to stay right next door to Zhai Sheng! That was not just ‘any room’!

Looking again at her luggage that had already been placed on the bed, Qiao Nan’s gaze became complicated. She had not said a single word to Xiao Xu from the time she had alighted from the car. Similarly, Xiao Xu probably had had no interactions with Zhai Sheng since then. How could it be so coincidental that Zhai Sheng had brought her straight to the room next to his and that Xiao Xu had accurately brought her luggage into this room without any hesitation either?

Xiao Xu’s actions undoubtedly proved that Zhai Sheng had intended on doing so long ago. But how was that possible?

Qiao Nan collapsed on her bed, paralyzed by worry. Her brain completely shut off. She had refused to allow herself to overthink anything, but why was it that people around her were doing things that made her misunderstand and get more confused?

She could not withstand a life like that!

No matter how depressed and confused Qiao Nan felt, she could only throw a small tantrum in her own room. When it came to dinner time, she dared not wait for anyone to call her, much less allow others to wait for her at the dinner table.

Seeing Xiao Zhao, who had taken over her job and brought the dishes out, Qiao Nan felt as though there were nails on her chair, and she felt extremely uneasy. “Xiao Zhao, is there anything I can help you with?” In short, she did not feel at ease sitting there and waiting for her meal.

“No, there’s no need.” Xiao Zhao was pleasantly surprised by Qiao Nan’s offer but rejected her kind offer. Qiao Nan was still unclear about the Zhai family’s intentions, but Xiao Zhao had overheard their conversations more than once. That was why Xiao Zhao was clear that her ‘senior’ had gotten lucky and had caught the eye of the Zhai family.

Just some time ago, Qiao Nan had been in the same position as she was in, a caretaker of the family. But today, their statuses were as different as night and day. Qiao Nan was the master sitting at the table, waiting to be served, while she was still a salaried caretaker.

Sigh. Why was there such a stark difference between people’s lives? Why were some people always so lucky and fortunate while others were not?

Xiao Zhao had only thought about such a thing for a moment before she quickly got rid of such a thought from her mind. Qiao Nan, who had once been her peer, had been able to achieve what she had only dreamed of for a moment! It was no wonder that Xiao Zhao had thought about it for a long while. Thankfully, Xiao Zhao was no Qiao Zijin. Her thoughts were merely her thoughts, and she would not act on them.

Xiao Zhao would not be so foolish as to offend Qiao Nan instead of trying to please her now that she knew that Qiao Nan was very likely going to become the mistress of the family. Working in the Zhai family was not hard, and the salary was not low either. Most importantly, she was working for the chief.

Having worked under Zhai Sheng for a month, Xiao Zhao had already experienced the benefits of working for the chief. Earlier on, there had been some problems with the household registration for her son. As such, she had been unable to register her son for school. She had not talked to Zhai Sheng about it but had mentioned it in pa.s.sing to Xiao Xu. As expected, within the same week, she received news that her son would be able to attend a better school when the terms started in spring!

When the family of Xiao Zhao’s ex-husband found out about how Xiao Zhao’s mom had completely taken care of her child’s schooling problem, the whole family was dumbfounded. They could not be clearer about Xiao Zhao’s abilities. Their family was rich, but Xiao Zhao had neither money nor power. How had Xiao Zhao been able to solve a problem that even their family had not been able to solve?

Afterward, her ex-husband’s family heard that Xiao Zhao was working as a caretaker for a powerful and important figure. Of course, as long as she did not make any mistakes and did her job well, she would be able to find someone to help her out with something she had no ability to solve.

Hearing the change in Xiao Zhao caused Xiao Zhao’s husband to reconsider his situation. He knew that if he had connections with someone in the government sector, his business would improve by leaps and bounds. Not only would he be able to have more business, but it would also come much more quickly. Thus, he visited Xiao Zhao to ask her of this favor.

Xiao Zhao’s ex-husband expressed that he would give Xiao Zhao a million yuan for her retirement once he made it big, as long as Xiao Zhao was willing to do him this favor. He even promised that all of his earnings would go to their son, and not anyone else. As such, Xiao Zhao would indirectly be helping their son as well.

Having been tricked by her ex-husband once, Xiao Zhao was no fool this time. She was not after the one million yuan, but she had to consider the fact that her ex-husband’s a.s.sets would eventually end up in her son’s hands. As for whether she would be able to help her ex-husband out, that was something else. What was most important was helping her son get hold of her ex-husband’s a.s.sets.

She had been the one by her ex-husband’s side and had toiled alongside him to come to where the family was today. Without her, there was no way her ex-husband’s family would be so successful today. As such, it was only natural for all of her ex-husband’s a.s.sets to be pa.s.sed down to her son. Thus, Xiao Zhao made her ex-husband sign a letter of guarantee that ensured that he would transfer all of his a.s.sets to her son.

Her ex-husband had only been trying to coax her with those words. The new wife that he had just married was already pregnant with a child. With a new child in the family, her ex-husband would definitely favor that child from his new wife. How could he possibly be willing to leave all his a.s.sets to her son?

Besides, he was still young and still had to work hard to bring his family business to greater heights in the future. On what basis should he hand the family business over to his son who had never done anything for the business? Xiao Zhao’s ex-husband had never expected that there would be such an improvement in Xiao Zhao. Now, words alone were no longer able to move her. If he was capable, he would have to sign a letter of guarantee and get a lawyer to settle the paperwork. Otherwise, she would never believe him!
