Chen Cheng's mouth immediately curved into a smile. "Sister Shengnan gave birth?"
Then you help me send some things over.
Zou Yu nodded. "Oh, okay, I'll go take care of it right now."
Chen Cheng thought about it again. "Forget it, just buy the items first. When she's discharged from the hospital, I'll visit her at home."
"Alright," Zou Yu raised an eyebrow. "Then I'm going home too?"
Chen Cheng waved his hand without even lifting his head, continuing to tease his cat.
Zou Yu hadn't seen her younger sister in several months; she was a doting sister who worried endlessly about her.
Zou Yue had a terminal case of "love brain."
Chen Cheng directly suggested that Zou Yu find a top-tier psychologist to intervene.
She's much better now.
After Zou Yu left, Chen Cheng stroked his cat while thinking about things.
He suddenly realized that there were suddenly so many children around him.
Lucy was now also taking care of a child.
Lucy's mother had given birth to a younger sister for her.
She had given birth, but she didn't survive until discharge, and just...
Her father wasn't a simple character either; he grew tired of the child within two days of her birth.
He dumped the person onto Lucy to take care of.
At first, Lucy thought it was because her mother had just passed away, and the old man would think of her mother and feel sad when he saw the younger sister.
Soon, Lucy noticed something wrong with her father.
She took a flight home, and sure enough...
Less than half a month after her mother passed away, her father had already brought a woman home to live with them.
The speed was so fast.
Lucy did the math and guessed that he had cheated while her mother was pregnant.
After the child was born, the person died.
The only obstacle to him running off with his new lover was this newborn female Infant, so he tried every means to dump her on Lucy.
Once she figured out the cause and effect, Lucy was completely furious.
She forced her father to negotiate and split the inheritance left by her mother.
That was the house and cash at home.
The inheritance belonging to her mother was divided into four parts: her father received one part as the husband; she received one part as the daughter; the younger sister was still in swaddling clothes and underage, so she received a double share.
The family property was considered joint marital property; Father Fang took his half and then inherited one-fourth of Mother Fang's share. This meant Lucy took away 3/8 of the family property, which was about 2.6 million.
This money should be enough to raise her younger sister until she comes of age.
The younger sister was born because her mother risked her life to have her.
Now that the father was unreliable, Lucy could only choose to raise her younger sister herself.
With a nanny and a bunch of "older sisters" like Ye Zhenzhen, Zhu Zhe, and Qin Shi helping out.
Lucy was now enjoying it.
After teasing the cat for a while, Chen Cheng went upstairs to take a shower, changed his clothes, and drove out.
It was already noon, and the sun was blazing.
Looking in the rearview mirror, he didn't see the Bodyguard's car.
Chen Cheng was still a bit unaccustomed to it.
He immediately turned and called Eleven.
Although the domestic safety coefficient was high, one still couldn't let their guard down.
Before long, Chen Cheng drove into the basement garage of Binjiang Garden.
After going upstairs, Chen Cheng didn't use the password to open the door directly but pressed the doorbell instead.
Before long, a middle-aged woman carrying a child came to open the door, looking at Chen Cheng with a puzzled expression. "Hello, who are you looking for?"
Chen Cheng smiled. "Auntie Yang, right?"
The woman was stunned. "Oh, yes I am, and you are...?"
"Chen Cheng."
"Oh, Mr. Chen," Auntie Yang immediately revealed a bright smile. "Please come in, please come in."
"Ms. Fang mentioned that you would be coming today."
Chen Cheng nodded with a smile, entered the room, and reached out to take the child she was holding. "This must be the Infant, right?"
Seeing that he wanted to hold the child, Auntie Yang blinked, but still carefully handed her over to him.
The little one stared at Chen Cheng with round, bulging eyes, grinning and laughing.
Chen Cheng didn't even take off his shoes, carrying the Infant directly into the room.
The little one was already nearly three months old, with a pink and tender little face; she was very cute.
Chen Cheng stared into her big eyes with a bright smile. "Guess, who am I?"
The little one was clenching her fists, waving them irregularly, looking very happy.
"Ha~"
She even opened her mouth and let out a breath.
Chen Cheng had a bright smile on his face. "Yo, yo, yo, is this saying hello to me?"
"I'm big brother."
"Mr. Chen, please have some water."
At this moment, Auntie Yang poured a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table in front of Chen Cheng.
"Oh, thank you."
Chen Cheng looked up at Auntie Yang and asked casually, "It must be hard taking care of the Infant."
Auntie Yang smiled. "Children, you know, they're all like this. They cry when they're hungry, cry when they've pooped, and cry when they have a stomachache."
"I have to feed her ten-plus times a day, and I can't even get a good night's sleep."
Chen Cheng was still teasing the little cutie in his arms, but a contemptuous smile had already appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The words were spoken casually, but every word was an attempt to claim credit.
Looking at the development of the plot, this Auntie Yang was not a good person either.
From the Infant's birth, cooperating with Father Fang to scheme against Lucy, to using the excuse of getting vaccinations to trick Ye Zhenzhen into being her driver.
In her few appearances, she had portrayed this cunning and mercenary minor character vividly.
In the original plot, Lucy had an accident at work.
Auntie Yang was a person who was very observant, sharp-eyed, and black-hearted.
She discovered abnormalities from Lucy's daily phone calls, analyzed and assessed them, and heard about Lucy's plan to rent out the vacant secondary bedroom.
She concluded that Lucy had lost her job, was in a financial crisis, and was facing a collapse.
After being certain that Lucy had encountered difficulties, she decisively made up her mind to run away before the ship sank.
Others would at most immediately look for another job and then pack up and leave.
However, she was a bit different from others.
She also wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail Lucy before getting off the ship.
Logically speaking, she had witnessed the whole process of how Lucy forced Father Fang to divide the property.
She should have known that Lucy was not someone to be trifled with.
But as luck would have it, under immense pressure, Lucy fell ill.
It really gave her this opportunity.
However, even with the wind at her back, Auntie Yang remained calm and cautious.
In order to completely crush Lucy and successfully extort three months of compensation.
She even brought her son and daughter-in-law, a powerful combination comparable to Wolong and Fengchu.
The son had a ferocious face and a face full of flesh, responsible for the physical conflict;
The daughter-in-law had a glib tongue and sticky fingers, responsible for the verbal conflict.
Cheered on by her family, Auntie Yang fabricated a lie about her mother-in-law being critically ill and needing to return urgently.
Knowing that Lucy had lost her job and was so poor she was eating dirt, she still did such a thing.
This was forcing the already ill Lucy to borrow money from her neighbors.
She had seen the harmonious relationship on the 22nd floor with her own eyes.
She understood the situation as well.
The wealthy second-generation Ye Zhenzhen, the optical engineer Yu Chuhui who held two jobs and made a fortune every month, and the high-level executive of a five-star hotel, Zhu Zhe.
Among these people, checking the bank balance of any one of them might be countless times higher than He Minhong's IQ.
Also, she was very clear about one thing.
Although Lucy had no job and no income, she still had a sum of family property inherited from her mother.
Extorting three months' salary was just a drop in the bucket, a piece of cake.
Oh, no, how could it be called extortion? That was the compensation I ‘deserved’.
Unfortunately, all calculations were in vain, and the teammates were pigs.
The daughter-in-law stole things at Lucy's house, giving Lucy a chance to turn the tables.
In the end, to protect her daughter-in-law, she had to slink away.
Such a vicious person, Chen Cheng absolutely dared not leave her by Lucy's side.
When Lucy was just an office worker, she dared to plot against the inheritance of Lucy's mother.
Now, Lucy had a boyfriend like Chen Cheng, a diamond bachelor.
It was possible that this Auntie Yang was already eyeing the house under her feet.
Also, she was a person with a dark heart.
Who knew if she might get emotionally excited and drop the child or hit the child.
This was a ticking time bomb.
Chen Cheng looked up at Auntie Yang. "Auntie Yang, don't stand there, sit... sit."
"Okay."
Auntie Yang responded with a bright smile on her face.
Who knew Chen Cheng would change the subject. "Since it's so hard, let's find another auntie to help Auntie Yang share the burden."
As he spoke, Chen Cheng ignored her nonsense about 'no need, no need, I'm not tired'.
He took out his phone and called Li Na.
He had just returned Zou Yu, and now he was arranging for someone else to work again; it was truly a bit inhuman.
It was appropriate to find Li Na; having been a secretary for a long time, she had connections in all aspects.
"Help me find a maternity matron from the confinement center. Hmm... also find an early childhood educator, one who is professional."
