Hidden talents and rising stars in the nanny industry

Chapter 68 Gulu, Gulu, Gulu

As dawn approached, they finally fell into a deep sleep.

However, I hadn't been asleep for long when I was woken up by a piercing alarm clock.

"Ugh, I just fell asleep, how come it's already dawn? I'm so sleepy!"

Zhang Xinru rubbed her eyes, revealing extreme fatigue and drowsiness.

"Wang Ma, my throat!"

Zhang Xinru felt a fire burning in her throat.

Wang Ma sat on the bed, coughing incessantly and swallowing her saliva repeatedly.

The dry, stinging sensation made it almost impossible for her to speak.

Receiving no reply, Zhang Xinru looked over with some confusion.

"Wang Ma, why aren't you saying anything?"

Wang Ma pointed to her throat and then waved her hand, indicating that she could not speak.

I guess I talked too much yesterday, plus I spent a long time in the sun downstairs at the company.

The main reason was that I ate too much watermelon, which caused me to get a sore throat.

Zhang Xinru isn't much better off; her throat is going to be ruined if she doesn't drink water soon.

The two quickly ran into the kitchen, saw a large basin of water on the table, and without thinking, each scooped out a cup.

They spat it out as soon as they put it in their mouths.

Wang Ma coughed nauseously, "Ugh! Cough cough cough..."

Zhang Xinru frowned: "Ptooey, ptooey, what kind of water is this? It smells like alcohol!"

Who is this despicable person who did this?

The servants nearby didn't have time to stop them. "Oh dear, this is disinfectant, it's for sterilizing tableware. How could you two drink it?"

"What? Disinfectant!"

The two men's expressions changed drastically. Without the slightest hesitation, they rushed to the tap and began rinsing their mouths repeatedly.

"Why didn't you say so sooner? You almost killed us! Glug glug glug..."

Zhang Xinru felt a bit scared; thank goodness she hadn't swallowed it! Otherwise, she would be on her way to the hospital right now.

Wang Ma was still rinsing her mouth with saliva.

Is that little bitch jealous of her raise and trying to kill her?

"You didn't ask when you drank it!"

The maid was a little puzzled by Wang Ma's quiet demeanor.

Strange, why isn't Wang Ma scolding her? Normally she would have started scolding her long ago. This is really not like the usual Wang Ma!

Wang Ma wanted to curse, but she couldn't utter a sound.

Her throat hurt terribly, and she had several mouth ulcers, which was very uncomfortable.

She could only glare at him silently, and as she left, she gave him a fierce look, conveying her anger through her eyes.

The two returned to the bedroom and brushed their teeth several times until they were satisfied that there was no alcohol taste in their mouths.

Zhang Xinru advised, "Wang Ma, why don't you take some anti-inflammatory or heat-clearing medicine? It's not good to keep in this pain!"

Wang Ma shook her head and uttered two words with difficulty, "Wait a while." We'll talk about it after the young master leaves.

Zhang Xinru looked pained.

"Wang Ma, please stop talking. I'm scared by your voice." It's mainly because my ears can't take it.

Zhang Xinru thought that Wang Ma was determined to carry the burden, so she pulled her into the kitchen.

"Then I'll make you some pear soup to soothe your throat."

Aunt Wang nodded. "That's a good idea."

Zhang Xinru hurriedly cooked a pot of something that looked like "poop," and it was all black.

After it was cooked, I scooped a bowl and handed it to Wang Ma.

This is the greatest sincerity she can offer.

Although it doesn't look very appealing, it's drinkable, so that's fine.

Wang Ma took it with disdain, unable to bring herself to eat it no matter how she looked at it.

She wondered if the cooked stuff was even drinkable.

Could it be that Zhang Ma also wants to harm her?

Wang Ma handed the bowl back, indicating that Zhang Xinru should drink first.

Zhang Xinru angrily accepted it.

"I kindly cooked soup for you, and you don't trust me at all!"

Damn you, Wang Ma, you've lost all your conscience.

Zhang Xinru took a big gulp without hesitation, then smacked her lips and frowned slightly.

"Hmm...it doesn't taste like anything! It's so bland, Aunt Wang, you should try it."

Wang Ma shook her head in refusal; she had no appetite for it and would rather die of thirst than drink it.

She didn't quite understand why Zhang Ma would make something like this.

Logically speaking, those who can come here to work as nannies have all undergone strict screening.

Each nanny is required to be able to cook, make soup, and clean—they must be proficient in everything…

How could Zhang Ma make even the most basic soup so... "disgusting"?

Wang Ma's facial expressions changed frequently, making for a fascinating sight.

Zhang Xinru patted her, "What are you thinking about, Aunt Wang?"

Wang Ma shook her head, unable to understand and no longer wanting to think about it.

After throwing away the soup that Zhang Ma had cooked, he cooked a new pot himself.

She would rather die than eat the soup cooked by Zhang Ma; it looked disgusting.

Zhang Xinru stood there dumbfounded as she watched the soup she had made being poured away.

Damn you, Wang Ma, your good intentions were completely wasted.

She didn't believe that Wang Ma's cooking could be that good; she was too picky.

After Wang Ma finished cooking, she ladled herself a large bowlful and drank the white fungus and pear soup with a look of enjoyment, feeling much more comfortable in her throat.

Zhang Xinru quickly ladled herself a bowl, wanting to see just how delicious Wang Ma's cooking could be.

It was sweet but not cloying when it first tasted, and the flavor was completely different from what she made. It also looked very appealing.

Zhang Xinru exclaimed in delight, "Wang Ma, your cooking is amazing!"

Wang Ma nodded smugly in agreement.

The two had only taken a few sips of their drinks when they heard Fu Xiaochen and Ye Jiajia arguing in the hall.

"What's wrong with them now? Let's go out and see."

Zhang Xinru and the others didn't have time to think much before they quickly put down their bowls and chopsticks and left the kitchen.

In the hall, Ye Jiajia stared stubbornly at Fu Xiaochen.

“I told you I need to go to work. I can’t be kept like a bird by you…”

Fu Xiaochen irritably refused her, "You're not allowed to go. Stay home and behave yourself."

"I'm going! Have you forgotten your promise last night that you wouldn't restrict my freedom anymore? How can you go back on your word!"

Ye Jiajia's eyes were filled with disappointment.

Fu Xiaochen opened his mouth but couldn't refute it. He regretted making those promises last night, which left him with no reason to refuse today.

Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma stood aside and watched quietly.

So the female lead is going to work! So diligent! Wouldn't it be better to just lie around being waited on every day?

I really don't understand what she's thinking. Should I say she's just putting up with whatever hardship she can't endure, or that she's trying to be self-reliant?

Fu Xiaochen got angry just looking at Zhang Ma and the others. It was all Zhang Ma's fault. Why was she wailing last night and even making Jiajia cry with her?

Zhang Xinru felt a chill run down her spine from Fu Xiaochen's gaze.

Did she provoke this bastard? Or is he annoyed that she was watching?

So she left?
