Don't Let Me Down

Butler Wang calmed down when he saw that Nanny Zhao hadn't offended Lin Xuan.

He really had been blinded by his concern just moments ago.

Young Master Lin had a gentle temperament. Even if Lanzhi had accidentally offended him, he wouldn't have punished her excessively.

"Nanny Zhao, aren't you supposed to be working at the Lin residence?" Lin Xuan asked, puzzled.

Nanny Zhao replied, "Recently, the Lin family has run into some trouble. They probably don't have much money left, so they've been letting go of servants one after another. I was one of those let go."

Lin Xuan frowned deeply.

Nanny Zhao smiled. "The Lin family is full of drama, and the pay wasn't great anyway. I actually feel quite relieved not working there anymore."

If it weren't for her age and the fear of not finding a good job to pay for her daughter's medical treatment, she probably would have left the moment the Eldest Young Master left the Lin family.

"Later, I ran into Old Wang. He knew I was out of work, so he recommended me for a job here at Night Garden. Eldest Young Master, I had no idea you were here." Joy was evident on Nanny Zhao's face.

She had watched the Eldest Young Master grow up. She had witnessed everything he endured at the Lin family, and her heart truly ached for him.

It was a pity that as a mere servant, there wasn't much she could do. All she could manage was to secretly slip him some food and pocket money in private.

She knew the Eldest Young Master was doing well now, but she never imagined he would be with Boss Su.

It was wonderful.

Boss Su had power and influence. With Boss Su protecting him, he wouldn't have to worry about anyone bullying him anymore, and the Lin family wouldn't be able to touch him either.

Nanny Zhao's eyes misted over slightly.

The Eldest Young Master's suffering had finally ended, and happiness had arrived. Moreover, she never expected to have the opportunity to take care of him again.

Lin Xuan nodded. "So that's what happened."

"Nanny Zhao, just stay here at Night Garden with peace of mind from now on."

"Alright," Nanny Zhao nodded.

Lin Xuan's gaze lingered between Nanny Zhao and Butler Wang.

There was one thing he hadn't expected: that the woman Butler Wang liked was Nanny Zhao.

It was great that they were together.

Butler Wang was very responsible; he was a man worth entrusting one's life to.

Seeing the strong bond between Lin Xuan and Nanny Zhao made Butler Wang incredibly happy.

If someone was approved by Young Master Lin, their character must be excellent.

He could now pursue Lanzhi with confidence.

"Hua," Lin Xuan introduced, "this is Nanny Zhao. Back when I was at the Lin residence, she often took care of me."

"Mhm."

Su Hua nodded and glanced at Nanny Zhao.

Since she was someone who had taken care of him in the past, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to be just an ordinary servant.

She needed to raise her position and salary.

"Achoo."

Lin Xuan suddenly sneezed.

"Ah Xuan, what's wrong? Did you catch a cold?" Su Hua asked with concern.

"I don't think so." Lin Xuan shook his head. "My nose just feels a bit itchy."

He had a feeling someone was thinking about him.

It probably wasn't for anything good.

However, if someone was delivering themselves to his doorstep to be tormented, he would be more than happy to oblige.

"Hua, let me feed you," Lin Xuan said.

"Okay." Su Hua's eyes curved into a smile.

Lin Xuan resumed his feeding routine with Su Hua.

Seeing this scene, a look of relief appeared on Nanny Zhao's face.

The relationship between the Eldest Young Master and the Young Miss was truly wonderful.

The Eldest Young Master had finally found his happiness. Previously, when he was with Qin Ruoyao, it always felt like he was being subservient in front of her.

Although Boss Su was powerful and influential, she treated the Eldest Young Master as an equal.

Boss Su was truly the right person for him.

After dinner, Lin Xuan said, "Hua, let's go upstairs."

"I still have some matters to deal with. Ah Xuan, you go up first," Su Hua replied.

"Alright."

Lin Xuan left the dining room.

Su Hua's gaze landed on Nanny Zhao.

Nanny Zhao felt apprehensive. "Miss, is there a problem?"

Su Hua parted her red lips and asked, "How many years have you been working as a servant?"

Nanny Zhao lowered her head and replied, "Answering Miss, it has been thirty-three years."

Her family had been poor and couldn't afford to send her to school.

She had started working as a servant at sixteen.

"Thirty-three years. That is extensive experience," Su Hua said. "From now on, you will work alongside Butler Wang and assist him in managing the affairs of Night Garden. Your monthly salary will be one hundred thousand."

Nanny Zhao looked stunned.

She had only just started working at Night Garden, and the Young Miss was already giving her a promotion and a raise?

"Thank you, Miss."

Nanny Zhao snapped out of her daze and hurriedly expressed her gratitude.

A trace of excitement appeared on her face.

Her daughter was still hospitalized and undergoing treatment, costing tens of thousands every month. The one hundred thousand salary the Young Miss offered solved her urgent financial crisis perfectly.

Su Hua also left the dining room.

"Butler Wang," Nanny Zhao asked in confusion, "why did the Young Miss suddenly promote me and give me such a large sum of money?"

Butler Wang smiled. "It's because you took care of Young Master Lin in the past. The promotion and raise are the Young Miss's way of thanking you. It's a case of loving the house and its crow—she cares for you because she cares for him."

"I see." Nanny Zhao nodded.

Her eyes reddened.

Now that her salary had increased, she finally had the money to treat her daughter's illness. She just wondered if her daughter would be able to pull through.

The other servants serving in the dining room were incredibly envious when they heard Nanny Zhao would be earning one hundred thousand.

"Nanny Zhao is so lucky. To think she'd get a salary of a hundred thousand right after arriving."

"She has connections. She's one of Young Master Lin's people, so how could it be the same?"

These servants felt only envy toward Nanny Zhao, without any resentment or sense of unfairness.

Even if Nanny Zhao wasn't there, such an easy and high-paying job wouldn't have fallen to them anyway.

Besides, Nanny Zhao had built such a bond with Young Master Lin back at the Lin family; she deserved it.

If they had been servants in the Lin household and saw the masters and other servants bullying Young Master Lin, they probably would have joined in.

If they had then come to Night Garden and Young Master Lin discovered they were people who had bullied him, they would only face dismissal, let alone a promotion and raise.

"No matter what, we have to stay on Nanny Zhao's good side from now on. We absolutely can't afford to offend her," the servants whispered among themselves.

"Exactly. She has Young Master Lin backing her. If we offend her and Young Master Lin finds out, we'll be in serious trouble."

Early the next morning.

Chen Mo arrived at a spot not far from the entrance of Shangqing University.

He used to follow Lin Jingyue secretly, so he knew she would get out of her car here in the mornings.

It was still early, so there weren't many students around yet.

A familiar car came into Chen Mo's view.

Watching the beautiful figure step out of the car, Chen Mo clenched his fists.

"Yueyue, don't let me down," Chen Mo muttered to himself.

As soon as the driver drove away, Chen Mo walked over and blocked Lin Jingyue's path.

"Move," Lin Jingyue said with a frown.
