Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 673: The New Nanny Arrives at Home

The next morning, when Xu Xiangbei got up and went to the hall, he found Xu Wanqing with big dark circles under her eyes. Even though she had put on makeup, her excellent skin made it quite noticeable.

After having breakfast at Qian Duoduo’s house, they chatted with Elder Qian for a while and then took their leave. Before they left, Qian Wantong reminded him to seriously consider the matter discussed yesterday.

As soon as they stepped out the door, Xu Wanqing was prepared to go her own way, but Xu Xiangbei insisted on taking her back, though she strongly refused. Xu Wanqing seemed reluctant to say another word to Xu Xiangbei, her face was flushed red, and she left in a hurry, as if fleeing.

Xu Xiangbei did not push her further and watched as her beautiful silhouette gradually disappeared. Suddenly, he realized he had nothing planned that day and felt a lot more relaxed. So what should he do? He realized he hadn’t seen the Gu Family Sisters for a while, and nostalgic longing welled up in him.

Without saying another word, he drove toward Spring Villa. Just halfway there, he remembered something, turned the car around swiftly like lightning, and headed toward a secluded community.

Xu Xiangbei followed his previous memory to Xiao Qiulian’s house. It was still early in the day, and today happened to be a Saturday. Xiao Ailing was resting at home, not attending school, planning to help her mother make things to sell for extra income.

The mother and daughter were having a simple breakfast of porridge and a few steamed buns, showing how frugal and challenging their life was.

When Xiao Qiulian saw Xu Xiangbei, her face lit up with a friendly smile, and she eagerly greeted him. In contrast, Xiao Ailing kept her small face serious, puffed up with frustration, looking just like a porcelain doll.

After some small talk, Xu Xiangbei directly explained his purpose. Since Lu Xiaohua had grown fond of a turkey and ostensibly requested time off to visit family but was actually going on a date,

there was no one at home to look after Gu Xinyan, whose leg was not fully recovered yet. In Jiangcheng, it was manageable, thanks to the Gu Family’s old caretaker, Sister Wang, but she was too occupied caring for Old Master Gu to spare time for Spring Villa. Besides, in a while, Xu Xiangbei would have to return to Earth Sea City, so what then?

Hence, they could only hire Xiao Qiulian, a matter previously agreed upon. He happened to have time today and felt heartbroken over their poor living conditions, so he planned to have them move into Spring Villa together. Once things in Jiangcheng were settled, he would move them to Earth Sea City as well.

Initially, Xiao Ailing showed a look of disdain, unwilling, implying: Xu Xiangbei, you must have ulterior motives or schemes.

Ultimately, Xu Xiangbei had no choice but to bring up Gu Xinyan, explaining that her body needed convenient care, and if they got along well, it would pave the way for Xiao Ailing’s future in the entertainment industry.

Finally, they set three rules with Xiao Ailing, and she agreed.

Xiao Qiulian initially wanted to pack up, but seeing how the house was so run-down, Xu Xiangbei waved his hand, telling them to discard everything, saying he would buy them new items.

"How can I accept this? How can I squander Mr. Xu’s money?" Xiao Qiulian tried to decline with evident reluctance.

There was no way around it, so Xu Xiangbei said he’d deduct it from her future nanny salary, and she reluctantly agreed. Xu Xiangbei then took the mother and daughter, packed a few clothes, and a small suitcase, and headed for Spring Villa.

Xu Xiangbei drove at a speed of at least 120 km/h, flying toward Spring Villa.

After roughly half an hour, they arrived at the destination. Looking at the tranquil and spacious villa before them, Xiao Ailing felt a wave of envy and delight. This would be their temporary home.

Upon entering the villa, they found Gu Xinyan rehearsing her lines. It was for her new movie, "Immortal Spirit Record," for which the opening ceremony had been held a week ago.

There had been an incident at the opening ceremony when her aunt revealed Gu Xinyan’s background, infuriating Xu Xiangbei enough to seek them out for accountability, which had brought him back to Jiangcheng.

"Finally know to come back, huh? You leave and disappear completely, why haven’t you been home these days?" At this moment, Gu Xinyan sounded like a complaining wife, filled with grievances as if she were blaming a newlywed husband for being away too long from home.

Sitting in a wheelchair, she wore a white lace dress with a bow tied at the back. Her face showed a bright smile, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

"Didn’t I come back now? Is it truly that absence makes the heart grow fonder, so you’ve missed me, becoming more and more like my wife!" Xu Xiangbei, also missing her, wanted to hug her upon arrival, only to be stopped by her cold stare.

"You’re always acting out; hey, who’s that behind you?" Although Gu Xinyan was scolding him, her face carried a very genuine smile.

"Let me introduce you. This is Xiao Qiulian, the new nanny I’ve hired for you. Behind her is Xiao Ailing, currently a senior high school student, and Xiao Qiulian’s daughter. They’ll be living here for a while, and when we return to Earth Sea City, they’ll move back with us!" Xu Xiangbei introduced with a smile.

"Hello! I’m Gu Xinyan, currently an actress." Gu Xinyan seemed to want to say more but held back because of the new guests, simply introducing herself with a smile.

"Hello, Sister Gu, I’m Xiao Ailing. I’ve watched your movies before; I’m one of your small fans!" Xiao Ailing’s face turned red, acting like a fan meeting a star for the first time, a bit flustered. Her eyes twinkled as she stared directly at Gu Xinyan’s face, looking quite cute.

"Hello, Miss Gu. I’m Ailing’s mother, Xiao Qiulian. I’ll be your caretaker from now on. You really are so beautiful!" Xiao Qiulian’s words contained some humility and flattery, but mostly they were truthful.

Previously, she had heard from Xu Xiangbei about how beautiful his wife was, but hadn’t believed it. Her daughter was already a super beauty, and now she saw it was true. Gu Xinyan was probably the prettiest woman she had ever seen. Though her daughter was also beautiful, in some ways, she was still slightly lacking, perhaps not as mature.

"Oh, not at all, from now on we’re like a family, supporting and understanding each other!" Gu Xinyan looked at them happily, equally delighted by the pretty young girl. Given some time, she’d surely grow into a captivating beauty.

Within two minutes, Xiao Ailing and Gu Xinyan were chatting like close sisters, getting to know each other quickly.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiangbei was showing Xiao Qiulian around the various rooms in Spring Villa and arranged for her stay.

"Look at that, with a little beauty around, she forgot all about her future husband!" Xu Xiangbei looked at the two who were engrossed in their conversation, leaving him aside, filled with mock resentment.

"Go on, you big rogue. Oh, Ailing, you be careful not to be led astray by him; you’re still young!" Gu Xinyan seemed much happier today, her heart knot untangled, opening up a bit more.

"She’s still a minor, just a little girl; am I that kind of person?" Xu Xiangbei touched his nose with a helpless expression, as if he had suffered some great injustice.

Xiao Ailing blushed and said nothing. Although confident about her looks, she quickly realized the relationship between Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xinyan wasn’t simple, likely that of a couple. Hearing their words led her to believe they might be engaged. With Gu Xinyan being so beautiful, she thought he wouldn’t be interested in someone as youthful as her.

"Xiao Ai, I have a card here, take it and go shopping with your mother. Buy some clothes you like, don’t short-change yourself. Buy whatever you want to eat, get whatever you like, spend as you wish, don’t worry!" Xu Xiangbei said, handing a card to Xiao Ailing.

She looked it over and hesitated, then refrained from taking it immediately.

"Ailing, it’s no problem, just take it. Xu Xiangbei has more money than he can spend. Buy whatever you fancy!" Gu Xinyan also liked this little sister very much, noticing her simple clothes, realizing she hadn’t lived well before.

"How much did you give her? You’re not being stingy, are you?" She turned and looked intently at Xu Xiangbei.

"Not much, just a million!" Xu Xiangbei suddenly felt bringing back a young girl might have been a wrong decision.

"Now that’s about right!" Gu Xinyan responded as if it were only proper.

"No, Sister Xin Yan, it’s too much!" Xiao Ailing was initially inclined to accept, but hearing how much money was inside, she was overwhelmed and dared not take it.

Gu Xinyan took the card and pressed it into Xiao Ailing’s hand with some advice. After several back-and-forths, the card was finally accepted.
