It was a stocky middle-aged couple.

“Huh? Are you talking to me?” Chu Ning couldn’t tell if the middle-aged couple was calling out to her.

“Young lady, what are you still standing there for? Come here quickly. This way; you’re going the wrong way!” The middle-aged woman waved at her, indicating for Chu Ning to hurry over.

In order to understand the situation, Chu Ning could only walk over in confusion.

“You’re the little girl from the countryside that Mrs. Wang told me about, right? Don’t be shy. Mrs. Wang told me that her niece’s personality is a little introverted and shy and you might not be used to it at first, but it’s okay. It’ll be fine after a while. We won’t deliberately make things difficult for you.”

The middle-aged woman directly took Chu Ning’s arm and held it warmly. The man at the side was obviously the middle-aged woman’s husband. He looked at Chu Ning and nodded with a smile.

“Could it be that the address is wrong? But the title deed clearly states that it isn’t this house? And what about Mrs. Wang? How did I become her niece? What introverted personality? What do you mean not used to it? What are you talking about?”

Chu Ning was completely flummoxed. She looked at the amiable middle-aged couple in front of her and was a little uncertain..

“Come in with me quickly. Let’s talk inside.” Without waiting for Chu Ning to agree, she pulled Chu Ning into her home.

As soon as she entered, Chu Ning saw the fruits and brewed tea sitting on the coffee table, as though they had been awaiting her arrival.

“Come, have a seat. The fruits on the table have been washed. You can take and eat them. I heard from Mrs. Wang that you didn’t like to talk since you were young, but you are very diligent and hygienic. The only flaw is that you couldn’t continue to study well. However, when you had time at Mrs. Wang’s house, she would agree to let you read and study when you wanted to.”

The woman said enthusiastically, as if she really thought of Chu Ning as the niece that Mrs. Wang had mentioned.

“Uh… May I ask how I should address you and your husband?” Chu Ning could tell that the other party did not have any ill intentions, so she was not anxious. She had plenty of opportunities to explain, but she had to know the other party’s name first…

“Young lady, you can just call me Auntie Liu. You can call him Uncle Chen. There’s no need to be too formal. Before Mrs. Wang left, she told me that this niece of hers had a delicate and pretty appearance. Now it seems that she was putting it mildly. Young lady, you’re really beautiful and tall. You’re about the same age as our Chen Chen.”

The woman introduced herself as she looked Chu Ning from head to toe.

“… Auntie, thank you for the compliment. I already understand the situation. You must be…” before Chu Ning could finish her sentence, the woman mercilessly interrupted her again.

“Young lady, since you’re already here, it means that you’ve already thought it through. Actually, strictly speaking, the job of a nanny is still secondary. The main thing is to speak more with our Xiao Chen. Sigh, you don’t know. This child has never liked to talk since he was young and has always been sullen. It’s useless to take him to the hospital to see a doctor. I think there are some things that he might not be willing to let us know. You’re of the same age. Perhaps he would be more willing to communicate with you.”

At this point, the woman sighed.

“Chen Chen?” a blurry face instantly came to Chu Ning’s mind, but she was not sure if it was him.

“Auntie, does your child go to Jingyuan High School?” Chu Ning asked tentatively.

“Yes! Young lady, it seems that you have done your homework before coming here, or did Mrs. Wang tell you? Jingyuan High School is already one of the best high schools here. Our Xiao Chen is studying there. He’s already in his second year of high school this year!” the woman said arrogantly.

Chu Ning was initially a little certain, but when she heard the woman’s confident description, she was a little puzzled.

The Chen Chen that she remembered and the Chen Chen that the woman described were probably not the same person.

“Isn’t that guy usually very lively in class? And he is not introverted at all…” Chu Ning thought to herself, at a loss for words.

She had a slight impression of Chen Chen, because this guy was in the same class as her!
