The car slowly drove into the community. When Yu Shanhe got out of the car with his daughter in his arms, he happened to meet Yu Sheng, who had just returned home, at the door.
"Dad, you're back." Yu Sheng greeted respectfully. His face was very calm. He just glanced at Niannian briefly.
His daughter had almost gone missing just now. When he left home, he had repeatedly told this second son to take good care of his younger sister. But as a result, his own younger sister had gone missing, and there was not a trace of anxiety on his son's face.
This made Yu Shanhe extremely angry.
He snorted coldly, ignored Yu Sheng, and directly carried his soft and fragrant daughter into the house.
As soon as he entered the house, Yu Shanhe was stunned.
The nanny who walked out of the kitchen was also stunned when she saw Yu Shanhe.
The plate in her hand slipped out of her grasp due to excessive shock and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
This time it was really an accident.
Yu Shanhe glanced at the contents of the plate, and the anger in his heart flared up uncontrollably.
Caviar, abalone, matsutake mushrooms, imported bread, ham...
The plate was filled with all kinds of high - end ingredients.
He recalled the phone call from Taoist Priest Qingyun.
"Your daughter is so hungry that she's begging on the street..."
Then he thought of the way Niannian gobbled up the food in the car.
He felt heart - broken.
"Why didn't you answer my call? What's going on with these things?"
No matter how angry he was, Yu Shanhe still had basic courtesy. He suppressed the urge to shout and questioned the nanny sternly.
During this period, Yu Shanhe had been busy with company affairs. He was either on business trips or leaving home early and returning late. He never came home before lunch.
This was why the nanny dared to bully Niannian so boldly.
When she saw the little girl walking out, she didn't take it seriously.
She was just a five - year - old girl. Besides, she hadn't eaten and didn't have much strength. How far could she run?
She probably couldn't even get out of the community.
So she just watched coldly as the little girl left the house without saying a word.
But she never expected that Niannian would be carried back by Yu Shanhe.
Seeing Yu Shanhe's extremely dark face, she immediately sensed that something was wrong and quickly apologized.
"I'm sorry, sir. After I served the young miss and young master for breakfast, I went to prepare my own. I saw that these things in the fridge were about to expire. I was afraid they would make the young master and young miss sick if they ate them, and it would be a waste to throw them away, so I took them out for myself. I left my phone on the coffee table by the way and didn't hear your call in the kitchen."
The nanny thought her explanation was perfect.
The employer never said that she had to keep her phone with her all the time when hiring her. An occasional oversight in answering the phone should be understandable.
As for the food on the ground.
She had thrown the packaging bags and boxes into the trash can. The young master, young miss, and the boss of this wealthy family would never condescend to rummage through the trash can.
If she said they were expired, then they were expired.
"Do you know why Niannian was outside?" Yu Shanhe squinted and continued to ask.
Although he had not been involved in the company's affairs for a long time, Yu's Enterprise was founded by him.
Starting from scratch and being in the business world for so many years, he was very good at reading people's expressions.
The nanny was saying sorry, but her eyes were full of guilt and her expression showed no sign of apology.
How could he believe her?
This nanny definitely couldn't stay. She had to be fired today.
"I... I don't know either. After the young miss finished her breakfast, I went to clear the table and the plates. I didn't pay much attention."
The nanny was shifting the blame onto Niannian.
She was implying that Niannian was disobedient and went out to play on a full stomach. She had other work to do and couldn't keep an eye on the naughty Niannian.
"Oh? You said my daughter went out by herself after breakfast? How come I heard that she was so hungry that she had no choice but to go out and ask others for help?!"
Yu Shanhe raised his voice. When he went to pick up Niannian just now, he didn't forget to ask the old man what the situation was when he first met Niannian.
The old man said that Niannian's stomach growled with hunger after just a few words.
She basically gobbled up a bag of bread and a bag of milk in a few mouthfuls, looking like she had been hungry for a long time.
If his daughter had really had breakfast and the nanny had taken good care of her, how could Niannian have ended up like this?
"That's impossible. The young miss took a few bites in the morning and said the breakfast didn't taste good. I coaxed her for a long time before she ate it."
The nanny told lies without batting an eyelid.
Yu Shanhe didn't want to listen to her nonsense. He looked down at the confused little girl in his arms and asked, "Sweetie, why did you go out? And why didn't you have breakfast?"
"Ah? The auntie dropped the plate. She said the meals at home were fixed, and since my portion fell on the ground, there was none left for me. Niannian was so hungry. But it's okay. Niannian is a big girl now and can fend for herself, so I went out hunting."
Niannian replied with a smiling face, looking proud as if she was saying: Am I great? Come and praise me!
She showed no sign of anger after being wronged.
Yu Shanhe thought his daughter was really broad - minded. She could still smile even when being bullied by a nanny.
At the same time, he felt that his daughter was kind - hearted and magnanimous. Even when being wronged, she was calm and didn't have negative emotions.
"Yeah, Niannian is really great."
Yu Shanhe praised his daughter following her words, and in return, he got an even bigger smile from Niannian.
Her carefree look made him both angry and amused.
He thought that he must spoil his daughter more in the future and hopefully raise a bit of a temper in her, otherwise, she would be bullied wherever she went.
In fact, Yu Shanhe was overthinking.
Did the little girl have no temper?
No, she just didn't know that the "young miss" the nanny was talking about was herself.
Because what the nanny said had nothing to do with what happened to her this morning.
It wasn't even a matter of adding embellishments or distorting the facts. It was just pure fabrication.
Since the nanny didn't name names, Niannian automatically assumed that the "young miss" in the nanny's words was someone else.
If the nanny had dared to name her even once.
The little girl would have retorted and made the nanny look for her teeth all over the place.
At this moment, Niannian, who hadn't shown her sharp claws yet, seemed to her father like a soft and harmless little white rabbit.
He hugged his daughter even tighter, stared coldly at the nanny, and said in a cold voice, "Pack your things and get out of my house right now. I'll transfer your salary for this month, but from today on, don't let me see you again."
