After I died, they cried in the live studio

Sang Jiuyue looked submissive and obedient on the surface, and kept agreeing with him, but in his heart he was like an ant on a hot pot, frantically calculating his own plan. He thought to himself that he had to speed up his actions and arrange everything properly before the chairman noticed any clues. However, in the chairman's seemingly calm eyes, a trace of imperceptible worry flashed quietly, as if he was not completely relieved by Sang Jiuyue's words, and a vague uneasiness spread in his heart.

In the early morning, the gray and heavy clouds covered the sky like a dull curtain, but the sunlight squeezed out from the gaps, stubbornly casting a hazy warm light, covering the city with a dreamy veil. In the old house of the Sang family, Sang Jiuyue dressed up carefully in front of the mottled mirror in a cramped and dim room. He wore a dark gray suit that was repeatedly ironed, and meticulously smoothed the wrinkles to strive for perfection. The hairspray fixed his hair layer by layer, making it stand upright and shiny, but the tension and anxiety hidden in his eyes could not be concealed.

He looked at his watch and saw that the hour hand was approaching the appointed time. He hurriedly took out his cell phone and called his female assistant. "Hello, how is it with Nancy? Do she and Yi Shuqi suspect you?" He lowered his voice very low, revealing an unquestionable urgency. On the other end of the phone, the female assistant was in a dimly lit corner. She glanced at Nancy and Yi Shuqi who were talking not far away, and responded softly: "Mr. Sang, everything is normal, they are not suspicious. I am keeping a close eye on them and will report any movement immediately." Sang Jiuyue's brows relaxed slightly, and he said slowly: "Very good, keep paying attention, and don't let anything go wrong. Nancy is smart, and Yi Shuqi is not simple either. Don't miss any details. If they go to see a lawyer, contact other family forces, or frequently discuss company secrets, tell me immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Sang Jiuyue took a deep breath and went to Chairman Sang's residence. Chairman Sang was wearing a dark blue Chinese robe. Although the years had passed, the robe was still neat, with exquisite buttons and delicate textures, telling of past glory. He looked solemn, with both the expectation of family revival and the hidden worries about unknown cooperation in his eyes.

"Father, the car is ready. Don't keep Mr. Chen waiting too long." Sang Jiuyue forced a warm smile, but her voice trembled slightly with nervousness. Chairman Sang nodded slightly, his steps steady yet hesitant. Before leaving, he gazed at the carved gate of the old house for a long time, as if drawing strength from this mansion, the cradle of his family's rise and fall, to face the storms ahead.

Inside the car, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating. Sang Jiuyue was restless, tapping his fingers irregularly on his knees, and looking at the car clock frequently, as if every tick of the pointer was urging him mercilessly. Chairman Sang stared out the window quietly, the tall buildings and hurried pedestrians on the street passed by like phantoms, but his thoughts drifted far away, immersed in the thoughts of the future fate of his family.

Finally, the car stopped in front of the most luxurious hotel in the city. The building was soaring into the sky and magnificent. The sun shone on the glass curtain wall, reflecting a dazzling light. The fountain at the door danced wantonly, and the crystal water splashed in the light and shadow.

As they entered the hotel lobby, the dazzling crystal chandeliers cast a dazzling light, and the marble floor was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the slightly cramped figures of the two people. Sang Jiuyue led Chairman Sang to the private room in a hurry, and his heartbeat became more and more intense, as if it was about to burst through his chest.

In the side room of the private room, several burly men with thick faces were waiting impatiently. One of them, with a green dragon tattooed on his neck, muttered, "Why are we pretending to be polite here? It's so frustrating." Another bald man echoed, "That's right, when have we ever been so humiliated before?"

At this moment, the gangster boss walked in with a gloomy face, and admonished in a low but majestic voice: "Listen to me, all of you, put away your ferocious looks. If Chairman Sang sees through your identities and this cooperation is ruined, I will skin you alive! Don't ruin my plan. All of you pretend to be gentle business people, speak softly, behave properly, and don't let people see any flaws. Cheer up, if this deal is done, you will definitely get some benefits." Although the men were reluctant, they could only nod in response under the threat of the gangster boss. They restrained their usual fierceness and tried to act gentle and refined.

Pushing open the door, the private room was filled with elegant sandalwood. The gangster dressed as "Mr. Chen" sat on a carved mahogany chair, wearing a custom-made top-grade suit that highlighted his sturdy figure. The eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were deliberately disguised as gentle, and the exquisite tea sets and fresh fruits on the table added a touch of false ease to the serious atmosphere of the negotiation.

"Chairman Sang, I've long heard of you. Meeting you today is truly a privilege!" The gangster, beaming, strode forward, extending his broad hand. A slight sweat on his palm as they shook hands betrayed his inner nervousness. But behind the warm smile, his eyes shone with innate arrogance.

The three of them sat down one after another. The waiter served the tea and snacks quietly and then left. The black boss picked up the teacup, took a sip to moisten his throat, and then his expression became serious and he got to the point.

"Chairman Sang, let's be frank." The black boss leaned forward, crossed his strong arms on the table, his eyes firm, "This cooperation agreement in my hand can definitely bring the Sang family back to its peak. However, to achieve this goal, you have to follow my conditions." After saying that, he picked up the carefully prepared agreement, waved it in the air, and the paper made a crisp sound.

"You see, I want 6% of the shares of the Sang family's industry. I invested real money and took huge risks, and most of the investment will eventually come back to me. This is the guarantee I deserve. Moreover, the future heir of the Sang family must be Sang Jiuyue. In my opinion, he is a well-deserved pillar of the Sang family, and I trust him." The gangster boss talked eloquently, with a seemingly appreciative smile on his lips, and his eyes quickly met with Sang Jiuyue's. In an instant, a hint of cunning and greed flashed in the eyes of the two.

Chairman Sang's brow furrowed. After listening, he remained silent for a moment, then slowly lifted his teacup and took a sip. The scalding tea slid down his throat, but it failed to dispel his worries. "Mr. Chen, regarding the first point, I truly find it difficult to agree. 6% of the shares is far too high. The Sang family has built its current fortune through the hard work of generations. Such a large-scale share transfer affects the vital interests of so many family members. I must be extremely cautious. The longtime shareholders have poured their entire lives into the Sang family business. Selling such a large stake would be difficult for them to accept, and it could even trigger internal unrest."

A trace of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the gangster, but years of experience in the underworld made him restrain his emotions instantly. He put on a smile, leaned back, crossed his arms, and tried to resolve the deadlock in a relaxed manner. "Chairman Sang, please think about it carefully. The amount of my investment is huge, and the risks are even more difficult to estimate. Without sufficient equity protection, I really can't feel at ease. I really want to help the Sang family rise, otherwise I wouldn't have spent so much effort to promote this cooperation. The projects I plan to invest in all have bright prospects. Take the emerging technology sector that I plan to inject funds into, for example, to develop a core software system for the construction of future smart cities. Once successfully developed and put on the market, with its efficient data processing capabilities and strong compatibility, it can quickly occupy most of the market share in related fields and bring a steady stream of huge profits to the Sang family. But behind this, it requires continuous investment of a large amount of funds in technology research and development, talent recruitment and market promotion. Without sufficient interest protection, I really dare not get involved easily."

Chairman Sang shook his head slightly, the wrinkles on his face became deeper, and his expression was solemn as if he was carrying a heavy burden. "Mr. Chen, I understand that you need reasonable protection, but 6% of the shares is really beyond my bottom line. Although the Sang family is in trouble now, the foundation is still there, and every link of the family industry is related to the livelihoods of countless people. The transfer of such a high proportion of shares will not only be difficult for family members to accept, but may also cause unpredictable impacts on the future stable development of the company. Once you control 6% of the shares, you will have absolute say in the company's decision-making. If the subsequent decisions are contrary to the Sang family's long-term development concept, the efforts of several generations of the Sang family may be wasted."

At this time, Sang Jiuyue saw that the atmosphere was in a stalemate, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and he quickly interrupted. "Father, Mr. Chen really wants to cooperate with us. He has extensive connections in the business world and abundant resources. With his help, our Sang family will be able to revive quickly. Mr. Chen must have weighed the issue of shares repeatedly, so you can consider it again. Mr. Chen's connections can help us open up many key channels. Take expanding overseas markets as an example. He has dealings with business giants in many countries, which can help our products quickly enter the international market and open up new profit margins." As he said this, he looked eagerly at the gangster, and the two exchanged a suggestive look again.

Chairman Sang turned to look at Sang Jiyue, his eyes filled with reproach and disappointment. "Jiyue, I know you are doing this for the good of the family, but this matter concerns the survival of the family, and you must not make a hasty decision based on impulse. The future of the family cannot afford any mistakes. The company's current structure and operating model are based on the existing equity structure and the division of labor and cooperation among family members. Such a sudden and drastic change in equity will break the original balance and trigger a series of chain reactions."

Seeing Chairman Sang's firm attitude, the gangster fell into deep thought for a moment. The air in the private room seemed to freeze, and it was so depressing that it was suffocating. After a moment, he slowly spoke, slowing down his tone, trying to find a new breakthrough. "Chairman Sang, I think this will work. Let's not get hung up on the absolute number of 6%. I can lower the requirements appropriately, but correspondingly, my participation in the future decision-making of the Sang family must be guaranteed. After all, I have invested so much money, so I must have a certain say. I can reduce the share ratio to 5%, but I must have a veto over major decisions of the company, such as investment in large projects and appointment and removal of core management."

Chairman Sang stared intently at Hei Lao, as if trying to see through his disguise and grasp his true inner thoughts. "Mr. Chen, your proposal makes sense. However, the specific shareholding ratio and decision-making participation will require thorough consultation with core family members before I can decide. This is not something I can decide on my own. At the family meeting, everyone will consider various angles, including the company's financial situation, future strategic plans, and the impact on the family's reputation."

The black boss nodded slightly, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and quickly thought about his next move. After a while, he said, "Chairman Sang, I understand your difficulties. I'll give you three days to consider it. But I hope we can reach an agreement as soon as possible. Business opportunities are fleeting, and the Sang family can't afford to waste them. The business world is like a battlefield; once an opportunity is missed, it can be lost forever. The sooner we reach a cooperation agreement, the sooner we can establish a market presence and seize the initiative."

Chairman Sang nodded slightly, his expression still solemn. "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your understanding. However, I agree that Ji Yue is the heir. This child has never left the Sang family since they fell into poverty, and has devoted himself to family affairs. His ability and responsibility are obvious to all. I am relieved that he will inherit the Sang family. Over the years, no matter what difficulties he faced, he never backed down. He ran around for the family, contacted various resources, and put in a lot of effort."

Hearing this, the black boss smiled with satisfaction, and his tense shoulders relaxed. "Chairman Sang is indeed wise. With a talent like Sang Jiuyue taking over, and with my resource support, the Sang family will soon return to its peak. I believe that with our joint efforts, the Sang family will not only be able to restore its former glory, but also move to a higher level."

Chairman Sang sighed slightly, his eyes full of fatigue and expectation. "I hope so. Ji Yue has been dealing with you for so long and trusts you very much. He strongly recommends this cooperation. I think he is also thinking about the future of the Sang family. I will give you an answer in three days."

The black boss extended his hand and shook hands with Chairman Sang again, his palm was broad and strong. "I look forward to talking with you again, and I hope we can work together to create a win-win situation."

After the meeting, Sang Jiuyue and the chairman left the hotel. On the way back, there was a dead silence in the car. Chairman Sang closed his eyes and rested, his brows still furrowed, as if he was repeatedly deducing the future direction of the family in his mind. Sang Jiuyue looked at the street scene passing by quickly outside the window, with mixed feelings in his heart, both secretly excited about the power and wealth that was about to be obtained, and vaguely uneasy about the unknown variables. He knew very well that this gamble with the fate of the family as a bet had just begun.

In the afternoon, the sun lazily poured down, casting a warm veil over the entire city. Nancy stood at the door of her house, raising her hand to block the glaring light, her eyes full of expectation. She quickly took out her cell phone from her small bag, slid her fingers across the screen skillfully, and quickly dialed Sang Shuwan's number.

As soon as the call was connected, Nancy couldn't wait to say, "Shuwan! It's been a long time since we last talked. I've been missing our old days like crazy lately. The sun is shining brightly today, let's get together!"

Sang Shuwan was stunned for a moment, then shouted excitedly, "Nancy! I miss you so much, and I was just worried that no one would accompany me, and then you called. Come on, tell me, where are we going?"

Nancy blinked, a familiar scene emerged in her mind, and she suggested with a smile: "Let's go to the dessert shop near the university. Remember? We spent a lot of happy times there before."

Sang Shuwan clapped her hands excitedly on the other end of the phone: "Of course I remember! His signature thousand-layer cake, every bite is sweet to the heart. I will dress up now and make sure I see you in the most beautiful posture!"

After hanging up the phone, Nancy was in an exceptionally cheerful mood, even her steps became more cheerful. She hummed a little tune and walked towards the agreed dessert shop, looking forward to meeting Sang Shuwan again.

In the afternoon, the sun penetrates the thin clouds, weaving a layer of dazzling golden gauze over the city. The streets are busy with cars and pedestrians, and the shops on the street are lined up one after another, with a dazzling array of goods in the windows. The breeze blows, the branches on the roadside sway gently, the leaves rustle, and mixed with the hustle and bustle of the city, playing a unique movement.

Nancy stood in the luxurious and spacious entrance of her home, adjusting her clothes in front of a huge floor-length mirror. She was wearing a fitted royal blue silk dress that perfectly outlined her slender waist and graceful curves, and her skirt swayed, showing her elegance. The delicate embroidery on the skirt shimmered in the sun. Her long chestnut hair fell naturally on her fair shoulders, and a few strands of hair were playfully placed on her smooth forehead. Her eyes were like a deep pool, revealing coldness and wisdom, and under her high nose bridge were a pair of beautiful lips without any makeup.

She glanced at the limited-edition, exquisite watch on her wrist and murmured softly, "It's almost time." Her voice was clear and melodious, like the sound of a mountain spring. Then, she picked up her exquisite handbag and, with graceful steps, like a noble swan, she walked out of the house. Her high heels tapped the floor, making a crisp, rhythmic sound until they gradually disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

As soon as Nancy left, the female assistant who had been hiding in the shadows suddenly jumped out. The female assistant was petite and slightly frail, with neat short hair and a shrewd and cunning look in her eyes. She was wearing a tight black work suit and moved as nimbly as a cat.

The female assistant first paced carefully in the living room, her eyes not missing any corner, and muttered softly: "Where is that thing hidden?" After that, she rushed straight to the study.

The door of the study was roughly pushed open by her, making a loud "bang". The female assistant rushed to the huge bookshelf against the wall, and her hands were rummaging through the bookshelf like the wind. She pulled out the books one by one and smashed them heavily to the ground. "Damn it, where is it!" She cursed in a low voice while searching frantically.

After a lot of trouble, the study was in a mess, but there was no trace of what she was looking for. The female assistant was extremely anxious, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She didn't even bother to wipe it off, but quickly took out her cell phone and called Sang Jiuyue.

The moment the call was connected, the female assistant said very quickly: "Ms. Sang, I have searched everywhere I could, but found nothing!" Her voice trembled slightly with nervousness and anxiety.

Sang Jiuyue obviously didn't expect this to happen. Her voice instantly turned cold, revealing majesty and anger: "How do you do things? I'll give you another half an hour. If you still can't find it, you know the consequences!" Sang Jiuyue's voice was sharp and piercing, like a sharp blade cutting through the air.

The female assistant's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and she quickly said: "Ms. Sang, I will find it! Please give me another chance!" After hanging up the phone, the female assistant took a deep breath and encouraged herself in her heart: "I must find it, otherwise it's over." Then, she continued to search the room like crazy.

At that moment, across town, at an open-air tea restaurant, the surroundings were filled with colorful flowers, their fragrance wafting through the air. Soft music drifted through the air like the gurgling of water. Nancy sat comfortably on a balcony chair, the sun gently streaming down her body. On the table before her sat a steaming cup of coffee, its aroma wafting upwards. Her slender fingers gently grasped her phone, the screen displaying the surveillance footage from her home.

Watching the assistant frantically searching in the room, Nancy's lips curled up into a mocking smile, her eyes full of disdain and complacency. She took a sip of coffee and thought to herself, "You guys think you can fight me? You're far from being good at this game." Nancy watched the surveillance video quietly, as if she was enjoying a well-choreographed farce, patiently waiting for the opportunity to make the next plan.

In a corner of the city, there is a tea restaurant called "Quiet Corner", which is like a quiet paradise in the hustle and bustle. When you step into it, an exquisite rockery fountain first comes into view. The gurgling water meanders down along the rugged rocks and falls into the koi pond below, splashing layers of crystal water. In the pond, colorful koi leisurely shuttle among the green lotus leaves, occasionally jumping out of the water, causing ripples.

Inside the restaurant, warm yellow light streamed through vintage glass lampshades, casting warm halos across the wooden floor. The walls were covered with ink paintings of profound artistic conception, adding a touch of elegance to the space. Nancy and Sang Shuwan sat opposite each other by the window. An exquisite bone china tea set sat on the table. A clear glass pot of rose and jasmine tea exuded a rich aroma, its pale pink liquid shimmering captivatingly under the light. An exquisite three-tiered pastry stand held macarons, petit fours, and sandwiches, each a work of art.

Nancy was wearing a lavender chiffon dress, the hem of which was as light and flowing as a petal. She raised her hand and took a sip of tea, then put down the cup with a leisurely look on her face. She said to Sang Shuwan, "Shuwan, to be honest with you, I noticed it the day Sang Jiyue sent her people to target me."

Sang Shuwan had just picked up a strawberry macaron, but when she heard this, her movements suddenly froze, her eyes widened in surprise, her mouth slightly opened, and she almost dropped the macaron in her hand: "What? You knew so early? But you remained silent the whole time, and I didn't notice anything wrong! This is beyond my expectation. During all the time I've been with you, I didn't notice anything unusual at all."

Nancy had a mysterious smile on her lips, and she tapped the table with her index finger: "I just want to pretend that I know nothing. I just want to see what Sang Jiuyue is up to and what tricks she can come up with." As she spoke, her eyes were full of teasing, and her body leaned forward slightly, describing with interest, "You really should have seen it. Her female assistant rummaged through my house like a madman, and was so anxious, but couldn't find anything. She threw the books in my study all over the floor, and pulled out the drawers one by one to rummage around. She was so flustered, like a headless fly."

Sang Shuwan couldn't help laughing out loud, shaking her head as she laughed, her long black hair swaying gently: "Only you can be so patient. If it were me, I would have kicked that female assistant out long ago. Maybe I would even rush directly to Sang Jiuyue and ask her what she wants to do."

Nancy leaned forward, her eyes sharp and shrewd, "It's too boring to attack directly. It's more interesting to watch them busy in the dark and see Sang Jiuyue's plan fall through step by step. She thought she could plot against me, but in fact I could see her every move clearly. From her sending people to follow me to her planning to find something, I knew everything."

Sang Shuwan's face was filled with worry. He leaned forward and unconsciously clenched his handkerchief. "So what are you going to do next? Sang Jiuyue will definitely not give up. From what I know about her, she will definitely come up with other crooked ideas to deal with you."

Nancy leaned back in her chair, brimming with confidence. A cold glint flashed in her eyes. Her right hand rested lightly on the armrest, her fingers tapping rhythmically. "When she's had enough trouble, I'll naturally take action. When the time comes, I'll settle all the old scores, new and old, and let her know that it's not that easy to mess with me. I already have enough evidence. I've recorded all her little moves. I'm just waiting for the right moment to deal her a fatal blow."

In a corner of the city, the "Quiet Corner" tea restaurant is like a quiet paradise in the hustle and bustle. When you step into it, an exquisite rockery fountain first catches your eye. The gurgling water meanders down along the rugged rocks and falls into the koi pond below, splashing layers of crystal water. In the pond, colorful koi leisurely shuttle among the green lotus leaves, occasionally jumping out of the water, causing ripples. Inside the restaurant, warm yellow lights pour down through the retro glass lampshades, outlining warm halos on the wooden floor. On the wall hang a series of ink paintings with a distant artistic conception, adding a bit of elegance to the entire space.

Nancy and Sang Shuwan sat opposite each other by the window. On the table was a set of exquisite bone china tea sets. In the transparent glass pot, rose and jasmine tea was emitting a rich aroma, and the light pink tea soup was shining charmingly under the light. On the exquisite three-layer dessert stand, macarons, small cakes, sandwiches, etc. were arranged in an orderly manner, and each one was like an exquisite work of art.

Nancy was wearing a lavender chiffon dress, the hem of which was as light and flowing as a petal. She raised her hand to take a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said to Sang Shuwan with a serious look, "Shuwan, we can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to take the initiative. Sang Jiuyue is pressing us step by step, we must think of a comprehensive way to fight back."

Sang Shuwan frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety and thought, and responded eagerly, "That's right, but she's cunning. What should we do? If we're not careful, she might bite us back."

Nancy's lips curled up in a mysterious arc, her eyes gleaming with wisdom. She analyzed slowly, "Sang Jiuyue has gone to great lengths to obtain that so-called important item. She simply wants to use it to control me and use it for her own benefit. We will use her trick against her and catch her in the trap." Nancy stretched out her finger and tapped the table lightly. "I'll spread false news so that she thinks the item is still at my house. Isn't she determined to get it? She will definitely be unable to hold back."

Sang Shuwan's eyes lit up, a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and he excitedly continued: "When the time comes, she will definitely try her best to come to us in person. We will take the opportunity to catch her and make sure she can't make trouble again!"

Nancy nodded slightly, a confident smile appearing on her face: "That's right." In fact, Nancy was also a little uneasy. After all, Sang Jiuyue was no ordinary person. If she made a slight mistake, she would lose everything. But she believed in her control over the situation and her carefully arranged plan.

At the same time, in a luxurious villa not far away, Sang Jiuyue was pacing back and forth in the spacious living room with an angry face. Her eyebrows were twisted into a "川" shape, her eyes were burning with anger, and she cursed the female assistant's incompetence in her heart, and hated Nancy's cunning even more. The female assistant in front of her lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, and she dared not breathe. Sang Jiuyue suddenly stopped, glared at the female assistant fiercely, and gritted her teeth and said, "You are so stupid! You can't even do such a small thing, this time I have to go and find this thing myself!"

With that, Sang Jiuyue decided to meticulously disguise herself as a nanny. She figured if she could get into Nancy's house, she could find the item with her own skills. She donned a simple wig, worn work clothes, and even applied a few fake moles to her face. After her disguise, she had transformed into an unremarkable middle-aged woman. But deep down, she still harbored a lingering fear, fearing this was a trap set by Nancy. However, her intense possessiveness and unwillingness to fail drove her to take the risk.

In the evening, Sang Jiuyue sneaked into the neighborhood where Nancy lived. She took advantage of the security guard's inattention and sneaked into Nancy's home. In the dim room, her eyes flickered and she carefully searched every corner. Every time she moved an item, she was worried about triggering the trap set by Nancy, and her heart beat violently in her chest. All of this was clearly recorded by the camera hidden in the dark.

At this time, Nancy in the tea restaurant received the real-time images from the surveillance. She watched Sang Jiuyue's every move on the screen, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said to Sang Shuwan: "The fish has been hooked." Nancy appeared calm on the surface, but she was actually very excited inside. This contest with Sang Jiuyue finally reached a critical moment. She knew that every step forward was crucial and related to the final victory or defeat.

In the "Jingyu" tea restaurant in a corner of the city, which is like a paradise, the atmosphere is quiet and leisurely, as if isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Nancy and Sang Shuwan sat by the window, their eyes fixed on Nancy's mobile phone screen, which was playing Sang Jiuyue's every move in Nancy's home in real time.

"I never thought she'd actually sneak in disguised as a nanny," Sang Shuwan muttered in astonishment. Her eyes widened as she stared intently at the screen, afraid to miss a single detail.

Nancy's lips curled up into a scornful smile, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she said in a firm tone: "With her temper, she will never give up until she achieves her goal. However, she is going to hit a wall this time." Nancy's fingers tapped lightly on the table, her eyes revealing that she was in complete control of the situation.

At this time, in Nancy's home, Sang Jiyue, disguised as a nanny, was sneaking around the rooms. She wrapped her face tightly with a headscarf, and wore a pair of exaggerated sunglasses and a large mask, covering herself tightly. As soon as she heard the slightest movement, she stopped her movements instantly like a frightened rabbit, her eyes full of vigilance.

The doorbell suddenly rang. Sang Jiuyue's heart skipped a beat and she thought in panic, "Could it be Nancy who is back? I hope the plan has been exposed." She pretended to be calm and slowly moved to the door. She looked through the peephole and found that it was Sang Shuwan standing outside. Sang Jiuyue secretly complained, "Why is she here? Don't recognize me."

Sang Shuwan deliberately raised his voice and said, "Hello, I'm Nancy's friend, I'm here to give her something." Sang Jiuyue hesitated for a long time, but finally opened the door. In order to prevent Sang Shuwan from recognizing her, she lowered her head even more and said in a deliberately hoarse voice, "Put it here, I'll give it to her."

However, Sang Shuwan was not going to let her go easily, and asked with pretended curiosity: "Hey, Auntie, what's wrong with you? You wrapped yourself so tightly, are you cosplaying a mysterious man?" As he said that, he reached out to touch Sang Jiuyue's headscarf.

Sang Jiuyue shrank back in fear, her palms sweating from nervousness, and she stammered, "I...I have an allergic reaction on my face, I can't see anyone."

While Sang Jiyue was in a panic, Nancy rushed out from the next room like a gust of wind, and said with a sweet smile: "Aiya, Auntie, let me see how serious your allergy is." As she said that, she pulled off Sang Jiyue's headscarf and sunglasses. In an instant, Sang Jiyue's face was exposed to everyone.

"Hey, isn't this the beautiful Sang? Why are you playing the role of a nanny? This role-playing is quite novel. Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry and experience the life of the lower class?" Nancy crossed her arms with a playful smile on her lips.

Sang Shuwan also echoed: "That's right, Sang Jiuyue, your hobby is really unique. You gave up your job as a rich girl and came to work as a nanny in someone else's house. What's the matter? Do you feel that your home is too boring and want to find some excitement?"

"You guys..." Sang Jiuyue was furious and annoyed, her face flushed red like a boiled shrimp. She had thought her plan was perfect, but she had become the laughing stock of the two of them.

Nancy took a step forward and gently lifted Sang Jiuyue's chin, her eyes full of amusement: "Why are you silent? Where is your usual majestic demeanor? Are you thinking about how to save this embarrassing situation? Unfortunately, it's too late!"

Sang Shuwan walked around Sang Jiuyue and said as he walked, "I think, Sang Jiuyue, you are just too idle. How about this, when you are bored in the future, come to us and we will teach you what is truly interesting, so that you don't always do these sneaky things."

Sang Jiuyue gritted her teeth, feeling unwilling but helpless. She glared at Nancy fiercely, saying "You are so cruel", and left in disgrace.

Sang Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Nancy, and praised her sincerely: "Thank goodness you arranged everything so carefully. This time, I can finally teach her a lesson."

Nancy smiled slightly, with determination and confidence in her eyes: "She won't give up, but I won't back down either. Next time, I will be able to deal with it as well."

After Sang Jiyue left in disgrace, Nancy and Sang Shuwan smiled at each other, their tense nerves finally relaxing. Nancy called her female assistant and turned on the speakerphone.

As soon as the call was connected, Nancy sighed helplessly, "Thank you for your hard work this time. I wanted to hire a nanny to take care of me and relieve your stress, but I didn't expect that Sang Jiuyue would take the opportunity to sneak in and cause trouble."

The female assistant on the other end of the phone said with a hint of grievance and fear in her voice: "Sister Nancy, it's all my fault for not noticing her. I let her ruin everything and make a mess of the house."

Sang Shuwan interjected, "How can you be blamed for this? Sang Jiuyue is such a cunning woman. Nancy hired a nanny out of kindness to make things easier for you. Who could have expected her to do this?"

Nancy continued, "Next time you look for a babysitter, you must be very careful in choosing the right one. You can't let this happen again."

After hanging up the phone, Sang Shuwan looked at Nancy with a hint of emotion in his eyes: "To be honest, Nancy, I find that you have changed a lot. In the past, when we were at loggerheads with Sang Jiuyue, you were always straightforward. But this time you were so calm and played her around."

Nancy raised her head slightly, her eyes revealing a calmness. "After going through so much, how could I not change? I used to go head-to-head with her and suffered a lot. Now I understand that winning with wisdom is the best strategy."

Sang Shuwan nodded gently, and said with a hint of guilt: "Actually, I have reflected a lot. In the past, when facing Sang Jiuyue's provocation, I always lost my temper and acted impulsively, which also caused you a lot of trouble. I will change in the future, and we will deal with her more cautiously together. I hope you can be more tolerant of my impatience."

Nancy reached out and gently patted Sang Shuwan's hand, a warm smile on her face: "We have been friends for many years, so it's awkward to say these things. From now on, no matter what tricks Sang Jiuyue plays, we will deal with them together. We will definitely be able to protect ourselves and make her suffer the consequences."

Sang Shuwan nodded heavily, her eyes full of determination. Outside the window, the sun shone through the mottled leaves, as if to shed a golden glow on their friendship and determination, foreshadowing that in the future they will adopt a new attitude and not fear any challenge.
