The crybaby nanny was bullied and cried again by her yandere husband.

Shang Yu didn't turn around, but continued driving to the right, and stopped near the shopping mall after a short while.

"We still need to go shopping."

He had already unbuckled his seatbelt and was about to get out of the car when he saw Lin Zhao still sitting there motionless.

Shang Yu leaned forward again and spoke.

"What? You want me to untie you?"

Lin Zhao's cheeks were burning hot, but she gripped the seatbelt tightly, her head lowered, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"Sir, this is too expensive, I... I can't afford it..."

There are more than 20 children in the orphanage. A schoolbag here costs several hundred yuan, so he can't buy things for very long.

Upon hearing this reason, Shang Yu's previously playful expression faded.

He casually grabbed his wallet, pulled out a jet-black card, and shoved it into Lin Zhao's cool hand without a word.

Before Lin Zhao could even utter her refusal, Shang Yu had already spoken.

He spoke in a casual tone, as if he were talking about something trivial, deliberately making it sound relaxed, afraid of touching on his embarrassment.

"Take it. It's a company welfare card I received before, and there's still some balance left. Why not use it?"

Lin Zhao gripped the black card, her fingertips trembling, and hurriedly tried to push it back.

"Sir, this is too expensive, I can't accept it..."

Shang Yu pressed down on his hand, raising an eyebrow slightly, his expression one of unyielding force.

"Just take it. It's not for you. It's for buying things for the children in the orphanage. Don't dawdle. Besides, it's not just for you. Uncle Li and Shen Ci also have some."

He wasn't lying; it's just that Uncle Li and Shen Ci had shopping cards from this supermarket, while Lin Zhao had his own supplementary card.

Moreover, it's not just a small balance; there's no limit, it goes nowhere. But fearing Lin Zhao might overthink it, he didn't explain it too clearly.

When Lin Zhao heard that everyone else had something to say, she felt it would be ungrateful to refuse again, so she stopped. Just as she was about to say thank you, sir, the person had already gotten off the bus.

He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, but Shang Yu had already walked towards the supermarket.

Lin Zhao jogged over.

"Sir, are you going in too?"

Shang Yu gave him a strange look.

"What's wrong? It's not working?"

Lin Zhao pursed her lips and remained silent.

૮₍˶•⤙•˶₎ა

Why does my husband always have such a sharp tongue? But I'll forgive him for the sake of the shopping card he gave me.

When they arrived at the supermarket entrance, Lin Zhao first pushed a shopping cart. When he turned around, he saw Shang Yu standing not far away, waiting for him.

He quickly jogged over, and Shang Yu glanced at what he was holding and naturally took it.

Just as Lin Zhao was about to say that she could do it, Shang Yu had already pushed the cart inside.

The two walked side by side into the brightly lit supermarket, pushing their shopping carts inside.

Shang Yu clearly didn't frequent places like this; a hint of unfamiliarity flickered in his eyes. His gaze swept over the rows of dazzling shelves, and he seemed somewhat lost, unsure of where to go next.

He frowned as he looked at the wide variety of snacks, stationery, and daily necessities in front of him, unsure of where to begin.

Lin Zhao, on the other hand, seemed quite familiar with the place. She spoke softly to him about which items were practical and cost-effective, and walked ahead to select them, her expression unusually relaxed.

Sometimes, the price listed on the label is still a deterrent; you might hold it for a while, look at it for a long time, and then put it back.

After a few times, Shang Yu couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to throw the things he had put down back into the car.

"If you want it, just buy it. Stop dawdling, or it'll get dark."

Lin Zhao stammered.

"But it's a bit expensive..."

Shang Yu glanced at the price. Expensive?

He had more than enough money in his card to buy ten of these supermarkets, but he didn't say that, afraid that Lin Zhao would be even less likely to buy them.

"This card has about 200,000 yuan left. If you don't use it, it will expire and you won't be able to use it anymore. You can decide for yourself whether to throw it away or use it to buy things for the children in the orphanage."

Lin Zhao was stunned when she heard this. Two hundred thousand?

My previous company gave out shopping cards for a few hundred yuan at most, but this gentleman gave me two hundred thousand?

He instinctively clenched the card in his hand, quickly looked up at Shang Yu, his eyes filled with anxiety and panic, and hurriedly refused in a low voice.

"No, sir, 200,000 is too much. I really can't spend that much of your money. My welfare card doesn't have such a large limit either. I... I dare not."

He was telling the truth; 200,000 was too much, he really didn't dare spend it...

Shang Yu felt somewhat helpless looking at his timid appearance.

He's so scared over just 200,000? Looks like his salary is still too low. I'll give him a raise later.

"The credit limit is just sitting there doing nothing, and I'm too lazy to make another trip to redeem it. If you don't use it, I'll just throw the card in the trash later."

As he spoke, he deliberately raised his hand as if to pull the card back, acting as if he meant what he said.

Lin Zhao panicked and gripped the card even tighter, speaking in a low voice.

"Don't throw it away. I'll buy something for the kids, and I won't waste money, okay?"

Shang Yu was a little annoyed by his cautious manner, as if he were afraid of owing favors.

If they knew it was his supplementary card, they'd be so scared they'd cry. They even said they'd work for him for life. Why are they making such a big deal out of it?

"Whatever."

After saying that, he pushed the cart and left, this time without waiting for Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao had to jog to keep up, but she noticed that Shang Yu's expression was rather gloomy.

What's wrong now? Are you angry again?

ŏ̥ㅁŏ̥

Lin Zhao followed Shang Yu with small steps, not daring to waste any more time, and grabbed whatever looked suitable.

Not far away, a gentle yet surprised voice came from the side.

"Lin Zhao?"

Lin Zhao paused, slowly turned around, and saw a man in a clean shirt with a refined demeanor standing not far away, looking at him with gentle eyes.

It was Lin Yu, the older brother he grew up with in the orphanage, who was six years older than him.

The children in the orphanage who were not adopted all lived with the director, and all of them changed their surname to Lin. So they had the same surname but different given names, grew up together, and were as close as brothers.

When Lin Zhao was a child, he was gentle and timid, and always quietly huddled in a corner. It was Lin Yu who protected him in every way.

If there's something delicious, she'll always give him a portion first; if there are warm old clothes, she'll quietly save them for him to wear, never letting him suffer from cold or hunger.

The other children in the courtyard were naughty and would often surround Lin Zhao and make trouble for him, calling him weak-willed, always crying, and effeminate.

Lin Yu was always the first to step forward and protect him.

From childhood to adulthood, Lin Yu has been like an older brother to him, protecting and caring for him. He is the most important person in Lin Zhao's childhood besides his mother, the hospital director.

But no one expected that as the two grew up and entered puberty, rumors began to circulate in the neighborhood. Some people gossiped behind their backs, saying that Lin Yu had impure thoughts, was gay, and was always hanging around Lin Zhao because he liked her.

The gossip grew increasingly unpleasant, suffocating people.

Lin Yu, being strong-willed, couldn't stand the harsh gossip and gradually distanced himself from Lin Zhao. When they met, he would only nod briefly and never took the initiative to contact him again.

Lin Zhao was too young at that time, and she was naive and didn't understand anything.

He couldn't tell that Lin Yu was avoiding him, and thought he had done something wrong. He went to apologize to Lin Yu, saying that he wasn't angry, but he still kept his distance from him.

Lin Zhao felt sad, but she was sensible enough not to disturb him, because the headmistress said that Lin Yu was destined for great things and would not stay in the hospital forever.

Later, Lin Yu went to study abroad and never came back. Over time, the two really lost contact and never saw each other properly again after many years.

I never expected to see him here.
