CHAPTER 686: CHAPTER 686: DEEPLY ROOTED LOVE (131)

Yin Shi’s face was stern. "If you don’t want to take this position, let your elder brother do it. Don’t disgrace our Yin family lineage. It’s just a girl, and she has already refused to acknowledge the relationship, so what are you taking it so seriously for? Yu Wen, send someone to tell her, if she dares to leak this matter, she can forget about staying alive."

"Dad, she has no intention of revealing it at all, it’s me who wants to publicly acknowledge her identity."

"Even so, we still need to do this," Yin Shi cautioned, "It’s enough that you know Gu Lili is doing well now. Those who are destined for great things should consider the whole picture. You’re not lacking a daughter, so do as I said. Do Cheng Yi and Yin Zhi, the siblings, know?"

"They don’t know yet; I haven’t told them."

"The fewer people who know about this, the better. Don’t tell them; let’s end it here."

Nan Yuesheng moved.

She rented a one-bedroom apartment in a complex near a kindergarten in the city. Because of its location, although small, the rent was not cheap.

This old and rundown apartment had a monthly rent of five thousand yuan, and there was no elevator.

This was already the cheapest available.

After inquiring, the kindergarten fees for half a year after the New Year were twelve thousand yuan.

Mother and daughter still needed to cover food and living expenses, so the earnings had to exceed these expenditures.

After careful consideration, Nan Yuesheng decided to apply for a job in a nightclub.

She wouldn’t take a job accompanying drinkers; her tolerance for alcohol was not that good, and she feared trouble.

But even not accompanying drinkers, selling alcohol still meant facing situations where you’re often surrounded by people drinking.

After careful selection, she chose to sell contraceptive pills.

The basic monthly salary was two thousand yuan, but the commission was quite good; if worked hard, she could earn a substantial salary each month.

For this, Nan Yuesheng underwent a week of training.

She went from a shy single mother to someone self-sufficient, mastering the techniques of persuading customers to buy her products.

When she left home, Ningyi stayed by herself because they couldn’t afford a nanny.

The money Long Yubei had given her over the years was almost all spent, and she didn’t want to ask Long Yubei for more money anymore, feeling capable and with Ningyi now sensible, she shouldn’t keep accepting help.

Ningyi was very clever and understood what her mom told her. When her mom wasn’t at home, she obediently watched cartoons.

The windows had security grilles, and the security door outside could be locked from the outside so it couldn’t be opened from the inside.

Before leaving, Nan Yuesheng locked the kitchen door as well, and secured all potential dangerous items like lighters and knives, to prevent any accidents.

And she kept in constant phone contact with Ningyi.

Every time Ningyi heard her concerned voice, she would sigh, "Mom, I’ll be good, don’t worry about me, I’ll wait at home for you to buy me dinner."

"Okay, be good, Mom will be back soon."

After five o’clock, she took a half-hour to buy dinner and hurried back home. The kindergarten, rented apartment, and nightclub were all close together and not far apart, which made things more convenient.

Once home, after watching Ningyi finish eating, she earnestly said to her daughter, "Today is Mom’s first day at work. Mom has to earn money. Only with money can we support ourselves. So Ningyi, you should go to sleep early at night. If you really can’t sleep, just watch TV until Mom comes back. If anything happens, call me, okay?"

Nan Ningyi nodded, "Okay, it’s just, I was thinking, it would be nice if Dad were here."

Nan Yuesheng gently ruffled her hair. "Be good, Mom is leaving."

After making sure her daughter was settled, she left for the nightclub.
