Chapter 355: Not Very Safe, You Need My Protection

The three of them had just left the house when they saw a sneaky-looking man at the entrance heading toward the stairwell.

"Stop," Sheng Hanyu said, chasing after him.

"Run."

Shi Youxuan shielded her daughter and hurried toward the elevator.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Sheng Hanyu also emerged from another elevator, escorting that person—it was a false alarm.

The sneaky-looking man was a new cleaning worker hired by the property management; he was a bit nervous on his first day of work and ran whenever he saw people—and so he was mistaken for a bad guy!

Although it was a false alarm, it provided Sheng Hanyu with a reason.

Along the way, he firmly opposed Shi Youxuan going to a housekeeping agency to find a nanny; of course, if she really had to find one, that matter was on him, and he would find one.

After arriving at the school, Shi Ran entered the campus by herself, and the two of them turned around, preparing to head back.

Sheng Hanyu opened the car door, suddenly shoved Shi Youxuan into the car quickly, and said to her swiftly, "Wait for me in the car, lock it." After saying that, he ran quickly toward the west.

The west side was the school wall, and as he ran over, Shi Youxuan also saw what looked like a man sneakily peering toward them.

Her heart was pounding; she both hoped Sheng Hanyu could catch the person tailing them, and hoped it was just like the morning at the Apartment—a misunderstanding!

Before long, Sheng Hanyu returned, returning alone.

"Where is the person?"

Sheng Hanyu's brows were tightly locked: "Let him get away."

"Xuanxuan, I will come to pick up the child this afternoon, and I will arrange a few bodyguards for you to protect the safety of you and the child."

The nanny hadn't been found yet, and he was arranging bodyguards?

Shi Youxuan felt it was a bit of an overreaction: "I don't think bodyguards are necessary; perhaps we are just overthinking it. There are so many parents dropping off their children in the morning, it doesn't necessarily mean they are targeting us."

Sheng Hanyu: "It's best if they aren't, but what if they are? What will we do if we aren't prepared? Don't worry about this matter; I will arrange it."

The people he arranged protected the mother and daughter from the shadows, and after following them for a few days, they really discovered someone was stalking and monitoring them.

It wasn't one person, but a group.

This included the cleaning staff working at the property management, who should have also been someone who infiltrated, because that person didn't come to work the next day!

Now Shi Youxuan was nervous.

She was afraid it was Zhu Yiwen's people.

Although Zhu Yiwen's tree had fallen and the monkeys had scattered, there were still remnants, and it was possible they had come to Jiangzhou to take revenge on her.

However, Sheng Hanyu didn't think it looked like it; if they were Zhu Yiwen's people, they would have acted long ago and wouldn't be stalking them endlessly—it seemed like they were looking for an opportunity.

It was hard to say whose people they were, but in any case, the visitors were not well-intentioned!

Shi Youxuan's Apartment was now loose on the outside but tight on the inside; Sheng Hanyu simply used the excuse of protecting the mother and daughter to move into her home.

Shi Ran agreed with both hands: "Great, great! With Uncle protecting us, I won't be afraid of anything."

Shi Youxuan objected: "What's so great about it? Now the residential complex and the school are monitored by your uncle like an iron bucket; we are very safe."

Sheng Hanyu: "It's not very safe; your windows don't even have anti-theft bars."

Shi Youxuan:...

She lived on the twenty-second floor; why would she need anti-theft bars?

Could someone really climb up from downstairs?

Was it Spider-Man!

However, what Sheng Hanyu said also made sense; what if a bad guy rented the floor above or below and then climbed in through the window?

So Shi Youxuan immediately called the property management and asked them to contact workers to install protective bars.

In an old residential area in the city center.

In a room, a man was on a video call with a woman on the other side.

"I'm sorry, Miss. We really can't find an opportunity, and we almost got ourselves caught several times. You should find someone else. I'll refund the money to you; it's already been transferred to your account."

"Trash, you can't even handle such a small matter? Don't bother hanging around in the underworld anymore..." Wang Bingbing's eyes widened in anger, furious to the point of collapse.

"Yes, Miss Wang is right to lecture me; it is my incompetence. Goodbye." The man cut the video.

She hadn't finished speaking, and the other party hung up on her?

This was something that would have been completely impossible in the past, but now it was happening for real.

Wang Bingbing paced back and forth in the room.

Now there were no roles to film; she had been shelved by her company.

Those people who were originally surrounding her immediately scattered like birds and beasts; now she was a lone wolf, and there was basically no one she could use!

She used to receive so many announcements that her hands would go soft, but suddenly there were none at all. The huge psychological gap made Wang Bingbing very unaccustomed to it, and she hated Shi Youxuan and her daughter to the bone even more.

Wang Bingbing didn't think she was the one at fault; instead, she blamed everything on Shi Youxuan.

She wanted to send people to kidnap her or Shi Ran; that little girl was just as cunning as Shi Youxuan, so young and yet so sly that even she had been schemed against.

She hadn't even been able to start acting before she was already discovered!

Sheng Hanyu used the excuse of protecting the mother and daughter to almost stay at Shi Youxuan's house and not leave.

He always had countless high-sounding reasons to be with her.

In the morning, he would drop off the child, and upon returning, he would call it—you are not safe at home alone—and then bring his laptop to Shi Youxuan's house to work; of course, sometimes he would even use her computer.

Shi Youxuan protested: "Sheng Hanyu, I don't need your protection. The residential complex has property management, security guards, and I have protective bars; it is very safe."

Sheng Hanyu: "Have you forgotten last time?"

Shi Youxuan:...

She still had lingering fears about what happened last time.

She never imagined those people could impersonate property management staff to come and snatch someone in broad daylight, and since they had done it once, no one could guarantee there wouldn't be a second time!

Consequently, she lost her nerve and was no longer so resistant to Sheng Hanyu staying.

But the lingering troubles were still significant.

First of all, Sheng Hanyu frequented her home, and the neighbors in the residential complex all misunderstood them to be a family.

When meeting in the elevator going up or down, or seeing them in the complex, they would greet them by saying: "Mr. Sheng and your wife are going out together?"

"Are you two taking your child to school together? You are truly enviably affectionate."

At first, Shi Youxuan would explain: "You've misunderstood, we are not a couple."

But the look in the neighbors' eyes would change, and some even misunderstood her as being a mistress, seducing a married man.

When Shi Youxuan heard the gossip outside, she didn't want to explain anymore; let people think what they wanted, as the mouths belonged to them, and they would naturally give up once they ran out of fresh, sensational news.

However.

Before the neighbors who loved to gossip about domestic affairs could give up on the rumors about the two of them, Shi Ran's classmates and their parents also misunderstood.

When dropping off children in the morning, the classmates' parents would also greet them when they met.

"Mr. and Mrs. Shi are so affectionate, taking the child to school together."

"Mrs. Shi, you are so lucky; your husband is handsome and wealthy, knows how to make money, and is part of the Gu Family, if my husband were even half as devoted to the family as yours, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

Shi Youxuan smiled on the outside, but inside she was thinking: Are you blind? Which eye can see that we are affectionate?

Affectionate, my Datou!

Sheng Hanyu was not annoyed at being called "Mr. Shi," and even changed his usual icy expression, smiling whenever he saw the parents of Shi Ran's classmates.

The little one was influenced by this.

She said to Shi Youxuan more than once: "Mom, find me a dad; if you don't find one, I'll find one myself. I think Uncle is quite suitable to be a dad; he is good to you and good to me, and you knew each other before, how great it is to know each other's roots and background."
