Chapter 291: Opposing Evaluations

Gong Juan continued: "I heard the previous nannies couldn't rest well because of the trouble at night and didn't want to work for more than a month. I'm used to sleeping little at night because my family made tofu when I was a child, which is why I worked for several more months. I didn't expect that in the end, the bad person wasn't the employer, but the lady of the house. I always felt the lady of the house was quite pitiful. Sometimes when they argued, I would even help the lady of the house speak up. I didn't expect her to suddenly tell me not to work anymore, without even a reason. It made me so angry."

Qi Fei realized that a nanny can see parts of a family that others cannot. He immediately continued to ask: "Did Ma Ziqiang have conflicts with people?"

"That was all after he drank alcohol. This employer, once he drank, he was like a different person. The things he said were infuriating. I don't think any of his relatives or friends weren't angered by him."

"Oh? This is different from what we learned. His friends and neighbors all say he is a good person," Qi Fei deliberately guided.

As soon as Gong Juan heard "neighbors," she immediately said: "You mean that couple next door? They told you my employer is a good person?" She looked incredulous.

"Why?" Qi Fei heard there was a story.

"Their relationship with the employer is indeed good. I heard they have been neighbors for many years. When the employer didn't drink so heavily before, he probably helped the neighbors, lent them money, and so on. Anyway, I heard this when the employer was drunk and scolding people. But, regarding this money-lending matter, whenever he got drunk at night, he would knock on the neighbor's door, wanting them to get up in the middle of the night to drink with him. If they didn't accompany him, he would start bringing up the money-lending matter. You didn't hear the tone—it was so sarcastic. He would ask them how they would repay him, saying that if it weren't for him, the house would have been sold long ago. He also said the neighbor's family had bad genes, which is why they couldn't make money or have children. You judge—is this reasonable? I think the neighbor is quite pitiful. Probably because they borrowed money, they couldn't stand tall and had to swallow their anger."

Wu Shanqiu said indignantly: "If you borrow money, just pay it back. It's not a slave contract. If someone broke into my house in the middle of the night every day, I would definitely scold them."

Gong Juan shook her head: "The main thing is that after the employer made a scene all night and sobered up, he wouldn't remember anything. During the day, he was polite and generous, so you couldn't do anything about him."

"The neighbor you mentioned, the woman is named Wu Weiwei, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's the name."

"Brother Fei, when we met Wu Weiwei in the elevator that day, didn't we ask her if Ma Ziqiang had any conflicts with anyone? She even said she couldn't think of anyone. Given this situation, aren't the ones with conflicts themselves?" Wu Shanqiu suspected.

"Ha? She is lying through her teeth. I think this employer offended everyone. The scariest time was when he was drunk and holding a kitchen knife, saying he wanted to kill the lady of the house. That time, my legs were really weak. The two old people hurriedly called relatives and friends to mediate, but they were all angered by the employer. I'm too embarrassed to say those words."

"Tell us," Wu Shanqiu was curious.

Gong Juan repeated it vividly: "He said whose wife cheated, that the man was a cuckold, that whose family couldn't have children were eunuchs... tsk tsk, anyway, he just poked at people's sore spots. Actually, these words don't make people lose a piece of flesh, but they really hurt. This employer also has the ability to make people tremble with anger. Some people couldn't help but hit him, and the employer would call the police. As a result, the employer was fine, but that person ended up in the police station. However, having said that, the most pitiful one is the lady of the house. She really endured this employer. I saw her crying when she sent her son abroad. I even persuaded her, saying she didn't need to be so sad. She said she wasn't sad, but happy, because at least her son didn't have to suffer at home with her."

Hearing this, Qi Fei felt a mix of emotions. On one hand, he sympathized with Song Yun's situation; on the other, his suspicion of her increased greatly.

In the interrogation room, the bright light hit Song Yun's fair face. That calm demeanor made Qi Fei's suspicion grow a few more points.

"Aren't you surprised why we called you over?" Qi Fei asked Song Yun.

"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't fear ghosts knocking at the door. I'm just not panicked," she said lightly.

"We found the nanny you fired, Gong Juan," Qi Fei said, staring at Song Yun's face.

Hearing the name "Gong Juan," Song Yun's brows furrowed slightly, and she asked back: "Why are you looking for her?"

"I heard that you used to have a habit of hiring a nanny, but a while ago you fired the nanny without any reason, and you didn't hire a new one. Can you tell me the reason?"

"She told you there was no reason?" A trace of disdain flashed in Song Yun's eyes. "She knows what she did herself."

"Oh? It seems there is a hidden story?"

"I decided to fire her because I discovered she had sticky fingers and was stealing things from my house. But I don't like to argue with people. The things she stole weren't expensive, so I left some dignity for everyone. She even asked me why I fired her."

"Why didn't you look for a new nanny later?"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Song Yun's face: "I used to hire a nanny because I had elderly parents and young children at home, and I couldn't take care of them alone. This year, my son went abroad to study, and I thought there was no need to spend that money. You called me over just to ask about these trivial family matters?"

Qi Fei and Wu Shanqiu looked at each other. Sure enough, just like before, Song Yun's words were always impeccable.

"However, according to the nanny, Ma Ziqiang often got drunk and made trouble. It seems he wasn't as perfect as you said before," Qi Fei continued.

Song Yun sneered: "This person was fired by me. Don't you know about a nanny's mouth? It's normal for her to have an opinion of me and spread rumors."

"Is that so? Then what about the owners upstairs and downstairs? Why did they all move away?"

Hearing this, Song Yun subconsciously brushed her bangs with her hand, then turned her head and replied: "That's their business. How can I answer?"

"They unanimously said it was because they couldn't stand the noise from Ma Ziqiang at night that they moved away. It seems there are quite a few people dissatisfied with Ma Ziqiang."

"It's normal for men to have social engagements and get drunk. If they want to say that, they are narrow-minded. I don't think there's anything to it," Song Yun said, showing an uncomprehending expression. "You asked so much, what exactly do you want to know?"

"I want to know why two groups of people would give completely different evaluations of one person. Who is lying?" Qi Fei said word by word.
