Chapter 1363: Chapter 505: I Am the Evil Nanny (Part 7)

Professor Qiao clearly wants to find someone who can take care of his daily needs, a nanny to attend to his bedside.

If He Tiantian agrees, wouldn’t she be asking for trouble?

Besides these obvious issues, there’s also opposition or hostility from the children on both sides.

Not to mention others, just look at Qiao Jianan earlier, didn’t she show discontent towards her?!

They haven’t even married yet, nor have they touched the interests of the Qiao siblings.

Once they get married, even if the children are no longer in the country, conflicts will arise.

She is clearly Qiao Zhenbang’s "savior," and should be receiving gratitude and respect from the Qiao family children.

Yet, because she became a free nanny for Qiao Zhenbang, she ended up being perceived as an old witch, or an evil stepmother!

Tsk tsk, she’d have to be crazy to do something so foolish!

Qiao Zhenbang noticed "He Xiutian’s" hesitation.

He also knows that women nowadays are quite clever.

In the same situation, people would rather be a nanny with a salary which they can quit from, instead of foolishly being coaxed into being a "full-time housewife."

"...Aside from those things, I may not be a big shot, but at least I’m a professor at A University with many students and colleagues."

"I can’t speak for elsewhere, but in the Provincial City, I do have some network and relationships."

"Your daughter studied at university, and it’s the Provincial City’s best, S University, which is great!"

"But, given the current employment situation, you must be aware. It’s not guaranteed that attending a good university means a great future."

"How many undergraduate graduates are there every year? Students themselves joke ’graduation equals unemployment,’ showing how intense the employment pressure is!"

"I may not be too capable, but as a professor of the finance department, I know some people both in education and in finance!"

So, when the time comes, whether Zhao Yan continues with graduate studies, becomes a teacher at a school, or enters a company, Qiao Zhenbang can help.

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian knew she should show an emotional response.

She’s a good mother who focused on raising her daughter after her husband’s death and did not remarry.

So, her daughter Zhao Yan is her biggest weakness.

Qiao Zhenbang hit her pressure point perfectly, she had to show a reaction.

Sure enough, seeing "He Xiutian’s" eyes light up, Qiao Zhenbang knew his words had moved her.

Qiao Zhenbang continued earnestly, "Though it’s early to discuss this matter, we as parents must think ahead about our children’s future."

"Little He, your daughter is very outstanding. In campus, there will surely be boys who like her."

"But, we are all adults and know that dating and marriage are two different things."

"Young people in love don’t care much about family condition or economic foundation, as long as they like each other. Love makes everything feel sufficient!"

"However, once it turns to marriage discussions... I’m not being prejudiced, but some arrogant families really do reject single-parent homes—"

Not to mention, "He Xiutian" is a nanny.

This sentence, Qiao Zhenbang didn’t speak out.

Because given his status and cultivation, he couldn’t say something so blatantly discriminatory towards a profession.

However, such matters don’t need to be stated explicitly.

Societal prejudices and people’s vanity are real.

Even "He Xiutian" herself hopes that her daughter will find a good family with a house and car, and kind in-laws.

Everyone mouths off saying "as long as the child has good character," but faced with two options, one with a decent job and good family background; the other, aside from "being good," has poor conditions in every other aspect.

...How to choose?

Just like Qiao Zhenbang said, dating and marriage are very different.

If it’s just dating, two kids don’t need to worry too much.

But once it involves marriage, it’s not just a matter of two people, but two families, and it could even impact more relatives and friends.

Marriage has never been only about love.

Zhao Yan is still a girl, in the marriage market, she’s likely to be more scrutinized.

Single parent, real mother is a nanny... Tsk tsk, any decent family will have to think twice.

He Tiantian deliberately acted like she was disturbed, showing a look of embarrassment, annoyance, and regret.

She behaved like this, it’s clear she heard Qiao Zhenbang’s underlying meaning and realized her situation might bring trouble to her daughter’s future.

Actually, there’s no need to wait for the future, just like now, He Xiutian has already arrived at the Provincial City but doesn’t dare to easily visit S University to find her daughter.
