Chapter 316: Chapter 316: You Should Be Called Little Psycho
The viewers in the livestream saw Hardworking Zane admit he was the housekeeper at SizzlingPork’s home, and they excitedly flooded the chat with comments.
[AHHH, ZANE, QUIT NOW!]
[Zane, run! Run away tonight!!!]
[Is it really hard working at SizzlingPork’s house?]
[Sweetie, don’t you want to find a new job...?]
[Dear, you can’t eat spoiled fruit, it’s bad for you!]
Seeing everyone’s messages, Hardworking Zane quickly typed a reply:
[I am going to quit. I didn’t quit when I was wrongly accused before because I was afraid they’d think I was running off after stealing something.]
[It’s hard work, but it’s my job. I get paid, so it’s only right that I do the labor.]
[I will find a new job! I’ll work hard to find a respectable one!]
[Because the fruit looked fine on the outside, not spoiled at all. I thought it would be a waste to throw it away...]
Renee Jennings finished reading Zane’s comments. A look of concern appeared on her delicate features, and she said softly, "Zane, if you need any help, just let me know."
Hardworking Zane gazed at Renee Jennings on the screen, his heart warm and his eyes welling up.
He had been wrongly accused by his employers recently, and though it was incredibly painful, he hadn’t cried once, swallowing all his grievances.
But now, everyone’s concern shattered his restraint. Hot tears streamed uncontrollably down his face, blurring on the screen.
Hardworking Zane wiped the tears from his screen with the corner of his shirt, typing as he cried: [I understand. Thank you, Renee! Thank you, everyone!]
Renee Jennings sent Hardworking Zane a private message and then proceeded to connect with the third viewer.
"Nugget" connected to the livestream.
The woman had long, straight black hair, a blue headband, monolids, and thin lips.
"Nugget, hello," Renee Jennings greeted her.
Nugget quickly straightened her pajamas and waved. "Hello, Renee Jennings."
After the greeting, she added, "I’m going to go change my clothes."
Nugget stood up and left the camera’s view. A few minutes later, she returned wearing a pink dress, holding a ginger cat in her arms.
"Renee Jennings, this is my ginger cat, Winter," Nugget introduced.
Renee Jennings looked at the ginger cat and said with a smile, "Hello, Winter. I’m Renee. It’s a pleasure to meet you."
Upon hearing this, Winter let out a meow. "Why are you so happy to meet me?"
Renee Jennings found this amusing and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Because you’re very cute."
"Oh, I see!" Winter chuckled. "I think I’m cute too~"
Renee Jennings’s eyes curved into crescents. "So you know you’re cute."
Nugget interrupted the conversation between the human and the cat. "Renee Jennings, there’s something I’d like you to ask Winter for me."
Renee Jennings: "What is it?"
"I suspect there’s something wrong with my husband and my stepmother’s relationship." Nugget’s expression turned serious.
[What? Am I hearing this right? I’m so confused...]
[How could you even suspect something like that?]
[This kind of messed-up gossip is so exciting.]
Renee Jennings was also stunned, a look of confusion appearing in her beautiful eyes. "What do you mean?"
[Haha, the streamer is stumped too.]
[This topic is seriously juicy.]
Nugget said with some urgency, "I mean I think my husband and my stepmother are having an affair."
Renee Jennings: "..."
She furrowed her brow slightly. "Why would you think that?"
"It’s just that the atmosphere between them feels very wrong to me." Nugget looked unhappy. "My gut tells me their relationship is definitely not simple."
"Do you have a good relationship with your stepmother?" Renee Jennings asked.
Nugget: "I think it’s okay, but our relationship is a bit special. We’re not just stepmother and stepdaughter."
Renee Jennings raised an eyebrow. "What other relationship do you have?"
"She’s actually my mother’s second-oldest sister. My mom died from complications during childbirth," Nugget sighed. "When I was six months old, my paternal grandfather worried that if my dad remarried, his new wife wouldn’t genuinely treat me well. It just so happened that my mom’s sister wasn’t promised to anyone yet, so my grandfather talked to my maternal grandparents and arranged for her to marry my dad and become my stepmother."
Renee Jennings: "..."
She pressed her lips together, suddenly at a loss for words.
’Her stepmother is her aunt, but she keeps calling her "stepmother"?’
[Your stepmother is your aunt! You’re that close, and you won’t even call her ’Mom’?]
[Your aunt married your dad for your sake, and now you’re here suspecting she’s having an affair with your husband??]
Seeing the comments, Nugget immediately retorted: "It’s not that I’m unwilling to call her Mom. I’m calling her ’stepmother’ for the streamer’s benefit. And what do you mean she married my dad for my sake? If she didn’t like my dad, how could she have possibly agreed to marry him?"
Renee Jennings took a deep breath, sipped some water, and then said slowly, "I’d like to ask, what makes you think they’re having an affair?"
Nugget: "Every time we go to my dad’s house, my stepmother cooks my husband’s favorite dishes."
Nugget: "When my stepmother asks my dad for help, he doesn’t go, but my husband volunteers to help instead. At home, when I ask him for help, he acts like he didn’t even hear me."
Nugget frowned tightly, her expression filled with dissatisfaction. "I just find it so ridiculous."
[I find it ridiculous too.]
[Your aunt and your husband are decent people who know how to be polite, but you’re accusing them of having an affair...]
[It feels like you don’t really consider your aunt as family.]
Renee Jennings frowned slightly and fell silent.
Nugget stared at her. Seeing that she remained silent, she pressed, "Renee Jennings, why aren’t you saying anything?"
A hint of exasperation entered Renee Jennings’s tone. "Do you really believe this, or are you making it up?"
Nugget said, agitated, "Of course it’s true! Why would I make up a story like this? What are you trying to say?"
"I think..." Renee Jennings’s expression was neutral, her tone unhurried. "There’s nothing wrong with your stepmother or your husband. The one with the problem is you."
Nugget was instantly displeased, saying angrily, "What problem could I have? What nonsense are you spouting! Unbelievable. You haven’t even asked Winter yet. Isn’t it too rash to jump to a conclusion like this?"
"Fine, I’ll ask Winter now." Renee Jennings looked at the ginger cat, Winter, and said slowly, "Winter, when Nugget isn’t around, do her stepmother and her husband hug and kiss each other?"
"Of course not," Winter meowed. "The two of them don’t even talk to each other."
Renee Jennings nodded and said to Nugget, "Winter said that when you’re not around, your husband and your stepmother don’t even chat."
"Impossible!" Nugget didn’t believe it at all. "There’s definitely something going on between them."
[They’re perfectly innocent, and you insist they’re having an affair... You shouldn’t be called Nugget, you should be called Psycho.]
[+1! Psycho!]
Seeing the comments, Nugget immediately cursed back, "You’re the ones who are psycho!"
Winter blinked its feline eyes and meowed, "Renee, Shannon often calls her stepmother crazy too."
