The blind boss's nanny

After losing his sight, Lu Tingzhao moved back to the manor and soon dismissed most of the servants.

He's very sensitive to sound now and always complains about too many footsteps.

Fortunately, he paid a generous severance package, and no one complained.

He locked himself in his room and stayed indoors all day.

When family members and assistants knocked on the door, they were only met with a cold response:

"Go do your own thing, I don't need anyone here."

Everyone was worried about him. But he didn't like everyone surrounding him.

His family insisted on hiring a caregiver to look after him, and Lu Tingzhao came up with a series of demanding requirements.

He simply didn't believe he could find it.

A week later, the assistant stood outside the door and whispered:

"Chairman, we've found the person you were looking for."

The room remained silent for a long time.

The door lock finally clicked softly. Lu Tingzhao appeared behind the crack in the door, his face pale and his eyes unfocused.

"Try it for a week first."

He finally compromised.

"If there are any problems, I will fire her anytime."

Even if there's no problem, he'll find an excuse to make people leave.

In downtown Beijing, Lin Xiaoman is queuing for an interview.

She looked at the job postings on her phone:

[Seeking a nanny. Requirements: Must be able to drive, fluent in English, proficient in nursing, hold a nutritionist certificate, and have a psychologist qualification. Additional terms: Six-month contract, isolated service, no contact required.]

What attracted her most was the last sentence: generous salary.

Ten minutes ago, the bank manager's words were still echoing in my ears:

"The other party swiped their card for 32 yuan in one go to buy a diamond ring from T brand."

The man even smiled and congratulated her, saying she was about to be proposed to.

Lin Xiaoman knew that the person being proposed to was definitely not her.

Lin Langqing has never given her a gift worth 320 yuan.

If it were any other man in the world, Lin Xiaoman would have made him suffer a terrible fate.

But it just so happens to be Lin Langqing.

Her father was her benefactor; he even supported her through university.

Faced with the choice between seeking revenge and reporting to the police, Lin Xiaoman chose to sign up.

Since life has dug a pit for her, she'll change direction and pave her own way.

To be honest, that job requirement was very high. Even those who barely met it would run away as soon as they heard about the "isolation from the world" requirement.

But Lin Xiaoman fits the bill perfectly.

She had a premonition that she would soon be kicked out of her home, and she had no worries about the future.

As a result, the interviewer shook his head as soon as he saw her:

"Too young and pretty, doesn't seem like someone who can do this kind of work."

"Beauty is a gift from your parents, but talent is something you develop yourself!"

Lin Xiaoman's competitive spirit suddenly surged.

She immediately demonstrated bandaging with one hand, prepared a low-calorie, nutritious meal using available ingredients within five minutes, and then introduced the meal in fluent English.

The interviewer was speechless, but still waved his hand:

"Go back and wait for further notice."

Back home, during dinner, her mother subtly inquired about her savings again.

"The debt collectors make eight hundred calls a day; your brother is too scared to even leave the house now..."

No matter what she said, Lin Xiaoman only said one thing:

No money.

The mother stole a glance at Lin Xiaoman.

"Although we never raised you, and even abandoned you when you were little... we've found you again now..."

Lin Xiaoman had finished eating and put down her chopsticks.

"Did you hire them, or was it a debt collection agency?"

The mother gave an awkward laugh.

Ever since the debt collection agency tracked down this daughter, she's been using the excuse of saving on rent to get Lin Xiaoman to move back home...

Having lived for 23 years, this was the first time Lin Xiaoman had experienced having food served to her.

Although she knew that her mother just wanted her money.

However, she is thick-skinned and a master at playing dumb.

No matter how hard they tried to persuade her, she just wouldn't budge.

At this moment, the mother could no longer hold back.

"I overheard you on the phone yesterday. Did you lend all your money to your boyfriend?"

Lin Xiaoman simply admitted it.

"Yes, we're not taking it back."

The whole family's expressions changed, and without saying a word, they kicked Lin Xiaoman out of the house.

"You're a money-loser!"

Lin Xiaoman sat by the roadside and couldn't help but think:

They just didn't get the benefit, so why are they angry?

But as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining. The nanny job that Lin Xiaoman thought was hopeless actually came to her door...

It's probably because of these bizarre conditions that they couldn't find a second person.

"Six months, one million."

Lin Xiaoman's eyes widened.

"Um... Boss, is this job... legal? Are you going to cut off my kidneys?"

The agent barely suppressed the urge to roll his eyes:

"Ms. Lin, we are a legitimate, high-end housekeeping company with a business license! Please rest assured..."

The other party gave her 1,000 yuan.

"Go get a physical exam and get a health certificate."

This gave Lin Xiaoman an extra half day, which she took the opportunity to attend a wedding.

She crouched in the far corner of the guest area, watching the perfect couple on stage.

The two were a perfect match, and the bride's diamond ring was dazzling.

How wonderful.

If only the groom wasn't her boyfriend, and the diamond ring wasn't bought with her money.

Six months ago, Lin Langqing said he wanted to revive his father's old business, and Lin Xiaoman took out all her savings without hesitation.

The moment Lin Langqing caught a glimpse of her, his face turned deathly pale.

He pulled her into the fire escape.

"Xiaoman! I've come a long way to get where I am today, don't ruin my plans!"

Xiaoman crossed her arms and asked slowly:

"I only have one question: Did you never intend to rebuild 'Sunshine Home' in the first place?"

Lin Langqing remained silent for a while, then finally admitted:

"If I hadn't said that, why would you have agreed?"

Lin Xiaoman chuckled softly. The bond they shared growing up together and her hard-earned money served as a facade for Lin Langqing's path to becoming a live-in son-in-law.

Money can be earned back, and feelings are not worth mentioning, but this person actually betrayed their great shared ideals!

No, it seems now that it was her own ideal.

She looked at the impeccably dressed man before her, took a deep breath, and offered her most "sincere" blessing:

"Lin Langqing, I wish you'll be fed and pushed around in class from now on. May you be infertile but have a house full of children and grandchildren!"

The man's expression changed.

"This is what you owe our family! If it weren't for my dad..."

Lin Xiaoman raised her hand and said,

"Otherwise, do you think you'd still be standing here unharmed?"

After saying that, she turned away gracefully.

Behind him came Lin Langqing's shout, a mixture of relief and exasperation:

"Lin Xiaoman! People should strive for better things! Only a fool like you would cling to that pile of junk and treat it like treasure!"

Xiaoman rolled her eyes as she looked at the "departure notification" message on her phone.

Ah, high up?

My sister is about to become a life assistant with a million-dollar annual salary, a much higher position than you!

The day we set off was sunny and clear.

The person who came to pick up Lin Xiaoman stared at her for a full three seconds before hesitantly confirming:

"Miss Lin...?"

Lin Xiaoman's outfit today is absolutely stunning...

Last night, she snapped up a floral print blouse from a roadside stall, paired with baggy wide-leg pants, and her face was covered in foundation three shades darker than her skin tone, with freckles adding to the look.

The other person hesitated for a second, but his professionalism made him refrain from asking further questions and directly pull out an eye mask:

"Please understand the rules."

Lin Xiaoman's vision went black as she was shoved into the car.
