The blind boss's nanny
Chapter 22: Enough with the acting.
Even if he were a normal person, Lu Tingzhao is still blind, so his personality will probably be even more extreme.
Lin Xiaoman finally saw through the charade.
What a well-designed act of moral blackmail!
The Wen family wanted to extricate themselves unscathed, but they also didn't want to bear the stigma of breaking off the engagement.
They were hoping that Lu Tingzhao would take the initiative to break off the engagement, so as to save face for the Wen family.
Wanting both substance and face? Where in the world is there such a good thing?
Some people strive to take responsibility even when they are plunged into darkness, while others, standing in the light, lack even the courage to speak the truth.
Lin Xiaoman leaned closer to Lu Tingzhao, her voice soft yet loud enough for everyone to hear:
"Chairman, didn't you just say you wanted tiramisu? The chef has it ready."
That's not true at all. Even if it were, it would only be something she wanted to eat herself.
But Lu Tingzhao understood and stood up with her help.
But the Wen siblings absolutely cannot let him go like this.
They haven't achieved their goal of coming today.
Please wait!
Wen Zhe hurriedly stopped him.
Lin Xiaoman acted as if she hadn't heard, and continued to help Lu Tingzhao walk into the room:
"Chairman, what flavor would you like to eat?"
"stop!"
Wen Zhe finally lost his composure and reached out to grab Lin Xiaoman.
"Who do you think you are, daring to—"
"Wen Zhe."
Lu Tingzhao's voice pierced the air with a coldness.
The hand that was reaching out to Lin Xiaoman froze in mid-air.
Those unfocused eyes slowly turned towards Wen Zhe:
You should know how my marriage to Wenya came about.
Wen Zhe's face turned deathly pale:
"Tingzhao, I didn't..."
"Wen Zhe."
Lu Tingzhao interrupted him.
"My engagement with Wenya is null and void."
These four words were so powerful that Wenya was so shocked that she forgot to cry.
The goal has finally been achieved.
The Wen siblings exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew Lu Tingzhao too well.
Once he gives the order, he will absolutely do it.
Just like back then, Wen Zhe said he was trustworthy and begged him repeatedly to marry his sister to him, and he only agreed after many attempts.
But once he agreed, he never saw another woman again.
Such a virtuous and capable man, it's just a pity that fate was unfair.
Wen Zhe temporarily suppressed the guilt in his heart.
No matter how deep the bond between friends, it can never compare to the ties of blood.
At the crucial moment, he stood by his sister without hesitation.
"Tingzhao, you will meet someone more suitable..."
Lin Xiaoman couldn't bear to listen to this hypocritical rhetoric any longer.
Get cheap and sell well!
If it weren't for the need to save face for Lu Tingzhao, she would have liked to kick those two out immediately.
"You've had your act, please leave now."
Looking at the two people holding hands, Wenya finally couldn't help but ask:
"Lu Tingzhao, you've actually wanted to break off our engagement for a long time, haven't you?"
"You already have a woman, but you're deliberately stringing me along, just to embarrass me, aren't you?"
Lu Tingzhao frowned and remained silent.
This kind of nonsense is not worth refuting at all.
But Wenya interpreted this reaction as tacit agreement.
"hypocrite!"
She finally found the moral high ground.
"My brother also said that you're someone I could entrust my life to..."
There are some truths she can't say, such as "I despise you for being blind."
I don't want to be dragged down by you.
However, fabricated charges can be used to cover up one's betrayal, and one can take advantage of the situation to make a fuss.
Lin Xiaoman had no idea that the "woman" Wen Ya was referring to was herself.
She said directly:
"If you don't leave, I'll have someone escort you out."
Wen Ya glared at Lin Xiaoman.
"Will this family listen to you now?"
Lin Xiaoman was delighted.
I don't know if they'll listen to me, but they definitely won't listen to you.
The Wen siblings felt they had been mistreated and wanted to continue their harassment.
Wen Ya was so angry that her face turned pale. Wen Zhe was still trying to argue, completely unaware of the sudden drop in pressure around Lu Tingzhao.
Lin Xiaoman felt it was time to let these two uninvited guests experience the fear of having a gun pointed at them.
"Brother Leng!"
Lin Xiaoman suddenly shouted loudly towards the treehouse,
"Brother Leng, the chairman is in danger!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the crisp sound of a bullet being chambered came from the treehouse.
Wen Zhe looked at Lu Tingzhao in disbelief, only to see a cold and stern profile.
Just a reminder.
Lin Xiaoman tilted her head and smiled.
"Our bodyguard's gun isn't a toy gun; it has a range of 200 meters!"
The Wen siblings turned pale and staggered away, trampling several precious orchids in the process.
Lin Xiaoman knelt down with heartache to save the seedlings, helping them up one by one.
"You can't even watch where you're going when you're running away!"
Lu Tingzhao quietly "watched" her busy figure, then suddenly spoke:
"Weren't we going to eat tiramisu?"
Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up, and she shook the mud off her hands and came to help him.
But when he saw the mud covering his wounds, he flinched.
"Chairman, I'd like to go wash my hands first..."
"It's alright, go inside quickly."
Lin Xiaoman helped him walk through the sunlight-drenched ground, teasing him on purpose.
"Chairman, why are you in such a hurry to go in? Are you afraid you'll start crying?"
"I was afraid I'd laugh out loud."
Lin Xiaoman laughed heartily:
"That's right, Chairman, she's not good enough for you at all."
She wasn't referring to outward things like wealth and status, but rather to precious things like character and inner qualities.
Lu Tingzhao had already moved on from this matter.
"You want to eat it, right?"
"Um?"
The man reminded him expressionlessly:
Tiramisu.
Lin Xiaoman chuckled after being exposed.
"You also study Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny)?"
"No, it's because I used to do end-of-life care. There was an old man who was a fortune teller, and he taught me a little bit."
Lu Tingzhao suddenly stopped:
"Have you calculated it for yourself?"
"I've calculated it..."
Lin Xiaoman's voice softened.
"They say I have no relatives to rely on, but I will meet a good person on my journey."
Do you believe in this?
"I believe the good things, but I don't believe the bad things, haha!"
As the two passed the treehouse, Lin Xiaoman looked up and saw that Leng Feng was no longer at the window.
She shouted loudly:
"Thanks, Brother Leng!"
no respond.
Lu Tingzhao said calmly:
"When did you become so familiar with my bodyguard?"
Lin Xiaoman continued to play dumb.
"Oh, I'm just using your name to bully others..."
At dinner time, Lin Xiaoman carried a plate up to the treehouse, where Leng Feng was wiping his sniper scope.
"We have tiramisu today!"
She placed the dessert next to the ammunition box.
"The chairman specifically asked the chef to make this."
Leng Feng glanced at the dessert; he never ate sweets, and pushed it back in front of her.
"You eat it."
He watched as she served him a large bowl of food.
She seemed afraid that her daughter would go hungry, so she always provided her with very generous meals that were nutritionally balanced.
Leng Feng moved the fried pork chop on his plate to the side, leaving only the steamed fish and beef.
Lin Xiaoman accepted it with a smile.
"Is Brother Leng trying to maintain his physique?"
She scooped up some cake and asked indistinctly.
"A high-carb diet can make you sleepy."
Leng Feng shook his head.
"I must remain vigilant at all times."
Although Qin Xiu had warned of potential dangers before arriving, he discovered that the security system here was even more sophisticated than that of the war zone command post.
