The blind boss's nanny

When life is going too smoothly, there will always be people who are envious and want to cause trouble.

Lin Xiaoman and Xiao Gu's accounts became increasingly popular, with several viral videos going viral and their fan base growing rapidly.

In the footage, Lin Xiaoman is radiant, confident, and glowing.

This light pierced the hearts of two groups of people who should have long since disappeared from her life—her biological parents and her former adoptive parents.

Both families saw her video. Seeing Lin Xiaoman living a life of luxury in the video, both families felt they had been tricked.

"That brat! She acted so pitiful back then, but she was hiding so much money for something big!"

"Exactly! Ungrateful wretch! Now that they're rich, they don't even show us any filial piety, just living the high life themselves!"

"Sue her! We must sue her! Sue her for failing to support her parents!"

The two families quickly reached an agreement, contacted lawyers, and filed a lawsuit against Lin Xiaoman for "failure to fulfill her support obligations." Their demands were simple and direct:

They want money, child support, and compensation.

When Lin Xiaoman received the court summons, she found it absurd and laughable. She casually tossed the document aside and scoffed at it.

She has a clear conscience towards both families, and legally she has a stronger case. Whether it's her biological parents who abandoned her or her adoptive parents whose adoption relationship was terminated long ago, she owes them nothing, both legally and morally.

She didn't take it to heart and continued planning the next video with Xiao Gu.

However, she underestimated the depths of human depravity.

The two families then immediately agreed to be interviewed by an unscrupulous media outlet. On camera, the two middle-aged couples wept uncontrollably, their acting superb.

"I raised her from infancy, and now that she's famous and rich, she doesn't recognize us anymore!"

"She's heartless! She eats and dresses well herself, watching us suffer, and doesn't give us a single penny!"

"We don't need much, we just want her to fulfill her basic filial duties. Is that wrong?"

The interview video, maliciously edited and accompanied by sensational headlines, quickly went viral online. The hashtag #InternetCelebrityRefusesToSupportElderly# trended on social media.

Unaware of the facts, netizens were misled, and the comment section was filled with insults. Some even started digging into Lin Xiaoman and Xiao Gu's past and attacking them. The account's backend was flooded with malicious private messages and insults.

The collaborating agency called immediately, their tone serious:

"Ms. Lin, you must resolve your personal family dispute immediately! The current public opinion is extremely unfavorable to you, and several brand partners you were in talks with have already indicated they will wait and see! If this continues to escalate, the commercial value of your account will be severely damaged!"

Lin Xiaoman gripped her phone, her fingertips growing cold. She didn't care about being criticized; making a living online was something she could do without anyway. But... what about Xiao Gu?

Xiao Gu put in countless hours of hard work for this account. She worked at the company during the day and often stayed up late at night editing and writing copy.

This is a business that the two of them have built up bit by bit. We can't let Xiao Gu's hard work go to waste because of her messy family affairs.

Looking at the vicious comments on her computer screen and the comforting messages from Xiao Gu, she felt powerless for the first time. She could fight against the specific malice, but she didn't know how to quickly quell this storm of public opinion.

Just as she was feeling upset, her phone screen lit up.

It is Lu Tingzhao.

"Xiaoman, I saw the news. Where are you now? Are you at home?"

"Um."

Lin Xiaoman responded with a soft voice.

"I'll be right there. Wait for me for twenty minutes."

Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang. Lin Xiaoman opened the door, and Lu Tingzhao stood outside, radiating cold air and carrying a thermal bag. He came in, took off his coat, and placed the thermal bag on the dining table.

"Xiaoman, eat something first, you don't look well."

As Lu Tingzhao spoke, he opened the insulated bag, which contained a steaming late-night snack.

He sat down in the chair opposite her, looking at her calmly:

"I understand the basic situation. Now, tell me, what do you need me to do?"

He paused, then offered two clear choices:

"I can arrange for lawyers and a public relations team to handle everything. You just need to cooperate and provide evidence, and you won't have to face these upsetting things anymore."

The man leaned forward slightly, his eyes sincere.

"Or Xiaoman, we can face this together. You take the lead, and I'll provide all the support and resources you need, but the final decision on every step, how to write the statement, and how to fight the lawsuit is up to you."

Lin Xiaoman looked into his calm eyes, which were filled with support and respect. Her heart, which had been in turmoil due to public opinion and the past, slowly calmed down.

She took a deep breath, her eyes regaining their resolve:

"I'm not afraid of them, nor am I afraid of lawsuits. But I need professional legal support, and I also need someone to help me quell the false rumors as soon as possible, so as not to affect Xiao Gu and our accounts."

She chose to face it together.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Lu Tingzhao's eyes, and he nodded:

"Okay. Jiang Yan and his team will hold an online meeting in ten minutes to handle your lawsuit. They will follow your wishes completely. The public relations director of Lu's Group will also join, but all external statements and channels will be released in your name or your account's name, and will be subject to your final confirmation."

Over the next few days, Lin Xiaoman witnessed firsthand what true efficiency and professionalism were.

Jiang Yan's legal team quickly compiled all the evidence:

The documents included her biological parents' abandonment certificate, legal documents terminating her adoption relationship with her adoptive parents, chat screenshots of her adoptive parents' extortion over the years, and proof of Lin Xiaoman's independent life and tax payment over the years.

The chain of evidence is complete and clear, and the other party's accusations are completely unfounded.

The PR team instructed Lin Xiaoman and Xiao Gu to publish a well-organized long article using their account, along with screenshots of key evidence.

The entire article avoids playing the victim or evoking emotions, calmly presenting the facts. At the same time, it uses authoritative media and legal bloggers to provide positive interpretations and guide public opinion.

Throughout the entire process, Lu Tingzhao consistently provided the fastest resource connections and resolved technical issues. He sat quietly by her side while she stayed up late to hold meetings with the team, never interfering with any of her decisions.

During this period, the statement submitted by the public relations team was too forceful in tone. Lin Xiaoman felt it was inappropriate and personally revised it into a more empathetic version. Lu Tingzhao only glanced at it before saying to the public relations director:

"Send it as Miss Lin ordered."
