The blind boss's nanny

Zhuang Guangyao spat, his eyes fixed on Lin Xiaoman with venomous resentment:

"Big internet celebrity, rich woman! Look at this New Year's Eve dinner, quite the spectacle! You're living the high life, while my parents are still in detention on New Year's Eve this year! All because of you!"

"That was their own slander and fabrication, a violation of the law, and they have only themselves to blame!"

Lin Xiaoman did not back down, her voice cold and clear.

"fart!"

Zhuang Guangyao's eyes were bloodshot, and he waved his hand.

"Smash it! Smash her house to pieces!"

A few thugs grinned and were about to step forward.

at this time,

"Oh, who do we have here?"

A lazy voice rang out.

Lu Tingzhou leisurely pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, then casually tossed it aside, where it landed at Zhuang Guangyao's feet.

He walked unsteadily to the group of thugs, hands in his pockets, tilting his head and looking Zhuang Guangyao up and down with his multicolored hair.

"Little friend, your hairstyle... is quite unique. Are you worried that if you cause a hit-and-run, the police won't be able to find you in a crowd?"

Zhuang Guangyao was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage:

"Who the hell are you?! Mind your own business!"

"Mind your own business?"

Lu Tingzhou smiled.

"You smashed my sister-in-law's furniture and scared my brother's dog in my... sister-in-law's house. How can you call that a trivial matter?"

The next second, he suddenly reached out and snatched a steel pipe from a thug next to him, weighed it in his hand, and then casually threw it out the door with a "bang".

Thug: ???

My weapon!

"It's so noisy! Can't a person eat in peace?!"

Lu Tingxi slammed down her chopsticks, her spoiled princess temper flaring up. She stood up, walked over to Zhuang Guangyao, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, her eyes filled with disgust and impatience.

"Your parents went in because they were stupid, what does that have to do with Xiaoman? You're incompetent and all you do is harass women, is that all you're good for?"

Her tone was sarcastic and incredibly hurtful.

"Bringing this bunch of scrawny bastards here? What, do you think you're acting in a gangster movie? How tacky!"

The group of thugs cursed and tried to step forward, but Qin Xiu blocked them.

"Xingyuan,"

Lu Tingzhou suddenly spoke,

"You recently... didn't you just get a ticket to the city-level youth freestyle fighting competition? These guys in front of you, although their skills are a bit lacking, should be okay for practicing against."

Lu Xingyuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

"Second brother! That makes sense!"

He cracked his neck and grinned at the group of thugs:

"Hey, you and your buddy, wanna spar with me for a few rounds? If you win, I'll reimburse you... um, your medical expenses?"

Zhuang Guangyao and his thugs were bewildered by this scene.

These people are all stranger than the last, and none of them seem normal! Shouldn't someone who's causing trouble be begging for mercy? Why does it seem like... they've fallen into some strange trap themselves?

"Qin Xiu".

Lu Tingzhao finally spoke. He remained seated at the head of the table, slowly took a sip of soup, and then looked up, his gaze calmly sweeping over the group of people at the door.

With just one glance, Zhuang Guangyao felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

"Call the police."

"It's already been reported, Chairman."

Qin Xiu shook his phone; the screen showed that he was on a call.

"Three minutes ago, I already stated that there was armed trespassing and intentional damage to property here. The police said they would be there in five minutes."

Zhuang Guangyao's face turned completely pale. He hadn't expected these people to be so fearless, and these individuals... each one looked like someone not to be trifled with.

Lu Tingzhao put down the soup bowl, picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, and then slowly walked to Lin Xiaoman's side. He casually patted her back, then looked at Zhuang Guangyao:

"Breaking into a private residence, threatening others with weapons, and intentionally damaging other people's property are all offenses and should be punished concurrently."

"It looks like your parents will be spending their Lunar New Year's Eve inside. And you'll soon be able to join them."

Lu Tingzhao then added,

"In the detention center, they should cut your hair into a uniform style."

Zhuang Guangyao's legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. Seeing that things were not going well, the thugs behind him turned around and tried to run away, but they were blocked by Lu Xingyuan, who was blocking the door, and Lu Tingzhou, who had a "come and have some fun" smile on his face.

Downstairs, the faint sound of police sirens could be heard.

The chaotic New Year's Eve dinner ended with Zhuang Guangyao and his gang being taken away by the police.

The room fell silent again. Lin Xiaoman looked at the mess in front of her, her heart churning with emotion.

Lu Xingyuan was checking if Yuanbao and Yuanman were frightened, Lu Tingzhou was kicking away the broken glass at his feet in disgust, Lu Tingxi frowned and asked Qin Xiu to find someone to redo the renovations tomorrow, while Lu Tingzhao...

He was squatting on the ground, carefully picking up a group photo that had been swept off the ground, gently wiping away the dust with his sleeve, and then solemnly putting it back in its original place.

That was the only photo of Lin Xiaoman and her grandmother when she was a child.

"Xiaoman, it's alright now."

He stood up, looked at her, his gaze gentle yet firm.

Lin Xiaoman's nose suddenly stung with tears.

She took a deep breath and turned to face the group of people in the living room. Her gaze swept over Lu Xingyuan, Lu Tingzhou, and Lu Tingxi, finally settling on Qin Xiu and Lu Tingzhao, before she solemnly bowed:

"Thank you. Thank you so much.

As she straightened up, her face was filled with deep remorse.

"I'm so sorry, we've ruined what should have been a happy New Year's Eve... I've spoiled everyone's fun."

The meal was definitely inedible; the dishes were mixed with shards of glass, a complete mess.

"What's the big deal!"

Lu Xingyuan was the first to jump out, waving his hand dismissively.

"Xiaoman, don't take it to heart. Just think of it as watching a real-life action movie, how exciting! Still hungry? No problem! My brother's farm kitchen is on call 24/7, a Michelin-starred chef is available anytime! Let's move on to another spot and keep the fun going!"

Lu Tingxi was more perceptive; she noticed Lin Xiaoman's low spirits. She stepped forward and gently took Lin Xiaoman's slightly cool hand:

"Xiaoman, don't think so much. It's too messy here to stay. Let's go back to the manor. Big brother prepared a lot of fireworks this year, they're very beautiful. They're not allowed to be set off in the city. Let's go back and have a lively New Year's Eve celebration, and forget all the unpleasantness from earlier, okay?"

Lu Xingyuan immediately chimed in:

"Yes, yes, yes! Huge fireworks! And those handheld sparklers! They're so much fun! You can't play with them in the city!"

Lu Tingzhao looked quietly at Lin Xiaoman, and first addressed his younger siblings:

"Take Yuanbao and Yuanman back first and prepare the fireworks."

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Xingyuan greeted the two dogs with a grin.

Qin Xiu had already dialed a phone number from the side:

"Yes, the address is... tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. It needs deep cleaning and quick spot repairs. I'll send you a list of all damaged items later. Payment will be made through my personal account."

The group acted swiftly, and soon they left with the dogs, leaving the two people inside the house alone.
