The blind boss's nanny

His handsome face was turned toward the rising sun, and his voice was clear and bright:

"The first rule of the Lu family ancestral precepts...: Cultivate a kind heart and practice generosity."

After the opening ceremony, everyone moved to the dining hall for their meal.

Although the temple prepared vegetarian food, Lin Xiaoman and her family specially brought their own chef up the mountain to cook a separate meal in the side room.

"The food at this temple is so bland, it has absolutely no oil or fat!"

Lu Xingyuan barged into the room, shouting, his eyes suddenly lighting up.

"Hey, nanny, I've been looking for you everywhere! So you're here!"

He grinned and moved closer to Lin Xiaoman, who was setting out the dishes:

"Sister, can you feed me? Just like you feed my older brother..."

"Get lost."

As soon as Lu Tingzhou stepped into the room, he grabbed Lu Xingyuan by the collar and pulled him back without any politeness, his gaze unfriendly.

"If you harass her again, I'll throw you off the mountain."

Lu Xingyuan broke free from his hand:

"Second brother, what are you pretending to be so righteous for? Wasn't it you who was drinking with a model at the nightclub last time?"

Seeing Lu Tingzhou grab the teapot from the table, Lin Xiaoman was so frightened that she hid behind him.

Do you think I'm still as afraid of you as I was when I was a child?

Lu Xingyuan stiffened his neck,

"Go ahead and throw me back into the water if you dare!"

Feeling suppressed in front of Lin Xiaoman, the boy felt his face burning.

He was certain that with his parents and eldest brother present, his second brother would never dare to make a move.

The next second, Lu Tingzhou indeed put down the teapot, but gently pulled Lin Xiaoman to his side:

"Wasn't it him who made you sick for three days last time?"

Before Lin Xiaoman could answer, Lu Xingyuan was so anxious he jumped up and down.

"Lu Tingzhou, don't try to sow discord here!"

"Don't be afraid,"

Lu Tingzhou lowered his head and spoke softly to Lin Xiaoman.

"I'm in charge here today."

Lu Xingyuan sneered:

"Does he really think he's someone special? If it weren't for his current state..."

"How is it now?"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Tingzhou's eyes.

The boy suddenly fell silent, hastily trying to cover it up:

"It was those uncles and elders in the dining hall who said it! They said my eldest brother's eyes are ruined, and there's no hope for him anymore..."

Before he could finish speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Yuanbao rubbed nervously against Lu Tingzhao's trouser leg, while the man who had been sitting quietly slowly raised his head.

"They're right."

Lin Xiaoman's heart tightened; few people could accept such an evaluation so calmly.

But Lu Tingzhou was stung by those words.

He suddenly stood up and rushed outside without saying a word.

"Hey! Don't tell me I snitched!"

Lu Xingyuan was so anxious he was jumping up and down.

Lu Tingzhao immediately sensed something was wrong, turned his head and asked,

"What's wrong?"

Lin Xiaoman hurriedly reported.

"The second young master rushed out."

Lu Tingzhao made the decision almost immediately:

"Go and pull him back!"

Lin Xiaoman realized the seriousness of the situation from the man's expression.

Without a second's hesitation, she hurriedly chased after him.

She had just stepped out when she bumped right into Leng Feng. His solid chest made her nose sting, but Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to stop for a second.

"What happened?"

Leng Feng helped her up as she staggered.

"The chairman told me to win the second young master back!"

Leng Feng immediately pressed her to the spot:

"Damn, you can't stop him."

Lin Xiaoman paced anxiously at the door until she finally saw Leng Feng half-drag and half-carry Lu Tingzhou back.

Lu Tingzhou was disheveled at the moment, and was still struggling when Leng Feng forced him to sit in front of his brother.

"They were stopped at the entrance of the dining hall."

Leng Feng's aura was slightly disordered.

"A few seconds later, and the second young master would have barged in."

Lu Tingzhao slowly stood up. He refused Lin Xiaoman's offer to help him up, and placed his palms on the table, his knuckles turning white.

He accurately turned his face towards his younger brother, and although he couldn't see, Lu Tingzhou unconsciously lowered his head.

"Lu Tingzhou, who told you to run away on your own?"

These words were like ice cubes hitting the ground.

Lu Tingzhou ripped open his collar:

"What right do they have to say that about you!"

"So, you're going to cause a scene in the dining hall?"

Lu Tingzhao took a step forward, his expression calm:

"What kind of place is this, a place of peace and quiet? Are you trying to make a fool of the Lu family in front of outsiders?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it weighed heavily on everyone's hearts, and no one spoke again.

Yuanbao quickly ran between the two, anxiously looking back and forth.

"Big brother!"

Lu Tingzhou clenched his fist tightly.

"Ever since you injured your eye, those despicable people..."

"It's precisely because I am the way I am now,"

Lu Tingzhao interrupted him.

"You need to stay calm even more."

He gestured for Lin Xiaoman and Leng Feng to leave temporarily.

Seeing that things were not going well, Lu Xingyuan had already disappeared.

"Pour me a glass of water."

After saying this, Lu Tingzhao seemed to suddenly lose his strength and slowly sat back down in his chair.

Lu Tingzhou immediately tensed up:

"Brother, are you not feeling well?"

Even if it's uncomfortable,

Lu Tingzhao took the water glass.

"It's because of you that I got angry."

The room was silent for a few seconds.

"Brother, you know me."

Lu Tingzhou was silent for a few seconds.

"Brother, you know my personality. You shouldn't have put me in charge this time."

Lu Tingzhao knew his younger brother all too well.

As Aunt Mei said, none of the three Lu brothers are simple characters.

If we say that Lu Xingyuan, the youngest, is merely a superficial playboy and unruly, then...

So, Lu Tingzhou's true nature is the violence and ruthlessness hidden deep within his heart.

In order to suppress this natural instinct and for the long-term development of the family, Lu Tingzhao personally guided him towards scientific research.

I thought,

Lu Tingzhao took a sip of warm water.

"You've already smoothed out your rough edges."

Yuanbao rested his head on his lap uneasily.

"I also thought... I had been worn down long ago."

Lu Tingzhou's voice was very soft.

After breaking up with his first love, his older brother built this manor specifically to keep him from leaving home.

Over the years, Lu Tingzhao has cleaned up countless messes for him, which has led to the composed scientist he is known to outsiders today.

But only Lu Tingzhou himself knew what an empty heart was hidden inside this seemingly calm exterior.

That pure and passionate heart had already been riddled with holes when her father, still on his sickbed, witnessed her mother and her uncle having an affair.

Now, he can face tedious experimental data during the day, but at night he has to rely on alcohol and lust to numb himself.

For a long time, he couldn't feel real pain, nor could he experience real happiness.

The only thing that could still stir his emotions was the person in front of him—

His older brother.

No one can slander him, and no one is allowed to harm him.

Lu Tingzhao tilted his head slightly.

"Tingzhou."

His voice was very steady.

"I have made all the preparations for coming here today, to face my entire family and all the reporters outside."

"After today, everyone will know that I, Lu Tingzhao, am now blind."

"This was something I was most afraid of facing... but now I don't think it's that difficult."

For some reason, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiaoman's image suddenly appeared in Lu Tingzhao's mind.

To be precise, it's not a shadow.

After all, he still doesn't know what she looks like.
