The blind boss's nanny

He even casually spread his hands, shrugged, and spoke with an air of certainty:

"So what do you want?"

He knew the old Lin Xiaoman too well—soft-hearted, nostalgic, and always habitually considerate of others.

When he maxed out her credit card and even dated other people behind her back, she just left silently without saying a harsh word.

He was certain that this once docile kitten, even if it showed its claws, would never dare to actually scratch him.

But he was wrong.

That's completely wrong.

"Lin Langqing, why are you always so arrogant?"

Lin Xiaoman slightly raised her chin, a gesture that made Lin Langqing feel as if she had become a different person.

"I, Lin Xiaoman, have said that once I've told you to get out of my world, I'll never have anything to do with you again! I'm here today to handle important personal matters for my employer, and you—"

Her gaze was like a cold needle, piercing Lin Langqing so much that he instinctively wanted to back away.

"Yet, because of your own personal grudges, you have repeatedly obstructed me and delayed important matters. That's despicable!"

Lin Langqing was forced to take a half step back, feeling somewhat embarrassed. His pitiful sense of guilt was quickly replaced by anger and embarrassment.

"You make it sound so high and mighty, what employer?"

He deliberately turned up the volume, as if he wanted everyone outside the door to hear.

"Isn't all you do is work as a nanny for people? Now you're working as a nanny for Jiang Lu's mistress—"

He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, looking Lin Xiaoman up and down with disdain in his eyes:

"I knew you'd always be so short-sighted, only ever seeing the petty gains right in front of you..."

Lin Xiaoman bit her lower lip, leaving a faint mark on her lips with her pearly teeth.

His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched unconsciously, his nails digging deep into his palms. Only in this way could he suppress the urge to punch him on the spot.

Seeing her silence, Lin Langqing became even more smug, thinking he had found her weakness:

"Judging from what our CEO Lu just said, you were working at her house not long ago?"

He raised an eyebrow as if suddenly realizing something, then gave a mocking smile.

"No wonder, Engineer Lu and Assistant Qin know you."

He leaned back against the conference table, his posture regaining its superior air:

"You're just a nanny."

He said lightly,

"I'm different from you. I've said it before, you have no career plan. How long can you be a nanny? Ten years from now, will you still be—"

"Shut up!"

Lin Xiaoman suddenly raised her head, and her eyes, which were always smiling, were now burning with a cold flame, causing Lin Langqing to subconsciously stop what he was about to say.

"You said I could,"

She took a step forward, her voice trembling with suppressed emotion.

"But who do you think you are, my employer?"

She raised her hand and pointed directly at Lin Langqing's nose, each word spoken with resounding force:

"Someone who got into Tianze through nepotism has no right to maliciously speculate about others. Just because of your..."

Her gaze swept over his meticulously styled hair.

"...A head full of junk?"

Lin Langqing snorted coldly.

"Lin Xiaoman, that's enough! Even if I was a bit harsh just now, do you have to keep bringing it up? And was I wrong? You're just an ordinary college graduate; if you hadn't...had to rely on some shady methods, how could you possibly know someone like our CEO Lu!"

His scrutinizing gaze swept over her, full of implications.

That one sentence completely ignited the powder keg in Lin Xiaoman's heart!

crooked ways? Fine, today I'll show you just how powerful these "crooked ways" you're talking about really are!

After Lin Xiaoman finished speaking, she unexpectedly did not immediately lash out. Instead, she turned around abruptly and walked straight towards the conference room door.

Seeing this, Lin Langqing thought that she had finally chickened out and didn't dare to make a big fuss on someone else's turf.

He felt a sense of relief, and that feeling of superiority resurfaced. He deliberately dragged out his words, speaking in a sarcastic tone:

"Oh, you're leaving so soon?"

Lin Xiaoman completely ignored his sarcasm.

She yanked open the heavy conference room door...

The next second, the scene outside the door made her freeze in place.

Lu Tingzhou and his sister Lu Tingxi were pressed against the door in a perfectly synchronized, forward-leaning posture...

The door was suddenly opened from the inside, catching the two off guard. They almost fell in together, and only managed to steady themselves in a flurry of activity.

Qin Xiu, standing not far away, silently raised his hand to cover his face, his shoulders twitching slightly. Clearly, he had already warned them, but hadn't been able to stop these two who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold.

The air froze for a second.

Lin Xiaoman blinked, somewhat bewildered:

"Mr. Lu... Second Young Master... what's going on here...?"

Lu Tingxi, as expected of someone accustomed to grand occasions, quickly straightened up, casually adjusted her skirt, and tried to salvage her composure:

"It's nothing, I was just passing by. Do you... need any help?"

Her eyes, however, clearly flashed with accusation: "You didn't invite me to watch the show."

Lin Xiaoman instantly understood, and a brilliant idea came to her mind.

She shook her head, then asked in a very serious, low voice:

"Mr. Lu, if I may ask, do you have... you know... places without surveillance cameras here?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingxi was taken aback at first, then a knowing smile appeared on his lips, and he answered decisively:

"It's not here!"

Lin Xiaoman subconsciously looked up at the conspicuous spherical camera on the ceiling, its red light flashing, directly facing the conference room door. Her lips twitched slightly.

"Um... are you sure?"

Lu Tingxi remained expressionless, even displaying a certain confidence, and said in a lower voice:

"I said no, and that means no."

After saying that, she winked quickly at Lin Xiaoman, conveying a "you know what I mean" signal.

Qin Xiu, listening to this blatant "calling a deer a horse," couldn't help but facepalm and began to think about how to "handle" this surveillance footage.

Lin Xiaoman was completely relieved to receive this "official certification".

She gave Lu Tingxi a look that said, "Got it, watch me," then turned around abruptly, stretched her wrists, and walked toward Lin Langqing, who was still confused about the situation in the conference room.

At this moment, Lin Langqing looked at Lin Xiaoman who had returned, and the forced relaxed smile on his face finally froze.

"Xiaoman, is there anything else?"

Lin Xiaoman's smile remained unchanged, but she suddenly slapped Lin Langqing.

Lin Langqing looked at her in disbelief.

"How dare you hit me!?"
