The blind boss's nanny

He pointed at Lin Xiaoman.

"Lin Xiaoman! Do you believe I can sue you until you're bankrupt!"

Lin Xiaoman stepped forward, seemingly just to argue with him, but her heel slammed hard into the tip of Lin Langqing's shiny leather shoe!

"Awooo—!"

Caught off guard, Lin Langqing screamed in pain and instinctively tried to bend over to cover his foot.

While taking care of the picky chairman at the Lu family home, she learned a great deal, such as self-defense techniques for women that she learned from Leng Feng.

How does Lin Xiaoman manage to make people uncomfortable without making a sound? She's really good at it now!

Taking advantage of Lin Langqing's momentary loss of balance while bending over, she swiftly raised her arm and slammed her elbow into his chest!

"Well!"

Lin Langqing couldn't catch his breath, and his cry of pain was choked in his throat. He staggered and fell backward.

Lin Xiaoman (inner monologue): Yuanbao, I'm sorry, but I'm just borrowing your signature move!

Lin Langqing frantically tried to grab something to steady herself, but Lin Xiaoman, quick-witted and agile, mimicked Yuanbao's usual tripping technique, and quietly hooked her foot with hers...

"Clang!"

Lin Langqing completely lost his balance and fell hard on the ground, looking extremely disheveled, his suit crumpled into a ball.

Lin Xiaoman looked down at him, clapped her hands, and spoke in a relaxed yet utterly sarcastic tone:

"Lin Langqing, it seems you're not only dim-witted, but also lack basic agility. With your meager abilities, you dare to look down on others like that? From now on, when you see me, please take a detour, or else..."

She wiggled the foot that had just committed the "crime," and smiled slyly, "My 'crooked tricks' won't be so discreet next time."

After saying that, she didn't give Lin Langqing a chance to react at all. She tossed her hair gracefully, opened the conference room door, and walked out with her head held high.

Lin Langqing was left alone on the ground, grimacing with shame and anger, but he didn't even have the strength to get up.

"Lin Xiaoman! I won't let you get away with this!"

He was panting heavily, and though his words were fierce, he was actually quite weak, as he shouted towards the door.

"Your actions are all on the surveillance footage! You just wait!"

Lin Xiaoman, who had already reached the door, paused, but didn't turn around. She simply tossed out a casual remark:

"Oh? Why don't you look up and take a look?"

Lin Langqing subconsciously looked up... The spherical camera on the ceiling, which should have been flashing a red indicator light, was now completely black, having stopped working sometime ago.

His heart sank, but he was still unwilling to give up. Pointing at the group of people at the door who seemed to enjoy the spectacle, he struggled to say:

"I...I have so many witnesses present!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tingxi immediately turned his head as if nothing had happened, focusing intently on studying the abstract paintings on the corridor wall, as if he had suddenly discovered some profound artistic truth:

"Wow, this painting is really nice. I didn't see anything at all."

Lu Tingzhou, standing beside her, was even more straightforward, replying expressionlessly:

"I suddenly remembered, I have something to do."

After saying that, he turned and left, as fast as if he were fleeing a crime scene.

Qin Xiu, who was not far away, coughed lightly, silently took out his phone and began to "seriously" deal with emails, looking like a "workaholic just passing by".

Lin Langqing looked at this group of people, who were blatantly "collectively blind," and felt a lump in his throat, almost fainting.

Ten minutes later, Lin Xiaoman was surrounded and interrogated by three people. She forced herself to admit that she had been dismissed by Lu Tingzhao.

"What?! You're no longer working for my older brother?!"

Lu Tingzhou and Lu Tingxi exclaimed in almost unison, their faces filled with disbelief.

Only Qin Xiu, who was standing to the side, did not react at all.

Lin Xiaoman was startled by the unanimous questioning. She shrugged slightly and nodded weakly.

"Is it because he always forces you to take online classes? He makes you study endlessly?"

Lu Tingxi was the first to step forward, with an "I understand you" expression on his face, and began to berate his older brother.

"My older brother has this problem; he's very controlling. He wants everyone around him to join him in, and I can't stand that about him! Is that why... you couldn't take it anymore and left?"

Lu Tingzhou remained silent, staring intently at Lin Xiaoman's face, keenly catching the fleeting grievance and confusion in her eyes.

He roughly guessed what had happened... It must be his older brother's damn pride and stubborn temper acting up again.

Knowing that the nanny he had been working with every day was a young and beautiful girl, he felt deceived and couldn't save face, so he kicked her out directly?

Brother, you're so clueless! Wouldn't it be better to just recruit them directly?

Lin Xiaoman was made even more embarrassed by Lu Tingxi's guess, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

She discovered that she got along surprisingly well with everyone in the Lu family, from her research brother to her CEO sister, and even the little dog. The only one whose relationship with her actual employer was a complete mess.

Standing under their concerned gazes, she opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain why she had been driven away.

In fact, even now she still can't understand why Lu Tingzhao got so angry.

Her gaze wandered unconsciously, and she began to take in her surroundings.

It was only then that she belatedly noticed that the "Tianze Group" logo and lettering were everywhere in her line of sight.

A piece of information she had ignored for a long time suddenly popped into her mind—Tianze Group was the business empire founded by Lu Tingzhao!

Having been by his side for so long, it's only now that I'm making sense of it all!

Although Lu Tingzhao involved her in translating core documents, giving her a glimpse into his business, he never mentioned anything about the company to her.

Looking back now, it's perfectly normal... She was just a maid he hired, why would he need to explain these things to her?

But this incident instantly unlocked another memory.

For many years, the mysterious and kind-hearted person who has donated the most and most consistently to the "Sunshine Home" orphanage has been the source of strength that has supported the children through difficult times...

That's Lu Tingzhao.

When the Lu siblings said goodbye to Lin Xiaoman, they exchanged contact information.

"Keep in touch when you have time."

Lu Tingxi smiled and patted Lin Xiaoman on the shoulder.

Lin Xiaoman nodded, but she knew very well that it was just a polite remark.

How could a lowly nanny like her, dismissed from the Lu family, possibly have frequent contact with these two privileged individuals?

However, as soon as she left Tianze Group, Lu Tingxi immediately stopped smiling, crossed his arms, and looked at Qin Xiu:

"Tell me, who's taking care of my older brother right now?"

There was no need to guess; Lu Tingxi could tell from Qin Xiu's calm expression that he was fully aware of the matter.
