The blind boss's nanny

Lu Tingzhou listened quietly, and when he heard "buy the copyright" and "get angry for no reason," the corners of his usually expressionless face curved upwards, and he smiled knowingly with a hint of amusement.

"Lin Xiaoman,"

He suddenly spoke, his voice calm.

"How about we make a deal?"

Alarm bells rang in Lin Xiaoman's mind, and she blurted out almost without thinking:

"don't want!"

Lu Tingzhou raised an eyebrow:

"I haven't even explained what kind of deal it is, and you're already refusing?"

"I don't really like the word 'trade'."

Lin Xiaoman took a half step back, her eyes filled with vigilance, especially towards the men of the Lu family.

She doesn't make deals with the "devil".

Lu Tingzhou looked at her more intently, his gaze deepening.

He twitched his eyebrows slightly.

"Then I can only tell you... the truth..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The next second, Lin Xiaoman's reaction completely exceeded Lu Tingzhou's expectations.

She suddenly raised her hands and covered her ears tightly!

"I don't want to hear it!"

She didn't want to know anything about the Lu family or Lu Tingzhao.

She didn't want to get involved anymore, didn't want to hear any more news about him, and didn't want to keep thinking about him.

The evening breeze swept through, stirring up the fallen leaves on the ground.

Lu Tingzhou looked at the woman in front of him, who was protecting him in the most clumsy way, and fell silent.

After a long while, he finally let out a soft sigh.

"never mind."

He opened the car door, his voice regaining its usual calmness.

"Get in the car, I'll take you home."

The car had barely driven a kilometer out of the manor when Lu Tingzhou glanced at Lin Xiaoman in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"actually,"

He suddenly spoke, his tone casual.

Lin Xiaoman didn't say anything, but her ears perked up quietly.

"My older brother's temper isn't entirely his fault."

Lu Tingzhou held the steering wheel with one hand.

"During the surgery for the car accident... the doctors removed a small piece of his brain."

"What?!"

Lin Xiaoman immediately turned her head, her eyes wide open.

"real."

Lu Tingzhou remained unfazed.

"It's in the frontal lobe, near the prefrontal cortex."

"What does that mean?"

"It means,"

He looked down at her, his voice low and deep:

"His emotional control, judgment, and some social cognition... have been permanently damaged. Medically, this can sometimes lead to irritability, paranoia, emotional apathy, or... like him, being moody and unpredictable."

Lin Xiaoman's expression shifted from shock to bewilderment, and finally settled on a look of sudden realization:

"So... he wasn't being deliberately harsh?"

"He does want to control it,"

Lu Tingzhou sighed; his acting was natural.

"But the hardware won't allow it. Right now, the part of his brain that controls emotions is like an old-fashioned radio, the signal is intermittent."

The metaphor was so vivid that Lin Xiaoman immediately pictured Lu Tingzhao throwing a tantrum with his head full of static.

"Then... what should we do?"

Her tone had shifted from anger to sympathy.

"The doctor said that I need a stable environment and familiar caregivers."

Lu Tingzhou, at that opportune moment, revealed an expression of utter helplessness.

"But as you've seen, we've changed so many nannies this month, and none of them lasted more than a week."

He paused, carefully observing Lin Xiaoman's expression in the rearview mirror:

"Until you came along. You were the only one he could barely 'receive' a stable signal from."

Lin Xiaoman was moved by the word "only," but she still retained a sliver of reason:

"But...but..."

Lu Tingzhou slowly pulled the car to the side of the road, turned around, and looked sincere.

"In that case, as long as you are willing to go back and continue to take care of him, I will help you solve your visa problem."

"In addition to your previous compensation, I will personally pay you an extra salary of the same amount."

Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up instantly.

This offer is simply too tempting to refuse.

"and,"

Lu Tingzhou added insult to injury, his tone heavy.

"Can you really bear to see a disabled person with a missing piece of their brain get headaches from the new caregiver every day? What if they get seriously injured from all that trouble..."

The imagery was so vivid. Lin Xiaoman could already picture Lu Tingzhao being driven mad by the clumsy nanny.

Lin Xiaoman remained silent for a long time.

She recalled that on the donation list for Sunshine Home, Lu Tingzhao's Tianze Group was always ranked first.

I remember Yuanbao's wet eyes, and I remember Azhe's quiet profile as he built Lego...

She gritted her teeth and stomped her foot:

"OK!"

"make a deal."

Lu Tingzhou's lips curved into a smile.

The next second, the black sedan drew a beautiful U-shaped arc on the empty auxiliary road, turned 180 degrees, and drove back the way it came.

Looking out the window at the familiar scenery rushing past and then approaching again, Lin Xiaoman suddenly felt like she had boarded a pirate ship.

"etc,"

She belatedly frowned.

Can brain tissue grow back after being removed?

Lu Tingzhou remained unfazed:

"There's a promising new stem cell technology. So we need to provide him with a good recovery environment."

He spoke with such certainty that Lin Xiaoman's doubts were suppressed once again.

She leaned back in her chair, gazing at the manor lights drawing ever closer, and let out a long sigh.

Never mind, let's just consider it a charity donation.

Taking care of a hapless chairman who's missing a piece of his brain is better than sleeping on the streets.

What she didn't see was a triumphant smile flashing in Lu Tingzhou's eyes from the driver's seat.

The car drove back through the manor gate, where the lights in the main house remained warm.

Lin Xiaoman pushed open the car door, took a deep breath, and felt like a brave warrior going to her death.

—For the visa, for the kindness of "Sunshine Home", and also for... that "brain-deficient" patient who might really not be able to control his temper.

She walked with a solemn and tragic gait toward the main house.

The night was gentle, and the manor was serene.

Only Lu Tingzhao, who was completely unaware of this in the study on the second floor, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

Before entering, Lu Tingzhou, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and, in a tone that was a mixture of seriousness, earnestness, and a desire for secrecy that "only heaven, earth, you, and I know," lowered his voice and said:

"There is something that is of utmost importance."

Lin Xiaoman immediately straightened her back and adopted a focused expression, listening attentively.

"Regarding my older brother... 'that situation'," Lu Tingzhou lightly tapped his temple with his finger, his tone suggestive.

"Absolutely not, let him know himself."

Lin Xiaoman suddenly realized, her eyes widened instantly, and she nodded vigorously, her face filled with the solemn expression of "I understand, I understand everything".

She even held up three fingers and solemnly placed them near her ear:

"Understood! Taking care of the patient's emotional well-being is the top priority, I understand that!"
