I'm Not Blind

The person had walked away.

Inside the office,

only Shen Manni remained.

Her eyes were icy cold. So what if Xu Mo and the others had left?

Before leaving, they even deliberately flaunted their relationship!

Disgusting!

She found it utterly revolting!

Absolutely nauseating!

Did they think she was an easy target?

"Zhou Qiaoqiao, since you’ve chosen to be ruthless, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

Knock, knock, knock—

"Sweetheart, sweetheart."

"Come in."

Shen Manni forced herself to regain some composure.

"Dad, what are you here for? Is something wrong?"

"My dear, your dad is useless. I couldn’t buy you more time."

Shen Cheng’s face flushed with embarrassment as he walked in, speaking apologetically.

Shen Manni immediately stood up, retorting, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

A father knows his daughter best.

How could Old Shen not understand Young Shen’s thoughts?

Thinking back to the old days,

Old Shen himself had been pursued by many women from third- and fourth-tier families.

Some of them were quite remarkable.

It’s only after missing out that one realizes regret.

Forget about eternal love.

Even just a fleeting moment of passion

would have been worth it.

Cough, cough, cough—

"My dear, 'Rome wasn’t built in a day.' Xu Mo has been pursuing you for so long. If he suddenly stopped, he might just be throwing a tantrum."

"Let’s take a step back. Even if he’s not throwing a tantrum, he did like you at one point. He still has some feelings for you."

"Even if he doesn’t… oh, that’s impossible!"

"What I mean is, we should lower our guard, lower our guard."

"He’s been chasing you for so long. It’s not fair to keep him hanging. It’s time for us to take the initiative."

Shen Cheng had transformed into a love guru,

imparting his wisdom to Shen Manni in an endless stream.

By the end,

he was even using his own life experiences and insights

to deeply analyze

what Xu Mo might be thinking,

further helping his daughter tailor her approach.

By the time Shen Cheng finished, he had moved himself to tears.

Whether or not he moved Shen Manni was another matter,

but he had certainly moved himself!

Old Shen thought that if he were a woman,

at the same age,

he could absolutely dominate men of his generation.

With just a few tricks,

and the proper application of the Thirty-Six Stratagems,

what high-quality man couldn’t he snag?

Wouldn’t it just be a matter of picking and choosing?

Facing her tea-sipping, overly dramatic father,

Shen Manni was on the verge of losing it.

Not to mention,

your daughter can literally hear people’s thoughts!!!!

Dad, you’re wrong again.

Xu Mo has been deceiving you all along.

He never liked me.

If you could hear his thoughts,

you’d be so angry you’d want to hit someone.

Shen Manni sighed helplessly in her heart.

She let out a long, melancholic sigh.

"Ah… alright, alright, Dad, just go out for now."

"I need some time alone."

Shen Cheng was just getting into the groove,

feeling a sense of frustration, as if his daughter was wasting her potential!

He even wished he could step in himself,

charm and deceive Xu Mo,

and then hand him over to Shen Manni to deal with.

"Cough, cough, cough…"

Shen Cheng choked and coughed a few times.

"Sweetheart, my methods are foolproof. Why don’t you give it a try? I guarantee it’ll work."

"Dad!" Shen Manni raised her voice slightly.

Old Shen forced a bitter smile.

Ah… young people, always prioritizing pride over practicality.

Pride isn’t substance.

Substance is what truly matters.

Pride is just an illusion.

It’s something you only understand with age.

"Fine, I’ll leave. I won’t disturb you anymore."

After Old Shen left,

Shen Manni leaned back in her executive chair, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, on the other side,

at the Gao family villa,

Gao Liming’s arm injury hadn’t fully healed yet,

but that didn’t stop him from playing games with one hand.

He was thoroughly engrossed in his game

when a maid knocked on the door.

"Young Master, someone is here to see you."

"Ah—hey hey—big bro, don’t kill me, don’t finish me off. I’ll give you all my gear, please don’t—ah—it’s over!"

As Gao Liming’s panicked voice rang out,

the computer screen dutifully dimmed.

The page displayed that his character had been eliminated!

"Damn it! I’m not seeing anyone, no matter who it is!"

Gao Liming said angrily.

"You little brat, looking for a beating, aren’t you? Come out here, and I’ll smash your stupid head in!"

A woman’s voice came from outside the door.

The voice sounded familiar to Gao Liming,

as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"Ah, Miss, didn’t we agree you’d wait in the living room?"

"Enough nonsense, tell that little brat Gao Liming to get his ass out here!"

"What are you all—what are you even doing here? Why didn’t you stop her?"

Chaos erupted outside the door.

The constant use of "little brat"

could only mean one person.

Gao Liming shuddered, his small frame already trembling.

His high-tech gadgets

were nothing in front of that woman!

If she wanted to,

his high-tech weapons could be hacked and turned against him,

and Gao Liming wouldn’t even be surprised!

"Gasp!!!! The crazy woman is back."

Gao Liming swallowed hard,

hurriedly running to open the door on his short legs.

Outside stood a woman wearing a mask and oversized sunglasses.

She was wrapped up so tightly

that one might mistake her for a celebrity.

Meanwhile, a few security guards were trying to grab her.

Cold sweat broke out on Gao Liming’s forehead as he quickly intervened.

"Stop! All of you, stop!"

The guards immediately halted.

Gao Liming breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it.

That was close.

Almost a case of friendly fire.

"You little brat, you’ve got some nerve, huh?"

"Blocking me like that."

The heavily disguised woman patted her chest, pretending to be frightened.

She was ready to settle old and new scores.

Gao Liming’s face fell. "Ah, no, I didn’t! You can’t blame me for this!"

The maids and guards finally understood.

This was someone the young master knew!

Alright then.

They dispersed as they should.

"Hey, go get me some soda and chips from the fridge. The soda has to be ice-cold! And the chips should be lime-flavored. Oh, and some spicy chicken feet too."

"If the fridge doesn’t have them, go out and buy them."

The heavily disguised woman instructed.

The maid and guards nearly tripped over themselves.

Who did this woman think she was?

Treating this place like her own home?

Seeing their hesitation,

Gao Liming gritted his teeth. "Do as she says. Whatever she wants, give it to her. Make sure all her demands are met!"

They might not listen to the woman,

but they couldn’t ignore Gao Liming’s orders.

Once everyone had left,

the heavily disguised woman glanced at him, teasingly saying,

"Well, well, little brat, you’ve learned some manners, huh?"

"Not bad, not bad. You’ve grown up quite a bit over the years."

After a pause, the woman finally noticed Gao Liming’s injury.

"Huh? What happened to your arm?"

"Sis, you just noticed now?"

Gao Liming said, exasperated.

His sister was a genius, but also

a bit of an airhead.

At least, that’s how Gao Liming saw it.

Gao Liyuan smirked. "Hmph—what do you mean 'just noticed'? I’m not blind."

Gao Liming: ?????

Why did I end up with a sister like you?

Just kill me already.

Gao Liming felt that if this conversation continued, he might die of frustration.

"Let’s talk inside."

Gao Liyuan took off her sunglasses and mask, stepping into the room.

Goodnight~~
