Reborn with the ability to read minds, I became a heartthrob.

"Boss, I've cleared everything out of the chairman's office. A cleaning team will be here this afternoon to do a thorough cleaning," Liu Jianshe's enthusiastic voice came through the microphone.

Zhou Liwan followed the housekeeper for a walk near Yaohe Mountain. The air in the mountains was very fresh, and it wasn't as hot as in the city.

There is also an orchard to the north of the Jiang family's old house. According to the housekeeper, it is an open orchard, and you can smell a strong peach fragrance even before you get close.

Zhou Liwan unconsciously changed her mind; she really had no resistance to peaches.

The call continued, and Zhou Liwan was fairly satisfied with Liu Jianshe's progress: "Not bad, you really didn't disappoint me. Okay, I'll stop here for now, you can go and get busy."

Zhou Liwan knew that if he were just a little more polite, he would be overjoyed and work even harder.

As expected, after receiving confirmation, the person on the other end of the line trembled slightly and excitedly expressed a series of words that they would definitely not let him down before slowly hanging up the phone.

The butler was only ten years younger than Old Master Jiang, and he had dedicated almost his entire life to the Jiang family.

He looked at Zhou Liwan with kind eyes as she hung up the phone and said happily, "Miss Wanwan has really grown up. She can stand on her own now. Think back to when you first came back, you were so timid and could hardly be separated from your family. Even your maternal grandfather and father didn't recognize you. You had to hold a little boy who came back with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Liwan immediately turned around, nervously grabbing the butler's arm, her eyes filled with urgency: "Uncle Butler, do you know Brother Tiger Tooth? Do you know where he is now? Why haven't I seen him since I woke up in the hospital?"

It has indeed been quite a while. The butler was just following behind the master back then, and he didn't know much about the specifics. He could only reply apologetically.

"You had just returned from the police station, covered in injuries, and already very weak due to long-term malnutrition. You fainted because you kept crying. When you were taken to the hospital, the boy was still there, but everyone was in such a panic at the hospital that no one noticed..."

Seeing Zhou Liwan dejectedly lower her hand, the butler regretted even more that he hadn't paid more attention, even though he knew she was the young lady's benefactor: "Miss, I'm sorry, I..."

Zhou Liwan forced a smile and comforted him, "This has nothing to do with you, Uncle. Maybe Brother Huya is destined to only accompany me for a short while."

Zhou Liwan continued walking along the narrow path. A gentle breeze seemed to slowly dispel the blurred image of the face etched deep in her mind.

As they approached the orchard, Zhou Liwan spotted another household.

Unlike the Jiang family's house, this one is a typical example of Neo-European architectural style.

It's easy to tell from the white European-style fence at the entrance that there's a large fountain in front of the house. Looking further inside, you can see that there's a large fountain in front of the house.

At this moment, a beautiful rainbow appeared above the fountain, refracted by the sun.

"You brat, you stop right there! I'll break your legs today!" A rough roar suddenly erupted from inside.

Before Zhou Liwan could react, the walnut-colored door of the building inside was suddenly opened from the inside.

A black figure darted out like a leopard.

A large group of people dressed in black followed behind them...

As the crowd drew closer, Zhou Liwan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, momentarily wondering if there was something wrong with her eyes, and subconsciously rubbed them.

Looking up again, a large group of burly men dressed in black maid outfits were chasing after the black-clad boy at breakneck speed.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses and carrying a riding crop followed behind.

Even if Zhou Liwan had lived two lifetimes, she had never seen such a scene before.

I forgot to dodge for a moment.

When the boy saw Zhou Liwan, a glint of light flashed in his beautiful phoenix eyes, and a sly smile appeared on his lips.

The next second, he pulled Zhou Liwan close and shielded her in front of him.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards who had been following Zhou Liwan quickly formed a circle around her on both sides.

A group of burly men dressed as maids stopped, unsure of what to do.

"You beast! You actually dare to take hostages! If you have the guts, get over here!" Xu's father was so angry that his face turned ashen. What sins did he commit in his past life to give birth to such a wicked child?

"Come on, do you think I'm stupid! If I come out, I'll get beaten up!" The boy's mischievous voice suddenly rang in Zhou Liwan's ears, provoking her to immediately shrug her right shoulder.

"You've gone too far!" Xu's father was so angry that his vision blurred, and he immediately raised his hand to strike.

Xu Zimu subconsciously pressed his head tightly against Zhou Liwan's back, chattering incoherently.

The housekeeper stood anxiously by, trying to persuade and stop both sides.

The atmosphere was tense, and Zhou Liwan couldn't take the shaking any longer. She shouted, "Stop it, everyone!"

The scene quieted down, and the birds that had been stealing fruit in the nearby orchard were so frightened that they took flight.

The faint chirping of cicadas could be heard from the other side of the mountain.

Xu's father calmed down a little, looked at Zhou Liwan with an apologetic expression, and spoke in a gentle and polite tone, as if he wasn't the one who had just been chasing after someone and shouting "I'm your father!"

"Little girl, I'm so sorry, don't be afraid. The current situation is a bit hard to understand, but I can explain it all. But before I can explain, I need to catch that wicked creature first!"

[That brat, always causing trouble for himself! Today, when guests came over, he actually forced all his bodyguards to change into maid outfits! I tolerated him chasing after that divorced woman last time, but this time he's gone and caused such a huge mess. He needs to be taught a lesson!]

"I'm warning you, if you dare to make a move, you're dead!" Xu Zimu stuck his head out, looking at Zhou Liwan with a gentle smile on his lips, but a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and his tone was tinged with coldness.

"Let me tell you, I hate being threatened the most." After saying that, Zhou Liwan glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the boy's slender fingers pinching her arm.

Almost instantly, Zhou Liwan twisted his little finger and pulled it back forcefully. The other man let go in pain, and the bodyguard pinned him to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Liwan waved her hand, her expression changed, and she said politely to Xu's father, "Uncle, you don't need to explain. I understand. It's normal for boys to be a little naughty."

Xu's father admired her graceful demeanor. He looked at the housekeeper as if he understood: "You are Uncle Jiang's granddaughter, Zhou Liwan, right?"

Zhou Liwan smiled gently and warmly: "Yes, Uncle."

Mr. Xu smiled knowingly, his tone softening considerably: "Not bad, you're a really good kid. Come visit me at my house whenever you have time. Forget about today, I'll take this brat back and give him a good beating first."

[Sigh, all the gentle image I've cultivated over the years has been ruined by this brat! From now on, when the child sees me again, he'll probably only remember me for my rough and uncouth appearance today.]

Zhou Liwan nodded, the warm breeze ruffling her long, slender hair. Her beautiful dark eyes reflected a soft, golden light, shining brightly: "Uncle, boys who misbehave are mostly asking for a beating. A good spanking will fix them. Afterwards, we'll still be the gentle and handsome uncles we always were!"

Such a lovely person, Zhou Liwan subconsciously wanted to mend his sensitive heart.

"Hahaha, yes, I'll listen to you." Mr. Xu chuckled, and his anger subsided instantly.

My fondness for Zhou Liwan has only grown stronger.

No one cared about Xu Zimu's feelings as he was pinned to the ground; he glared fiercely at Zhou Liwan.

His eyes were gloomy. As he was helped up and passed by Zhou Liwan, his expression was dark and sinister. He said, "Zhou Liwan, is that right? You just wait, I'll give you a big surprise!"
