Chen Shuting kept testing Tao Yilang, who didn't want her to come to his house.

But for the sake of peace and stability, he could only hold the girl and say, "I'm afraid you'll be too tired if you go. You should rest for a while. I feel sorry for you."

Hearing these words, Chen Shuting knew perfectly well that this was just an excuse to keep her hanging on.

"Don't even think about going to his house," Chen Shuting said, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Tao Yilang.

"You're just trying to appease me because I don't have any family back home now. Let's just call it quits!"

Tao Yilang can't afford to have a falling out with Chen Shuting right now; he can only patiently coax her.

"I didn't. If you want to go, then go. I can't stop you."

"Alright then! I'll believe you."

Tao Yilang checked the time and quickly said goodbye to Chen Shuting.

Chen Shuting is already prepared to go to the Tao family tomorrow and give them some treats.

The Tao family wanted to take advantage of him and his family, but they didn't expect their own people to be so discerning.

She was blinded by love and distanced herself from her family for the sake of a man.

The Tao family shouldn't think they can just use me and walk away. I'll make them remember me for the rest of their lives.

Tao family, you just wait, I, Chen Shuting, will not let you get away with this.

Chen Shuting looked at the man eating on the table with disgust. She didn't expect him to be such a hungry wolf with such a good appetite.

Tao Yilang has been looking for a better girl lately; she can't be with Chen Shuting, who has no family support.

Mo Yucheng and his team have also been investigating the Tao family's business dealings over the years.

On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong, but upon closer inspection, problems are everywhere.

Several of the sons-in-law in the family are from the same branch of the Tao family, and over the years they have done a lot of shady things in private.

The old master of the Tao family has been very shrewd in recent years, finding every family he can marry into to a family with a strong foundation.

Unexpectedly, the Chen family would rather disown their daughter than become in-laws with them.

After Tao Yilang returned from Chen Shuting's place, he saw his father waiting for him in the living room.

"Dad, why aren't you resting yet? Are you waiting for me?"

"Where are we going to see the Chen family girl today?"

"Yes, I've gone. I'll talk to her again in a while. Our past issues were quite serious."

"Okay, just so you know."

"She'll definitely be coming soon, you guys handle it."

The old man nodded. Many people knew about this at the time, and now that Ichiro and that person are no longer together, it will cause a lot of trouble.

They took this opportunity to have a good chat with the Chen family girl.

The next day, Chen Shuting took what she had prepared and headed towards the Tao family.

Upon entering, she saw the Tao family members all neatly arranged, looking at her. It was a family gathering today.

I didn't expect that as soon as Tao Yilang finished speaking yesterday, he rushed back. He really loves his son very much.

"Hello Uncle Tao and Aunt Tao, I'm sorry to come at a bit of inconvenience today, as you are both at home. I'll come to see you another day."

"No, no, everyone's off today, so we just happened to get together."

Come and sit down, let's chat.

Chen Shuting entered the living room with an apologetic expression and handed the items to Tao Yilang who had come to visit.

She sat with everyone for a while, then went to the kitchen to help with the tasks.

There are many people at home today; several of Mrs. Tao's married daughters are busy with chores.

Upon seeing Chen Shuting arrive, everyone wisely refrained from being hostile towards her.

After all, this will help them and make their lives easier.

Chen Shuting already had the medicine she had prepared in advance in her pocket, intending to put it inside when they finished cooking.

Chen Shuting worked hard to help them today, and the group quickly went out to take a break.

Chen Shuting was just thinking about putting drugs in the food but didn't have a chance, and now the others gave her that opportunity.

The mother and her daughters stayed outside, not going in until they saw that Chen Shuting had almost finished, at which point they hurried inside to help.

He was secretly overjoyed and was looking forward to the show tonight.

When it was time to eat, everyone looked at the delicious-looking and fragrant dishes and praised Chen Shuting's cooking skills.

She watched the two tables of people eating with relish, and thought to herself with a sinister glint in her eye that she would see a good show tonight.

No one noticed that she didn't eat during the meal; she ate by herself without noticing.

I learned my cooking skills from my maternal grandfather, who was a royal chef, when I was young. I was just too pampered by my family growing up.

Unaware of the wickedness of people, I followed their path. Fortunately, I wasn't so foolish and slowly came to my senses.

Only after they finished eating did everyone feel embarrassed.

Tao Baihe looked at everyone with a hint of resentment, "Shu Ting's cooking is so good, we can't stop eating once we pick up our chopsticks, even my Nana didn't stop eating today."

Tao Erjie, Tao Yingzi, chimed in, "Yes! The sweet and sour fish is sweet but not greasy, and the braised pork looks incredibly tempting."

Everyone was very satisfied with their meal, and only when they touched their round bellies did they realize they had eaten too much.

After finishing the meal, Tao Shuting didn't rush to help clean up; she had already done a lot of cooking herself.

The two sisters were also embarrassed, as their family was not entitled to employ maids; only the women in the house could work in the kitchen.

Before long, Tao Shuting made an excuse to go back to her current home.

After packing my things, I returned to my home, which I hadn't been back to for a year.

She stood at the door, too afraid to go in, until her second brother saw her and thought he must have been mistaken.

He then stopped his bicycle and looked at his younger sister, whom he hadn't seen for a year.

They actually knew about the relationship between his sister and Tao Jiayilang, but there were some things they didn't want him to face alone.

She won't turn back; her family has been keeping a close eye on her actions at the research institute.

They could only offer help when they were demoted after being reported, in order to make up for what they had done to their daughter.

Chen Erge, Chen Zheyuan, looked at his sister and knew she had come back for something, so he took her to their secret base where they had been since childhood.

"Second brother, I'm sorry. It was my impulsiveness that brought shame to the family and made us a laughing stock."

"Alright, we all know. He's been stubborn since he was little, and you can't pull him out of his shell."

It's okay. You'll learn your lesson if you suffer a little loss.

So, you need to have a plan for what to do next.

"I've seen through that family's true colors, and now I've realized I won't foolishly help them."

I want to leave here as soon as possible and move to a new place.

"Okay, then you shouldn't go back. I'll find a way to send you away today, and you can come back when you're better."

"Yes, thank you, second brother. Please tell the elders in the family that I am sorry."

Their granddaughter and daughter realized their mistake and strongly rebuked those people, telling them they didn't need to avenge me; I didn't want my family to worry about me anymore.

"Alright, do you still need to pack your things?"

"No need, I don't want to go back there. There's nothing there that I want to stay for."

"Alright, wait for me to find someone to take you away."
