Ling Jiaxuan fell asleep quickly after the meal. She was too tired in the past two days. Now that the situation had improved a little, her fatigue came flooding back.

Tao Rui waited until she fell asleep before quietly leaving and preparing to go home.

On the way, the system curiously asked: [Brother Rui, what are you going to do with those family members?]

Tao Rui said nonchalantly, "A gentleman's friendship is as pure as water; those with different ideals cannot work together. Let's not talk about them anymore. Tell me about you. Do you have a favorite name? Do other systems have names?"

[System: Some systems are named after numbers like 001, and some well-known systems have unique names. I know of a system that is almost omnipotent and even has a physical form. It's called "Shaohua."]

[Hmm? The system can also possess a physical body?] Tao Rui became interested. [Do you know how it does this? Who is its owner? Can we contact them?]

[System: Its owner is Xu Zifan, not affiliated with the Spacetime Bureau. I'm currently unable to contact him. I heard from other missioners when I was contacting the Spacetime Bureau that someone had encountered him while on a mission.]

Since I can't get in touch with you, forget it.

Tao Rui smiled and said, "Don't worry. If they can do it, we can do it too. I thought of your name, 'Liunian'. Do you like it?"

The system pondered silently for a moment, then said happily, "I like it. Time and passage of time are the best synonyms for me, just like youth."

It turns out that the system has idols to admire. The system, which has just gained fame, talked a lot to Tao Rui, all of which were stories about Xu Zifan and Shaohua that he heard from others. It turned out that Shaohua did not follow Xu Zifan from the beginning. It was Xu Zifan who studied the system thoroughly and voluntarily bound himself to Shaohua.

It's a pity that they didn't have the chance to communicate, otherwise Tao Rui felt that they still had a lot in common, at least the life belief that learning never ends.

With this precedent, Tao Rui felt more confident about upgrading the system. And knowing there was a time traveler like Xu Zifan who didn't belong to the Space-Time Bureau, he suddenly had a new idea.

Even as he entered the house, he was still working out a complex algorithm in his mind, figuring out how to travel independently, becoming a free traveler without the risk of mission failure. So when he ran into Tao's mother upstairs, his expression was a bit serious, which perfectly matched his angry image.

That's what Mother Tao thought. She said with a bit of irritation and guilt, "You ignored Mom's call for a stranger? You ran to her as soon as you got off the plane, and then you gave me a bad face when you got home?"

Tao Rui stopped and looked at her coldly, "As an elegant and noble pianist, don't you think what you did was too despicable?"

Mother Tao gasped, her face full of disbelief, "You, you said I was mean?"

"Is it ugly? I know. But the slander you spread against Xuanxuan with your online trolls was even more ugly, so ugly that it was unbearable to hear. The way you ignored my feelings and forced me to break up because you felt embarrassed was also ugly, so ugly that it was unbearable to watch."

Tao Rui looked into her eyes and said slowly, "You think that my girlfriend, an internet celebrity from a poor family, has embarrassed you and is a stain on your life. I also think that you have embarrassed me by resorting to such despicable means and are a stain on my life. I can't imagine that my parents and relatives have such moral corruption. It seems like I just met you today."

Tao's father came out in his bathrobe and scolded him coldly: "Tao Rui! Don't talk to your mother like that!"

Tao's mother covered her heart, and Tao's father immediately came over to support her and scolded her, "Look how angry your mother is! Apologize quickly! Is this what we taught you?"

"I've learned everything you taught me." Tao Rui gave a superficial smile, perfect yet fake. "Some say children are the mirror of their parents. Now do you see your own badness in me?

You taught me to be selfish, so I have to say this now: I like Ling Jiaxuan, I am selfish, so I will not leave Ling Jiaxuan for anything, even if you feel embarrassed or angry enough to fall ill. Who made me care only about myself like you?

Tao Rui bowed to them, as gentlemanly as usual, and then walked past them, leaving a message as he entered the door, "I will move out tomorrow and I will not be back."

The sound of the door closing was very small, but it sounded like a thunderclap in the ears of the two people!

Mother Tao grabbed Father Tao's hand and said in shock, "Did you hear that? How could he do this to us? This is unfilial! For an outsider, an internet celebrity, he..."

"I heard it, I heard it." Tao's father patted Tao's mother on the back and frowned as he looked at Tao Rui's door. "This girl has a huge influence on Xiao Rui. We must break up with her!"

That’s what they said, but they had no idea how to cut it off or how to manage it.

Neither of them was the type to argue in public, and they wouldn't do anything so inappropriate, so they didn't choose to knock on Tao Rui's door, but returned to their room in silence.

Afterwards, they lay back to back in bed, neither of them speaking, as if they were asleep. In fact, both of them kept their eyes open, trying to calm the anger and shame in their hearts.

Tao Rui's attitude was bad, but he hit the nail on the head, as if he had really used a mirror to reflect their ugly side, making it impossible for them to rebuke him with a clear conscience for a moment, and they were so angry that they couldn't sleep all night.

The next morning, Tao Rui was dressed neatly and sitting in the dining room for breakfast as usual. When his father and mother came downstairs and saw him, they assumed he was just throwing a tantrum the night before. They both assumed their parental airs and sat down, ready to criticize Tao Rui for his inappropriate behavior.

Before they could say anything, Tao Rui's assistant in the laboratory followed the housekeeper in and whispered to Tao Rui, "Dr. Tao, I'm here to pick you up."

Tao Rui nodded, took the napkin from his lapel and wiped the corner of his mouth, revealing an elegant smile. "Father, Mother, I'm moving out now. Considering that this move is not so pleasant, I will leave all my things behind and only take the important documents.

I will set up a pension fund for you and fulfill my responsibilities. Goodbye."

Mother Tao was surprised. "Xiao Rui, do you know what you are saying? Are you going to sever ties with us because of that woman? You will be despised by everyone for such behavior! Don't you care at all?"

Tao Rui stood up, straightened his clothes, and said with a faint smile, "You're wrong. I do everything for myself. If Xuanxuan wasn't here today, there would be other people and other things. My career, my girlfriend, my marriage, my children, everything about me. If anything doesn't meet your requirements, you'll want to interfere. Then I'll have to do something. Only those who are incompetent will obey the orders of others, and I'm not one of them. Take care, both of you."

Tao Rui nodded at them, walked out of the villa with steady steps, leaving their shouts behind.

This family may seem wealthy, but Tao's father is a writer and his mother is a pianist, so they aren't that wealthy. The original owner, a genius, skipped grades, winning scholarships and prize money in various competitions. After establishing a laboratory, he earned a lucrative salary, much of which he gave back to his family. Financially, he wasn't in debt.

Now he didn't take any property with him, everything was torn apart completely.

The assistant was a big boy named Xiaozhou, also a top student who had skipped grades. He had just heard what Tao Rui said and now he didn't know where to send Tao Rui. "Dr. Tao, are you going to stay in a hotel?"

Tao Rui shook his head and said, "I'm staying in the lab for now."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to buy some things, but the lounge is so small, it will definitely be uncomfortable to live there permanently." Xiao Zhou was a little worried that Tao Rui wouldn't be able to adapt. After all, he was a young master who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. This should be a rebellious period for him to run away from home, right?

"It's okay, it's just temporary." Tao Rui smiled. The lounge was similar to a university dormitory, with a bed, a desk, and a bathroom. It wasn't that bad. It was only small compared to a villa. He'd lived everywhere before, so there was nothing to dislike.

He knew what Xiaozhou was thinking, but he didn't explain. Things like this always take time for everyone to believe.

On the way, he received a call from Ling Jiaxuan. Ling Jiaxuan was still recovering from her work and couldn't get back to work. She called to ask what he was going to do today. When Tao Rui said he was going to the lab to check on a project, Ling Jiaxuan said a little disappointedly, "Then I won't bother you. Go ahead and get busy. Call me when you're done."

Tao Rui thought for a moment and said with a smile, "You haven't been to my lab yet, would you like to come over?"

"Is it okay? Didn't you say the lab is an important place..."

"It's okay, I'll watch over you. I won't be dealing with core data today."

Ling Jiaxuan was a little happy, "Okay, I'll call you when I get there!"

The original owner had never allowed Ling Jiaxuan into the lab. While it was supposedly confidential, confidential information was naturally kept safe, though some peripheral areas were still accessible. The original owner simply considered the lab important, so important that she didn't want Ling Jiaxuan to touch it.

Tao Rui got to know the laboratory first after arriving at it. He was a scientist in his previous life and was very familiar with the laboratory. Although the original owner was a triple PhD and there were areas of knowledge that he had not touched upon, the original owner was still young after all. In Tao Rui's eyes, the laboratory research projects were very simple.

After going through the process and getting a clear idea of ​​what he was doing, he started designing and programming small smart software in his personal workshop.

His main research direction is artificial intelligence, and it is very easy for him to make some smart software. Now that he has left the Tao family, the most urgent problem he needs to solve is money. He must first find a formal channel to make quick money.

When Ling Jiaxuan arrived, he was already typing away. Xiaozhou led her in, and seeing a pile of incomprehensible code on his computer screen, Ling Jiaxuan remained silent. She had never seen Tao Rui work this way before, and at that moment, she felt as if they were very far away. She didn't understand anything about his stuff, and it looked so sophisticated.

Tao Rui noticed her coming, stopped what he was doing and smiled at her, "So soon? Have you had breakfast?"

"Have you eaten? Am I disturbing you from working by coming here? Otherwise... I'll go to the lounge and wait for you?" Ling Jiaxuan felt a little uncomfortable standing next to him.

Tao Rui waved his hand, stood up and took her to sit on the sofa, "How can this bother you? Sometimes when you are writing songs, I come to you, and you don't think I am disturbing you."

He was saying that their work was equally important, putting them both on an equal footing.

Ling Jiaxuan laughed: "You really have changed a bit since you came back this time."

"Every failure is a learning experience." Tao Rui was just saying this when his phone rang. It was the lawyer handling the property. Tao Rui smiled at Ling Jiaxuan and said, "I forgot to tell you that I've moved out. No matter what happens from now on, you don't have to endure my mother's troubles."
