It was raining heavily, but fortunately the capital was still hot in September, so even though the rain was hitting my body, it didn't feel freezing cold.

The distance of more than ten steps was enough to get them both wet, but with Xi Youlin's special protection, Tao Anwen's body and face were not obviously wet except for her hair and legs.

"Xi Youlin, are you sick? Get out of my way."

Tao Anwen leaned on the car window and pushed it out with all her strength, but Xi Youlin held her back so she couldn't push it open at all. She could only yell at him angrily.

"Go in and stay there. Don't move. You'll get wet." Xi Youlin curled his lips and smiled. He pushed her head back into the car and turned around to walk around the front of the car to the driver's seat.

After getting in the car, Xi Youlin rolled up the window on her side, locked the door, took a T-shirt he had never worn from the back seat and threw it on her: "Wipe it off, don't catch a cold."

Tao Anwen frowned, with an expression of fear on her face, and threw the clothes back to him without mercy: "Fuck you, get out of here, let me go."

Xi Youlin sneered, turned her over to face him, covered her head with his clothes, gently wiped the water droplets on her short hair, and explained solemnly: "Listen carefully to every word I say now."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Tao Anwen's heart trembled slightly at his action, but his authoritarian tone instantly brought her back to her senses. She grasped his arm unhappily and gently twisted it upwards.

The T-shirt that was originally covering her head slipped halfway down.

"Ahhh... it hurts, it hurts, Tao Anwen, it's broken, it's broken, be gentle..."

His grimacing and continuous screams were immediately heard in the car.

Tao Anwen finally let go of her hand. Looking at the way she was holding her hand and blowing it, she curled her lips and ripped off her T-shirt neatly: "You say it, if you don't satisfy me, I'll slap you to death."

Xi Youlin shook his hands and said jokingly, "Tao Anwen, with your manly temperament, if it weren't for me, do you think you could still get married? Who can hold you back?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tao Anwen waved her hand again, and Xi Youlin subconsciously raised his hand to block it: "Ahem... I'll be able to hold it."

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

"Tell me." Xi Youlin sighed faintly, "It wasn't me who was photographed last night. Qing Xun asked me to drink last night. He said that Xixi confessed to him, but he rejected her because of the age difference. He was in a bad mood, so he asked me to drink with him. Then he drank too much, and I woke him up this morning with a phone call."

"It's not you?" Tao Anwen narrowed her eyes and looked at him half-believingly and half-doubtingly.

"Nonsense, auntie, don't you know what your fiancé looks like and what his body shape is? Is the guy in the photo as handsome as me? I have eight-pack abs, and no matter how close he imitates me, he's still smaller than me."

Tao Anwen pursed her lips. Actually, she had doubted it, but then she was upset because he didn't explain it.

But overall, the person in the photo looks very much like him.

"Then... who is the person in the photo? Why is he pretending to be you?" Tao Anwen frowned and tilted her head in confusion.

"So, before I went to look for you, I asked someone to check. The person in the photo was deliberately arranged by someone. They dressed like me and even walked like me. They took the photo from a tricky angle. It was definitely me in the photo."

Xi Youlin shrugged with a sneer. To be honest, he was stunned when he saw those photos. He even suspected that he had drunk too much yesterday and sleepwalked out to find girls.

But if you look closely, there are still obvious differences.

"Who arranged this?"

Xi Youlin sneered: "Rong Chong."

"The second branch of the Rong family?" Tao Anwen opened her eyes wide in surprise, deeply stunned.

"Is he worthy of being called the second branch of the Rong family? How funny! He was kicked out of the family tree by Old Madam Rong a hundred or eighty years ago. If it weren't for the fact that Old Madam likes Rong Yi, would he still be qualified to enter the gate of Rong Garden?"

"The question is... why does he do this, and what benefits will it bring to him?" Tao Anwen actually didn't have a very good impression of Rong Chong and his wife. She felt that one was too calculating and insidious, and the other was hypocritical and mean and difficult to get along with.

"Could it be... that this is to take revenge on you for slapping him in the face when you proposed to him at the Tao family, making him feel humiliated?" Tao Anwen thought for a while, and an idea popped into her mind. She felt that if it was Rong Chong, he might really be able to do it.

"You think so too?" Xi Youlin laughed. "Rong Chong is a mean and vindictive man who bears grudges. I humiliated him in front of you and your father that day, and he must have been unhappy. He made such a fuss today, probably to retaliate against me. He also has a chance to ruin the marriage between our two families, and he might even benefit from it."

"He can use such disgusting means. He has lived for most of his life. No wonder his company didn't last long. It turns out that he uses such insidious and disgusting means. Who would be willing to cooperate with him?"

Tao Anwen curled her lips in disdain. After hearing what he said, she looked down upon the second branch of the Rong family even more.

"So how are you going to fight back?"

"It is best to give someone a taste of their own medicine."

Tao Anwen chuckled, and suddenly understood what he meant. She nodded and said, "That's a good idea."

"So, are you still going to cancel the engagement now?" Xi Youlin glanced at her and asked meaningfully.

"Back off." Tao Anwen pursed her lips and replied very seriously.

"I am happy to do so."

Xi Youlin snorted softly: "Okay, if you are happy, if you can cancel this marriage, I will take your surname."

After saying that, he started the car and drove away.

"Where are you going?"

"Go home and change your clothes. My clothes are so wet. Are you planning to go to dinner like this?" Xi Youlin tugged at his wet T-shirt, glanced at her, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Xu Jing, send two sets of small-sized women's clothing to my house in twenty minutes."

Xu Jing on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "What style of clothes does Third Master need?"

"What style?" Xi Youlin tilted his head to look at the clothes Tao Anwen was wearing. They were all cool and sassy. He raised his eyebrows and said, "A casual and comfortable one will do."

"yes."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Anwen frowned and asked, "Who is your lover Xu Jing?"

Xi Youlin laughed helplessly: "I quite like your habit of complaining about others' integrity. You always say, 'Well, I don't care, do whatever you want.' Look, I just called my secretary to send you some clothes, and you got jealous. You are quite jealous."

"Hey, where are you driving? Do you want to cause a car accident and death?"

Seeing that she was about to take action, Xi Youlin spoke in time. Tao Anwen stopped raising her hand in the air and glared at him angrily.

"I'm jealous? I'm clearly protecting my own legal rights from being infringed, okay? Based on your reputation as a playboy, I have every reason to doubt whether she is your lover. Don't disgust me so much that I won't be able to eat dinner."

"Xu Jing is my secretary. She and I have no other relationship except work."

Tao Anwen raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you not working in the company? Do you still have a secretary?"

"I have a position in the company, okay? Although I'm usually a bit idle, when my elder brother is away on business, I'm basically the one in charge. It's normal to have a secretary. What's the big deal?"

Tao Anwen tutted disapprovingly and looked out the car window.

"I heard that you officially joined Taoyuan Wine Group a few days ago?"

"hold head high."

"How's it going? Is everything going well?"

Tao Anwen sighed silently and curled her lips. "It can't be said that it's going very smoothly. Anyway, there are many people who want to trip me up and drive me out of the company. The day before yesterday, because of the new wine launch conference in the middle of the month, that old man Qiu Shaocheng confronted me in front of more than ten people. The prestige I established in the company a few days ago is completely gone. Yesterday, when I went to ask for the information and data of the press conference, it was delayed again and again. It took more than three hours to give it to me."

Xi Youlin frowned, and there was a storm in his beautiful peach blossom eyes: "Where is your temper towards me? Use it on them instead."

"I'm afraid it might backfire. I'm a reasonable person, okay?"

Xi Youlin glanced at her and snorted: "When will you be reasonable with me?"

Tao Anwen narrowed her eyes and said, "Get lost. I got angry yesterday too. They really treated me like a hollers kitty. I smashed the office of the head of the Propaganda Department and fired the staff member who gave me the cold shoulder. What kind of people are they? They dare to use chicken feathers as a token of authority in front of me. I don't even care about my old man. They are nothing."

"That's it. Show them some color. Otherwise, they won't be able to tell the name of this company." Xi Youlin paused for a moment and said, "Is Qiu Shaocheng, the one you just mentioned, the production quality manager who owns 10% of Taoyuan Wine Industry?"

"Yes, it's him. Do you know him?"

"He is quite capable and has a great talent for wine tasting and appraisal. He has been working at Taoyuan Winery for nearly ten years. He has a bad temper, and even your father is polite to him and gives him many privileges in the company. It seems... after a long time, he has forgotten who is the boss. Leave this matter to me and I will help you to deal with this manager."

"You? What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, it's just a little trick. I guarantee that he will be able to tell who is the boss of this company in the future."

"Hey, I just happened to have something to ask you about the press conference and indicators." Thinking of what Su Yang said today, Tao Anwen felt that it did make sense. After thinking about it, she still asked.

"Okay, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll have someone deliver it to your house later. Just dry yourself off and change your clothes and you can eat."

"I want to eat flower crabs, Yu Ji's drunken goose pot, and Shi Kao's secret lamb chops, and some cold beer."

Xi Youlin chuckled: "You are quite good at eating."

"That's right, who wouldn't eat it?"
