"Forget about our Xi family. As for the Tao family... forget about it either." Xi Youlin sneered, and a trace of calculation flashed in his beautiful peach blossom eyes: "I plan to ruin their marriage."

"For Tao Anwen?"

"I guess so." Xi Youlin spread his hands: "At worst, the worst that can happen is that I will lose myself."

"Just watch the commotion." Rong Zhan said nonchalantly, and added a reminder: "Your sister-in-law and Tao Anwen have a good relationship. I advise you to be careful."

"Don't worry, I know my limits. Besides, I'm prepared to sacrifice myself. Anyway, the Tao family will make a profit." Xi Youlin smiled nonchalantly, but his eyes were full of meaning: "I just can't stand Rong Chong's greedy look..."

And, give Tao Anwen to another man, think about that night...

He felt inexplicably unwilling and reluctant.

Besides, the woman hasn't recognized him yet, or... she has completely forgotten about it.

Thinking of this, he felt anxious and troubled.

"Brother Zhan, where are my sister-in-law and the others going to have dinner?"

"Shangzuo Yadu."

"Let's go, let's go too. It's time for dinner anyway. Aren't you hungry?" Xi Youlin stood up, raised his eyebrows at him, and hinted.

Rong Zhan narrowed his eyes, stood up from the chair decisively, and nodded seriously: "Well, speaking of it, I ate lunch at noon, and now I'm a little hungry, let's go!"

——

In the VIP room of Shangzuo Yadu.

After listening to Su Yang's speculation, Tao Anwen's eyes widened in disbelief: "You mean, my dad has been talking in a weird way for a while, and suddenly he feels unwell, is he possessed by... a ghost?"

Su Yang was amused by her words. "It's not that he's possessed by a ghost, but there's a dark aura all over his body, which must be closely related to his abnormal behavior during this period. I'll have to see the details first. Do you think it's convenient for me to go to the Tao family sometime?"

"Then tomorrow." Tao Anwen blurted out without thinking: "Will I have a chance to see you catch ghosts?"

"Why do I see that you don't worry about your dad at all?" Su Yang was confused by her strange train of thought.

"I care about him? Oh, he doesn't need my care." Tao Anwen sneered, "Anyway, with you here, he won't die. At most, he will suffer. I am happy to see him. Do you need to bring any magic weapon to catch ghosts tomorrow?"

"It's not as weird as you say. If there is really something unclean in your father, just purify it."

"that's all?"

"Don't underestimate these evil spirits. I encountered one last night." Seeing her disappointed look, Su Yang briefly told her what happened yesterday.

"Fuck, so weird? I thought this kind of thing only existed on TV or in novels, and there's actually a monster involved. Oh my God, no, Yangyang, I also want to witness the thousand-year love between those two cats. When you arrange for them to meet, remember to call me." After hearing this, Tao Anwen couldn't help but swear.

Su Yang: “…”

This guy's train of thought always surprises her.

But she never questioned her own words.

The two of them have known each other for eighteen years. She was taken back to the Su family when she was nine years old and transferred to the Imperial Capital Primary School. They had been deskmates since they started. As long as Su Yang said anything, she would trust it unconditionally and stand on her side more firmly.

She said: "Yangyang, don't say you are reborn now. Even if you are a ghost now and the whole world has let you down, our friendship will never change. I, Tao Anwen, will always stand by you."

Their childhoods were not happy. Both of them lost their mothers at a young age. Only the two of them could empathize with that kind of pain.

To each other, they are each other's salvation and the light that illuminates each other from childhood to adulthood.

This pure and clean friendship is the warmth they feel when they are walking alone in the darkness.

"Whether it is an evil spirit or just the result of bad temper, we will know it tomorrow when we go to see it. Purse..."

"Leave the purse matter to me. Come to the Tao's house for dinner tomorrow night." Tao Anwen said confidently with raised eyebrows.

"By the way, how is the marriage between you and the second branch of the Rong family that was kicked out of the family tree going? Is Chen Manna causing trouble again?"

Tao Anwen sneered and rolled her eyes. "What else can we do? That old man listened to Chen Man and thought that this marriage was a sure win. Now that he's sick, he's still concerned about this matter."

"So what are you going to do?"

"What can I do? It's okay for her to marry me, but the prerequisite is that he transfers all the properties of the Tao family to Achen. I know exactly what that slutty Chen Man is planning. She wants to kick me, a stumbling block, out of the Tao family, but it's wishful thinking. If she doesn't let me have an easy life, I will drag them and their son to hell together." There was a hint of contempt and callousness in the corners of Tao Anwen's eyes, and her tone was cold and leisurely.

As long as she is around, the Tao family will never let Chen Man have the final say.

Because of her family background, Tao Anwen has always regarded herself as a boy. In addition, she has been fighting with her stepmother for many years, which has made her cold and cruel.

But underneath this layer of cool and casual armor, there is actually a pure, kind and romantic heart.

Su Yang frowned, knowing how difficult her current situation was.

Tao Hongmin was just like an old-fashioned person in ancient times who favored his concubine over his wife. He was indifferent to Tao Anwen and her brother since they were young. If it weren't for Tao Anwen's strong personality and the 20% of the company shares left to her by her mother, Tao Hongmin would have been indifferent to her brother and sister since they were young.

I'm afraid that Tao Hongmin had already found an excuse to send the brother and sister abroad to fend for themselves.

People say that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but based on their experiences, this statement is both wrong and a joke.

But with conditions like those proposed by Tao Anwen, not only would Chen Man not agree, I'm afraid even Tao Hongmin himself would not agree to it.

The fact that Taoyuan Winery can stand as one of the four major families in Beidu shows that Tao Hongmin has very strong business ability and his methods are also powerful. How could he be willing to hand over all the foundation he had worked so hard to build to him?

Even if the other person was his own son, he would not be willing to do so.

Tao Anwen is in charge of 20% of the shares of Taoyuan Wine Industry, but she does not go to the company. Instead, she just opened a simple music bar. In fact, she does not want Tao Hongmin to catch her making mistakes at work and take away the 20% of the shares.

By the way, I also want to see how biased Tao Hongmin's heart can be.

Now it seems that the slightest hope in her heart was ultimately dashed.

For fame and fortune, Tao Hongmin chose to throw her, the "stumbling block", out of the Tao family.
