Tao Liyang was frightened by her gaze and subconsciously took two steps back.

Like Tao Anchen, he had been afraid of Tao Anwen since childhood, because she would never show mercy when beating her own brother, and she would be even more ruthless when beating him, her younger brother who was a layer away from her.

When she got angry, she even beat his mother, and she did it in front of his father.

"That's right..." Tao Liyang shrank his neck and muttered timidly and unconvincedly. He swallowed the rest of the words back into his stomach because of her look.

Tao Anwen rolled her eyes and turned to look at Tao Anchen.

Tao Anchen's nerves suddenly tensed up. He subconsciously took two steps to the side and quickly hid behind Su Yang, slightly bending his body to avoid her gaze.

Su Yang chuckled. She was already used to such scenes.

"Come here." Tao Anwen frowned and ordered.

"Let me make it clear first, sister. I'm grown up now, and you...you can't hit me in the face." Tao Anchen poked his head out from behind Su Yang pitifully, then moved back to her.

Tao Anwen glared at his disappointing look, stretched out her hand to pinch his jaw and looked left and right, then looked at the bruises on Tao Liyang's face, and found that he was not at a disadvantage, so she raised her eyebrows and said, "Go wash it, apply some medicine, and come to the side hall to eat later."

"Okay." Tao Anchen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Yang: "Hey, Sister Yang, I'm sorry to make you laugh. See you later when we have dinner."

"Why don't you leave? Are you waiting for me to scold you or hit you?" Tao Anwen glanced at Tao Liyang who was standing motionless behind her and asked with a frown.

"I'll leave, you don't need me to tell you." Tao Liyang retorted stubbornly, but his body honestly moved to the side, automatically keeping a safe distance from Tao Anwen.

Watching him running away, Tao Anwen sneered, "Oh, you coward."

"Yangyang, this... is Miss Lin, the daughter of the TV station director you mentioned?" She retracted her gaze and smiled at Su Yang. Her eyes fell on Lin Qingle who was standing aside. She extended her hand generously and appropriately: "Hello, Tao Anwen."

"Hello, Lin Qingle." Lin Qingle responded with a smile.

After a brief introduction, Tao Anwen led the two of them into the main hall, where servants brought them tea, snacks and fruit.

Su Yang first asked about Tao Hongmin's situation, and after making some judgment in his mind, he began to look around the entire main hall. It was very bright and spacious, without any signs of hostility.

"My dad has been in a very bad mental state these past few days. Today, he didn't even have the energy to eat. He still relies on nutritional injections given by the family doctor. He is still receiving intravenous fluids. At around 8 o'clock, Chen Man will have a body shaping class, and Anchen and Tao Liyang will both have private foreign language classes in the evening."

"good."

"Tao Anwen."

As soon as Su Yang's cold voice fell, an urgent voice interrupted Su Yang's thoughtful gaze, and the three of them looked towards the source of the voice.

A well-maintained lady wearing a black branded dress walked in quickly. When she saw Su Yang and Lin Qingle sitting in the living room, the anger on her face disappeared instantly.

Although she didn't know Lin Qingle, she recognized Su Yang at first sight.

Su Yang has been very popular since she married into the Rong family. In addition, the show "Idol Descends" that she hosted is also very popular now.

Moreover, Su Yang and Tao Anwen have always had a good relationship. Su Yang had been to the Tao family manor several times before, but she was just an illegitimate daughter at that time, and the Su family's family background was not as prominent as the Tao family.

"Oh, we have guests." She put away her fierceness, put on a dignified and gentle posture, and smiled: "Anwen, why didn't you tell me in advance that you have guests today? I could have asked the kitchen to prepare more dishes to entertain the guests."

"What does my guest have to do with you?" Tao Anwen felt disgusted when she saw her hypocritical look, and frowned and threatened: "Go back to your art garden, who told you to come to the main hall here."

"Anwen, why do you talk like that?"

Chen Man pretended to be hurt, and glanced at Su Yang pitifully: "I just heard from the servants that Anchen and Liyang had a fight, and Liyang had bruises on his face. I wanted to come and see how Anchen was. These two kids are so old, and they're still fighting. It's a joke for the guests."

Tao Anwen rubbed her brows and mercilessly exposed her thoughts: "So the person who just yelled my name was not you, but a dog? Chen Man, stop pretending. No one here will pity you, they will only disgust you."

She had long experienced how protective Chen Man was of her son, and seeing the wound on her son's face, she must have wanted to come and settle the score with her.

His sudden attitude now was simply because of Mrs. Su Yangrong's identity.

What kind of influence does the Rong family have in the entire North? How could a shrewd person like Chen Man not know this?

"Miss, the restaurant is ready and we can have dinner anytime."

"Let's go, we'll go eat first." Tao Anwen nodded, stood up and walked past Chen Man with Su Yang and Lin Qingle, not taking her seriously at all.

Chen Man lost all her face. Not only had she not settled the score with her son, but she was also slandered by Tao Anwen in front of outsiders and was deemed worthless.

Her identity as Mrs. Tao was so frustrating, as she was always suppressed by Tao Anwen.

She must urge Tao Hongmin to marry off Tao Anwen, the stumbling block, as soon as possible, so that she can get the Tao family's property into her hands as soon as possible.

But Tao Hongmin’s current situation…

He can't die at this time, otherwise all her plans will be ruined.

Thinking of this, Chen Man clenched her fists, glanced at the direction they left, and turned back to her art garden angrily.

After dinner, the three of them sat in the living room for a while. Tao Anwen then drove Tao Anchen back to her room, took the two of them to Tao Hongmin's private bedroom, and sent away all the servants in the building.

As soon as the composite door was opened, a breeze blew past him, and Su Yang felt a very strong and murderous aura. His brows immediately furrowed, his eyes were cold and calm, and he raised his hand to stop Tao Anwen and Lin Qingle.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Tao Anwen looked at her with a serious expression, her breathing stagnated, and she felt inexplicably overwhelmed and excited in her heart.

Lin Qingle could also see the hostility because of the beads she gave him. He frowned and said subconsciously, "There is a strong hostility."

Su Yang nodded, walked in, and looked around the entire room. The top layer close to the ceiling was covered with black and red gas. In the air, there was a chain of black gas as thick as a water pipe, which was connected to Tao Hongmin who was lying on the bed receiving a nutritional injection.

That thing was sucking away his luck.
