Chapter 168: Tao Siyao, a Filial Piety (1100 monthly tickets plus more)

I saw my dad's shocked expression.

Tao Siyao suddenly became unhappy and rolled her eyes at her father.

"Dad, I'm usually very well behaved at home."

"Haha, that's very good indeed."

Tao Ronghui curled the corners of his mouth, too lazy to argue with his daughter, and started to care about Qi Sheng's career.

"Xiao Qi, I heard from Yaoyao that you are also starting a business?"

"At present, I mainly run several catering brands. I have acquired a hotel in partnership with a friend, and I also have an office building that I rent out."

Qi Sheng answered concisely.

I was afraid that if I explained it in too much detail, it would scare Tao Ronghui.

"oh?"

Tao Ronghui asked doubtfully, "Then I wonder if you have considered developing in Hangzhou?"

"We already have two hotels in Hangzhou, and we will open a few more restaurants in the future, so uncles and aunts can dine there often."

"hotel?"

Tao Ronghui was surprised and asked, "Is it a chain store or a self-operated brand?"

"Uncle should have heard of Banyan Tree and Angsana."

Tao Ronghui was drinking water and almost choked when he heard the names of two very familiar hotels.

"Banyan Tree?"

Tao Ronghui was stunned.

“Isn’t that a hotel group in Singapore?”

"My uncle is probably not from the hotel industry, so he doesn't pay much attention to the news of Banyan Tree Group."

"My friends and I have teamed up to acquire Banyan Tree Group, which has become our wholly-owned company."

Qi Sheng casually revealed this bombshell news, leaving Tao Ronghui stunned.

“You acquired the Banyan Tree Group?”

Tao Ronghui opened his mouth wide and it took him a long time to accept this fact.

As for Qi Sheng lying to him, that was simply impossible.

The hotel is located in Hangzhou, so if it’s fake, it will be exposed in minutes.

"I am responsible for management, my friend is responsible for investment, I hold shares on his behalf, and we share the profits."

Qi Sheng tried his best to explain so that Tao Ronghui and the others could accept it more easily.

If it were an outsider like Chen Shuyuan.

He was too lazy to explain so much.

The system takes 0% and he takes 100%.

That makes sense, right? "That's amazing, too. You're so young and you're managing such a big hotel group. It must be very stressful!"

Tao Ronghui's eyes changed again and again when he looked at Qi Sheng, full of recognition and appreciation.

Although he was one of the first people to become rich in Hangzhou, his business has had ups and downs over the years.

He has a fortune of over 100 million yuan, and this house alone accounts for almost half of it.

The other industries only make a few million in profit each year.

Compared with the properties under Qi Sheng's name, it is insignificant.

After understanding Qi Sheng's family background, education and abilities.

He became more and more accepting of Qi Sheng.

He made a fortune by speculating in cryptocurrencies by luck, but he decisively liquidated his positions and switched to the investment track.

He teamed up with friends to acquire the Banyan Tree Group, which also owns several restaurants.

Career, appearance, height, ability...

In every aspect, he exceeded the standards that Tao Ronghui set for his future son-in-law.

"Did you have dinner when you came here?"

Tao Ronghua looked at the time. It was almost ten o'clock, so it was not a good idea to hold a grand reception.

"Dad, we had dinner at the Banyan Tree in Xixi Wetland tonight."

"I'll take you to taste Chef Huang's cooking tomorrow. I guarantee you'll be full of praise."

After Tao Siyao finished speaking without restraint, she saw Tao Ronghui and Xu Huifang glaring at her.

"ha…"

Tao Siyao couldn't help but cover her mouth in annoyance, blaming herself for being so careless with her words.

When she went out at noon, she told her parents that she was having dinner with her classmates.

Finally I went to the hotel to find my boyfriend.

In a place like a hotel, what happens next.

Everyone naturally knows it.

"Well, Dad, it's getting late, let's go back."

Tao Siyao gave Qi Sheng a wink, obviously wanting to sneak away at night.

"Why, this isn't your home?"

Tao Ronghui glared at Tao Siyao unhappily.

"Stay home obediently. It's not proper for a girl to go out at night."

"Dad~"

Tao Siyao pouted unhappily.

"I've been with you for so long, just let me go out and stay for one night~"

"no."

Tao Ronghui didn't fall for Tao Siyao's coquettish attack at all and looked at his watch.

"A Sheng, why don't you stay at home too?"

"No, uncle, I have something else to do tomorrow. I'll have dinner with you and aunt tomorrow night."

Qi Sheng would never take the other party's retention seriously, it was just polite talk.

"Well, then uncle won't keep you."

Tao Ronghui patted Qi Sheng's shoulder with satisfaction, expressing his approval of him.

Young, promising, tall and handsome.

It is hard to find such a son-in-law even with a lantern.

After Qi Sheng left, only the family of three was left.

Tao Siyao tried to sneak out several times.

They were all ruthlessly intercepted by Tao Ronghui, who was guarding the door with a stool.

"Dad, you're going too far!"

Tao Siyao stomped her feet in anger.

"Do you know that you are a girl and you are living with someone else before you get married?"

"If we are seen by our relatives and friends, how can your mother and I face others?"

Tao Siyao had a stern face, looking a little disappointed.

"Tsk, you are just ignorant. It's a different era now. There are many people living together before marriage."

Tao Siyao argued and tried to convince her old father.

"Normally when you are in Chengdu, I can't control you, but at home, I absolutely can't do that."

Tao Ronghui stared at his phone stubbornly, refusing to let Tao Siyao slip away.

"Mom~ look at him!"

Tao Siyao had no choice but to seek help from her mother.

"Yaoyao, be good, your father is kind-hearted."

"If you really get married, you can live at home."

Xu Huifang and her husband were on the same side and neither supported Tao Siyao running out late at night.

"Humph, next time I come back, I'll let you be my grandparents."

Tao Siyao ran back to the room and told her two best friends about her grievances.

"Lao Tao, what do you think this girl is saying?"

Xu Huifang was really afraid that Tao Siyao would do it for real, so she asked her husband for help in a panic.

"This girl is very smart. She won't become a mother at such a young age."

Tao Ronghui knows his daughter best, so he naturally wouldn't be scared by her.

"Okay, go to sleep quickly. I'll stay here, or this girl will definitely sneak out in the middle of the night."

Tao Ronghui moved a few more stools and simply slept at the door tonight.

…

In the bedroom, Tao Siyao was lying on the door listening to the voices outside.

I no longer have any hope of escaping.

“So annoying!”

Back on the soft big bed, Tao Siyao opened her mobile phone unhappily and checked WeChat.

In the group of the three little ones, Du Xinxin was posting a video of them having a midnight snack.

Du Xinxin: "It's a pity that someone is so pitiful. It's a pity that we can't even eat these barbecues."

Tao Siyao: "@Du Xinxin, don't go too far!"

When they tasted the dishes in the evening, they only tried a little.

We had planned to have a barbecue in the evening and asked the hotel staff to prepare an outdoor barbecue.

But plans can't change as fast as they do, and the outdoor barbecue was not cancelled.

As the proposer, she could only watch the mouth-watering roasted lamb legs and various barbecues through the video.

In this way, Du Xinxin and Tao Siyao ate lamb chops and skewers while video chatting.

Seeing Qi Sheng grilling skewers by himself, Tao Siyao instantly became very hungry.

Although Qi Sheng seldom took action, he did so on the few occasions.

They were all amazed.

Especially Qi Sheng’s barbecue skills, which are simply amazing.

"Wow, wow, it's all Dad's fault. I can't go."

Tao Siyao flapped her slender white legs in grievance.

I can’t wait to fly to the hotel and share this happiness with Qi Sheng and the others.

"Boom boom boom."

Tao Ronghui, who was playing with his mobile phone at the door, heard a knock on the door and looked at the video doorbell in surprise.

"Property?"

Tao Ronghui opened the door confused.

"What's up?"

"Mr. Tao, this is what happened. Mr. Qi asked us to deliver this barbecue to Miss Tao. I'm sorry to bother you so late."

The property guy respectfully handed over the carefully packaged barbecue.

Tao Ronghui took it and could even feel the warmth.

"Thanks for your hard work."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Tao Ronghui smiled and nodded, then closed the door.

"Yaoyao."

Tao Ronghui walked to the door of his daughter's bedroom and turned the doorknob.

I found the door was locked, and knocked on it helplessly.

"what?"

Tao Siyao was video chatting with Du Xinxin who had returned to the room. When she heard a knock on the door, she asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Your boyfriend had someone send you some barbecue. If you don't eat it, I will."

Tao Ronghui silently counted down to three.

Before I could count to 1, the bedroom door opened.

Revealing his daughter's pretty face with a look of surprise.

"real?"

"Dad can't lie to you. A Sheng really has a good heart."

Tao Ronghui shook the packing bag in his hand.

"Humph, he has a conscience."

Tao Siyao hurriedly took the take-away bags and went to the restaurant to open them one by one.

"Wow, roasted eggplant and roasted peppers are my favorite!"

Tao Siyao was very surprised, and she was bombarded with a stream of sweet voice messages when she picked up her phone.

“Ahem…”

Tao Ronghui's face turned a little dark, because this girl didn't take him seriously at all.

He is both my husband and my dear.

How shameless.

"You can eat with me."

Tao Siyao's eyes rolled and she came up with a good idea.

"You have a conscience."

Tao Ronghui thought his daughter understood him, and sat down happily.

"Dad, you and I haven't had a drink in a long time. How about opening the aged Maotai my brother gave me?"

"No, that won't work. You have to save this wine for when you two get married. Dad will go get some regular Moutai."

It is true that Tao Ronghui is rich, but he is not so extravagant as to drink aged Moutai that costs more than 100,000 yuan.

As for ordinary Moutai, I have several boxes stored at home.

"mean."

Tao Siyao curled her lips but didn't say anything.

"Come, girl."

Tao Ronghui poured a small half cup for Tao Siyao and a full cup for himself.

"Dad, try the roasted lamb leg first."

Although I wanted to get my old father drunk, I couldn't leave him without food.

Eating grilled lamb chops and looking at my well-behaved baby daughter.

Tao Ronghui drank a lot because he was happy.

"My dear, it's not that Daddy doesn't agree with you living together, but you are still young and it's easy to lose your sense of propriety."

"If you accidentally get pregnant, do you think you'd give birth to the child or not?"

Tao Ronghui's face turned red and his voice became much louder.

Fortunately, Xu Huifang was asleep at this time, otherwise she would have been woken up.

"Of course she gave birth to it!"

Tao Siyao didn't even think about it and just wished she could win the jackpot.

"Girl, you want to be a mother at this age?"

Tao Ronghui corrected his daughter's idea with a smile.

"Dad is not against supporting you, but at least we have to wait until you graduate, right?"

"There are seniors in our school who took graduation photos holding their children."

"Dad, times have changed, and you should be more open-minded."

Tao Siyao opened another bottle of Moutai and filled her old father's glass.

I muttered to myself that it was almost time for the dose.

While Tao Ronghui was talking.

Tao Siyao secretly sent a WeChat message to Qi Sheng, asking him to arrange a driver to pick her up.

After getting Qi Sheng's reply, Tao Siyao felt relieved and focused on getting her old father drunk.

Sure enough, the third glass of white wine was drunk.

Tao Ronghui was already lying on the table, almost unconscious.

"It's not my fault. It was you who stopped me from being with my brother."

Tao Siyao struggled to support her old father. Fortunately, the dining room and the living room were not far away.

"Phew...done!"

Tao Siyao put on her shoes stealthily and sneaked out of the house.

Hearing the crisp sound of the door closing, Xu Huifang walked out of the bedroom.

Seeing Tao Ronghui still lying on the sofa, he smiled and patted him.

"Stop pretending. Your daughter has run away."

"Alas, I have come to realize that girls cannot be kept at home when they grow up."

Tao Ronghui sat up with a wry smile on his face.

"Honey, pour me a glass of water."

"This girl is so heartless that she can't even tell that you're pretending to be drunk."

Xu Huifang came over with a cup of water and said helplessly.

"Humph, this girl hasn't even married yet, but she's still clinging to me like this. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Tao Ronghui took the cup of water and gulped down a few big gulps.

"By the way, why did you suddenly agree to let this girl sneak out?"

Xu Huifang was a little curious, since her husband had clearly been strongly against it before.

"It was only when I saw the barbecue Qi Sheng sent me that I realized that perhaps we never understood what our daughter really wanted."

Tao Ronghui smiled self-deprecatingly.

"To put it bluntly, our family's conditions are far behind Qi Sheng's."

"Since they have such a good relationship, there is no need for me, as their father-in-law, to be the bad guy."

"You're the good guy, and I'll be the bad guy, right?"

Xu Huifang rolled her eyes at Tao Ronghui and asked with some concern.

"How about I give that girl a call? It's definitely not safe to go there so late at night."

"No, call the security booth at the door and ask them if they saw what car the girl was in."

"oh oh."

Xu Huifang quickly called the security booth at the door and looked at her man with admiration.

"You guessed it right. Lao Liu said that girl left in the Cullinan."

"Cullinan?"

Tao Ronghui nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile: "You can rest assured this time."

"Alas, if you have a daughter at home, how can you say you can be completely at ease?"

Xu Huifang said worriedly, "If they are not careful, Yaoyao will get pregnant. What should we do then?"

"Just give birth to the baby. Our family can afford to raise it, and it just so happens that it has my last name."

Tao Ronghui's biggest regret is that he didn't have a son.

It’s Xu Huifang’s fault that she’s in poor health.

After giving birth to Tao Siyao, she never got pregnant again.

As for those outside, Tao Ronghui never looked for them.

I have had some fun with it, but I never dared to leave any offspring.

"Lao Tao, I'm in much better shape now. Yaoyao is a worry anyway, so how about we train another trumpet?"

Xu Huifang is only in her early forties and is still fertile.

"Ahem, why bother practicing trumpet? Having Yaoyao in my life is enough."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. You sleep in the master bedroom and I sleep in the second bedroom."

When Tao Ronghui heard his wife say this, he was almost scared to death.

A forty-year-old woman is as fierce as a tiger.

How could a fifty-year-old man like him handle this?

"Coward."

Xu Huifang looked at Tao Ronghui who was running faster than a rabbit and cursed him with a smile.

Thinking of Qi Sheng's high nose bridge, he felt a little envious of his own daughter.
