"Oh, I forgot to tell you that we are not going to eat. Let's change the time!" Tao Bao said.
"Wha...what? You're not coming?" Tao Shiming couldn't believe it. "Everyone's here, how can you not come? And it doesn't make sense for Gu Che to come all this way!"
"Why, is Gu Che such a big shot?" Tao Bao was looking for trouble.
"That's not what I meant. I just feel that we are working towards a common goal and I can't treat him like this."
He seems to be considering Gu Che and the overall situation, but in fact he is afraid of damaging his own interests! How could Tao Bao not know him?
"Or... I'm going to refuse Si Minghan's invitation to dinner and go to your place?"
Tao Shiming was stunned. "Are you having dinner with Si Minghan?"
"Why else would I not be able to go?"
Tao Shiming didn't have the guts to compete with Si Minghan for the girl. He changed his anxious tone and said, "No need. You can have dinner with Si Xian! What about Tian?"
"I can do it tomorrow." After hanging up the phone, Tao Bao looked unapologetic, thinking that she had stood him up on purpose.
Tao Shiming knew that if he talked about this in the box, it would definitely make She Huizi and Tao Chumo unhappy, so he had to say it even though he was a little confused.
"What did you say? You're not coming?" She Huizi stood up excitedly. "Is she making fun of us?"
"Since you're not coming, why didn't you say so earlier?" Tao Chumo asked.
"It's a last-minute thing. Si Minghan wants her to accompany him for dinner. She can't just come over without caring, right? It's changed to tomorrow! She will definitely come tomorrow!" Tao Shiming said.
"If you want to come, you come. I won't come." She Huizi was furious.
"Mom, we have to eat anyway, no matter where we eat." Tao Chumo said, "Then let's make an appointment for Tiantian."
She Huizi sat down angrily.
If Tao Chumo hadn't considered the possibility of Si Minghan showing up at the dinner party, how could she be willing to be dominated by others!
Tao Shiming and Gu Che explained, "Xiaobao couldn't come at the last minute, but it doesn't matter. As Chumo said, we have to eat after all. After we finish eating, we will go back together."
Gu Che had no objection and nodded.
The next day, Tao Shiming arranged dinner at the same time and address. Tao Shiming's family and Gu Che had already arrived.
She Huizi mocked, "She hasn't come yet. Are you going to have dinner with Si Minghan again? Shi Ming, I think you should give her a call and ask her how her meal was!"
Before Tao Shiming could say anything, the door of the private room was opened by the waiter from the outside, and Tao Bao walked in. "What's wrong? I haven't eaten yet, and you're asking me how my meal is. Does that mean you don't welcome me?"
Tao Chumo looked behind Tao Bao, but there was no one. She couldn't help but feel disappointed. Si Minghan didn't come... However, no one could be sure until the end!
"No, no, your Aunt She was worried that you were stuck in traffic, so she asked me to call you!" Tao Shiming was relieved to see Tao Bao and said with a smile.
Gu Che stood up and nodded to Tao Bao in greeting.
Tao Bao ignored her and walked to the table expressionlessly. He sat down and looked at She Huizi. "I made an appointment with you yesterday. Did I make you angry?"
She Huizi smiled wryly, "How could that be? We have to eat anyway. If you don't come, we'll just eat by ourselves. It's no big deal."
Tao Bao raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.
Tao Shiming ordered all the prepared dishes to be brought to the table, and soon the table was covered with dishes.
Tao Bao didn't need to worry about anyone, he just picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Gu Che was relatively low-key. He was the last one to pick up his chopsticks. He was very well-behaved and cultured.
"I heard that you were in a car accident and are recuperating. Are there any sequelae?" She Huizi asked.
"Yes." Tao Bao looked at She Huizi, "His temper is worse than before."
She Huizi's expression changed. Was this telling her to be careful and not to provoke her?
But he finally held back. After all, Si Minghan was behind Tao Bao, and it was obvious that he was just taking advantage of the power of others!
To catch a thief, you have to catch the leader first, right?
"Don't worry. If anyone offends you, tell me and I won't let her off." She Huizi said, "Eat more. You're so thin. Si Xianbei will think you're starving at home. But why didn't Si Xianbei come with you? You're still recuperating in Hanyuan, right? He actually let you go. I was really angry and anxious waiting for you to eat yesterday. If Si Xianbei didn't accompany you, what if something unexpected happened? Wouldn't we be guilty?"
"Si Minghan is making a fuss. I was fine a long time ago. I almost had a fight with him just because I came out to eat." Tao Bao said helplessly.
To others, it sounded like the husband cared too much about his wife and the couple were having a small quarrel.
If Tao Chumo had not been trained in temperament since childhood, she would have lost her temper long ago. She took a few deep breaths before suppressing her resentment.
She Huizi nudged her husband next to her and said, "You should go pick her up! Is there any father like you?"
Tao Shiming smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes, it was my negligence!"
Tao Bao listened to the couple singing like they were performing an opera, with a half-smile on his face.
Tao Shiming gave Gu Che a look.
Gu Che received it, stood up with his wine glass, and walked to Tao Bao's side, "For what happened last time, I, Zheng Yu, apologize to you!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.
Tao Bao looked at him indifferently, without saying a word, his eyes as if examining him.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Tao Shiming couldn't help but cough.
"You were so arrogant last time, but now you're apologizing. Gu Xianye's resilience really impressed me."
She Huizi rolled her eyes and said, "You are much more arrogant than him!"
"I'm very sorry. I accidentally bumped into you that day. I was at fault first, and I'm willing to accept the punishment."
Having said that, Tao Bao decided to call it a day and waved his hand, "Forget it, what's the point of being punished? I'm not that petty."
"Thank you, Miss Tao." Gu Che sat down.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Tao Bao stood up and left the box.
Standing in front of the sink, washing her hands, and looking at herself in the mirror, she wanted to leave before she had even taken a few bites. She talked more than she ate!
But you still have to pretend.
Moreover, she had to find a way to get She Huizi to Bin City. As long as she stopped keeping an eye on Tao Shiming, the USB flash drive would appear!
Then she doesn't need to go to the company to attract attention!
Taking the initiative to find it is not always more effective than letting it come out on its own!
After washing my hands and shaking off the water, someone came out from the men's restroom next door.
Tao Bao didn't take it seriously. After turning around and taking a subconscious glance, his whole body froze.
The person who came out of the men's restroom was none other than Si Yuanqi.
Their eyes met at once.
Tao Bao stared at him blankly. The unexpected encounter made her lose the ability to think.
Si Yuanqi, who had no news at all, suddenly appeared before his eyes, as if he had never left...
But the last time we separated, the scene was so painful and embarrassing...
Si Yuanqi looked at her, and it seemed as if he had changed in an instant. His whole body turned cold, cold and delicate. His hand, which hung at his side, clenched into a fist for some reason.
The calmer he appeared on the outside, the greater the impact on his heart. His left chest, which had recovered, began to ache again.
It seemed to remind him of the injuries he had suffered from time to time!
