The Tao family made their fortune in the capital, while the Huo family was based in B city. Their businesses did not overlap, and they had virtually no interaction. She knew very little about them. To her, the Huo family's transcendent status, which commanded both respect and awe from all upper-class families, was merely a symbolic entity.
This is why Tao Yunxiao almost immediately ruled out the least likely option.
Just like if you meet someone in a shopping mall who shares the same surname as a leader, would you immediately assume that person is that leader?
besides--
She still couldn't understand why Jiang Chi was willing to accompany wealthy women for drinks!
That's because Tao Yunxiao leaked crucial information, which was also something her relatives and friends were reluctant to say, their faces grim.
—Late that night, news broke that a rising male celebrity had kicked a restaurant door open with a dark expression.
“No wonder…no wonder Mr. Huo looks so distinguished.” Wu Shang forced a smile that could only be described as ugly, but he was telling the truth.
Teng Yi glanced at the cameras around him, pressed the microphone on his collar, and lowered his voice: "You guys didn't get into a fight with someone, did you?"
"..." Wu Shang was silent for a while, then shook his head firmly, "How could that be? President Huo is so approachable, how could there be any friction? It's just that... Xiaoxiao and President Huo have slightly different educational philosophies."
"After all, every family has its own way of educating children, don't you think, Teacher Teng?"
He was spouting nonsense that even he didn't believe, his back already damp with sweat.
Help! I'm having this embarrassing moment again!
[Ahhh, I can't fast forward the live stream yet, and a housing development is already under construction right under my feet!]
[Holy crap!! The Lingxi Huo family?! Is this the one?!]
[If you're slow to follow this story, I suggest you hurry up and catch up on it on a certain website. It's so satisfying to be there!]
Teng Yi: "..."
After checking on Changchang for a while longer, he wisely took his leave. His wife and child were still there. Although he knew the mother and son wouldn't have any major problems or have crossed any lines to offend others, the example of Wu Shang and his wife was still fresh in his mind, so he decided to keep an eye on things.
Everyone else left.
The once slightly crowded path was now empty except for their family and two cameramen.
Wu Shang smiled bitterly, then mustered a little strength to sigh, "Be careful with your words and actions."
But what he really wanted to say was that there are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding.
She had been arrogant in her familiar circle for too long.
This matter could be a big deal or a small deal, depending entirely on whether Huo Qin lets it go.
Whether the Tao family's business and the couple's career would collapse in an instant depended on Huo's decision.
Wu Shang gazed at his wife's dazed profile and suddenly remembered what the old man often said:
"In the face of real power, your rules are not even worth a piece of waste paper."
"I……"
Tao Yunxiao opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She knew how big a mess she had made today—it wouldn't be long before her father called, berating her for daring to offend the Huo family.
Even at this moment.
“But,” she pressed on, her knuckles white from clenching her fists, “...was my parenting really wrong?”
Wu Shang remained silent for a moment, then finally rubbed his temples wearily: "...You should rest when you get back to camp."
He knelt down, hugged the little boy who had been quiet for so long, and apologized with a look of shame: "Changchang, it's your mom and dad's fault. We didn't notice how scared you were, we..."
Changchang stared at her father's constantly opening and closing lips for a long time before finally letting out a soft "hmm".
The response brought a sigh of relief to the couple, who smiled.
But no one noticed—
The boy's downcast eyes reflected only the image of Huo Qin carrying Chaochao away. He didn't think Chaochao playing with the bugs was naughty, nor was he angry that the mud on her shoes had rubbed against him.
Just like Brother Jiang Chi.
Changchang suddenly felt very confused.
