Chapter 778 God assists my sister-in-law (11)
Zhu Shichu listened to Tao Li's words without commenting and just smiled slightly. Although Tao Li was praising her, Zhu Shichu could clearly feel that he was just trying to please her skillfully.
"Okay, okay, I've kept Miss Zhu busy for so long. Taotao, please stop being naughty." Tao Li criticized his sister, and then said to Zhu Shichu a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I came uninvited to disturb your party with your sister. If Miss Zhu minds, I can leave first..."
Tao Li keenly sensed that Zhu Shichu didn't seem to have a good impression of him, so he asked tentatively. Logically speaking, since he was doing this to retreat, a normal girl would definitely not be embarrassed to say that she minded, so he could stay naturally.
Who knew that Zhu Shichu was not a person who played by the rules? She smiled and said, "Mr. Tao, I'm really sorry. Your sister and I are girls, and it's not convenient for boys to join a girls' party. Since you said that I can leave first, I will rudely agree."
As she spoke, she smiled at Tao Li. When Tao Li heard her words, the smile on his face almost couldn't be maintained. His face couldn't help but twisted for a moment. Fortunately, he knew that he was in front of Zhu Shichu, so he adjusted his facial expression in time.
Zhu Shichu had made it so clear, if he still didn't know what was going on and insisted on staying, wouldn't it backfire and make her hate him? Therefore, Tao Li had to swallow his anger and said, "Haha, since Miss Zhu cares about you, I won't bother you here. I hope I'll have the honor of meeting Miss Zhu again next time."
He suppressed his resentment and tried his best to act like a gentleman and maintain his composure.
"Hey, are you really leaving? Shi Chu, we're not talking about anything private, so it's okay for my brother to stay. He can pay the bill!" Tao Tao said unwillingly with a pout.
"No, we agreed that I'm the one treating you this time. How can you let your brother stay and pay the bill? Isn't that disrespectful to him?" Zhu Shichu denied it outright.
In the end, Tao Li could only leave with a stiff smile, regretting in his heart that he had made the wrong move of retreating to advance. It would be difficult to get such a chance to get close to Zhu Shichu next time.
It turned out that Tao Li deliberately looked for Tao Tao at this time, because he heard Tao Tao say yesterday that she would go out to dinner with Zhu Shichu today, and he wanted to pursue Zhu Shichu.
In his opinion, Zhu Shichu's family background is better than their Tao family, and the family relationship of the Zhu family is very simple. It is not like their Tao family, where all kinds of half-brothers and sisters are scheming against each other and fighting each other privately. The Zhu family has only four masters and a simple population. If he can capture Zhu Shichu's heart, he will definitely be able to use the power of the Zhu family to gain more benefits in the Tao family...
It's a pity that Zhu Shichu seems to be difficult to approach. Tao Li looked back unwillingly at the restaurant where Zhu Shichu and Tao Tao were, and secretly told himself: Take it slow. Zhu Shichu is still very young anyway, and he still has a lot of time to slowly conquer her. A simple and naive young lady, wouldn't it be easy to pursue her?
Zhu Shichu had no idea that Tao Li had set his sights on her. She just simply didn't like the complicated look in Tao Li's eyes when he looked at her.
Tao Tao unceremoniously ordered several signature dishes on the menu. While ordering, he said to Zhu Shichu, "Shichu, why are you suddenly so rude to my brother today? You used to have a good temper and never embarrassed anyone."
"Did I embarrass your brother just now?" Zhu Shichu asked her with his innocent eyes wide open. "I was just following your brother's words and honestly saying that I really minded him participating in our party here. Was that being rude to him?"
Tao Tao was choked by her words and was speechless. If she didn't know that Zhu Shichu was indeed a naive and innocent girl before, she would have suspected that she was deliberately saying these words to mock her.
"Haha, no, I said the wrong thing, don't mind it." Tao Tao, who was used to observing people's words and expressions in a big family, quickly said with a smile.
"Of course I don't care. Your brother and I have nothing in common." Zhu Shichu said directly.
"Shi Chu, don't you think my brother is also very good-looking? Is it possible that you don't like him?" Tao Tao said in a half-hearted way, "Although my brother is not a very powerful person, he is at least a young and promising young talent, right?"
Although Taotao didn't say it, she was actually a little jealous and envious of Zhu Shichu in her heart, because Zhu Shichu had been loved by his parents since he was a child, and although he had an older brother, he never had to engage in intrigue. This made Taotao, who had to please several powerful people in the family, very jealous.
Zhu Shichu shrugged and said, "Taotao, you and I are good friends, so your brother is almost like my brother. How could I have any fantasies about him? So no matter how good-looking or outstanding your brother is, I will never have any desire for him. Don't worry."
Tao Tao paused, and looking at Zhu Shichu's frank appearance, he suddenly felt tired, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, it doesn't matter if you are not interested in my brother, there are many men who are better than him anyway."
Although Taotao had complicated thoughts, she knew what her family was fighting about, so she decided not to drag her innocent sisters into the mud.
"Are you really going to apply for the airship major?" Tao Tao poked at the food on the plate unhappily and asked Zhu Shichu, "Then we can no longer be inseparable like before."
She couldn't help but feel a little sad when she said this: "My family wanted me to study those family arts, wanted me to become an outstanding socialite, and it would be best if I could marry into a higher-class family..."
Zhu Shichu patted her hands and comforted her: "Actually, if you don't want to, there are still many other ways out."
Taotao smiled and shook his head, "No, there's nothing wrong with following my family's wishes and studying family arts. At least it won't be too hard, right? I'm a vain and lazy person, and I don't want to work hard on my own. Marrying someone is a good way out that meets my own requirements."
Zhu Shichu suddenly didn't know what to say. Everyone has their own aspirations and they choose their own paths. No one else can replace them.
Zhu Shichu herself is a person who loves leisure and hates work. If she was not interested, she would just eat and wait for food to be a vase and study a free and stress-free major.
But isn't she interested in airships now? So she decided not to be a lazy person for the time being. It's better to strive for it occasionally, so as not to be lazy for too long and eventually become too decadent.
What's more, her brother in this life seems to be unreliable. If she doesn't stand up for herself, she will probably be dragged into the abyss by him again.
