What is the status of the Ye family in Guangshi, and what is the status of the Tao family in Guangshi? The Tao family wants to have a blind date with the Ye family, which clearly shows that the two families want to have a political marriage.
Tao Jing really didn't expect that such a thing would happen to her. After all, there were many girls in the Tao family who were better than her, and she was not a suitable candidate for marriage no matter what.
Tao Jing: “I’m not going.”
Father Tao: "You have to go even if you don't want to. Do you think our Tao family is still as prosperous as before? In recent years, our Tao family has lost its former momentum. We can only live in fear. Now that the Ye family is thriving, our Tao family is already taking advantage of the political marriage with them."
Tao's mother: "Your cousin has a career, what do you have? Your uncle is more successful than your father, and you still want to compete with him? I tell you that marriage is a woman's second life. If you marry Ye Kangning, it will only benefit the Tao family and your father's future."
Seeing Tao Jing's unmoved expression, Tao's father was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her: "Tao Jing, we didn't stop you from doing anything you wanted to do these years. Now you are almost 30 years old, it's time to concentrate. You haven't met Ye Kangning, you don't know how good he is. Baiyun Technology was founded by him when he was in college, and its assets exceeded 100 million in just a few years. Such an outstanding young man is more than enough for you, don't be ungrateful."
Tao Jing couldn't listen any more and a bitter smile appeared in her heart.
Not only do my parents look down on the work I do and belittle me, they even want to control my life at will.
Tao Jing sighed: "No matter how outstanding Ye Kangning is, he has nothing to do with me. Besides, it's a different era now. How can I marry a stranger just because of a few words from you? No matter how much you say, I won't go on a blind date with him!"
No matter what Tao's father and mother said, Tao Jing was determined not to agree. Tao's father could no longer bear it and became furious and locked Tao Jing in the room.
They said that if she didn't agree to go on a blind date with Ye Kangning, then they would not release Tao Jing, nor would they allow Tao Jing to go to Yu City again. They even called Tao Shu to do ideological work on Tao Jing.
Tao Jing was originally extremely anxious and had been thinking of ways to escape, but when she heard that Tao Shu was coming, she was no longer panicked.
As soon as she saw Tao Shu, she threatened her that if she didn't help her get herself released, she would tell everyone that Tao Shu had hired actors to play Pei Zhisheng's family.
Tao Shu was almost furious. She had come to Tao Jing to suppress her arrogance, but she ended up being controlled by her instead.
But Tao Shu was still afraid. If Tao Jing kept making a fuss at home and Tao Jiguo heard it, then Tao Jijun would naturally know, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Tao Shu was so angry that she had to agree to Tao Jing's request.
Under Tao Shu's cover, Tao Jing quickly escaped from home and boarded the train to Ji City with her suitcase.
Before Tao Shu could catch her breath, she was called to the study by Tao Jianjun as soon as she returned home. Pei Zhisheng was standing in the study, and his face looked a little bad.
Tao Jing felt a little uneasy, and then she heard Tao Jijun sternly ask: "Tell me honestly, who are those people you brought home for dinner during the Chinese New Year? They are not Pei Zhisheng's family, right?"
Tao Shu refused to admit it, and Tao Jijun said, "How long do you want to lie to me? If I hadn't heard what Siqi said to her nanny, I wouldn't have known you were so bold."
Tao Jijun heard Pei Siqi complain to her closest nanny that when she went to her grandmother's house, her grandmother and her family were very fierce and even drove her and her parents out.
If the situation was really as Siqi said, then there was no way Pei Zhisheng's family would be willing to come to Guangshi with them.
Then where did the so-called Pei Zhisheng's family who had dinner with the Tao family come from?
Tao Jijun finally understood why he always felt that Pei Zhisheng's attitude towards those people was a little weird. They were obviously relatives, but it was hard to tell how close their relationship was.
Although those so-called Pei family members always looked smiling, they were always a little humble when facing Pei Zhisheng and Tao Shu, and even spoke cautiously.
Tao Jijun had previously thought that it was because the Pei family came from rural areas and had never seen the world, so they were a little timid.
But now I think it's totally wrong.
It turns out that it was because those people were fake.
Tao Shu's face turned pale. She knew she could not hide it any longer, so she told the Pei family everything that happened to them. As she spoke, she began to complain, saying that she was very angry and scolded the Pei family for being unreasonable.
Tao Jijun was about to say something, but at this moment Tao Jiguo and his wife hurried over and asked Tao Shu why she sent Tao Jing away?
Tao Shu: “…”
Tao Shu's face turned pale and blue as Tao Jijun and Tao Jiguo kept accusing her.
He hated the Pei family who were far away in Huangsha Village even more. After all, all this was their fault. If it weren't for them, why would they have found some actors to act out the show?
Tao Shu was being scolded by her elders here, while Tao Jing had successfully boarded the green train to Yu City.
Even more fortunately, she bought a double room in a premium soft sleeper.
There is usually only one soft sleeper car on the train, and Tao Jing could rarely buy one before. She didn't expect that she could buy a high-end soft sleeper this time after rushing here in such a hurry.
Tao Jing lamented that her luck seemed to be pretty good.
She sat on her bed and took out toiletries from her suitcase.
At this time, a person came in from outside and walked to the bed next to Tao Jing.
Tao Jing looked up and realized that there was a man on the bed opposite her.
The man was making the bed with his back to Tao Jing. He was wearing a white shirt and suit pants, and his outfit was simple and neat, but from the back one could tell that he was tall, with long legs and a good figure.
Tao Jing subconsciously took a few more glances at the pair of long legs and thought to herself, with such a tall person sleeping in such a small bed, how can the legs fit?
Suddenly, the man turned his head and met Tao Jing's eyes.
The two looked at each other, and Tao Jing instantly felt a little awkward.
The man's facial features were a bit fierce, with sharp and deep brow bones, angular jaw lines, thin lips tightly pursed, and a look of confusion in his eyes, as if he was asking Tao Jing why she was looking at him.
Tao Jing quickly retracted her gaze and said sorry.
The man didn't say anything. After making the bed, he walked out with his long legs.
Tao Jing finished reading the book in her hand and put it in the suitcase. She didn't see the man on the bed opposite her come back.
Tao Jing took out her watch to check the time and found that it was already noon. She was about to get out of bed to eat.
At this moment, the man came back with a bucket of instant noodles. The aroma of the noodles made Tao Jing feel a little hungry.
Moreover, the man's posture when eating instant noodles did not look like he was eating instant noodles. Instead, it was as elegant as eating Western food, which showed that he had good family education.
But from his slightly disgusted look, it can be seen that he is very dissatisfied with this box of instant noodles.
Tao Jing was just about to go to the train restaurant to have a meal when she suddenly thought of something. She fished out her wallet from her bag, opened it, and found that there were only a few thin bills in it, probably enough for a taxi back.
If she were to dine lavishly at the train restaurant, she would have very little money left.
It was all her fault that she left in such a hurry and didn't bring much money with her.
So Tao Jing bought a bucket of instant noodles and went to get some boiling water.
By the time Tao Jing brought her instant noodles back, the man had already finished eating them and had disappeared.
After Tao Jing finished her noodles, she was holding the instant noodle bucket with only the instant noodle soup left and was about to go out to throw it away, but she unexpectedly bumped into the man.
Tao Jing didn't hold the instant noodle bucket firmly and it was knocked away.
The soup did not splash onto Tao Jing's clothes, but most of the soup in the instant noodle bucket spilled onto the man's bed.
The snow-white bed sheet was instantly soaked by the instant noodle soup and turned into a wrinkled ball. Tao Jing suddenly felt unwell.
She quickly apologized to the man.
The man frowned, looked at his bed sheet, said "It's okay", turned around and asked the flight attendant to change the bed sheet.
Tao Jing felt that in just these few short hours, she had completely lost all her face in this life.
After the man changed all the bedding, he moved his nose and sniffed the bed, seeming a little dissatisfied: "It still smells like instant noodles."
Tao Jing said: "I'm sorry, it was my fault. How about this, let's switch beds. I'll sleep in your bed and you sleep in mine, okay?"
The man looked at her and said, "No, I bumped into you."
Seeing that this man seemed difficult to approach but was actually a reasonable person, Tao Jing smiled at him, and the originally awkward atmosphere was eased.
The man suddenly asked, "Where are you going?"
Tao Jing: "Yushi, what about you?"
The man said, "Me too. Recently, a branch of the company expanded its business there, so they sent me there to work. Are you there for work as well?"
Tao Jing nodded and said, "I am a native of Guang City, and now I am a teacher in Yu City."
The man said, "Winter vacation probably isn't over yet, why don't you stay home and spend more time with your family?"
Speaking of family, Tao Jing's face stiffened for a moment. She didn't know how angry her parents would be after running away from the Tao family this time.
But Tao Jing was unwilling to go on a blind date no matter what. If she was really going to marry a stranger, what would be the meaning of her life?
Tao Jing: "It's not that I didn't want to stay at home, it's just that I had a conflict with my family. My family insisted that I go on a blind date with a stranger and wanted me to marry him right away. I had no choice but to run away."
Tao Jing looked at the man in front of her and estimated that he should be no more than 25 years old and looked very young. It seemed that he would not have the troubles she had now for the time being.
The man lowered his eyes and said, "There's no need to be so averse to blind dating. Wouldn't it be safer to have your family introduce you to someone? They're a good match, and both parties' identities are compatible. What's wrong with that? Even if it doesn't work out, we can still be friends."
Tao Jing didn't expect that this man looked young but had traditional ideas. She smiled and said, "It's not that simple. My blind date and I have complicated family conditions. If we meet, we might get married very quickly, which is essentially the same as a blind marriage, so I don't really want to..."
Before Tao Jing finished speaking, she saw that the man had already laid down with his back to her and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Tao Jing frowned.
She wondered if she had been too long-winded just now and made others feel annoyed, so she stopped talking and lay down on the bed to rest.
After arriving at Yu City, Tao Jing took a taxi from the train station back home. When she arrived at the door and was about to open it, she suddenly heard the sound of keys turning from behind her.
Tao Jing subconsciously looked back.
Just then my eyes met that person's.
This was none other than the man who had been in the same compartment with her before.
Tao Jing couldn't help but ask: "Why do you live here too?"
The man said, "This is the house the company rented for me."
Tao Jing was surprised and smiled: "That's really a coincidence. It seems that we are neighbors from now on. My name is Tao Jing, Nv Qing Jing."
The man looked at Tao Jing calmly: "Qin Ning."
…
After the winter vacation, it was the second semester of the sixth grade.
Because of the direct promotion this semester, Pei Tiantian lost motivation to study at school, and her energy was almost gone. As soon as the get out of class was over, she lazily lay on the table.
Ma Xiangdong stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking at Pei Tiantian, the little girl who seemed to be glued to the table, and subconsciously wanted to say something.
Suddenly I remembered that Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong were both admitted directly to No. 1 Middle School and became role models for all the students in the school.
Not to mention Pei Tiantian sleeping on the table, even if she slept on the podium, it didn't seem to be a big deal.
When Ma Xiangdong thought of this, he felt compassionate and gave up the idea of educating the little girl and returned to his office.
The last semester passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong finally graduated from elementary school.
Because of their excellent academic performance, their photos were taken and posted on the wall outside the school.
Ma Xiangdong looked at the two photos and felt quite proud. After all, they were all his students. Moreover, they were the only two students in the school's history who were directly admitted to No. 1 Middle School, and they were also the youngest students.
Pei Tiantian is seven years old and Gu Rong is ten years old. Both of them can be called child prodigies.
Of course, since Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong are so outstanding, the gap between them and everyone else is like a chasm, so it seems unrealistic to want to learn from them.
After all, in everyone's eyes, these two people are simply talented players, the kind that no one else can catch up with.
Therefore, the ones who actually received more attention from parents were Pei Zihao and Pei Tianyu, whose academic performance was more down-to-earth.
Both of them used to be the last in the class, but now they have been admitted to the city middle school in advance and they don’t even have to take the entrance examination from primary school to junior high school.
The good grades of the Pei family's children spread throughout the Huangsha Village. After that, many people flocked to the Pei family to discuss study methods with Wang Ruizhen and others and ask them how they taught their children.
