Chapter 255: The Perfect Brother
The dinner at the Tao family was held in an unbearable silence. There was a huge dining table with sumptuous dishes, but Tao Zhi was the only one eating alone.
Tao Zhiwei only took one or two bites of each dish before he lost his appetite and couldn't eat any more.
The housekeeper watched him put down his chopsticks from a distance, then looked at the closed door on the second floor. Throughout his career, this brother and sister had always been polite to each other and had never had any major conflicts. This was the first time they had quarreled and the first cold war.
Tao Zhiwei went upstairs and prepared to return to his room. As soon as he stepped onto the first step, he couldn't help but turn around and call the housekeeper to ask him, "What does Yaoyao usually do at home?"
For an older brother, this question seemed a bit ridiculous.
But Tao Zhiwei realized that he didn't understand his sister at all, and he hoped to get some recognition from the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said, "The eldest daughter bought a camera online when she was about to graduate. I signed for the camera. Since then, she has often left home early and returned late." Fearing that Tao Zhiwei would misunderstand that Tao Zhiyao was not doing his job properly, the usually cautious housekeeper spoke up for Tao Zhiyao.
"Xiao Zhao (Tao Zhiyao's driver) told me that the eldest lady formed a team with a group of friends to shoot online videos. She was in charge of the videography. The workload was quite heavy and she was very busy. She invited her friends here today to borrow the piano in the living room to shoot a video."
The housekeeper took out his mobile phone. People of his age seldom watch videos on the Internet. Under Xiao Zhao's guidance, he went online to download the 11th episode of "Little World Senior" filmed by Tao Zhiyao, as well as the recently popular "Cute Pet Hospital", and saved them in his mobile phone.

"Look, this is the eldest lady's work. It is very outstanding."
Tao Zhiwei took the housekeeper's phone and clicked on the video.
In the first video, he saw the only girl in the group who dared to look him in the face and smile at him. In his sister's camera, the girl was wearing a blue dress and was incredibly beautiful.
He could imagine that his sister must like her very much, because every frame of the video was carefully crafted and full of affection.
The second video is about pets, cats and dogs, it’s so lively.
He remembered what Tao Zhiyao said, that she liked cats.
Yes, they had known for a long time that she liked cats. Since she was a child, Tao Zhiyao had indeed begged them several times that she wanted to keep a cat, but she was rejected every time. Later, she never mentioned it again.
Unexpectedly, this became her obsession.
Tao Zhiwei felt deeply guilty. He didn't know his sister was a photographer and had never cared about her hobby. He admitted that he was not a competent brother.
"Later, ask the kitchen to make some sweet porridge and send it to Yaoyao," Tao Zhiwei said to the housekeeper.
The butler nodded.
How could Tao Zhiwei bear to see his sister starve?
Under the elite education of his parents, he is a somewhat strong person, but that does not mean that he does not love Tao Zhiyao, so Tao Zhiyao does not go out to work and still has endless pocket money.
Tao Zhiwei transferred all the money to her!
Tao Zhiyao lay on the bed, his body stretched out, staring blankly at the gorgeous ceiling, feeling sad and decadent.
Before she met Liu Lan and the others, this was her normal state—a non-mainstream rich girl who lived in a huge house, didn’t like to go out, and only liked to play with her phone.
She comforted herself in her heart, it was no big deal, there was nothing to complain about, she should have been used to it, hadn't her family always been so self-righteous?
In this family, she always felt that she was the superfluous one, like the pickled vegetables that came with the lunch box, which were sour and salty to eat but a pity to throw away.
From her brother's name "Wei", we can tell that his parents thought his brother was the "only" and "unique", but eight years later, they inexplicably gave birth to her.
Since childhood, her brother has been more handsome, smarter, and has a better personality than her. He is the family's designated heir and carries everyone's hopes.
Her parents obviously favored boys over girls, and they always unconsciously focused their attention on her brother, devoting more effort to him. Her brother lived up to everyone's expectations, grew up to be excellent in every way, and successfully took over the company from their father and shouldered the heavy responsibility.
Everyone in the family couldn't help but smile when they saw her brother, but when they saw her, haha, she was a freak.
Wasn't she lady enough, wasn't she a celebrity enough? But no matter how well she did, she could never be better than her brother, and her parents wouldn't look up to her.
It's like she'll never learn to play the piano.
Tao Zhiyao buried his face in the pillow.
At this moment, the faint sound of piano came into her bedroom.
