Chapter 588: Toast to Celebrate
After Tao Zhiwei spent money to buy Xinghe, he immediately gave half of the company's shares to Tao Zhiyao, because his parents said that they would not let Tao Zhiyao inherit a penny from the Tao family.
He knew his parents well. He knew how they had ignored Tao Zhiyao over the years. They would really keep their word. He couldn't let his sister live without any means to make a living.
Tao Zhiwei wanted to transfer some more shares of Jintao to Tao Zhiyao, but at this moment, their parents were angry and his father was watching his every move. He had no way to touch the group's assets for the time being. The funds he used to buy Xinghe were all from his own pocket. However, he was not as rich as Yu Zhan, and the cash was not enough. He scraped together money from everywhere, but still needed 200 million!
The originally cheerful atmosphere in the box became strange because of the dispute between Tang Tu and Tao Zhiyao over beer and Coke.
Tao Zhiyao hid her emotions very deeply. She was still happily decorating the villa with Sun Weiwei every day and filming "Cute Pet Hospital" 4 with Ye Ziliang. It was impossible to tell that such a big thing had happened in her family.
Tao Zhiwei is a reserved, steady and successful businessman, and he would never spread his family's scandals everywhere, so even Yu Zhan doesn't know the details.
Sun Weiwei had actually guessed some of it, otherwise why would Tao Zhiyao leave her own mansion and come to live alone in the simple villa they rented, and even wanted to move her own cloakroom over? The most important thing was that she brought her three cats to the villa two days ago.
Shen Mozhen blamed Tang Tu and said, "If she wants to drink beer, you can just not drink it while driving. Why are you being so nosy? Besides, why can't girls drink beer? I'll drink with her!"
Probably Shen Mozhen was the only one in the group who dared to speak to Tang Tu in this tone. Tang Tu also felt that he was meddling in other people's business. He and Tao Zhiyao were not familiar with each other at all. He just felt a little sorry for her, but the other party didn't appreciate it at all. It was really like his kindness was taken for granted.

...
The most embarrassed thing was the waitress, she didn't know whether to serve Coke or beer.
Finally, Yu Zhan, the oldest person present, tried to smooth things over with the waiter, saying, "Give me a dozen of both Coke and beer."
"It's a rare day of happiness today, so it's okay to drink a little beer. We can call a designated driver then."
Tao Zhiyao looked at Yu Zhan. Of the two handsome guys, he was more pleasing to the eye! Tang Tu was really sick. They had met at a banquet before, and he didn't even want to talk to her. He was pretending to be kind and pretentious here! However, since Tang Tu already knew her family affairs and showed it so disappointingly, she felt that there was no need to hide it from her friends anymore. She said to everyone generously, "In fact, like Goddess Shen, I was also kicked out by my family."
"My parents don't like being an internet celebrity, they don't like cats, they don't like me holding a camera. In short, they don't like anything I like. I couldn't get along with them, so I had to move out."
She spoke with full energy and majestic voice, without any trace of the embarrassment of a "stray dog". When she mentioned the huge differences between herself and her parents, there was no depressed or sad expression on her face, as if she was talking about two strangers.
Liu Lan remembered that Tao Zhiyao once told her that her relationship with her parents had never been good, and wealthy families particularly valued reputation, which was indeed an irreconcilable contradiction.
Shen Mozhen really felt the same way, but her relationship with her parents was relatively harmonious, not as bad as that of the Tao family. At least her father still supported her.
Li Xiaoru sighed, "You ladies from rich families don't have an easy life either!"
Miao Xiaomei said, "Every family has its own troubles. The poor have their own troubles, and the rich have their own troubles. Maybe life is just a struggle."
"Well said, my little sister is always silent, but she can say something shocking!" Tao Zhiyao said, "You don't have to worry about me. Don't worry, even if the sky falls, my brother will protect me."
When this was said, everyone laughed. Yes, Tao Zhiyao didn't have a good father, but she had a good brother. Tao Zhiwei might not be good at saying comforting words, but he used more than 400 million yuan of actual actions to prove that he and his sister were on the same side.
At this time, the waiter also brought up beer and Coke. Everyone was poured a glass of beer. Tao Zhiyao raised his glass first, "Let's not waste any more time. Let's drink while we can. No matter how many troubles we have! Cheers, cheers."
Nine people clinked their glasses together at the same time, and the wine in the glasses sparkled with a crystal clear luster under the light.
"Wait a minute, don't move, I'm going to take a picture and post it on Weibo and Moments," Tao Zhiyao suddenly said this and immediately took out his cell phone, making others laugh and cry.
Tao Zhiyao only took pictures of nine hands holding wine glasses and did not take pictures of anyone's face. Everyone waited until she finished taking pictures before drinking the wine in the glass.
Liu Lan had never drunk beer before, so she took a big gulp boldly this time. It was so bitter that she squinted her eyes, but when the beer went down her throat, she felt it was particularly refreshing. No wonder Tao Zhiyao insisted on ordering beer. The feeling of drinking cold beer in the middle of winter with the heater on really made people feel thrilled.
