Chapter 227 I Can Help You Meet Him
After Xu Yanze entered the room, he handed the bamboo basket to the housekeeper, walked up the steps skillfully and knocked on Tao Zhi's door. After hearing Tao Zhi shout "Come in", he pushed the door open and went in.
What caught the eye was Tao Zhi's posture with his legs resting on the wall at the head of the bed and his head resting on a huge green dinosaur doll.
At this time, Tao Zhi's collar was loose, his pajamas were wrinkled and messy, and the movement of raising his legs caused the corner of his pajamas to lift up, revealing a small piece of his white belly. The knees of both legs were covered with scabs and yellow and green bruises.
Tao Zhi was playing the game at a crucial point and had no time to look at Xu Yanze.
Xu Yanze waited quietly for him to finish wailing in frustration after losing the game before he spoke.
"Why is your leg injured like this?" Xu Yanze said.
Tao Zhi rolled over on the bed for a few times before looking up at Xu Yanze.
"Why are you still standing? Find a place to sit. We are friends now." Tao Zhi invited Xu Yanze to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Stop talking about my legs."
"I'm telling you, I felt like I was possessed by an evil spirit last month. There's a person who will bring me bad luck whenever I meet her. I seriously suspect that she and I are incompatible in fate."
"My legs are her masterpiece."
"There were so many people outside the fence of the horse farm, but she chose me to pounce on her." Tao Zhi pouted and complained.
"Why do you suddenly feel like going to the horse farm?" Xu Yanze asked.
Tao Zhi felt inexplicably guilty after hearing this.
"I'm just wandering around because I'm bored. Let's stop talking about me and talk about you."
"Guess who I met last month?" Tao Zhi pretended to be mysterious.
Xu Yanze's heart sank when he heard this.
Gongcheng?
Seeing that Xu Yanze didn't say anything, Tao Zhi knew that there was no point in joking with him, so he simply spoke himself.
"I met Ding Jie, haha!"
"She is so beautiful now. She is the kind of person who would be my goddess before me."
"I heard her say that she is now in the entertainment industry thanks to you. She also said that you gave her a particularly good suggestion that can make her child happy and give her a good future." Tao Zhi said with a smile.
Xu Yanze was a little stunned. Wasn’t he going to talk about meeting Gong Cheng?
"By the way, did she give birth to a boy or a girl? Are there any photos? I was busy at the dinner and didn't have time to chat with her for a while." Tao Zhi said.
"Boy, he's cute, I don't have a picture of him."
"If you are interested in him, you can come and play with him when you pick him up to study next week." Xu Yanze said.
Tao Zhi laughed when he heard this. It turned out that little brats are meant to be played with.
Xu Yanze's serious words about playing with other people's children had a funny point in it that made Tao Zhi inexplicably not knowing where to start complaining.
After Tao Zhi finished laughing, Xu Yanze spoke.
"Is that dinner the Gu family's dinner?" Xu Yanze asked.
Tao Zhi was embarrassed for a moment when he heard this, not knowing how to respond.
"You met Gong Cheng." Xu Yanze said in a statement tone.
Well, the man was damn sharp. Tao Zhi is tired.
"We did meet and said hello." Tao Zhi scratched his head.
"Any plans?" Xu Yanze asked.
"What plans do I have? You don't think I still like him, do you? You look down on me too much. Do I look like the kind of person who would go back to my ex?"
"I tell you, my heart doesn't even skip a beat when I see him now. It's no different from seeing a stranger." Tao Zhi said with his nose turned up.
Xu Yanze was silent for a few breaths and was about to speak when the butler knocked on the door. After Tao Zhi answered, the butler came in with some cut peaches.
Tao Zhi casually picked up a piece of peach from the plate and put it in his mouth. The juice burst out in one gulp and Tao Zhi's eyes lit up instantly.
"Butler, the peaches you bought today are good. Go buy some more tomorrow."
Tao Zhi said as he picked up the plate and handed it to Xu Yanze.
"The peaches were brought by Mr. Xu today." said the butler.
Tao Zhi felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, as he was just sitting there.
"Why are you so formal? Why do you bring fruit when you come to play with me?" Tao Zhi said as he stuffed another piece into his mouth.
"If you like, I'll ask Ah Hu to send another basket over tomorrow." Xu Yanze said gently.
After delivering the peaches, the housekeeper did not leave. Instead, he stood in front of Tao Zhi's bed as if he had something to say.
"Is there anything else? Just say it directly, he is not an outsider." Tao Zhi said.
When the housekeeper heard Tao Zhi say this, he spoke.
"My master asked me to investigate Mr. Gong's schedule and got new information. Mr. Gong will attend a dinner party tonight. The time and place have been found out, but only those who are invited can attend this dinner party." said the butler.
After Tao Zhi heard what the housekeeper said, his toes curled up wildly for a moment. He was overwhelmed by shame and felt so awkward that he didn't dare to look at Xu Yanze next to him.
I had just given Xu Yanze a long speech explaining that I had absolutely no intention of rekindling my feelings for Gong Cheng, but right after that he heard me secretly investigating Gong Cheng's itinerary.
The housekeeper was the same. There was no news for half a month, but he chose this exact time to get news.
Tao Zhi laughed a few times out of guilt.
"Okay, I got it. You can go out now." Tao Zhichao said to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper closed the door, and Xu Yanze's calm gaze made Tao Zhi feel that he was being attacked for a moment.
Tao Zhi was still thinking about how to salvage his cool image after the breakup, but Xu Yanze broke the awkward atmosphere first.
"Do you want to see Gong Cheng?" Xu Yanze asked.
"In no mood."
“It’s not that I don’t want to.”
"It's true that I need to see him, but not because I want to see him. It's because I have something to talk to him about. It's very important and I have to see him. Do you understand what I mean?" Tao Zhi said nonsense.
"Yeah." Xu Yanze replied.
"You understand? You really understand?"
Tao Zhi was puzzled. He even confused himself, but he understood it?
"I can help you meet him." Xu Yanze said gently.
"Ah?" Upon hearing that, Tao Zhi sat up straight and leaned closer.
"I'm on the invitation list for tonight's dinner, I can take you with me." Xu Yanze suggested.
Tao Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this. He no longer cared about the cool persona he was trying to maintain in front of Xu Yanze and just grinned.
Tao Zhi had a bright smile in his eyes, and excitedly slapped Xu Yanze on the shoulder, making a crisp "pop" sound.
"You should have said it earlier, Lao Xu. You're so awesome. You just bring the bowl to me when I eat. I love you so much, Lao Xu." After saying that, Tao Zhi got out of bed and started rummaging through the drawers.
In the past three years, Xu Yanze got used to the nonsense that Tao Zhi said when he was excited, but at this moment, his heart trembled when Tao Zhi blurted out "I love you".
Tao Zhi took out a few formal suits.
"What identity do I have to follow you? An assistant? Then should I not dress too handsomely, otherwise it will suppress your aura? How about this one, which is low-key, luxurious and has connotation."
Tao Zhi excitedly unfolded a suit barefoot to show Xu Yanze.
"It looks good." Xu Yanze said gently.
Xu Yanze had a smile on his face, but his eyes were dull.
Are you so happy just because you are preparing to meet him?
