Chapter 92 Tao Family Birthday Banquet (3)
Finally, after the two of them took turns persuading him, one after the other, in a coordinated and back-and-forth manner, he finally succeeded.
To avoid worrying the two, Tao Tao hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing to go in.
Just a second before going inside, he suddenly grabbed Tao Ying's hand, looked up, and spoke with a serious expression.
"Big sister, if you see him coming, you must tell me right away!"
He looked as if this matter was extremely important to him.
Tao Ying naturally knew who the "he" her younger brother was talking about was.
She smiled and gently patted Tao Tao's head, replying softly, "Okay, Xiao Bao, go inside now."
Tao Yue put her arm around Tao Tao's shoulder and led him inside, saying as they walked, "Does Tao Tao really like that Xie Qing that much?"
"Why don't we just let him marry into the Tao family and become your wife? What do you think, Taobao?"
Tao Tao shook her head and hands together, her face turning red with anxiety. "No, no, no, I don't like him that way, I admire him. Third Sister, don't talk nonsense."
Tao Yue poked her younger brother's rosy cheeks, assuming he was just shy, and teased him, "Your face is all red, and you still say you don't like him."
Tao Tao realized he couldn't explain it to her, so he pouted and didn't want to talk to her anymore.
He silently increased his speed and quickly left his opponent far behind.
Tao Yue snapped out of her daze and immediately called out, "Tao Tao, wait for your older sister..."
Tao Tao noticed more eyes on her and immediately lowered her head, but even faster.
When the two entered Tao's father's room, they found that they seemed to be discussing something inside.
When Tao's father saw the two of them come in, he ended his conversation with Tao Wan and said with a kind smile, "You're here."
Tao Yue exclaimed dramatically, "Father, I'm back with Taobao Baby! It has to be me!"
Tao's father laughed twice, said "Yes," and then beckoned Tao Tao over.
Seeing this, Tao Tao slowly walked over and sat down next to his father.
Mr. Tao pushed the snacks on the tea table toward him and said with a smile.
"The housekeeper made your favorite snacks and saved them for you. You must be hungry after standing outside for so long."
Tao Tao nodded, whispered "Thank you, Dad," and then ate like a little hamster.
Tao Wan, sitting opposite, felt a pang of tenderness.
Oh my god, my little brother is so cute, how can he be so cute?
Tao's mother walked over to Tao Yue, a gentle smile on her face, and gently tapped her head.
"All you do is act silly. What kind of girl dresses like a boy?"
Strangely enough, Tao Yue is the tallest of her five children, standing at a full 1.85 meters.
With her short, slicked-back hair and a suit, anyone who didn't know her would mistake her for her son.
"Mother, what's wrong with me? I'm so handsome! I'm handsome enough to pierce the heavens!"
As he spoke, he struck a cool pose, showcasing his handsomeness from every angle.
This scene prompted the woman sitting on the sofa to snort coldly, her red lips parting slightly as she uttered three icy words, "Tomboy."
Tao Yue made a face at her, "Yes, yes, you're the most feminine."
Although it was said in a joking tone, it is indeed the truth.
Tao Lin, the second young lady of the Tao family, with her powerful family background, stunning looks, and graceful figure, has become the object of pursuit for countless young talents.
She prioritizes looks when choosing a partner; she'll date good-looking men, but each relationship won't last more than three months.
In her words, even the most beautiful clothes can become tiresome after a while, and that's when it's time to get something new.
But what did she do wrong? She was just a little fickle and a little promiscuous, that's all.
Tao Lin's words just now directly drew the blame onto herself.
Tao's mother instantly locked onto her target, then sat down next to Tao Lin and began to mutter to herself.
"Ah Lin, you're over thirty now. So many people like you. Find the one you like the most and settle down."
Tao Lin spread her hands, "I like them all, I can't decide."
Besides, marriage is simply not suitable for her; she doesn't want to put all her eggs in one basket.
Tao's mother was speechless for a moment, taken aback by her words.
"Okay, Mom, don't worry about these things. I know what I'm doing."
Tao Yue stepped forward with a grin, adding fuel to the fire, "Hehehe... Second sister, our little sister is getting married soon, you should hurry up too."
Then she noticed that after she said that, the other people's expressions turned ugly, and even her second sister, who had been calm and collected just moments before, showed anger on her face.
Tao Yue was confused and looked bewildered. "Wh...what's wrong?"
Tao's father's once kind face turned serious, and he threw a stack of photos in the center of the table.
"look by youself."
Tao Yue stepped forward, and after looking at the photos, she was instantly filled with rage, wishing she could kill Gu Yan.
"Damn it, that damned Gu Yan is all lovey-dovey with other men and he even wants to marry my little sister. What does he take my sister for?"
Tao Tao also picked up a photo and looked at it. It showed two men kissing, one of whom was his fourth sister's fiancé.
He frowned, looking as angry as a little pufferfish.
Tao Tao walked to the opposite side and sat down next to Tao Wan, comforting her, "Fourth Sister, don't be sad, this person is not good enough for you."
Tao Wan smiled and patted her younger brother's head. "I'm fine. Your fourth sister doesn't need to be sad over someone like that."
I just didn't expect that the other party was really as hypocritical as Xie Qing said. No, I should say that the entire Gu family is extremely hypocritical.
Tao Yue paced back and forth in a huff.
"No, I can't swallow this insult. I'm going down there to beat that scum to death."
Tao Yue stormed out, but her father stopped her.
"Stop! Your recklessness will only make things worse."
"So, we're just leaving it at that?"
A fierce glint flashed in Tao's father's eyes. "Of course we can't let this go. The Gu family deceived us first, so we don't need to give them any face."
"At the birthday banquet tonight, I will announce the cancellation of the marriage between the two families."

The Tao family's gate was filled with all kinds of luxury cars, and some guests hadn't even gone inside yet.
They stood in front of the car, arm in arm with their female companions, chatting with familiar people.
Just then, a black Cayenne drove up and soon stopped a short distance away.
Someone noticed the car's rather "domineering" license plate and nudged the person next to them.
"Hey, look at that car, its license plate is way too flashy, it's all the number eight."
The person who spoke stroked his chin and asked doubtfully, "Does anyone in City A own a car with only the number eight?"
The person next to him shook his head. "How would I know? Anyway, license plates with all the same numbers are pretty hard to get. That guy's got guts. Do you think we should go over and say hello or something?"
The next second, the man who had just started speaking became excited, "Look, look, the car door is open."
