When the alarm clock rang, Tong Yu jumped up from the bed and was startled. I had insomnia last night, and I played with my mobile phone until a little more than one o'clock before I went to sleep, and I thought that I would definitely receive a series of fatal calls from Li Man this morning to get up.

glanced at the mobile phone screen, it was only six o'clock in the morning, Tong Yu thought that he should have a job today, and there was always a string in his heart, so he woke up quickly when he heard the alarm clock. Thinking of this, Tong Yu is very satisfied with his attitude towards his enthusiasm for work, he is worthy of being an old actor who has been in the industry for more than ten years, he is really dedicated.

However, this pride lasted less than ten minutes before Tong Yu was hit.

After humming a little song, brushing his teeth and washing his face, he planned to make a loving breakfast for Ai Xin to correct his boyfriend's position, but found that a hearty breakfast had already been set on the table, and when he opened the lid of the small casserole, the beef porridge inside was still steaming.

Tong Yu was not curious at all about how Ai Xin managed to make a table of breakfast at six o'clock in the morning, he was curious that Ai Xin was no longer at home at six o'clock, even coffee shops and restaurants did not open so early, what was Ai Xin busy with at this time?

But there's no point in thinking about it, Ai Xin's busy career Tong Yu can hardly help anything, all he can do is to film hard to make more money, and it's already good not to let Ai Xin worry about it. When he thought that before, through Ai Xin's help, he had variety shows and magazine covers to be on, and he was a little discouraged.

Ai Xin stood in front of the mansion and thought for almost ten minutes before finally mustering up the courage to press the call bell. Meeting guests at seven o'clock in the morning is really a difficult thing for many people to accept, and she is no exception. Think about it, the relationship between the two parties has reached this stage, and the other party is only free at this time. In addition, Ai Xin understands very well that successful people also have much less time to sleep than ordinary people.

"Ouch, Ai?"

The voice of Steward Zhong sounded quite surprised from the pager, and he probably didn't expect that Ai Xin would come to visit at seven o'clock in the morning.

"Uncle Zhong. Ai Xin answered, and said hello, "Uncle Tao called me here." ”

"Hey, okay, I'll open the door for you. ”

Uncle Zhong replied over there, and a second later, the gate of the manor opened.

The so-called thief has a weak heart, although Ai Xin is occasionally nervous when he sees Tao Shengyang, he will never be afraid. But recently, I helped other people's sons to do the company, and I had to be independent, so I didn't have to guess to know what Tao Shengyang was asking for today. Ai Xin took a breath, what should have come sooner or later, so he could only walk in to meet the coming storm.

As soon as he entered the house, Uncle Zhong warmly took Ai Xin's coat and greeted her with a smile: "Come in, breakfast is just right, your Uncle Tao is waiting." ”

"Well, thank you, Uncle Zhong. Ai Xin nodded, and walked to the restaurant by himself.

Sure enough, Tao Shengyang was wearing a nightgown and was sitting at the dining table reading a financial magazine. However, unlike what Uncle Zhong said, Tao Shengyang didn't wait for Ai Xin at all, but ate fried dough sticks by himself, looking quite enjoyable.

Ai Xin quickly glanced at the restaurant, it was normal for Tao Li to be there, after all, if Tao Shengyang wanted to set himself today, it would be difficult for Tao Li to operate. But the strange thing is that Li Jingyi is not there, Ai thought to himself, could it be that Tao Shengyang felt that this was a business matter rather than a family matter, so he didn't call Li Jingyi?

"Uncle Tao. ”

Ai Xin stood at the table for a while, and Tao Shengyang didn't call her, so she had to say hello awkwardly and look at Tao Shengyang nervously.

"Are you here?" Ming Ming knew that Ai Xin had come in, but Tao Shengyang pretended to have just seen her, put down the magazine in his hand, and pointed to the seat opposite him, "Sit, Aunt Liu boiled beef porridge in the morning, drink some." ”

Although the atmosphere was serious, Ai Xin still couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. I just boiled a pot of beef porridge before I went out, and drank two small bowls, but I came to Tao's house and had to continue to drink beef porridge, it seems that I still have salad for lunch today.

"Well, thank you, Uncle Tao. ”

Ai Xin nodded, sat on the mahogany chair, picked up the small bowl on the table, and drank the porridge gently with the small spoon without making a sound.

Tao Shengyang glanced at Ai Xin through his glasses, and then returned his gaze to the magazine. To be honest, he has always admired Ai Xin very much, she has no problems with the children of rich families, neither smokes nor drugs, nor is she particularly extravagant, and her upbringing is even better than ordinary people, and she is thoughtful in all aspects of the world. But now, he was angry with her inexplicably.

"How's it going, is it delicious?"

After Ai Xin drank a whole bowl of porridge and gently put down the small bowl, Tao Shengyang looked at her and opened her mouth.

"Well, it's delicious!"

Ai Xin looked at Tao Shengyang seriously, there was no boasting at all, Aunt Liu's craftsmanship, she couldn't even catch up with one-tenth.

"You see, our porridge is not drunk by others. ”

Tao Shengyang picked up the chopsticks, ate the small pickles on the table, and said lukewarmly.

Ai Xin's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and after a few seconds, he quickly reacted to the meaning of Tao Shengyang's words. In fact, he is right, the Tao family has treated Ai Xin for so many years, although it cannot be said that it is regarded as its own, but it is indeed extraordinarily pampered and tolerant. And now, Tao Li wants to get rid of the control of his family and set up his own door. I don't say that I can help dissuade him, but I have to give Tao Li financial support and help start a company together, which is undoubtedly a huge provocation for Tao Shengyang.

"Uncle ......"

Ai Xin opened his mouth, wanting to say something but couldn't find the right words, and was directly interrupted by Tao Shengyang.

"Needless to say, those pretty words. ”

Tao Shengyang pushed his glasses, and Ai Xin's clenched palms were sweating. She knew that Tao Shengyang's action meant that he was already angry.

"Our Tao family, I won't say what I do to you, but Tao Li is looking at you. I don't blame you if you don't pull a fire pit, but you want to jump with it, isn't it stupid?"

Fire...... Ai Xin pondered this word repeatedly in her heart, she didn't understand, Tao Li's move was only disobedience at most, but there was no trap in it, so how could she talk about the fire pit?

"Do you think that if he really wants to do something, I will have no choice?" Tao Shengyang laughed and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"But he ...... Now...... "Everything is going well...... Ai Xinqiang held back the second half of the sentence, he must not expose Tao Li's current process in front of Tao Shengyang.

"It's going well now, isn't it?"

“......”

Ai Xin was stunned, not knowing the meaning of Tao Shengyang's words. Since he knew everything about Tao Li's every move, what was he calling for today? Could it be that he ......

"The start must have gone well, otherwise this stupid boy wouldn't have jumped in a hurry. When everything is done and the company is up, there will be projects coming in, which is not small, enough for the most basic operation of the company. However, when everything looks like it's on track and starts to show good signs, you'll fall into all sorts of losses, and in the end you won't lose a dime, and maybe you'll still be in debt. ”

I see...... Ai Xin's premonition just now was not wrong, and sure enough, Tao Shengyang's smooth sailing was all behind Tao Shengyang's back, and she used to wonder how Tao Li's decision could have been carried out so quickly and smoothly not long ago. But according to Tao Shengyang's words, since he has the ability to make Tao Li independent, he also has the ability to make Tao Li lose his family, and in the end he can only return home in despair, admit that he is a mediocre talent, and obediently be his own Tao family master from now on, and will never have the idea of wanting to be independent.

But the key is, this is his Tao Shengyang's only son, it's too late to pamper him, why do you want to hit him so much? Besides, the wool is out of the sheep, Tao Li's current funds are to put it bluntly, most of them still come from Tao, and it is still Tao who fills in the hole for him after losing his capital, Ai Xin doesn't understand why Tao Shengyang wants to do this kind of thing that hurts the enemy by one thousand and damages eight hundred. What's more, Tao Li is not an enemy at all for Tao Shengyang.

"Xiao Ai, what I appreciate most about you is your mind. Tao Shengyang narrowed his eyes and looked at Ai Xin, who was sitting across from him without saying a word, "Presumably, you have already figured out the stakes of this matter, right?

"Uncle, I don't understand. Ai Xin looked at the scheming Tao Shengyang and frowned slightly, "Tao Li just wants to be independent, not hostile to you." If he does a good job, the industry will praise you for teaching your son well, and eventually the money will flow back to Dow. He's just trying to prove himself, so why can't he be given this chance?"

"I don't need people to say that I teach my children well. I don't have it, I know it myself. I think, Tao Li and you didn't tell it all. Hearing Tao Li's words that he wanted to prove himself, Tao Shengyang couldn't help laughing, a trace of wrinkles squeezed out of his handsome face, and he looked much kinder.

"Tell it all?"

Ai Xin was stunned, could it be said that Tao Li still had a secret from herself in this matter? No, she trusted Tao Li, and even more trusted her own eyes to see people, she couldn't see any concealment from Tao Li, all the business documents had also passed through her hands, and Tao Li had no chance to give herself a set.

"Xiao Ai, do you remember when you graduated from college, your uncle came to school?"

Tao Shengyang didn't answer Ai Xin's question, but suddenly mentioned an irrelevant matter.

"Of course I do. ”

Ai Xin nodded, which was one of the main reasons why she decided to help Tao Li in the first place.

Her parents died before she could go to college, and the added attribute of both parents didn't add to her problems in college. Although she didn't say it, when she graduated, she was still envious when she saw that other classmates had their parents rushing to take a photo with the children in their bachelor's uniforms. At that time, Tao Li saw her thoughts, and he didn't know what method he used to invite Tao Shengyang, who was in a hurry. In this way, Tao Shengyang, as Ai Xin's guardian, took a photo with her on stage, and accompanied the two of them to leave a lot of group photos at school. Although he is someone else's father, he finally fulfilled one of Ai Xin's wishes, and let her taste the joy and sense of belonging of a family when a child from a normal family graduated from college, and she no longer has to endure strange eyes walking on campus, which makes her extremely grateful to Tao Li and the Tao family.

Ai Xin didn't understand the reason why Tao Shengyang mentioned this matter at this time, probably to remind himself, don't forget the help that the Tao family once gave him.

"At that time, Tao Li begged me for three days before I agreed to such an unreasonable request. And Tao Li's condition to me is that I can't be with you in this life. ”

"Bang-"

Before Ai Xin could react to Tao Shengyang's words, she heard the sound of dishes falling on the ground, and her first reaction was actually distressed by the Tao family's good jade floor tiles. When I looked up again, I saw Li Jingyi standing behind Tao Shengyang with a stunned face.

"What are you going to do?"

Tao Shengyang saw the expression on Ai Xin's face, and without thinking about it, he knew that it was Li Jingyi, his brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head to look at her with some complaints.

"I, I ......"

Li Jingyi stood in place, probably because Tao Shengyang's sudden revelation just now was too exciting, and she was speechless for a while.

"Auntie!" Ai Xin stood up and shouted, and Li Jingyi came back to her senses.

Ai Xin walked up to her and held her arm, squeezing out a gentle smile on her face: "Auntie, don't be scared, I'm joking with my uncle." This is a play that Tao Li and I invested in, and I was demonstrating the plot to my uncle just now, and my uncle cooperated with me to joke about Tao Li. ”

After saying that, Ai Xin turned his head and glanced at Tao Shengyang again: "You say yes, uncle." ”

"Well, I'm playing with Xiao Ai, you go back to the house first. Tao Shengyang nodded, his brows furrowed even tighter.

"You, are you serious?" Li Jingyi held Ai Xin's hand and looked at her in disbelief.

"Really, Auntie, when did I lie to you, a youth idol drama, the male protagonist is a rich second generation, and then his parents beat him to death and disagree with the heroine entering the door, it's all an old plot, I'll just play with my uncle. ”

"Okay. Li Jingyi stroked her chest, took another deep breath, and then calmed down, "Then you guys talk first, I'll go to the garden to breathe." ”

"Okay, Auntie, slow down, I'll let Aunt Liu help you. ”

"No, I'm not that weak. Li Jingyi let go of Ai Xin's hand, patted her chest, and walked towards the garden, her mouth kept muttering, "Scared me to death, scared me to death......"

It wasn't until Li Jingyi left the restaurant completely that Tao Shengyang's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and he returned his gaze to Ai Xin's body.

"Thank you. ”

"It's nothing, Auntie has a bad heart, and I'm worried too. ”

Ai Xin smiled reluctantly, but he was still thinking about Tao Shengyang's words just now. She knew that Tao Li used to like her, but it was just that she was ignorant when she was young, and Tao Li was unwilling to meet such a guy who didn't eat oil and salt. As for the condition that Tao Shengyang said, let alone knowing it or not, Ai Xin even doubted the authenticity of this matter.

"If you want to come to Tao Li, such a good-looking person, he won't tell you this. Tao Shengyang cleared his throat and returned to the topic just now, "I don't want to say more, in short, the reason why Tao Li has to stand on his own this time is because he doesn't want to follow the family's arrangement to get married." And the reason why he doesn't want to marry is you. He's still not dead to you. ”

"Bang-"

Another loud bang roared in Ai Xin's ears, and Ai Xin subconsciously glanced around, and nothing fell to the ground. The sound lasted for a few more seconds before Ai Xin reacted, and the sound came from his chest.

Tao Li, ...... to himself

A loud beep sounded in Ai Xin's ears, and her brain was a mess, and she lost the ability to think.
