“Pa!”
As soon as Tao Xing finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the face.
He covered his face in disbelief and glared at his father. “Dad, you hit me?”
“Stop it. If you dare to go out and cause trouble again, I’ll break your legs!!”
Old Master Tao had been suppressing his anger. Wouldn’t he be angry after losing five shops? Wouldn’t he be angry after being laughed at by so many people? His family was arrogant and proud before, but today, they were as sarcastic and embarrassed.
He had lost all his face, but he still had to personally go downstairs to clean up the aftermath for his son and protect the last bit of dignity of the Tao family.
It was fine if Tao Xing did not regret it at all, but he actually came up with a bad idea.
Old Master Tao wanted to endure it until he reached home before teaching him a lesson, but his thoughts flew away. He wished he could kick him out of the carriage.
However, Tao Xing had always been pampered at home. His father had never hit him. Now, in front of his elder brother…
“Father, why?”
Master Tao took a deep breath and said to Tao Feng, “Tell him.”
“Second Brother, why can’t you understand?” Tao Feng shook his head and said with a disappointed expression, “That girl is indeed just a country girl, but the Liu family is not. Old Master Liu has been in the business world for so many years. How can he not know how much trouble this white sugar will cause once it appears? How can he not know how many people are secretly eying it? Since he dares to take it out, it means that he has already considered all aspects. Aren’t you afraid that someone will have ill intentions?”
Tao Feng sighed. “The truth is that not only can we not have any crooked thoughts, but even the Liu family can’t get involved in the sugar business.”
Tao Feng was originally not at Jinxiu Restaurant. He had specially rushed over to tell Master Tao after receiving the news so that the Tao family would not suffer.
Tao Xing looked unconvinced. “Even the Liu family didn’t cooperate with her? Who are you kidding? How can a country girl make such a deal?”
“She doesn’t work with the Liu family, but she…” Tao Feng pointed at the sky. “You dare to touch her?”
Tao Xing swallowed his saliva and did not dare to say a word.
Old Master Tao sneered. “After you go back, stay in your courtyard and study obediently. You’re not allowed to go out in a month. Leave the rest to your brother, do you hear me?”
Tao Xing’s eyes widened. “But…”
Tao Feng nodded with a serious expression. “Father, don’t worry. I’ll do my best. Although we can’t interfere with the white sugar matter, we can still make a deal. I’ll go back to the restaurant now and talk to Miss Gu.”
“Yeah.”
After Tao Feng got out of the carriage, Master Tao brought Tao Xing home.
However, Tao Feng was destined to return empty-handed. While the Liu family steward was dealing with the people downstairs, Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan were taken away by Liu Wei from the back door of the restaurant.
Only when the three of them got into the carriage did they slowly heave a sigh of relief.
Liu Wei said, “Gu girl, don’t worry. My father can handle things here. You don’t have to worry that those people will find your Yongfu Village. Brother Qin will block them.”
“Phew, I didn’t expect these people to be so crazy.”
Liu Wei chuckled and suddenly moved closer to her. If Shao Qingyuan had not reached out to block him, he would have knocked Gu Yundong’s head.
“Gu girl, you’ve helped me so much today. Tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I’ll definitely do it for you.”
‘What I what?’
Gu Yundong touched her chin. Of course, what she wanted the most was money. Wasn’t the Liu family rich?
But now…
