Tao Yuxuan looked up.

“I’m going to take a call.”

It was Father Shi, asking him to hurry home after sending Tao Yuxuan off.

Shi Xu replied, “No need to wait for me. 1 still have something to deal with.”

“Are you really going to marry Tao Tao?” Father Shi asked in a suppressed voice.

“Let’s talk when we get back.” Shi Xu hung up.

Father Shi was at a loss.

Give me a definite answer!

After hanging up, Shi Xu returned to the dining table.

Tao Yuxuan had already eaten more than half of it. She slowed down and said considerately, “If you have something to do, you don’t have to worry about me.”

“I’m not busy. Let’s continue talking about me wanting to marry you.” Shi Xu looked straight at her.”

Pa.

Tao Yuxuan’s eyes widened, and the cutlery in her hands fell onto the dining table with a loud sound.

Shi Xu’s expression was calm as he narrowed his eyes. “Didn’t you say that you liked me?”

Tao Yuxuan thought of her bold words in the private room and hurriedly explained, “I, I wanted to embarrass Madam Jun. Didn’t you also want to back me up, so you said you wanted to marry me?”

The more she spoke, the smoother Tao Yuxuan’s words became. “I’ve done everything I could for the factory. Now, let’s just follow the will of heaven. I’ve already asked Xi Xi to save a sum of money. Even if I go bankrupt, I can still live on.”

Shi Xu smiled and said jokingly, “1 thought you always liked me.”

“You’re Xi Xi’s brother, so you’re my brother. Of course I like you.” Tao Yuxuan saw that the atmosphere had relaxed and laughed along.

However, this ‘like’ was the love she had for a brother.

Shi Xu regained his ease in business and said, “If we get married, you can at least keep half of the Tao family’s current assets.”

Tao Yuxuan’s heart tightened.

It wasn’t bad to be able to keep half of it!

“As long as you help me, I’m willing to give you 10%, no, 20% of the Tao family’s business.” Tao Yuxuan knew that there would be no free lunch.

Shi Xu’s eyes curved in satisfaction. “Alright.”

Shi family.

Mother Shi looked at the three of them who were panting as they ate their noodles and said with heartache, “Eat slowly. No one is snatching it from you. There’s still more in the pot.”

“Didn’t you going out to eat?” Mother Shi complained. “Why did you come back hungry?”

“It’s all that Jun Cheng’s fault,” Shi Xi explained as she ate.

“Alright, alright. Finish eating first. Don’t choke.” When Mother Shi saw Ning Yu finish a bowl of noodles silently, she said directly, “1’11 get you another bowl.”

Ning Yu wanted to scoop it herself, but Mother Shi had already pressed down on her shoulder.

Ning Yu, who did not like to be touched, froze.

Mother Shi took her bowl away.

Ning Yu heaved a sigh of relief.

When Mother Shi returned, Ning Yu said politely, “Thank you.”

“There’s still more in the pot after you finish eating,” said Mother Shi with a smile.

She saw that the bowl was full of noodles.

Ning Yu, who had already finished a bowl of noodles, was speechless…

You should get it yourself!

After the three of them were full, Father Shi told Mother Shi about what happened in the private room today.

Mother Shi looked at Ning Yu and asked, “You and Jun Cheng?”

“I’m not familiar with him,” interrupted Ning Yu.

“Will the Jun family and the Tao family blame us if the marriage alliance fails?” Mother Shi said worriedly.

“When Shi Xu returns, we’ll ask him.” Father Shi leaned back in his chair and decided to throw this difficult problem to Shi Xu.

Raise a son to prevent old age.

The son he had raised for so many years was finally useful.

Mother Shi glared at him. “Don’t you know how to care for your children at all?! If you earned more money, would the children be so tired? They have to come back hungry even if they go out to eat with you!”

Father Shi, who was being implicated:”….”
