Mr. Tao looked at Tan Song contemptuously and moved half a meter to the side without batting an eyelid. Then, he said, âI hate it when people joke around.â
Tan Song smiled apologetically. âBrother Tao, I really didnât mean it that way. Besides, I said those things for the sake of your daughterâs birthday party. What if some shady people sneak in and threaten her here?â
âThere are indeed some shady people who have mixed in.â Tao Zhenâs mother walked up and questioned Tao Zhen, âTao Zhen, what are you doing here? Why did you let these people in?â She glanced at the Tan father and daughter and Zhao Ru. Tan Jing and Zhao Ruâs faces turned pale.
Tao Zhen said, âIâm sorry, Madam. We didnât do our job well.â
âThis is all misunderstanding. It really is.â Tan Songâs intestines turned green with regret. âCan we sit down and talk about it?â
âWhy? Do you still want your good daughter to marry into our family?âTao mother asked with a faint smile.
Tan Song acted as if he didnât hear what was being said. He smiled and said, âThatâs a good relationship! Our Jingjing has lived in your house before and has a good relationship with her brothers. If our children get married, our families would then be even closer.â
Tan Jing looked at Tao Zhi. If they would get engaged, she was inclined to choose Tao Zhi. Firstly, Tao Zhi was handsome. Secondly, Tao Zhi was more educated. He was much better than Tao Zheng. Besides, Tao Zhi wasnât as hostile to her as Tao Zheng. It wouldnât be too bad if they could live together in the future.
âThen do you think the eldest or second son is more suitable?â Father Tao asked.
This question stunned everyone present. Werenât these two families on bad terms? Why did the Tao family still want to marry into the Tan family? Could it be that Tan Songâs anger blinded him?
Tan Song thought about it seriously. Since ancient times, there had been an order of seniority. In a large family like the Tao family in the capital, the eldest son would definitely inherit the family business in the future, so he felt that it was more suitable for his daughter to marry the eldest son, Tao Zhi.
âItâs said that older men are better at doting on others. Moreover, Jingjing likes Eldest Brother too, so it would be better for them to be together.â Tan Song said with a smile.
Tao Zhi was still laughing earlier but now he couldnât laugh anymore. Why did this mess involve him?
âOh, my eldest?â Mother Tao looked at Tao Zhi with a smile. âWhat do you think?â
Everyoneâs eyes were focused on Tao Zhi. Tao Zhi wanted to find a board to block himself.
Zhao Ru was unhappy about this instead. Tao Zhi was the one she had her eyes on. How could Tan Jing compete with her?
âI refuse.â Tao Zhiâs tone was very cold. âI will never marry Tan Jing.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Jing frowned. If Tao Zhi wasnât willing to marry her, she could only marry Tao Zheng. Although Tao Zheng wasnât as good-looking and capable as Tao Zhi, he was still the second son of the Tao family. He would definitely get a lot of property in the future, which was not too bad.
âSecond Young Master it is then!â Although Tan Song was inclined to choose Tao Zhi, since Tao Zhi didnât have the intention, he could only choose Tao Zheng.
Coincidentally, Tao Zheng came out from behind, so Tao Zhi simply recounted what had just happened to his younger brother. Tao Zheng regretted not staying in the back room to accompany Tan Rou.
âSecond brother, what do you think?â Tao Zhi asked gloatingly.
Tao Zheng said, âWhy give me a woman you donât want?âHe walked to Tao Zhiâs side and said, âBig Brother, youâre not married yet. Why should I?â
Father Tao said regretfully, âWell, this is embarrassing. None of our sons want her.â
âSince thatâs the case, President Tanâs good daughter shall return the way she came. âYour daughter has always been third in her grade. Sheâs proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Our sons are not worthy of you.âShe was mocking Tan Song for introducing his outstanding daughter to others.
Tan Songâs face instantly fell. âWhat do you mean?â
âWell, a marriage requires the consent of both parties. If your daughter wants them but our sons refuse, there shall be no marriage. We have made ourselves very clear, our children doesnât want to marry your daughter.â
Tan Song was angry, but he could not say it directly. Since the Tao familyâs eldest and second were unwilling, and their third child was a girl, only the youngest one was left..
