Tao Zi, dressed in her best clothes, was escorted into the reception hall by Chen Mi and Zhen Yaqi. She was indeed the center of attention, and had caused an uproar.
The news from yesterday had spread for an entire day and night, and after that, everyone had long known about it, even Chen Dong and Xu Qin's hearts became slightly cold when they saw Tao Zi.
"Everyone, please calm down. I have a piece of news to announce to everyone!"
Chen Niu snatched the host's microphone, held Tao Zi's hand, and walked to the stage in the middle of the stage, indicating the zither player who was playing the piano to stop.
Just as Tao Zi was dragged unsteadily onto the stage, she saw two familiar figures amongst the well-dressed guests. One was her elder sister Tong Xiaomann, and the other was the Liang Yi that caused her heart to ache.
Like her, they looked at her as if they had seen an alien and wondered why she was here.
Without waiting for Tao Zi to stand still, Chen impressively announced to the guests: "This Miss Tao Zi and I have long been lovers. I will not marry her, and she will marry me.
"As for Zhen Yaqi and I, we don't have any feelings for each other.
"Dad, mom, I'm sorry, we are already adults, we have the right to choose our partners, so please don't worry about us!"
Chen Dong didn't wait for his son to finish his sentence. He fell on the sofa behind him in anger, rolling his eyes while clutching his chest.
"Chen Ying, what nonsense are you talking about?" Are you crazy? " Xu Qin's eyes almost popped out as she rushed up and slapped her son.
Chen Zhuorann also walked up to Tao Zi and questioned him: "Who do you think you are, and what qualifications do you have to be my brother's girlfriend?"
Everything happened too suddenly, causing Tao Zi to not be able to react in time. After a long while, she finally understood what was going on, and shook her head with all her might: "I, I'm not your brother's girlfriend, don't listen to his nonsense!"
Tao Zi ignored everyone's surprised gazes, pushed Chen Zhuorann away, and immediately ran down the stage, running quickly towards the door.
"..."
Lee Yan admired Tong Xiaomann very much, she felt that her looks were not bad, her temperament was good, and she knew how to be polite.
Tong Xiaomann used all of her skills and said all kinds of respectful words, coaxing Lee Yan to the point of being happy. She pulled her without letting go, as if she had found her long-lost biological daughter.
While the young master was busy chatting, a scene of Tao Zi and Chen Ying suddenly appeared on stage. Both of them were confused.
Lee Yan asked his son Liang Yi with an ignorant expression, "What happened? Why didn't I understand what he was saying? "
Liang Yi did not even hear what Lee Yan said. Seeing that Tao Zi had left, she immediately turned and walked in her direction.
The two of them walked out of the hall one after another and reached the first floor. Liang Yi was about to catch up to Tao Zi and shouted from behind: "Tao Zi, wait!"
Tao Zi's head was still in a mess, and she did not hear anyone call her either. She continued to walk forward in a daze, and suddenly her hand was grabbed, causing her to stagger a little, as she leaned into the arms of the person behind her.
"Let me go!" Tao Zi thought that it was Chen Ying once again, and struggled without caring about anything else.
"It's me!" Liang Yi hugged her tightly: "I am Liang Yi!"
Tao Zi had finally awakened. As she looked at Liang Yi, her tears once again flowed out of the corner of her eyes.
Liang Yi reached out his hands to wipe her tears, and smiled at her: "Don't cry, Leader. I have already come to protect you."
Tao Zi's worries were finally relieved. She was obedient like a little bird and snuggled into his embrace, allowing him to carry her into his car.
Liang Yi gestured to the driver to drive, then raised up the soundproofing board and pulled the curtains.
The car drove out of the district, and squeezed into the river. Seeing the bright and beautiful lights between the curtains, Tao Zi finally broke the silence and asked: "You took my sister there?"
"Yes." Liang Yi nodded, then explained: "Originally, I wanted to introduce you to my mother, but since you have something on your mind, I can't say that I don't mean it, so …"
"So you took her with you? What if others misunderstand? " Tao Zi became impatient again.
"Are you afraid of being misunderstood?" Liang Yi asked with a smile that was not a smile.
Tao Zi's face was burning red, she immediately shook her head: What am I afraid of? It has nothing to do with me. "
Liang Yi's face darkened. Fortunately, the light here was dim, so Tao Zi was still unaware.
The two of them were silent for a while longer before Liang Yi spoke, "Tomorrow, the media will be talking about your matter. What do you think? How about I be your boyfriend for the time being, okay? "
Liang Yi's words made Tao Zi's face turn red, and he also knew that once she agreed, even if she established a relationship with him, it might not necessarily be "temporary".
But she still had a vow to keep. If she did that, she really wouldn't be able to face her sister.
Tao Zi hesitated for a while, then shook her head and said: "I think … "Forget it. I've already explained it clearly, there's no need to do this."
Liang Yi's heart sank, he too felt that this was an unnecessary action, he laughed at himself, and then fell silent.
"..."
After sending Tao Zi back to her "headquarters", they drove back the same way they came from. In the car, Liang Yi picked up the quiet phone, looked at the numbers that kept appearing on the screen, and then clicked on one of them.
The one who answered the phone was Lan Qian. Liang Yi asked, "Has my mother already left the royal ball?"
"Yes, he has already left," Lan Qian's tone carried a hint of schadenfreude. "After you all left, all the guests also left.
Liang Yi wasn't in a good mood like Lan Qian, he only said lightly, "I understand." Then he hung up the phone.
He fiddled with his cell phone, not knowing how to deal with his mother for a while. It would be better to take a break, perhaps he would be able to calm down after a while.
He put down the soundproofing board and said to the driver in front of him, "Return to the company."
"..."
"What's the matter? Didn't you go to the royal ball? "How did it become like this?" Lv Rong asked, a little surprised as she looked at Tao Zi, whose face had turned ghastly pale and who had suffered a crushing defeat.
Tao Zi sat at the dining table, picked up a bottle of beverage and gulped it down.
"What?" Chen impressively treated you like that? "Then you didn't call the police?" Lv Rong slapped the table in indignation.
"Call the police?" If you call the police for such a good thing, aren't you stupid? " However, Shangguan Toong did not think so, and said to Tao Zi: "Chen Ying is a well-known rich second generation, chasing after you in such a hurry is not something you want, what else do you want?"
"Toong, you're talking nonsense again!" Lv Rong glared at Shangguan Toong: "Our sister is infatuated with you. As long as it's a man, you can do whatever you want!"
Lv Rong said it unintentionally, but Shangguan Toong heard it intentionally, and thought that Lv Rong already knew of her shameful deeds, so she immediately turned to Sang Geya and glared at her.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" I didn't say you were sleepwalking. " Sang Geya was horrified.
"What does this have to do with sleepwalking?" It could be seen that Lv Rong was still unaware as he listened to them talk about the riddle with a confused expression.
Tao Zi felt it was funny. Lv Rong's sleep quality was really good. It had been so long, how come she still hadn't discovered it?
"..."
After dinner, Shangguan Toong said that she would go see her mother. Her mother was not feeling well recently and needed someone to take care of her, so for the next two nights, she would not be able to come back to stay.
Shangguan Toong's parents had left when she was seven years old. Her mother was also in Dongyang.
Hearing that her aunt was sick, Lv Rong and Sang Geya wanted to accompany her to have a look. Shangguan Toong straightforwardly declined that there was no need, and the sisters did not want to insist anymore, so they took out some money and stuffed it into her hands, saying that it was for her medical treatment.
When Shangguan Toong walked out of the door, Tao Zi followed him and said: "I'll send you off."
Shangguan Toong frowned, and without saying anything, she walked in front.
The two of them came out of Hu Tong's mouth at the same time. Tao Zi looked at the lights on the other side, and even without her identifying them carefully, she could already guess who was sitting inside the carriage.
Tao Zi pulled Shangguan Toong's hand, and said sincerely: "Toong, have you thought about who he is? It's not like you don't know."
Shangguan Toong stroked her hair and laughed lightly: "I don't care who he is, at least, he's the person I love!"
The news from yesterday had spread for an entire day and night, and after that, everyone had long known about it, even Chen Dong and Xu Qin's hearts became slightly cold when they saw Tao Zi.
"Everyone, please calm down. I have a piece of news to announce to everyone!"
