Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Li Jing first transferred a thousand to Chen Yao as a deposit. After the matter was settled, she would transfer the rest of the money to Chen Yao. Chen Yao originally wanted Li Jing to transfer more money, but she was worried that Li Jing would be suspicious, so she accepted the money first.
After receiving the money, Chen Yao happily went to the cafeteria to buy delicious food, but she did not know that their deal had been heard by others.
Tan Rou wanted to go back to the classroom to get her textbook that she had left behind. When she returned, she saw what Li Jing and Chen Yao were talking about. She quietly walked closer to listen for a while and realized that Chen Yao was cheating Li Jing of money.
Heh, Tan Rou didn’t like either of them. No matter who was deceived, Tan Rou would be happy. She wanted to see how Chen Yao would persuade her.
After taking the books, Tan Rou immediately returned home and saw Tao Zhi as soon as she entered.
“Big Brother, why are you free to come here at noon?” Tan Rou asked.
Tao Zhi was usually in the office at noon and would only come over in the afternoon.
“There’s a banquet tonight, and I’ve been requested to bring a female companion. I don’t have a suitable candidate by my side, so I’d like you to accompany me to the banquet.” Tao Zhi said.
However, Tan Rou rejected her brother’s request. “I’m sorry, Big Brother. It’s too late. I promised Third Brother a few days ago that I would accompany him to the banquet tonight, so 1 can’t go with you.”
“Cancel on him and come with me,” Tao Zhi said unhappily.
Tan Rou smiled helplessly. “No, 1 made a promise with him first. I can’t go back on my word.”
Tao Zhi knew that Tan Rou wouldn’t agree, so he was just saying it casually.
“What are you talking about? What promise can’t be broken?” Li Li and Tian Tian came downstairs and happened to hear the Tao siblings talking about the ■promise*.
Tan Rou saw Tian Tian at a glance. She suddenly had an idea. “We were just talking about tonight’s banquet with Big Brother. Big Brother and Third Brother are going to attend the same banquet tonight. I promised Third Brother that 1 would be his female companion, but Big Brother also lacks female companions. It’s really difficult!”
After she finished speaking, she even gave Li Li a look. Li Li received Tan Ron’s signal and deliberately said, “Brother Tao, do you need a female companion tonight? Why don’t you bring Tiantian and me there?”
Tian Tian looked at Li Li in shock. She shook her head shyly and said, “No, you guys go ahead. I won’t join in the fun.”
Tao Zhi was a little disappointed. Other than Tan Rou, the person he wanted to bring the most was Tian Tian. Moreover, there would be a lot of delicious food at the banquet tonight. He felt that Tian Tian would like it.
“Are you really not going to consider it?” Tao Zhi still wanted to fight for it. “There will be many cakes and all kinds of delicacies at the banquet tonight.”
Tian Tian bit her lips lightly. “Am I only a foodie in Brother Tao Zhi’s eyes?”
“That’s not what I meant,” Tao Zhi hurriedly explained. “It’s just that there’s a lot of delicious food tonight. I don’t want you to miss out from this banquet.”
The two of them stood awkwardly facing each other. Li Li broke the silence. “Oh, Brother Tao, I’m so sorry. 1 just remembered that 1 have an appointment with Lan Ning to go shopping tonight. 1 can’t go with you.”
Tao Zhi said, “It’s okay. You two have fun. I’ll get Xiao Zheng to send you there.”
Li Li nudged Tian Tian. “Tian Tian, if Big Brother Tao doesn’t have a female companion tonight, he’ll definitely be laughed at by others. He’s so handsome and rich, but he doesn’t even have a female companion. How sad! Go with him and tell me what’s good at the banquet tonight.”
Tian Tian really wanted to go, but she was too shy to be Tao Zhi’s partner. “I…”
Tao Zhi could tell that Tian Tian was in a difficult position. He said dejectedly, “Then forget it. I…”
“If Brother Tao Zhi doesn’t mind my stupidity, I’m willing to go to the banquet with you.” Tian Tian mustered her courage.
Tao Zhi immediately changed his words. “Alright, I’ll take you out now to buy clothes and get you styled.”
“Big brother, what are you so anxious about?” Tan Rou mocked. We don’t have classes in the afternoon. “Can’t you wait until we’re done eating?”
Li Li snickered at the side. “I’m afraid that Brother Tao has already planned it out, right?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. It was an impromptu decision.” Tao Zhi stammered.
After they finished their meal in a hurry, Tao Zhi drove Tian Tian out for shopping..
