Yao Keren smiled even more sinisterly.
Tao Yaoyao felt that she seemed like a lovesick pig who’d just seen Marshal Heavenly Mugwort descend from the sky.
Tao Zishen returned their smiles. After saying hello to his grandmother, he turned his gaze on Tao Yaoyao. His gaze was ambivalent and deep, as if he was examining her. “You’re back.”
“Yeah!” Looking at him, Tao Yaoyao lifted the corners of her mouth into a smile reluctantly.
However, her mannerisms seemed refrained, and she lowered her head sheepishly, as if she didn’t intend to talk to him anymore.
Tao Zishen was the brother who she wasn’t related to by blood.
Suddenly, she saw Feng Zhuo coming downstairs. She grinned and immediately ran over. “Husband, have you finished talking with my dad?”
As soon as she said this, Tao Zishen’s expression stiffened. His eyes glared at Tao Yaoyao, as if he were a husband who had seen his wife cheating, but Tao Yaoyao didn’t even glance at him.
His eyes narrowing, Feng Zhuo glanced at Tao Zishen briefly.
He stretched out his hand to grasp Tao Yaoyao’s waist, leaned toward her ear, and said softly, “Uh-huh, let’s go home.”
They had only taken a few steps when Tao Jiantong came racing downstairs. Apparently irritated, he shouted at the two of them, “Stop!”
“Tao Yaoyao, do you have any idea what family background this kid has? Do you know how messy the modeling industry is? Those young models only want to find rich heirs and rich heiresses, so why are you being so stupid? He chose you because of your identity as Miss Tao and for the Tao Department Store. His motive is money. You actually believed that if you didn’t marry him, he would commit suicide?”
Feng Zhuo raised his eyebrows and glanced at Tao Yaoyao. “Suicide?”
Tao Yaoyao laughed awkwardly. “Isn’t that so, you loved me so much that you stalked me and said that if I didn’t marry you, you would definitely commit suicide?”
Hoping Feng Zhuo would cooperate with her, she winked desperately.
Feng Zhuo said indifferently, “I think that since they’re your family members, if you told them that you love me so much that you can’t live without me and would only marry me in this life, or else you’ll commit suicide, I believe that they wouldn’t blame you.”
Pfft. He was too shameless for saying that she would commit suicide if he didn’t marry her. Tao Yaoyao’s eyes shot daggers at him.
Weren’t you just as shameless? With an aloof expression in his eyes, Feng Zhuo successfully killed the intimidation in her murderous gaze by reminding her silently that she had done exactly the same to him.
Tao Yaoyao’s shoulders suddenly became very soft as she relaxed, because what he was being was very reasonable.
She was at a loss for words.
“Tao Yaoyao,” Father Tao roared at her with shock.
Upon hearing that it was his daughter who had been the one who had threatened suicide in order to marry this man, he wished he could stuff his daughter back into his ex-wife’s belly, as if she had never been given birth to in the first place.
Tao Yaoyao turned around and walked forward to her father with an innocent expression on her face. “Father, Feng Zhuo isn’t the kind of person you think he is, and we’re already married anyway. Can’t you give us your blessing? I love him, and I only want to marry him, so I want your blessing, Daddy.”
Their marriage hadn’t involved any property or assets. The contract marriage had a prenup. Whether they were married or divorced, their property would be clearly divided.
But now it seems that in her father’s eyes, Feng Zhuo was a shameless villain who’d married her because he was greedy for money.
She didn’t know what Feng Zhuo had said to him in the study just now for her dad to be so angry.
