My wife is a bit of a sucker

Could it be that Tao Yan wrote the script for this stupid TV?

It's not impossible!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Chen, I surprised you." In the distance, someone came with someone from a distance, and finally stopped in front of Li Chen.

"It was quite a shock." Li Chen pressed Tao Yan in his hand, and looked at the woman behind.

She looks somewhat similar to Tao Yan, except that a cyan birthmark on her face spoils her otherwise pretty face, making her look a little scary and hideous.

"I was sent by the Patriarch to meet you. You can call me Tao Ya." Tao Ya bowed to Li Chen, and then waved to the people behind her.

The bodyguards who were originally standing behind Tao Ya rushed forward and accepted Tao Yan from Li Chen, and the guide also rescued her from being ordered to continue to be put on the ground.

"Take Miss Tao Yan back to the confinement room, and confine her for another month." After Tao Ya gave her orders, the bodyguards carried Tao Yan and were about to leave.

"You ugly monster! Why shut me up! Let me go!" Tao Yan struggled to pounce on Tao Ya, but was finally covered by the bodyguard and led her down.

"Sorry, I made you laugh." Tao Ya bowed to Li Chen with a very peaceful attitude, as if she hadn't noticed the dispute between Li Chen and Tao Yan just now.

"Your family's young lady really has a real temperament, but I made a fuss?" Li Chen walked beside Tao Ya, trying to strike up a conversation with Tao Ya.

"Miss Tao Yan is just the daughter of a servant, please don't generalize." Tao Ya said with a characteristic smile.

"Then you are also one of the Miss Tao family?"

"Tao Ya is also the daughter of a servant, so she can't be called a young lady." After Tao Yan answered Li Chen's question, no matter what Li Chen said, she stopped talking.

All the way to the destination, the so-called reception room of the mansion.

"The Patriarch is waiting for you inside." After Tao Ya bowed to Li Chen for the last time, she turned and left, only leaving Li Chen a hurried back.

The person who led the way was gone, so Li Chen had no choice but to go in by himself.

The inside is also a unified reception room, which makes people feel that time and space are disordered.

Li Chen stepped over the threshold that was about to reach his calf knee, and couldn't help sighing.

This high threshold is almost catching up with Yizhuang's.

There was a white-haired old man sitting in the reception room at this moment, wrapped in a maroon Tang suit, with gray beard and eyebrows blending together, it was almost recognizable.

The old man, who had been sleeping while avoiding his eyes, turned to Li Chen's direction when he heard footsteps, and caught Li Chen's position in preparation.

This is probably the head of the Tao family.

Li Chen was stared at by the Patriarch of the Tao family, as if his whole body had goose bumps.

Almost instantly, Li Chen was sure that the Patriarch of the Tao family was not someone to mess with, even though he looked like an approachable old man.

Fortunately, I have been baptized a lot, and I am immune to this kind of battle, otherwise I would really be intimidated by the Patriarch of the Tao family.

"Junior Li Chen, I have met senior." Li Chen bowed to the Patriarch of the Tao family. After all, the old man has outlived him for so long, so it is not easy for him to contradict him directly.

It doesn't matter if you faint from anger, but if you don't wake up, things will be serious.

"I know you, you are a good young man." I don't know if it was true or not, the Patriarch of the Tao family first praised Li Chen a few words, then let Li Chen sit down, and even had tea served for Li Chen.

Li Chen was flattered by such warm treatment.

He couldn't believe that the Patriarch of the Tao family didn't know anything about what he had done outside before, and it would be good to just drive him out without giving himself a blow, but he was still so enthusiastic.

I'm afraid it's courtesy first and soldiers later, right?

After the servants poured tea for Li Chen, they retreated one after another, leaving only Li Chen and the head of the Tao family in the lobby.

There was silence, the head of the Tao family didn't speak, and Li Chen didn't take the lead in provoking trouble, so a mysterious calm was maintained in the lobby.

After a while, the originally sunny weather suddenly changed color. From Li Chen's perspective, he could see dark clouds approaching the distant sky, which finally blocked the sun and covered the house above their heads.

Within a few minutes, bean-sized raindrops dripped down the tiles, hit the ground, landed in the yard, and finally converged into a small stream, sinking into the yard.

"This rain scene is very good!" The old man who was feigning sleep opened a pair of bright eyes and looked at the sky outside.

"The Tao family has never changed the rainy scene for a hundred years. Now the old man is old and nostalgic."

Is this warning yourself?Tell yourself not to intervene in Tao's affairs?

"I had no doubt provoked you, but it was always your young lady who came to pick things up first." Li Chen completely left himself behind.

"The girls in my family are almost married, and the rest are defective products." The head of the Tao family said, his eyes were full of calculations.

"If you can stop here, I won't pursue it any further."

"If you don't agree, it's not luck that my Tao family can stand for a hundred years."

As if to match the words of the head of the Tao family, the rain outside became heavier, and the front of the eaves was directly smashed into a series of rain curtains, which continued continuously.

For a long time, Li Chen still did not speak.

In fact, Li Chen is very entangled now, he doesn't care about the threat of the head of the Tao family at all, and wants to go back directly.

But now that he is on someone else's chassis, of course he can't be so high-profile.

"It seems that Mr. Li Chen still needs time to think about it. It just happened to be raining heavily, so stay and have a light meal before leaving." The head of the Tao family continued to close his eyes after finishing speaking, as if he was about to fall asleep right here. of.

Li Chen only felt that there seemed to be many more people around, and they surrounded the house.

It seems that this is preparing to do something against him. Could it be that he is just waiting to die?

No, it's impossible, isn't he here today just to make trouble?

On the surface, Li Chen sat here very calmly, but secretly he found the crow card in his card bag, and used it on himself.

Have a meal?Impossible, your kitchen can't be kept today.

Once the crow card is used, thousands of mountains and birds will fly away, and thousands of paths will disappear...

Of course it's not that exaggerated, only one person knows what he did.

Originally, Li Chen wanted to directly experience the burning of the old house, but he still feels a little sorry for the historical traces.What's more, he didn't have such good intentions to directly put the handle in the Tao family's hands if he let go of Shaoshan and sat in prison.

So, I can only come in secret, right?

The old man must have been tired from watching the rain, so he leaned on his crutches and walked past, breathing heavily.

Li Chen, who was left in the same place, suddenly felt a little envious of the Patriarch of the Gu family's leisurely life. He was exhausted, and he had done all the good things, but it was too much to be labeled a "gangster". Too much.

After the Patriarch of the Gu family left, Tao Ya, who had retired before, came in and asked Li Chen to rest for a while, waiting for the meal time.

This is detention in disguise!

Li Chen stood up, followed Tao Ya, walked through the winding corridor, and walked towards the house at the other end.

The rain outside still didn't stop, and the green hills on both sides seemed to be shrouded in a haze of smoke. Occasionally, there was the sound of birdsong, making it even more peaceful and peaceful.

Li Chen said that he admired the scenery here very much, and planned to buy it for himself to spend his old age after the Tao family was brought down.

Judging from the longevity of the head of the Tao family, it probably has something to do with where he lives?

After several twists and turns, Li Chen saw the big ginkgo tree in the middle of the yard. The leaves had long since turned deep yellow, and the thick branches could not be closed even by adults, as if carrying out the idea of ​​blocking out the sun.

"It was transplanted by the owner 50 years ago, and he sold it from the monastery after spending a lot of money." Tao Ya explained to Li Chen with a calm expression.

Li Chen noticed that Tao Ya's back was always facing him, it must be half of her body facing him, maybe she didn't want him to see the birthmark on her face?

"For 50 years, it took a lot of manpower and material resources to finally support this ginkgo tree." Tao Ya's tone was a little proud, "The luxuriant foliage now makes countless rich and powerful envy."

After Li Chen stopped, he glanced at the grand ginkgo tree.It is nice to have luxuriant branches and leaves, but it grows too big, and no one sweeps the ginkgo leaves underneath, so it is piled up in a thick layer.

"It looks like a septic tank exploded..." Li Chen thought for a long time, and finally found a suitable adjective.
