Daoist, please stay

When everything inside was reduced to ashes, he reburied the jar again.

After thinking for a while, I took the mahogany sword from Tao Xi's sleeve, put it across the mouth of the jar, and buried it together.

After finishing all this, Xie Qinglan patted the dirt on her hands, turned her head and smiled at Tao Xi.

"It's all right now. Let's go, let's go home."

Tao Xi's well-planned escape plan was stillborn after all.

After returning from the construction site, both of them were exhausted.Not to mention dragging luggage and running, I don't even bother to go downstairs.

Let's go tomorrow.

Tao Xi found a step down for herself.

Not bad for a while.

It's really only an hour and a half away.

Happy Jiayuan, an old man, drove in a luxury car.

The aunts downstairs enjoying the shade fanned their cattail fans and watched this cheap black private car slowly parked at the corridor entrance of Unit 4.

Aunt Xu squinted her eyes and looked again and again, asking the old sister.

"Hey, do you recognize this car? Why don't I recognize this license plate?"

Sister Liu also shook her head.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it. What kind of thing is this? A big M with a small M. What kind of car logo is a triangle?"

Aunt Xu is very determined.

"It's probably imported. If you don't know it, it will be treated as an imported car."

Sister Liu disagrees.

"Nowadays, the domestically-produced cars are very beautiful. Maybe they are new domestic-made car brands. Does it look like a new energy vehicle?"

"No way, that big thick exhaust pipe, the license plate is not green either."

"I saw that this car looks good, and I asked my son to check it later and buy one like this."

Amidst the gossip of the aunts.

The driver's door of the Maybach opened, and a tall man of more than 1.9 meters stretched his long legs and stepped out.

First, he looked up at the old building full of creepers, then turned around and opened the rear door.

A man who looked pampered stepped out.

A decent casual outfit can hardly hide the extravagance of the whole body.

Aunt Xu is the "building manager" of this building, shouting at the top of her voice.

"Hey, that guy. Don't stop at the entrance of the corridor, it will delay things. Drive to the side!"

The tall man turned his head and waved to Aunt Xu.

"Hey, okay. Move now."

Aunt Xu withdrew her gaze in satisfaction and continued to chat with the old sisters.

Jing Hao obediently moved the car to an out-of-the-way corner and ran over.

"5 on the 502th floor, let's go up."

After sleeping for a few hours, Tao Xi felt that his energy had recovered a little.

I got up lazily, and opened the refrigerator to find something to eat, only to realize that the refrigerator was almost cleared because I was in a hurry to run.

He smacked his lips regretfully, the leisurely time now has greatly diminished his sense of crisis, and suddenly he had the illusion that there should be nothing wrong with just delaying it for a few more days.

Yet crises often erupt at the worst moments of slack.

He and Xie Qinglan were taken aback by the sudden knock on the door.

"Who?"

"takeout."

"Did you order takeout?"

Tao Xi asked Xie Qinglan.

The latter shook his head blankly and opened the door habitually.

Opening the anti-theft door, a tall man stood at the door, squinting his blue eyes, and greeted him with a mouthful of healthy white teeth.

"Hi! Is Mr. Tao Xi here?"

Xie Qinglan's first reaction was to close the door with her backhand.

Regrettably, the other party noticed his intentions, blocked the door with one foot, and pushed the door with the other hand. The two were equal in strength and stalemate.

"Don't get me wrong, my own people, my own people."

Tao Xi also walked to the door curiously at this moment, and when he saw Jing Hao outside the door, his face turned pale.

Only at this moment did the tall man turn sideways, letting out the person behind him.

That person was about the same height as Xie Qinglan, in his early thirties, with delicate features but not feminine, and he looked as handsome as Tao Xi.

It's just that the eyes are not as innocent and pure as Tao Xi's, with a hint of arrogance and a strong sense of coercion.

Tao Xi froze in place, unable to move forward.

Seeing his demented look, the man frowned slightly.

"Don't ask me to come in and sit down?"

Tao Xi teased Xie Qinglan awkwardly, lacking in confidence.

"Brother why are you here?"

elder brother?

Brother?

Tao Xi's unkind, cold-blooded, ruthless and weird-tempered...brother?

Xie Qinglan followed Tao Xi's pull, and let go of her hand in a daze.Stepping aside to give way, watching the elder brother outside the door give him a cold look, he stepped into the room.

The big man didn't come in, but stood outside the door and waved at him.

"Brother, is it convenient to come out and chat?"

Xie Qinglan looked at Tao Xi.

Tao Xi bit her lower lip habitually, and said softly.

"How about...you and Jing Hao go out and find a place to sit, and I will find you later."

Xie Qinglan felt uncomfortable, but she still raised her hand and licked the back of his head, then pinched the back of his neck.

This is a recent habit.When he sensed that Tao Xi was uneasy, he would give him such a soothing gesture.

After finishing all this, Xie Qinglan raised her hand to Jing Hao outside the door.

"Please."

As soon as the eldest brother of the Tao family entered the door, he paced around and looked carefully inside and out of the hut.

Finally, he stood on the balcony and looked out, shaking his head slightly.

"Is this what you want? It's dirty and messy. You live and eat in one room. Raising pigs in the countryside is nothing more than that."

Tao Xi was not convinced.

"Why am I so messy? Xie Qinglan drags it every day, I don't know how clean it is!"

Tao Xuan sneered.

"Xie Qinglan? That bumpkin just now? The part-time worker you hired? Didn't you mean to experience the life of ordinary people and to be self-reliant? Why can't you change the young master's habit of being served by others?"

Tao Xi was angry.

"Who said he was an hourly worker?! Don't insult my friend!"

Seeing his puppy baring its teeth, Tao Xuan couldn't help laughing.

After this kid became an adult, he pretended to be a god of love and god, and he hadn't teased him like this for a long time.

"Oh, it's not easy. I have made good friends. The second young master Tao, he has played and played, and he has gone crazy. He even made friends from the poor. He should have experienced the life of ordinary people, right? Am I home yet?"

Tao Xi's eyes flickered, she was very resistant.

"How can you keep your words? What did you promise me back then? As long as I can support myself without relying on my family, you don't care about me and do whatever I want! It's only been half a year and I regretted it." ? Believe it or not, the whole world bought drafts, saying that you, Young Master Tao, are a big liar who backtracked on you! What a villain!"

Tao Xuan was not threatened by him, he pulled the gaming chair over, crossed his long legs, and clasped his hands.

"So are you self-reliant?"

Tao Xi fried hair.

"Why don't I? I have food, clothing, housing, and transportation. I didn't earn it myself! Dad gave me the card last year, but I didn't move a penny! The balance you gave me now is also covered and I spend it. I can return the part to you without any change! If you don’t believe me, go check it out!”

Tao Xuan nodded calmly.

"Before I came, I had someone check it out, indeed."

Tao Xi was triumphant.

"I, Tao Er, do what I say. If I don't rely on my family, I can not rely on my family! I'm not afraid to tell you, I still have hundreds of thousands of income, and it will be here soon."

Tao Xuan looked at him with a half-smile.

"Oh, you mean the money from Wu Tao?"

Tao Xi stared.

"how do you know?"

Tao Xuan didn't answer him, but instead sent out soul torture.

"It's true that you don't rely on your family, but do you dare to say that you earned all this money by yourself? Huh? Tao Er Er."

Tao Xi was dripping with cold sweat.

Brother knows everything!He investigates him? !

Tao Xuan seemed very satisfied with his younger brother's guilty conscience.

"If I remember correctly, it was agreed at the beginning that you would live 'independently' for more than half a year without relying on your family relationship or financial support from my father and me. Then we will let go and wander around outside as you like. But It's obviously not the case now, Tao Ershao, you don't rely on yourself, but rely on that person named Xie Qinglan to make so much money, right?"

Tao Xi was so guilty that he didn't dare to look into his elder brother's eyes, his eyes drifted from side to side, thinking about how to save himself.

Tao Xuan lowered his attitude, and his tone became much gentler.

"Xiaoxi, don't make trouble. You should have had enough fun in the past six months. Dad has already compromised and will not force you to learn those boring business knowledge. I told him that as long as you go back, I will give you a job in the company." You arrange a separate department, let you be the general manager, you can recruit as many people as you want, and go to various branches to deal with Fengshui Xuanli business. Our big and small branches are distributed all over the country, and you will never be bored."

It's okay not to say this, but when Tao Xi heard what his elder brother said, Tao Xi was absolutely devastated.

"Damn it! I knew you were still treating me like a child! How many times have I told you that I really love metaphysics, and I am also talented and enthusiastic. Why can't you face up to my normal psychology as an adult? What about the demand? I don’t want to go to Tianhai to be the general manager of some kind of mascot, and I don’t even want to die!”

Tao Xuan had a headache.

"We didn't... Dad and I have always respected you, so don't think too much about it."

Tao Xi pointed at him and howled.

"Then tell me! Do you want me to go back and sit in the office every day, from [-] to [-], and on weekends, pretending to be paid tens of thousands a month, and go home to eat with dad every day!"

Tao Xuan glanced unnaturally upwards.

"Then... this is the basic requirement of being a son..."

The corners of Tao Xi's eyes were red.

"You still said you didn't want me to go back to be a mascot! If you don't want to be Tianhai's mascot, then you can be my father's mascot! You keep treating me like a child, I've had enough!"

Tao Xuan sighed.

"Xiaoxi, don't be self-willed. You also know that Dad is not young, and it's human nature for him to want his son to be by his side every day."

Tao Xi almost jumped.

"Human nature? Don't tell me you don't know that as soon as I get home, my father will drag me to grind ink, pour him tea, play chess, and go fishing. Or he will accompany him to watch the deadly Peking Opera, and drag me I'll meet his old fellas and give them rainbow farts!"

Speaking of this, Tao Xuan felt a little guilty.

"That... Dad only likes this. I have to go to work and I don't have time to accompany him, so I can only spend more time with him. Besides, you were so cute when you were young, like a New Year's doll. You have to understand what Dad wants. In a showy mood."

"It was cute when I was young, but is it still cute when I grow up?! Last year he dragged me to meet his old rival, who was the cutest son among them. Can you bear it?! You know that old man Lu's son is almost forty What's wrong! My grandson is in his teens, can you bear me for being cuter with a ten-year-old kid?"

Tao Xi: You can scold me, but you can't scold my friend!
