"By the way, is she a native of Sichuan City?"

Xu Jing: "It should be. I remember hearing her say when she spoke at the student union that she was a native of Sichuan City and had been living in the south of the city."

Xia Taozhi lowered his eyelids: "South of the city."

"You heard it too." Xu Jing chuckled, "It should have been an old city that had not been developed before. It is recognized as the poorest place in Sichuan City. It is really not easy to pass the exam from a place like that. You What kind of daughter did you say she was just now?"

"Yes." Xia Taozhi nodded and simply told Xu Jing the little information he knew.

Before she finished listening, Xu Jing was speechless: "No wonder I thought she was not simple at that time, but since she is the eldest daughter of a rich family, why would she go to a place like the south of the city..."

Before Xia Taozhi could speak, Xu Jing, who was excited, asked and answered herself: "It must be the elders of their family who want to train her to be the heir, so they let her go through all these hardships first. I'm not saying that the elders of these famous families see They have much more to gain than us, and they will definitely consider more and more comprehensively.”

As if she realized something, she suddenly smiled bitterly: "That's good for you. People like us will never be the same in the future. Your husband is Han Xiao, and...you are so good yourself."

Xia Taozhi didn't explain, and changed the topic with a calm smile.

After finishing the meal, Xu Jing looked back as she left: "Taotao, I didn't expect you to grow up to this level. It's because I don't see Mount Tai."

"Don't say that, Sister Jing. Without your support, I wouldn't be able to survive now." She smiled warmly.

Xu Jing waved her hand: "If you need me in the future, just ask. We are friends."

"Well, good friend."

Today's dinner left Xia Taozhi with a lingering aftertaste.

Not because of the content of the dinner, but because of the news I heard today.

So, the Gui family has always had three daughters, but why has Gui Jianze never revealed this to outsiders?

Gui Jianze himself must also know how much benefit three young and outstanding-looking daughters can earn for the family in this circle, otherwise he would not let Gui Yunrong and Gui Susu part ways as soon as he returned to Sichuan City. Attack the two most powerful men.

It's a pity that neither of them succeeded.

If there is a third daughter, Xia Taozhi feels that Gui Jianze will make the best use of her.

What is the reason why the Gui family has always avoided talking about their third daughter?

She thought with interest, and before she knew it, she was almost home.

Suddenly, the driver said: "Madam, the car behind seems to be following us. It has already followed us for two streets."

Xia Taozhi suddenly woke up and looked back.

I saw the car not far behind with its headlights on, and suddenly flashed a few more times, as if it knew that Xia Taozhi had discovered it, and was saying hello nonchalantly.

She was silent for a few seconds: "Find a place to park in front of you."

"Madam, sir, you have ordered..."

"It doesn't matter. You can't go home with a tail. This is still a downtown area - let's just park the car in front of the police station. That way you will be safe."

Xia Taozhi's brain circuit left the driver speechless.

So I found a place full of surveillance cameras and the police station opposite and stopped.

As soon as we parked, the car behind us also stopped.

Xia Taozhi took out a piece of chewing gum and chewed it slowly. On her phone was a new message from Han Xiao. He was asking how long it would take for her to get home.

She narrowed her eyes and tapped her fingers on her knees unconsciously.

After a while, a young woman got out of the car behind.

She was wearing a dark green satin dress. The wide design made her look more mature and elegant. She was wearing burgundy high heels, and her slender ankles to tight calves all showed her sophistication.

Step by step, she walked outside Xia Taozhi's car door, raised her hand and knocked on the car window.

The car window quickly dropped halfway, revealing Xia Taozhi's jade-like face.

The woman in front of her didn't seem surprised at all, and smiled softly: "Hello, it's our first time meeting you. I'm Gui Wenqian. I want to tell you something - you'd better not attend tomorrow's dinner."

Xia Taozhi's pupils tightened: "I don't understand."

"Don't you understand? After hearing so much news from the outside world, how could you still not understand? The Gui family cannot go bankrupt. They have already cooperated with the Xia family. With a link like Gui Yunrong, the Gui family will only become more and more prosperous. The better.”

Gui Wenqian's faint smile made Xia Taozhi feel a chill in the cool autumn night.

"It seems that Miss Gui didn't understand what I meant. What I don't understand is not Gui Yunrong's current relationship with the Xia family, but why you came to say these things to me."

Xia Taozhi looked at her quietly, her eyes pure and firm.

Gui Wenqian's smile became stiff when she saw it: "Anyway... you'd better not go. Instead of being watched and humiliated at the scene, wouldn't it be better to stay at home? I just don't want to see an innocent person being implicated."

"So, I have to thank you."

After Xia Taozhi finished speaking, she closed the car window, leaving only one sentence: "I received your words, good night."

Gui Wenqian froze on the spot, watching the car drive out of her sight.

After a moment, she sneered: "He is an interesting person, but it's a pity that he is disobedient and a bit annoying."

Back at Fuhai Garden, Xia Taozhi told Han Xiao everything that happened at night.

"When did another daughter appear in the Gui family? It seems she doesn't want me to attend tomorrow night's dinner party. Haha..." She snorted coldly, "She won't let me go, but I insist on going."

Han Xiao faced a black and white endgame, playing with two chess pieces in his hand: "There is another way to piss them off, force them to jump, and expose their plan in advance."

She looked at him confused and said, "What can we do? We can't both go, right?"

Han Xiao gently scratched the tip of her nose: "That's right, neither of us will go."

Xia Taozhi's eyes widened.

She thought about this idea over and over again in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Her eyes shone: "Good idea. Then we won't go. I asked Aunt Lian for leave and said that my hand was sick again. She knew I’m not in good health, so you won’t blame me.”

With that said, she turned around and went to call Aunt Lian.

Han Xiao stared at her back for a moment and shook his head in amusement.

As soon as the phone screen lit up, he read the message with deep eyes, and then blocked the number directly.

On Xia Taozhi's side, Aunt Lian couldn't get through, so she called Cheng Kele instead.

Cheng Kele was already so busy that she couldn't come tomorrow night. When she learned that Xia Taozhi couldn't come tomorrow night, she was anxious and regretful: "Okay, you have to take care of yourself. I'm already so busy that I probably have to wait for this." I can’t see you until after the dinner.”
