Tao Zhi came back with injuries all over his body. After being helped upstairs by Gong Cheng, he lay dead on the bed.

Gong Cheng's eyes turned red when he helped Tao Zhi take off his clothes. He saw several horizontal and vertical marks on his back, which were red and glaring.

"What happened to you, sir? Didn't you come home for dinner? Why did you come back like this?" Gong Cheng's voice was filled with tears.

"My brother came out as gay, and when my dad beat him up he also beat me up," Tao Zhi explained helplessly.

Gong Cheng was stunned for a moment, tilting his head, wondering why it could be so convenient.

Even the worry and sadness that had surged up in my heart receded a little.

Not only had his old injuries not healed, he also had new injuries, plus he had a cold, so Tao Zhi just felt exhausted.

After applying the medicine on Tao Zhi's body, he urged Gong Cheng to go out and rest.

I slept until noon the next day.

Tao Zhi really couldn't hold his bladder any longer, so he struggled to get up from the bed. After he finished urinating, Tao Zhi yawned and walked towards the room, but was stopped by the housekeeper at the bottom of the stairs.

"Sir, there was a blond man with a child looking for you at the door this morning, and they are still at the door now," said the butler.

Tao Zhi scratched his messy hair, unable to react to the combination of blonde hair and child for a moment, then an idea came to him.

Aren’t those my brother’s man and child?

Why did you find me here?

Tao Zhi ordered the housekeeper to welcome the guest in. Gong Cheng happened to come back from visiting his mother and saw the housekeeper welcoming the guest with a smile.

Gong Cheng saw the man's wavy golden hair from afar, and he was holding a child in his arms.

Gong Cheng was startled, and then he remembered the golden hair on Tao Zhi's clothes when he came back that night.

Is this the blond man?

He even brought his children to the door.

Gong Cheng's nose felt sore and his heart sank. He followed behind and watched the man and child walk across the cobblestone road and into the house.

Gong Cheng watched helplessly as the little girl rushed toward Tao Zhi, hugged Tao Zhi's legs, and excitedly shouted "Dad."

Gong Cheng stood at the door in a daze.

dad?

At this moment, Tao Zhi felt pain all over his body from the shock of the child who pounced on him, but because there were outsiders around, he forced himself to hold back his wails and stood there in a cold sweat.

The little girl looked up, her bright eyes staring at Tao Zhi's face for a long time, a little confused, then she let go of his hand, ran back to the blond man, and hid behind him.

Tao Zhi was helpless, thinking that he had made a mistake again.

Tao Zhi raised his head to look at the muscular blond man in front of him.

"Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Brother, I can't find your brother." Lawrence spoke in a clear and loud voice as if he was broadcasting.

Lawrence came up and called him his brother, and his Chinese pronunciation was so exaggerated that Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment.

"My brother has been confined by my father, and I guess his cell phone has also been handed in," said Tao Zhi.

Lawrence frowned when he heard this, and came up and grabbed Tao Zhi's shoulders.

"Brother, help me." Lawrence said.

Lawrence's grab caused Tao Zhi to choke in pain and his expression twisted instantly.

Gong Cheng at the door remembered that his master had an injury on his shoulder, so he rushed up, pushed Lawrence away, and stood in front of Tao Zhi, his eyes full of anger.

"What are you doing?" Gong Cheng shouted with a frown.

Tao Zhi recovered and patted Gong Cheng's shoulder to comfort him.

"It's okay, we're all family, don't worry." Tao Zhi said.

However, Gong Cheng did not relax. He stared blankly at the bearded, muscular man in front of him.

Is this the blond man who was with my husband that night and even used aphrodisiac?

Seeing Gong Cheng's tense look, Tao Zhi knew that the little rabbit was angry and was about to bite someone again, so he simply reached out a hand, put it around Gong Cheng's waist and patted his belly.

"Alright, alright, it's okay. I'll explain the situation to you later," Tao Zhi coaxed.

Lawrence's eyes were full of anxiety as he stared at Tao Zhi.

"Help me." Lawrence spoke again.

Gong Cheng's look of being ready to fight at any time was not a solution, so Tao Zhi simply called Lawrence upstairs to the room, and then told Gong Cheng to look after the little girl.

Gong Cheng watched Tao Zhi close the door at the bottom of the stairs.

After entering the room, Lawrence started muttering a lot of things. In summary, he asked Tao Zhi to help him go to the Tao family to meet Tao Li.

Tao Zhi sat on the bed with his legs crossed, looking uninterested.

"Why should I help you? I got spanked a lot yesterday thanks to you two, and it still hurts."

"You have to give me a reason to help you?" Tao Zhi said.

"He is your brother. Don't you want your loved ones to be happy?" Lawrence said.

But he is just a paper man, not a real relative, Tao Zhi thought.

"Are you so confident that you are the one who can make him happy?" Tao Zhi said.

After hearing Tao Zhi's answer, Lawrence's eyes turned red.

"He told me a few days ago that his brother had found someone he loved. I thought you would bless him as much as he blesses you," said Lawrence.

Tao Zhi was startled, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, and then he let out a "tsk" sound.

The scene of Tao Li holding me in his arms to block the belt yesterday appeared in my mind, and I felt inexplicably pulled at emotions in my heart.

If I had a brother like Tao Li in real life, would he protect me like Tao Li when my father banged on the door?

"Tsk, I hate this kind of verbal persuasion session the most." Tao Zhi said.

But it is very useful, Tao Zhi thought to himself.
