Three years of mist and rain are but a fleeting moment.

"Go to this dinner today on behalf of your brother." Taoci said on the phone.

Tao Zhi crossed his legs and continued playing the game.

"Why don't you go by yourself, brother? If I go, he won't recognize me and will just eat and drink, which will bring shame to our Tao family. Let you go." Tao Zhi said perfunctorily.

"Your brother is traveling with his wife and children. If you had a wife and children, I wouldn't need you to go." Taoci said.

The game on the phone failed, and Tao Zhi scratched his hair that had grown to his neck in anger.

"Why do I have to go to a banquet in person?" Tao Zhi curled his lips.

"A new Gu family, whose origins are hard to trace." Taoci said.

The Gu family is a strange family. They suddenly appeared half a year ago and it can be said that they built a huge building out of nothing. In just half a year, they have become the forefront of this city. They have very close dealings with several major companies and have brought only benefits to other companies.

Many companies have tried to explore the origins of the Gu family, but have not found any clues. Some have speculated that they are descendants of the rumored "Mr. Gu", but they have found no evidence, and the Gu family has never used the banner of "Mr. Gu".

"Okay, okay, then I'll go for a walk tonight." Tao Zhi said.

"All the participants in this banquet are young people. You can see if there are any boys or girls you can get along with when the time comes." Taoci said.

Tao Zhi was shocked when he heard this. He had no idea how many times he had heard this and he was too lazy to talk back.

Taoci has had two gray hairs in the past three years because of worrying about Tao Zhi finding a partner.

It was a headache for Tao Zhi before when he was playing around. Now Tao Zhi is just like asexual and doesn't want anyone. He looks like he is destined to be alone, which makes Tao Zheng very worried.

"Also, cut your hair. You look like a homeless person singing on the street. I can't stand the sight of it." Taoci warned.

"I'm not going to talk about it anymore, Dad. I'm in a hurry to pack up and go to the dinner party. Let's not talk about it anymore." Tao Zhi hung up the phone while talking on the phone.

After Tao Zhi hung up, he played two more games. Seeing that the time was almost up, he casually pulled out a suit and put it on. He was too lazy to ask the butler to fix his tie for him. After pulling it for a while, he saw that although it was a little crooked, no one would notice it anyway.

Tao Zhi looked at his hair in the mirror and saw that it was indeed a little frizzy, so he combed it a few times and tied it into a small bun at the back of his head, then went out with satisfaction.

The dinner was just an ordinary one. Tao Zhilai had not eaten dinner yet, so he found a place to sit and eat dessert as soon as he entered the door.

As a result, he heard someone calling him just after he ate a dozen cakes. Tao Zhi turned his head while chewing the cake and saw a beautiful woman with big curly hair wearing a black diamond dress waving at him.

Tao Zhi looked left and right to make sure there was no one else around him, and looked at the face of the beautiful woman who was getting closer and closer to him in confusion.

Who is this?

"Mr. Tao, long time no see." said the woman.

Tao Zhi didn't say anything, just looked at the woman, and then continued to stuff a small cake into his mouth.

"I'm Ding Jie." The woman said with a smile.

Tao Zhi choked when he heard this. The cake in his throat made it difficult for him to breathe. Seeing this, Ding Jie quickly reached out to pat Tao Zhi's back.

When Tao Zhi recovered, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Ding Jie, who had changed drastically, with disbelief in his eyes.

"Why...are you here?"

Tao Zhi originally wanted to ask her why she became like this, but after thinking about it, he felt that this question seemed a bit offensive, so he simply changed the question.

"I made a comeback two years ago and entered the entertainment industry. Some young celebrities were invited to today's dinner, and I am one of them," said Ding Jie.

Tao Zhi was quite relieved when he heard this.

"What was the outcome of your child's stay or departure? Xu's company went bankrupt, so are you raising the child now?" Tao Zhi asked.

Ding Jie's brows were relaxed and her eyes were filled with smiles.

"Yes. At that time, Xu's company went bankrupt. Mr. Xu came to the hospital in person to talk to me after I gave birth and proposed a new plan to me."

"He said that I can raise the child. When the child can speak, he will send someone to take him to educate him two days a week. When he grows up, he will be the heir of the Xu family."

"In addition, he promised to provide me with certain resources to help me re-enter the entertainment industry."

"But I have given birth to a child and I am getting older. No matter how I take care of my body, I can't get it back to the state I had as a model, so I entered the circle of actors," said Ding Jie.

"Who is the Mr. Xu you are talking about?" Tao Zhi asked puzzledly.

"Mr. Xu Yanze."

"I am very grateful to him, and also to you and Miss Yu. It is you who put my life back on track." Ding Jie said gently.

Xu Yanze is a very nice person, Tao Zhi thought.

Tao Zhi felt a little embarrassed by her words, and inappropriately thought of the scene when Xu Yanze was serious about taking care of the baby, which was also quite funny.

"What are you grateful for? This is the result of your own hard work and the right choice."

"Although Xu Yanze promised to provide you with resources, you still have to work hard on your own to recover into the peerless beauty that I see before you." Tao Zhi said nonchalantly.

Tao Zhi threw a piece of cake into his mouth and then picked up another piece and handed it to Ding Jie.

"Would you like to try this? I've tried more than ten kinds and this one is the best." Tao Zhi said.

Ding Jie smiled and stretched out her hand to take it.

"Love value +5, cumulative love value 103 points."

Tao Zhi's hand trembled when he heard the sound, and the cake fell to the ground.

During the past three years, Tao Zhi always turned on the real-time score broadcast function. Occasionally, he would hear reports in his mind, all of which were reports of love points, while the hatred points and humiliation points did not increase by even a single point.

Tao Zhi had suffered cardiac arrest more than once because of these sudden reports, followed by unbearable pain.

These accumulated loves represent the warming of the relationship between Gong Cheng and Gu Dongnan, represent Gong Cheng gradually forgetting about the scumbag, and represent that the plot is back on track.

Tao Zhi used the score as a self-torture method to spy on Gong Cheng's life, indulging himself in heartache and crying under the quilt.

The score this time is different from the previous reports. Previously, one point was added each time, but this time, five points were added at once.

Tao Zhi bent down in a panic to pick up the small cake that fell on the ground. Ding Jie bent down and gently touched Tao Zhi's shoulder.

"Mr. Tao, someone will take care of it." Ding Jie said.

Tao Zhi finally regained some clarity of mind, as he had been in a daze for just a moment.

Tao Zhi stood up and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. Tao Zhi felt his heart suddenly tighten as if it was pulled together. He immediately turned his head to look for the person and hurriedly pushed away the person in front of him. He looked in the direction he had just been looking for, but he couldn't find the person he wanted to see.

Tao Zhi's heart sank.

What are you thinking about? How could Gong Cheng appear here?

Only three years had passed, and there were still two years before Gong Cheng returned to China.

Tao Zhi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
