I became a substitute for my brother

Tao Xin has gone abroad.

Before going out, the two fathers called them back for dinner. Qin Rui also went back that day, and the two met at the dinner table without saying anything.

Tao Xin went back to the room after dinner, Qin Rui followed him and said he wanted to talk, Tao Xin didn't let him in, just looked at him and said: "No one will pester you anymore, are you happy, bro?"

Tao Xin's expression was too calm, and Qin Rui was very irritable. The desire that had been struggling in his heart for a long time wanted to burst out of his chest countless times these days, but he suppressed it. He didn't know how long he could suppress it, but He had to suppress it again.

Reason told him that it is enough to make some mistakes once, and he cannot allow himself to make mistakes one after another.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tao Xin felt very boring. He shook his head in his heart and asked him: "Are you still talking? If you don't talk about it, I'm going to rest. I'm going to do some shopping tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Qin Rui's answer at all, and closed the door directly.

When Tao Xin woke up the next morning, Qin Rui had already gone to the company with Qin Wenyuan. Tao Heng was eating breakfast in the restaurant. Seeing him coming downstairs, he smiled and waved to him, "Come here, auntie made your favorite preserved egg porridge .”

Tao Xin sat down, and the nanny put a bowl of porridge in front of him. He thanked him, picked up a spoon and stirred the porridge, but he didn't put it in his mouth for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Tao Heng asked him, "Didn't sleep well last night?"

Tao Xin's eyes were black and blue, she really didn't sleep well last night, she was burdened with many things, it was too heavy, and remembering that she was going to go abroad alone soon, her mood was messed up.

"I'm a bit reluctant to part with you." He smiled and said.

"Come back if you miss us, or we'll go to see you," Tao Heng said, "do what you want, and we will support you."

Tao Xin's eyes were a little red, "Thank you little dad."

Two days later, Tao Xin went abroad, Qin Wenyuan and Qin Rui went to Linshi to participate in a bidding, and Tao Heng sent him to the airport.Before parting, Tao Heng said to him: "I don't know what happened between you and your brother, but you have to remember, no matter what, your father and I will choose to respect you, you are our family, we hope you can Have a good time."

This sentence kept ringing in Tao Xin's ears until he got on the plane. He didn't know how much Tao Heng could see it. After living here, I have already decided to go abroad, so why bother people.

The plane departed from City A. At an altitude of [-] meters, Tao Xin said softly, "Goodbye, brother. I hope that when we meet again, I can stop loving you."

six years later.Airport.

"I'm here, come out now."

Tao Xin hung up the phone and looked around. A black business car stopped in front of him, the door opened, and a middle-sized man jumped down to help him with his luggage. After Tao Xin got into the car, the man followed, "You Should I go home first or go to work first?"

Tao Xin turned his neck wearily, "Send me back to the company, I have something to explain."

"Yes." The man said, "Go to sleep for a while, and I will call you when we arrive."

Tao Xin closed his eyes, and after a while, he turned on his phone, found Tao Heng's number and dialed out, "Dad, I'm back, do you have time to have dinner together tonight?... Well, I'm treating you, call me Dad together."

Tao Heng didn't know what to say on the other side, Tao Xin said: "I told him on my brother's side, I don't know if he is free."

After hanging up the phone, he found another number. He stared at the number for a long time before pressing dial.

It took a long time for the phone to be picked up. When the man's deep and deep voice came into the ear canal from the other end of the phone, Tao Xin subconsciously closed her eyes and felt her entire scalp go numb.

"Xiaoxin?" Qin Rui said.

Tao Xin took a deep breath, "Brother, I'm back."

There was no sound from Qin Rui's end, and even the sound of breathing seemed to have stopped. Tao Xin waited for a long time before he could speak, so she said, "I asked Dad and Dad to have dinner together at night, you can come too, the address will be later." send you."

"...Okay." Qin Rui said.

After hanging up the phone, Tao Xin looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar road outside the window, thinking deeply.

The car took him to the company.The company was registered in China by Tao Xin two years ago. It is a small film and television company under the name of Shixing. Good quantity and great potential.

It is not that Tao Xin has not returned to China in the past two years, but every time he is in a hurry, either for filming or for the company's business, he has no time to stay, and has no time to gather with relatives and friends, like a spinning top, spending all his time The arrangements are full, and I don't allow myself any free time to think about things I shouldn't think about.

Originally, he still didn't plan to say it this time, but Tao Heng spoke up, and if he didn't say anything else, he was afraid that he would be cut off, so he had no choice but to compromise.

"It's roughly decided to join the team next week, are you okay?" the assistant, who was the man who picked him up at the airport, said.

"Okay," Tao Xin pointed at the table, "You go and call the assistant director for me, and also, help me book a quieter restaurant for me to have dinner with my family."

"Ok."

The assistant went out, and the assistant director came in after a while, "Director Tao, when did you come back?"

"Today," Tao Xin raised her hand, "Sit down, let's talk about filming."

This is not the first time the two have worked together, and they have a good understanding. After more than an hour, the chat was almost done. The assistant sent him a message saying that the restaurant was booked and they could go there now. Tao Xin stood up and handed over the address of the restaurant. It was sent to Tao Heng and Qin Rui, and then the assistant director was sent away and went to the restaurant for dinner by car.

He and his assistant took the elevator downstairs. The elevator stopped on the third floor. After the door opened, two people came in. The leader was a young man wearing a mask. Seeing him, he was taken aback, "Director Tao, you are back."

Tao Xin looked him up and down, "Qiao Lu?"

Qiao Lu is an actor signed by their company. He is good-looking, fresh and young, and has a talent for acting. The movie starring him and directed by Tao Xin was released in China two years ago. The box office exceeded 8000 million that day. The hot new generation of actors and directors, their cooperation is successful.But the two don't have much contact in private. Tao Xin is away from home all year round, and when he comes back occasionally, he just says hello.

Qiao Lu walked in and stood beside Tao Xin, "Director Tao is returning to China this time for the movie?"

"Yes." Tao Xin looked up at himself in the mirror of the elevator door, matured, and didn't know how Qin Rui would react when he saw him today.

Qiao Lu nodded and did not speak. The elevator stopped on the first floor. Tao Xin walked out first. The driver drove the car to the door. Tao Xin was about to get in the car. From the corner of his eye, he saw Qiao Lu standing quietly on the other side. On the phone, vaguely saying things like "but it's too late", "forget it, let's take a taxi by ourselves".

"Boss Tao, get in the car." The assistant urged.

Tao Xin raised her hand, "Go and ask where they are going."

The assistant understood, turned around and walked towards Qiao Lu and the others. After a while, he came back, "Coincidentally, they also went to the private restaurant."

"Give them a ride." After Tao Xin finished speaking, she got into the car first.

After a while, the car door was pushed open again, Qiao Lu stepped up with one foot, saw Tao Xin paused, "Thank you, Director Tao."

Tao Xin sat down firmly, "You're welcome on the way."

Tao Xin sat in the back row of the business car, Qiao Lu hesitated, and sat next to Tao Xin, with two assistants sitting in the middle, the car started, Qiao Lu said, "Does Director Tao want to have dinner with the crew? "

Tao Xin replied to him: "No, it's family."

Tao Xin's family background has long been no secret in the circle, Qiao Lu nodded and said nothing.

When they arrived at the dining place, the two assistants got out of the car first, followed by Qiao Lu, and finally Tao Xin.When he got out of the car, Qiao Lu was waiting by the side. For some reason, when his foot landed on the ground, he couldn’t stand still. Qiao Lu said, "Be careful."

Tao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

"Are you okay?" Qiao Lu let go of him, "Did you twist your ankle?"

"It's okay." Tao Xin moved her ankle, it hurt a little, but it wasn't severe, "Thanks to you."

"You're welcome, I should thank you, otherwise I would be late today." Qiao Lu said, "By the way, Director Tao, do you have time to have dinner together some other day?"

Tao Xin just wanted to say no, when a tall figure appeared in the corner of his eye, he immediately changed his words: "Okay, I'm free this week, you set a time to tell me."

Qiao Lu laughed, looking very excited, "Okay."

The sound of footsteps came, and the figure was already close at hand. Qiao Lu also saw the person coming, and paused, "Boss Qin."

Qin Rui only looked down at Tao Xin, and said in a low voice, "Here we are."

Tao Xin looked at the man in front of him, he was more mature and ruthless than six years ago, the sharp jaw line was now like a knife and an axe, the aura of the superior was overwhelming, Tao Xin saw After one glance, he lowered his eyes and dared not look again, "Mmm."

"Go in, Dad and the others are already here."

After Qin Rui finished speaking, he had time to take a look at Qiao Lu. Qiao Lu opened his mouth and hurriedly said, "I'll go in first." After speaking, he took his assistant and left as if fleeing.

Qin Rui and Tao Xin were still standing in place.

Qin Rui glanced at Tao Xin's assistant again. The assistant quickly got into the car, left a sentence "Mr. Tao, call me after dinner and I'll pick you up", then slammed the door and urged the driver to drive away up.

Everyone left, Qin Rui's sense of pressure suddenly increased, Tao Xin closed his eyes, trying to say "go, let's go in" as easily as possible. As soon as the words came to his lips, Qin Rui suddenly took a step forward, Tao Xin's heart ached. Lifting it up suddenly, subconsciously took a step back, the distance between the two opened again, and the air suddenly condensed.

Qin Rui's expression was unspeakably ugly, Tao Xin paused, walked around him, enduring the tingling pain from his ankle and walked inside.
