The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Sin ah.

Tao Zhi felt helpless and stuffed a piece of pork belly into his mouth.

"You just said, what is the relationship between Wendy and Lawrence?" Taoci asked dully.

Lawrence's mother noticed that the atmosphere seemed a little strange. She looked left and right and found that everyone's eyes were on her.

Tao Li rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

It had been so long since her father agreed to her relationship with Lawrence, and she had been so lazy over the years that she had forgotten about lying to her father and telling him that Wendy was her child.

"It's Lawrence's brother's child. Due to the nature of my husband's and my work, it's not convenient for us to help take care of the child, so Lawrence has been taking care of the child." Lawrence's mother said.

Taoci put down his chopsticks, and his mood became unusually depressed.

"What's wrong?" Lawrence's mother asked.

Tao Zhi was exhausted, the truth had been exposed, what kind of Shura world was this?

At the beginning, Tao Li lied to Taoci and said that Wendy was his child with another woman. His purpose was to recognize Wendy, which also happened to fulfill Taoci's wish to have an offspring.

Now this whole thing was performed live in an unprecedented way.

No one spoke at the table for a while. Tao Li was lost in his own emotions, pursing his lips in thought.

Tao Zhi was also thinking about it in his mind and assessing the situation.

No matter how serious the matter is, Lawrence and Tao Li cannot be divorced because of it.

That means he will have to wait until Taoci comes to his senses.

That's it for now, let's get started.

Tao Zhi picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, chewing it. He wanted to eat the shrimps in the distance on his right hand, but he didn't want to make a fuss to reach for it in such an atmosphere.

He nudged Gong Cheng with his elbow, then pointed in the direction of the shrimp with his mouth, signaling Gong Cheng to help him pick some.

Wendy looked at Taoci's appearance, her heart was torn and her eyes were full of guilt.

I have seen all the good things that Taoci has done to me over the years, but these good things were given to me on the premise that I am his granddaughter.

"Grandpa..." Wendy tried to shout.

"Don't call me grandpa." Taoci replied.

Tao Zhi stopped stuffing food into his mouth after hearing this, but he still had to chew the food that was already in his mouth.

This matter seems to be a bit serious.

I don't think it will happen right now. Tao Zhi couldn't help but worry.

Just when everyone was holding their breath, Taoci spoke again.

"Call me grandpa." Taoci said.

After finally letting out the breath he had been holding, Tao Zhi felt relieved and continued to pick up food.

Lawrence's mother was equally relieved.

Although I didn't know what happened, due to the nature of my work, I was able to keenly capture the turbulent situation on the field just now, and therefore realized belatedly that I seemed to have ruined something.

When Wendy saw that Taoci did not bear any grudge against her because she was not his biological granddaughter, she looked delighted and smiled particularly brightly.

"Okay Grandpa." Wendy shouted.

"Why did you put down your chopsticks? Eat now, the food is getting cold."

Taoci returned to his initial smile and enthusiastically invited everyone at the table to start eating, as if nothing had happened.

Tao Zhi was completely relieved upon seeing this, so he started to eat without any worries, and from time to time he would ask Gong Cheng to pick up this and that for him.

Gong Cheng helped Tao Zhi peel a lot of shrimps and put them aside, and Tao Zhi put them into his mouth one by one.

"Tao Li, Tao Zhi." Tao Ci shouted.

Tao Zhi looked over when he heard the voice. He was still stuffing shrimp into his mouth, waiting for what Tao Ci would say next.

"I'll deal with you two after dinner."

The one who said this still had a pleasant expression on his face, looking kind and amiable.

When Tao Zhi heard this, the shrimp fell off his chopsticks and a stunned expression appeared on his face.

No, why is this my business again? Tao Zhi wailed in his heart.

Although there were some minor setbacks, the meal went smoothly.

"Grandpa, we'll leave first." Wendy said.

"Hey, good granddaughter, come play again next time." Taoci smiled and touched Wendy's head.

Taoci saw Lawrence's arms dealer father and spy mother out the door, then put his hands behind his back and walked back into his room.

Tao Li followed, and Tao Zhi sighed and followed too when he saw this.

The two men followed and prepared to go into the house, but before they stepped into the house, the door was closed, and the two men stood outside the house staring at each other.

After Taoci entered the room, his straight shoulders slumped, and his hands, which were behind his back for pretense, were released and hung on both sides of his body. Each step he took became heavier than the last.

Taoci walked to the bed, took the photo frame on the bedside table, then sat down weakly on the cold floor along the edge of the bed, leaning his back against the bed.

At this moment, Taoci lost the aura he had outside the house, and his true colors revealed that he was just an ordinary father. The smile he had been trying to maintain finally fell, and sadness spread in his eyes.

Taoci reached out and opened the cabinet on the bedside table, took out a pair of reading glasses from it, put them on her face skillfully, and crossed her legs casually.

Taoci held the photo in one hand and gently stroked it with the other.

The photo shows a family of four. The wife is sitting on a chair holding little Tao Zhi. On the left stands the stern-faced teenage Tao Li. On the right stands Tao Zhi with loving eyes resting his hand on the woman's shoulder.

Taoci's gaze fell on the woman's face with a bright smile. His gaze was extremely gentle, yet mixed with a hint of grievance.

"Wife, when you were away, those two brats bullied an old man like me again." Taoci complained in a gentle voice.

The room was silent, and as usual, China would not wait for anyone's response.

"One of them lied to me, and the other colluded with me to hide the truth from me."

"Do you remember our little foreign granddaughter? I just found out that she is not Xiaoli's child."

"Come to think of it, Xiaoli is such a sensible child, how could he give birth to a child with a woman without saying a word? The most outrageous thing he has done in his life is probably getting the marriage certificate without telling us."

"As for me, I also know that there is no throne to inherit in my family, and I don't expect to have many children."

"But just now I suddenly learned that our Tao family has no descendants. I can't help but feel bad."

"Even though your health was so poor back then, you still didn't want to have an abortion and insisted on giving birth to our second child."

"You love children so much, but you won't see any children playing around in our old house anymore. Will you feel regretful and bored?"

"It's okay. I chat with you every day. Don't think I'm nagging as I get older."

"The two brats have grown up and have their own ideas. They can bear the consequences of their choices."

"As an old man, I don't have any expectations for them. I just hope they can be safe and happy."

"Did you see the child that the second child brought back today? I haven't seen him for so many years. Do you still remember him?"

"That fair-skinned little boy back then, looks very different now, doesn't he?"

"I said back then that he would have a bright future. Look how good my judgment was. Now he is a capable and influential person."
