Chapter 57

Tao Zhi didn't stay with Jiang Qihuai for too long.

After she learned about those things, she just wanted to see him, look at him, and tell him that she would always be here.

When the person saw this, Tao Zhi hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was no need to tell him about these things. She didn't want to bring any unnecessary and useless pressure to Jiang Qihuai.

She just pretended that she didn't know anything.

Tao Xiuping's reaction was within a range she could understand.

Tao Zhi had a lot of confidence that she could convince Tao Xiuping. After all, from childhood to adulthood, Tao Xiuping would almost follow her ideas and agree to any decision she made.

She went home wearing Jiang Qihuai's coat. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Ji Fan jumping back and forth at the entrance of the community, jumping around.

She closed the car door and Ji Fan just raised his head.

The boy frowned and looked impatient: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, why are you so slow?"

Tao Zhi glanced at him: "Why are you coming out?"

"Dad asked me to come out to find you. He originally wanted to come out by himself, but he didn't want to argue with you about this again today," Ji Fan glanced back and forth at her coat that obviously did not belong to her, raised his eyebrows, "Have you secretly reported the news?"

Tao Zhi also raised his eyebrows: "I'm so afraid that I'm not following me?"

Ji Fan waved his hand and walked into the community: "I don't have the interest in making light bulbs. Although I probably know where his home is, you suddenly got off the car in the last sports meeting, right?"

Tao Zhi paused: "Dad know too?"

"... Lao Tao is not a fool," Ji Fan sighed, "Just he took out Jiang Qihuai's old foundation, which was as detailed as his job resume and life. He could not know about this little thing, and the house seemed to be rented, and his family had no money to buy a house in the imperial capital."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Tao Zhi.

The girl looked indifferent, and Ji Fan continued, "Anyway, you think that as long as our family has money to buy it."

"It's just that I might have to fight a protracted battle with Old Man Tao," Tao Zhi said, and suddenly hooked Ji Fan's neck and pulled it down, asking worriedly: "Ji Xiaofan, just in case I still ask, are you standing on my side, right?"

Ji Fan was pulled down by her and said to the truth: "To be honest, I plan to stand on my dad's side."

Tao Zhi grinned and strangled his neck: "You! Say it again!"

Ji Fan coughed twice and tried hard to drill down: "I'll tell the truth! Although I don't deal with Jiang Qihuai for some reasons, to be fair and objective, he is indeed good. If his family is just a little poor, then I don't think you can talk to him. If this force is done, the conditions will not be bad in the future."

"But after watching those things today, I actually don't support them," Ji Fan broke free from her claws. It was rare to be a little serious. Looking at Tao Zhi, "Although Lao Tao's thoughts are a little cruel and selfish, there are also his reasons. To put it bluntly, how capable can our family be? It's just an ordinary family with relatively better conditions. Do you think that Jiang Qihuai's scumbag father, can Lao Tao get the slap in the middle of the battle again or let him evaporate silently? It's impossible. It's not like acting in a TV series, letting him disappear from this world within ten? This is impossible."

Tao Zhi lowered his eyes and said nothing. Ji Fan continued, "So the only thing Lao Tao can do now is to protect you as much as possible and keep you away from this uncertainty. Jiang Qihuai is innocent and a victim, but everyone's first consideration is not someone else's children, but only their own relatives. This is a natural human nature."

"When the child I loves to grow up, I like the son of a murderer who lives by relying on his parents. Think about it, if you can support this matter? He is selfless and respects your ideas. It is impossible for any parent to accept this matter."

"And Lao Tao is a rational person. Don't you know for so many years?"

Ji Fan's voice suddenly lowered: "He likes his mother so much. Back then, he chose his career in the end. Maybe for him, love is not a necessity for life. Do you expect the protagonist to change this matter to you, and he will suddenly change his mind?"

Impossible.

Tao Zhi couldn't even think of a rebuttal.

What Ji Fan said is the fact that Tao Zhi's personality is a clue. If you recognize it, you will rush forward regardless of what you want. This personality has completely inherited Tao Xiuping. Ji Jin used to joke that the boys at home don't have the personality like their fathers, but the girls are like them.

Whether it is firm or stubborn, since I have made a decision, even if there is a mountain in front of me, Tao Zhi has to dig a way out in the mountain.

-

Tao Zhi had already decided to argue with Tao Xiuping afterwards, so she made a draft in her heart for three thousand times, but Tao Xiuping did not come to her to talk about this matter again.

He was doing whatever he should have done as if nothing had happened, and Tao Zhi was a little uneasy.

Even though I racked my brains, I couldn't imagine that this old agent was brewing some magic tricks.

She simply put down this matter for the time being and devoted all her energy to the exam.

In early January, the test scores were obtained.

This test paper is generally a little harder than last time. Tao Zhi's total score is still 580, but his ranking in the school year was slightly raised by more than a dozen places.

Before the exam, she was obviously very anxious, as if every exam was a battlefield, and she was eager to prove something in every battle, but now Tao Zhi suddenly calmed down again.

Compared with some things, the results are really the simplest and the most realistic and open-minded.

It will give you as much as you give, fair and calm, unlike everything.

In this world, you are obviously working so hard, but you still can't see any reward or light.

Jiang Qihuai has been struggling day after day in such a fact.

Tao Zhi's nose suddenly became a little sore. She turned her head and looked at the boy sitting on the back table.

Noting that she turned around, Jiang Qihuai raised his head.

Tao Zhi supported his head and looked at him quietly, not knowing what he was thinking, and he was a little distracted.

Jiang Qihuai closed the test paper.

A slight sound made Tao Zhi come to his senses. After a brief moment of being stunned, she showed a smile, lowered her body, lazily lay on his desk, looking at him.

Jiang Qihuai was stared at by her for a while before asking, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at my handsome first boyfriend in the grade." Tao Zhi said openly.

“…”

Ji Fan couldn't stand this blatant show of affection. He rolled his eyes, slapped his hands with a knife, hung it on his neck, and made a move to wipe his neck.

Tao Zhi was completely deemed that he did not exist, and she reached out from under the table, secretly covering her fingertips and gently tapped on his knees.

Jiang Qihuai also stretched out his hand.

Everyone in the classroom was discussing the results that had just been released. Li Shuangjiang misapplied two answer sheets because he was careless and ran in regret in the aisle between the two rows of tables. Almost no one paid attention to the small movements under the table.

Tao Zhi groped and slowly grabbed his finger.

She held his fingertips and squeezed them gently, then blinked at him.

Jiang Qihuai pursed his lips.

Over the past period of time, although Tao Zhi has made herself look as different as usual as possible, the girl is obviously much quieter than before.

It was gone, and she was quarreling before, and most of the time, she just looked at him and was stunned for a while.

Jiang Qihuai's uneasiness spread little by little.

He is actually a very selfish person, probably by nature or instinct. From childhood to adulthood, he seems to have no such quality as "kindness". No matter what the situation is, as long as it does not involve himself or Jiang Qinghe, he can watch coldly.

Even though Tao Zhi knew that this was wrong, even if she had seen such a scene, he still didn't dare to tell her anything.

Jiang Qinghe is his relative, his family, and a bond connected by blood, but Tao Zhi is not.

Since she can get close, she can also choose to leave.

A little sinful and dark mentality was at work. Jiang Qihuai had no confidence. Tao Zhi knew everything. After knowing the mess he and the blood-hard mess he carried behind him, he would rather smile at him like he did now.

He has very few things, so even if there is a little chance, he doesn't want to take this risk.

He wanted to be a little selfish for the last time, and wanted to try his best to hold on, the light that squeezed in through the crack.

-

Tao Xiuping not only acted on the surface but stopped asking about it. After that night, he not only did not mention it, but even did not restrict Tao Zhi in his movements, except for the access control at night.

Tao Zhi wanted to tell him about this several times, but he still couldn't speak.

If you talk about it, you will most likely be opposed.

But if you don’t talk about this, you’re buried there like a □□. I don’t know if the lead is tied one day, it will explode.

The tutor was over on Saturday night, and she sent a message to Jiang Qihuai in advance.

He also had a tutor on Saturday, and it would be very late to go back. Tao Xiuping was not at home that night, and Ji Fan also had to eat and play with his former high school friends. No one watched him, and Tao Zhi couldn't rest alone. She was going to Jiangqihuai's house to have dinner with Grandpa Jiang.

The old man stays alone at home every day, and Jiang Qihuai has the same kind of dull personality, and it’s boring to chat with no one.

She greeted Aunt Zhang, picked a brightly colored coat and went out, and took a taxi over.

It was past five o'clock in the evening when I got off the bus. Grandpa Jiang probably hadn't started cooking at this point yet. Tao Zhi ran to the small supermarket next to him to buy some beef and fruit, and turned into the alley with a bag.

This area of ​​Jiangqihuai family is completely different from the scenery near Taozhi family. The buildings are not high, with five or six floors. Every few stores on the street, there is a long, two-dimensional alley with two people.

Crystal ice slags hung on the wall, old bicycles and cartons piled up in high places were buried under the thick snow.

Tao Zhi walked through the long alley and walked downstairs of the community and heard a sparse sound in front of him.

She walked around the bicycle shed and saw two figures in front of her.

The gray-haired old man fell and curled up on the snow, and another person next to him was squatting in front of him.

Tao Zhi first looked like someone fell and another person was helping, until she recognized the old man as Grandpa Jiang.

The other person squatting next to him was the man wearing a black down jacket before. The man cursed and sweared, and his frozen hands kept searching inside and out of the old man.

Tao Zhi almost subconsciously took a small step back.

The sole of the shoe made a slight "crunch" sound when it was stepped on the fluffy snow. The man turned his head in an instant, and his eyes were cold and gloomy under the street lights.

It is different from fighting in school, and it is completely different from those small fights that cause trouble. Tao Zhi realized this in an instant.
