Right now, all she could do was to let everyone maintain their calm …

"Be a bit more relaxed. He's not young anymore." Auntie Zhong smiled, and her tone of voice sounded as if she was very familiar with Lei Haotian.

"Auntie and my father are very familiar with each other?" Lei Haotian couldn't help but be interested. How come he didn't hear his father mention that he also had friends in S City?

"I'm not too familiar with him. He's just a friend from his university days." Auntie Zhong hurriedly adjusted her long vision and explained.

"An An, you're not allowed to pick food, how can you pick all the carrots?" Tao Yao scolded her in a small voice as she saw An An picked out a carrot.

"Mommy, why didn't you tell him about Uncle? He picked them out too." An An's face was filled with dissatisfaction as he pointed at Lei Zichen.

"I …" Lei Zichen was used to idle around by himself. He never expected that his every action and movement would become the target of this little fellow.

"Uncle is an adult. When you grow up to be so tall, you can do it too." Tao Tian was speechless. A sudden inspiration struck him. He had to get along with such a method.

"Ah, yes, that's right. How many centimeters do you have now? Uncle has 185 centimeters. When you can reach such a height, that's fine." Lei Zichen continued as he took over Tao Tian's words.

"Uncle only grew so tall after eating so many carrots."

"Really?" An An's face was filled with disbelief.

"Of course, why would uncle lie to you!" Lei Zichen's eyes widened as he patted his chest in assurance.

Tao Tian glanced at Lei Zichen. This guy was actually even better at tricking children than she was.

As for Lei Zichen, he proudly looked towards Tao Tian. The two of them were singing the same tune, and their tacit understanding remained the same as before.

The four of them were happily eating dinner …

"Ah, that's right," said Tao Yao as he slapped his forehead. I still have to prepare dinner for big brother. Auntie, let's not talk for now, we need to go home first. " Tao Tian anxiously said.

And Auntie Zhong was obviously not satisfied.

"Since there are so many dishes left, if Ran doesn't mind, you can just bring them back home and order them." As Auntie Zhong spoke, she looked at Tao Tian, hoping that she would agree that she had plenty of time to chat with Lei Zichen.

Tao Tian had already noticed Auntie Zhong's intention today, so he agreed and didn't force her.

Auntie Zhong just pulled Lei Zichen along and asked him a lot of questions. She was no different from a nagging elder.

He truly lacked experience in communicating with women. When he was young, his mother had disappeared without him knowing where she went, married when he grew up, and ended up like that. Afterwards, he had played a series of games amidst the flowers and did not have any heartfelt exchanges, because the scene today was sufficient to make it difficult for him to defend himself.

"Ugh …" Seeing how difficult it was for Lei Zichen to deal with, Tao Tian found it funny, but at the same time, he wanted to help out. "Auntie Zhong, it's getting late. My brother will be back soon. We won't disturb your rest any longer." Tao Yao asked Auntie Zhong with a smile.

"Oh, oh, oh!" Realizing that she had lost control of herself, Auntie Zhong blushed a little embarrassedly. "Alright, alright. Little An An, come over to Grandma's for dinner when you're free." Auntie Zhong wanted to divert everyone's attention and said lovingly to little An An.

"Yes, Grandmother, I will." An An An nodded vigorously, her face filled with an innocent smile.

"Auntie Zhong, we're leaving now. I'm so sorry. No matter what, we took so much." With one hand holding An An An's hand, Tao Tian shook the box in his other hand with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Of course. Come back when you're free." Auntie Zhong replied to Tao Tian with these words. However, her eyes were looking at Lei Zichen with a face full of anticipation and reluctance.

"I …" Lei Zichen pointed at himself. He didn't know why this aunt would be so enthusiastic about this young man that he only met once.

"Auntie Zhong, don't worry, he will." Tao Tian pulled Lei Zichen's finger as he spoke.

"Auntie Zhong, have a good rest. We'll be leaving first. Goodbye." With that, Tao Yao frantically pulled An An and Lei Zichen out of the room.

Although Tao Yao had lived a peaceful life for three years, her experience of growing up as a hitman also made her natural disposition a bit more cautious than others.

Today, Auntie Zhong's strange attitude and lack of control had already caused Tao Tian to notice a trace of unusualness. However, she didn't dare to think too much into it. She just wanted to let the two of them separate for now so Auntie Zhong could think it through on her own.

"This auntie is so passionate …" After walking out of Auntie Zhong's house, Lei Zichen came to the corridor and smiled as he spoke to Tao Tian. As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Tao Tian who was tightly grabbing onto his hand.

"Yeah, she's always so passionate." Looking at the confused Lei Zichen, Tao Tian's expression returned to its former tranquility.

After all, if he really was the biological mother of Lei Zichen, then he would be the reason why the Lei Family clansmen fought for so many years. If Lei Haotian or her grandfather found out that she was still alive, then she might have pushed herself into an extremely dangerous situation, and it would be better if she could meet with Auntie Zhong one day and explain everything clearly. However, Tao Tian knew that her and her brother's identity was not to be exposed, so she had no choice but to take advantage of the time when Lei Zichen and Auntie Zhong recognized each other.

After all, Tao Tian wasn't alone anymore. An An's life was a matter of concern to her. If her grandfather were to find out that they were still alive and that she was still giving birth to a child for the Lei Family, then even An An would be in danger.

"Lei Dong, it's getting late. Why don't you go back first?" Tao Tian looked at Lei Zichen once again, his eyes filled with calmness.

"Eh, that's fine too. See you on Friday then. I'll be leaving first. Bye bye Ann." Lei Zichen leaned over and waved towards An An.

"Goodbye uncle," An An's face was full of smiles as he waved his chubby little hand.

After bidding farewell to Lei Zichen, Tao Tian brought An Ran home.

"Alright, let's go home and play." Upon entering the room, Tao Tian smiled as he let go of An An's hand, allowing An An to continue tossing and turning inside and out.

She sat quietly on the sofa with a frown. Auntie Zhong's attitude had already made her suspicious. If the last time she met Lei Zichen had caused her to invite the two siblings for a meal, then this time, when she saw Lei Zichen in person, Auntie Zhong actually lost control of herself like this. She even broke a bowl.

Also, she also asked Lei Zichen's father a question. If it were any other alumni, or simply worshipping the citizens of the Lei Family, all of this would not make sense. After all, it seemed like Auntie Zhong knew Lei Haotian very well.

Could it be …

Three years ago, when she passed by her grandfather's study in the middle of the night, she noticed something unusual. It sounded like her grandfather was talking to someone, but after listening carefully for a while, she realized that it was her grandfather's old subordinate. All these years, she had been constantly inquiring about the whereabouts of her foster mother, who had yet to be met with a conspiracy, and wanted to see her dead body.

He hadn't thought that her adoptive mother would be living in this small city peacefully. Furthermore, they were living next to each other. The few people who had escaped from the Tao family were actually living together today.

"Ring, ring, ring." Tao Yao was in the middle of thinking hard when her phone suddenly rang. It was her brother.

"Yao Yao, have you eaten yet?" the elder brother asked concernedly on the other end of the phone, as if he was in a hurry.

"Yes, I did. I ate at Auntie Zhong's house. I even brought a bag for you." Tao Yao replied with a smile.

"Big brother, when are you coming home? I have something to tell you." Tao Tian thought about today's discovery and felt that he should properly discuss it with his older brother. After all, it was related to their consolation, so he had to be cautious.

"What is it? "Is it important?" Tao Ran asked over the phone.

"Nothing, just wait until you get back. You have to be careful." Tao Tian hung up as he spoke.

"Alright, Brother Ran, I'm very happy today. Thank you." On the way back, she seriously told Tao Ran.

"Oh?" Tao Ran raised his eyebrows, "You're welcome, Miss. You're almost home. Remember to eat." Tao Ran parked the car as he warned Ye Ning Tian.

"Alright." As Ye Ning Tian got off the car, she waved goodbye to Tao Ran before turning around and entering her own house.

Tao Ran smiled at Ye Ning Tian and started the car once again before slowly driving back home.

In the evening, Tao Ran continued to drive as usual to the hospital downtown to pick up Ye Ning Tian's class. However, in the distance, he saw a group of people surrounding the hospital's entrance so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. He had no choice but to park his car on the road opposite the hospital and walk inside.

From the moment he entered the hospital, Tao Ran felt that the atmosphere around him was unusual. Everywhere he went, it was as if there was a group of people causing trouble.

When they finally found Ye Ningtian's office on the second floor, they discovered that this was the source of the commotion.

Tao Ran struggled his way to the front of the crowd. It turned out to be a group of people led by a muscular man with a face full of stubble. They were loudly criticizing Ye Ning Tian.

On the other hand, Ye Ning Tian had a face full of anger, but she didn't try to explain herself.

"Eldest Miss!" Tao Ran rushed out of the crowd and shouted.

"Brother Ran." Ye Ning Tian raised her head. Her eyes were filled with stubbornness, but it could not hide the water in her eyes.

"What's going on?" Tao Ran rushed to Ye Ning Tian's side and whispered.

"Brother Ran, it's not convenient to talk about this here. You don't need to ask." Ye Ningtian softly said.

"Doctor Ye, is this your kaizi?" "The bearded man at the side asked ferociously. "What? You're in the wrong, so why don't you ask this old man to scare me!" The man's voice was actually a few times louder than before.

"Sir, what can I do for you?" Tao Ran didn't know what had happened. When he saw that the person who had arrived didn't have any good intentions, he tightly protected Ye Ning Tian.

"What happened?" The bearded man widened his eyes, half angry and half sad.

"My daughter was sent in fine and well. How is there no hope? It's this quack doctor! What kind of hospital is he? He's recruiting some young mistresses without any skills! He thinks too highly of human life!" The bearded man became more and more excited as he spoke, he actually brandished the wooden stick in his hand and was about to attack.
