"I will send An Ran to Aunty Zhong's house. Irene only wants Lei Zichen so she won't be a threat to An Ran for the time being." Tao Ran calmly said. Both of his hands pinched Tao Tian's shoulders to force her to be more rational.

"Alright, brother, hurry up." Tao Tian anxiously said as he picked up An Xin, who was still sitting on the sofa.

"Good An An, good girl. Mummy and uncle suddenly have something to do. You should go to Grandma's home and wait for Mommy to come back, okay?" No matter how flustered he was, he had to try his best to calm himself down in front of An An.

"Alright, Mommy, then come back quickly." An An unwillingly hugged Tao Tian's neck.

"No problem, Mommy will be back soon."

After saying that, Tao Yao hurriedly pushed open the door and went to knock on Auntie Zhong's door.

"Auntie, Big Brother and I have something to take care of. An …"

"Anye, stay here with me for now. Don't worry about the old rules." Auntie Zhong was in a good mood as she said with a smile.

"Then I'll be troubling you. I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, An An." With that, Tao Tian hurriedly turned around and left.

"Yao Yao, let's follow the old rules. Here." As he spoke, Tao Ran handed over the miniature transceiver equipment that he often used to complete missions.

"Take it with you," Tao Tian said as he lowered his head to look at the device in his brother's hand. A warm feeling rose in his heart. No matter what kind of situation he was in, his brother would always be the one to give up his life to save him.

"Big brother, thank you." Tao Tian took the equipment and swiftly put it on. It was hidden in a spot on his chest. He then ran out a few steps ahead of Tao Ran.

As soon as they were out in the corridor, Tao Yao began to look around for Irene's car.

"Beep, beep." A few loud whistles pierced the silence of the night. It was Irene who had seen the panicking Tao Tian in the distance.

Tao Yao followed the sound and looked over. A red Porsche was parked by the side of the road. It was quite eye-catching in front of the simple and unadorned residential complex.

Without any hesitation, Tao Tian got into the car.

"Irene, what do you want?" He went straight to the point without any superfluous words.

Why, shouldn't old friends get together when they meet?" Over the past few years, she had become even more enchanting, like a big wave, like a scarlet hair, or a tight black gown, or a red leather coat, or a pair of black leather boots with high heels. She was definitely an eye-catching woman.

"What do you want?" Tao Tian only repeated these two sentences.

"What do you want? I've made myself clear. Come on, don't talk in the car. How about finding a place to sit?" Without waiting for Tao Tian to finish, Irene started the car and drove away from Tao Tian's house.

Seeing Irene drive away, Tao Ran followed closely behind, driving the car at a distance that was neither too close nor too far away.

Irene found a coffee shop nearby, parked her car, picked up her bag and walked in, ignoring Tao Tian who was following her.

She knew that Tao Tian's weak point was that someone had found out about her identity and her whereabouts.

In that case, her weakness was her lifeline. Clearly, she was taking the initiative.

Irene found a seat close to the window and sat down, "Miss Tao, please do as you please." Irene smiled as she looked at Tao Tian. Her hair had changed, and her dress style had changed. The charm of a young girl had been replaced by the charm of a young woman. She was indeed a mother to a child.

"Miss Tao, I haven't seen you in so many years. How have you been?" On the other hand, Irene began to chat with Tao Tian at a leisurely pace.

"Miss Ai, my son is still waiting for me at home. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. I don't have that much time to chat with you." Tao Tian rolled his eyes at Irene and said anxiously.

"Ladies, what would you like to drink?" The waiter happened to walk over and ask.

"Two cups of lemon tea will do." Eileen made a slight gesture with her slender fingers.

"I'm not mistaken, Miss Tao." Irene said with a smile.

"What do you want?" Tao Tian bit his lips as he looked at Irene.

"Don't want anything to do with it? "I think no one in Yan City would have thought that the young mistress of the Tao family, the young mistress of the Lei family, who died in a car accident, would still be alive and well. Furthermore, she even has a three-year-old son." Irene said word by word, her goal was obvious.

"So what?" Tao Tian looked coldly at Irene and asked softly.

"Can't do anything," Irene coldly snorted, "Big Brother Zichen came to find you again? Is your relationship back to normal? " Irene asked.

"What does it have to do with you?" Tao Tian knew that was Irene's goal.

"What does it have to do with me?" Irene slammed the table and shouted, "Did you know that Brother Zichen promised me that he would marry me once I got back from here? I've waited for three years, three years, do you know!" Irene pointed at Tao Tian's nose and roared loudly, her emotions out of control. Even her voice had become a few decibels louder.

Tao Tian didn't reply, but silently looked at Irene, wanting to see what else she could say.

"Hmph, snatching something from me will not end well." Irene shot a glance at Tao Tian, tidying up her clothes with a cold smile, "Do you know why brother Zichen was so sure that you wanted to kill him back then?" Irene asked mysteriously.

"It's because … "You …" Tao Tian seemed to have come to his senses and looked at Irene in disbelief.

"Yeah, I secretly recorded your phone conversation with someone else, and I even found someone to do the job."

"My phone call. What phone call?" The situation back then and the memories that were sealed away suddenly rushed at his face.

"You cried and called for help, saying that you don't want to kill Brother Zichen and wanted him to help you think of a way," Irene said word by word of the situation back then, "At that time, I was right behind you and recorded your words with a recording. Afterwards, I found someone to deal with it later and it became an ironclad proof that you wanted to kill Brother Zichen, then I released it to Brother Zichen. After saying that, Irene smirked and stared at Tao Tian.

"And that day, I don't know why you came home. I put the medicine I prepared in the wine that Brother Zichen drank. Actually, when he was with me that day, he was still muttering your name. Haha, but it was of no use."

Irene was half pleased, half sad, "Tao Tian, you don't know how much Zi-ge Chen hated you in the years after you died, you don't know how hard it was for me to make him hate you, and then accept me, but why don't you go and die, why are you still alive, aren't you already dead?" Remembering that everything she was about to get was going to be for nothing but the woman in front of her, Irene couldn't help but wish she could get rid of her quickly.

"You …" With so many truths being presented at the same time in front of Tao Tian, it caused him to be so excited that he couldn't say a single word while pointing at Irene. In the past, he had wholeheartedly wanted to save her, but how had she become like that?

"You're too despicable." After a moment of silence, Tao Tian managed to spit out a few words with great difficulty.

"Despicable? I just want to protect the man I love. Did I wrongly accuse you? Aren't you assigned to kill Brother Zichen? " Irene aggressively threw out one sharp question after another.

"So, now you think?" Tao Tian calmed down and asked as he leaned into Irene's face.

"I don't want to do anything, Qi Xue'er has already told me about you two, she has eyes but did not recognize Mt. Tai, I didn't know you were such a famous young lady or young lady, I really thought you were some makeup artist from some small city, you actually had the guts to touch my man, so it was you."

Irene drank a mouthful of water and continued, "Tell me, if I go back and expose in the media that Miss Tao is still alive and has children, or that she is a member of the Lei Family, or that I go to Master Tao, who is being suppressed by the Lei Family, there is nowhere to vent his anger. If I tell him this news, what would happen? "Normal people wouldn't be able to touch you with your abilities, but that darling of yours is still young, right? He doesn't know anything, right …" Elin raised her face and smiled proudly as she threatened Tao Tianyi.

"Irene, I've always thought that you were a persistent woman. I respect you, but if you threaten my son today, don't blame me for being rude." Tao Tian was so angry that his entire body was trembling. "Look at you, even Zichen wouldn't like you!" Tao Tian's last words stung Irene's sensitive heart!

Tao Tian, what are you saying? This is our deal, and if you are unwilling, I have no choice but to do it. We will leave for Yan City on Monday, and I will go look for Master Tao.

After Irene finished her sentence, there was another burst of creepy laughter, which made all the customers cast sidelong glances at her.

"Irene, I didn't expect you to be so despicable." Tao Tian bit his lips as he spoke in a low voice.

"Since we're both women, you have to understand me. I'm just trying to reclaim the man that belongs to me." Irene did not care about what Tao Tian thought of him.

Tao Tian, let me warn you, when you see Brother Zichen tomorrow, you better put aside your relationship with him. Also, he and I are soon going to be married, and we will have our own children in the future. So, since he has already grown up by your side, please continue to be like this, otherwise don't blame me for being a guest at your Tao family.

Irene said her last sentence with a sneer, "It's getting late, I won't be accompanying you. I believe you don't want to see me either, so I won't send you off." With that, he picked up his bag and stuffed a hundred yuan bill into the waiter's hand, then left without looking back.

However, what filled Tao Tian's ears was only Irene's final warning. She was originally a person who feared nothing in the world, but now that her weakness was so obvious, she wouldn't allow others to harm her safety. Nobody could.

She was just trying her best to pursue her own happiness. In the past, she did not hesitate to risk her life to let the people around her get their hands on it, and even if she tried to escape, she would not be able to escape from it, but right or wrong, in the end, who could escape from her, and tell Zichen about it. But now, Irene was threatening him with her peace, and she knew that she was still in the mortal world, so no matter how difficult it was for her, it was hard for her to overcome this obstacle.
