"Why are you home?!" Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Xiaohua in surprise.

"Why can't I be at home? This is my home, alright?" Zhao Xiaohua smiled as he stepped aside.

Xu Taiping walked into Zhao Biqian's house, which was filled with the fragrance of food.

"The peace is here!" Zhao Biqian walked out of the kitchen and greeted Xu Taiping with a smile.

"Do you cook yourself?" Xu Taiping asked.

"En, my cooking skills are still quite good. Take a seat first. Little Flower, make some tea for Taiping." Zhao Buqian said.

"Got it, Dad." As Zhao Xiaohua spoke, he glanced at Xu Taiping and smiled, "Let's go to the living room to make tea."

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded, followed by Zhao Xiaohua into the living room and sat down.

Zhao Xiaohua turned on the TV while boiling the water.

The entertainment news was being shown on the television, and it happened to be the same news report from the movie Xu Taiping had shot.

"It seems like the media has paid a lot of attention to you. Oh yeah, why are you free to come back today?" Xu Taiping asked.

"The movie segment in the vertical store has already been cleared, so the producer gave us three days of leave. Three days later, we will gather at the Hong Kong city." Zhao Xiaohua explained.

"Looks like Sun Yunpeng is really a good producer. He knows how to give actors time off." Xu Taiping laughed.

"The producers are really good, they usually take good care of us too!" Zhao Xiaohua nodded.

"This is the first time such a big movie has been filmed. What does it feel like?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I don't have any other feelings. I just don't think that the things I've learnt in the past will be enough for this show." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"People always find their weakness when they keep moving forward, and then they constantly make up for it and make themselves better." Xu Taiping said.

"Yeah, I now often find people to talk about acting, especially with our film crew's big coffee. They all give me a lot of valuable suggestions. Speaking of which, I really have to thank you." Zhao Xiaohua said.

"There's no need to say any more words of gratitude. I did it all for my own sake." Xu Taiping waved his hand with a smile.

"Shall I treat you to dinner alone?" Zhao Xiaohua asked.

"Alone?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Aren't you afraid that you will turn into food?"

Zhao Xiaohua's face turned slightly red as he said, "If you wanted to eat me, you would have already done so. Is there a need to wait till now?"

"Hahaha!" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "The water's boiling."

Zhao Xiaohua blanked out for a moment, then realized that the water was really boiling, so he quickly took the kettle away from the stove.

Waves of water vapor rose into the air and the fragrance of tea wafted into the air.

They brewed tea for a while, and then the food was served.

Zhao Buqian carefully took out a huge glass bottle. The glass bottle was filled to the brim with wine. Inside the bottle, there was a long item, as well as medlar. It seemed to be very nourishing.

"Come here!" Zhao Buqian said.

Xu Taiping got up and walked into the dining room. Looking at the glass bottle on the table, he said with a smile, "Old Zhao, if you drink this, you'll get a nosebleed tonight!"

"Hahaha, that's not the case. I added some special herbs and neutralized the wine to make it more gentle." Zhao Bi said with a hollow laugh.

"Shall we drink this tonight?" Xu Taiping asked.

"As long as you can drink it, I definitely won't have a problem!" Zhao Bi laughed dryly.

"Alright, let's drink more tonight!" Xu Taiping laughed.

"This time, it's mainly to thank you for helping me last time." Zhao Buqian whispered into Xu Taiping's ear, "If it wasn't for you, I'd be in deep trouble. Thank you so much."

"If you say so, then don't bother. Old Zhao, in the future, you must be careful and not go to such unreliable places." Xu Taiping said seriously.

"Cough cough cough, don't talk anymore. It's all in the past now!" Old Zhao, I won't make any more mistakes! " Zhao Buqian said embarrassedly.

"What are you guys talking about? Why are you guys gathered so close?" Zhao Biqian's wife came out of the kitchen and asked.

"It's nothing. We were talking about the ingredients for this wine." Zhao Buqian quickly explained.

"The food is ready. Get on the table, get ready to eat!" Zhao Buqian's wife said.

Zhao Buqian pulled Xu Taiping down and sat down. Soon after, Zhao Xiaohua and Zhao Buqian's wife also sat down at the table.

Even if dinner was about to begin, there were no outsiders around the table. Everyone was still eating and drinking. Time passed quickly.

Because this time, Zhao Xiaohua had three days of vacation, so he also drank a bit of wine. However, just one cup was enough, this Deer Whip was very strong, and it was really hard for ordinary people to control, so Zhao Xiaohua went back to his room early to rest. Zhao Xiaohua's wife also left the table after eating for a while.

Only Xu Taiping and Zhao Biqian were left on the table.

"It's peaceful. Actually, there's something I need to trouble you with this time." Zhao Buqian said.

"What is it?" Other than being your son-in-law, I can do anything else! " Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"What do you mean you can do anything but be my son-in-law?" Didn't you always want to be my son-in-law? " Zhao Buqian asked.

"People change, don't they? Previously, I hinted at you so many times, but you didn't even try to play tricks on me and Little Flower. Now that I'm Little Flower's investor, how can I play along with Little Flower? What did Little Flower become when he went back and let the media report on him? Lending him the position? The investor's little lover? " Xu Taiping asked.

"About that, I just feel that you have too many female friends. I just want my family's Little Flower to have a stable life." Zhao Buqian said embarrassedly.

"I understand. A man with such outstanding talents like me is destined to be extraordinary. As for you, as the father, I hope that my daughter can be more stable. I understand all of this, so I'll stop thinking about it!" Xu Taiping said.

"Let's not change the subject. You haven't heard what I've asked of you!" Zhao Buqian said.

"Go ahead." Xu Taiping said.

"It's like this. In half a month, Old Master Zhao of the capital city's Old Zhao will be celebrating his seventieth birthday." Zhao Buqian said.

"Old Master Zhao's seventieth birthday? Which Old Master Zhao? " Xu Taiping asked.

"He is the grandson of the oldest member of the Zhao Family, Zhao Dingbang. He is also the steward of the Zhao Family. He is also the father of Zhao Taixu, Zhao Taiji, and Zhao Taiheng." Zhao Buqian said.

"Zhao Taiji's father?" Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment. According to what he had heard from his elder brother, he should be of the same generation as Zhao Taiji, and his elder brother, Zhao Dingjun, should be of the same generation, just like Zhao Dingbang. However, if he was still alive, he should be only in his fifties, and he was still a long way off from Zhao Dingbang.

"Yes, the head of the Zhao Family now belongs to this Zhao Dingbang. Back then, in the Zhao Family, I had a very good relationship with him because we were about the same age." Zhao Buqian explained.

"So? Are you going to celebrate his birthday? " Xu Taiping asked.

"Mm, Old Master Zhao's seventieth birthday is a very grand affair, so he specifically called me two days ago, hoping that I could return to the Zhao Family ten days earlier and reminisce about old times with him. I think it's been decades since we last met. Since he's already called, should I go back? " Zhao Buqian said.

"Then go back, as you said, you have a very good relationship with each other." Xu Taiping said.

Even though I left the Zhao Family, it was the Zhao Family that raised me. Old Man Zhao is also my good brother, so it's better for me to go back, but you know that taking such a long period of time is not allowed in our school. So, I hope that you can give me half a month of leave so that I can go to the Zhao Family and meet up with my old brothers. Zhao Buqian said.

"So that's what happened. How big of a deal did I take it to be!" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "I've made the decision, so you don't need to make any special requests. When you leave, just let me know, and I'll find someone to take over your shift until you come back."

"Thank you so much!" Zhao Buqian picked up his wine cup and sighed emotionally, "Thank you, Director Xu."

"Are you calling me Director now? Wasn't it peaceful just now? Old Zhao, you don't need to play around with our relationship. "Just keep calling me 'peace' is enough!" Xu Taiping said.

"If there's an outsider around, you still have to call him Director, or else I won't give you face!" Zhao Buqian quickly said.

"Haha, aren't there no outsiders?" Xu Taiping laughed.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After a round of drinking, the guests were all full of joy. Besides drinking a whole stomach of Deer Whip Wine, Xu Taiping was also surprised to learn that the Zhao Family was about to have some good news.

Although he never considered himself to be a member of the Zhao Family, Xu Taiping still cared a lot about the Zhao Family. If Zhao Dingbang's calculations were not wrong, then he was at the level of Xu Taiping's uncle.

When he thought about how his uncle was already seventy years old, Xu Taiping felt that it was mystical. However, after thinking about it for a while, if he could bring in all of Su Xiangzi, Song Jia, Xia Jinxuan and the other girls into his harem, then this might also happen.

It wasn't too late when he left the Zhao Family. It was around nine o'clock.

Xu Taiping went downstairs and took a taxi back to his house. To him, Xu Taiping felt like returning home. At this moment, there was a girl waiting for him at home. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
