"As a friend, I can't just sit by and watch you marry someone you don't love, right?" Xu Taiping said.

"How do you know I don't love him?" Emma asked again.

"If you loved him, would you smash him with a candlestick?" Xu Taiping asked.

"That's not necessarily the case. Scolding is love, isn't it? This is an old saying from China?" Emma said.

"The feminists used it to trick people." Xu Taiping shook his head.

"Is that so?" Emma smiled at Xu Taiping and said, "But I still have to thank you. Although I think it would seem like we don't care about thanking you, but I still have to say, without you, I really don't know how to face last night's events. Maybe, maybe, I really would have become a princess, or maybe, I would have been in a crucial prison, after all, I beat up His Royal Highness."

"You still say that even though you know of the other party's identity?" Xu Taiping smiled and reached out his hand, pinching Emma's cheek, "Remember this, you are our friends, very, very good friends. Xu Taiping smiled and reached his hand out, pinched Emma's cheek, and said," Remember this, you are our friends, very, very good friends, very good friends.

"I know!" Emma nodded firmly, then looked at the dishes on the table and said, "I'm a little hungry. I haven't eaten my fill for several days, can we have a meal together?"

"Of course you can!" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "But before we eat, I have a question to ask you."

"What problem?" Emma asked.

"Yesterday, when I broke into your room, I seemed to have heard you say that you... in love with me? " Xu Taiping asked.

When Xu Taiping said this, Emma's face immediately turned red. She turned around and walked to the dining table and sat down, saying, "You must be hallucinating. Come, let's eat. There's so much delicious food, I must eat more!"

"Haha, alright then. Eat more!" Xu Taiping smiled and nodded. He didn't ask any further questions.

The table full of food was meant for the family of Roeschuar, but they were all scolded by Xu Taiping and ran away, leaving only Emma and Xu Taiping behind. That made Emma eat her fill, and half of the food on the table was taken care of by her.

"It's been a long time since I've had so much to eat. You don't know, during this time at home, I've eaten less than a third of what I've eaten every day. I've starved to death!" Emma wiped her mouth and sighed.

"After you go back, I'll make you good food everyday." Xu Taiping laughed.

"Is that so?" Emma looked at Xu Taiping in surprise and said, "You can't lie to me." "If you say it, you will never be able to keep up with it!"

"I, Xu Taiping, would not lie about this." Xu Taiping laughed.

"Alright, pinky swear!" Emma pointed her right hand at Xu Taiping and gave him a thumbs-up.

Xu Taiping smiled, stretched out his right hand, and hooked his pinky with Emma's, then said, "Hang on for a hundred years and you can't change that."

"Alright!" Emma giggled and said, "Then I can follow you back to Huaxia without worry!"

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded, "Let's go back tomorrow! "Go home!"

"Go home?" Emma paused, then nodded. "Home!"

The dinner gave Emma and Xu Taiping more than an hour to chat, and the two of them ate and chatted, dispelling all the worries they had recently. When the lights came on, Xu Taiping sent Emma back to her room. They said good night to each other, and Xu Taiping went back to his room.

As soon as he arrived, Xu Taiping received a call from home.

It was Zhao Xianglu.

"The old man has left." Zhao Xianglu said with a sobbing tone.

"Old Master Zhao?" Xu Taiping frowned and asked.

"Mm, Zhao Taixu's matter has truly hurt the Old Master, so … "The old gramps has left. Feng Shui sir has looked at the date, it's the auspicious day at 9 in the morning the day after tomorrow. At that time, the old gramps will have his funeral, can you come?" Zhao Xianglu asked.

"Sure." Xu Taiping said, "I will definitely come."

"That's good. That's right, before the old man left, he handed over the position of the family head to Zhao Taiji." Zhao Xianglu said.

"Zhao Taiji? He is indeed the best successor to the Zhao Family Patriarch. " Among the three sons of Old Master Zhao, Zhao Taixu had died. Zhao Taiheng was a scientist, and only Zhao Taiji was a businessman. Since he had taken over the Zhao Family, the Zhao Family shouldn't have any problems in terms of finances.

"Give me a call when you come back. I'll pick you up at the airport." Zhao Xianglu said.

"Alright!" Xu Taiping said.

The two casually chatted for a bit before hanging up. Xu Pingping put down his phone, feeling touched. He hadn't thought that Old Man Zhao would leave just like that. If Old Zhao knew about this, would he regret pretending to be dead?

Why do you pretend to be dead?

Xu Taiping was full of doubts, but for now, no one could answer them for him.

Xu Taiping did not sleep well that night, because from his point of view, what happened to the Zhao Family in succession seemed to be a sign that the Zhao Family had gone from prosperity to decline.

No matter how great a person was, they would be blown away by the rain in the end, and their descendants would sometimes not be able to escape the fate of the masses.

Xu Taiping didn't know what would happen to the Zhao Family. However, he could foresee that the Zhao Family would begin to step down from the altar.

It was obvious that Zhao Tietu and Zhao Tietu were still alive and well. Why didn't they care about the matters of their descendants? If Zhao Tietou could stand up for the Zhao Family, then perhaps the Zhao Family wouldn't face a downhill path.

What were those two figures from the Zhao Family thinking?

Xu Tai laid on his bed and thought for a long time. Suddenly, he thought of something his father had once said to him.

It is as strong as the Tang Dynasty, but in the end, it was difficult to escape the fate of a nation. A country is like this, and a family is the same as well.

Xu Taiping's father had told him this when he was telling him the story of history. Because Xu Taiping had a good memory, he remembered it very clearly.

Perhaps, for Zhao Tianzhu, they already stood on an even higher level to see this world, so they could calmly watch as the Zhao Family grew from prosperity to decline. Or perhaps, they were actually waiting.

Xu Taiping let out a long sigh and fell asleep.

Before dawn the next day, Xu Taiping was woken up by a phone call.

Xu Taiping didn't look at the phone number and just picked it up.

"Are you Xu Taiping?" the man on the other end of the line asked.

"I am." Xu Taiping said.

Previously, Zhao Taixu extracted a portion of your blood from your body and tested it in the ancestral hall for DNA, and the results showed that you are of the Zhao Family's blood. However, after investigating the origins of that part of the blood, we discovered that it actually came from an illegitimate descendant of Zhao Taixu, not you, so the ancestral hall decided to remove your identity as a descendant of the Zhao Family. Of course, if you still feel that you are a descendant of the Zhao Family, then you can come to the ancestral hall to the capital and conduct a blood test. The voice on the other end of the phone said.

"In other words, I'm not a member of the Zhao Family anymore?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Yes." The voice on the other end of the phone said.

"Hur hur, alright." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "No, no, I didn't expect to cheat with this identity. It's good that you don't have this identity, but I will still take my surname Xu, and your Zhao Family will still be your family. From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other."

The person on the other end of the line didn't say anything and just hung up.

Xu Taiping threw his phone to the side and looked up at the sky.

In a single night, the entire Zhao Family changed dramatically. Old Master Zhao passed away, and Zhao Taiji took over as the head of the Zhao Family. Xu Taiping no longer had the status of a member of the Zhao Family.

If he wasn't a member of the Zhao Family, how would his father explain this?

Wasn't his father a member of the Zhao Family?

In other words, he, Xu Taiping, was not his father's son at all?

Xu Taiping suddenly thought of his confused mother.

If it was as the ancestral hall of the Zhao Family said, then he was not a member of the Zhao Family, then perhaps he was just a bastard child.

Xu Taiping's lips curved into a mocking smile.

Most importantly, he was Xu Taiping, the king of the entire south of the Yangtze River. He was the bearer of the blue flag, and with his fist, he had struck down a huge mountain, and he did not need to count on anyone. What he needed to do was to keep on getting stronger, keep on walking, and finally take down the golden flag that had been left untouched for almost a hundred years, and stand at the top of the entire China River Lake.

At that time, perhaps the Zhao Family would have to look up to him as well.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was a knock on the door, and a servant entered the room.

"Mr Xu, please put on your formal attire. The wedding ceremony will soon begin."

Xu Taiping jumped up from the bed like a carp, snapped his fingers and said, "Okay!"

The sun came in through the window.

The sun was shining brightly. This was a great day for marriage! Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
