Chapter 215 - Recklessness
There was still some time until dinner, so the old man brought Tao Chu Liang upstairs with him. Chen Shu and Sheng Jue followed behind. Tao Chu Liang carefully held on to the armrest, afraid that he would miss a step.
Although it had been many years since Xiang Shi Yun had come back to this house, there were still many things related to the clan inside. Entering the study room, only then did Tao Chu Liang realize that it was filled with their family's photos that filled the entire room.
Inside, Tao Chu Liang even saw Chen Xi's father, who was also a very handsome man.
"Chen Shu, although you and Chen Xi have become very obedient now. But I know you hate me. "Sometimes, I also hate myself, because it's me who forced my only son to death …" The reason why Xiang Shi Yun liked to stay in this study room for a long time was because there were many family memories inside.
"Grandfather, it's all in the past now. Why did you suddenly start talking about this?" Chen Shu was startled.
"Chu Liang, I don't know if Chen Xi told you about this or not. But I really don't want this kind of tragedy to happen again, I was unable to figure it out a while ago. I think that girl Li Li has been rolling around in the business world since young, and she will definitely be able to take care of more things for Chen Xi.
Tao Chu Liang listened silently. She knew that the old man did not always put the group's interests at heart. He only felt that Li Li could make Chen Xi feel a little more relaxed.
"But I now understand that sometimes ability is not the most important thing. Even if she could help Chen Xi with the development of the guild. However, if a person had a moral deviation, then it was useless no matter how high his ability was. In comparison, you are kind, you are real, and you have talent that I have not yet discovered. "
"Grandfather, you praise it too much." Tao Chu Liang didn't really understand why Xiang Shi Yun would suddenly say all these.
"No, I'm just telling the truth. Chu Liang, I know that you and Li Li both love Chen Xi, but she only thinks about how to take over Chen Xi, and you only think about what's good for Chen Xi. If I hand Chen Xi over to you, I will truly be at ease. " Xiang Shi Yun turned around and held Tao Chu Liang's hand.
This was the first time Xiang Shi Yun treated her so kindly. She had never enjoyed the warmth from her grandparents before. At this moment, she truly felt that this place was like her home. However, there was nothing she could do.
"What I mean is, you and Chen Xi, get married right now! "You are so clever, how could you not understand?" Xiang Shi Yun immediately said his last sentence.
Tao Chu Liang's footsteps paused as he looked at Xiang Shi Yun. A month ago, this old man was still against her and Chen Xi's marriage, but now, she could see recognition in his eyes! And the look was so sincere!
She almost blurted out, "Thank you for helping me." However, the words that came out of her mouth were: "Grandfather, I can't, I can't marry Chen Xi!"
Behind him, Chen Shu and Sheng Jue seemed to have long predicted that Tao Chu Liang would say this, and both of them shook their heads.
"Why? Do you think this old man can't see it? You obviously like our kid! Back then, you guys challenged me in front of me and said that no matter what happened, you wouldn't be separated from Chen Xi. Xiang Shi Yun never thought that after doing so much thinking for Tao Chu Liang and raising the matter of their marriage with her, she would actually reject it!
"Little girl!" "Just why are you …" Xiang Shi Yun had not finished speaking when the butler came to interrupt them.
"Master, it's time to eat! It's all ready! " The butler shouted from outside the study.
Xiang Shi Yun looked at the door, then looked at Tao Chu Liang. She still had that stubborn look on his face, and he thought to himself, This is really similar to Xiang Chen Xi! Xiang Shi Yun sighed and said: "Forget it, let's eat first."
Down the stairs, Tao Chu Liang saw from afar that the servants had already prepared the dishes at the table. Many dishes were already placed on the table, but due to the eyes, Tao Chu Liang wasn't able to see them clearly.
But when she sat down at the dining table, Tao Chu Liang was stunned.
The table was full of dishes that he liked. There were Japanese dishes, French dishes, Italian dishes, Korean dishes … had specially brought her to eat these dishes in the past, who knew that he would remember them all!
Tao Chu Liang looked at the sumptuous table, and felt his heart fill up, stuffed to the point of being panicked. He was so good, yet he was still so lucky to have him. But one day, when he was blind and could no longer see anything, would he still be like this? Even more cruel was that his own illness was truly life-threatening. At that time, if he fell in love with an outstanding woman again, would he do all of this for her?
Tao Chu Liang's tears almost fell, but she held them back. Because, Xiang Chen Xi had walked over. Xiang Chen Xi was still wearing the chef's uniform with some oil on his body, but he couldn't wait any longer. He couldn't wait to see Chu Liang, so he didn't even have time to change his clothes.
"Chef, are you trying to bring back all the delicious food in the world!?" Sheng Jue joked.
Xiang Chen Xi didn't care about Sheng Jue at all, his eyes only stared at Chu Liang. He nervously took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, then sat beside Tao Chu Liang and said gently, "Chu Liang, you're here … Today, I cooked a lot of food. This is the first time I've cooked something like this, so you can try and see if it's good or not. If it's good, I'll send it home to you everyday ever since I've made it. "
Xiang Chen Xi's eyes were so gentle that it seemed as if it could melt water, completely ignoring the people around him.
"Haha!" Girl, you really have a mouth. I've lived for over seventy years and he hasn't cooked any dishes for me to eat. Today, with your arrival, I've already turned into a dining room! " Seeing the two of them like this, Xiang Shi Yun could not help but ask happily.
"Chu Liang, this is the new pizza that I've learned, we've eaten once. You kept saying you wanted to eat it, so try it." Xiang Chen Xi forked a piece of fruit for Tao Chu Liang.
However, Tao Chu Liang's next action made everyone's smile freeze. Tao Chu Liang picked up the chopsticks, and even placed the pizza Xiang Chen Xi gave her into his bowl. She said coldly: "I don't want to eat pizza today."
Xiang Chen Xi was startled, he looked at the small piece of pizza in his bowl. He had spent a long time roasting it, but she was unwilling to taste it. He looked at Tao Chu Liang's profile, but Tao Chu Liang remained expressionless.
Tao Chu Liang raised his wine cup and said to Xiang Shi Yun: "Grandfather, I am glad that you invited me here today, and thank you for recognizing me, and I wish you good health!" Tao Chu Liang raised his head and drank the wine.
Xiang Shi Yun also picked up her wine cup, and laughed: "I still have to thank you, for this period of time, the group has been all thanks to you! I want to apologize to you, too. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that before. "
Tao Chu Liang said: "Grandfather, it's all in the past, there's no need to mention it."
Everyone clinked their glasses together and gulped down the red wine in it.
Chen Shu sat on the left side of Tao Chu Liang. She didn't want Xiang Chen Xi's table to be wasted, so she gave him some food and said: "Chu Liang, I think this taste is pretty good. Try it."
Chen Shu helped herself to the dish, of course, Tao Chu Liang had a hard time with it, she started to eat. Xiang Chen Xi felt even more upset. It was clear to see that Chu Liang was not accepting him. However, he was happy to see that Chu Liang could eat. At least, she ate it, didn't she?
"Chu Liang, Grandfather still said the same words just now. You and Chen Xi, I saw everything clearly. When did you come to an understanding that you are willing to marry Chen Xi? This grandfather will immediately arrange it for you all … " Xiang Shi Yun was still talking.
"Grandfather!" Tao Chu Liang suddenly put down the cutlery in her hands. Her attitude suddenly changed completely from when Xiang Chen Xi was not there just now, "Grandfather, I heard that you recovered from your illness and came today. As for me, I have nothing to do with Chen Xi. I've said it before, there won't be any more possibility for me and Chen Xi. If you still want to continue, Chu Liang can only leave. "
"When I first loved Chen Xi, you didn't agree. Now that I'm not in love, you're going to try to get us together again. I don't know, what exactly do you mean? " Tao Chu Liang purposely said those harsh words.
Xiang Shi Yun was stunned, he did not understand why Tao Chu Liang was talking to her in such a good manner just now, and why his tone of voice had changed so quickly.
Tao Chu Liang turned around and looked at Xiang Chen Xi who was beside his. She hid the sadness in her heart well, and said coldly: "What? Did you only know me today? I've always been like this. Do you think I'm unreasonable? "
Xiang Chen Xi stared at her blankly. Was the person in front of him still the Tao Chu Liang he knew? He said with great difficulty: "Yes, you have changed. The former Tao Chu Liang would never have gotten angry at me for no reason, and he would never have vented his anger on my family! At this moment, you seem to be very uncultured! "
Xiang Chen Xi's every word was like needles stabbing Tao Chu Liang's heart. She stood up and laughed: "That's right, this is my true appearance. Now that you've seen it, are you going to die? You guys can take your time with this meal. " After Tao Chu Liang finished speaking, he got up and left.
"Chen Xi! You shouldn't have said that to Chu Liang! " Chen Shu chided, then chased after him. Chu Liang's eyes were not good, if something happened to them, it would be bad.
