Chapter 633: 633 Qingyue’s Friend 2
“Hehe.” She withdrew her hand. She was a bit surprised by Miss Tao’s enthusiasm.
“Ordinary won never leave their hos, let alone their yards. They are all delicate and weak.” Said Tao ijiao, “But I think your spirit is comparable to that of a man. I really admire you!”
“The Tao Mansion is a well-known great landlord in town.” said Su Qingyue, “I have also inquired about you. With a massive family business, and Master Tao’s poor health, you, a woman, have been holding up the Tao family alone.”
“Exactly.” Tao ijiao nodded and said sadly, “I originally had an elder brother. He was killed by mountain thieves while on a trip to procure goods. My Mom couldn’t bear the bad news, and she fell ill and passed away. My brother and Mom passed away one after another, and my father couldn’t take the blow and has been bedridden ever since. I was also ill for a while, but the Tao family can’t just fall apart like this. I have to be strong, take over the Tao family business, and take care of my father…” She forced a smile, “Let’s not talk about these sad things.”
Su Qingyue looked at Tao ijiao with a touch of admiration in her eyes, “You are right to be strong and not wallow in grief. That’s the correct approach.”
“Yes.” Tao ijiao stared at Su Qingyue’s veil and recalled the scabs on her face last ti they t, “Qingyue, are you afraid that your injury will scare ? No worries, take off the veil.”
She shook her head, “There is another reason.”
“Wearing a veil might be uncomfortable for you…” She reached out to pull it off.
Qingyue felt that this woman had a lively temperant, “Just let keep it on.”
Tao ijiao withdrew her hand, “Alright then.” She then boldly took Qingyue’s hand, “I originally wanted to go to Wushan Village to find you, but I had just recovered from an illness. I feel better today.”
Su Qingyue glanced at her slightly pale face and nodded, “Miss Tao, you should take care of your health.”
“Su Qingyue, I feel a strong connection with you, and I really like you.” she said, “How about we beco sisters?”
“Well…”
“I know I’m being a bit abrupt.” she said excitedly, “But I genuinely like you. I’ve never seen a woman who can fight like you and isn’t greedy.”
Su Qingyue laughed, “How can you tell that I’m not greedy?”
She smiled and said, “If you were greedy, you wouldn’t have returned my moneybag. Moreover, I rember… you also returned Jin Xun’s moneybag.”
Qingyue raised an eyebrow, “Miss Tao, do you recognize Jin Xun’s moneybag?”
“Once at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, I saw him carrying that moneybag. There was an ‘Xun’ character on it.” Tao ijiao thought for a mont, “It seed that there was also a line of poetry on his moneybag, but I didn’t see it clearly.”
“Miss Tao, you have quite keen observation skills,” said Su Qingyue with a smile. “Could it be that you are attracted to Jin Xun?”
Tao ijiao waved her hand nonchalantly, “I won’t deny that Jin Xun is good-looking, but he is not soone to be trifled with. Although the Tao Mansion has so wealth, it is far inferior compared to Jin Xun. I have no intention of climbing socially. Besides, since the Tao family has no sons now, if I were to get married, it would cut off the Tao family’s ancestral line. A woman who marries cannot show her face in public anymore. I want to continue managing the Tao family business after getting married and also want the Tao family’s ancestral line to continue, so I have no choice but to accept a son-in-law. Jin Xun is certainly not the type to beco a son-in-law, so I don’t bother to think more about it.”
