"Grandma, who is this?"
Just at that mont, Luo Zitong ca out of the bathroom and saw a bald middle-aged man in the room. She asked subconsciously.
"This is President Tao of Tao’s Comrce Guild."
Old Lady Luo hurriedly introduced, "President Tao, this is my granddaughter, Luo Zitong."
"Oh?"
Tao Pinggui turned his head and glanced at Luo Zitong.
At this ti, Luo Zitong, feeling desperate, had just co from crying in the bathroom. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes still held glistening tears, presenting a pitiable sight.
Bang bang!
Seeing Luo Zitong’s appearance, Tao Pinggui’s heart thudded violently.
So similar! Far too similar!
This girl’s looks were incredibly reminiscent of his first love, especially with tears on her face. She almost seed indistinguishable from the girl who had once lain in his arms years ago.
However, it was a pity that his first love, after being cheated on by him, made the resolute choice to jump off a building, which had beco a lasting regret in Tao Pinggui’s heart.
Feeling Tao Pinggui’s intense gaze fixed on her, teeming with apparent affection, Luo Zitong instinctively took two steps back.
"President Tao? President Tao?"
Seeing Tao Pinggui had not spoken for quite so ti, Old Lady Luo couldn’t help but remind him.
After several calls, Tao Pinggui finally snapped back to reality and withdrew his greedy gaze, "Oh, oh... Old Lady Luo, your granddaughter is indeed very beautiful and graceful."
To be honest, Luo Zitong was indeed quite attractive. Although she didn’t quite asure up to Luo Ning, she was still above average. Most importantly, her features resembled Tao Pinggui’s first love so closely. And having just cried, she imdiately ignited the protective and caring feelings Tao Pinggui had for his first love.
Old Lady Luo, seeing Tao Pinggui’s look, instantly realized that President Tao had taken an interest in her granddaughter. Her eyes rolled with cunning as she said to Luo Zitong, "Zi Tong, go sit next to President Tao and serve him tea and water."
"Grandma, I..."
Luo Zitong, who had clearly felt Tao Pinggui’s predatory eyes, began to shake her head, wanting to refuse, but suddenly soone pushed her from behind. A voice near her ear said, "Zi Tong, listen to Mom, hurry and go."
"This man is the head of Tao’s Comrce Guild, the Tao Family, even more powerful than the Tang Family. If we connect with him, our family will soar!"
Luo Zitong still resisted, "But..."
"It’s not like I’m asking you to sleep with him, what’s there to fuss about," Chen Guihua whispered, "Just sit by his side and let him take so small liberties. n are like that; give them a little incentive, and you’ll hook them easily."
"Ugh."
Luo Zitong had no choice but to nod slightly, then walked in front of Tao Pinggui and forced a smile, "President Tao, hello, I’ll pour you so tea."
"Miss Zi Tong is too courteous."
Tao Pinggui promptly stood up, but his eyes couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Luo Zitong’s chest, unabashedly admiring the view.
He had truly taken a liking to Luo Zitong.
Over the years, he had been with nurous won, from college students to married won; he had tasted them all. However, after each quick fling, he felt nothing but a dull aftertaste, never finding the sa joy he had in his youth.
As for his wife, he had long lost interest. She had tacitly consented, as long as he didn’t bring any won ho, he was free to do as he pleased.
But Luo Zitong was different. Her looks, figure, and deanor strongly resembled his first love, Zhang Cheng. Spending ti and talking with her felt like chatting with his first love, giving Tao Pinggui the illusion of returning to the past.
Tao Pinggui swiftly made a move to pick up the teacup, seemingly accidentally, or perhaps deliberately, brushing against Luo Zitong’s smooth and tender hand, "Miss Zi Tong, be careful with the boiling water, let do it. If I scald your fair hands, I would be a sinner."
As he spoke, his fingers couldn’t resist tracing circles on the back of Luo Zitong’s hand.
"President Tao... What were you discussing just now?"
Like touching a live wire, Luo Zitong quickly withdrew her hand and changed the subject, "I thought I heard you ntion Mo Han, do you know him?"
"I don’t know him."
Upon ntioning serious matters, Tao Pinggui’s expression shifted slightly, his eyes flickered with a glint of coldness, and he spoke slowly, "However, he has disrupted several of the Tao Family’s plans."
"Miss Zi Tong, what do you think of this person?"
"I wish I could kill him!"
Luo Zitong was still young and had blurted out her thoughts before she could confirm Tao Pinggui’s relationship with Mo Han, "If not for this bastard, how could our Luo Family end up like this!"
"The Shengtian Group contract should have been clinched by my brother and , but this jerk screwed it up and even got my brother blacklisted by Shengtian Group!"
"And on the night Grandma hosted a banquet to announce my brother as Luo Group’s general manager, it was he who stepped forward to question Grandma, triggering Shengtian Group’s Ling Yuzhu to speak up and replace my brother!"
"Events like these add up to seven or eight at least, if he hadn’t ddled with our Luo Family, how could we have gone bankrupt!"
This tirade was nothing more than twisting the truth and making baseless accusations. From the beginning, it was Old Lady Luo and Luo Yuantu who had been setting traps for Luo Ning for the sake of the family’s interests.
If Mo Han hadn’t been there to counter each move, Luo Ning would have been swallowed up without a trace.
