Chapter 95 Tao Family Birthday Banquet (6)
Xie gently patted the other person's back and softly comforted them, "It's alright, it's alright, don't cry. Look, I'm perfectly fine."
After saying that, he slowly reached out and pushed Tao Tao away slightly, then put his hands on the other person's shoulders and asked with a serious expression, "Tell me first, what happened that brought you here?"
Tao Tao's eyes were red, and there were still tear stains on her cheeks.
He sniffed softly and said in a low voice, "I stepped on a banana peel and then bumped my head on the stairs."
Xie Qing was taken aback. "What did you say?"
Tao Tao explained in more detail this time, her tone full of grievance.
"When I heard that you were in a car accident and died on the spot, I was completely stunned."
I was in a hurry to get downstairs when someone threw a banana peel on the stairs, and I accidentally stepped on it…
His face was puffed up with anger, and he muttered under his breath, scolding the rude guy who littered the banana peel.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qing felt as if she were about to have a heart attack.
Before this, he even wondered if he had made too many enemies, which led to the misfortune that befell his assistant Tao Tao.
He even considered conspiracy theories, only to be told it was all because of a banana peel.
Xie Qing: ......
Tao Tao was just muttering under his breath, cursing the rude person who littered the banana peel.
He seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes brightened, and his tone was full of anticipation.
"Brother Qing, can I still be your assistant?"
Xie Qing snapped out of her thoughts, shook her head at him, and refused.
"No."
Before Tao Tao could ask why, Xie Qing slowly said, "Tao Tao, you've done enough for me. Your life shouldn't revolve solely around me. Didn't you say you wanted to open a cake shop? Live your life again, and do what you truly love."
Indeed, Tao Tao mentioned by chance in her past life that she wanted to open a cake shop and be her own boss.
But as time went by, he himself forgot about it, but Xie Qing still remembered.
Tao Tao looked at Xie Qing with teary eyes, "Brother Qing, do you really think I can do this?"
Xie Qing patted the other's fluffy head and smiled, "Yes, I have high hopes for you."
Tao Tao's face instantly lit up with a smile, and he felt a surge of energy.
Xie Qing smiled, but when she thought about the fate of Tao Tao in the original book, she couldn't help but frown.
He asked Tao Tao, "How much of the original owner's memories do you still remember?"
Tao Tao shook her head. "I have no memories of the original owner, and I don't know what he did before."
Xie Qing was taken aback for a second, but quickly came to her senses. "Never mind, if it's not true, it's not true. Tao Tao, you just need to remember one thing: stay away from people named Xiao Chen."
Tao Tao had heard this name from his older sister before; that's what she told him back then.
He couldn't help but ask, "Is that person dangerous?"
Xie nodded lightly, "Mm."
This is especially a huge danger for Tao Tao right now.
Tao Tao frowned and nodded seriously, "I understand, I will definitely stay far away from Xiao Chen."
Xie Qing nodded in satisfaction, then realized they had been out for a while and hurriedly pulled Tao Tao back.
If we don't go back soon, Huo Yunting will come looking for us.
On the way back, Tao Tao asked curiously, "Brother Qing, did the man who came with you really marry you?"
Xie nodded, a sweet smile playing on her lips. "Yes, he is my husband."
Tao Tao was somewhat surprised to see his brother Qing smile like that for the first time.
"Brother Qing, do you like him a lot?"
"Yes!"
Xie gently patted his head and said, "You will meet someone you like in the future."
To everyone's surprise, after he said that, Tao Tao's face suddenly turned red, like a monkey's bottom.
Xie Qing put her arm around Tao Tao's shoulder and teased, "Looks like our Tao Tao already has someone she likes."
Tao Tao blushed and said somewhat shyly, "His name is Yi Chen, and he's my boyfriend."
Xie Qing was afraid that he would be deceived by others, so she asked him, "If you have time, can you bring the person out to meet us? Just have a meal together."
Tao Tao smiled shyly and nodded.
Just as the two were passing by the swimming pool in the backyard of the villa, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bumped into Xie Qing's shoulder from behind.
The man staggered, clearly very drunk, and reeked of alcohol.
After hitting the person, instead of showing any remorse, he turned red in the face and started cursing at Xie Qing.
"Are you blind? How dare you hit me!"
The arrogant and indistinct words sounded particularly jarring in the quiet backyard.
Tao Tao was startled by the other party's loud voice, but then he saw that the other party was the one who was making false accusations.
He mustered his courage to retort, "You were the one who hit him, how can you... how can you make false accusations?"
Drunk, Wu Zhi ignored Tao Tao's words.
After getting a clear look at Xie Qing's appearance, he stared intently at her, scrutinizing her from head to toe with lust in his eyes.
"You...you stay with me for one night, and I won't hold it against you." He hiccuped, grinning lewdly.
Not long after Wu Zhi arrived at the banquet, he strolled leisurely to the backyard, which made him completely unaware of who the two people in front of him were.
Now, his mind is clouded by alcohol, and he says whatever comes to mind without any restraint.
A cold glint flashed in Xie Qing's eyes, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. "Is that so?"
Wu Zhi was completely captivated by his smile and was about to reach out to touch Xie Qing's face.
However, the next second, Wu Zhi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and the sudden pain made his eyes widen instantly.
But before he could figure out what was going on, he staggered backward uncontrollably.
Immediately afterwards, a dull "plop" echoed through the backyard—Wu Zhi had been lightly kicked into the swimming pool by Xie.
Xie Qing indifferently withdrew her foot and said to Tao Tao, "Let's go, let's go back."
Tao Tao nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and followed Xie Qing back to the banquet.
As soon as the two stepped into the banquet hall, they heard a series of cursing and swearing coming from behind them.
Turning around, I saw Wu Zhi, soaking wet, chasing after me.
He looked disheveled, with water droplets constantly dripping from his body, forming a small water stain on the ground.
Wu Zhi hurriedly caught up, blocking Xie Qing's path.
His teeth chattered uncontrollably, and his whole body trembled like a leaf, whether from the cold or from anger, it was hard to tell.
"You...you stop right there!"
Wu Zhi's lips trembled as he managed to squeeze out these words.
The surrounding guests, seeing this unexpected scene, immediately became interested and stopped in their tracks to watch the spectacle with great interest.
"You...you actually dared to kick me!"
He widened his eyes and raised his hand, ready to teach Xie Qing a lesson.
Xie Qing reacted extremely quickly, nimbly dodging the slap that was about to fall.
Wu Zhi, already burning with anger, went too far.
Instead of hitting anyone, he lost his balance, slipped, and fell heavily to the ground with a thud.
