Chapter 101 Tao Wuji is a Smiling Tiger

Xia Shengsheng accepted more than ten boxes of gold and silver in a daze.

Looking at Mr. Tao who was sitting at the table, eating voraciously just like Tao Siyuan.

Xia Shengsheng was a little suspicious, wondering if Mr. Tao had saved all the money he saved on food and exchanged it all for gold and silver to repay her.

Otherwise, why would I be like a starving ghost now?

Didn’t you say you had breakfast?

"Dad, let me tell you! Auntie's cooking is really delicious. There are many things you must have never eaten in all these years of traveling around the country, right?" Tao Siyuan talked to Master Tao while eating.

On the third day after Tao Siyuan arrived at Xia Shengsheng's house, he received a carrier pigeon from Master Tao.

This carrier pigeon is particularly psychic. Tao Siyuan raised it since it was a child, but he did not take it with him when he left home.

This is a perfect opportunity for Mr. Tao and his son to deliver the message.

After a few days, the two of them interacted with each other and got to know each other's recent situation.

Every time Tao Siyuan received a carrier pigeon or released it, it was when Xia Shengsheng was not at home, so Xia Shengsheng never noticed.

Mr. Tao was slurping his spicy and sour noodles. The noodles were particularly chewy and tough, and mixed with crushed peanuts and chili oil, which made his mouth feel numb and particularly mellow. This feeling was indeed something he had never tasted before.

"Yep!"

Xia Shengsheng looked at Ye Chao and Er Cheng who were still in a daze.

Hurry up and urge them both to go to school.

"You two should leave now that you're done eating! We're running out of time."

Tao Wuji hadn't even swallowed the noodles yet, and he was still holding the chopsticks and waving his hands repeatedly.

"Where are you going? Let my carriage take you there. I promise not to delay anything."

Ye Chao and Er Cheng thanked Tao Wuji, packed up their things and ran to the town.

They both still prefer to exercise.

Riding in a horse-drawn carriage? That's too ostentatious!

After eating and drinking, Tao Wuji sat there drinking tea, hesitating.

Seeing Tao Wuji so awkward, Xia Shengsheng thought about the matter of Tao Siyuan being hunted and wanted to ask how it was resolved?

In fact, Xia Shengsheng didn’t want to know about the past. What she wanted to know most was whether her family would be in danger in the future because of saving Tao Siyuan.

If that were the case, Xia Shengsheng might have to prepare to move.

After all, she wasn't going to take risks with a couple of kids!

"Madam Xia, please rest assured. I swear on my Tao family's century-old foundation that there will never be any danger that can disturb Madam Xia and your family. I have already resolved this matter satisfactorily..."

It turned out that this incident was mainly caused by one of Tao Wuji's concubines.

Tao Siyuan's mother was Tao Wuji's wife, Jin, who died when Tao Siyuan was six years old.

As for this concubine, Aunt Li, she was Jin's personal maid who was brought into the concubine's room before she passed away, so that she could take care of Tao Wuji and Tao Siyuan more easily in the future.

Tao Wuji was quite devoted to matters between men and women, but because it was Jin's last wish, he treated Aunt Li very well after Jin's death.

In order to prevent Tao Siyuan and Aunt Li from suffering, he never remarried.

Aunt Li has taken good care of Tao Siyuan over the years and has never made any mistakes.

But a few months ago, everything changed.

Aunt Li had been with Tao Wuji for decades without having any children. Unexpectedly, when she was nearly 30, she suddenly became pregnant.

Ever since she became pregnant, Aunt Li's temperament seemed to have changed drastically.

When Tao Wuji wasn't looking, he often made trouble for Tao Siyuan.

Tao Siyuan had never told Tao Wuji about this matter because he remembered the friendship they had maintained over the years.

Unexpectedly, Tao Wuji had just received a message saying that his business in the south had been disrupted and he needed to go there urgently to deal with it.

I originally wanted to take Tao Siyuan with me, but Aunt Li kept Tao Siyuan for various reasons.

After Tao Wuji left, in order to get all the property of the Tao family, someone tricked Tao Siyuan away.

He also hired two assassins with great martial arts skills to kill Tao Siyuan and make way for her child.

Fortunately, although Tao Wuji has always been nice to Aunt Li over the years, he has not been completely sincere to her.

The family's money has always been managed personally by Tao Wuji.

Aunt Li couldn't afford that much silver, so she only paid the killers 1/3 of the money, which led to the two killers having a backup plan.

Not long after Tao Wuji left home, he felt that something was going to happen at home, perhaps due to some telepathic connection.

So he ignored the business in the south and headed back after walking less than half the distance.

When I returned home, it was the second day after Tao Siyuan was murdered.

Realizing that something was wrong, he immediately detained Aunt Li.

Tao Wuji has been doing business for so many years, traveling all over the country and experiencing countless ups and downs.

How could a mere woman in a secluded house hide this from him?

Soon, detailed information about Aunt Li, the servants in the mansion who were in collusion with her, and the two killers were found out.

Those two killers didn't act alone.

The two of them are members of a killer organization in the underworld.

Tao Wuji had dealt with this killer organization before.

This time, the two killers took on a private job.

Otherwise, Tao Wuji would not be unaware of it.

Therefore, after the two killers knew that the matter was exposed, they had not yet had time to return to take Tao Siyuan hostage, and were already controlled by Tao Wuji and their killer organization.

Violating the organization's regulations will definitely lead to death.

But Tao Wuji did spend half of his family fortune on this.

According to Tao Wuji, Aunt Li and her unborn baby had disappeared due to the servants' negligent supervision.

But Xia Shengsheng felt that Tao Wuji was just a smiling tiger.

Don't be fooled by his politeness to you on the surface, he is actually quite cruel and ruthless.

Aunt Li and her son should have disappeared from this world.

Xia Shengsheng did not feel any sympathy for Aunt Li, but only felt pity for the unborn child.

He had never even seen this world, but he had already paid the price for the wrong things his mother had done.

"I am ashamed to say that these things at home may pollute Madam Xia's ears, so it is better not to listen to them!

But there is one thing that is a little hard to talk about! "

Xia Shengsheng: It's really hard to start talking, so why bother leaving this half-finished sentence?

Although he thought so in his heart, he still had a smile on his face. He tried his best not to offend this rich and powerful smiling tiger.

"Master Tao, please go ahead."

After Tao Wuji heard this, he started talking incessantly.

It turned out that Tao Wuji was hesitant just now because he wanted to ask about the vermicelli and chili peppers.

But I was afraid that Xia Shengsheng would not want to say it.

However, relying on the businessmen's instinctive sense, these two things will surely become popular all over the country in the future.

If, Tao Wuji could do this business.

That would bring a lot of money into the pockets of the Tao family.

What about the lost half of the property?

I will definitely be able to earn it back within three to five years.

Xia Shengsheng originally wanted to sell vermicelli, but he couldn't find a way after going to the provincial capital several times.

I want to spread the chili peppers even more. If possible, I would like to let the villagers grow them together and earn money together. If there is more money, in the future, if we really face a disaster, we can stick together and keep each other warm.

So he introduced these two new foods to Tao Wuji without reservation.

Xia Shengsheng knew that since Tao Wuji had asked, it meant that he knew the value of these two things, so she would definitely have no trouble selling her things.

Now the question is, let's talk about the price and exclusivity.
