Mr. Tao looked at Tan Song contemptuously and moved half a meter to the side without batting an eyelid. Then, he said, “I hate it when people joke around.”
Tan Song smiled apologetically. “Brother Tao, I really didn’t mean it that way. Besides, I said those things for the sake of your daughter’s birthday party. What if some shady people sneak in and threaten her here?”
“There are indeed some shady people who have mixed in.” Tao Zhen’s mother walked up and questioned Tao Zhen, “Tao Zhen, what are you doing here? Why did you let these people in?” She glanced at the Tan father and daughter and Zhao Ru. Tan Jing and Zhao Ru’s faces turned pale.
Tao Zhen said, “I’m sorry, Madam. We didn’t do our job well.”
“This is all misunderstanding. It really is.” Tan Song’s intestines turned green with regret. “Can we sit down and talk about it?”
“Why? Do you still want your good daughter to marry into our family?”Tao mother asked with a faint smile.
Tan Song acted as if he didn’t hear what was being said. He smiled and said, “That’s a good relationship! Our Jingjing has lived in your house before and has a good relationship with her brothers. If our children get married, our families would then be even closer.”
Tan Jing looked at Tao Zhi. If they would get engaged, she was inclined to choose Tao Zhi. Firstly, Tao Zhi was handsome. Secondly, Tao Zhi was more educated. He was much better than Tao Zheng. Besides, Tao Zhi wasn’t as hostile to her as Tao Zheng. It wouldn’t be too bad if they could live together in the future.
“Then do you think the eldest or second son is more suitable?” Father Tao asked.
This question stunned everyone present. Weren’t these two families on bad terms? Why did the Tao family still want to marry into the Tan family? Could it be that Tan Song’s anger blinded him?
Tan Song thought about it seriously. Since ancient times, there had been an order of seniority. In a large family like the Tao family in the capital, the eldest son would definitely inherit the family business in the future, so he felt that it was more suitable for his daughter to marry the eldest son, Tao Zhi.
“It’s said that older men are better at doting on others. Moreover, Jingjing likes Eldest Brother too, so it would be better for them to be together.” Tan Song said with a smile.
Tao Zhi was still laughing earlier but now he couldn’t laugh anymore. Why did this mess involve him?
“Oh, my eldest?” Mother Tao looked at Tao Zhi with a smile. “What do you think?”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Tao Zhi. Tao Zhi wanted to find a board to block himself.
Zhao Ru was unhappy about this instead. Tao Zhi was the one she had her eyes on. How could Tan Jing compete with her?
“I refuse.” Tao Zhi’s tone was very cold. “I will never marry Tan Jing.”
Tan Jing frowned. If Tao Zhi wasn’t willing to marry her, she could only marry Tao Zheng. Although Tao Zheng wasn’t as good-looking and capable as Tao Zhi, he was still the second son of the Tao family. He would definitely get a lot of property in the future, which was not too bad.
“Second Young Master it is then!” Although Tan Song was inclined to choose Tao Zhi, since Tao Zhi didn’t have the intention, he could only choose Tao Zheng.
Coincidentally, Tao Zheng came out from behind, so Tao Zhi simply recounted what had just happened to his younger brother. Tao Zheng regretted not staying in the back room to accompany Tan Rou.
“Second brother, what do you think?” Tao Zhi asked gloatingly.
Tao Zheng said, “Why give me a woman you don’t want?”He walked to Tao Zhi’s side and said, “Big Brother, you’re not married yet. Why should I?”
Father Tao said regretfully, “Well, this is embarra.s.sing. None of our sons want her.”
“Since that’s the case, President Tan’s good daughter shall return the way she came. “Your daughter has always been third in her grade. She’s proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Our sons are not worthy of you.”She was mocking Tan Song for introducing his outstanding daughter to others.
Tan Song’s face instantly fell. “What do you mean?”
“Well, a marriage requires the consent of both parties. If your daughter wants them but our sons refuse, there shall be no marriage. We have made ourselves very clear, our children doesn’t want to marry your daughter.”
Tan Song was angry, but he could not say it directly. Since the Tao family’s eldest and second were unwilling, and their third child was a girl, only the youngest one was left..
