After old Madam Tao finished speaking, Olivia Li said, "As far as I know, Xiaotian Group is now called Xuri Group?"

"Xuri Group?"

old Madam Tao frowned, looked at Olivia Li and asked, "Olivia, is your news reliable?"

"Reliable!"Olivia Li said firmly.

old Madam Tao said: "No matter what it is called, you must seize this opportunity for cooperation. I will look at your overall performance and redistribute the shareholding ratio of Tao Family Property to you."

One heard that it involves "money" and one's own interests. Everyone rushed to show off their abilities to old Madam Tao.

The boss, Marcus Tao, said: "Mom! Shall I go talk to Vice President Han of Xuri Group about cooperation?"

Aria Tao, the third child, also rushed to say: "My son-in-law is from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Let him talk to their director and see if we can talk to the Xuri Group?"

Mark Tao, the fourth child, said: "Mom, I have a good relationship with several senior executives of Xuri Group, and I will go do some work again."

Only Grace Tao family is left.

Grace Tao was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. If her family did not participate in this project, then when old Madam Tao passes away and returns to the West, she will not get much of the family property. It's okay that her husband's family is in poverty, but the person her daughter married is still a loser, completely unworthy of her reputation.

Just when Grace Tao didn't know what to do, Earl Yuan said: "Vice President Han of Xuri Group is my brother's classmate. I can ask my brother to come forward and do the work!"

When Grace Tao heard this, he was immediately elated. Earl Yuan really makes himself look good! It would be great if he were his son-in-law.

She glanced at her third sister, Aria Tao, showing off, and said with a smile, "Mom! Don't worry if a classmate like Olivia comes to take action!"

old Madam Tao said "Yeah!" and said, "I hope you won't disappoint me! If we lose the big tree of Xuri Group, the foundation created by your father will be destroyed in our hands."

Olivia Li originally wanted to say that Aaron Zhao was the driver of Baird Chen , general manager of the " Xuri Group ". Seeing that he was sitting next to him, just lowering his head to eat food, and seemed not interested in the matter, so he didn't say anything about it. It was strange in my heart that Aaron Zhao had such a great opportunity to impress everyone in the Tao Family, but he was indifferent.

old Madam Tao said: "Okay! Since you all have something to do, it depends on your performance. Let's all eat!"

During the meal, old Madam Tao asked Olivia Li: "Olivia! How is your lawsuit?"

"It's okay! I've already paid back all the money I owed."

"Did you borrow the money?"

"Borrowed it!"

old Madam Tao glanced at Grace Tao . It was Grace Tao 's idea when she asked everyone not to lend money to Olivia Li .

Grace Tao wanted to use this incident to force Olivia Li and Aaron Zhao to divorce, but his plan failed.

Grace Tao already knew that it was Aaron Zhao who borrowed money from outside to pay off Olivia Li debt. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Xu coldly and asked: "Aaron Zhao, let me ask you, where did you borrow the money?"

"From a friend."

"friend?"

After hearing this, Grace Tao sneered and said, "Aaron Zhao, apart from that big fool named Ian Nong, I can be called your friend. Where else do you have friends?"

Olivia Li defended Aaron Zhao and said, "Mom! Who doesn't have a few friends anymore?"

"Olivia, which friend can lend Aaron Zhao one million at a time. Don't wait until this guy sells you, and you still count the money for him."

"Mom! You don't have to worry about my affairs."

"you!......"

Grace Tao was so angry that his eldest daughter was too stubborn! It’s true that women are not allowed to stay in college. She was so angry that she said to her youngest daughter Amelia Li: "Amelia, you have to keep your eyes peeled when looking for a boyfriend in the future. Don't follow your sister's example and find a useless husband like this."

"Mom! Grandpa made the decision about my sister's marriage during his lifetime. You and dad agreed at the time, so how can you blame my sister?"

"Your grandpa knew a lot of great people during his lifetime. Who knew that old guy..."Grace Tao glanced at her husband Nathan Li, sighed and said, "I just wanted your grandpa to fulfill his long-cherished wish during his lifetime. Who knew your sister would be pregnant so soon."

Aaron Zhao looked like he was in a state of indifference. No matter what you said about him, it was as if the matter had nothing to do with him and he was hanging on high. He was basically in a state of self-isolation.

Grace Tao became more and more angry when he saw Aaron Zhao.

Earl Yuan said half-jokingly: "I went abroad at that time, and I didn't expect Olivia to get married so early."

"Yes! Earl Yuan, you are the best match for our Olivia."Grace Tao's smiling eyes narrowed into slits.

Emma said in a childish voice: "Don't talk about my dad like that, he will be sad. Besides, in my heart, my mom and my dad are a perfect match."

"Emma, you are still young and don't understand adults' things yet."

"I'm not young anymore. I'll be five years old after my birthday!" After finishing speaking, Emma yawned.

Emma's words made everyone at the table laugh.

Aaron Zhao felt that attending the family dinner here was a waste of time. Said to his wife Olivia Li: "Olivia, Emma is sleepy, let's go back first!"

"good!"

Olivia Li stood up and said to old Madam Tao: "Grandma, the child is sleepy, so we will leave first."

old Madam Tao didn't hold back and nodded.

Grace Tao winked at Earl Yuan. Earl Yuan understood and stood up, and said enthusiastically: "Olivia, let me drive you back!"

"No, we have a car."

"Didn't you sell your car?"Earl Yuan asked in confusion.

Olivia Li explained: "Aaron Zhao now drives a special car for others. When he is not driving, the car stays at our house for his own use."

Amelia Li exaggeratedly said: "You don't know, my brother-in-law drives a luxury car Phaeton worth more than two million yuan."

Upon hearing that Zhao Xu was driving a "Phaeton" worth more than two million yuan, everyone present had dumbfounded expressions. It seems that the boss Aaron Zhao has a good background.

Aaron Zhao glanced at his sister-in-law Amelia Li, picked up Emma and left with the old woman Olivia Li with a very tugging look.

Earl Yuan felt bored, he was an outsider here. If he still had the dignity to stay any longer, he would leave with the excuse that something happened.

Aria Tao's son-in-law, who works at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, laughed and said, "I'm just a driver. What's there to show off?"

"Cousin-in-law, are you jealous? I heard that my brother-in-law's boss is rich."

Amelia Li didn't know who Aaron Zhao's boss was. But she was not used to this "cousin-in-law" in her third aunt's family, and she always sneered at her own family.

"No matter how rich you are, it belongs to your boss. He, Aaron Zhao, is not allowed to work for others with his salary."

"That's better than following your section chief all day long and being a lapdog!"

Aria Tao was unhappy when she heard this and said coldly: "Amelia! Why are you talking?"

"Oh! I made a mistake. It shouldn't be called a pug, it should be called a follower!" He stood up and said, "I'm done eating, let's go now!" He ignored everyone and went out with his backpack.

Aria Tao was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She pointed at Grace Tao and said, "Second sister, look at the children you discipline? They really lack education."

"The upbringing of your children is not much better!"Grace Tao directly started arguing with her third sister , Aria Tao.

old Madam Tao slammed the table with a bang and said, "That's enough! The little ones are ignorant, so are you older ones still ignorant? Only when the family is harmonious can everything be prosperous. If you look at each of you, you will know the intrigues every day. . I’ll start with my ugly words. If any of you haven’t contributed to the cooperation with Xuri Group, don’t blame me for not giving you a dime.” After saying that, he walked away slightly on crutches.

After Aaron Zhao and Olivia Li returned to the rental house with their children, Emma had already fallen asleep.

Aaron Zhao gently put the child on the bed in the hut. He walked out to the bathroom and turned on the water heater. He came out and said to Olivia Li: "Olivia, the water is heated. Go take a bath!"

Olivia Li crossed her arms, her beautiful eyes fell on Aaron Zhao's face, and asked: "Aaron Zhao, let me ask you! Grandma said that the Tao Family will cooperate with the Xuri Group, and this matter will affect the future division of the family property. What did you do at that time? Didn’t you tell me that you know Baird Chen?”

"Why are you talking about this? It's not up to me whether the Tao Family can negotiate a cooperation with the Xuri Group. I'm just master Chen's driver."

"But at least you know Baird Chen, so you have more hope than them!"

Aaron Zhao smiled and said, "Olivia, if you want the Tao Family to cooperate with the Xuri Group, can I say hello to master Chen?"

"Forget it, you're right! You're just a driver, it's useless even if you talk to master Chen about this!..."
