C196 The Demons Are Getting Closer.
After hearing these stories, Sui Guan could only sigh.
Some of the old proverbs were famous!
Every family had difficulties.
If the things that happened to Tao Jing were to happen to an ordinary family, the current situation would not have happened.
"Sui Guan, no matter what, you have to cure my grandfather today!" Tao Jing looked at Sui Guan without moving.
Sui Guan nodded seriously. "I will try my best!"
Tao Jing was so serious because she wanted to show off at the Tao Family Ancestral Worship Ceremony today. She wanted to let these people who used to look at her coldly know that she was no longer the same person she was back then.
As for Sui Guan, as a friend, he naturally had to help Tao Jing with this.
Although he had this thought, he did not know if Master Tao's leg disease could be cured.
If Sui Guan could not cure Grandpa Tao, then he would be embarrassed.
After a while, the two of them arrived in front of a grand ancient building.
At this time, there was already a large group of people standing there. Each of them was dressed in formal attire. It was obvious that these people were not simple. They should be the masters and wives of Tao Family.
Sui Guan and Tao Jing stood at the end of the crowd. They did not attract anyone's attention.
At this time, Sui Guan's eyes passed the crowd and looked directly into the ancient building. He saw an old man holding three huge candles, burning incense and praying inside.
Sui Guan retracted his gaze and said to Tao Jing, "That's your grandfather? He looks quite healthy!"
Tao Jing shook her head. "His body is no longer the same as before. As Family Master, he must maintain his best condition on this grand day. "After all, there are many people in the family who are eyeing his position!"
Sui Guan smiled helplessly when he heard that." It is not easy for your grandfather to be the head of the family. He still has to be wary of others replacing him at all times."
"Actually, he also hopes that someone can replace him, but my father's generation doesn't have any outstanding leaders. Otherwise, my grandfather wouldn't have been able to persist until now.
" Currently, almost all of the people from the Tao Family are competing for Family Master's position. Almost all of them are of the same age as me. There are a few good successors among them, but for safety reasons, my grandfather didn't pass his position down too early. Instead, he wants to test us. "
Tao Jing explained the current situation of the Tao Family to Sui Guan in a low voice.
"Seeing how well you've been developing recently, I reckon that it's also the result of your grandfather's great support, right?" Sui Guan asked.
Tao Jing laughed coldly. Then, she put on a mocking expression and said:
"This is also the reason why I am so unwelcomed in the family. My brothers and sisters now wish they could expel me from the family. Because they know that as long as I become Family Master, I will definitely take revenge on them!"
Tao Jing did not explain what happened to Sui Guan back then. It could only be said that her experience was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. The actions of some people in the family simply made her feel a chill in her heart.
Tao Jing did not even reveal it. She was like a wild beast licking its wounds by itself. In a quiet corner, she slowly healed her injuries. She was waiting for an opportunity to catch all those who had hurt her in one fell swoop!
"Women are all creatures who love to hold grudges!" Sui Guan said with a trembling voice.
Tao Jing saw that Sui Guan misunderstood her, so she immediately explained.
"Actually, I am not such a cruel person, but what some people did back then was really too much. " As long as I have the chance to sit in the position of grandfather, then I will definitely take revenge in the future! "
Sui Guan comforted her. "Don't worry, I don't think you are a vicious person. If I had experienced such a thing as well... "Maybe I'm even more extreme than you when I do things?"
Tao Jing was delighted in her heart and quickly asked, "Do you really think so?"
Sui Guan nodded. "Of course I know your character! Although you are a bit fierce, you are definitely not a bad person! "
After another half an hour, the Ancestral Worship Ceremony ended.
Under Tao Jing's lead, they went to the dining area.
During this period of time, Sui Guan discovered that the people from the Tao Family had unconsciously increased the distance between them and Tao Jing. It was as if they were afraid of getting into trouble.
Tao Jing had already expected this. She minded her own business and said, "Looks like they are going to make a move on me today!"
"What?" Sui Guan was a little confused when he heard that.
Tao Jing teased him. "Of course they want to take advantage of today's ancestral worshipping day to pressure Grandfather. Everyone, join forces and expel me from the Tao Family! "
When Sui Guan heard this, he was stunned. "It can't be? They are so ruthless?"
Tao Jing explained, "Last time on Grandfather's birthday, you sold me Tangsancais. Grandfather liked it very much, so I even received his praise.
Grandpa even praised me in front of everyone, saying that I was at the same level as him back then. But when this sentence was heard by others, they felt uncomfortable in their hearts! "
Sometimes, I was praised by others. That is also not a good thing. "
Sui Guan said thoughtfully. He felt that Tao Jing's grandfather was harming her. How could others not be jealous of him praising her in front of so many people?
"My grandfather is such a smart person. How could he not think of the pressure this sentence brings to me? Since he did so, it means that he has already planned everything. " So in my opinion, that time, he wasn't praising me, but testing me! "
Tao Jing understood her grandfather very well.
Although her grandfather was old, he was not as muddle-headed as most people. Instead, he was smart. At that time, the reason why he praised Tao Jing was because he wanted to make the other members of the family unhappy.
After becoming the target of public criticism, Tao Jing naturally had to face a large wave of challenges. If she could resolve all these challenges, then it could prove that she really had the strength to take over Family Master's position.
If Tao Jing couldn't handle the challenges, it would prove that her strength wasn't enough to shock the crowd. Then, she naturally wouldn't be able to take on the position of Family Master.
After listening to Tao Jing's explanation, Sui Guan admired her.
Her ability to analyze things was really too strong.
She was able to think of so many things through a single action of her grandfather!
At the same time, Sui Guan was also very glad that he had such a smart partner. With such a talent joining him, his business would definitely become stronger!
"Jing, you are too smart. From now on, no matter who you marry, he will be unlucky." Sui Guan said worriedly.
Tao Jing sneered and said, "Those disloyal fellows better not fall into my hands. Otherwise, I will make him wish he was dead!"
For some reason, Sui Guan felt that Tao Jing's words were directed at him. He trembled as he listened.
I'm not her boyfriend, what am I afraid of?
Thinking of this, Sui Guan's heart finally relaxed a lot.
He and Tao Jing were only friends. They were not a couple. So Tao Jing's threat was not a threat to him at all.
Furthermore, he was not the kind of person who was not loyal to love.
The rules of the Tao Family's banquet were very high today. Ten tables were spread out side by side, and almost all of the people sitting on the tables were from the Tao Family. From this, it could be seen how powerful their family was.
However, Sui Guan, Tao Jing, and the others were sitting alone on one table. The others didn't dare to sit together with them.
Sui Guan looked at Tao Jing, who had a suppressed expression on her face, and pretended not to care. He smiled. "Haha, such a big table of dishes, let's eat together!"
Tao Jing heard him and said lightly, "I am not that weak. I have long gotten used to all of this!"
