At the same time-

Tao Niannian kept pacing back and forth in front of the Tao family’s old mansion.

She had nowhere else to go.

The Lu family chased her out. Out of pride, she did not even bring her luggage.

She only took her phone and identification card.

Therefore, her only choice was to return to the Tao family.

Her grandfather was not at home, so the maids and guards at home did not dare to let her in.

The sky was getting dark. Her fair skin was bitten by mosquitoes several times, and her entire body was itchy.

Tao Niannian couldn’t help but call her grandfather.

However, just like before, her grandfather was ruthless and refused to listen to her.

She felt wronged and tears began to well up in her eyes.

At this moment, a car slowly stopped in front of her, and Tao Siyuan and Xie Lian came out.

Tao Siyuan did not notice Tao Niannian, who was standing beside the big stone lion at the door. It was Xie Lian who had sharp eyes and noticed her. “Isn’t that Niannian?”

“Oh?”

Tao Siyuan looked in the direction she was pointing at and saw Tao Niannian.

He was gloating inwardly.

In the Tao family, the old master doted on Tao Niannian the most. He did not care about his sons at all. This also indirectly caused Tao Niannian to be unscrupulous in the Tao family and step on them. Tao Niannian had ridiculed him quite a bit when he married Xie Lian.

Not long ago, Tao Niannian offended Jiang Yining and Lu Zhi and was chased out of the Tao family.

He was very happy.

“Let’s go. Ignore her.”

Tao Siyuan pulled Xie Lian along, wanting to directly enter the residence.

Xie Lian shook her head and whispered a few words into his ear.

Tao Siyuan’s lips twitched unhappily and he said, “Alright, for the sake of revenge, I can only tolerate this little princess.”

“Yes.”

Xie Lian nodded and then walked towards Tao Niannian.

“Niannian, why are you here alone?”

When Tao Niannian heard the voice, she raised her head and saw that the person in front of her was Xie Lian. She pursed her lips in disdain and didn’t answer her. Because Xie Lian was born into a humble family, in her heart, she was as lowly as Jiang Yining and was not worthy of talking to her. Moreover, Xie Lian was a mistress. Tao Siyuan had a wife before, but after she died of illness, it was Xie Lian’s turn to be his wife.

Tao Niannian felt that it was a waste of her breath to talk to this kind of

woman.

Xie Lian didn’t feel embarrassed at all, but instead gave Tao Siyuan a look.

Tao Siyuan said unwillingly, “Niannian, did you not hear Ah Lian talking to you?”

“I heard her, but I don’t want to talk to her.” Tao Niannian said coldly.

“She is your aunt, your elder…”

“She’s only a few years older than me. Tao Siyuan, you’re shameless yourself. Don’t make the entire Tao family as shameless as you, okay?” Tao Niannian said bluntly.

“You…”

Tao Siyuan was furious. He turned around and wanted to leave.

Xie Lian pulled him back tightly and said to Tao Niannian, “Miss Tao, it’s fine if you don’t acknowledge me as your aunt, but Siyuan is your family. This is an unchangeable fact. Moreover, we just want to care about you. We don’t have any ill intentions.”

Tao Niannian rolled her eyes.

Seeing the woman he loved being humiliated by Tao Niannian like this, Tao Siyuan wanted to kick her and see if she was still arrogant! However, he had the heart to do so, but he did not have the guts. After all, the old man had only kicked Tao Niannian out of the Tao family for a while. He wouldn’t stop her from coming back forever.

When the old man’s anger subsided, he would bring her back.

When Tao Niannian regained her power and status, if she came back to settle the score with him, he would really be in deep trouble.

Seeing that she was silent, Xie Lian continued, “1 think you want to go home, but the old master hasn’t had any intention of relenting these past few days… Moreover, the Tao family had indeed suffered a lot from the previous incident. I’m afraid the old master won’t forgive you for a while.”

Tao Niannian felt that Xie Lian was hitting her when she was down and mocking her. She retorted angrily, “Do 1 need you to say that? 1 know my grandfather’s temper better than you do.”

“However, 1 have a way to make the old man forgive you.” Xie Lian said gently.

Tao Niannian’s expression changed slightly. She was a little interested.

If she couldn’t go home tonight, she would have to live on the streets.

Xie Lian had been sizing her up the entire time. Noticing that her expression had changed, she understood that Tao Niannian wanted to know. Xie Lian said in a low voice, “Miss Tao, the old master loves you very much. It’s just that he’s in a fit of anger now and can’t put his pride aside. If you use the trick of suffering yourself, I think he definitely won’t be willing to let you suffer again. Why don’t we do this? If you kneel at the door, the old master will definitely not be able to hold it in and call you up. When the time comes, you should admit your mistakes again, and I’m sure he’ll forgive you.”

“You’re asking me to kneel at the door? 1 think you’re purely trying to harm me, right?” Tao Niannian said angrily.

She had never suffered so much in her life!

“I’m just giving Miss Tao some advice. It’s up to you whether you want to listen to it or not.”

After Xie Lian finished her sentence, she said to Tao Siyuan, “Let’s go.”

“Alright.”

Tao Siyuan glared at Tao Niannian and said, “You don’t know what’s good for you!”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Tao Niannian stomped her feet angrily as she watched the two of them walk into the Tao family’s mansion.

The night gradually darkened.

The lights in the Tao family’s mansion were lit up.

After Elder Tao finished his business discussion, he sat in the car tiredly and closed his eyes to rest.

Unknowingly, the car arrived at the entrance of the Tao family’s house.

The driver stopped the car and turned around to say, “Old sir, we’re home.”

Old Tao opened his eyes and calmed himself down. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Tao Niannian kneeling at the door. His brows instantly furrowed.

When Tao Niannian heard the sound of the car, she immediately straightened her body and cried, “Grandpa, I know 1 was wrong. Please forgive me.”

Elder Tao stood there and looked at her for a while.

Then, he continued walking home.

Tao Niannian finally managed to reach her grandfather, so how could she let him go?

She wanted to stand up and catch up to him.

But after kneeling for so long, her knees were sore, painful, and numb.

Just as she stood up straight, she knelt down heavily again.

She was wearing a dress, and her knees had hit the stone, causing many small wounds.

Tao Niannian couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into tears.

When Elder Tao heard her heart-wrenching cries, he stopped in his tracks, but he still resolutely entered the house.

He stepped into the living room.

Tao Siyuan and Xie Lian, who had been waiting for him for a long time, came forward to welcome him.

Without giving them a chance to speak, Elder Tao said directly, “I’ve been tired all day. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it tomorrow.”

“Dad, I’m not looking for you for anything. I just want to tell you that Niannian has been kneeling outside for the entire day. Her body is weak. If she continues kneeling down like this, something might happen to her. Even if she made a huge mistake, you should forgive her on account of her sincere repentance.” Tao Siyuan repeated what Xie Lian had taught him to the old man.

Elder Tao’s brows were still tightly knitted, and his eyes were filled with heartache and wavering.

He heartlessly kicked Niannian out of the house because he wanted her to repent and reflect on herself.

He wanted her to learn not to be so impulsive in the future and to think more about the big picture.

If he didn’t teach her a good lesson this time, she would probably continue making the same mistakes in the future.

But…

Was he being too strict?

If something really happened to Niannian, it would be too late for him to regret.

Xie Lian looked at the sky outside and said, “I heard from the weather forecast that it will rain tonight. Girls wouldn’t be able to stand the humidity. If she gets sick from this, it would probably be very difficult to completely cure her.”

“Dad, please forgive her.”

The couple echoed each other.

Elder Tao was silent for a long time before he said, “Don’t bother about things that you shouldn’t.”

Just as he was about to leave, there was a muffled thunder outside.

Then, the housekeeper rushed in and said, “Old Sir, Miss has fainted.”

Elder Tao’s expression changed drastically. He scolded, “Fainted? What’s wrong with you guys? Niannian wants to kneel, and you’re just going to let her kneel?”

Who would dare to stop Tao Niannian from kneeling?

The housekeeper thought to himself, but he did not dare to reply.

Elder Tao hurried out.

Tao Siyuan and Xie Lian looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

This time, Tao Niannian owed them a favor.

Bean-sized raindrops kept falling, and Tao Niannian’s figure was on the verge of collapsing.

Elder Tao strode up to her.

Tao Niannian called out weakly, “Grandpa… You’re finally willing to see me.”

Seeing that she didn’t faint, Elder Tao glared at the housekeeper, then squatted down and tapped her head. He chided, “Why are you so stupid? If you ruin your body, won’t you be the one suffering?”

Tao Niannian opened her arms and hugged her grandfather. She sobbed, “Grandpa, as long as you’re willing to forgive me, I’d rather be sick.”

Her grandfather hugged her and his heart softened.

He couldn’t bear to chase her out of the house anymore..
