Chapter 1169: Who Did You Like?

Gu Yundong admitted that he had no friendship with Tao Yan. They had only met once the last time.

He had paid attention to the fabric for no reason and had even specially made a trip to Yongfu Village to tell them that Gu Yundong did not believe that he was just bored.

Shao Qingyuan was the same. He had indeed tested Tao Yan.

Tao Yan’s answer was very interesting.

“He said that he admires our abilities and wants to build a good relationship with us and make friends.”

Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. “Make friends? He clearly knows that we don’t get along with the Tao family. I won my shop in the county city from the Tao family. Is he making friends? He wants us to owe him a favor.”

“Yes.” Shao Qingyuan nodded. “From his words, I guess the Tao family’s situation is a little tense now.”

Tao Yan had been brought back by Tao Feng for a period of time. With Old Master Tao and Old Madam Tao’s hatred for him, his life in the Tao family would probably not be easy.

Especially after hearing that the Tao family’s recent businesses were not very good, and their profits were also declining.

As such, Old Master Tao believed that Tao Yan was the Tao family’s nemesis. If he could not suppress Tao Yan and make him unable to raise his head, the Tao family would be finished sooner or later.

The Tao family would also be very dissatisfied with Tao Feng.

Some time ago, Tao Feng was in charge of most of the Tao family’s business. Now, it was back in Tao Xing’s hands.

The Tao family was now completely divided into two factions.

One group consisted of Tao Feng and Tao Yan, while the other group consisted of Master Tao and the others.

If the Tao Feng brothers wanted to live a good life, they had to be in charge.

The reason why Tao Yan wanted to befriend Gu Yundong was not necessarily because of Gu Yundong’s ability, but… because of the relationship between Gu Yundong and Qin Wenzheng.

When Tao Feng found Tao Yan back then, Qin Wenzheng was a secret helper. Tao Feng should have known Qin Wenzheng’s identity.

“So, they want to seize power and destroy Master Tao, but they actually want to borrow Qin Wenzheng’s hand?”

“That’s the gist of Tao Yan’s words.”

Gu Yundong touched her chin and sat on the chair.

Shao Qingyuan poured her a glass of water and said, “But the Tao family is involved in other matters now. Qin Wenzheng clearly knows that there’s something wrong with them, but he hasn’t acted yet. I’m afraid it’s not time yet.”

Gu Yundong sighed. “So not only can we not become Tao Yan’s helpers, but we also have to make sure that Tao Yan and Master Tao are not allowed to touch them?”

Why did she feel so… uncomfortable?

Shao Qingyuan nodded, but he changed his mind and said, “Perhaps we can ask Qin Wenzheng for his opinion.”

Shao Qingyuan felt that Qin Wenzheng had not moved, perhaps because there was no movement from the Tao family.

Perhaps he could alert the enemy?

Gu Yundong obviously had the same thoughts as him. He looked up and the two of them looked at each other.

They seemed to have a tacit understanding.

At the thought of this, Shao Qingyuan’s eyebrows moved. He couldn’t help but lower his head and kiss her. He really hoped that the end of August would come sooner so that he wouldn’t have to be so sneaky.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard messy footsteps outside.

Immediately after, there was a knock on the door, followed by Gu Xiaoxi’s panicked voice.

“Yundong, something bad has happened.”

Gu Yundong suddenly came back to her senses. She stood up and pushed Shao Qingyuan out.

A trace of frustration flashed across the latter’s heart. With an unfriendly expression, he went over and opened the door.

Outside the door stood Gu Xiaoxi, whose face was covered in sweat.
