Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Barber Gentleman Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Barber Gentleman Tao Mo was stunned, he hadn’t expected his own grandson to not stand by his side!
He immediately became annoyed, “Our family isn’t so poor that your sister needs to go out and earn money to ! Previously, in that household, she had no choice but to become their cash cow! Now that she is the Tao Family’s precious daughter, why does she still need to seek a living in that chaotic entertainment circle!”
“Everyone has their own aspirations, and when she needed us most, we weren’t there for her. It was only after she entered the entertainment industry that she met your eldest and second brothers, and her life gradually improved. For your sister, the entertainment industry means something different! We can’t change her dreams just because we are now in her life!”
“Dreams? How do you know your sister likes the entertainment industry?”
“Then just ask your sister directly.” Tao Shen replied, with a stern face and a serious expression, fixing his gaze on the old man.
Tao Mo, confronted by his eldest grandson’s maturity that seemed beyond his age, wanted to say more but was tugged at by Tian Leran and given a stern look.
Tao Mo, having no choice, had to shut up.
Tao Ti, smelling sweetly and with her hair wet, ran out wearing a soft pink bunny sleep dress, her little face clean and fair, water droplets clinging to her lashes, her eyes shining brightly, her dimples deep as she smiled and her eyes curved like crescents: “I’m all washed, the body wash smells so good, it’s strawberry scented!”
This was what Liu Mingzhu had carefully chosen, seeing her daughter liking it, she also smiled broadly, “It’s cream strawberry flavored, do you like it a lot?”
“Like! I love strawberries!”
“Tomorrow morning, big brother will make you a strawberry cake!” Tao Shen, who had been stern just a moment ago, immediately turned into a gentle and amiable young man in front of his sister.
Tao Ti’s eyes brightened even more, she trotted over and nestled up to Tao Shen, whispering, “Can I have a little cake covered with strawberries, please?”
Tao Shen ruffled her damp hair, smiling, “Okay! Come on, big brother will blow-dry your hair!”
“I can do it myself…”
“Big brother will help you blow-dry it!”
“I like blow-drying your hair. If you don’t let me, I won’t be able to sleep, and if I can’t wake up, there won’t be anyone to make your little strawberry cake!”
“Well… okay then, but you have to wake up early, okay? Call me too, I want to make the strawberry cake too…”
“Okay, I’ll call you to join me, just sit nicely now. Beautiful little princess, your stylist, Little Shen, at your service.”
“Giggle giggle giggle…”
Seeing Tao Ti giggled heartily as Tao Shen entertained her, the previously tense atmosphere due to the discussion about Little Tao Ti’s future seemed to have dissolved along with it.
Cheng Guodong whispered to Qin Xin beside him, “This kid, really knows how to smooth things over!”
Qin Xin gave a playful smile, “Isn’t that great? Having an older brother who knows how to charm people is a good thing for the little sister.”
Cheng Guodong somewhat disagreed, “I can charm people too!”
Qin Xin gave him a sidelong glance.
Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Cheng Guodong muttered, “Just a bit less than him, that’s all.”
Qin Xin resignedly said, “You and I, after all, are much older than her, children still relate better to other children to really let loose.”
“He’s almost fifteen! How is he still a child?”
“An age difference of less than ten years means they can still play together.”
Cheng Guodong gave in, “Alright, I can’t argue with you.”
On the other side, Tao Shen gently tousled Little Taotie’s hair, holding the hairdryer at a careful distance, gently shaking it, and sending a soft breeze to dry the moisture on her hair. Little Taotie, like a little kitty, slightly narrowed her eyes enjoying the comfort and let out a lazy yawn.
“Do you like being a Little Star?”
A gentle inquiry from Tao Shen reached her ears.
Little Taotie, with her eyes half closed, hummed affirmatively with a nasal sound.
Tao Mo rushed over, blurting out, “Previously, you became a star to earn money for your grandfather’s treatment. Now that your grandfather is no longer here, you really don’t need to work so hard. You’re also about to start elementary school soon, and work might affect your studies.”
