My courtyard shelter

Early the next morning, Xu Dong took Zhou Yinsheng and two bodyguards and set out. According to the address given by Sister Du, the four of them arrived at the community where Li Tao rented.

"Director Xu, shall we go up directly?"

Zhou Yinsheng asked.

Although the boss has retired, he has become accustomed to being called "Dr. Xu" in his daily life.

Xu Dong shook his head: "No, let's wait for him to come out at the gate of the community."

Before coming, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

"What if Li Tao never comes out?"

"Don't worry, he will throw himself into a trap later."

Xu Dong is very confident.

Sure enough, within half an hour, Li Tao walked out of the community with a smile on his face. He immediately ordered two bodyguards to bring him over.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Li Tao panicked for a moment, thinking that his enemies were coming to seek revenge. After all, he had offended many people when he was a member of society.

Xu Dong opened the car door smoothly: "Stop arguing and get in the car quickly."

"Uncle, it's you?" Li Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and then got into the car: "Did my mother ask you to pick me up? Why didn't she tell me?"

Just now, his mother called him and said that she was afraid that he would suffer hardship outside and asked him to come back to get some living expenses. Then he was ready to go home.

Xu Dong didn't waste any time with the other party and asked Zhou Yinsheng to drive to a nearby teahouse and asked for a small private room.

Li Tao immediately realized that something was wrong, and he felt extremely nervous. He didn't dare to say a word the whole time, and followed obediently.

Since his father passed away, Uncle Xu has taken his father's place. He was okay when he was a child, but as he grew up, he became more and more strict, making him afraid to come to the house casually.

After entering the box, Xu Dong didn't say anything, but he hit a few big dicks with his backhand, which immediately stunned Li Tao and stayed on the spot.

Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, to protect the big boss in the middle to prevent Li Tao from hurting anyone.

Xu Dong took a deep breath:

"Do you know why I hit you?"

Li Tao lowered his head and covered his face without saying a word.

"Look at the good things you have done. If your father were still here, you would be angry to death...

If it's other problems, I won't say anything. At most, I'll spend money to eliminate the problem...

The most intolerable thing is your behavior. You are as young as Rongrong, how can you bear it? "

Xu Dong scolded him for more than ten minutes in one breath.

Li Tao finally reacted.

Growing up, his parents never spanked him, and all kinds of grievances suddenly flooded into his heart:

"You are not my father. You don't have to worry about my affairs, and you are not qualified to teach me a lesson."

"Hmph, you think I want to take care of you? If your father hadn't asked me to take care of you two, you would have been dead and rotten, and I wouldn't even bother to take a second look."

Xu Dong immediately replied.

Li Tao gritted his teeth and did not continue to argue.

He calmed down quickly.

He was too impulsive just now. To be honest, without Uncle Xu's help, he wouldn't even be able to go to college, let alone find a satisfying job after graduation.

Although he is a lazy person, he still has some self-awareness. He knows that he has no ability and cannot endure hardship. If Uncle Xu really doesn't care about him, he will be the one who suffers in the end.

Sometimes people have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

Seeing that the other party had softened, Xu Dong couldn't help but slow down his tone a bit: "Tell me, you can't live a good life, what do you think?"

"Uncle, it's not that I like the new and hate the old, it's just that I can't live this life." Li Tao took the opportunity to complain.

"Bullshit, you were the one chasing He Rong in the first place. No one forced you, right? Now that they have given birth to two children for you, you have begun to dislike them. How dare you shirk your responsibilities?"

Xu Dong yelled loudly.

"Uncle, please listen to me explain to you." Li Tao quickly defended, "I really didn't expect that He Rong would be so strong after marriage. No matter at work or in life, he would control me in everything. I fed up."

"Huh? Is this the reason why you cheated?"

"I just want to be free."

Xu Dong snorted coldly: "Freedom? Do you know what freedom is?"

"Uncle, do you need to talk about freedom? Of course I can do whatever I want and no one can control me."

"Li Tao, you are wrong." Xu Dong shook his head, "Uncle, I tell you, freedom means not doing anything you don't want to do. Do you understand?"

Li Tao couldn't help but think deeply.

Xu Dong continued to teach: "With your uncle and my current status, we can't do whatever we want. Most of the time we have no control over it. If I remember correctly, you should be thirty this year, right?"

"Exactly thirty." Li Tao replied.

"As the old saying goes, you reach your thirties in life. Now you should learn to take on your own responsibilities and determine your goals in life. Do you think you have done it?"

Li Tao fell into silence again.

He understands the truth, but it is absolutely impossible for him to return to his original life. He is very satisfied with his current partner and does not want to let him down.

Call him lazy or selfish.

In short, it just can't be done.

After all, life is only a few decades, so why bother with so many things? Just live a comfortable life. This is also the principle he has always adhered to.

When Xu Dong saw that the other party was not getting enough, he suddenly got angry and said, "What? You still don't know how to repent?"

"Uncle, for my dad's sake, can you help me?" Li Tao pleaded.

Xu Dong shook his head in disappointment.

Since soft tactics didn't work, he had to resort to hard tactics.

He immediately ordered two bodyguards to take Li Tao to the next room and control him strictly, even gagged him, mainly to prevent him from making any noise.

...

Ten minutes later, Zhou Yinsheng led a foreign woman in her early twenties in. She was indeed very beautiful, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and a graceful demeanor. No wonder Li Tao cheated.

"Mr. Xu, the person is here."

Xu Dong pointed to the seat next to him: "Please sit down."

"Thank you." The foreign woman spoke fluently, "My name is Melissa, you are the Xu 'Anke' mentioned by Li Tao, right? He often mentioned you to me."

"What did he say to you?"

Xu Dong asked casually.

"It's mainly about the company. If Li Tao didn't lie to me, didn't you just retire in February?"

Xu Dong nodded: "So, you already know my identity?"

"You are the major shareholder of Xinke Haizao and the former chairman of Gaoke Group. Compared with this, you have a more famous title, the world's richest man."

"That was in the past." Xu Dong took out a check from his pocket, "Since you know everything, let's make it short. Here is one million. I hope you can leave Li Tao."

"Uncle... Can I call you that?"

"Whatever, in fact, at my age, I can barely be your grandfather."

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he gently placed the check in front of the other party.

"I can't take this money."

Melissa returned the check.

Xu Dong frowned: "Why? Too little?"

"No, uncle, you misunderstood. Li Tao and I really like each other. He promised to marry me, and I am willing to believe him."

"Then do you know? Li Tao actually already has a family, and his two children are not even five years old. Do you have the heart to destroy his family?"
