Chapter 179 The An family members couldn't understand it, but they were deeply shocked!
Tao Yuantian is a notorious womanizer, with a constant stream of lovers, all of whom he only had casual flings with. Over the years, he has never shown any intention of remarrying.
So when people heard he was getting married, they were a little curious as to why he suddenly decided to settle down.
When they found out what happened, they were disgusted and almost threw up their leftovers.
Because everyone found out that Tao Yuantian's marriage partner was a twenty-year-old girl, but that's not the main point. The main point is that the girl was originally Tao Qingjun's girlfriend.
Tao Qingjun took his girlfriend to meet his parents, but somehow, his girlfriend and his father hit it off.
Old Deng actually did something like stealing his daughter-in-law, resulting in Tao Qingjun's girlfriend becoming his stepmother.
Why is he suddenly getting married now?
He insisted on having his wedding before his father. Could it be that he wanted to get revenge on his father for stealing his girlfriend?
If that's the case, this father and son are really something else. Does Tao Qingjun's current girlfriend know about these things?
"I'm so sorry, Aunt Pei, there really is a bit of a tight schedule. If you have something to do, you don't have to come. We're just going through the motions. The main thing is that the bride is pregnant," Tao Qingxu replied apologetically.
"Oh, I see..." Pei Yuning finally understood. "So it was your brother's girlfriend who got pregnant. No wonder."
"No, Aunt Pei," Tao Qingxu corrected, "she's pregnant."
Pei Yuning was taken aback. "All?"
Tao Qingxu nodded. "Yes, both brides are pregnant."
An family: ...
Fine……
At this moment, Pei Yuning noticed the bride's name on the invitation. She remembered hearing the name of the female protagonist in the story of the girlfriend becoming the stepmother before. It seemed to be Cai Tianbing.
Pei Yuning hesitated for a moment before asking, "Qingxu, is this invitation wrong? Shouldn't Cai Tianbing be your father's marriage partner?"
“I’m not mistaken, Aunt Pei,” Tao Qingxu said with a calm expression, “It was originally as you said, but then my dad had a new girlfriend, and my brother and Cai Tianbing still got together.”
The An family members couldn't understand it, but they were deeply shocked!
Is marriage such a trivial matter? Can you just change your marriage partner like that?
Moreover, changing marriage partners seems to be the least noteworthy thing in this whole matter. The main problem is that Tao Qingjun's girlfriend became his stepmother and then became his girlfriend again.
He accepted it?
Doesn't this mean he not only doesn't care that his dad is cheating on him, but he also makes sure the cuckoldry is pressed down and put on more securely?
Noticing that his family had been silent for quite some time, An Shuhai took a sip of tea, feigning composure, and chuckled twice before saying:
"Oh, I see. Then your brother doesn't necessarily have to have a wedding before your dad. It would be too much trouble for you to organize such a sudden event."
An's father knew that Tao Qingxu had to take care of most of the big and small matters in the Tao family. The Tao father and son were happy to be able to relax, but Tao Qingxu had to bear all the troubles.
Even the invitations were delivered by Tao Qingxu.
“I know this isn’t a good idea,” Tao Qingxu explained, “but the main reason is that they’re both showing soon and can’t wait, plus they’re mother and daughter.”
The An family members were stunned for a moment after hearing this short but information-rich sentence.
Father An had already raised his hand halfway to drink his tea, but he paused for a long while before asking uncertainly:
"Qingxu, are you saying that your father's wife and your brother's wife are mother and daughter?"
Tao Qingxu nodded, "Yes, Uncle An, if my dad gets married first, my brother would essentially be marrying his stepdaughter, which is ethically questionable. So we've decided to let my brother have his wedding first."
An family: ...
Is it ethically justifiable to follow this order?
Although there is indeed no blood relation issue, it still doesn't sound very pleasant.
"Are you just going to let them, father and son, run wild like this?" Father An still couldn't understand. "Old Master Tao would allow that?"
Tao Qingxu looked worried. "Grandpa was hospitalized recently and hasn't had the energy to take care of many things."
The An family understood.
Grandpa Tao was probably so angry that he was hospitalized.
He's so angry, yet his dutiful sons and grandsons are still happily holding their wedding.
After Tao Qingxu left, Pei Yuning shook her head helplessly, feeling quite indignant:
"Qingxu is such a good child, why did she have to be born into the Tao family?"
Although Tao Yuantian was very capable in running his business, he was not very responsible to his family and basically did not care about his children. His philandering started when he was young, and even after he got married and had children, he still had affairs and was constantly involved in scandals.
Tao Qingxu's biological mother was named Ni Jiaqin. She committed suicide shortly after Tao Qingjun was born, reportedly due to postpartum depression. Tao Qingxu was only ten years old at the time.
After Ni Jiaqin's death, Tao Yuantian was very sad and depressed for a while. At that time, everyone thought he had changed his ways. But less than a year later, they heard that he was having an affair. Only then did everyone realize that a leopard can't change its spots.
But Tao Yuantian not only ate excrement himself, he also wanted to feed excrement to everyone else.
Because although he has had many mistresses over the years, he has never remarried. He also said that his true love is still Ni Jiaqin, and the place of his wife in his heart can only be reserved for her. He said that he was just playing around with other women.
Every time he talks about his deceased wife, he has to put on a very affectionate act, which really disgusts everyone else.
Aren't we getting married now?
Despite growing up in such a family, Tao Qingxu was known among the younger generation for being obedient and sensible, and there was never any record of her being rebellious.
She is 32 years old this year and has never married or had children. Instead, she joined Dow Chemical early on and has demonstrated strong work ability.
In most families, having a child like this would be a cause for celebration, and they would be eager to groom him as their heir.
However, the Tao family is notorious for openly valuing sons over daughters.
Even if Tao Qingjun is very mediocre, he will still inherit the Tao family business in the future.
As for Tao Qingxu, she was merely a tool to assist Tao Qingjun. She did all the dirty and tiring work, while Tao Qingjun reaped the benefits.
This is also why Pei Yuning felt it was a pity that Tao Qingxu was born into the Tao family.
Even outsiders like them felt it was unfair, but Tao Qingxu showed no dissatisfaction and simply went along with her family's arrangements.
It is said that her daily routine now consists of being busy with work, dealing with her father's endless stream of lovers, or handling all sorts of troubles for her younger brother. She is practically being treated as an all-around nanny by this old couple.
Even so, she still worked hard and handled everything very well, truly a breath of fresh air in the circle of the wealthy, making people sigh at how fortunate the Tao family was to have such a daughter.
