Chapter 575: Chapter 575: Balancing Contradictions_1

Watching his son and a grown man being all lovey-dovey, acting all shy, Tao Wenqiang shook his head incessantly, "What a sin! What a sin!"

He really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, Dong Hao was perfectly fine not long ago, how did he suddenly become gay?

Seeing Tao Donghao nestle into Li Tienan’s embrace, Tao Wenqiang could no longer bear to watch, he waved his hand and turned into another room.

Tao Pinggui and Tao Donglai followed him there as well.

"Dad, have some tea, this is the premium Da Hong Pao that I brought back from Wuyi Mountain last month."

After a rest, Tao Donglai hurried over with a cup of tea, "Would you like to try it?"

"Hmm."

Tao Wenqiang really was a bit thirsty, he took the tea, sipped it lightly, then glanced at Tao Pinggui and said with displeasure, "Dong Lai, what kind of job are you doing? You haven’t even served your uncle a cup of tea!"

Tao Pinggui had just had a conflict with his nephew, Tao Donglai, the night before, and their relationship was already a bit stiff, now seeing Tao Donglai not offering him tea, he felt slightly annoyed, but his face bore a smile, "Big brother, we are family, no need for formalities, I am not thirsty, it’s fine as long as you drink."

"Speaking of which, I was impulsive last night, it was hard on Dong Lai..."

Tao Donglai narrowed his eyes, knowing that his uncle was about to cause trouble, he laughed lightly and patted his own head, "Father’s teaching is right, look at my memory, I forgot to serve tea to uncle."

He snapped his fingers, and soon a pretty young woman came in holding a tray.

Tao Donglai took a white jade teapot from the tray, poured a cup, and handed it to Tao Pinggui with both hands, "Uncle, please have some tea."

"Last night Dong Lai really had no choice but to make that phone call to uncle."

"Dr. Wang is a key person in the Tao Pharmaceuticals research center, our father used quite a few tricks to recruit him, and at this time, it’s the critical period for the launch of ’Super Brother No. 2,’ I really had no other way but to quarrel with uncle."

He poured himself another cup and, picking it up, said, "Dong Lai would like to substitute tea for wine, to make amends to uncle, and I hope uncle won’t mind..."

Tao Wenqiang, being very astute, immediately understood that there was some tension hidden in the words between his brother and son.

He chuckled, picked up his tea cup, and tried to make peace, "Pinggui, Dong Lai, we are all family, if there is any problem, we just need to work together to solve it, come on, let’s drink this cup and put all unpleasantness behind us!"

Ordinarily, Tao Wenqiang making peace meant Tao Pinggui should save face, but remembering the inhumane treatment he received the day before, he felt rather suffocated inside.

"Ah..."

He picked up the tea cup but did not drink it, and instead placed it back on the table, sighing deeply.

Seeing his brother not giving face, Tao Wenqiang felt a bit displeased, but still scolded his son, "Dong Lai! How many times have I told you, Pinggui is your uncle, you must respect him both physically and mentally!"

"Kneel down and apologize to your uncle right now!"

Tao Donglai frowned, feeling very depressed inside.

It was clearly uncle who was being unreasonable last night, bringing people to beat up Dr. Wang and smash the laboratory’s glass, so how did it become my fault now, requiring me to kneel and apologize to uncle?

But he knew his father’s personality all too well, now was definitely not the time to talk back.

With this in mind, Tao Donglai reluctantly knelt down, about to kowtow to Tao Pinggui.

"Big brother, no need, Dong Lai is young, and it is normal for him to be a bit hot-headed, he just needs to be more careful in the future," said Tao Pinggui.

Tao Pinggui could see that his older brother was putting on a show; if he actually let Dong Lai, the family heir, kneel and apologize to him, his brother would surely hold a grudge in his heart.

Therefore, without a second thought, he wheeled his chair over and pretended to help Tao Donglai up, smiling warmly, "Dong Lai, get up."

"Big brother was right, we are family, let the past be the past."

"However, in the future, do pay a bit more attention when you speak. After all, I am your elder, and it’s important to show some respect."

Fuck! You shameless bastard!

Tao Donglai’s face twitched slightly, he inwardly cursed, but also followed along gracefully, "Uncle is right, I will be more mindful in the future."

Tao Wenqiang nodded slightly, and feigned casualness, "Pinggui, you too, you should think more before you do things, avoid acting impulsively."

"To recruit Dr. Wang I had to go to great lengths, and now that you broke his arm, sure you felt good, but Dong Lai’s new drug research has been delayed, and that is troubling for him..."

Last night, Tao Donglai had already reported to him how Tao Pinggui stormed into the research center of Tao Pharmaceuticals and assaulted Dr. Wang, the director of research.

Although Tao Pharmaceuticals wasn’t making money as fast as the Tao’s Commerce Guild, it was stable and had huge potential for growth.

Recently, Park Bio, a top-five global company, had even reached out to Tao Pharmaceuticals with an offer of partnership!

Tao Wenqiang believed that with a partnership with Park Bio, given time, Tao Pharmaceuticals could leap to become a world-class pharmaceutical company!

So, to prevent Tao Pinggui from causing more trouble for Dr. Wang, Tao Wenqiang had to give his brother a stern warning.

Tao Pinggui wanted to explain, "But my illness was caused by ’Super Brother No. 2’..."

"Whether ’Super Brother No. 2’ is the main reason for your sickness, I will have specialists analyze it!"

Tao Wenqiang cut him off, "As for your illness, with Tony’s medical team on it, there won’t be any problem."

"They are some of the most top-notch doctors in the industry, and will certainly cure you!"
