Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star-Chapter 255: Perfect Brother
The Tao’s dinner went on in a difficult silence. Such a gigantic table with sumptuous delicacies, but only Tao Zhiwei was there, eating the meal alone.
Tao Zhiwei only took two mouthfuls from each dish before he had no appetite and could not eat anymore.
The butler, standing from far away, watched him put down his chopsticks, then turned to look at the tightly shut door on the second floor. In his entire career, the two siblings had always been courteous towards each other and had never been in a farce, This was the first time they argued and the first time there was a “silent treatment”.
Tao Zhiwei went upstairs and was prepared to go back to his room. He had just got on the first step before he couldn’t help but turn his head and stop the butler. He asked, “What does Yaoyao usually do at home?”
As a brother, his question was a bit ridiculous.
But Tao Zhiwei had just realized he did not know his younger sister at all. He wished to get some approval from the butler’s words.
However, the butler said, “The young miss had bought a camera online near her graduation ceremony. I was the one who signed the package. Ever since, she has always been going out early in the morning and returning late at night,” Being afraid Tao Zhiwei would misunderstand Tao Zhiyao again for doing useless things, the butler, who had always been discreet and never talked more than he needed to, justified for Tao Zhiyao,
“Xiao Zhao (Tao Zhiyao’s driver) told me that young miss has created a group with her group of friends. They filmed cyber videos. She was in charge of filming, and she has a huge work amount. She’s very busy, and today, she invited her friends over to borrow the piano in the living room to film a video.”
The butler took out his phone. People his age rarely watched videos online. Under Xiao Zhao’s guidance, he specially went online to download the 11th episode of “Shi-Senpai”, which Tao Zhiyao had participated in, along with the “Vet’s Cuties” that was trendy online, before saving them in his phone.
“Look, this is the young miss’ work. It’s very outstanding.”
Tao Zhiwei took over the butler’s phone and clicked open the video.
In the first video, he saw the only girl that dared to stare directly at him and smile in the group of people just now. In his sister’s camera, this girl was wearing a blue dress and looked incredibly beautiful.
He could imagine that his sister must really like her because every frame in the video contained lots of effort. The entire video was full of friendship and emotions.
The second video was about pets. It had a boisterous atmosphere with all the cats and dogs.
He recalled Tao Zhiyao’s words. She liked cats.
Yes, they’ve long known that she liked cats. Tao Zhiyao surely begged them a few times, for she wanted to have a cat. Every time, her request was rejected, and she had never mentioned it ever again since.
They did not expect this to become her obsession.
Tao Zhiwei felt deeply resentful. He didn’t know his sister knew how to film, and he had never cared about her hobbies. He admitted that he wasn’t a meeting-expectations brother.
“Later on today, tell the kitchen to make some sweet porridge and send some to Yaoyao,” Tao Zhiwei told the butler.
The butler nodded.
How could Tao Zhiwei allow his sister to starve?
Under his parents’ elite education, he, as a person, was a bit hardhearted, but that didn’t mean he didn’t love Tao Zhiyao. It was why Tao Zhiyao didn’t go out and work, but she still had so much allowance she couldn’t spend all of them.
All this money came from Tao Zhiwei!
Tao Zhiyao, lying on her bed, was like a dead body. Her eyes stared at the luxurious ceiling, going into a trance. She felt depressed and dispirited.
Before knowing Liu Man and the others, this was her usual status — A non-mainstream rich daughter that was incredibly indoor that didn’t like going outside and only liked playing with her phone.
She comforted herself on the inside. This was not a big deal, and there was nothing to feel angry or complain about. She should’ve already gotten used to it. Hadn’t her family always been like this, feeling so self-righteous?
In this house, she had always felt she was the extra one. She was the sour pickle that came along when they bought the box of the meal. Sour pickles were too sour and salty to be consumed, but it would be a pity to throw them away.
From her brother’s name, “wei(唯)”, it could be seen that their parents thought her brother was “the only(唯一)”. He was the unique one that couldn’t be replaced. As a result, after eight years, it was a mystery why they gave birth to her, the extra one.
From childhood, her brother had been more good-looking than her. He had been smarter and had a better personality, and he was the recognized successor in the family, bearing everyone’s hope.
Her parents had attached more importance to males rather than females. Their eyes were always subconsciously on her brother, and they put more effort into raising her brother. Her brother did not let them down and did well in all aspects. His entire path was excellent, and he had successfully taken over the company from their father, bearing the huge responsibility.
In their family, everyone couldn’t help but smile when they see her brother, and when they see her… Hehe, she was a freak.
Was she not ladylike enough and not upper-class enough? But no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to be compared with her brother, and her parents would never give her one extra glance of praise.
It was like she would never be able to learn how to play the piano.
Tao Zhiyao buried her face into the pillow.
At this time, a faint piano playing came into her bedroom.
She could tell that the piano was playing “Jasmine”.
Li Xiaoru came back?!
Tao Zhiyao sat up, surprised and glad. Next, her shoulders sagged as she mocked herself.
This was her villa. The security was very strict. Without her in lead, how could Li Xiaoru possibly get in?
Tao Zhiwei was the one playing the piano.
Hehe. Her brother was exhausted from his long business trip, and he was still in the leisure mood to play the piano.
Although she thought that, Tao Zhiyao still silently pricked her ears and sneakily listened.
Playing the piano was, of course, a hobby used to pass time to people in a rich family, and it wasn’t something used to earn a living. However, Tao Zhiwei’s piano level was close enough to a professional pianist’s.
This was her brother. No matter what he learned, he could be the best. If her brother was ten years younger and went back to his “fresh meat” stage if he didn’t get in the business industry and had gone to Capital Music University to learn the piano, how would Tang Tu still be related to titles such as “The Chosen Musician” or “National Male God”?
Tao Zhiwei played “Jasmine” in a pitiful mood. He was indirectly apologizing to his sister. Unfortunately, Tao Zhiyao was tone-deaf. In her opinion, Tao Zhiwei’s “Jasmine” was no different from Li Xiaoru’s “Jasmine”. It was smooth, and they were both pretty nice to listen to.
She felt very drowsy as she listened. She had worked the entire day to film the video, and she argued with her brother. Her mental state was very exhausted.
Then, under Tao Zhiwei’s “lullaby”, she went to sleep.
Later on, the butler came up with some sweet porridge. He pushed a button to ring the doorbell and woke Tao Zhiyao up, “Young miss, the young master has told me to prepare some porridge for you.”
Tao Zhiyao still wanted to sleep and didn’t have the appetite to eat a meal. She didn’t even open the door and said drowsily, “Leave the porridge in front of the door.”
She then went back to sleep.
The butler thought she was still angry.
He honestly told Tao Zhiwei Tao Zhiyao’s status.
Tao Zhiwei felt very worried. They, as siblings, had never been in a fight before, and he had never fought with any woman. He did not know anything about his sister’s temper. What if Tao Zhiyao was going to keep on giving him the silent treatment?
After all, she could pretend to be a lady for twenty years!
After some pondering, Tao Zhiwei called his assistant.
On the morning of the second day, Tao Zhiyao, who had had an extremely good night of sleep, washed and changed before preparing to get downstairs for breakfast. As soon as she opened her door, she saw a delicate small box in front of the door.
She knelt out of curiosity and picked up the box. She had just opened the lid before a furry, small head popped out from inside and meowed at her.
