142 142 Heaven’s pride

Tan Jing was still quibbling, “Please don’t believe Tan Rou! She’s trying to harm me on purpose …” Before she could finish speaking, Tan Rou hung up the phone. She had already got what she wanted. It was a waste of time to listen to Tan Jing’s nonsense. She had been talking in a strange way for a long time. When her parents found out, she wanted to make it up to them. It was nothing more than a helpless cry.

Tan Rou’s head hurt when she heard this, and she didn’t want to care about Tan Jing anymore.

Mrs. Tao held Tan Rou’s hand as her heart ached and looked at her affectionately. “Good child, you’ve been wronged. Does Tan Jing often say these things to you in school? Why didn’t you tell mom about it? Don’t listen to her nonsense. No matter how much trouble Xiao Qi causes, you’re still my good daughter. No one can kick you out!”

Mrs. Tao’s heart was broken. No matter how strong Tan Rou was, she would still be sad when she heard these words. Tan Jing took advantage of the fact that she grew up in the Tao family and was close to Tao Qi to bully Rou. Now that Tan Rou had fallen out with the Tan family, Tan Jing still used those words to scare her. What a vicious girl! Mrs. Tao only hated herself for not realising Tan Jing’s evil intentions earlier.

Mr. Tao also sighed deeply and felt sorry for Tan Rou. Ever since his daughter came home, he always thought that she was obedient and sensible, so he didn’t need to worry about her. But he didn’t expect Tan Jing to be so arrogant behind her back. She was hoping that Tan Rou would be kicked out of the Tao family and suffer since she could never return to the Tan family.

Just now, Tan Jing almost let it slip. She said that Tao Qi was the most favored in the family. As long as he didn’t accept Tan Rou, Tan Rou wouldn’t be able to stay at home. This was clearly using Tao Qi to force Tan Rou to be estranged from their family!

Mr. Tao’s heart turned cold. He was completely disappointed in Tan Jing. After raising her for more than ten years, she turned out to be a snake. It was fine if she did not care about them, but she even turned around and harmed his own daughter. Tan Jing would not get any benefits from doing this. She was simply a beast that harmed others!

Father Tao looked at Tan Rou seriously and said, “Don’t worry. What Tan Jing said will never happen. Mom and dad promise you that you’ll be the most pampered child in our family in the future. If Tao Qi doesn’t give in, I’ll beat him up until he does!”

Mrs. Tao smiled as she wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. “That’s right! Rou’er, mom and dad will dote on you! We’ve all seen how well you treated Tao Qi. If you hadn’t broken in to save him tonight, he would’ve been dead long ago. Not only are you his sister, you’re also his life saviour. He wouldn’t dare to disobey you!”

Tan Rou looked at Mr. And Mrs. Tao, who were looking at her with guilt and love, and felt very touched. She had known about Tan Jing’s schemes for a long time and she believed that the Tao family would not treat her that way. Even Tao Qi was slowly convinced by Tan Rou.

However, when she heard Mr. and Mrs. Tao’s serious promise to treat her as the most pampered child in the family, Tan Rou still smiled happily. She truly felt her parents’ heartache for her. Everything she did was worth it.

Tan Rou nodded obediently. “Since, mom and dad will dote on me, I will dote on Tao Qi. None of us will feel left out then!”

Mrs. Tao looked at her daughter’s playful smile and liked it no matter how she looked at it. She wanted to give Tan Rou all the best things in the world.

When Tan Jing returned to the Tan family, she was so arrogant that her nose was already in the sky. She was eating Western food and was so proud as if she had eaten some immortal peach from the Gods. She did not realize it in the past but now that she looked at Tan Jing again, she was indeed someone that they would be ashamed of. The small Tan family had made her forget who she was.

When the time was right, she would give the best to Xiao Rou and let others see what a true daughter of a rich family looked like.

Mrs. Tao had already thought of which big name designers she would find to customize a gown for Tan Rou, as well as which chefs to make desserts for Tan Rou. Although Mrs. Tao didn’t want to admit it, she had indeed been provoked by Tan Jing.

She just couldn’t stand Tan Jing’s arrogant and useless acts. Rou ‘er was the real daughter of a rich family. She must let Rou’ er enjoy the best. She would return all the grievances to Tan Jing and slap her face hard!

Tan Rou didn’t know what Mrs. Tao was thinking. Otherwise, she would have complained, “Mom, didn’t you say you wanted to keep a low profile? I don’t want to be living such a high profile life!”
