Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 140 - 140 140 On Speaker

140 140 On Speaker

Mrs. Tao let out a heavy sigh. She didn’t know what to do with Tan Jing, who was once her daughter. Their mother-daughter relationship of more than ten years was cut off in one day. Even if Mrs. Tao knew that Tan Jing’s thoughts were not right and she hated her to the core, she couldn’t accept it when she thought that Tan Jing might have intentionally harmed Tao Qi.

Tan Rou could tell that Mrs. Tao was upset. She put her arm around Mrs. Tao’s shoulders, feeling sorry for her. Although she hoped that her family could see Tan Jing’s true colors and not be deceived by her mask of weakness, she still felt bad every time she saw Tao Qi’s conflicted expression and Mrs. Tao’s disappointed expression.

However, it couldn’t be helped. It was better to suffer a short pain than a long one. This was something that would happen sooner or later. It was better to be sad now than to be deceived by Tan Jing in the future.

Tan Rou consoled her mother softly and said to her parents considerately, “I’ll give Tan Jing a call. You guys go in and keep Little Qi company. I’ll talk to her.”

!!

In fact, Tan Rou was afraid that if Tan Jing was really the one who did this. But, if Mr. And Mrs. Tao heard what she said over the phone, they would be so angry that it may even affect their health. So, if Tan Rou was the one who spoke to Tan Jing, at least she would be prepared. If Tan Jing really did this unscrupulously, she would take revenge behind Mr. And Mrs. Tao’s back and not let them be sad for nothing.

To her surprise, even though Mrs. Tao was upset, she managed to calm down very quickly. With a serious expression, she said firmly, “No, I’ll be here. I want to see what she has to say. Xiao Rou, mom is a strong woman. There’s nothing that I can’t accept.”

At this moment, Mrs. Tao didn’t look like a weak and helpless housewife at all. The light in her eyes was soul-stirring. Although there were still traces of tears on her face, it didn’t affect her strength in the slightest. The softness and strength of a mother were perfectly displayed on Mrs. Tao’s body, and it reminded tan Rou of the Tao family’s true power. From the looks of it, not only was her father powerful, even her mother, who was usually a gentle woman who made soup every day, was no ordinary person!

Mr. Tao stepped forward and held Mrs. Tao in his arms. He didn’t say anything, only nodded at Tan Rou, indicating that Tan Rou should respect Mrs. Tao’s decision. The two of them stayed behind to listen to what Tan Jing had to say about this.

Tan Rou could only nod, take out her phone, and dial Tan Jing’s number. She turned on the speaker so that Mr. And Mrs. Tao could hear her.

The phone rang for a while and Tan Jing picked up the call. She was a little confused as to why Tan Rou would call so late. She asked in a strange tone, “Tan Rou? Why are you looking for me so late at such hours?”

Tan Rou’s tone was cold, and she didn’t want to waste time talking to Tan Jing. “Where did you bring Tao Qi to? Was it Western food?”

Tan Jing didn’t expect Tan Rou to call to ask about this. She assumed that Tao Qi might have listened to her and made things difficult for Tan Rou after he got home. Although Tao Qi didn’t show anything at the restaurant, it was possible that the child was thin-skinned and didn’t want to show it in front of her. However, as soon as he returned home, he couldn’t help showing it off to Tan Rou. Tan Rou must have been upset and angry which was why she called her.

Tan Jing was proud of herself and she didn’t expect Mr. And Mrs. Tao to be listening at the side. She thought that Tan Rou was hiding to call her out of jealousy which was why she couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore. Her tone became even more eccentric. “I thought that it would actually be important. I’m so sorry. I’m rich now, so….. of course I’ll bring my brother to enjoy delicacies. Unlike you, you must’ve spent a lot in high-end Western restaurants in the past. It’s a pity that you’ve become poor now after returning to the Tao family and you won’t have the chance to eat those again!”

Tan Jing continued to mock him. “I just brought Tao Qi out to experience something that you can never experience. You don’t have to be angry. If you’re jealous, I can treat you next time, haha!”

Tan Rou was not affected by Tan Jing’s words. She sneered. “So you were doing it for Tao Qi? You must’ve put in a lot of effort just to bring him out to a fancy place?”

Tan Jing didn’t hear the hidden meaning in Tan Rou’s words and was still proud of what she did. “Of course! Tan Rou, let me tell you, don’t be delusional. Tao Qi only recognizes me as his sister. I can bring him out for expensive food and even buy him luxurious gifts. I have the Tan family as my support and I will never run out of money. You can just stay in that poor Tao family and be envious in silence. You will never be able to get to the glory you had in this life!”

Tan Rou’s face was cold but she was unwilling to pay attention to Tan Jing’s smug face. Only a vain person like Tan Jing would think that Tan Rou would still be obsessed with the power of the Tan family. One would only be considered strong if they could depend on themselves. This was something that Tan Jing will never understand.
