203 203 Accidentally overhearing

“You’re one with tricks up your sleeves.” Tan Jing stopped Tan Rou on her way back to the classroom. Seeing that Tan Rou was gone, she had found an excuse to get rid of the teacher and waited for her here.

Tan Rou wanted to laugh when she saw Tan Jing’s angry expression. “Why do I see my defeated opponent stomping her feet here?”

“Tan Rou!” Tan Jing roared. “You b*tch!”

“Miss Tan, where are your manners? Why is it that every time you open your mouth, you start scolding people?” She didn’t want to talk nonsense with Tan Jing.

!!

“Get out of the way. A good dog would not block its owner’s way.”

“You dare to scold me? Tan Rou, you’re getting bolder these days!” Tan Jing said in disbelief.

“Not only am I bold enough to scold you, I don’t mind laying my hands on you as well.” Tan Rou pushed Tan Jing away.

“Don’t get in my way.” Tan Rou left Tan Jing behind and went back to class. At this time, she actually hoped that Wei Ling could come back. At least Wei Ling could disturb Tan Jing and stop her from her evil-doings in places where Tan Rou cannot see.

“Tan Rou!” Tan Jing swore that she would definitely destroy Tan Rou.

Tan Rou would not bring a bad mood home. She hoped that she and her family would be happy forever. The beautiful family atmosphere should not be destroyed by trash like Tan Jing.

“I’m back,” Every day when she returned home, Tan Rou would announce her return out loud. First, it was to inform everyone that she was home, and second, she wanted to get a response from her family.

Mrs. Tao, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the noise and immediately put out the stove. She wiped her hands and came out. “You’re back.”

“Mom.”

Tao Zheng also came out of his room. He had been working on his photoshoot for the past few days and had not had a good night’s sleep.

“Brother, have you decided on your photo for the competition?” Tan Rou asked with concern.

There were dark circles on Tao Zheng’s face and it was obvious that he hadn’t slept well. “Not yet. I want to take a few perfect shots, but I haven’t decided on the materials yet.”

“Wasn’t the landscape map that you took the last time pretty good?” Tan Rou asked.

Tao Zheng was not satisfied. “The angle, lighting, and color of the photo were all excellent, but I just feel like something is missing.”

At this moment, Tao Qi came out of the room. When he saw Tan Rou, he had a complicated expression on his face. Although the matter last time was resolved, he still felt awkward. Why would sister Jingjing send him such a photo?

Thinking of this, Tao Qi wanted to return to his room but Tan Rou quickly caught him. “Where are you going? It’s almost time for dinner.”

Tao Qi rolled his eyes. “Then, I’ll get dad for dinner.”

Tan Rou knew that Tao Qi had been used by Tan Jing, but it didn’t mean that she would let it go. Tan Rou didn’t want her family to be used by Tan Jing again, especially Tao Qi. He was only ten years old. If Tan Jing wanted to hurt him, it would be easy.

“I’ll go get dad. You go and help mom prepare the bowl and chopsticks.” Tan Rou said.

“Oh.” Tao Qi only wanted an excuse to slip away and he didn’t care what excuse he had to use.

Tao Zheng looked at his family and suddenly had an idea. He knew what was missing from the photos before.

On the other side, Tan Rou walked over to Father Tao’s study. The door wasn’t shut tightly, but she wouldn’t go in directly. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard Father Tao talking on the phone. Tan Rou heard his voice and decided to wait outside for a while. She would call him for dinner after her father finished his call.

“Yes, I can.” Mr. Tao’s usual warm and gentle image was replaced by a cold, domineering and sophisticated voice, unlike a small employee who worked hard in the company. “In short, you have to keep a close eye on the Tan family. Don’t ignore even the slightest movement. If you have to do it, do it cleanly so that they can’t make a comeback.”

Hearing her father’s words, a new image seemed to appear in Tan Rou’s mind. A middle-aged man in a suit was sitting on a leather sofa with a cigar in one hand and a phone call in the other, giving out his orders. With one simple command, another small company would vanish from the face of the earth.

Last time, the rare authentic artworks placed in the study had already made Tan Rou suspect that their family was secretly a wealthy family. This time, her father’s phone call made her even more convinced that their family wasn’t one that was simple.

So, did mom and dad really hide their identities and come here to live in seclusion? It seemed likely.

She smiled. If that was the case, would she be able to work a few decades less? No, no, no. The small flame of this idea was extinguished by her as soon as it popped out of her mind. She couldn’t have such a thought. She had to rely on herself. Hidden billionaire? That was merely just her assumption. It was more important to grasp what was in front of her.

After Mr. Tao hung up the phone, Tan Rou knocked on the door. “Dad, it’s time to eat.”

The person inside was obviously flustered and hurriedly packed up the documents on the table. “I know. You guys eat first, I’ll be right there.”

“Alright,” Tan Rou answered quickly.
