271 271 Acting Pitiful

Since she had nothing to do, Tan Rou flipped through the money in her account. The money from her medical treatment, the money from the stock market, and the money from selling incense pills added up to a few million. She planned to use some of this money to improve her family’s life.

However, she still had a sum of money that she had not decided on how to use. It was compensation for the incident that had previously caused a stir-up on the internet. At that time, Tan Rou had sued many people. It was not practical to send them all to prison. Moreover, she did not have time to go to court one by one. In the end, she simply chose to accept the apology and compensation.

Looking at a large amount of compensation, Tan Rou sighed. “People are really rich these days. Just the compensation alone has reached seven figures. I guess they’re afraid of Zhuang Liu.”

Zhuang Liu was the one who handled these issues for her. Presumably, those people were afraid of Zhuang Liu. She did not know if Tan Jing had told them that the other protagonist was Zhuang Liu when she looked for those people. She probably didn’t do so.

!!

Tan Rou didn’t want to use the money. She hadn’t thought of how to deal with it yet.

Tan Rou’s high school was very close to Tao Qi’s primary school. After school at noon, Tao Qi waited for Tan Rou to finish school together. He even bought snacks for Tan Rou as compensation for the past.

The last lesson was physics. After the physics teacher finished the lesson, he explained another physics competition question. Tan Rou had already learned it long ago, so she buried her head and wrote the physics question herself. As she wrote, she was engrossed in it and looked at one more question. When school ended, she was only halfway through the second question.

“Xiao Rou, aren’t you going to leave?” Li Li packed her bag.

Tan Rou buried her head in her questions. “I’ll leave after I finish this question.”

Li Li was in a hurry to go home for dinner. “I’ll be leaving first, then.”

Tan Jing was in a bad mood today and left right after school. When she reached the gates, she saw a familiar figure under the tree.

Isn’t that Tao Qi? Who was he waiting for? Was he waiting for her?

Tan Jing actually regretted what happened last time. She could have used Tao Qi. Although he couldn’t cause too much harm to Tan Rou, he could still make her feel disgusted from time to time.

It was all Tan Song’s fault for insisting that she make a decision quickly. She had said the wrong thing at that time. Now that Tao Qi has come to look for her, she has decided to give him a second chance.

“Xiao Qi, why didn’t you go home after school?” When most of the students had left, Tan Jing smiled warmly and went over. “I’ll send you back. You can take my car.”

When Tao Qi saw her, he had a look of disdain on his face and completely ignored her.

Tan Jing was embarrassed. Although many people had left, there were still some classmates who knew her. This kid actually embarrassed her in public. She couldn’t take it.

“Xiao Qi, I’m talking to you. Why are you ignoring me?” Tan Jing had a smile on her face. “Is this for your sister? You’re such a good boy! You even remembered to bring a snack.”

“You wish.” Tao Qi placed his hands behind his back. “This isn’t for you. This is for my sister. You bad woman, stop talking to me!”

When the surrounding students heard this, they were no longer in a hurry to go home. They carried their bags and stopped to watch the show.

Tan Jing had been badly embarrassed the entire day. She was surrounded everywhere she went and was extremely annoyed. Now that this child had given her a hard time, she couldn’t keep her face and became angry. Hence, she vented her anger on the Tao family.

“Xiao Qi, how can you say that?” Tan Jing said in a hurt tone, “‘Although I’m not your biological sister, I’ve treated you like a younger brother. I even bought you toys and a lot of food. Have you forgotten all those? Things came back when your biological sister went home. Back then, we used to be close.”

Tao Qi was indeed a little relaxed. Just as he was hesitating, Tan Rou came out.

“Tan Jing, what are you doing? You’ve hurt Xiao Qi once. Do you want to hurt him again?” Tan Rou chided.

Hearing Tan Rou’s voice, Tao Qi reacted and distanced himself from Tan Jing. “You bad woman!”

Tan Jing’s anger was indescribable. It was Tan Rou again. Why was she everywhere? She must have said something to Tao Qi that night. Otherwise, Tao Qi wouldn’t have called her a bad woman the moment they met.

“Xiao Rou, how could you do this?” Tan Jing’s eyes reddened. “Although we’re not related by blood, I still treated Xiao Qi as my younger brother. He may be your younger brother but he’s also my younger brother!”
