Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 34

034 Secret in the Tao family

Xiao Mo watched from the side. For some reason, he felt envious of the couple.

Bai Jing smiled in satisfaction. “I knew that you’re a kind-hearted girl. I didn’t misjudge you. Then I’ll leave this matter to you!”

At this moment, Bai Jing no longer had the depressed and dejected look from before. When he heard Tan Rou agree, he smiled from ear to ear and his eyes were nowhere to be seen.

Tan Rou finally understood that Bai Jing was deliberately baiting her. So that she would take pity on Zhuang Liu and take the initiative to offer to treat his illness.

Tan Rou smiled helplessly. “Uncle Bai, you’re really something else. Do you really trust me to handle it?”

Bai Jing calmly stroked his beard. “Little friend, when the mountains are barren and the rivers run dry, any path out is a path of survival. And now you’re our hope, so I’ll entrust Xiao Liu to you. Don’t worry, I’ll aid you along the way.”

Tan Rou could only nod her head and agree. She silently complained in her heart. It was just treating a patient, not getting married. Why would there be a need for him to entrust him to me?

Zhuang Liu’s mood was so good that he did not look like a patient. His eyes were sparkling as he looked at Tan Rou. He was so happy. No matter what, Tan Rou has indeed always been his light. With her presence, there was hope.

Tan Rou took out the spices she prepared and handed them to Bai Jing. “Uncle Bai, I went home and made some extra for you.”

Before Bai Jing could say anything, Xiao Mo asked anxiously, “Is it the calming incense that you gave Third Young Master just now? Please sell some to us. Third Young Master needs a good night’s sleep.”

Bai Jing nodded in agreement. “This incense is indeed very good for Xiao Liu. It’s also helpful in the process to detoxify him.”

Zhuang Liu said to Tan Rou, “Your incense is really good. Please give it all to me. I’ll pay you together with the treatment fee.”

Zhuang Liu turned his head to indicate to Xiao Mo.

Tan Rou thought about it. This incense was originally meant for Bai Jing to resell to people who needed it. Zhuang Liu’s current situation caused him to heavily rely on her incense to calm his mind.

Thus, Tan Rou readily agreed. “That works as well. Then it’ll be included in the treatment fee. You just have to pay me the fee for one portion. This poison probably requires several treatment courses. In the future, you can pay me each time.”

Xiao Mo hurriedly took the spices and took out his phone to transfer the money to Tan Rou.

Tan Rou looked at the newly transferred one million dollars on her phone and was a little surprised. “There’s no need for so much!”

Zhuang Liu smiled. “You still need to spend money to buy medicinal herbs. Just keep it. Otherwise, I won’t be able to feel at ease.”After saying that, he looked at Bai Jing.

Bai Jing understood him, “That’s right, little friend. Usually, the treatment fee he gives me is about the same as this. Don’t worry, this brat is very rich. His life is very precious. Milk him as much as you can.”

Tan Rou couldn’t help but laugh at Bai Jing’s words. Normally, the image of a divine doctor was one who didn’t care about money. However, Bai Jing was straightforward when it came to making money. Since he said that, there was no need for her to be embarrassed anymore.

Thus, she nodded her head obediently. “Then I’ll keep it. I’ll definitely do my best.”

As the saying goes ‘Accepting one’s money to help him eliminate his woes’ Tan Rou made up her mind that she would definitely help Zhuang Liu cure his illness. Moreover, Tan Rou saw Zhuang Liu looking at her with a smile. It was rare for her to feel shy. Moreover, he was so good-looking, gentle, and rich. She could not bear to see him suffer.

Both parties exchanged contact details. They agreed to meet up for a consultation once Tan Rou had some clues on how to approach his treatment.

Tan Rou bid farewell politely and went home first.

When she returned home, Tan Rou went up to Mother Tao and handed over 500,000 yuan. “Mom, I’ve accepted a patient. Use this for expenses in the family.”

Mother Tao said hesitantly, “Rou Rou, we have enough to get by. Don’t tire yourself out too much.”

Tan Rou shook her head obediently. “Mom, I’m not tired. Just keep it.”

After saying that, Tan Rou happily went back to her room.

Mother Tao looked at the long list of account statements on her phone and frowned. She quickly went to the study and handed it to Father Tao, who was reading a book. “Look!”

Father Tao raised his head in confusion. “What’s wrong? More Money? I’ve already told them not to hand me any more dividends. When will I be able to spend it all!”

Mother Tao patted Father Tao’s shoulder angrily. “What! Rou Rou probably thought that the family was really going under and went out to take on another job. She just transferred 500,000 Yuan to me!”

Father Tao let out an “Aiya” and was also in a bit of a dilemma. The family didn’t lack money at all. In fact, they were so rich that it is almost becoming a burden. Because of some unknown reasons, he and his wife didn’t want to interfere in the business anymore. They only wanted to live their lives quietly and peacefully. They didn’t even tell their children about their wealth.

However, Tan Rou was so obedient and sensible. She even took the initiative to look for a job to help the family earn money. Father Tao really felt sorry for her. They finally reunited with her, they could not bear to see her work so hard.

Mother Tao spoke of Tao Zheng’s secret fondness for cameras a few days ago. She sighed repeatedly. “Ah Zheng thought that we didn’t have money, so he didn’t even dare to say it. We almost ruined the child’s dreams!”

Father Tao understood that maybe they had hidden it too well for all these years, causing their children to worry for them. “Then what should we do?”
