Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1179: She’s still a child

Tan Rou’s buried memories were jogged open by these two words. If Zhuang Liu hadn’t mentioned it, Tan Rou would have almost forgotten she had a sister named Tao Yue. However, Tao Yue was no good at heart and had been driven out of the Tao family long ago.

Second Aunt Tao did once feel pity for her adopted daughter and even visited her, but Tao Yue harbored deep hatred for the Tao family, especially for Tan Rou, and constantly cursed Tan Rou and the other family members.

Second Aunt Tao eventually became disappointed and never visited Tao Yue again, leaving her to her own devices, not even knowing if Tao Yue was still alive, since she had never returned to the Tao family.

“So, she’s a friend of Tao Yue’s, no wonder,” Tan Rou said scornfully, “Tao Yue is a lunatic. I suppose those who hang out with her can’t be normal either.”

“Who are you calling a lunatic?” Yu Xian shouted, “It’s all because of you, this malicious woman! If you hadn’t driven Yue Yue away, she would still be the eldest daughter of the Tao family now!”

“Sorry, but I am the eldest daughter of the Tao family,” Tan Rou said, “Even if Tao Yue were still in the Tao family, she could only be the Second Miss, never the eldest.”

The current Yu Xian wasn’t much smarter than Meng Xiao used to be, always defending Tao Yue as soon as her name was mentioned. Unfortunately, Meng Xiao had already reformed, while Yu Xian was still struggling in the mire.

“Shut up, just shut up!” Yu Xian, clearly not the brightest, even knowing what Tao Yue had done, still defended her, “In my heart, only Tao Yue is the real eldest daughter of the Tao family, you impostor, I will teach you a lesson sooner or later!”

“Slap—” a loud slap bloomed on Yu Xian’s face. After being struck, she instinctively covered her face, taking a long time to speak: “You… you dare hit me?”

Li Li shook her right hand and said, “Didn’t you say you were going to teach Tan Rou a lesson? Now you can see who is teaching whom a lesson.”

Tears instantly filled Yu Xian’s eyes, and she blubbered, “You hit me, I’m going to tell my uncle.”

“And who is your uncle?” Li Li said disdainfully, “Your family sure has a lot of relatives, huh? Are your aunt and your aunty also going to show up soon?”

Zhuang Liu did know Yu Xian’s uncle, and he introduced him, saying, “You might know Yu Xian’s uncle, he’s very good at directing youth campus and ancient romance dramas, nicknamed ‘Mama Yu’ because he always adds a very dominant mother character in the stories.”

Tan Rou looked at Zhuang Liu in surprise, “How do you know all this?”

Zhuang Liu felt a moment of tension. He couldn’t exactly say he had crammed school dramas because he wanted to shoot a perfect campus dating vlog.

“I heard it from your brother. The day I was looking for a cameraman, he started talking about the director’s information, so I remembered it,” he explained.

“Well, that’s quite a coincidence,” Li Li said, “If it were me, I certainly wouldn’t remember that clearly. Brother Zhuang Liu, you have a good memory.”

“Yeah,” Zhuang Liu said proudly, “My memory is indeed quite good.”

Tan Rou didn’t want to expose Zhuang Liu’s lie; she guessed that he had been secretly watching something over those days, probably dramas on television, but he didn’t want anyone else to know.

Actually, Zhuang Liu’s behavior could be quite adorable at times, like how he loved sweets and would secretly watch TV dramas, which didn’t match the image he portrayed at all.

Just as they were speaking, several people hurried over, led by a middle-aged man in a tank top vest who bore some resemblance to Yu Xian, and he must be Yu Xian’s uncle.

Yu Xian’s uncle, Yu Zhen, was quite famous in the industry, with many people seeking him out to direct TV dramas every year.

“Mr, Zhuang, Miss Rou, please don’t be angry with us. Our Xian Xian is immature, and we hope you can forgive her!” Yu Zhen called out as soon as he saw Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou, “Xian Xian is just a child, please don’t mind her!”

Upon hearing Yu Zhen’s words, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu felt their molars starting to ache; although Yu Xian was Tao Yue’s friend, she was several years older than Tao Yue, seemingly twenty-seven this year. A twenty-seven-year-old child, that really is rare.
