Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

124 124 They’ll Have To Be Biological Siblings

The scene was a little awkward for a moment. Tan Jing had an extremely bad look on her face but she was too embarrassed to lose her temper in front of everyone. She could only force a smile and act as if she was closer to Tao Qi. “Hehe, Xiao Qi, why don’t you quickly thank your sister? She’s being so considerate.”

Tan Jing had thought that after she said this, Tao Qi would still refute loudly like before, saying that Tan Rou was not his sister. That way, at least she could save her dignity.

But unexpectedly, Tao Qi blinked and paused. Although he was a little reluctant, he still looked up at Tan Rou and said weakly, “Thank you.” Then, he avoided her gaze and called Tan Rou his ‘sister’ in a very soft voice.

To Tao Qi, he had already called Tan Rou ‘sister’ a long time ago. This time, it was indeed Tan Rou who was concerned and was trying to help him, but Tan Rou was misunderstood by Sister Jingjing’s classmates. It was nothing much for him to call her ‘sister’ and thank her sincerely.

Although Tao Qi was still young, he knew how to be polite and wouldn’t lie on purpose about this kind of thing. He also wouldn’t give Tan Rou the attitude he used to.

However, when Tao Qi said ‘thank you’ and called Tan Rou his ‘sister’, Tan Jing couldn’t hold on to her mask anymore. She couldn’t help but stare at Tao Qi with her eyes wide open, as if trying to figure out if Tao Qi had been replaced. The uneasiness in her heart gradually grew. What was going on with Tao Qi?

Tan Rou glanced at Tan Jing indifferently. “I’m his sister. It’s my duty to think for him. You don’t have to ask him to thank me.”

The meaning of her words was probably to ask who Tan Jing thought she was. Why did she ask Tan Rou’s own brother to thank her?

Tan Jing couldn’t say a word. She opened her mouth awkwardly, but she couldn’t win against Tan Rou.

The students around them also felt that the situation was inexplicably awkward. They had all come to witness the relationship between Tan Jing and her younger brother. After all, in the classroom during the day, Tan Jing had said thatTan Rou and her brother were not in a good relationship and had even advised Tan Rou to be nice. But now, it seemed that the relationship between her brother and Tan Rou was not bad!

Moreover, Tan Jing didn’t seem to care much about her brother. It was Tan Rou, whom Tan Jing said didn’t love her brother and made the Tao parents sad, that silently protected her brother.

In comparison, Tan Jing was the one who only spoke without doing anything.

Sure enough, they had to be blood-related siblings. Tan Jing’s words during the day were indeed a little suspicious of sowing discord. It was no surprise that Tan Rou got angry.

These girls secretly pouted. They felt that Tan Jing’s words were not very credible now. She might be spouting nonsense, causing them to think that Tan Rou was really abusing her brother.

Feeling bored, the few girls bid goodbye disinterestedly and left. Their attitude towards Tan Jing was far less intimate than when they had come out together.

Tan Jing clenched her fists tightly. Her face was about to crack, but she still wanted to pretend that nothing had happened. She looked particularly twisted and strange. She glared in the direction where the girls left and cursed in his heart, ‘Fence-sitters! Their attitudes changed faster than how they flip through a book! Do they think that I’m a joke? Sooner or later, they’ll have to suck up to me!’

At this moment, Tan Rou saw the extremely ugly look on her face and she burst out laughing.

With no one around, Tan Jing stopped pretending. She gradually revealed an angry and ferocious expression. “Tan Rou, did you do it on purpose again?”

Tan Rou snorted. “I don’t understand what you’re saying. I care about my brother. What do you mean by me doing this ‘intentionally’? ”

Tan Jing suppressed her voice, and it was no longer as gentle as it was in front of others. “You know what I’m talking about! I really didn’t expect you to be so sinister, deliberately waiting for an opportunity to undermine me!”

Tan Rou smiled slightly and looked at Tan Jing meaningfully. “If we’re going to talk about how things are done intentionally, you’ve also dug all kinds of traps for me in advance. I didn’t jump in as you’d wished but you can’t blame me for that.”

Tao Qi’s eyes widened. He didn’t know what Sister Jingjing and tan Rou were talking about. Why was Sister Jingjing looking like this? It was so unfamiliar and even a little scary.

However, Tao Qi still had a deeper relationship with Tan Jing and sided with her in his heart. He weakly reached out his little hand and tugged at Tan Jing’s clenched fist. He glared at Tan Rou. “Don’t bully Sister Jingjing!”

Tan Rou lowered her eyes and snorted when she saw Tao Qi trying to speak up for Tan Jing despite being a little scared.

But in the end, she didn’t want to scare Tao Qi, so Tan Rou simply said, “Go and have dinner with your Sister Jingjing, little idiot!” With that, she turned around and left without looking back.
