Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

179 179 Who else could it be if not her ?

Tao Qi’s eyes widened as he looked at Tan Rou in a daze. He muttered, “She won’t. Although you’ve always bullied Sister Jingjing, and she might hate you or dislike you. She’s very kind. She wouldn’t…..”

Tan Rou shrugged her shoulders. She wouldn’t tell her parents about these things, but to Tao Qi, who was still deceived by Tan Jing, Tan Rou still patiently explained, “If you still believe in her kindness, then I have nothing to say. The people who framed me were from the Wei family who got the instructions from the Tan family; even Director Wang, who wanted to convict me, said that it was the Tan family’s doing.”

Tan Rou didn’t exaggerate and simply told the truth. Even though Tao Qi was young, he could feel that something was wrong.

Tan Rou continued, “If tan Jing was really innocent and didn’t know anything about this, why did she tell you all about this in such a hurry? In her heart, she probably thinks that I have no abilities to change the situation that I was in.

Tao Qi knew that Tan Rou’s suspicion was reasonable. Sister Jingjing’s behaviour today was indeed too suspicious. She was not like her at all.

He knew that Tan Rou’s academic results were very good, but Sister Jingjing had no idea about it. Back then, it was sister Jingjing who told him that Tan Rou was good for nothing and that she was a bad student.

What if she deliberately framed Tan Rou for cheating under such circumstances?

Tao Qi didn’t dare to think any further. He felt that Tan Jing’s gentle and beautiful image was slowly crumbling in his mind.

Why did Sister Jingjing do this? However, the evidence was so obvious. If it wasn’t her, who else could it be?

Tao Qi didn’t even have time to resist Tan Rou messing up his hair. His little face was scrunched up, and he stood in place dejectedly.

Tan Rou smiled and lifted the food she had packed from the Clearwater Pavilion. She gestured to Tao Qi. “Don’t think too much about it. Do you want to eat something delicious? I specially brought it back for you.”

Tao Qi looked at the bag, not in the mood.

Tan Rou deliberately teased him. “There’s a dish made from bamboo shoots, steamed pork ribs, milk and lotus seed soup… It smells so good. If you like it, I’ll take You there next time. There’s a large bamboo forest there, and you can even go into the river to catch fish.”

Tao Qi’s eyes lit up. He stared at Tan Rou and was a little tempted.

For children of his age, this kind of place that was close to nature allowed them to release their nature and feel at ease.

Mrs. Tao had finished making the pear soup and was carefully bringing it out. Seeing the siblings still standing there, she asked with a smile, “What secret are you two talking about? Xiao Qi was just about to get close to me. Your sister just came back, don’t pester her! Come and have some soup!”

Tao Qi snorted coldly. “I’m not pestering her! I’m going to eat!”

After saying that, he ran to the dining table and looked at Tan Rou with a proud expression.

Tan Rou nodded with a smile, knowing that the little devil had agreed to eat. She brought the food to the table and replied, “I brought him some delicious food from outside. Let him eat it with the pear soup.”

Mrs. Tao was pleased. “Look at how much your sister cares about you. I don’t know what’s wrong with this brat. He’s been so depressed the whole night and didn’t even eat much. Now that your sister is home, do you feel relieved now?!”

Tao Qi’s face reddened and he started to scream, “I didn’t, I didn’t! Don’t say another word!!!”

Tan Rou and Mother Tao looked at each other and smiled. They were both amused by Tao Qi’s two-faced look.

The atmosphere in the Tao family was gradually getting on the right track, and there was warmth everywhere. Tao Qi’s obsession with Tan Jing was also crumbling bit by bit, and it was only a matter of time before he put down his awkwardness and accepted Tan Rou.

However, the atmosphere at the Tan family’s side was strange.

Tan Jing sat silently on the sofa with his head lowered. She unconsciously fiddled with her hands and was so nervous that she did not dare to speak.

Tan Song and Chen Yi were sitting on the other side. Chen Yi looked at Tan Jing with resentment.

Tan Song answered the principal’s phone call impatiently as if the word ‘unhappy’ was written all over his body. He perfunctorily agreed with the principal’s description of what happened during the day.

The principal said bluntly, “The Tan family’s behavior is indeed not in line with the school’s purpose and philosophy. As the investor, you have indeed provided help to the construction of the school, but this can not be a privilege for you and your child in the school. The opportunity for education should be fair. Accusing others is a problem of moral quality!”

Tan Song really did not want to listen to this kind of education. Now, he only felt that the principal was looking for trouble. However, he could only agree to what the principal was saying, “Yes, that’s true. I’ll educate her.”
