44 044 The cheeky Zhuang Liu
Tan Jing was so angry that her eyes were red. She glared at Tan Rou and said, “So what if this hotel is his. You showed up at his hotel suite alone. Doesn’t that mean that your relationship with him is out of the ordinary?”
Tan Rou did not say anything. Xiao Mo, who was in the room, walked over. “What do you mean alone? Am I not human? Reporter Wang, you have to testify for me. I’m still here!”
Reporter Wang nodded. “Mr. Xiao and Mr. Zhuang were the ones who sent me the video just now. They invited me over to continue with the previous interview. I can prove it.”
When Tan Jing and Zhou Wu saw Xiao Mo walking out of the room, the words that they had prepared were all stuck in their mouths. They could not say anything else.
Tan Jing’s gaze was as if she wanted to kill Zhou Wu. Look at what you have done!
Zhou Wu was at a loss for words. At this moment, he had no more excuses. He indeed saw Tan Rou get into the VIP elevator, but he did not expect there to be three people in the room!
Tan Rou looked at the two of them calmly and admired the changing awkward expressions on their faces. She could not help but feel sorry for their stupidity.
When Tan Jing saw that the situation had escalated to this point, she felt ashamed. She was angry and embarrassed. Even the way she looked at Zhou Wu was filled with disgust. Had he not called her so excitedly, would she be shamed by Tan Rou now?
Tan Jing was a really “talented” person. Her attitude changed very quickly. She didn’t even mention the slander she had directed at Tan Rou just now. In an instant, she put on a fake smile and tried to probe Tan Rou, “Xiao Rou, so all of this is a misunderstanding.”
Zhuang Liu had been silent the whole time. Seeing that everyone was making a scene, his heart ached for Tan Rou even more. Although she had the upper hand, who were all these people around her? They were like bugs, not biting people, but constantly causing a nuisance to Tan Rou and disgusting her.
It was because of these people, Tan Rou would occasionally reveal a depressed and troubled side of herself.
During these few meetings, Zhuang Liu not only saw Tan Rou’s warm and powerful side. He was always silently watching Tan Rou, trying to guess her feelings.
At the Tan family ball, when he met Tan Rou again, he realized that this girl always revealed expressions that he could not understand from time to time. It was as if she was recalling something, but also as if she was just in a daze, her expression was ethereal, and it didn’t seem like an emotion that she should possess at this age.
Zhuang Liu couldn’t help but think, what exactly happened to her? What other things that he didn’t know of hurt her so much?
That state of Tan Rou made Zhuang Liu feel like he could never reach her, afraid that she would just disappear into nothingness by herself.
Fortunately, every time she revealed that expression, a determined expression that exuded vitality would soon ensue on Tan Rou’s face.
However, Zhuang Liu did not want to see Tan Rou in such a sad state anymore. He wanted Tan Rou to be by his side without any worries. Although he did not know what exactly happened, Zhuang Liu knew that all of this had something to do with Tan Jing and the Tan family.
Seeing how Tan Jing’s attitude could change in a blink of an eye, Zhuang Liu felt even more disgust in his heart.
Zhuang Liu raised his head and looked at Tan Rou’s expression. He realized that she was only laughing mockingly and was not actually affected by the ordeal. It was as if she was already used to Tan Jing’s drama.
Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Jing coldly, “Miss Tan, you kept accusing us of being indecent just now, and now you’re saying that it’s a misunderstanding. It seems like you can retract what you said in just a second. You’ve made a big joke out of yourself, and now you want to pass it off lightly? I didn’t know that the Tan family has such a family upbringing and taught such principles.”
As soon as Zhuang Liu finished speaking, Xiao Mo tacitly continued, “Third young master, you’ve forgotten that Miss Tan has just been reunited with the Tan family. It hasn’t been long.”
Zhuang Liu seemed to have just remembered, “Oh, that’s right, so that’s how it is. But I remember that the Tao family is gentle and polite. They wouldn’t have raised such a child. Seeing how Miss Tan is behaving, I’m afraid it’s just her genes acting up, and Uncle Tan hasn’t had the chance to teach her yet.”
Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Jing with a smile. “It’s a father’s fault for not teaching his children. I’ll remind Boss Tan not to forget his concern for Miss Tan.”
Tan Jing glared at Zhuang Liu angrily. “What do you mean?”
Xiao Mo said to Zhuang Liu with a smile, “Speaking of which, I remembered something. It’s really amazing. I love to raise flowers. Some flowers bloom beautifully no matter where they are planted.”
Then, Xiao Mo glanced at Tan Jing and continued, “But some flowers are wilting no matter how you nurture them. Their roots are rotten. In the past, I didn’t understand it. Later, the florist told me that this is a breed determined by genes. You can’t force it!”
Zhuang Liu nodded with a smile. “That’s true!”
