61 061 A Family of Rascals
Tan Rou didn’t care anymore. “I’ve finished talking about what happened yesterday. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your business partners. I’m sure everyone knows about their performance yesterday. They were the ones who ruined the reputation of the Tan family. They’re doomed to destruction if they’re unjust. Instead of wasting your time questining me, you might as well pray for yourself!”
Tan Song also knew a few things on his own. He knew of Chen Yi’s temper. In the past, she had always offended some people outside. Others would usually tolerate it because of their family’s reputation. However, after a long time, it was inevitable that they would gossip.
When men worked hard outside, socializing with their wives was a form of support for the family, but Chen Yi had never been a good wife.
However, Tan Song never took this problem seriously. After all these years, he was too lazy to care about Chen Yi’s bad temper. By the time he noticed this, Chen Yi had become even worse and was not well-liked in the circle.
Tan Song could already imagine how Chen Yi was yesterday. He felt a headache coming. If this continued, the Tan family’s reputation would really be ruined. Those pampered ladies would discuss this with their husbands, and no one would be willing to work with Tan Song.
Now, Chen Yi and Tan Jing even dared to complain when they were the ones who stirred trouble for everyone else. They used Tan Song as a tool and asked him to come to the Tao family to question the other party. Thinking of this, Tan Son only felt embarrassed!
However, he was already standing in front of the Tao family’s door, and those words had already come out of his mouth. No matter what, he couldn’t let others see him as a joke.
Tan Song still pretended to be serious and made a firm appearance as the head of a family. “Even if they have done something wrong, you should remember the kindness we have shown you while raising you all these years. No matter what, she is someone older than you. You know her temper well. You should try to calm her down instead of provoking her!”
Tan Rou wanted to sneer. Tan Song was incredibly shameless and even considered himself an elder to Tan Rou.
Mrs. Tao’s eyes were filled with tears as she shouted emotionally, “Her elder? What kind of elder do you think you are to her?! Even if it were merely a pet dog or cat, no one would bear to starve their own pet for three whole days! My Rou ‘er! You have poorly treated my child, and you still have the nerve to come to my house! Get out of here!”
When Tan Rou heard her mother’s angry and trembling voice, she felt a burst of sourness in her heart. All the hardships she had suffered were already in the past. It was enough that she had such a loving mother who would love her with all her heart now.
Tan Song’s face was filled with embarrassment. After all, the two families had raised another family’s daughter. It was inevitable that there would be a comparison.
Tan Song had already told Chen Yi that although the Tao family was not rich, they were still willing to spend money on Tan Jing. She learned to dance and play the piano and was raised to be a lively young girl. She was also a little pampered. At first glance, one could tell she was a child who was doted on.
Even then, Chen Yi said that the Tao family was tactful and raised her daughter well. It was just that the Tao family was too poor, and her daughter had to suffer. Now, she must compensate Tan Jing and provide more for her own daughter.
But on second thought, Tan Rou’s life in the Tan family was unacceptable.
Not only was she not cared for properly, but they didn’t even care for her much after sending her abroad.
Therefore, as Tan Song stood in front of the tao family, Tan Song also felt that he was in the wrong. He was no longer as arrogant as before when he had first arrived.
Mrs. Tao screamed in rage. “All of you are black-hearted people! I’ve raised Tan Jing with love, but I ended up being betrayed in the end, and you get to enjoy the result. As for my own daughter, she has been living such a hard life. You bastards! Don’t you dare come to my house and say such things! I don’t want to see you ever again!”
There was nothing that Tan Song could say at this point. He felt enraged out of humiliation and snorted coldly, “You’re being unreasonable. Forget it! We wouldn’t want to be related to you as well! Don’t try to curry favor with our family!” With that said, he quickly returned to the car and left dejectedly.
Mrs. Tao glared at Tan Song as he left in his luxury car. She felt that she was not harsh enough. She should have scolded him and beaten him up to vent her anger! Mrs. Tao was so angry that she was panting. “What the hell was that?! They are a family of rascals!!!”
Tan Rou held onto mother Tao’s hand and comforted her silently. Mother Tao was gentle and virtuous and probably had never scolded anyone in her life. Now that she was forced to lose her composure, it was all before Tan Rou, which caused Tan Rou to be touched yet sad simultaneously.
Tears were rolling in Tan Rou’s eyes as well. Now that she had a family who cared for her and would cry for her, it was as if her broken heart had been cured. All the hardships in the past had been smoothed out.
Tan Rou held Mrs. Tao’s hand as they returned to the house. Then, she saw Tao Zheng standing at the door, staring at her with a serious look.
