94 094 Tao Qi’s thoughts
Mother Tao sighed helplessly. There were many children in the family and Tao Qi was the youngest. He was spoiled by the elders in the family to the point that he was lawless and knew how to act coquettishly.
Plus, Tan Jing was her favourite. If she wanted Tao Qi to accept Xiao Rou as his new sister, she would need to put in more effort but no matter what, Tao Qi had to admit that Xiao Rou was a part of the Tao family now!
Tao Qi hid in his mother’s arms and turned his head to smile at tan Rou smugly.
Tan Rou wasn’t angry at all and still returned Tao Qi a gentle smile.
‘You little brat, just wait and see. I’ll deal with you sooner or later!’
Just like that, Tan Rou had a secret fight with her fourth brother Tao Qi as soon as she got home.
Tao Qi didn’t hide his malice towards Tan Rou and showed great dislike for her. Tan Rou naturally had a deeper impression of this little brat who had taken a thief as his sister and he kept provoking her. She had thought of dozens of ways to deal with him.
However, the two of them had only just met and didn’t fight out of consideration for Mother Tao’s feelings.
For Mother Tao, it wasn’t easy for her to find her real daughter and it was rare as well for her youngest son to return home. This was the happiest moment of her life. Although Tao Qi was a young boy, he still knew that he had considered Mother Tao’s feelings.
It was the same for Tan Rou as well. She didn’t want Mother Tao to worry about the quarrels and fights between the siblings like she did in her previous life.
Tan Rou didn’t continue bickering with Tao Qi. She spoke with Mother Tao for a bit before returning to her room with the herbs. While Father Tao was still at home for dinner, Tan Rou wanted to use the remaining time to start working on the herbs.
Seeing that Tan Rou had returned to her room, Mother Tao worriedly told Tao Qi, ” You have to be good and stop thinking about Tan Jing. Xiao Rou is your real sister. She’s really good and has become more sensible. You’ll like her after some time.”
Tao Qi wasn’t too happy about what he was hearing. “I will never like her! Big brother has told me about the things she did before. I hate her. Sister Jing Jing is the best!”
Mrs. Tao sighed helplessly. “Then, did your brother tell you anything about what happened recently? Your sister, Xiao Rou, has suffered a lot in the past. It’s normal that all of these are unacceptable toher. She’s been very well-behaved recently and I’m happy. If you’re a good son of mine, you’re not allowed to say such things again!”
Tao Qi frowned. He hadn’t called his brother in a long time. The last time they talked was when Tan Rou had just returned home.
Tao Qi may be the youngest but he was still a member of the Tao family, he had heard from Tao Zheng that he had a new sister. Tao Zheng couldn’t help but tell him about what she had done back then.
However, Tao Qi didn’t believe that Tan Rou had become very obedient all of a sudden.
She could lie to her parents and her brother but she will never be able to lie to him!
He had already heard from Sister Jingjing that Tan Rou was becoming more and more cunning. This was all an act!
Tao Qi lowered his head, unwilling to agree to his mother’s request.
Inside his heart, Sister Jingjing was the best and she would not lie to him. He must tear Tan Rou’s mask apart and not let his family be deceived by her lies!
Just like that, Tao Qi inexplicably felt a sense of duty and was even more motivated to compete with Tan Rou.
Tao Qi thought to himself, ‘I’ll definitely make Tan Rou look like a fool and force her to reveal her true and most vicious side. By then, my family will naturally know who they should consider as family and Sister Jingjing will be able to come back!’
The young boy’s thoughts were naive. He had not yet seen through his sisters’ abilities and was still immersed in the lie that Tan Jing had weaved for him.
Seeing the stubbornness on her son’s face, Mother Tao knew that she couldn’t rush things. So, she didn’t say anything else. She just wanted her children to spend more time together.
Tan Rou was much better than Tan Jing, that ungrateful villain. Her son was a smart boy and he would definitely understand.
After a while, Father Tao got off work and came home.
As soon as he entered the house, Tao Qi jogged into his father’s arms and acted like a spoiled child. “Dad, did you miss me?”
Mr. Tao threw down his briefcase and caught his son, grinning from ear to ear. “Of course I do, you little brat. You’ve become much heavier!”
Tao Qi grinned. “I’m all grown up now. I can help both of you chase away the bad guys!”
The bad person Tao Qi was referring to was naturally Tan Rou but father Tao didn’t realize it and thought that this was just a joke. So, he played along and said, “Good, good, good! Xiao Qi is the best and you will definitely be able to protect us.”
Tao Qi waved his fist in his father’s arms, full of fighting spirit.
Mrs. Tao looked at the father and son who were close to each other.
Their children were all grown up and only Tao Qi still acted coquettishly like a child, which made her husband, who was usually quiet, a lot more cheerful.
