97 097 Father-daughter conversation
After saying that, Father Tao turned to look at tan Rou.
“Xiao Rou, your brother just came back. He might not be used to it yet. He used to be close to Tan Jing. Kids like him don’t know much about these things. Don’t take it to heart. You know how we treat you. We will talk to Tao Qi about this.”
Tan Rou wasn’t bothered by it. She was already mentally prepared and wouldn’t really get angry at Tao Qi.
“I understand. It’s normal for him to be unaccustomed to a new sister. Just take it slow. There’s no need to force him.”
Mrs. Tao felt even worse when she saw how sensible Tan Rou was. She blamed herself for not bringing Tan Rou back home earlier and causing the siblings to drift apart.
Mr. Tao nodded in satisfaction. “Come to my study room after dinner. I have something to discuss with you.”
Tan Rou obediently agreed.
Still in a fit of anger, Tao Zheng told Tan Rou, “That kid has a stubborn temper, so don’t get angry with him for now. If he causes a scene again, tell me and I’ll deal with him!”
Tan Rou smiled. “Thank you, brother. You’ve already accepted me. I’m sure Tao Qi will soon grow to like me as well.”
Hearing Tan Rou’s words, the other three finally relaxed. Tao Zheng smiled in embarrassment.
He couldn’t help but feel a little emotional when he thought of his previous malice toward Tan Rou.
At that time, he had a very magical intuition that this family would be destroyed by Tan Rou sooner or later. However, not long after, Tan Rou became better and better.
Now, Tao Zheng felt that Tan Rou’s return would make their family even more blissful.
Tan Rou looked at the three family members in front of her and made up her mind that she would never repeat the mistakes of her previous life!
Even though they weren’t that rich, they were so warm towards her. It was her arrival that disrupted their lives and caused them to end up in a tragic end.
It could be said that their encounter was an undeserved disaster. In this life, not only did she want to protect them, they also wanted them to be proud of her.
It would be a daydream if Tan Jing wanted to use Tao Qi to cause drama to this family!
Tan Rou would never allow anyone in the Tao family to be deceived and be used by Tan Jing, let alone her beloved younger brother.
If Tao Qi continued to be deceived by Tan Jing and was treating Tan Rou as an enemy, then her parents would be the ones who are heartbroken.
So she had to hurry and correct Tao Qi’s opinion about her. She secretly swore to herself that she would never allow her younger brother to be like her.
When the three of them finished their dinner, Mr. Tao silently gave Mrs. Tao a look. Mrs. Tao nodded in understanding and went to the kitchen to take out some food that she had left in advance. She was going to bring it to Tao Qi’s room so that she could have a talk with her.
Mr. Tao brought Tan Rou to the study room. This was the first time the father and daughter duo had such a formal conversation.
Mr. Tao sat in front of the table and motioned for Tan Rou to sit beside him. Then, he pondered for a moment, as if thinking about how to communicate with his daughter. It would always be more difficult to speak to those who are closest to them. As he was facing the daughter that he had finally found, Mr. Tao did not want to hurt her feelings because of insufficient communication.
Tan Rou sat obediently by the side and didn’t want to disturb him. She even took the opportunity to look around Father Tao’s study.
However, the more Tan Rou looked around the room, the more she felt that she had overlooked something.
Father Tao was usually very low-key and never wore any branded clothes or accessories. According to him, he was just a small employee and didn’t need to put on a show to waste his money.
The first time Tan Rou sold medicine to Bai Jing, she earned 200000 Yuan. She even bought Mr. Tao expensive tea leaves. That was the first time Tan Rou saw Mr. Tao had the urge to show off. He carefully divided the expensive tea leaves into several small bags and brought them to the company every day to make tea.
At first, Tan Rou only thought that Father Tao liked simplicity and was the typical China kind father. Secondly, the family’s conditions were limited. He had to raise so many children and was under so much pressure that he couldn’t bear to waste any of it.
She had also secretly made up her mind to share the burden with her parents as soon as possible so that they could live a comfortable life. That was why she registered an account in the stock market while selling the medicine.
But now, Tan Rou looked around Father Tao’s room and her heart trembled. Why did she see so many authentic cultural relics in Father Tao’s study?
Tan Rou blinked and she couldn’t believe her eyes. Those paintings were all made by masters and some of them were even national treasures.
Tan Rou had achieved relevant identification studies abroad. So, she was sure that this was the real deal.
However, some of the paintings in Tao’s study were very unpopular. Ordinary people would probably think that they were counterfeits or wouldn’t recognize them at all, treating them as common decorations.
Tan Rou suppressed how shocked she was and quickly calmed herself down. How did these priceless treasures appear in Father Tao’s study all at once? Could it be that the Tao family wasn’t as ordinary as they appeared to be and that they were hiding their true strength?
