“It’s all because of you…” Xue Lin continued to accuse Tan Ron with her broken voice, “You refused to help us submit the project proposal, so that lunatic Hu Cheng had to work hard on the experiment, which led to the explosion. Do you think this is your fault?”

Hu Cheng was killed on the spot in the explosion. Xue Lin was the only one who survived the explosion. However, Xue Lin was too seriously injured to tell the truth. When the school investigated, they could only find out that Hu Cheng caused the disaster.

Tan Ron crossed her arms and said lazily, “Senior Lin, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. Your habit of spouting nonsense hasn’t changed. The explosion back then was caused by Hu Cheng. I didn’t make you fail the experiment, so please don’t talk nonsense.”

Before Xue Lin could retort, Tan Rou continued, “If your proposal was outstanding, the Tao family will naturally cooperate with you but your proposal is not that attractive. It is normal for it to be rejected.”

Xue Lin was furious. “If it wasn’t because you didn’t help us??? ”

She was too emotional. She had only spoken half a sentence when she started coughing violently.

The middle-aged woman comforted Xue Lin while blaming Tan Rou. “Little girl, our Miss is already badly injured. Why are you trying to anger her?” I don’t know what grudges you have between the two of you, but our young miss is a patient. I hope you can stop talking about her.”

This ability to twist the truth made the Tao family so angry that they laughed.

Mother Tao walked over to defend her daughter. “What you said is really interesting. My daughter already said that she didn’t cause the explosion, so you can’t blame her for it. Just because your young miss is a patient, did she have the right to be unreasonable? We were kind enough to move aside for you, but not only did you not leave, you even came to find trouble with us. How can this be right?”

Mrs. Tao was usually a gentle person but she does have a feisty temperament. When she was angry, even the all-powerful old master of the Tao family had to give her some face, let alone this nanny.

As expected, the middle-aged woman was frightened by Mrs. Tao’s aura, but she still said stubbornly, “There are more people on your side so we can’t say anything now. However, if our young miss gets sick because of you, then the Lin family in the Capital will definitely not let you off.”

Grandpa Tao and Grandma Tao had lived for a long time and seen all kinds of people. This was the first time they heard that someone wanted to kill them. And what was going on with the Lin family in the Capital? Could that small scale be considered a big family?

After all, the two elders were old. They were not willing to argue with these juniors. Thus, they said, “Xiao Rou, let’s go back quickly. Let’s not talk nonsense with them anymore.”

“I’ll wait at the Tao family’s house,” Tan Rou said mercilessly. “If the Lin family of the Capital wants to settle scores with us, let them come.”

When the middle-aged woman heard about the Tao family, she was also stunned. She just didn’t like how these people were rude to Xue Lin. She didn’t expect them to be from the Tao family.

However, there was nothing to be afraid of. Did the Tao family in the Capital think they could bully the weak?

“Do you think that you’re the most powerful in the entire city just because you’re the Tao family? If we expose the fact that you’re bullying the weak, you’ll definitely be scolded to death by the netizens,” the middle-aged woman said as she looked up.

“That’s up to you.” Tan Rou said lightly. With that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

However, Xue Lin stopped her again. This time, Xue Lin’s emotions seemed to have calmed down, but her voice was still very unpleasant, “Junior Xiaorou, wait a moment, I have something to say to you.”

“Xiao Rou, let’s go back quickly,” Mother Tao urged.

Tan Rou wanted to hear what Xue Lin had to say. So she said to Mrs. Tao, “Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, you should go back first. I will pick up Tao Qu when he arrives.”

“Then let’s go now,” said Mother Tao.

Tan Rou smiled. “Mom, she must have a lot of things to say to me. You guys can go back first. I’ll go back after I’m done talking to her.”

Mrs. Tao frowned. “Xiao Rou, what is there left to say?”

Tan Rou looked at Xue Lin, “That depends on what Senior Lin wants to say.”
