Tao Zhi didnât have time to waste on Zhu Ren. After Tan Ron gave her statement, they went straight back. On the way back, they even brought some snacks for Tian Tian.
It was almost the New Year, but her family was in trouble one after another. Madam Taoâs superstitious heart began to feel uneasy again. In recent years, she had been a vegetarian and chanted after Buddha, wanting to pray for her family. The older she got, the more she believed in the theory of ghosts and gods.
The old lady loved to eat meat when she was younger. In order to face Buddha devoutly, she endured a month without eating meat. It was obvious that she wanted to pray for her family.
After Tian Tian returned, Mother Tao and Madam Taoâs cold had also recovered. Madam Tao felt that there had been too many things that had not been going well at home recently, so she wanted to hold a charity banquet for charity and bring some good fortune to her family.
The family did not object and actively prepared the things needed for the banquet. As time was tight, the Tao family did not invite many guests. They were all people who had a good relationship with the Tao family.
When Tian Tian heard that there was going to be a banquet at home, she immediately jumped up from the bed. âWhen is it going to be held? What should I wear? Xiao Rou, what do you think of my velvet dress?â
Tan Rou was shocked by her actions and could not react for a long time. âDonât be too excited. Sit down and rest for a while. There are still three days before the banquet. We still have time to pick out our dresses.â
Tian Tian sat cross-legged on the bed and said sadly, âAlt Zhi wonât let me go out. He said that I should rest for a few days, but Iâm fine. If I donât go out, mushrooms will grow on my body.â
Tan Rou chuckled and gave her half of the peeled tangerines. âHe just wants you to have a good rest. Besides, arenât I here to accompany you now? With me accompanying you, will you still feel bored?â
Tian Tian shook her head and said, âI just feel that this is taking up too much of your time. Arenât you busy with a big project? Time should be very tight now, right? Because of my matter, youâve been delayed for so many days. I feel a little embarrassed.â
âTiantian, youâre my good friend and my sister-in-law, so weâre family.â Tan Rou comforted her.
âIn my heart, nothing is more important than family. If I had to choose again, I would still choose to look for you.â
Tian Tian was touched by her words. She hugged Tan Rou tightly and cried. âRourou, when you came to save me that day, I really wanted to cry but I was afraid that I would affect you, so I didnât dare to make a sound.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tan Rou hugged her. âItâs okay now. You can cry if you want to.â
Tian Tian wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled. âI donât want to cry anymore. With you, Ah Zhi, and Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma by my side, I feel very at ease. You donât have to worry that Iâll be sad or afraid. As long as I think of you, I wonât be afraid of anything.â
Tan Rou looked at Tian Tian and suddenly smiled. âBig Brotherâs worries are unnecessary. Youâre much more optimistic than him. I think he should be the one who needs someone to accompany him.â
Tian Tian smiled as well. âIf youâre free, you should talk to him as well. Heâs been frowning a lot these days.â
Tan Rou agreed. âAlright, Iâll keep an eye out.â
She thought for a moment and asked, âTiantian, do you want to pick out some jewelry for the banquet together?â
Tian Tian wanted to go, but the Tao family was very worried that she would be in danger. They had not allowed her to go out today. âBut I canât go out now.â
Tan Rou said, âWho said that we have to go outside to do so? Our family has a jewelry brand. As long as we make a call, the store will send the jewelry over for us to choose from.â
Tian Tianâs family was also rich, but they were not that overbearing. She was still looking forward to the scene of the jewelry being placed in front of her. âThen when can we do that?â
Tan Rou waved her phone. âAnytime.â
She made a phone call and the jewelry brand under the Tao family immediately brought over all the new designs for this year and sent them directly to Tan Rouâs Source Creek Manor.
There was a jewelry room in Source CreekManor. Tan Rou didnât use it usually, but now she could use it.
