Tao Qi lowered his head and fell into confusion.
Tan Jing was still immersed in the sense of superiority the high-end Western restaurant gave her and didnât notice that Tao Qi was already distracted.
Tan Jing saw that they were almost done eating and wanted to continue to win Tao Qi over. âLittle Qi, although I am no longer in the Tao family, Iâm still a member of the family. My heart is still with you guys. Contact me more often when you have time, and I can even invite you out to play. Would you like that?â
Tao Qiâs thoughts were interrupted by Tan Jingâs words. He didnât hear her clearly and only squeezed out a smile perfunctorily. âOf course I am.â However, it was obvious that his mood was not as high as when he first saw Tan Jing.
!!
Tan Jing frowned in confusion. She really couldnât understand what Tao Qi was thinking right now. Unwilling to give up, she continued to sow discord. sigh, âIâm really worried about you. Tan Rou told me at school that day that she didnât care if you were going home or not. She even said that I had bad intentions towards you. What a great injustice. Xiao Qi, weâve been siblings for so many years, you know me well. I donât expect Tan Rou to treat me well but you canât misunderstand me too!â
Tan Jing was afraid that Tan Rou would be slowly influencing Tao Qi. In order to prevent Tan Rou from talking bad about her behind her back, Tan Jing might as well tell Tao Qi about it first. This way, no matter what Tan Rou said, Tao Qi would subconsciously think of what she said.
Tao Qi furrowed his brows. He was about to faint.
According to Sister Jingjing, Tan Rou didnât care about him at all. She was just trying to drive a wedge between him and Sister Jingjing.
However, before he went to school, Tan Rou had clearly said that she didnât care about the extent of his relationship with Sister Jingjing. Who was the one who was telling the truth now? Could it be that Tan Rou was just pretending to be magnanimous in front of him but threatening Sister Jingjing behind his back?
Tan Jing continued talking. âI might not be able to go back to the Tao family. Xiaoqi, you have to share more things with me. Even if I canât go home, Iâm happy to know that youâre doing well.â
Hearing Tan Jingâs words, Tao Qi nodded happily. He also wanted Sister Jingjing to go home, so it was only right to share things with her.
Seeing that Tao Qi agreed to her request without hesitation, Tan Jing let out a sigh of relief.
In any case, it was good progress to get a hold of the Tao familyâs movements as soon as possible. It would be much more convenient for her to take any further actions. Not only could she prevent Tan Rou from plotting against her, but she could also catch her off guard!
Tao Qi was a little young, a little willful, and hard to please, but he was still useful!
Tan Jing smiled in satisfaction and touched Tao Qiâs little face affectionately. âXiao Qi, youâre the best. I love you the most.â
Tao Qi smiled obediently. He was also very happy that Sister Jingjing was being so affectionate. Although it was a little uncomfortable for her long nails to be scratching his face, this was how beautiful girls should be!
Tao Qi tilted his head, feeling that something was wrong.
Tan Rou, that bad woman, didnât have long nails. Instead, she had clean and neat short nails. She easily grabbed his collar and always messed up his hair. She was very rough and did not act like a woman.
Although Tao Qi was the youngest in the family, he had always thought that he was a man and should protect girls, even if that person was his elder sister. So, after hearing that Tan Jing had been bullied, he had rushed home in advance.
Compared to Tan Jing, who was fragrant and soft and needed protection, Tan Rou was always fierce and cold. It was good enough that she didnât bully him. Why did she need protection?
So from the beginning, Tao Qi subconsciously felt that Tan Rou was the stronger girl and would bully Sister Jingjing. Sister Jingjing was soft and weak. She would only cry when she was wronged.
Tao Qi felt that he might have indeed been influenced by Tan Rou. Why did he doubt sister Jingjing just now and waver in his decision to kick Tan Rou out of the Tao family? Tan Rou was indeed too dangerous. He had to stay clear-headed!
So, under Tan Jingâs gentle attack, Tao Qi was a little brainwashed again. He decided to continue his plan of driving Tan Rou away once he got home!
Tan Jing, on the other hand, was proud of herself.
She looked at this silly boy. He didnât seem happy even when she brought him to such a good place to eat but he immediately brightened up when she gently touched his face. He was still the same as before. It seemed that she had been worried about nothing.
