Second Aunt Tao was not clear about this. âMaybe they looked alike. Besides, Iâve never seen your eldest cousin before. How could your friend have seen her before? Although there are some photos of your eldest cousin on the internet, the photos are still somewhat different from the real person. Itâs normal for your friend to mistake her for someone else.â
âIs that really the case?â In fact, Tao Yue herself was not sure if that person was Tan Rou. According to the information she received, Tan Rou was indeed a student with poor grades. She was also said to often fight and cause trouble. She also formed cliques in school. Many people hated her.
âWhy would Mommy lie to you?â Second Aunt Tao patted Tao Yueâs head and said, âYour eldest cousin has suffered a lot in the Tan family all these years. Now that sheâs coming back, you must bring her around the Capital more when she comes back. The two of you are about the same age, so you must have a lot in common.â
Aunt Tao was a kind-hearted person. After hearing that Tan Rou had suffered a lot in her previous family, she felt very sorry for her niece, so she wanted her daughter to take care of her cousin.
Tao Yue tightened her grip on the pen. She didnât want to do this at all. They were all members of the Tao family, and they share the same bloodline. Why was it that her uncle could inherit the position of the head of the Tao family while her father had to be an outsider?
Also, her mother always told her to be a kind person. Although Tao Yue didnât object to this view, she didnât like her motherâs personality. Why couldnât her mother become the wife of the head of the Tao family?
Tao Zhi was a very outstanding person, but her brother Tao Sheng was not inferior to Tao Zhi. However, the position of the future head of the Tao family was her uncleâs. After her uncle abdicated, it would be Tao Zhiâs. She did not want Tao Zhi to be the head of the Tao family at all.
âOf course.â Tao Yue pretended to be happy and said, âIâll definitely take good care of my eldest cousin.â No matter how angry she was, she could not show it in front of her mother.
âYouâre always the best!â Aunt Tao knew that his daughter was obedient and sensible, so she said, âYouâve been studying hard recently. After your exams, Iâll bring you to make a few sets of clothes. Also, our new limited edition jewelry is going to be on the market soon. When the time comes, you can choose a few pieces that you like and keep them.â
Tao Yue was overjoyed when she heard that, but she couldnât show it on her face. âMom, I already have enough clothes and jewelry. I donât use them often, so donât buy me more.â
She deliberately mentioned Tan Rou. âWhy donât you give these things to my cousin instead? After all, sheâs the eldest daughter of the Tao family. If she doesnât have these things with her, others will think that weâre bullying her.â
âYou donât have to worry about that.â Second Aunt Tao smiled and said, âYour grandparents have already prepared it for your eldest cousin. Sheâs the eldest daughter of the Tao family. How could she lack these jewels?ââ
âWhat did Grandpa and Grandma prepare for her?â Tao Yue added, âIâm not trying to compete with the eldest cousin. I just want to refer to Grandpa and Grandmaâs standards to prepare a welcoming gift for her.â
Aunt Tao laughed. âThen you might not be able to do it according to their standards because your grandmother gave the entire Yuanxi Manor to your eldest cousin. At that time, those things would be sent directly to the manor, and there was no need to go to the shop to pick them.â
When Tao Yue heard that her grandparents had given Yuanxi Manor to her sister, whom she had never met before, Tao Yueâs anger surged. Yuanxi Manor was the best manor in the Tao family. She had asked her grandparents for it several times but had not gotten it. She did not expect them to give it to Tan Rou directly.
Why? She had always been the eldest daughter of the Tao family, and the people in the capital knew that the Tao family only had one eldest miss. They did not know Tan Rou at all. Why was Tan Rou snatching things from her before she returned?
Tao Yue couldnât take this anymore. She had to take back her identity as the eldest daughter of the Tao family from Tan Rou!
âYue Yue, rest for a while.â Aunt Tao patted her head again. âDonât stay up too late. Even if you donât get a place, Mom and Dad wonât blame you.â
Tao Yue put on a fake smile. âMom, I know. Donât worry..â
