Tao Yue had heard about Tan Rou’s suffering. It was said that she swapped with another child when she was born and lived in someone else’s house for seventeen years. She even went abroad before returning to China at the age of fifteen. It seemed that she had been forced to leave because she had caused trouble overseas, but Tao Yue couldn’t find out what she had done wrong.

“Mom, what kind of suffering did she suffer in the past?” Tao Yue leaned on Aunt Tao’s shoulder. “And didn’t Grandpa and Grandma say that my cousin’s grades weren’t good? Why was she participating in the physics competition? And I heard that she’s the top student in the school.”

Aunt Tao didn’t know much about Tan Rou’s grades. When the two elders of the Tao family mentioned Tan Rou, they did say that she had been raised badly. Her grades were bad, and her temper was bad. However, when she asked Mr. Tao today, he said that Tan Rou’s grades were excellent and that she was an outstanding child.

“Maybe Grandpa and Grandma heard wrongly because they are older. Your uncle said that your oldest cousin’s grades are excellent. She basically scored full marks in every subject.”

“Really?” Tao Yue asked again.

Aunt Tao felt that her daughter’s words were strange today. Why did she keep questioning her?

“Yue Yue, don’t you believe what Mom said?” Aunt Tao’s expression changed. “It’s a good thing that your cousin’s grades are good. Why do you keep asking about it? Don’t you believe that her grades are good?”

“Of course I’m happy that she’s doing well academically.” Tao Yue smiled. I just want to get to know her better so that I can get along with her when she comes back.”

Aunt Tao didn’t say anything else. “Yue Yue, you are always the best daughter in my eyes.”

Tao Yue was furious. Why were they all siding with Tan Rou? Even her mother was speaking up for Tan Rou. Was it because she was the biological daughter of the Tao family?

Her mother would always say that biological daughters and adopted daughters were the same. In the end, once her biological daughter came back, all the good things went back to her. As an adopted daughter, she had nothing left.

Tan Rou’s grades were always very poor no matter how Tao Yue checked. However, Tan Rou’s grades started to improve as soon as she returned to the Tao family. It was impossible for a person to suddenly become very smart. Even if she became smart, she would not have made such great progress.

There were only two kinds of possibilities. One, Tao Yue’s intelligence was wrong. Tan Rou has always been very smart, but her good results were covered up by someone but Tao Yue’s men couldn’t find out about it. Another possibility was that Tan Rou’s grades were indeed bad in the past, but she was pretending. When she returned to the Tao family, she would stop pretending.

No matter what the situation was, Tao Yue was a little scared.

The first possibility was that with Tan Rou’s current strength, she definitely couldn’t hide her results. The only possibility was that someone powerful was covering for her.

The second scenario was even more terrifying. Tan Rou had concealed her strength. Could it be that Tao Rou knew that she was brought home by the wrong family?

In fact, it was neither. Tan Rou had been reborn. The Tan Rou whose brain was damaged and was played by others was no longer around. Now, it was Tan Rou who had come back for revenge.

The car carrying Tan Rou slowly drove into a sparsely populated area. If her mother hadn’t brought Tan Rou over, Tan Rou would have really thought that she had been kidnapped and sent to a remote forest.

“It seems very remote here.” Tan Rou looked out of the car window. The dense pine trees blocked the sky, making the entire area very dark.

“This mountain belongs to our family. We don’t usually live here, so it’s a little deserted.”

Tan Rou saw a very old stone house in the distant forest. “How old is this house?”

“Over a hundred years. Our family made a fortune early on. After we had money, we bought this mountain and built this house.”

“A long time ago, our ancestors also lived here. Later, they felt that it was inconvenient to live here, so they moved to the city. For now, only the ancestral shrine is left and we would come here to pray every year.”

When Tan Rou arrived, her grandfather and father were already waiting for her. Other than the two of them, there were only a few bodyguards in black. Tan Rou thought there would be a lot of people, but she didn’t expect it to be just a few of them..
