Grandpa Tao smiled and said to Tan Ron, âXiao Ron, donât blame your sister Yueyue. She usually studies very hard. She often studies until late at night which is why sheâs very concerned about her grades.â
Tan Rou shook her head gently. âI wonât blame her for it. After all, her results were earned through hard work. I respect everyone who works hard.â
âYes.â Grandpa Tao liked Tan Ronâs answer. She was indeed a child of the Tao family. Not only was she smart, but she was also very understanding. âXiao Rou, Grandpa and Grandma have prepared some gifts for you this time. They have already sent them to Yuanxi Manor. Yuanxi Manor will be yours from now on.â
Tan Rou didnât know what this place was, but from the name, she knew that this place wasnât simple. âThank you, Grandpa and Grandma. 1 will cherish this gift-â
Tao Yue was so jealous that she was going crazy. Her grandfather had really given the manor to Tan Rou. She had begged for it many times but failed. How could he give it to Tan Rou so easily? It was so unfair.
âArenât you happy for me, dear cousin? Donât you like me coming back?â Tan Rou asked Tao Yue on purpose.
Tao Yue had a fake smile on her face. âOf course I like it that youâre back. Now that youâre back, there will be two girls in the house. I was the only one in the past, so I couldnât share anything with anyone.â
âYouâll have a chance to share it in the future.â Tan Rou said, âBut itâs best if you wouldnât get reluctant when you have to.â
Tao Yue suddenly felt her heart palpitate. What did Tan Rou mean by that? Was there something else she wanted to snatch? Wasnât the entire Yuanxi Manor enough?
âHaha.â Grandpa Tao smiled happily. âIâm very happy to see you sisters getting along. Everything in Yuanxi Manor is ready for you. Xiao Rou could move in now.â
âI donât know the way yet, so Iâll have to trouble Yueyue to lead the way for me.â
âAlright, I will show you the way.â Tao Yue really wished that she could push Tan Rou into the lake at Yuanxi Manor and drown her. That way, she would be the only daughter in the Tao family.
Yuanxi Manor was a small manor in the Tao familyâs manor. It was connected to the main manor and could be reached in a few steps.
As Tan Rou and Tao Yue walked on the streets, a few helpers followed behind them to ensure their safety.
Even at night, Tan Rou could see that the manor was very beautiful. The manor was spacious and she could hear the sound of running water. The faint fragrance of flowers filled her nose. It was really rare to be able to smell the fragrance of flowers in this season.
Tao Yue was more excited than Tan Rou. She had been looking around the manor ever since she entered. If it werenât for the fact that the conditions didnât allow it, she would have taken out her phone to take a few photos.
âYou seem to like this manor very much.â The lights were quite bright, so Tan Rou could easily see the expression on Tao Yueâs face. She thought that Tao Yue would only show a fake expression, but she didnât expect her to show such a real smile.
Tao Yue realized that she had lost her composure and quickly stopped smiling. âI do like this place. In fact, Iâm envious of you. Youâve obtained Yuanxi Manor as soon as you come back. You have to know that Yuanxi Manor is the most beautiful manor. You canât find any other manor that is as perfect as this one in the entire capital.â
âDo you want this manor?â Tan Rou asked.
Tao Yueâs eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, âEldest cousin, are you giving me Yuanxi Manor?â
âI want to give it to you, but I canât do that.â Tan Rou smiled and said, âAfter all, this is a gift from my grandparents. I canât easily give it to others.â
Tao Yue was very angry. âTan Rou! Are you saying this to show off your new manor to me?â
âNot only that.â Tan Rou leaned over and whispered in her ear, âYou offended my friend today. Donât expect me to be nice to you.â
As soon as she got closer, Tao Yue realized that Tan Rou was at least 15 centimeters taller than her. She had been taking supplements to increase her height all these years, but it didnât work. She was still short. Even the twins at her auntâs house were taller than her.
âWeâre a family. Why should you protect an outsider instead of me?â Tao Yue asked unhappily.
âThen you have to ask yourself. Do you treat me as family?â Tan Rou asked âWhy did you greet me today?â
âIâ¦â Tao Yue couldnât give any reason for what she had done..
