Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After Tao Yue left Yuanxi Manor, she returned to her family’s manor. Although this manor was slightly larger than Yuanxi Manor, only Tan Rou lived in Yuanxi Manor, while there were four people living in their manor. Tao Yue usually restrained herself from saying or doing anything, afraid that others would find out. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Dad, Mom, I’m back.” Tao Yue greeted her parents obediently.

Second Uncle and Aunt Tao stopped talking and called her to their side.

“Yueyue, how did it go with your cousin’s sister today?” Second Aunt Tao pulled Tao Yue to sit beside her. “You just went to Yuanxi Manor with her. Isn’t the newly renovated manor beautiful?”

Second Aunt Tao’s words hit Tao Yue’s sore spot. She didn’t want to answer these two questions, but she had to answer her mother’s question.

“I think I get along well with her, but she doesn’t seem to like me. Since this afternoon, my eldest cousin has been making things difficult for me.” Tao Yue said sadly.

“How could that be?” Second Aunt Tao asked in surprise.

“Didn’t you two have a very pleasant conversation tonight? Your eldest cousin even invited you to her new manor? There are so many brothers and sisters in the family, but you’re the only one who’s been to the newly renovated Yuanxi Manor.”

“But my eldest cousin just doesn’t like me very much. She asked me to leave as soon as we arrived at Yuanxi Manor.” As Tao Yue spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. “Mom, does Eldest Cousin hate me because I’ve taken over her identity as the eldest daughter of her family all these years?”

“Your eldest cousin is not that kind of person. Besides, both of you are still daughters of the Tao family. The only difference between the eldest and second young misses is in age. There won’t be any other differences.”

Tao Yue really wanted to ask her father why Tan Rou had an entire manor. Why could Tan Rou enter the ancestral shrine? Why did Tan Ron’s entire family have to come over to welcome her?

But Tao Yue couldn’t ask. If she did, her parents would say that she was being insensible. Ever since she found out that she was the adopted daughter of the Tao family, Tao Yue had been careful with everything she did. She didn’t dare to do anything wrong. She was afraid that the Tao family would send her back to the orphanage.

“Yueyue, did you do something to make Rourou mad at you?” Second Aunt Tao asked.

Tao Yue wanted to say that she didn’t do anything, but she suddenly thought of Meng Xiao, that idiot.

A few days ago, she had asked Meng Xiao to stay in the presidential suite of a hotel under the Tao family’s name and snatched Tan Ron’s room. She did not expect Meng Xiao that idiot not only did not get a place but also expose Tao Yue.

That night, Tao Xiang sent a message to remind Tao Yue not to get too close to Meng Xiao. Tao Yue was preparing for the physics competition at that time and did not take Tao Xiang’s words to heart.

Could it be because of this? Tao Yue finally realized why Tan Rou had such a sour face when she saw Tao Rou for the first time.

No, Tao Yue couldn’t let Tan Rou tell Grandpa Tao about this first. She had to take the initiative.

“Mom, it’s all my fault.” Tao Yue burst into tears. “What happened was…. a few days ago, Meng Xiao came back from abroad. She wanted to stay in the presidential suite of our six-star hotel, so she called me and asked me to make an appointment for her. I was busy with the exam at that time, so I didn’t help her and let her go alone.”

“Isn’t the presidential suite reserved for Rourou and the others?” Second Aunt Tao asked.

“I forgot.” Tao Yue said sadly, “Meng Xiao met Tan Rou at the front desk of the hotel. During the fight for the suite, Meng Xiao said that I was the one who told her to stay at that suite. In fact, I didn’t! 1 just told her to book the room herself. I think that’s why my cousin is mad at me now.”

After Second Aunt Tao heard this, her expression turned ugly. “Yueyue, why are you still in contact with Meng Xiao? Didn’t 1 tell you to cut off contact with Meng Xiao?”

“Mom, it’s not that I wanted to take the initiative to interact with Meng Xiao. She was the one who came to me first.” Tao Yue quickly made up an excuse. “I haven’t contacted her for years, but after all, we used to be friends. I can’t be so ruthless.”

Second Uncle Tao said, “What you’re saying makes sense. Others can be cold and heartless, but we can’t be cold and heartless. Otherwise, we won’t have any friends in the future. We should always treat other with kindness.”

Tao Yue’s head hurt every time she heard her say these things.. When would her father stop loving all living beings and when would he be able to snatch back the position of the head of the Tao family?
