âBut Yueyue, Iâve told you long ago not to associate with bad friends. You should have cut ties with someone like Meng Xiao who doesnât know how to weigh the pros and cons and keeps causing trouble for others. You should have ignored her when she contacted you back then.â
Tao Yueâs expression was very ugly. âDad, I know I was wrong. If Meng Xiao looks for me again, I will definitely ignore her.â
âGo and apologize to your cousin tomorrow. She has a good temper and wonât blame you for what outsiders did.â
Second Uncle Tao emphasized, âYou must admit your mistake and explain the matter to your cousin clearly. Donât create anymore new conflicts in the future.â
Tao Yue clenched her fists. Why did her parents side with Tan Rou? It was their first time meeting Tan Rou today, so how could they be sure that Tan Rou had a good temper?
Tan Ronâs attitude towards her this afternoon and evening didnât seem like a good-tempered person. Especially tonight, Tan Rou deliberately asked her to go to Yuanxi Manor and chased her back after she arrived. It was obvious that she wanted to show off her new manor.
Tan Ronâs family lived in the best manor. Tan Rou and her brothers also had their own villa, but Tao Yueâs family had to live together in one small building. It was unfair.
âYue Yue, did you hear Daddy talking to you? Yueyue, why are you so distracted today?â Second Aunt Tao asked when she saw that Tan Yue had not spoken.
Tao Yue came back to her senses. âDad, Mom, I heard it. Iâll apologize to her tomorrow.â
âYes.â Second Uncle Taoâs expression was very serious. âItâs getting late. You should go back and rest.â
Tao Yue said goodnight to her parents and went back to her room. As soon as she reached her room, she picked up the toy rabbit on the bed and beat it a few times before putting it on the ground to step on.
This toy rabbit was brought by Second Uncle Tao and Aunt Tao when they went to the orphanage to pick her up before she came to the Tao family. Tao Yue was very young at that time, so she was immediately attracted to the big toy rabbit. After that, she treated the couple as her parents.
When Tao Yue was young, she didnât know that she was adopted, so she was very willful at that time. It wasnât until one day that she lost her temper and offended Aunt Zhou that her grandmother punished her and sent her to another courtyard. Only then did she realize that she was just an adopted daughter of the Tao family. From then on, she became much more obedient.
Originally, she thought that she was the only daughter of the Tao family in this generation. Even if she was not their biological daughter, the Tao family would not treat her badly. She didnât expect the Tao family to have a biological daughter. Now that her biological daughter was back, she had no status.
âTan Rou!â Tao Yue tore at the toy rabbit and vented all her anger on the rabbit. âI wonât let you off!â
In the living room, Second Uncle Tao and Aunt Tao were still discussing Tan Rou and Tao Yue.
âYueyue is acting very strange today. She is usually very obedient. Why did her expression change when she saw Xiao Rou today?â Second Aunt Tao didnât understand.
âYue Yue has been the eldest daughter of the Tao family for so long. Now that Xiao Rou comes back, she became the second daughter of the family. Itâs normal for her to be unhappy.â Second Uncle Tao said.
âIf I knew this would happen, I would have told Yueyue that she actually has a cousin.â Second Aunt Tao sighed.
âTheyâre all daughters of the Tao family. We wonât treat them differently. Itâs just that Xiao Rou has suffered outside for so many years. Now that sheâs back home, itâs inevitable that the family will care for her more. When Yueyue first came to our house, wasnât she also doted on?â
âOf course.â Second Aunt Tao smiled. âOur Yueyue is still very sensible. She probably canât accept that she has an elder sister all of a sudden, so sheâs not in a good mood. Iâll find some time to talk to her tomorrow and ease her mind.â
âDonât let her play with Meng Xiao anymore. Meng Xiao will only lead her astray.â
Second Aunt Tao didnât like Meng Xiao either. âI didnât like that Meng Xiao in the past. After she caused trouble, I disliked her even more now. Our Yueyue canât have any more contact with her. Tomorrow, Iâll get Yueyue to delete all her contact information.â
Second Uncle Tao nodded in agreement..
