âThird Brother, goodbye!â Tan Ron sat in the car and waved at Zhuang Liu.
Zhuang Liu saw them off by the roadside. âBrother-in-law, be careful when you drive at night.â
âDonât worry, my driving skills are definitely better than yours.â Tao Zhi said.
Zhuang Liu agreed with this point. After all, he had not driven for many years. If Tao Zhi wanted to compete with him in driving now, he really could not beat Tao Zhi.
âThird Young Master, you were too bold just now. 1 broke out in a cold sweat for you.â Xiao Mo only dared to speak after they were far away.
âHow am I bold?â Zhuang Liu asked back.
âHow could you kiss Miss Tan Rou in front of the young masters of the Tao family?â Xiao Mo asked. âIf they had been impulsive enough to attack me, I wouldnât have been able to stop them.â
âXiao Mo, is there something wrong with your eyes?â Zhuang Liu asked. âRourou was the one who kissed me just now. Why did I kiss her instead?â
âIsnât it the same?â Xiao Mo asked.
Zhuang Liu corrected him, âItâs different. If 1 was the one who took the initiative to kiss Rourou, I would definitely be beaten by Tao Zhi but if Xiao Rou was the one who kissed me, then Tao Zhi could only give us his blessings.â
Xiao Mo felt that Zhuang Liu must have tricked Tan Rou into kissing him again. Otherwise, Tan Rou would never have kissed Zhuang Liu.
Zhuang Liu had a good time tonight. âLetâs go back. My mom must be waiting anxiously.â
In the dead of the night, a luxury car with its high beam headlights drove into the Tao familyâs manor.
The strong light illuminated Tao Yueâs small building. She was not asleep yet, so she quickly leaned against the window to see who it was. Tan Rou and the others got out of the car, talking and laughing. Although Tao Yue couldnât hear what they were saying, she knew that they must have had a great time tonight.
Tao Yue glanced at the clock on the wall. It was already past 11 pm, but Tan Rou had just returned. Why was Tan Rou allowed to play outside until eleven oâclock, while she would be scolded by her parents when she played until ten oâclock?
It was New Yearâs Eve, and Tao Yue really didnât go to dinner. This was the first time she was kicked out of the New Yearâs Eve dinner in her 17 years of life. In the past, everyone would be gathering around her. But this year, everything she had was ruined by Tan Rou.
âGo to hell!!!!â Tao Yue angrily picked up the crystal pen holder on the table and smashed it on the floor. Because the floor was made of wood, the pen holder was not broken.
The sound of the pen holder being smashed attracted Second Aunt Tao. She knocked on the door and said, âYue Yue, are you awake?â
After dinner, she knocked on the door to bring some dinner to Tao Yue. However, Tao Yue didnât open the door or make any sound, so she thought Tao Yue was asleep.
Tao Yue didnât want to answer Second Aunt Tao. Not only did she hate Tan Rou, but she also hated her mother. If her mother had spoken up for her when she was punished by the old lady in the afternoon, she wouldnât have been grounded.
âYue Yue, get up and eat something before you sleep. If you donât eat, your body will collapse.â Second Aunt Tao knocked on the door again.
âI wonât eat!â Tao Yue walked to the door and shouted, âDidnât you say you wouldnât let me eat? Then I wonât eat. I can save you some money. You can use the money you save to coax your niece!!â
Second Aunt Tao was shocked. âYue Yue, what are you talking about? When did we stop you from eating? I brought you the food before dinner. You were sleeping at that time, so I placed the food on the shelf at the door and sent you a message. Didnât you see it?â
Tao Yue had already seen it, but she didnât want to eat it or reply to the message. She only felt that she had been wronged. She was clearly thinking about her grandmotherâs health. Why was she the one who was grounded in the end?
âMom, do you think itâs my fault too? Cousin gave Grandma some unknown medicine, and you didnât care about her. 1 only asked a few questions, and Grandma told me to come back and reflect on what 1 said. Do you think thatâs fair to me?â Tao Yue asked.
âI know youâre upset, but itâs not right to go against Xiao Rou today. Your grandma likes Xiao Rou the most. How could she allow you to go against Xiao Rou?â Second Aunt Tao hoped that Tao Yue could reflect on herself.
âWhat are you thinking about? Just because Iâm not Grandmaâs biological granddaughter, is it right that 1 canât get her love?â Tao Yue sneered.. âWas it wrong of me to care about her? I think even if her granddaughter poisoned her, she would still be happy!â
