Li Liâs mother really didnât know how to thank Tan Ron. Not only did Tan Ron help her daughter with her studies, but she also helped her daughter earn money. Now, she even gave them such an expensive gift. They couldnât repay this kindness. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âXiao Rou, uncle and auntie are very grateful to you. If it werenât for you, our Li Li wouldnât have participated in the physics competition at all and wouldnât have been able to get a guaranteed entry. You are the benefactor of our family,â Li Liâs mother said gratefully.
Tan Rou smiled and said nonchalantly, âWeâre classmates. This is what 1 should do. Moreover, I didnât help Li Li much. It was mainly because of Li Liâs own hard work. It was her own ability that she was able to get accepted in the Capital University.
Liang Lu started to feel sad again. âThe two of you have already got accepted. Iâm the only one left in another university. I might not even be able to get into university.â
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. âIs Big Sis afraid of not being able to get into university?â
âHumph.â Liang Lu said angrily, âIâve already turned over a new leaf. Besides, Iâve spent the past six months studying for more than twelve hours every day in order to get into university. 1 donât dare to go out and play at all.â
âLi Li, donât worry. Youâve made great progress in the past six months, and you did well in the college entrance examination. Youâll definitely get into the university you like.â Li Li comforted her, âAs long as you get into any university in the Capital, weâll have a chance to meet. Then, weâll go out and play together.â
Liang Lu was still a little worried. It was not easy for her to give up love and pursue friendship. If she were to give up her idol Tan Rou like this, she would definitely be disappointed in herself.
âIâve decided!â Liang Lu seemed to have made a big decision. âIf I fail this time, Iâll repeat the exam for a year and fight again next year!â
âYouâve really become different.â Lu Qing said emotionally, âI canât believe that you would actually repeat if you donât get into a university.â
âPeople change,â Liang Lu said. âI was too childish in the past. Now, 1 want to follow my idolâs footsteps and become an outstanding person.â
She then looked at Tan Rou. âIdol, you have to wait for me in the Capital. Donât run away, okay?â
âIâm going to the Capital to attend university. I canât run away,â Tan Rou said helplessly.
Thus, the boys and girls who had just finished their college entrance examination agreed to meet in the capital in September.
After Tan Rou attended the Teacher Appreciation Banquet, she quietly returned to the capital. She did not tell anyone in the capital, not even her big brother. Grandma Tao had called her a few times, but she didnât pick up. She always asked Mrs. Tao to pick up on her behalf. Her purpose was to interfere with some peopleâs judgment.
Grandma Tao thought that Tan Rou didnât have time to answer the phone because she had to attend a party after graduation. She didnât expect this to be Tan Ronâs plan.
In the main hall of the Tao familyâs main residence in the capital, Grandma Tao was a little depressed. She asked Aunt Zhou, âAll Zhou, do you think Iâm very annoying?â
âWhy do you ask that, Miss?â Aunt Zhou asked.
âI called Rourou several times, but she didnât answer even once. When 1 got through, it was her mother who answered the phone.â Grandma Tao asked sadly.
âIs Rourou not picking up my calls because she thinks Iâm too annoying?â
âMiss is not that kind of person. She might really be busy. There are quite a lot of things to do during the graduation season.â Aunt Zhou comforted her.
Grandma Tao also accepted this explanation. âAlright, then Iâll wait a few more days.â
Tao Yue, who was not far away, was overjoyed when she heard their conversation. She had already suspected Tan Ronâs death, but now that even Grandma Tao could not contact Tan Rou, it meant that Tan Rou was really dead.
âHahahahaâ¦â Tao Yue ran out and laughed loudly in a remote part of the manor. âTan Rou, youâre actually dead. Youâre dead! Hahahahaâ¦â
A gardener who came over to water the flowers was frightened by her laughter. âSecond Miss, what are you doing?â
Tao Yue turned around. The madness on her face hadnât disappeared yet. âNothing.â
The gardenerâs heart pounded. Why was the Second Miss becoming more and more terrifying? Ever since she lost the piano competition, she had become a neurotic person. From time to time, she would talk to herself and often destroy the lawn and flowers.
Now, she actually ran to such a remote place and laughed crazily.. She must have gone completely crazy
