99 099 Father Taoâs promise
Tan Rou understood what Father Tao meant. She knew Father Tao was not a cold, heartless scum like Tan Song, who was not worthy of being a father. She was pleased.
âI know, dad,â she nodded as she felt touched. âTao Qi is my younger brother, and Iâm confident heâll accept me. If anything happens between us during this moment between I and my brother, you can treat him as normal and not be biased toward me. I know what Iâm doing. Letâs give him some time.â Then, she winked at father Tao meaningfully.
Seeing that his daughter already had a plan, Mr. Tao shook his head and laughed. âYouâre brilliant. Youâre confident enough; we donât need to worry about you.â
Tan Rou smiled mysteriously. She had seen all kinds of storms. How was it that she couldnât handle a little kid?
Because Tan Rou wasnât affected by Tao Qiâs reaction, Father Tao was relieved and liked Tan Rou even more.
This child really treated Tao Qi as a family, which was why she was so understanding and tolerant. She was still a young woman, but she was sensible. It was indeed gratifying.
Mr. Taoâs mood was much more relaxed. He felt it was not as difficult to communicate with his daughter as he had imagined. He no longer felt worried. He directly asked the key question that he had mentioned to Tan Rou earlier. â Your mother has already told me about Tan Song coming to our house to cause trouble the other day. I just wanted to know what are your thoughts on it?â
After that day, Mrs. Tao called Mr. Tao to discuss the bankruptcy of the Tan family. With Mr. Taoâs ability, it wasnât a big deal, but after thinking about it, Mr. Tao felt that he should ask for Tan Rouâs opinion before making a move.
If Tan Rou still had feelings for the Tan family, Father Tao wouldnât bear for his daughter to be sad. He would only do enough for Tan Song to learn his lesson. However, this would inevitably disappoint Father Tao.
However, hearing what Father Tao said as she recalled Tan Songâs rudeness the other day, her eyes gradually became determined from how she looked relaxed previously.
âDad, I donât have any feelings left for the Tan family because I feel disgusted from the bottom of my heart whenever I see them. If I donât have any expectations, why would I be affected? Tan Song will pay the price for his words sooner or later. If he doesnât deserve his virtue, he will face disaster. I am not that magnanimous. I hope that his whole family will go to hell.â
Tan Rou was a little agitated.
Father Tao didnât know what had happened in her previous life, so he probably thought she was too vicious.
âIâm sorry,â she explained, as she was a little disappointed. âThis may be a little vicious, but they are my real thoughts. I will work hard towards this goal. I wonât lose my conscience, and I wonât do anything that goes against my conscience, but Iâll definitely make the tan family pay the price.â
Hearing Tan Rouâs words, a storm stirred up inside him. At the same time, he was shocked by Tan Rouâs firm and fearless expression.
Mr. Tao didnât expect Tan Rou to have such courage at such a young age. Just now, for a moment, the will need that Tan Rou exuded even made Mr. Tao a little dazed.
Father Tao had seen many people. At this moment, he naturally understood that his daughter was not ordinary. To be so decisive and clear-headed at the same time, this determination made Father Tao feel that there was nothing she couldnât achieve. She would definitely be a dragon among men!
Moreover, Tan Rou was determined. The Tan family must have hurt her deeply. She should have been at the age where she could run around the campus innocently, but she had to bear all these painful memories, which made Tan Rou sad and angry.
Mr. Taoâs heart ached so much that his eyes teared up. He quickly comforted Tan Rou, âYouâre a good girl. Why wouldnât I believe you? We, the Tao family, are all good men, regardless of gender. Youâre my child; of course, you wouldnât do bad things. I believe in your character.â
Seeing that Father Tao didnât blame her for being cruel, Tan Rou gradually relaxed.
In this life, she had to bear the burden of the Tao familyâs blood feud. She hoped the Tao family would never experience that kind of suffering again, but she didnât want them to misunderstand her.
Father Tao sighed deeply. His tone was solemn as if he had made a decision.
âDonât be too stressed about it. Just like you said, the Tan family is unworthy of their position. Sooner or later, there will be retribution. I promise.â
Mr. Taoâs eyes shone proudly. He was very pleased that Tan Rou had such thoughts. After suffering so much, the other party showed no signs of repentance. Instead, they even came here to provoke her. If he still had to endure it, would that still be reasonable?
