Tan Song rubbed his temples as he felt exhausted. Then, he said in a tired tone, “Fine. I will go to the Tao family tomorrow. How dare Tan Rou act as if she was someone important! I would like to question the Tao family if they knew how to educate their daughter! Perhaps they were the ones that taught Tan Rou to use her past identity to get close to the Zhuang family!”
Chen Yi let out a breath of relief. She nodded in agreement, “Is there anything those poor people wouldn’t do?!”
Tan Jing pursed her lips as she listened to what they were saying. She had nothing to say at this point. She didn’t have to stand up for the Tao family now. It was more important for Tan Song to teach Tan Rou a lesson.
This way, the Tao family would also realize that Tan Rou was a b*tch that wasn’t worth their love!
As Tan Jing thought about this, she finally felt much better.
The next morning, Tan Song got his driver to send him to where the Tao family lived.
Tan Song opened the door with disgust as he walked through the narrow alley. He felt bad for his branded leather shoes that had to be in contact with such a dirty place. Then, he found the Tao family. He despised them and thought of how different this place was from the Tan family. It was no surprise that they thought of such a horrible plan.
If they were to depend on their own abilities, they might not be able to grow out of this place. They finally gave birth to a daughter who had the chance to be part of the upper-class socialites. These people would definitely make use of such a perfect opportunity.
Tan Song felt even more confident as he thought about it and started knocking at the door.
Mother Tao was preparing breakfast, thinking of how to feed both her children with better food. Especially Tan Rou, she was too skinny. Her children had to eat more.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Mother Tao was wondering who would be at their door early in the morning.
She was shocked when she opened the door. Tan Song was dressed in a tailored suit and stood tall as he looked at Mother Tao sternly.
Mother Tao was frightened. Since the day that she found out that her daughter had been switched, she had been worried ever since. She was afraid that these people would take away her daughter. What was Tan Song doing here? It must be related to Xiao Rou, right?”
However, Mother Tao didn’t show how nervous she actually was. She smiled and politely asked, “What pleasant surprise for you to have the time to come here. What’s the matter?”
Mother Tao never had a good impression of Tao Song and Chen Yi. When both families were discussing their children, the Tan family was arrogant and rude. Mother Tao could only try her best to maintain her manners and politeness, but she never considered inviting him into the house.
Plus, Tan Rou was still sleeping inside. Mother Tao had her own intentions. She didn’t want Tao Rou to be in contact with those from the Tan family.
Tan Song sneered as he asked, “Where’s Mr. Tao? I need to talk to him. Tao Rou got herself in trouble. Didn’t she tell you about it when she came home?”
Mother Tao was confused but still protected her child subconsciously, “What happened to Xiao Rou? You can just talk to me about it.”
Tan Song stood by the door. He was getting frustrated as he loosened his tie. He felt that he had stained his reputation by being here. It was a mistake. These people didn’t even know manners. This woman didn’t even invite him inside the house, which was why he also started being rude.
“That rascal had the audacity to insult my wife in public and even injured Jingjing. Get her out here now to apologize!”
When Mother Tao heard what Tan Song said, her face turned cold. Tan Song came to their house early in the morning and started lecturing her daughter. This was something that infuriated Mother Tao, and it was so bad that her head started hurting.
Mother Tao was trying her best to control her anger. This was the only reason she didn’t pick up a broom to kick him out.
She frowned and tried to suppress her anger as she stood up for her daughter, “I don’t believe that Xiao Rou is someone like that. There must be some understanding, but before you find out the truth, please do not insult my daughter right in front of my house.”
Tan Song scoffed as he stared at Mother Tao in disdain, “People like you do not know manners. This is why Tao Rou would do such things.”
Mother Tao couldn’t stand it anymore. “Is that right? It’s a shame that families like us do not welcome people like you into our homes. Please leave right now!” Then, she closed the door.
Seeing what Mother Tao wanted to do, Tan Song’s face turned cold. He started screaming at the house, “Tan Rou! Why are you hiding inside your house now after causing so much trouble?! Get out here now and follow me back so you can apologize!”
Tan Rou was awakened by the noise outside. When she stepped outside, she could hear Tan Song screaming at the top of his lungs.
Tan Rou didn’t have much of an impression of Tan Song. Chen Yi sent her abroad when she was a young girl, and Tan Song agreed with her decision. He has never reached out to Tan Rou. When she returned home when she was 18 years old, Tan Song would also be at the office and allowed Chen Yi to torture her as she pleased.
