62 062 Everything Changes
“Rou ‘er, you’ve been wronged. Why didn’t you tell us? We would have seeked justice for you!” Mrs. Tao sobbed.
Tan Rou smiled and comforted her mother gently. “Mom, it’s all in the past. Now that I have finally returned to our family, I don’t want to care about them anymore. People like them will never own up to their mistakes. Why bother with them and ruin our mood for nothing? Aren’t things good now with how they are?”
Tao Zheng stood at the side, his heart filled with complicated emotions. He had thought that Tan Rou, who used to be a jerk, had suddenly changed because she had been forced to accept reality. In addition, she had been bullied the other day at the Tan family’s party that night. So, she finally became obedient and sensible.
He didn’t think that Tan Rou had been living such a hard life in the Tan family since she was a young girl. Since she has never been loved, she would use all her strength to protest, trying to get the other’s attention.
Now that she had returned to the Tao family and felt their genuine love for her, her uneasiness was naturally soothed. She had become more sensible.
Tao Zheng looked at Tan Rou lovingly. He felt heartbroken for his little sister.
Mrs.Tao was still upset and kept caressing Tan Rou’s face. “My dear child! You’ve suffered all these years! I was the one who came late. I should have found you earlier so that my child could come home earlier. I’ve wasted all my love on Tan Jing. I regret it every time I think about it.”
Thinking back to what happened earlier, Mrs. Tao said hatefully, “Tan Song, that scumbag! Chen Yi, that evil woman! They treated you so badly in the past and now they dare to find trouble with you. They’ve gone too far!”
Tao Zheng also recalled what Tan Song had said earlier. He furrowed his brows and the heartbroken look in his eyes was replaced by a cold gaze. “I was woken up by him just now and heard his nonsense. I was looking for something that I could use to beat him up but he managed to run away before I found one!”
Mrs Tao nodded her head. “I wouldn’t be satisfied even if I beat up that scumbag! ”
Without another word, Tao Zheng walked towards the door.
“Brother, what are you doing?” Tan Rou quickly stopped him.
Tao Zheng lowered his eyes, his face filled with anger. “He had the audacity to show up at our house and act crazy. I can’t let him bully us like this. I’m going to the Tan family to teach him a lesson so that I can take revenge for you!
Tan Rou laughed. Her brother was an upright person and loved her wholeheartedly. However, being too rigid would cause them to break easily. Those who were as emotional as him would definitely end up being hurt. He was too easy to be used and hurt by people with ulterior motives.
Tan Rou persuaded him in a low voice, Brother, it really wouldn’t be necessary for you to go there. They can’t do anything to me now. I can handle it. If you go now, two of your fists wouldn’t be enough to fight them. He has so many bodyguards. What if they hurt you? Let’s take it slow, okay? ”
Then, she consoled Mrs.Tao, “Mum, don’t be sad anymore. I don’t really have any feelings left for them. I won’t be sad if I don’t hold any expectations for them. I’m satisfied as long as we can live a good life.
“I’m hungry now. Let’s eat!”
Tao Zheng felt a little guilty when he heard Tan Rou’s words. It was all his fault for not being strong enough to help his family. He had to plan properly and grow up as quickly as possible so that he could seek justice for his sister.
With this thought, Tao Zheng’s face became determined. His eyes no longer looked young and confused but they became resolute.. They flickered with an extremely imposing light, and he returned to his room without a word.
Mrs. Tao wiped her tears away. She had a serious look on her face as well. Mrs Tao seemed to be deep in thought, exuding an aura that was different from her usual self. She gently patted Tan Rou and said, “Child, I’ve prepared food for you. Let’s eat immediately!”
Tan Rou looked at Tao Zheng’s and Mrs. Tao’s expressions and was a little surprised. The Tao family had always been honest and dutiful, living their own cosy lives. They were just ordinary people. However Tan Rou could sense a unique aura on their faces that weren’t even commonly seen on the faces of those wealthy people.
Mrs. Tao was just a housewife, but right now, she seemed like a strong woman who was a domineering one. Tao Zheng was like a knife that had just been sharpened, revealing its edge.
Tan Rou suppressed the emotions in her heart and nodded obediently. She did subconsciously think that perhaps her family was not a simple one. She had been given a second chance and perhaps she had inadvertently changed her fate, causing things to be different now.
