63 063 Let’s Get Bankrupt
Mrs. Tao entered the kitchen and stared at the pot of porridge in a daze.
Of course, the Tao family wasn’t as poor as the outside world thought. For so many years, the Tao couple never mentioned the family’s business. They even kept it a secret from their child, thinking that they were born into an ordinary family.
All these years, Mr. And Mrs. Tao had intentionally distanced themselves from the wealth and glory of the past and only wanted to maintain the lives of the most ordinary people.
For one, she really didn’t want to care about the deception and mockery in their social circle. Plus, she hoped that the children wouldn’t be affected by external vanity and rely on their own hard work for everything.
Therefore, other than the most basic of expenses, Mr. and Mrs. tao never bought any luxury goods for their child. They supported their studies and hobbies but they would never allow them to waste anything and spend without restraint.
The good news was that their children were all brought up well. Tao Zheng had been very sensible since he was young. He was so sensible that he even kept his hobby of photography a secret from his family. Mother Tao’s heart ached for him but she found it funny at the same time. With the Tao family’s assets, it would be a piece of cake for Tao Zheng to place all of his branded cameras in the house and fill up the entire villa.
Two of their other children had their own strengths and left home early to study and work abroad.
Even Tan Rou, who had just been found, was rebellious at the beginning but soon learned to be sensible. She had even put her specialty to use and wanted to help the family earn money.
This was exactly what Mr. And Mrs. Tao wanted. They wanted to live an ordinary and happy life, but now, they couldn’t go on like this. If they couldn’t even protect their own children, what was the point?
Mrs. Tao’s eyes turned determined. They didn’t want to make this public but that didn’t mean they didn’t have the ability to. Who was the Tan family anyways?
The Tan family’s words and attitude did not anger Mrs. Tao. They chose to hide their identity earlier on because they had seen through all these false titles. They had seen too many people who fawned over the rich and powerful, so they just treated it as a dog barking.
However, the Tan family should not have mistreated Tan Rou and even bullied her at their doorstep.
Mrs. Tao laughed coldly. Karma would come for them sooner or later. Since the Tan family was so insistent on getting themselves into trouble, she decided to help them out.
Mrs. Tao took out her phone and gave Mr. Tao a call. “Hubby, it’s time for us to end this life. It’s time to do something.”
Mr. Tao left for work early in the morning. He racked his brains to find a place where no one knew him. He was an influential man in the business world but every single day, he would play the role of an ordinary employee.
Mr Tao was still a little confused. He asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t we decide to keep it as a secret?”
Mrs Tao told Mr. Tao about what had happened earlier. Her voice was a little choked. “Our Xiao Rou have been so obedient. She went through so much but still grew up to be such a beautiful and sensible girl. The heavens are watching over us and taking pity on us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t even be able to say anything about our regrets! If we continue to hide it and not do anything, how are we worthy enough to be her parents?”
Mr. Tao’s tone changed instantly. His heart ached for his daughter. However, Mr Tao was different from Tan Song, who was merely a paper tiger. Although he had been living a stable and ordinary life over the years, he had not slacked off and still had a clear mind.
After hearing Mrs. Tao’s words, Mr. Tao’s kind gaze changed. He started to exude his own aura, turning from an ordinary middle-aged man to an enigmatic man.
After a moment of silence, Mr Tao said calmly, “I understand. Don’t worry, I’ll make the arrangements. The Tan family hasn’t improved in the past few years. They’re just frogs in a well.”
Mrs. Tao heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “Didn’t they think that they look down on others as they please just because they are rich? If that;s the case, our family has enough money to do whatever we want. Let’s solve this issue with their ways. We’ll crush them with money and make them bankrupt!”
On the other end of the call, Mr. Tao nodded. “We shall do according to what you want. They should pay the price for torturing out daughter. We merely left that society but that doesn’t mean that we’re dead. For my daughter, I will return to that world so that they will never be able to have a good comeback.”
Mrs. Tao finally laughed. “Alright, I’m going to cook for the children. I was really hoping that we’ll be able to keep this peaceful life but the Tan family was the ones that forced us. They should never blame us for not showing them any mercy.”
Father Tao laughed too. “It’s fine. We can still continue to live happily like this. Our child is home now, so what’s there to be afraid of? We don’t lack anything anyways. So, we can vent our anger as we please. There’s nothing to hold us back.”
With a simple conversation, the fate of the Tan family has been decided.
