Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 126 - 130

126 126 Cliché

After sitting down and looking at the dazzling menu, Tao Qi scratched his head in distress, not knowing what to order.

Tan Jing smiled slightly and took the initiative to order for Tao Qi and herself as a regular. Firstly, she wanted to show Tao Qi that she came often and lived a good life. Secondly, she was afraid that Tao Qi would make a fool of himself. Tan Jing didn’t want to be secretly laughed at by the waiter.

While waiting for his meal, Tao Qi sat on the chair and moved around. No matter what he did, he felt uncomfortable. He looked at Tan Jing, who was leisurely drinking water across from him, and felt that she was a stranger. Ever since he came back, Sister Jingjing seemed to have changed.

Tan Jing’s eyes turned, trying to get some information from Tao Qi. “Little Qi, are you happy after you got home? How does Tan Rou treat you? I saw that the two of you were quite close just now. Sigh…..Speaking of which, I’m a little sad. Now that you have a biological sister, I …” Tan Jing showed a lonely look.

Tao Qi subconsciously explained, “A good relationship with her? She was the reason why I got scolded by my mother and brother when I got home. I don’t like her!”

Tan Jing heard what she wanted to hear and was secretly happy. As she had expected, after Tao Qi returned home, a lot must have happened in the Tao family. Then, she pretended to be surprised and asked with a frown, “Why would mom and big brother scold you? They should be the ones who love you the most. What happened?”

Tao Qi was still not very happy when he recalled this. “It’s because I don’t want to acknowledge Tan Rou as my big sister. Sister Jingjing, you’d better come home. I still want you to be my sister,”

Tan Jing shook his head, a little disappointed, “Ever since Tan Rou went back, mom and the others have been … but it’s fine. Even if we don’t live together, you’re still my little brother. I’ll bring you out for more delicious food. You won’t disown me just because you have Tan Rou as your sister, right?”

Tan Jing’s words were deliberately vague, as if she couldn’t bear to say bad things about Tan Rou and the Tao family behind their backs. However, it made Tao Qi understand immediately that Sister Jingjing still missed the family. It was because of Tan Rou that mother and the others were not willing to acknowledge Sister Jingjing. Tan Rou was indeed a hateful woman!

Tan Jing looked at the angry expression slowly appearing on Tao Qi’s face and curved her lips in satisfaction. That’s right, it must have been an accident just now. Tao Qi was still on her side. She would not give up the glory of the Tan family and return to the Tao family but if Tao Qi really hoped so, she would let him continue to hold on to this beautiful wish.

“Don’t worry, Sister Jingjing. I’ll definitely convince mom and the others. I’ll make sure you come back home soon.”

Tan Jing pretended to be in a difficult position. “Xiao Qi, don’t worry about this. Be obedient and don’t make things unpleasant with Tan Rou because of me. She has a bad temper; even in school, she often … Sigh, I don’t mind it but you’re still young. So, don’t get into a conflict with her!” Speaking of this, Tan Jing seemed to recall being bullied by Tan Rou in school. She showed a frightened expression on her face and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Tao Qi’s eyes widened. He couldn’t believe that Tan Rou was bullying Sister Jingjing in school! Sure enough, Tan Rou had been fierce at the school gate just now. It turned out that Sister Jingjing’s abnormal behavior was because she was afraid of Tan Rou’s bullying!

Tao Qi felt that he had discovered the truth. That was close. He had almost been deceived by Tan Rou. Was this how she had conquered her mother and the others? How cunning!
