Chapter 391: 391 Can’t Find It?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
He Ling stood aside resentfully, and after the two of them finished, she asked, “Jingjing, Xiaoru, is there something that both of you are hiding from me?”
Zhao Ru denied it outright: “Lingling, what can we hide from you? Don’t think too much, we are good friends, and we won’t do anything behind your back.”
Tan Jing felt that Zhao Ru’s ability to tell lies with her eyes open was getting better and better. Why didn’t she think that Zhao Ru was this clever before? It must be that Wei Ling was there before, blocking Zhao Ru’s brilliance, but now that Wei Ling is gone, Zhao Ru’s talent is fully revealed.
Compared with the stupid He Ling, Tan Jing preferred Zhao Ru because she can clearly see what kind of person Zhao Ru is.
He Ling smiled slightly, “Alright.”
Tan Jing and Zhao Ru glanced at each other and did not speak again. Tan Jing didn’t think it was necessary to tell He Ling, but Zhao Ru was afraid that there would be too many people and Tan Jing didn’t take her there.
Zhao Ru is very much looking forward to the birthday party of Miss Tao’s family from the Capital. She will buy a few new clothes once she returns home. She will definitely appear at the party in a beautiful way. Then, perhaps she will meet a rich and handsome rich young master, and have a romantic encounter like Cinderella.
The video on the Internet was on the headlines of all major websites within a day. Tan Song took this opportunity to come out for an interview. He was very angry and said that he would definitely pursue this matter to the end, and the Tan family would never let the Tao family get away with it.
The almighty netizens are also giving full play to their ingenuity. Countless computer experts dig out information about the Tao family on the Internet.
To everyone’s surprise, they can’t find any important information about the Tao family at all. There is not a single piece of big information about them. Even Tan Jing was only mentioned in the case of Miss Tan’s return, which caused a lot of trouble at that time, and the news about Tan Rou seemed to have been erased.
Tan Song also sent people to search for them. Even after spending a lot of money to find hackers to hack into the system of Father Tao’s work unit, he only found a little bit of information about his employment in the past. They couldn’t find anything else.
Damn it!” Tan Jing poked her phone vigorously, wishing to pierce the phone directly.
“Why is there no news about the Tao family at all? All of the information released is all information that I have leaked to them! Plus, only 1% of them have been released so far!!!! It isn’t even valuable!!!”
Tan Song also found it incredible, “Although the Tao family is a small family, they would have left information on the Internet, right? The children in their family, except for Tan Rou and the youngest one, who is going to school, there is no information about the two elder ones.”
“Someone asked me for a refund.” Tan Jing unfolded the phone and showed it to Tan Song, “It’s exactly the same person from last time. He said that the information can’t be sent out at all.”
Tan Song said: “Find a few more people. This is a good time for our family to turn around. Once more evidence can be found to prove that the Tao family are the ones who swapped the children, our family’s reputation on the Internet will change. Everyone will come to us instead.”
Tan Jing poked her phone irritably, “I have already found several big profiles with high popularity and a large number of fans, paid them a high price to spread the news, but all of them have asked for a refund. They would rather compensate me for the loss than releasing that information.
Just find a blogger with a lower reputation.” Tan Song said.
“It’s useless.” Tan Jing said, “They don’t want to take my order at all.”
Tan Song had a bad feeling, “Is there someone behind the Tao family helping them?”

Tan Jing said: “Could it be that the Zhuang family is behind this? That sick child, Zhuang Liu, has a very good relationship with Tan Rou. Maybe Tan Rou has already climbed into Zhuang Liu’s bed.”
Tan Song said with a straight face, “The Zhuang family is nothing, as long as you can marry the young master of the Tao family from the Capital, then the Zhuang family will no longer be a threat.
“Besides, Zhuang Liu is a young man who can’t make a splash, and he still has his uncle on top of him. With his uncle holding him back, he definitely won’t be able to help the Tao family. I guess there is a problem with the system and it has been bad recently.”
He regrets it very much now. Why did they just send Tan Rou back to that place instead of throwing it away? If Tan Rou had been thrown away, none of these would have happened.
“Back then, that little bastard Tan Rou should have been allowed to fend for herself!” Tan Song said viciously..
Chapter 392: 392 Li Wen causing trouble again
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Father…” Tan Jing hesitated and said, “I want to ask you something.”
Tan Song said impatiently: “Go ahead.”
“About Tan Rou…” Tan Jing asked, “Where did you send Tan Rou back then? Why did she come back? And why do you say her brain is broken?”
Tan Song obviously didn’t want to tell Tan Jing. He waved his hand and said,
“This matter has nothing to do with you. Don’t ask too many questions. You just need to do what you should do.”
Tan Jing gritted her teeth. Tan Song still refuses to talk to her about this matter. What was he worried about?
“Brother Song.” Before the father and daughter could finish speaking, Li Wen came down from the stairs. She was wearing a tube top skirt that was flattering her body.
Seeing her coming down, Tan Song’s complexion became better, and he asked gently, “Ah Wen, what’s wrong?”
Brother Song? All Wen? Tan Jing couldn’t stand it anymore, how could they be so disgusting. One must know that Tan Song and Chen Yi have never called each other by nicknames.
It’s about my daughter Li Jia.” Li Wen glanced at Tan Jing, “I went to visit Jiajia yesterday, and she was living a very sad life. The prison guard told me that Jiajia seemed to be suffering from depression. I hope they can bring Jiajia out to see a doctor.”
Tan Song also learned about Li Jia’s situation, and felt that it was not easy for the mother and daughter which was why he wanted to help them. Now that, he was with Li Wen, Li Wen’s daughter would be his daughter too and he has the responsibility to take care of this new daughter.
“Okay, I’ll go through the formalities for her.” Tan Song promised, “I’ll apply the application for as many days as possible.”
“Thank you Brother Song!” Li Wen put his arms around Tan Song’s neck, and made out with Tan Song in front of Tan Jing.
Tan Jing was so angry that her face turned red. She threw off her pillow and was about to go upstairs.
However, Li Wen was not satisfied with them and she said to Tan Song, “Brother Song, if Jiajia comes out, she will definitely not be able to live in the house we rented before. I didn’t renew the rent after the house expired. Plus, I don’t feel relieved to let Jia Jia go out and live on her own.
Tan Jing stood on the stairs, wanting to hear what this woman wanted to say.
Tan Song said, “Take Jia Jia home to live with us, your daughter will be my daughter.”
Li Wen didn’t want to look too happy, “Will it trouble you too much?”
“No trouble, just clean up the bedroom next to Jingjing for her to live in.” Tan Song looked at Tan Jing, “Jingjing, clean up the room with your Aunt Li tonight.”
Tan Jing turned around, and seeing Li Wen’s smug expression, she burst into anger, “Why do you ask me to clean her room? A prisoner is asking me to clean up her room. How can she be so shameless?”
Li Wen said fearfully, “Forget it, Brother Song. We’ll just let Jiajia live in the utility room. I think the room is quite big, and 1 can just put in a bed for her. Your utility room is much bigger than mine. The house I rented was worse than this. She will definitely agree to it.”
Tan Song was falling in love with Li Wen more and more. She always speaks softly, and she knows her limits. She never quarrels with Tan Song, and was an interesting woman, which is many times better than Chen Yi.
“No, I’m the head of the family. I will make the decisions.” Tan Song said sharply.
Jingjing, help Aunt Li clean up the room together. Jiajia will be your sister in the future. Once she gets out of prison, you have to help her.”
Tan Jing really wanted to ask Tan Song, ‘Why didn’t you ask someone to help me’, but she knew that Tan Song wouldn’t talk to her now. So, she went back to her room full of anger. Thinking that Li Jia would live next door to her in the future, Tan Jing wished to drive Li Wen’s mother and daughter out.

“She seems to be mad at me.” Li Wen hooked Tan Song’s little finger and rubbed it against his palm, “I’d better move out with Jiajia.”
“Don’t listen to her.” Tan Song was a little annoyed, “This girl has been spoiled by Chen Yi, she has no manners at all.”
Li Wen said: “Please don’t blame her for it. As a wealthy young lady, she just couldn’t accept Jiajia for now after what happened to Jiajia.”
“Hmph, without me she would be nothing.” Tan Song’s voice was very loud, passing through the door and falling into Tan Jing’s ears.
Tan Jing suddenly missed Chen Yi a little more. No matter how bad Chen Yi was, she was her biological mother, and a mother would always love her own daughter..
Chapter 393: 393 Unhappy
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Where did Chen Yi go? After Chen Yi was kicked out by Tan Song, she lived in a relatively low-end apartment. Tan Song gave her an amount of money, but Chen Yi spent money lavishly, and spent one third of the money in just one month.
In order to get more money, Chen Yi could only call Tan Jing and ask her if she persuaded Tan Song.
Tan Jing herself was already annoyed to death by Li Wen. How could she have time to speak to her father, getting him to remarry Chen Yi.
Chen Yi felt that it was because she was not by Tan Jing’s side that Tan Jing didn’t care about her affairs, so she wanted to ask Tan Jing out, “Jingjing, mom misses you, can’t you come to just meet me for lunch?”
Tan Jing was replying to Zhao Ru’s message about being absent from school tomorrow morning to go to VB to buy clothes. VB offers the most high-end gowns in this city. Previously, she wanted to have a gown custom-made but didn’t get the chance to do so.
While replying to Zhao Ru’s message, she was having a call with Chen Yi and accidentally read out what was on the message.
Jingjing, are you going to VB to shop?” Chen Yi yelled, “Did your father give you so much money?”
Tan Jing’s ears were almost deafened by her noise, “Mom, keep your voice down!”
Chen Yi forced her to answer, “Jingjing, did your father give you a lot of money?”
Tan Jing took the phone away from her ears and said irritably, “I customized this suit not only for myself, but for the future of the Tan family. My dad said he would take me to the birthday party of Miss Tao’s family in the Capital. 1 just want to wear a decent dress so that the young master of the Tao family from the Capital will think that I am worthy of him.”
Chen Yi muttered, “Tan Song already divorced me. What does the future of the Tan family have to do with me?”
Tan Jing didn’t hear clearly, and continued to appease Chen Yi, “Mom, just wait. I can help you convince my dad when 1 get engaged to the young master of the Tao family.
Chen Yi doesn’t trust Tan Jing very much. She doesn’t trust anyone now, she only trusts herself.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yi felt that she couldn’t sit here and wait.
She had to take the initiative to find Tan Jing. Even if she couldn’t persuade Tan Song to remarry her, she could still get some money from Tan Jing. Tan Song had asked Tan Jing to go to VB to get clothes which meant that he definitely wouldn’t just give Tan Jing a small amount of money.
The next morning, the head teacher of Tan Rou’s class looked at the vacant seats in her class and asked curiously, “Why did these three students ask for leave at the same time?”
Tan Rou went to VB with her elder brothers. Before entering the door, they saw the full gowns from the glass window. Every dress was very beautiful, and it definitely looked costly.
“Brother, why did you bring me here?” Although Tan Rou asked this way, she already guessed in her heart that her parents wanted to reveal their identity.
Tao Zhi smiled and said, “To ship! I ordered a dress for you, and you can try it on later.”
Tao Zheng looked at the seven-figure dress on the sign and said with admiration, “Brother, have you spent all your salary for these years to buy a dress for your sister?”
Tao Zhi raised his eyebrows lightly, and asked, “What do you think?”
Tao Zheng took out the watch that was only a few thousand dollars in his pocket, and felt embarrassed to even present it, “Xiao Rou, the second brother doesn’t have much money now, but just wait until 1 get more money. I will definitely buy you a luxurious gift.”
Tan Rou cherishes their gifts very much. Whether it’s the seven-figure dress from her eldest brother, a watch worth thousands of dollars from her second brother, or the painting that Tao Qi gave her early in the morning, she liked them very much. She will love anything that her family gave her even if it was just a kerbstone.”
“Let’s try on the dress first.” Tao Zhi carried over a beautifully wrapped gift box,

“See if you like it or not. If you don’t like it, we can change it.”
Holding the gift box, Tan Rou smiled and said, “I like everything that my brother gave you.”
She went in to try on the gown, and Tao Zheng went out, saying that he wanted to find another gift for his sister, and he would come to pick them up later. Tao Zhi didn’t stop him, if he didn’t give his sister a good gift, he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.
“Big brother, it’s really you!” Tan Jing saw Tao Zhi from the glass window, so she hurried in, “Brother, why are you here?”
Seeing that it was Tan Jing, Tao Zhi’s expression changed. He pretended not to see Tan Jing, and continued to look at the dresses in the shop..
Chapter 394: 394 I Want One Too
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Brother, why are you ignoring me? I’m Jingjing!” Tan Jing deliberately stood in front of Tao Zhi, “Don’t you know me?”
“I’ve already said it last time, don’t call me big brother again!” There were quite a few people in the shop, Tao Zhi didn’t want to get angry with Tan Jing, “You are not my sister, 1 have a sister myself.”
People around cast strange glances at them, how could someone mistakenly recognize another man as her brother?
“Big brother…” Tan Jing burst into tears, “1 don’t know what’s wrong between us, but I’ve always regarded you as my big brother. Even if you don’t want to acknowledge me, I’m still willing to call you big brother.”
Tao Zhi has lived for more than 20 years, and he has never seen such a thick-skinned person. He had already told her not to talk to her anymore, but she was still telling him shamelessly that he was about to curse.
“Miss Tan Jing, are you here to try on the dress?” The clerk came over with a smile, “Your dress is ready, please come with me to try it on.”
Tan Jing wiped away her tears, “Big brother, I’m going to try on the clothes first, please wait for me.”
She pulled up Zhao Ru next to her, and said naturally, “Come with me, and help me hold the dress up.
However, Zhao Ru remained motionless, her eyes fixed on Tao Zhi, as if she wanted to drill a hole into Tao Zhi.
Tao Zhi was speechless. What’s going on with these girls? Why are they staring at him? Were there words written on her face?
“Let’s go!” Tan Jing dragged Zhao Ru away.
After Zhao Ru walked away, she suddenly asked, “Is that Tan Rou’s elder brother?”
Tan Jing said lightly: “Yes, he worked overseas before this and recently came back.”
Zhao Ru thought in her heart that Tan Rou’s brother must have come here to shop.
According to the economic level of the Tao family, they would not be able to afford anything here. So, there is only one possibility, Tao Zhi brought back the money from the Tao family.
Didn’t the Tao family move to a new house? It seems to be the time when Tao Zhi came home as well.
“He’s so handsome! Is he dating anyone?” Zhao Ru asked.
Tan Jing thought of Zhao Ru as a toad who wants to eat swan meat.
No matter what, Tao Zhi was too good for Zhao Ru. He had an excellent job in the past and he must have brought a lot of money back. Otherwise, the Tao family would not have moved to the Elegant Jade Residence.
“Even if he isn’t dating anyone, he wouldn’t date you. You’re not good enough for him.” Tan Jing said.
Zhao Ru felt unhappy, “I haven’t tried it yet, how do I know I can’t catch up?”
Tan Jing didn’t want her to have any hopes. “Just because of your looks. Both of you are not a good match.”
Zhao Ru was average-looking, not ugly, but definitely not good-looking either. Tao Zhi, on the other hand, was a very handsome man; even in the entertainment industry, there weren’t many of them who were as handsome as him.
Zhao Ru wanted to say a few words of rebuttal, but the door in front of them suddenly opened, which interrupted their conversation.
“Tan Rou!” Tan Jing was very surprised, “Why are you here?”
Immediately afterwards, she saw the watery blue dress on Tan Rou’s body, which looked luxurious at first glance.
Wow, so beautiful!” Zhao Ru exclaimed subconsciously, “This is very similar to the sparkling blue dress that Cinderella wore when dancing with the prince in the movie.”
The water lake blue slim dress, with puff sleeves on the shoulders, has a hint of playfulness mixed with maturity. The skirt had a reflective surface and the crystals and diamonds refracted the light, making Tan Rou’s whole body brighten up.
It was difficult to look good in a gown of such colour. Anyone with a darker skin tone would look like a refugee who fled from another country and had put on a stolen dress.

But, Tan Rou’s skin was very fair, just like the suet jade brand she bought, and it’s smooth. The gown on her body not only perfectly outlines her figure, but also magnifies the advantages of her whole body, making her more beautiful.
Tan Jing was very jealous. This dress was so beautiful, it was even prettier than the ones she had chosen. She really wanted to take this dress off Tan Rou and put it on herself.
“I want a dress that is exactly like this one.” Tan Jing didn’t want to lose to Tan Rou.
The clerk continued to smile and said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Tan Jing, this is an exclusive custom made by another customer of ours. Our store can only make one and there will be no others.”
Tan Jing was very unhappy. She had to get Tan Rou’s suit on herself, and she had to rely on this suit to shine at the birthday party..
Chapter 395: 395 Bad Intentions
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Xiao Rou, you look too mature in this dress.” Tan Jing reached out to touch Tan Ron’s skirt, “You are only eighteen, but you look like twenty-eight in this suit, it doesn’t look good at all, take it off quickly.”
Tan Rou stepped aside a little, avoiding her hand, and said coldly, “1 can see it myself, I don’t need you to tell me.”
Tan Jing continued: “Xiao Rou, this dress really doesn’t look good on you.” She poked Zhao Ru’s arm, “Zhao Ru, do you think it looks good?”
Zhao Ru thinks that every set of clothes here are beautiful. She has never seen so many such beautiful clothes, each one is made by famous masters. Every gown here were very beautiful, especially the one on Tan Rou. It was so beautiful that it does not look like something a human can make.
“Zhao Ru, do you think it looks good?” Tan Jing pinched Zhao Ru again.
Zhao Ru clutched her arm in pain, nodded and said, “It’s pretty, very pretty!”
Tan Rou sneered, “Tan Jing, did you hear that?”
Tan Jing said angrily: “Zhao Ru, do you really think Xiao Rou looks good in this dress?”
Zhao Ru came back to her senses, shook her head hastily, and said against her will, “It’s very… very ugly.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Tan Rou raised her legs and walked outside, “I didn’t wear it for you to see.”
Tan Jing liked this dress so much, she had to get her hands on it!
“Xiao Tou, wait a minute.” Tan Jing grabbed a yellow dress next to her, “Try this one, it will definitely look good on you.”
Tan Rou said, “I’m not blind yet, so I don’t need you to choose clothes for me.”
At this time, Tao Zhi came to the door of the dressing room. Seeing Tan Ron’s appearance after wearing the dress, he clicked his tongue in admiration: “Xiao Rou, you look so good in this dress. From now on, you should dress yourself in this standard.”
Zhao Ru believed more and more that Tao Zhi was very rich, and she had to seize the opportunity to hang out in front of Tao Zhi more often, maybe they could become a couple.
Big brother, Xiao Rou really doesn’t look good in this skirt.” Tan Jing picked up another red skirt, “Let her try this, it suits her figure very well.”
Tao Zhi saw the “deep V” of the red dress at a glance. Not only was the front deep, but the back too. The designer of the skirt wanted to expose all the parts of his body that could be exposed.
“What are you worried about?” Tao Zhi came over angrily, “If you think it looks good, then you can put it on yourself!”
Tan Jing paused and put down her skirt, “I don’t look good in this.”
“Our Xiao Rou doesn’t look good in this either.” Tao Zhi took his sister behind him, “If you want to buy clothes, go there quickly, don’t waste our time here.”
Tan Jing still didn’t give up, “Xiao Rou, you really don’t look good in this dress.” “I won’t give it to you even if it doesn’t look good.” Tan Rou smiled, “Didn’t you hear what the assistant said? She said that this dress is an exclusive custom-made dress, and they can only make one dress, not the second one.” “We have already customized this skirt, so it belongs to us. Even if 1 don’t look good in it, I won’t let you have it. I don’t think the store has the guts to design another one and sell it to them right?”
The assistant hurried forward and said, “Miss, you don’t have to worry. We have a reputation to maintain. We will never disclose the privacy of our customers, let alone sell our customers’ design drafts to other customers.” “Jingjing, you better not choose that dress.” Zhao Ru took a fancy to Tao Zhi, so she decided to say a few words for Tan Rou, “Your skin is dark, you won’t look good in that dress.”
Tan Jing’s skin is inherited from Tan Song. It is not particularly dark, but it is several degrees darker than Tan Ron’s. After returning to Tan’s household, Tan Jing has spent a lot of money on whitening, but unfortunately it didn’t have much effect.
There was still a huge difference between her and Tan Rou.

After hearing whatZhao Ru said, Tan Jing said angrily, “Zhao Ru, who are you helping? Do you still want me to take you to the banquet?”
As soon as Zhao Ru heard this, she quickly changed her statement. She said against her conscience: “Actually, this skirt looks better on Jingjing.”
“Heh! This is none of my business?” Tan Rou sneered, “If Tan Jing likes it, then go and order one herself.”
Tan Jing’s financial power can only allow her to have a ready-made gown in store. She wouldn’t be able to afford a draft designed by a designer alone. Even if she has a design draft, there may not be a master to make clothes for her.
After hearing Tan Ron’s words, Tan Jing became even more jealous of Tan Rou. If Tao Zhi was still Tan Jing’s brother, would he also customize a dress for her?
Chapter 396: 396 Senior Makeup Artist, Alice
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Seeing that Tan Jing was making trouble, the assistant was afraid that it would affect their business. So, she hurried over to distract Tan Jing, “Miss Tan Jing, your dress has been arranged, do you think you can try it on now?”
Ever since Tan Jing saw Tan Ron’s dress, she was no longer interested in other dresses. To be precise, she no longer liked the ordinary dresses in the store.
So Tan Jing asked, “No matter what, 1 am still a customer here. You would have to serve me no matter what, right?”
The assistant suddenly had a bad feeling, she nodded and said, “Yes, the customer is always right. Just tell us what you need, and we will do our best to meet your needs.”
Tan Jing put on a high posture. She pointed to Tan Ron’s dress and said, “I want a dress with the same specifications as hers. Find one for me.”
The assistant felt helpless as she said: “Miss Tan Jing, although we were the one who made the dress, the design draft did not belong to us. Plus, the clothes designed by our designer are not of this style…”
Tan Jing didn’t listen to her, “I don’t care. You have to find a way to get one out for me, otherwise 1 won’t buy it.”
The assistant didn’t dare to call the shots, so she said, “Then let me ask the store manager for you.”
“What do you want to ask me?” A slender young woman stepped on high heels and came in. As soon as she came in, she saw Tao Zhi and Tan Rou standing on the side, and said with a smile, “Oh, your little sister is wearing her dress. It’s beautiful!”
Tao Zhi also smiled at her, and said proudly, “It is my sister after all.”
The young woman put down the big bag in her hand, and took off the sunglasses around her eyes, revealing a pair of big and bright eyes. Upon closer inspection, the woman’s eyes are not particularly large, but she made them look pretty with makeup.
“Long time no see, Brother Tao.” The young woman said.
“Long time no see, Alice.” Tao Zhi greeted in return.
Alice nodded slightly, turned to the assistant just now, and asked, “What did you want to ask me just now?”
The assistant walked up to Alice’s side and whispered a few words in her ear. Alice’s face changed slightly after listening.
Miss Tan Jing, isn’t it?” Alice’s expression was very serious, “If you need something, we will try our best to arrange it for you, but if you keep making unreasonable demands, we don’t have to do your business. VB is not a place where you can cause trouble here.”
Alice was not only the store manager of the VB branch, she was also a shareholder, so she has the right to decide whether to do business with customers or not.
Tan Jing didn’t dare to offend Alice. If she offended Alice, she would be blacklisted by all of the VB stores. Even if she wanted to customize clothes in the future, VB would not make them for her.
“I’m really sorry, Miss Alice. I didn’t make any unreasonable demands. 1 just wanted her to find me a dress similar to Tan Ron’s. If you can’t find it, forget it.” Tan Jing said.
Alice said to the assistant, “In this case, take this customer to pick out clothes.”
She turned her face and said to Tao Zhi with a smile: “Please give me a minute.
1 will have to wash my hands before doing your sister’s make up.”
Makeup?” Tan Jing hadn’t gone far. After hearing Alice say to make up for Tan Rou, she turned back again,
“Miss Alice, are you doing the make up for her personally?”
“Yes, this customer has asked me to do it personally and I can’t turn it down.”

Although she sounded helpless, her expression didn’t seem forced at all. Instead, she looked happy to do so.
Tan Jing then said, “Miss Alice, I’m actually here for your make-up skills.”
Alice replied lightly, “Sure! As soon as you change into your gown, there will be a make-up artist for you.”
Tan Jing went further and said, “Actually, I came here for you!”
Who is Alice? She was a well-known top makeup artist at home and abroad. No matter what kind of face she was presented with, she can make them look beautiful; even an ugly duckling can be turned into a white swan. If Tan Jing can get Alice’s help, her shortcoming of poor skin can be eliminated..
Chapter 397: 397 Unyielding
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Thank you for liking it.” Alice smiled and politely rejected Tan Jing. “But I can only do makeup for one person a day. If you need it, please come back another day.”
Tan Jing continued to convince her, “1 have a very important banquet today. I really need your help.”
However, Alice’s attitude was very firm. “I’m sorry, Miss Tan Jing. I’ll only do makeup for one person today. If you want to make an appointment, you can come back another day.” She never had a rule that she could only do makeup for one person a day. It was just that she didn’t want to do makeup for Tan Jing. She had long known about Tan Jing and Tan Rou. She knew very well what kind of person Tan Jing was. Even if Tan Jing came alone today, Alice would still come up with an excuse not to do her makeup.
“I’ll pay three times the price for your time!” Tan Jing’s heart was bleeding. The makeup fees in VB were not cheap. She had already spent a lot of money on clothes and makeup. If she were to pay twice the price, she would have no money left.
Miss Tan Jing, I’ve already made myself very clear.” Alice would not be swayed by soft or hard tactics. She would never bother with those people who she did not like or who would go against her. This was her pride as a top makeup artist. “I will not do makeup for you today. If you are not happy about it, you can leave.”
The makeup artist beside her was also unhappy. She asked with a cold face, “Miss Tan Jing, if you never wanted us as your makeup artist, why did you call for us then?”
Tan Jing had to make a decision quickly. Should she insist on Alice’s makeup or let the other makeup artists do it for her? If she didn’t make a decision now, there might be no one left.
Tao Zhi’s patience was limited as well. “Alice, can you do my sister’s makeup now?”
“Of course.” Alice went into another room. “I’ll go wash my hands and disinfect them.” With that, she walked straight to the bathroom and no longer cared about Tan Jing.
“Alice! Alice!” Tan Jing shouted twice, but Alice ignored her.
“Miss Tan Jing, if you don’t want to pick anything from here nor want makeup services from our makeup artist, you should leave.” With the store manager backing her up, the shop assistant spoke with a firm tone.
I’ll choose!” Tan Jing cursed Alice silently. D*mn Alice, how dare she reject her request! She must teach Alice and VB a lesson!
Tan Rou and Alice went to the VIP dressing room to get their makeup done. They could hear Tan Jing’s voice nitpicking the dress and makeup skills across the dressing room. Those who didn’t know better would think that the makeup artist’s skills were terrible. In fact, the makeup artists in VB were all well-known makeup artists at home and abroad. Although they could not compare to Alice, they were still very famous.
“You look so much like your brother.” Alice kept smiling, not affected by Tan Jing’s reaction. “Look at your eyes and lips. You’re even prettier than your brother.”
Tan Rou smiled and replied, “There are many who’ve said that I look like my big brother.”
“You really do!” Alice cupped her face. “Your face is perfect. I’ve put on makeup for so many years, but I’ve never seen such a beautiful face!”
“Thank you for your compliment, Sister Alice.” Tan Rou said obediently.
Alice smiled like a blooming flower when she heard Tan Rou call her sister. “Oh dear, could you please call me that again?”
Tan Rou called her ‘Sister Alice’ again, which made her feel delighted.

Tao Zhi pushed the door open and entered. He heard Tan Jing’s scoldingin the room next to them. He shook his head and said, “I don’t know how she can change her expression so quickly. One moment, she’s smiling, and the next moment, she’s scolding them as if they’re worthless.”
“Aiyaya, she’s a child from your family. Why didn’t your family manage her well?” Alice mocked Tao Zhi.
Tao Zhi said, “She’s bad from the core, and it has nothing to do with our education.”
Alice looked at Tan Rou, then at Tao Zhi, and then at Tan Jing. She agreed, “What you said makes a lot of sense. She’s just bad. No matter how much education she receives, it can’t make up for those issues that she has.”
Once Alice was done with Tan Ron’s makeup, she couldn’t help but take out her phone to take a photo of Tan Rou. Tan Rou subconsciously blocked her face. Seeing how Tan Rou didn’t like it, Alice quickly deleted the photo she had just taken. Then, she said with regret, “I only wanted to keep a photo of you for safe keeping, but if you don’t like it, I’ll delete it..”

Tan Ron wasn’t used to others taking photos of her, and she could only adapt to her second brother’s camera lens. However, Alice was her brother’s friend, so she didn’t think much of it. “It’s okay, Sister Alice. If you want to, just do it. You’re a makeup artist, and every time you put on makeup for others, you create a work of art. I can’t stop you from saving your work.”
“My dear, you are a beautiful and understanding child.” If it weren’t for the makeup on Tan Ron’s face, Alice would have kissed her. “In the future, as long as you come to our store, we’ll give you a 25% discount!”
“Alice, you didn’t even give me a 25% discount.” Tao Zhi laughed.
Alice raised her eyebrows slightly. “I like her like my younger sister, okay?”
Tao Zhi protected Tan Rou with his body. He used to be worried about men getting close to his cute sister, but now it seemed like he had to be wary of women.
“Don’t get too close to my sister.” Tao Zhi smiled and warned Alice, “I can’t let you kidnap my sister.”
Hahahaha!” Alice was grinning from ear to ear.
When they came out of the dressing room, Tan Jing also came out. She wore a very young white gauze dress, but the makeup on her face was more mature, making her look a little strange.
Tan Jing looked at Tan Rou with jealousy. No matter how Tan Jing looked at her, Tan Rou was not pleasing to the eye. “You still don’t look good in this dress.”
Alice looked left and right, but she couldn’t find anything that didn’t look good. “Sister, the dress and my skills, you look gorgeous.”
“Ma’am, you can’t enter without an appointment.” As they were talking, the voice of the shop assistant suddenly came from the door. “We don’t accept customers without an appointment!”
“My daughter is here! Jingjing, are you here?” Chen Yi shouted.
Tan Jing’s face darkened. Why was Chen Yi here?
Tan Rou also recognized Chen Yi’s voice. Since Chen Yi and Tan Song divorced, this was the first time Tan Rou saw her in public.
A few of them came out from inside and saw Chen Yi and the shop assistant fighting. One wanted to come in, and the other was trying to stop the person from barging in.
Quiet!” When Chen Yi saw Tan Jing, she suddenly increased her strength. “Help me!!”
Tan Jing quickly walked to Chen Yi’s side and scolded her in a low voice, “What are you doing here?”
Chen Yi let go of the shop assistant’s hand and gathered her clothes. She tidied her messy hair and said, “Mom misses you. Can’t 1 come over to see you?”
“Didn’t 1 tell you already?” Tan Jing said impatiently.
“Today is an important day for me!”
“My affairs are also very important! Do you want to become a child from a single-parent family?” Chen Yi said unyieldingly. “If your family is not harmonious and they end up getting a divorce, do you think the Tao family in the capital…”
Before Chen Yi could finish, Tan Jing covered her mouth. “Mom, can you just go home and take your medication?”
She still remembered Chen Yi’s character.
“Wu wu…” Chen Yi could not pull Tan Jing’s hand away.
“You should leave quickly!” Tan Jing sternly said, “I’ll talk about it when I return from the banquet.”
She released her hand and let Chen Yi speak.
“I want to go too!” Chen Yi asked, “Your father will be there as well! I want to see him!!”
“No!” Tan Jing wouldn’t let her go over and go crazy. She shouldn’t have let it slip. “Go home quickly. We’ll talk about it when we get home.”
Chen Yi had finally caught Tan Jing. She would not let Tan Jing leave, so she grabbed Tan Jing’s arm tightly and refused to let her go.
Tan Rou stood at the side and sized up Chen Yi. She had aged a lot recently and did not look like a pampered lady. Her face was a little yellow, and her clothes were wrinkled. It seemed that she did not have time to change into new clothes before leaving her house.
Tao Zhi gently touched Tan Ron’s arm and whispered, “Let’s go.”
Coincidentally, Tao Zheng drove back, so the Tao siblings quietly drove away.
Tan Jing saw Tan Rou leave and was very anxious. “Mom, stop making a fuss. We’re going to be late!”

Zhao Ru also came to help Tan Jing. She couldn’t let Chen Yi ruin the party.
“I won’t let you go unless you take me with you!” Chen Yi refused to let go.
Tao Zheng was driving to the place his father had sent him. It was his first time visiting this place, so he didn’t know the way. He could only follow the navigation.
“The Shore’s Club?” Tan Rou looked at the destination on her phone’s navigation. “Why are we here?”
“What’s wrong with this place?” Tao Zheng asked in confusion..
Chapter 399: 399 Don’t Think About Making Trouble
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tan Ron said, “This place is very expensive. It’s the highest-class hotel in the city.”
Tao Zheng felt like a country bumpkin. He didn’t even know where he was, but his sister knew more than him. It seemed that he had to socialize more in the future.
“It’s just a small birthday. Is there a need for us to be here? Big Brother, why don’t we leave and persuade our parents not to waste such money?” Tan Rou looked at Tao Zhi.
Tao Zhi said, “This is your i8th-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, and it’s also your first birthday after returning home. We all want to give you a good birthday, so don’t be afraid of spending money.”
Tan Rou wasn’t afraid of spending money. She had money, and she could hold a grand birthday party on her own. However, she didn’t want to be high-profile. She just wanted to have a simple birthday party with her family.
Tao Zheng was confused. “Big Brother, does our family have such powerful background? It’s a house in Elegant Jade Water Residence and a birthday party at The Shore’s. Can our family really afford this?
Although his parents said the house was rented, he had asked others about the Elegant Jade Water Residence. Others told him that there would not be any houses for rent in the Elegant Jade Water Residence because those who could afford to buy a house in the Elegant Jade Water Residence did not lack the annual rental fee, which were only merely thousands.
“You’ll know in a moment.” Tao Zhi still maintained his mysteriousness. “Mom and Dad haven’t given Xiao Rou their present yet.”
“Alright.” Tan Rou didn’t ask further. She would just wait for the big gift from her parents.
In front of The Shore’s Club, Tan Song looked at his watch from time to time. It was almost time. Why wasn’t Tan Jing here yet?
Tan Song didn’t get to see Tan Jing. Instead, Tan Rou and her brothers arrived first. The Tao brothers wore ordinary clothes, but Tan Rou was very eye-catching. Her dress looked expensive. Tan Song’s own company also had a clothing industry. He had also studied the price of clothes. Tan Ron’s gown was at least a few hundred thousand or more.
“What are you doing here?” Tan Song was very unhappy when he saw Tan Rou. “I don’t care what you do usually but don’t cause trouble here today. If you disrupt Jingjing’s good deed today, you will never be able to get away with it!” Tan Song was also a little confused. Why would the Tao family appear here? Could they be distant relatives of the Tao family in the capital?
Tan Rou was impressed by Tan Song’s brain. She had only stood at the door. How did it affect Tan Jing’s plans? Could Tan Jing want to do something bad inside and got Tan Song guard the door outside?
Not really. According to Tan Jing’s speed, she should still be on her way.
“I don’t want to know anything good or bad about your family.” Tan Rou walked up the stairs. “Brother, let’s go quickly. Daddy and Mommy must be waiting anxiously.”
The Tao brothers didn’t bother with Tan Song. They had nothing to say to Tan Song. If they wanted to settle the score, they would have to settle the matter of the Tan family bullying their sister. However, now was not the time to settle the score. After their sister’s birthday, they would have the time to do so.
The Tao siblings walked east and Tan Song watched them leave. He must have been overthinking. How could the Tao family be related to the Tao family in the capital? They only shared the same surname.
Tan Jing finally got rid of Chen Yi and rushed over. Her dress was a little wrinkled from Chen Yi’s tugging. She wanted to change it, but Alice said that once the clothes were sold, they would not return them unless there was a quality problem. At most, they would help her clean it. Tan Jing didn’t have time for them to do so, so she could only rush over in this flawed dress.
ime for them to do so, so she could only rush over in this flawed dress.
“Why are you so late?” Tan Song scolded, “You left early in the morning. Why did you only rush over now?”

“We just met Mrs. Tan, but she didn’t want Jingjing to come over.”
“Mrs. Tan?” Tan Song couldn’t remember who this ‘Mrs. Tan’ was.
“Don’t say such useless things.” Tan Jing walked into the club anxiously. “Let’s go in quickly!”
Tan Song glanced at her and didn’t say anything else. He needed Tan Jing to help him turn the tables. As long as Tan Jing was chosen by the young master of the Tao family from the Capital, their Tan family wouldn’t fall.
Tan Rou followed her brother inside. The further they went, the more they could smell the fragrance of the flowers. It was not very strong, but a faint fragrance floated into her nose. The fragrance was pleasant..

“Did Dad and Mom buy flowers?” Tan Rou asked.
Tao Zhi turned around and said, “Mom and Dad didn’t just buy flowers.”
Tan Rou didn’t understand what Tao Zhi meant, but she immediately understood what her brother was talking about.
Flowers…
They were flowers everywhere. The entire venue was filled with flowers. Blue, pink, and white. There were a total of 17 colors. The flowers of each color formed a circle with a diameter of 1.5 meters. In the middle of each flower cluster was a box that looked like a gift box.
“These are…” Tan Rou suddenly felt a lump in her throat. “Thank you… Thank you so much…”
Mother Tao and Father Tao stood at the top. Mother Tao, who usually didn’t put on much makeup, had put on her makeup today. She was wearing a tight-fitting qipao, looking beautiful. Mr. Tao didn’t wear a suit today. Instead, he wore a dark gray tunic suit that matched Mrs. Tao’s outfit perfectly.
Rourou, go and open the present. This is your 18th birthday present.” Mother Tao wiped her tears and turned her head away.
Tao Fu comforted her, “Our daughter already came back. Don’t cry.”
“Yes.” Mrs. Tao smiled. “Today is a happy day. 1 can’t cry.”
Tao Zhi pushed Tan Rou forward. “Rourou, hurry up and open the present that Dad and Mom prepared for you.”
The first gift was placed on a white rose. The box wasn’t big. Tan Rou opened it to take a look. It was a set of pink baby clothes and a gold inlaid jade necklace. It looked like a lucky cloud lock.
The second gift was placed on the purple forget-me-not flower. Inside the box was a princess dress. The color was similar to the forget-me-not flower. It was very beautiful.
The third, the fourth… All the way up to the 17th gift, every gift was carefully prepared. They were not as valuable as the dress that Tao Zhi gave Tan Rou, but each of them was precious.
“Daddy, Mommy…” Tan Rou was so touched that tears fell. She walked to her parents and hugged them tightly. “To me, the best gift I’ve received in the past 18 years is being reunited with all of you.
Mrs. Tao felt very upset when she heard that. Her tears fell again. “My child, I’ve made you suffer.”
The rest of her brothers also ran over. The family hugged each other tightly and enjoyed this happy moment.
Except for poor Tao Qi….
He was the only one still in school. Due to how Tan Rou said he was not allowed to take leave, he could only wait for someone to pick him up at school.
Tao Zheng took out his camera to record this moment. He would pick up Tao Qi later. When Tao Qi arrived, they would then take a real family photo. This time, Tao Zhi was finally home Their family would now be complete.
It was a birthday present for the 18th year, but Tan Rou had only opened 17 boxes, and there were only 17 flower balls.
Tan Rou was still looking for where her parents had hidden the last gift when Mother Tao took out a box and handed it to her. Tan Rou opened the box and was shocked by what was inside.
On the other side, Tan Song finally squeezed into the birthday banquet venue with Tan Jing. He originally thought that with his status, he would be able to get a familiar face. He did not expect the people here to be celebrities from all walks of life.
My goodness!” Zhao Ru trembled with excitement. “Isn’t that the superstar He Lei? He’s super handsome, I like him! Can I go over and ask him for an autograph?”
Tan Jing rolled her eyes and said calmly, “Don’t make a fuss like a country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world. You came with me today. Don’t embarrass me.”

Zhao Ru had never attended a banquet with so influential personnel. The biggest banquet she had attended was Tan Jing’s family recognition banquet. At that time, she was still following Wei Ling and didn’t have the chance to talk.
“That, that…” Zhao Ru was excited again. “Isn’t that the most famous house designer in the country? Why is he here?” Zhao Ru’s father was in the renovation industry, so she knew a lot about designers.
“I told you, you’re shouting like a country bumpkin! I shouldn’t have brought you here,” Tan Jing said unhappily.
Zhao Ru was worried that Tan Jing would kick her out, so she tried to please her, “Jingjing, 1 won’t say it anymore. Don’t be angry, okay?”
Tan Jing picked up a glass of champagne and ordered, “Follow me. Don’t talk or look around..”
