For Tan Rou, Tan Song was just a useless, cold man. If it werent because how he didnt care much about them, Chen Yi and Tan Jing wouldnt have been able to act so arrogantly.

The mother-daughter duo had just been humiliated yesterday, and Tan Song was already here looking for trouble again.

Tan Rou let out a cold laugh. She thought they would at least come up with something better, but they were still bullying others who were weaker than them and putting on a tough act. However, they were wrong. Tan Song was just a paper tiger. He didnt have much ability to protect the Tan family or his wife and daughter.

Tan Rou walked out of her room and looked at Tan Song, Youre looking for me?

Child, Im here. You just wait inside. Well be having breakfast soon.

Tan Rou shook her head. Tan Song was here for her. She cant allow her mother to face Tan Song alone.

None of them from the Tan family were nice people.

Tan Song definitely didnt come with a kind heart. When he saw Tan Rou, he started screaming at her. I have heard of everything that happened last night! You have been nothing but a disappointment. Given the relations.h.i.+p that weve had for the past decade, I didnt mind the money that I have spent on you, but you shouldnt have seduced Zhuang Liu to bully my wife and daughter. You dont have your heart placed in the right place.

Tan Rou wanted to laugh out loud. What is the relations.h.i.+p for the past decade? It was a joke that Tan Song said out loud. She was even closer to her neighbor than to Tan Song.

Mother Tao was p.i.s.sed. She was worried that Tan Rou would be affected by these people from the Tan family that are heartless. She quickly stood up for her child, We can afford to raise our own daughter! We can give her everything that Xiao Rou wants! We wouldnt have to bother you! How dare you say that about my daughter! You are the one whos the devil!

Tan Rou gently patted mother Taos shoulder to comfort her. She was worried that Mother Tao would get too angry and quickly told her, Mum, I dont need their money. Dont get too worked up because of what he said.

Mother Tao looked at her daughter and slowly felt better.

Thats right. Xiao Rou was a considerate young girl. She was no longer who she was last time.

Tan Song sneered when he heard what Tan Rou said.

Thats nice to hear. You dont care about money? Then, why would you seduce Jingjings ex-fiance? Do you think that Zhuang Liu would have true feelings for you? Youre just something new to him. Have you ever thought of the consequences once he gets tired of you?

Tan Rou already expected Tan jing and Chen Yi to add their opinions to the story. After hearing what Tan Song said, Tan Rou didnt even feel angry at all.

Mr. Tan, you are here because you wanted to know what happened yesterday. I can tell you what happened. Chen Yi and Tan Jing went to a private courtyard for lunch, but they didnt make any reservations and ended up getting stopped. They were making a scene by the entrance, which was why they humiliated themselves.

Tan Song was caught off guard. Chen Yi and Tan Jing did not mention this.

Tan Rou saw the look on Tan Songs face and knew they must have hidden certain details. Then, she continued, When they saw me, they wanted to release their anger on me. They started calling me all sorts of names, acting like uneducated shrews. The boss tried to calm them down, but Chen Yi still wanted to hit me.

When Mother Tao heard about it, she looked worried. Her child must have suffered badly last night, but Tan Rou didnt tell her anything. It must have been because Tan Rou didnt want them worrying about her.

Tan Rou stared at Tan Song and said, I dodged it, but it landed on Tan Jings face instead. Both Mrs. w.a.n.g and Mrs. Chen were there. You can ask them about it if you dont trust me.

I have never once provoked them, but that does not mean I will stand still and allow them to bully me. Mr. Tan, I was your daughter before this and allowed you to be harsh. Even when you sent me abroad when I was four years old and completely ignored me, I have never hated you for it.

Tan Rou scoffed, I remember when I was a young girl, Chen Yi locked me inside my room and didnt feed me for three entire days. I didnt drink a single drop of water, but I still survived. I am no longer your daughter, and you have no right to bully me now. If this happens again, I will still do the same thing.

After hearing what Tan Rou said, he looked a little awkward. He was aware of how he didnt care about Tan Rou and had his heart poured out at work.

Tan Song has also heard of how Chen Yi left their daughter inside the storage room. However, Chen Yi cried, and they moved on from it. When Tan Rou was four years old, Chen Yi mentioned that there was a wise man who was good at raising children to become brilliant people. Chen Yi decided on her own and only informed Tan Song about it after Tan Rou was sent abroad. Tan Song was occupied with one of the projects. When he returned home and found his daughter missing, he thought that it was for the better since the house had become much quieter.

Tan Song knew that he was at fault. He opened his mouth several times, but nothing came out of it. He secretly looked at Mother Tao and looked incredibly guilty.

On the other hand, Mother Tao was staring at Tao Rou with eyes filled with sorrow. She has never heard Tao Rou talking about her childhood. After hearing them for the first time, she was so heartbroken that she was about to cry.
