95 Total Annihilation

Mr. And Mrs. Tao naturally wouldnt be particularly bia.s.sed towards any child. They were all flesh and blood that fell from their bodies. Even Tan Rou, who had just been found, was the same as the other children they had raised since young in their hearts. They even wanted to make it up to her.

However, it was undeniable that due to Tao Qis age and character, he was indeed the most favoured person in the family. This was also why Tan Jing was so confident.

Based on her understanding of the Tao family, she had Tao Qi in her grasp and could use him to defeat Tan Rou.

Tan Jing was like a venomous snake hiding in the dark, constantly flicking its tongue, ready to give Tao Rou a fatal blow. As for whether this would harm the Tao family, it was not within her consideration.

The Tao family had no idea about Tan Jings secret scheme.

Mrs. Tao watched as the father and son got closer and interrupted, Thats enough, Xiao Qi. Youre already so old and yet youre still pestering your father. Come down quickly, dont tire your father out. Lets eat!

Father Tao put Tao Qi down on the ground with a smile and patted his head affectionately.

Tao Qi ran over with a cheer. Its time to eat! Mom, did you make my favorite red braised pork?

Tao Qis mother pinched Tao Qis nose affectionately. Of course Ive prepared it for you, little glutton!

Then, she called out loudly, Xiao Rou! Ah Zheng! Come out and eat!

As soon as Tao Qi returned, the house became lively. Mother Tao smiled, secretly thinking that once he accepted Tao Rou, then everything would be complete.

Tan Rou heard the sound from inside the room, put down the medicinal herbs in her hand, and came out.

In the other room, Tao Zheng also opened his door upon hearing this.

Ever since Tao Zheng was provoked by Tan Song the last time, he knew very well that he was still unable to protect his family now. Hence, he became even more hardworking.

Recently, he had been preparing the works for a photography compet.i.tion. He had put in so much effort that his eyes had turned red.

Tao Qi wanted to rush in to find his brother as soon as he got home. In his heart, his elder brother must hate Tan Rou as much as he did.

However, before he could reach the door, Mrs. Tao stopped him, telling him that his brother was busy and that none of them should be disturbing him.

That was why Tao Qi never got to meet his elder brother and now that he did, he definitely wouldnt waste such a good opportunity.

Tao Zheng touched the top of Tao Qis head, messing up his fluffy hair. You brat, how long has it been since you called me your brother? You sneaked back home! Youre getting bolder and bolder!

Tao Qi felt extremely guilty. He had been in contact with Sister Jingjing more frequently recently and he naturally forgot to call his brother. When he heard that Sister Jingjing had been bullied by Tan Rou, he quickly rushed home.

Afraid that his brother would be angry, Tao Qi quickly acted obediently. Brother, I have been studying hard.

Tao Zheng snorted with laughter but he wouldnt argue with Tao Qi over this.

He turned around and saw Tan Rou coming downstairs. Tao Zheng greeted her, Rou er, youre back. Hows school?

After the previous incident, Tao Zheng finally understood.

The Tan family couldnt distinguish between right and wrong. They were no different from animals. Tan Rou, his little sister, had suffered in their family. She only did those things in the past because she lacked love from her family.

She had never been a member of the Tan family but a real member of the Tao family. In the future, Tan Rous matters would also be his responsibility as an older brother.

Tao Zheng was being gentle and so Tan Rou naturally answered obediently. Dont worry about me. Im fine!

Hearing this, Tao Zheng felt at ease.

At this point, the conflict between Tan Rou and Tao Zheng had truly been eliminated. They were as close as siblings who had grown up together since young.

The Tao parents were especially happy to see their son and daughter being so nice to each other. They were biological siblings!

Although there were some misunderstandings in the past and they took a long time to get to where they are, the both of them had still come back to his senses.

Mother Tao kept using her eyes to signal to Tao Qi, wanting him to see how close Tao Zheng and Tan Rou were; in order for him to understand how close they were. She hoped that Tao Qi could learn from Tao Zheng.

However, Tao Qis brows were tightly furrowed. He let go of Tao Zhengs hand and looked extremely unhappy.

He thought to himself, Why is this situation so different from what I imagined? Why was her brother so close to this bad woman, Tan Rou? Shouldnt there be daggers drawn? Could it be that even her brother had been deceived?

Great! I didnt expect this bad woman to be so powerful. It seems that Ive made the right decision to come back earlier. If I had been any later, I would have been completely annihilated from this family!

Tao Zheng looked at Tao Qi in confusion. He didnt understand why his younger brother was suddenly throwing a tantrum.

Tao Qi glared at Tao Zheng as he yelled internally, Bad brother! Traitor! He actually betrayed him and Sister Jingjing!

Tao Zheng was confused by the glare. Just as he was about to ask Tao Qi what was going on, Tao Qi ran away quickly.
