“I’m indeed a little hungry. Why don’t we eat first?” Tao Yue quickly said.
Tan Rou didn’t have any objections. If she said that she wasn’t going to eat now, her relatives would probably blame her for being insensible.
The Tao family had prepared a dinner party. They did not invite many outsiders. There were no reporters or anything like that. Only their own family members and some important figures working for the Tao family were invited.
Tao Yue changed into an exquisite dress and walked to Tan Rou with a glass of juice. “Big Cousin, let me give a toast.”
Tan Rou was drinking champagne today. It had a certain degree of alcohol. She raised the champagne and didn’t touch Tao Yue’s glass.
Tao Yue raised her cup and felt a little awkward. “Dear cousin, do you think that I’m not worthy enough to give you a toast?”
“No.” Tan Rou gently swirled her glass. “It’s just that I think it’s a little strange that you’re drinking juice while I’m drinking champagne.”
Tao Yue had always been an obedient girl in front of everyone. I low could an obedient girl drink so early?
“Eldest cousin, don’t make things difficult for me. I’m still young and can’t drink.” Tao Yue said with an aggrieved look.
Everyone looked at Tan Rou unkindly. At first, they had thought that the eldest daughter of the Tao family was Tao Yue. Moreover, Tao Yue had always been obedient in front of others, so they were more biased towards her. Now that Tan Rou had embarrassed Tao Yue in public, how could they be happy?
“You’re so cute.” Tan Rou smiled. “I was just teasing you. You’re not angry, are you?”
“Young miss is really a humorous person.” A middle-aged man smiled and said, “We often joke like this. We say that those who drink tea don’t deserve to sit at the same table as us who drink.”
Tan Rou raised her cup. “Weil, I am already an adult now but you would have to wait a little longer.”
Tao Yue really wanted to splash the juice in her glass on Tan Ron’s face. What did Tan Rou mean by that? Was she implying that Tao Yue was just the second daughter of a wealthy family and would always be behind her?
The two sisters clinked their glasses, but neither of them drank the liquid in the glass, as if something dirty had entered it.
“Cousin, how did you do in your physics exam today?” Tao Yue was eager to know how Tan Rou did. After she came back, she asked someone to check Tan Ron’s results, but she still couldn’t find anything useful.
“Don’t you know that it’s a tacit rule not to ask others about their results after the exam? This is my privacy,” Tan Rou said. “I think it’s better if you don’t ask.”
The more Tan Rou said this, the more Tao Yue felt that her previous results were fake. So, she continued to ask, “I heard that your results were very bad in the past. How did you suddenly improve so much in the past few months and even participate in the physics competition?”
“You can just say that my grades are bad. Why are you beating around the bush and asking so many questions?” Tan Rou didn’t give Tao Yue any face. Since Tao Yue had come to make Tan Rou unhappy, Tan Rou wouldn’t let her off either.
“I didn’t say that.” Tao Yue’s voice was very loud. “You said it yourself. You said that your grades were bad.”
“My sister’s grades are bad?” Tao Qi ran out of nowhere and happened to hear this sentence. “How can you say that my sister’s grades are bad? My sister’s results are excellent. She has scored full marks in several subjects every time she takes the exam. Even the teacher said that she did not give her full marks for Chinese because she was afraid that my sister would be too proud of herself.”
Tao Yue felt wronged and said, “I didn’t say that her grades are bad. She said it herself.”
“I think you’re hoping that my grades will be bad, right?” Tan Rou pulled Tao Qi over. “It’s my first day back. Are you sure you want to keep harping on this issue?
Grandpa Tao turned unhappy almost immediately “Rourou is right. Today is her first day back. None of you have asked her how she has been all these years, and you’ve been harping on about her results. Is our Tao family the kind of family that only cares about results?”
“Grandpa, I’m sorry. 1 won’t ask again.” Tao Yue lowered her head, her eyes full of anger. In the past, whenever she was wronged, the Tao family would come to comfort her. But now that she had been wronged, not only did the Tao family not comfort her, but they also defended Tan Rou. It was too hateful!
The most hateful person was Tan Rou. The moment she came back, she targeted her and made the whole family protect her instead.. In that case, would Tao Yue still have the right to speak up for the Tao family in the future?
