The road wasn’t easy to walk on, so Tan Rou had to push the wheelchair slowly. She was more curious about how Zhuang Liu pushed the wheelchair here when Xiao Mo wasn’t around.
“Thank you for your hospitality. Uncle and Auntie are very nice people,” Zhuang Liu said.
Tan Rou said, “Don’t take my brother’s words to heart. They didn’t mean to discuss your legs.”
Zhuang Liu noticed that Tao Zheng was somewhat hostile towards him, but it didn’t matter, as long as Tan Rou sided with him.
“It’s fine. My leg hasn’t been like this for a day or two. It’ll be fine soon, won’t it?” Zhuang Liu was quite open-minded. As long as Tan Rou continued treating him, he would be satisfied with it.
“You can try standing for a while longer. Let Xiao Mo watch you from the side.” Then, she looked around. “Where did Xiao Mo go? Didn’t you say you were going on a vacation? Why did you bring work along?”
Zhuang Liu thought of a reason. “I asked him to see if there are any leisure activities suitable for me in this resort.” It was a very lame reason.
However, Tan Rou believed him and even recommended some fun activities to him. “I think the Grape Picking Farm is fine. You can push your wheelchair in, but you have to be careful when picking. Don’t get caught by the branches.”
Zhuang Liu nodded. “Alright, I’ll try it out then.”
When Xiao Mo rushed back and didn’t see Zhuang Liu, he ran out to look for him. He happened to see Tan Rou pushing Zhuang Liu back. How could he let Tan Rou do such hard work? He immediately ran over.
“Third Young Master, Miss Tan Rou.”
Tan Rou stopped in her tracks when she saw him.
Tan Rou scolded Xiao Mo as soon as he arrived. “How can you let the Third Young Master appear in the wilderness alone? As his personal assistant, you should take care of Third Young Master at all times.”
Xiao Mo was confused. “Ah… What?”
Tan Rou handed Zhuang Liu over to Xiao Mo. “You’re really an incompetent assistant.”
Xiao Mo grumbled bitterly. How did he become an incompetent assistant? He was so busy that he didn’t even drink a sip of water.
“Ahem.” Zhuang Liu coughed. “Alright, let’s talk when we get back.”
Xiao Mo understood what Zhuang Liu meant. “Alright then, I’ll take the Third Young Master back to his room first.”
“Fine. Don’t neglect your duties again.” Tan Rou instructed.
“Understood, understood.” Xiao Mo replied.
Zhuang Liu’s face turned black. Xiao Mo, this guy with no foresight, why did he run so fast? He could have stayed with Xiao Rou for a while longer, but now he had to leave with Xiao Mo.
“Third Young Master, you’re rushing me because you want to know about Tan Song, right?” Xiao Mo thought he was smart. “There is indeed something wrong with him…”
“Xiao Mo…” Zhuang Liu interrupted him.
“What’s wrong, Third Young Master?” Xiao Mo asked.
Zhuang Liu facepalmed. “You really need to improve your IQ and EQ.”
“??? ”
“Forget it. Tell me about Tan Song.”
“It’s almost as you guessed.Tan Song is indeed in contact with the Tao family from the Capital. He brought Tan Jing over because he really wants her to marry into their family.”
“The Tao family in the capital has always been very strict with their daughter-in-law. Someone like Tan Jing is not qualified. Tan Song wants Tan Jing to marry into the family? It’s simply wishful thinking.” Zhuang Liu said disdainfully.
“The representative of the Tao family from the Capital is a weird person too. According to the information we gathered earlier, it was the Tao family who was in contact with the Tan family first. In other words, it was the Tao family who first extended an olive branch but they didn’t seem very enthusiastic. It’s as if he was just keeping them in suspense.”
“Hmm…..”
Zhuang Liu was in the same social circle as them and he knew very well what kind of situation each family had. “The Tao family values the character of the person who gets married into their family. Tan Song and Chen Yi are not very good in-laws. I think the people of the Tao family in the Capital know very well about this.
“I just heard about the business cooperation between the Tan and Tao families.” Xiao Mo continued, “Tan Song was the one who mentioned it. The other side would occasionally respond with a few words. His attitude was cold.”
“Continue to investigate the business that the Tao family from the Capital has given to the Tan family. I don’t think it’s that simple.” Zhuang Liu instructed.
Although Zhuang Liu had never met the head of the Tao family, everyone in the circle said that he was an unfathomable person. He would definitely be able to see through someone like Tan Song, but he still chose to do business with the Tan family. It seemed a little deliberate. It was as if a pie had fallen from the sky and landed on Tan Song’s head. However, whether it was a pie or a trap, only the person who threw it knew.
