Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tan Jing had been learning how to make incense for the past two days. She was very talented in making incense. Even her master who taught her how to make incense said that she was a ‘once-in-a-century incense genius.’
When Tan Jing heard this, she was extremely happy. She felt that she could already graduate.
After leaving the incense shop, she was in a good mood. It was still early, but she did not want to go near the school to put on an act, nor did she want to go home. After all, the Tan household was in a mess and there were broken things everywhere, which made her feel disgusted. Therefore, she wanted to go to the Tao family to take a look.
A few days ago, she had parted ways with Tao Zhi on bad terms. Now, she wanted to use something to mend their relationship. After all, Tao Zhi had not rejected any of her gifts directly.
Tan Jing firmly believed that Tao Zhi was bewitched by Tan Rou. As long as she explained it clearly, Tao Zhi would no longer hate her.
She carried the incense sticks that she made to the neighborhood where the Tao family lived. On the way, she thought about what to say. In the end, when she reached the neighborhood where the Tao family lived, she was dumbfounded.
“Where are there?” Tan Jing banged hard on the door. “Dad! Mom! Big brother! Tao Qi! Are you home?”
The security door rattled loudly, causing the neighbors to be woken up by the loud noise and one of them started scolding her.
“Why are you knocking on it so loudly? Are you crazy?” Zhang Huan’s mother scolded. “Don’t you know that there are others who’re trying to take a nap?!”
Tan Jing’s face darkened. “I’m sorry.”
“Eh? Isn’t this Jingjing? Why are you knocking on this door?” Zhang Huan’s mother asked in surprise.
Tan Jing rolled her eyes secretly before smiling. “Auntie, I wanted to visit my parents, but they locked the door.”
Zhang Huan’s mother said, “You won’t be able to open them. They’ve already moved away.”
As she said that, she was a little unhappy. “So what if she’s moving out? I asked your mother where she’s moving to, but she didn’t want to tell me about it. I guess they ran out of money and moved to some run-down neighborhood.”
Tan Jing immediately thought of Tan Rou. She had bought so many things and taken out so much money. She must have asked her parents for it. Now, her parents had finally gone bankrupt because of her.
“Auntie, do you know when they moved and where?” Tan Jing asked.
Zhang Huan’s mother snorted coldly and replied, “Didn’t I say that I don’t know? They didn’t even tell you that they moved away. Obviously, they don’t care about you. You’re the daughter they raised for 17 years. They moved away just like that and didn’t even notify you about it. They really don’t have any conscience.”
Tan Jing was about to explode. Tan Rou, this b*tch! Not only did she bankrupt her adoptive parents’ family, but she also didn’t even tell Tan Jing that they were moving. She was too detestable.
Zhang Huan’s mother was very happy when she saw Tan Jing’s angry expression. It was her fault that Mrs. Tao was better than her in every aspect. Even her daughter’s grades were better than hers. Now that she saw someone angry at Mrs. Tao, she felt delighted.
“Aiya, if you really want to know, go ask their biological daughter.” Zhang Huan’s mother said with a faint smile, “Even if they don’t want to tell anyone about it, their daughter will definitely know where they live.”
With that, she happily went back to sleep.
Tan Jing stood in front of the door and kicked the security door hard. Then, she carried the incense pills that she had just made and went home.
At this moment, Chen Yi sent a message to Tan Jing asking about Tan Song. Tan Song no longer wanted Chen Yi in his house. Everytime she went in, she would be chased out. Once she got chased out, she would shout at the door of the house, causing a commotion.
Tan Jing really didn’t want to pay attention to her, but she was still her biological mother after all. Hence, she sent her a message saying, “I’m in class. If there’s anything, wait until I’m done with school.”
Chen Yi did not care if she was in class or not. She kept sending messages to ask if she had persuaded Tan Song to remarry her. Tan Jing was extremely annoyed. She turned off her phone screen, refusing to reply to Chen Yi’s message.
Once Tan Jing had walked far away, Zhang Huan’s mother opened the door to take a look. She muttered to herself, “That’s strange. Why isn’t she in school? Isn’t it school time today?”
Forget it, it was none of her business. She was more concerned about where the Tao family had moved to and whether they had moved to the dilapidated neighborhood as she wished..
