Second Aunt Tao was not clear about this. “Maybe they looked alike. Besides, I’ve never seen your eldest cousin before. How could your friend have seen her before? Although there are some photos of your eldest cousin on the internet, the photos are still somewhat different from the real person. It’s normal for your friend to mistake her for someone else.”
“Is that really the case?” In fact, Tao Yue herself was not sure if that person was Tan Rou. According to the information she received, Tan Rou was indeed a student with poor grades. She was also said to often fight and cause trouble. She also formed cliques in school. Many people hated her.
“Why would Mommy lie to you?” Second Aunt Tao patted Tao Yue’s head and said, “Your eldest cousin has suffered a lot in the Tan family all these years. Now that she’s coming back, you must bring her around the Capital more when she comes back. The two of you are about the same age, so you must have a lot in common.”
Aunt Tao was a kind-hearted person. After hearing that Tan Rou had suffered a lot in her previous family, she felt very sorry for her niece, so she wanted her daughter to take care of her cousin.
Tao Yue tightened her grip on the pen. She didn’t want to do this at all. They were all members of the Tao family, and they share the same bloodline. Why was it that her uncle could inherit the position of the head of the Tao family while her father had to be an outsider?
Also, her mother always told her to be a kind person. Although Tao Yue didn’t object to this view, she didn’t like her mother’s personality. Why couldn’t her mother become the wife of the head of the Tao family?
Tao Zhi was a very outstanding person, but her brother Tao Sheng was not inferior to Tao Zhi. However, the position of the future head of the Tao family was her uncle’s. After her uncle abdicated, it would be Tao Zhi’s. She did not want Tao Zhi to be the head of the Tao family at all.
“Of course.” Tao Yue pretended to be happy and said, “I’ll definitely take good care of my eldest cousin.” No matter how angry she was, she could not show it in front of her mother.
“You’re always the best!” Aunt Tao knew that his daughter was obedient and sensible, so she said, “You’ve been studying hard recently. After your exams, I’ll bring you to make a few sets of clothes. Also, our new limited edition jewelry is going to be on the market soon. When the time comes, you can choose a few pieces that you like and keep them.”
Tao Yue was overjoyed when she heard that, but she couldn’t show it on her face. “Mom, I already have enough clothes and jewelry. I don’t use them often, so don’t buy me more.”
She deliberately mentioned Tan Rou. “Why don’t you give these things to my cousin instead? After all, she’s the eldest daughter of the Tao family. If she doesn’t have these things with her, others will think that we’re bullying her.”
“You don’t have to worry about that.” Second Aunt Tao smiled and said, “Your grandparents have already prepared it for your eldest cousin. She’s the eldest daughter of the Tao family. How could she lack these jewels?””
“What did Grandpa and Grandma prepare for her?” Tao Yue added, “I’m not trying to compete with the eldest cousin. I just want to refer to Grandpa and Grandma’s standards to prepare a welcoming gift for her.”
Aunt Tao laughed. “Then you might not be able to do it according to their standards because your grandmother gave the entire Yuanxi Manor to your eldest cousin. At that time, those things would be sent directly to the manor, and there was no need to go to the shop to pick them.”
When Tao Yue heard that her grandparents had given Yuanxi Manor to her sister, whom she had never met before, Tao Yue’s anger surged. Yuanxi Manor was the best manor in the Tao family. She had asked her grandparents for it several times but had not gotten it. She did not expect them to give it to Tan Rou directly.
Why? She had always been the eldest daughter of the Tao family, and the people in the capital knew that the Tao family only had one eldest miss. They did not know Tan Rou at all. Why was Tan Rou snatching things from her before she returned?
Tao Yue couldn’t take this anymore. She had to take back her identity as the eldest daughter of the Tao family from Tan Rou!
“Yue Yue, rest for a while.” Aunt Tao patted her head again. “Don’t stay up too late. Even if you don’t get a place, Mom and Dad won’t blame you.”
Tao Yue put on a fake smile. “Mom, I know. Don’t worry..”
