Grandpa Tao smiled and said to Tan Ron, “Xiao Ron, don’t blame your sister Yueyue. She usually studies very hard. She often studies until late at night which is why she’s very concerned about her grades.”
Tan Rou shook her head gently. “I won’t blame her for it. After all, her results were earned through hard work. I respect everyone who works hard.”
“Yes.” Grandpa Tao liked Tan Ron’s answer. She was indeed a child of the Tao family. Not only was she smart, but she was also very understanding. “Xiao Rou, Grandpa and Grandma have prepared some gifts for you this time. They have already sent them to Yuanxi Manor. Yuanxi Manor will be yours from now on.”
Tan Rou didn’t know what this place was, but from the name, she knew that this place wasn’t simple. “Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma. 1 will cherish this gift-”
Tao Yue was so jealous that she was going crazy. Her grandfather had really given the manor to Tan Rou. She had begged for it many times but failed. How could he give it to Tan Rou so easily? It was so unfair.
“Aren’t you happy for me, dear cousin? Don’t you like me coming back?” Tan Rou asked Tao Yue on purpose.
Tao Yue had a fake smile on her face. “Of course I like it that you’re back. Now that you’re back, there will be two girls in the house. I was the only one in the past, so I couldn’t share anything with anyone.”
“You’ll have a chance to share it in the future.” Tan Rou said, “But it’s best if you wouldn’t get reluctant when you have to.”
Tao Yue suddenly felt her heart palpitate. What did Tan Rou mean by that? Was there something else she wanted to snatch? Wasn’t the entire Yuanxi Manor enough?
“Haha.” Grandpa Tao smiled happily. “I’m very happy to see you sisters getting along. Everything in Yuanxi Manor is ready for you. Xiao Rou could move in now.”
“I don’t know the way yet, so I’ll have to trouble Yueyue to lead the way for me.”
“Alright, I will show you the way.” Tao Yue really wished that she could push Tan Rou into the lake at Yuanxi Manor and drown her. That way, she would be the only daughter in the Tao family.
Yuanxi Manor was a small manor in the Tao family’s manor. It was connected to the main manor and could be reached in a few steps.
As Tan Rou and Tao Yue walked on the streets, a few helpers followed behind them to ensure their safety.
Even at night, Tan Rou could see that the manor was very beautiful. The manor was spacious and she could hear the sound of running water. The faint fragrance of flowers filled her nose. It was really rare to be able to smell the fragrance of flowers in this season.
Tao Yue was more excited than Tan Rou. She had been looking around the manor ever since she entered. If it weren’t for the fact that the conditions didn’t allow it, she would have taken out her phone to take a few photos.
“You seem to like this manor very much.” The lights were quite bright, so Tan Rou could easily see the expression on Tao Yue’s face. She thought that Tao Yue would only show a fake expression, but she didn’t expect her to show such a real smile.
Tao Yue realized that she had lost her composure and quickly stopped smiling. “I do like this place. In fact, I’m envious of you. You’ve obtained Yuanxi Manor as soon as you come back. You have to know that Yuanxi Manor is the most beautiful manor. You can’t find any other manor that is as perfect as this one in the entire capital.”
“Do you want this manor?” Tan Rou asked.
Tao Yue’s eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, “Eldest cousin, are you giving me Yuanxi Manor?”
“I want to give it to you, but I can’t do that.” Tan Rou smiled and said, “After all, this is a gift from my grandparents. I can’t easily give it to others.”
Tao Yue was very angry. “Tan Rou! Are you saying this to show off your new manor to me?”
“Not only that.” Tan Rou leaned over and whispered in her ear, “You offended my friend today. Don’t expect me to be nice to you.”
As soon as she got closer, Tao Yue realized that Tan Rou was at least 15 centimeters taller than her. She had been taking supplements to increase her height all these years, but it didn’t work. She was still short. Even the twins at her aunt’s house were taller than her.
“We’re a family. Why should you protect an outsider instead of me?” Tao Yue asked unhappily.
“Then you have to ask yourself. Do you treat me as family?” Tan Rou asked “Why did you greet me today?”
“I…” Tao Yue couldn’t give any reason for what she had done..
