Tao Yue looked at Tan Rou and then at Aunt Zhou. She could only say helplessly, “There are not many people here at night. Cousin, you have to be careful. Don’t let any strange things come in.”
Tan Rou said, “You don’t have to worry about that, Yueyue. I think Yuanxi Manor is a very safe place. No matter if it’s snakes, insects, ants, or strange people, they won’t be able to come in.” When she said ‘strange person’, she was looking at Tao Yue.
Tao Yue wanted to get angry, but Aunt Zhou was here. She couldn’t ruin the good image she had built in front of Aunt Zhou.
“Then I’ll be leaving.” Tao Yue looked at the living room longingly, as if she wanted to make her memory more memorable.
“Well, I won’t see you leave then since 1 still have to take a look around. Goodnight!” Tan Rou turned around and said.
Tao Yue stared at Tan Ron’s back. Anger filled her heart. If it weren’t for Tan Rou, she could have asked her grandparents for the Yuanxi Manor.
“Second Miss, please leave with us!” A few servants said.
“Aren’t you going to stay and take care of her?” Tao Yue asked.
The servant replied, “The old madam will send someone to take care of the young miss in a while. Besides, Aunt Zhou is also here, so we don’t need to be present.”
Tao Yue’s brain was spinning fast. She suddenly remembered something. “Oh, 1 seem to have forgotten to give something to her. Wait for me. I’ll be back after I give it to her.”
After she finished speaking, she ran back to the building without waiting for the servants to respond.
When Tao Yue returned to the living room, Tan Rou and Aunt Zhou had already gone upstairs. Tao Yue took off her shoes and walked up the stairs barefooted.
It was a three-story building, and each floor was about 300 square meters. The first, second, and third floors were all paved with wooden floors. Even the stairs were paved with wooden floors, so Tao Yue didn’t make a sound when she walked on the ground.
Although it was only on the third floor, there was also an indoor elevator installed. It was very hidden. The elevator door was hidden in the wall, and there were exquisite decorations beside it. If one did not look carefully, they would think that it was a display cabinet.
“Miss, this is your cloakroom. The company’s latest limited edition jewelry has been sent over. You can take a look. If the young miss had other jewelry she liked, she could bring it up.” Aunt Zhou’s voice came from the bedroom on the third floor.
Tao Yue hid at the stairs on the third floor, biting her nails so hard that they almost broke.
Tao Yue only had a few sets of the Tao family’s latest limited edition jewelry, but Tan Rou had a cabinet full of jewelry. In the past few days, Tao Yue kept seeing boxes with the Tao family’s jewelry logo enter the Yuanxi Manor. There would always be a few boxes going in, but no boxes were taken out.
“This is too much. I’m so grateful for these but I don’t usually wear jewelry.” Tan Rou said.
Aunt Zhou said, “Eldest Miss, you don’t have to make things difficult for yourself. These jewels are not for Eldest Miss to wear now. If Eldest Miss is not used to wearing jewels, you can keep them for later.””
Tao Yue bit her finger. She was both jealous and angry. She couldn’t get what she wanted, but Tan Rou could get it so easily. Was blood relations that important? She had lived in the Tao family for almost 17 years. Was she really not as good as Tan Rou, who had just returned to the Tao family?
Only then did Tao Yue realize that those words of ‘I like Yueyue the most’ were all fake. The Tao family only cared about their biological daughter and did not care about her, the adopted daughter who had lived with them for nearly 17 years.
“Miss, this is the elevator. If you don’t want to take the stairs, you can take the elevator.” Aunt Zhou’s voice grew louder and louder.
Tao Yue ran downstairs in a panic. After she went downstairs, her first reaction was to look for the power switch. If she destroyed the power switch when Tan Rou was in the elevator, would Tan Rou fall to her death?
Tao Yue, who had the evil idea, went to look for the power switch according to how well she knew the Tao family. As expected, she found the power switch behind a painting. At this time, Tan Rou and the others also took the elevator.
Tao Yue put her hand on the main switch and pulled it off with a smile.
In the elevator, Tan Rou was talking to Aunt Zhou when the elevator suddenly stopped. She followed the elevator and swayed a few times before squatting down with her hand against the wall.
“Is there a blackout?” Aunt Zhou was puzzled. “Why is there a blackout in this area?”
Tan Rou took out her phone to illuminate the room. When she realized that there was still a signal on her phone, she wanted to call someone over..
