When Tao Yue arrived at the venue, the farce had already ended. Only a few people were still discussing what had just happened. Tao Yue listened for a while and figured out the whole story. However, she became even angrier after hearing it.
Tan Rou actually took out the national physics competition trophy in front of so many people and even said that she was the first. Was she deliberately looking for trouble?
“Tao Yue, 1 just heard from your cousin that she won first place in the physics competition. Didn’t you say you were the first place?” A rich girl in a pink dress walked up to Tao Yue and asked deliberately.
“Didn’t you say that you would always get first place?”
Tao Yue got enraged and retorted, “Since when did 1 tell you that I got first?!”
The rich girl’s expression instantly turned ugly. “1 was just asking. Why are you so fierce?”
Tao Yue calmed down and apologized to the rich girl with a smile. “I’m really sorry. 1 was in a bad mood just now. 1 apologize.”
“Is it because you didn’t get first place?”
Most people in a circle were competitors. Once there was someone in the group who wasn’t doing well, there would always be a group of people who would come and laugh at you.
Tao Yue rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, “The first and second place both belong to the Tao family. Why wouldn’t 1 be happy about it?”
“So you got second place!” The daughter of a rich family had a subtle expression on her face. “Eldest Miss got first place and Second Miss got second place. The Tao family knows how to distribute results.”
Tao Yue was really angered to death by this girl. Did this idiot know how to speak?
The rich girl had achieved her goal, so she swaggered away, leaving Tao Yue sulking on the spot.
“How pitiful!” Meng Si brought over a glass of red wine. “You’ve been the eldest daughter for so many years, and now you’ve become the second daughter all of a sudden. Moreover, Tan Rou snatched your first place away the moment she came back. Are you really willing to accept that?”
Tao Yue sent away an annoying person and welcomed an even more annoying person. This made her already bad mood become even more irritable.
“Ha!” Tao Yue didn’t back down. She looked at Meng Si’s face and smiled.
“How do you feel when you see my eldest cousin’s face?”
Mother Tao was the number one beauty in the capital back then. Tan Rou, who had inherited her looks, was also very beautiful. It could be said that she was beautiful from every angle.
Although Meng Si’s looks were not bad, she was not considered a peerless beauty. She was far inferior to Tan Rou. When she saw Tan Ron’s face today, she was already jealous of Tan Ron’s beautiful face.
Back then, Meng Si’s mother had always held a grudge for not becoming the Capital’s most beautiful woman. Later, when she had a daughter, she had pinned her hopes on her daughter, Meng Si. Therefore, Meng Si had been very concerned about her looks since she was very young.
Meng Si’s face was very beautiful now, but it wasn’t her original face. It was a face that had been modified. Every time she modified her face, Meng Si’s face would become a little prettier, but her face was also getting stiffer and stiffer.
“I don’t feel anything.” Meng Si said that she didn’t feel anything, but she was already furious.
“Eldest Cousin’s looks are similar to Eldest Aunt’s. Eldest Aunt was recognized as the number one beauty in the capital back then!” Tao Yue praised, “The eldest cousin who has inherited all the good points of my uncle and aunt will be the new number one beauty in the capital.” She glanced at Meng Si and said coldly, “Well, 1 guess you can now only be second to her.”
“Tao Yue!” Meng Si gripped her wine glass tightly. “What do you mean?”
“I don’t mean anything.” Tao Yue walked past her and deliberately bumped into her. “I’m telling the truth. Even if you don’t like it, it’s the truth.”
Tao Yue didn’t like Tan Rou, but she knew that no matter how much she competed with Tan Rou, she couldn’t let outsiders interfere. She had a way to deal with Tan Rou, so there was no need to ally with Meng Si and the others.
“Tao Yue, you’re just the adopted daughter of the Tao family. Now that the real eldest daughter of the Tao family is back, do you still have the right to speak?” Since they wanted to hurt each other, Meng Si would not be polite either.
Tao Yue was most afraid of people mentioning that she was the adopted daughter of the Tao family. “What does this have to do with you? At the very least, my parents won’t get me to marry a stranger.”
Meng Si’s expression immediately turned extremely ugly. She was originally just a tool for the Meng family to form a marriage alliance, but after she became capable, she became a bargaining chip for the Meng family to form a marriage alliance with other big families. However, she did not want to marry anyone that was arranged for her. She yearned for free love..
