Third Uncle Zhuang smiled and asked Xiao Liu, “What did you say to your grandfather?”
Zhuang Liu said coldly, “It’s still your word. If Third Uncle wants to know, go ask Grandpa.”
Third Uncle Zhuang wanted to ask more questions, but he heard Old Master Zhuang’s angry roar from the study.
Zhuang Liu said softly, “Third Uncle, Grandpa is calling you in.”
Third Uncle Zhuang’s scalp tingled as he walked in. Xiao Mo considerately closed the door and pushed Zhuang Liu out of the old house.
On the other side, when Tan Rou and the others arrived at the Tao family’s manor, Grandpa Tao and Grandma Tao were not around. They had gone out shopping. Moreover, the servants at home were very surprised to see them return, as if they did not know that they were coming back at all.
Mr. Tao said to the children, “This was arranged by your grandfather. Your grandmother misses you very much and has been talking about you. Your grandfather wanted to give her a surprise, so he didn’t tell her that we were coming back. The old master was afraid that his family would expose this news, so he simply didn’t tell anyone that we were coming back.”
“Grandpa is quite good at hiding things.” Tan Rou smiled.
“If you don’t come back soon, your grandma will probably go to find you guys. Your grandfather must have been pestered by her to take your grandmother out today to divert her attention.”
“Go back to your own rooms and rest for a while. 1’11 send a message to Old Mr. Tao immediately and tell him that you can bring Old Mrs. Tao back.”
Tan Rou carried her small bag and went to Yuanxi Manor. She had not returned for so many days, so she did not know if Yuanxi Manor had fallen to dust.
When she got close to the small building, she realized that the door was open and there were voices inside. She thought that her grandfather had arranged for someone to clean the house, but as she listened, she could tell that something was wrong.
Tan Rou walked in quickly and saw Tao Yue sitting leisurely on the sofa. She was using the remote control to change the TV channel. The conversation just now was from the TV series.
Tao Yue turned the volume up so much that she didn’t hear Tan Rou come in.
Tan Rou walked behind Tao Yue with a straight face and threw her bag on the sofa next to Tao Yue, giving her a fright.
“What’s wrong with you?” Tao Yue shouted with her eyes closed. She didn’t see who threw the thing at all, but when she turned around, she saw Tan Ron’s cold face.
Tao Yue felt guilty. “Tan Rou, why are you back?”
Tan Rou did not answer her question. “How did you get in?”
“I saw Auntie Zhou cleaning, so 1 came in to help her.” Tao Yue stuttered.
Tan Rou looked around but did not see the cleaning lady. “Where is the cleaning lady?”
Tao Yue pointed outside. “She had just gone out.”
“Humph.” Tan Rou didn’t believe her. “Since you said you were cleaning, why are you sitting here watching TV?”
“I got tired.” Tao Yue said.
At this moment, the elevator suddenly opened and three girls rushed out of the elevator. Each of them was holding a few pieces of jewelry and wearing new dresses. They didn’t seem to see Tan Rou and directly called Tao Yue.
“Yue Yue, can you give this to me?”
“Yue Yue, your family really loves you so much. They actually gave you so many clothes and jewelry.”
“Yue Yue, we want to be good friends for life!”
Meng Xiao had just finished speaking when she saw Tan Rou in the hall. She said unhappily, “Why is Tan Rou here?””
Tan Rou stood there and said nothing. Her eyes were fierce as if she could kill.
Meng Xiao was a little flustered, but with Tao Yue backing her up, she was not afraid of anything. “Get out. This is Yue Yue’s manor. Don’t come in!””
Tao Yue’s eyes twitched. Why was she so unlucky? First, she didn’t get first in the physics competition and even got embarrassed. Those people didn’t know where they got the news that Tan Rou had returned to the Tao family. All of them said that she wasn’t loved by the Tao family and was going to be abandoned by the Tao family.
This was all Tan Ron’s fault. She had been unlucky ever since Tan Rou came back. If it weren’t for the fact that she wanted to regain her face, she wouldn’t have brought Meng Xiao and the others here..
