129 128 Gentle Attack
Tao Qi lowered his head and fell into confusion.
Tan Jing was still immersed in the sense of superiority the high-end Western restaurant gave her and didn’t notice that Tao Qi was already distracted.
Tan Jing saw that they were almost done eating and wanted to continue to win Tao Qi over. “Little Qi, although I am no longer in the Tao family, I’m still a member of the family. My heart is still with you guys. Contact me more often when you have time, and I can even invite you out to play. Would you like that?”
Tao Qi’s thoughts were interrupted by Tan Jing’s words. He didn’t hear her clearly and only squeezed out a smile perfunctorily. “Of course I am.” However, it was obvious that his mood was not as high as when he first saw Tan Jing.
!!
Tan Jing frowned in confusion. She really couldn’t understand what Tao Qi was thinking right now. Unwilling to give up, she continued to sow discord. sigh, “I’m really worried about you. Tan Rou told me at school that day that she didn’t care if you were going home or not. She even said that I had bad intentions towards you. What a great injustice. Xiao Qi, we’ve been siblings for so many years, you know me well. I don’t expect Tan Rou to treat me well but you can’t misunderstand me too!”
Tan Jing was afraid that Tan Rou would be slowly influencing Tao Qi. In order to prevent Tan Rou from talking bad about her behind her back, Tan Jing might as well tell Tao Qi about it first. This way, no matter what Tan Rou said, Tao Qi would subconsciously think of what she said.
Tao Qi furrowed his brows. He was about to faint.
According to Sister Jingjing, Tan Rou didn’t care about him at all. She was just trying to drive a wedge between him and Sister Jingjing.
However, before he went to school, Tan Rou had clearly said that she didn’t care about the extent of his relationship with Sister Jingjing. Who was the one who was telling the truth now? Could it be that Tan Rou was just pretending to be magnanimous in front of him but threatening Sister Jingjing behind his back?
Tan Jing continued talking. “I might not be able to go back to the Tao family. Xiaoqi, you have to share more things with me. Even if I can’t go home, I’m happy to know that you’re doing well.”
Hearing Tan Jing’s words, Tao Qi nodded happily. He also wanted Sister Jingjing to go home, so it was only right to share things with her.
Seeing that Tao Qi agreed to her request without hesitation, Tan Jing let out a sigh of relief.
In any case, it was good progress to get a hold of the Tao family’s movements as soon as possible. It would be much more convenient for her to take any further actions. Not only could she prevent Tan Rou from plotting against her, but she could also catch her off guard!
Tao Qi was a little young, a little willful, and hard to please, but he was still useful!
Tan Jing smiled in satisfaction and touched Tao Qi’s little face affectionately. “Xiao Qi, you’re the best. I love you the most.”
Tao Qi smiled obediently. He was also very happy that Sister Jingjing was being so affectionate. Although it was a little uncomfortable for her long nails to be scratching his face, this was how beautiful girls should be!
Tao Qi tilted his head, feeling that something was wrong.
Tan Rou, that bad woman, didn’t have long nails. Instead, she had clean and neat short nails. She easily grabbed his collar and always messed up his hair. She was very rough and did not act like a woman.
Although Tao Qi was the youngest in the family, he had always thought that he was a man and should protect girls, even if that person was his elder sister. So, after hearing that Tan Jing had been bullied, he had rushed home in advance.
Compared to Tan Jing, who was fragrant and soft and needed protection, Tan Rou was always fierce and cold. It was good enough that she didn’t bully him. Why did she need protection?
So from the beginning, Tao Qi subconsciously felt that Tan Rou was the stronger girl and would bully Sister Jingjing. Sister Jingjing was soft and weak. She would only cry when she was wronged.
Tao Qi felt that he might have indeed been influenced by Tan Rou. Why did he doubt sister Jingjing just now and waver in his decision to kick Tan Rou out of the Tao family? Tan Rou was indeed too dangerous. He had to stay clear-headed!
So, under Tan Jing’s gentle attack, Tao Qi was a little brainwashed again. He decided to continue his plan of driving Tan Rou away once he got home!
Tan Jing, on the other hand, was proud of herself.
She looked at this silly boy. He didn’t seem happy even when she brought him to such a good place to eat but he immediately brightened up when she gently touched his face. He was still the same as before. It seemed that she had been worried about nothing.
