Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

132 132 Tao Qi’s dilemma

Tan Rou’s advice to Mr. And Mrs. Tao was naturally sincere. Tao Qi was already ten years old and he was already a smart boy. He could already think for himself. No matter what others said, it would be useless if he didn’t understand it himself. It would only make him feel that he had deceived everyone. Everyone was drunk and he was the only one who remained sober. It would instead stimulate his fighting spirit and it would be difficult to deal with it then.

However, Tan Rou was also a little curious. Tao Qi’s current attitude was a little strange. He didn’t listen to Tan Jing’s instigation and scolded her as soon as he got home, saying that she had bullied his Sister Jingjing. However, he didn’t seem to be unaffected by Tan Jing either. Now, he had his back turned and remained quiet, as if he was angry and competing with her. He didn’t even react when she deliberately ridiculed him. If it was any other time, he would have already been eager to argue with her.

No matter what the change was, Tan Rou was prepared for it. She was waiting to deal with Tao Qi’s emotions when he returned home. She was even mentally prepared for the possibility that her relationship with Tao Qi would return to the state of liberation. After all, Tao Qi still had feelings for Tan Jing. After meeting her with great difficulty, there should be some changes in his heart. However, the current situation made Tan Rou a little confused. What exactly did Tan Jing do and say? To cause Tai Qi to be in such a dilemma.

Tan Rou frowned and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong with you?

!!

Tao Qi didn’t know what was wrong with him. Before he went home, he had a stomach full of questions to ask Tan Rou, but when he saw her, he didn’t know how to say them.

Tao Qi’s mind was in a mess. Sister Jingjing said that Tan Rou didn’t care about him and only acted well in front of him, pretending to be nice in order to gain a good impression in front of his parents.

However, since last night, Tan Rou had not only helped him cook, but also put in a good word for him to avoid being reprimanded. If she was only pretending, then she was doing a great job; even Sister Jingjing had never been so attentive to him. Besides, Tao Qi subconsciously refused to admit that the heartwarming time last night was all an illusion that Tan Rou put up.

Tao Qi was very distressed. Sister Jingjing also said that Tan Rou had a bad temper and often bullied her in school. So, she was afraid that he would be bullied by Tan Rou. After spending a day with her, Tao Qi felt that even when Tan Rou was always fierce and even ridiculed him, she was still sincere to him.

Tao Qi was willful but he wasn’t a fool. Tan Rou told him to eat more vegetables and to be careful when crossing the road because she was concerned about him. It was just that the way she expressed it was unlikable and always goaded him but he enjoyed it.

Tao Qi didn’t know whether he should believe Sister Jingjing’s words or his own heart. What if his feelings were wrong and Tan Rou was really good at pretending? What if Sister Jingjing had misunderstood Tan Rou or was deliberately lying to him?

Tao Qi was shocked by this thought. He couldn’t believe that he would suspect his favorite sister because of Tan Rou. Sister Jingjing had no reason to lie to him. Tao Qi couldn’t understand it and became more and more irritated. After holding it in for a long time, he asked Tan Rou stiffly, “Did you bully Sister Jingjing in school?”

Tan Rou saw that Tao Qi didn’t speak for a long time and thought that he was preparing to lose his temper at her. She didn’t expect that he would say this after waiting for a long time. She suddenly laughed and said with a smile, “Did Tan Jing tell you that?”

Tao Qi felt that Tan Rou wasn’t being serious at all. He only asked this because she had treated him well and he wanted an explanation. What was she laughing at? Tao Qi turned around as his eyes were opened wide. “Don’t bother with what Sister Jingjing said. If you bullied her, you have to admit it!”

Tan Rou looked at Tao Qi’s particularly serious expression and couldn’t help but become serious as well. Tao Qi wasn’t asking randomly for no reason, he really wanted to hear her answer.

This surprised tan Rou a little. Tao Qi didn’t directly throw a tantrum at her, nor did he question her without listening to her explanation. Instead, he was very serious and wanted to hear her answer. This meant that no matter what Tan Jing said, Tao Qi didn’t completely believe it. Instead, he began to struggle and wanted to distinguish it independently.

Although this was Tan Rou’s ultimate goal for letting Tao Qi meet Tan Jing, she didn’t expect it to progress so quickly. It seemed that Tan Jing’s performance wasn’t as good as she expected. She didn’t completely win over Tao Qi and blind his eyes.
