Tan Rou wanted to laugh when she saw the flag they were raising. She had already told them not to raise it, but she didn’t expect them to still buy it.
“Where’s Mom and Dad?” Tan Rou didn’t see her parents. “Did they go shopping?”
“Daddy and Mommy went home already.” Tao Qi ran over to hug Tan Rou.”Third Sister, guess who’s back?”
Tan Rou guessed that their eldest brother had returned, but she did not want to ruin the mystery. ”1 don’t know.”
Tao Qi took her hand and brought her to the car. Then, the car door opened.
A tall and handsome young man looked at her uneasily. “Xiao… Xiao Rou, right?”
Tan Rou smiled gently. “You’re Big Brother, right? Welcome home.”
Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment before he relaxed. “You’ve worked hard on the competition.”
Tan Rou could tell that he was nervous, so she chatted with him a little more to ease the atmosphere. “I heard from Second Brother that you’ll only be back on Dad’s birthday. Why are you here so soon?”
Tao Zhi looked troubled, but since his sister had asked, he had to answer. “I didn’t have anything important to do, so I came back early.”
Tan Rou held Tao Zhi’s arm with a smile. “Alright. Let’s go home then.”
Tao Zhi was very nervous. This was the first time he had seen his biological sister. He didn’t know how to deal with her. In the past, when Tan Jing was around, he did not have a good relationship with her. It could only be said that they were acquaintance. They were not like a family at all. Tan Jing was also very distant from him. The two of them barely communicated.
Therefore, Tao Zhi was very afraid that his biological sister would also alienate him. Now, it seemed that he was thinking too much. As expected, there was still a connection between siblings.
Tan Rou sat with her eldest and youngest brother in the backseat while Tao Zheng drove. The siblings chatted and laughed as they headed to their new home.
Tan Jing came out from behind the tree. The flames of jealousy filled her heart. Tan Rou had enjoyed her 17 years of glory and wealth, and now she had snatched away her family. Even Tao Zhi, who she had met for the first time, treated her so well. This was unfair!
Tao Zhi had a bad relationship with Tan Jing. Not only with Tan Jing, but his relationship with his family was also average. He never knew how to communicate with them and only liked playing his guitar by the window. After graduation, he fell out with his family. Tan Jing didn’t even get to see Tao Zhi again until Tan Jing returned to the Tan family. She had always thought that Tao Zhi was a cold person.
Now that Tao Zhi had come to pick Tan Rou up the moment he came back, he even held her arm and laughed with her. It was obvious that Tao Zhi was not a cold person at all.
Everything belonged to Tan Rou. Tan Jing couldn’t understand why and how everything went to her!!! Her parents, brothers, grades, friends… These were all Tan Rou’s! Originally, she still had the identity of the eldest daughter of the Tan family, but now the Tan family had become a huge joke.
Looking at the competition venue, Tan Jing had a plan in her mind. If she couldn’t participate in the competition, Tan Rou shouldn’t be allowed to participate either!!! Thinking of this, Tan Jing hurriedly took a taxi to another place.

In the car, the Tao siblings were chatting.
“How long will Big Brother be back this time?” Tan Rou asked.
Tao Zhi replied, “I won’t be leaving anymore after this.”
“Ah, isn’t your job important? Isn’t it pretty strict?” Tao Zheng asked.
Tao Zhi shook his head. “I already resigned from it.”
“Why did you resign?” Tao Zheng didn’t understand. “Was it because it’s too tiring or difficult?”
In fact, he didn’t know what his older brother’s job was. Tao Zhi’s job was a secret, and even his parents wouldn’t tell him. Moreover, Tao Zhi had a bad relationship with his family previously, so he would not say anything.
Tao Zhi couldn’t tell them. “There are certain rules that I still have to comply with after leaving my job. I can’t reveal anything about the company, so I can’t tell you anything.”
“Well, we understand.”
Tan Rou could understand this feeling very well. Just like before, she couldn’t tell anyone where she used to stay. Not only that she couldn’t tell them where she learnt certain skills, she also couldn’t show them what she truly knew. If it wasn’t for the fact that her brain was already damaged, she probably wouldn’t be able to live a peaceful life now.
Not long after, the car drove into the luxurious villa area, Jade Water Elegant Residence.
Although Tan Rou had already stayed here for two days, every time she came, she wanted to ask again, “Is our family really an ordinary one instead of a secretly wealthy family?”
Tao Qi was still young, and Tao Zheng was silly. They would not doubt their parent’s words at all, but Tan Rou did not believe it. Even if the Tao parents said that the house was rented, she did not believe it. This was because the residents who could afford to buy a house in Jade Water Elegant Residence would not care about the rent that was merely ten thousand.
Tao Zhi smiled and patted his sister’s head. He said gently, “Don’t think too much about it. You’ll know in the future..”
