Chapter 377: 377 It’s All the Same
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
While eating, Tao Zhi kept thinking about Zhuang Liu. The Zhuang family was very chaotic. Tao Zhi had even witnessed Zhuang Liu being assassinated when they were in school.
At that time, they were observing the plants in the botanical garden. At that time, someone suddenly appeared and sprayed chemicals at Zhuang Liu. If the teacher had not reacted in time, Zhuang Liu would probably have died. Later on, he overheard some news that Zhuang Liu’s injury was caused by someone from the family.
Zhuang Liu must have been ostracized by the Zhuang family; maybe it was because of his leg injury.
“Big brother, why are you in a daze again? Are you still eating the chicken wings in your bowl?” Tao Qi asked.
“You can have them.” Tao Zhi gave the chicken wing to Tao Qi and deliberately said, “Eat more and grow taller.”
Tao Qi bit his chicken wing angrily. “I’m still young. Once I’m at your age, I’ll definitely be taller than you.”
Tao Zhi smiled but didn’t say anything.
After dinner, Tan Rou rested for about ten minutes before Tao Zheng drove her to school.
Tao Zhi had been watching the Zhuang family’s situation. When he saw Zhuang Liu’s car come out, he immediately went forward to stop them.
Zhuang Liu saw Tao Zhi and felt that he had something to say to him. He asked Xiao Mo to wait at the side while he moved towardsTao Zhi in his wheelchair.
“You probably don’t know me.” Tao Zhi said.
Zhuang Liu was not surprised. He replied, “I can roughly guess your identity.”
Tao Zhi raised his hand, signaling him not to continue. “It’s fine as long as you know. You don’t have to say it.”
Zhuang Liu sat quietly by the table and asked, “Big Brother Tao, What would you like to talk to me about then?”
“Don’t call me Big Brother Tao, we’re not that close.” Tao Zhi said in a distant manner.
Zhuang Liu calmly changed the way he addressed him. “Alright, Mr. Tao.”
“I came here to tell you something. To be precise, it’s time to warn you about something.”
Zhuang Liu could almost guess what he wanted to say, and then he smiled slightly. “Both of Rourou’s elder brothers are indeed interesting.”
Tao Zhi paused. “What do you mean?”
Zhuang Liu whispered, “I think what you want to say next might be the same as what your brother said to me.”
As expected, Zhuang Liu did not have good intentions. Even Tao Zheng, that idiot, could tell that he had ill intentions.
“But I still have to say it. Stay away from my sister.” Tao Zhi seemed a little angry.
Zhuang Liu said, “Xiao Rou and I only have a doctor and patient relationship. Your family knows about this.”
Tao Zhi was puzzled.” Doctor and patient?” He looked at Zhuang Liu’s leg. “What happened to your leg?”
“Paralyzed by poison.” Zhuang Liu answered truthfully.
Tao Zhi thought of the way he stood up with a walking stick in the afternoon and asked curiously, “But you could walk in the afternoon!”
“I can, but we still have to hide it.” Tao Zhi immediately understood what he meant.
“Who poisoned you?” Tao Zhi asked. After asking, he answered himself, “Forget it. The internal strife in your Zhuang family is very fierce. One of your uncles must have done it.
Zhuang Liu wasn’t surprised by his words at all. To know that the Zhuang family’s internal strife was fierce and that it was his uncles who did it, it was already obvious who Tao Zhi was.
“You just said that you and Xiao Rou are patients and doctors. Was she the one who treated your leg?” Tao Zhi asked again.
“Yes.” Zhuang Liu thought of Tan Rou and the corners of his lips curled up. “Rourou has been treating me.”
Tao Zhi wasn’t very happy after hearing that. “Hmph, you should be fine soon, right?”
After all, Zhuang Liu could already walk on with the help of those walking aids.
“Yes.” Zhuang Liu was both hopeful and regretful. He was hopeful that his leg would recover, but he was also regretful that he could not use this as an excuse to look for Tan Rou.
“Once your leg recovers, stop looking for my sister again. She’s still a student and needs to focus on school.” Tao Zhi warned him.
Zhuang Liu did not want to listen to him, but he could not offend Tao Zhi either, so he could only say, “I’ll listen to what Xiao Rou wants.”
Tao Zhi couldn’t stop Tan Rou, but he didn’t want his good sister to get involved in the chaos of the Zhuang family. So he said, “Deal with your own family matters first before talking about this.”
With that, Tao Zhi left without looking back.
Xiao Mo quietly came over and said, “Mr. Tao seems to be very opposed to you being with Miss Tan Rou.”
Zhuang Liu said helplessly, “If Xiao Rou was your sister, you would be worried too.”
Xiao Mo thought for a moment. He would indeed be very worried..
