Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Isn’t it suffering? Have I ever had a good day at your house?” Tan Jing asked. “You even have to note down every cent that we’ve used! 1 hated that life!!!” “Haha!” Tao Zhen’s mother was so angry that her heart ached. She ordered, “Tao Zhen, bring those books over!”
Tao Zhen moved out a box from the side of the stage. It was filled with books.
“Why? Are you still planning to take back the tens of thousands of yuan you spent on me?” Tan Jing asked sarcastically.
“Since you want to settle the scores, then you have to settle it clearly.” Mother Tao flipped through an old account book. “I just had a habit to keep these records as a diary, but 1 didn’t expect it to come in handy today.”
“This is the dance class we’ve sent you to since you were four years old. We signed you up for it. It costs 800 yuan per class. We hired one of the best dance teachers in the country.” Mother Tao picked out one of the accounts and read it out.
“This is the piano lesson you took. We’ve hired a famous piano teacher from abroad. One lesson costs 1,200, and you’ve been taking it for five years. And the piano 1 bought for you. It’s not very expensive, but it still cost 1.5 million.”
Mother Tao read out the second account.
“When you were ten years old, you saw a floral dress in the mall. At that time, that dress was worth 800 yuan. We felt that the material of that dress was not good enough, so we didn’t buy it for you. On the next, you received seven hand-sewn floral dresses. That dress was embroidered by a famous Suzhou embroidery master in China. One dress is worth 150,000. You can count the cost of seven dresses. We have never mistreated you since you were a child!”
Tan Jing still remembered those floral dresses. However, she was angry that Mrs. Tao didn’t buy her that floral dress, so she didn’t care about those dresses. She thought that Mrs. Tao had randomly found a roadside tailor to make them for her.
“The amount of money you have spent in the family over the years, if not thirty million, it should be at least twenty million.” Mrs. Tao closed the account book. “If you really want to settle the score, then we’ll settle it. How much money does our Rourou owe your family? We’ll pay it back now. And you, Tan Jing, have to return all the money you spent on our family to us!”
“President Tan, we can return the money our Rourou spent to you now. When are you going to return the money your daughter spent at our house?” Mr. Tao said sternly.
Tan Song kept a straight face and did not say a word. He could not take out that sum of money at all. Let alone 30 million, he could not even take out 3 million now. He had wanted to use Tan Jing to get something back but he didn’t think that he would have to pay back more.”
Tan Jing’s face was filled with disbelief. Why did she spend so much money? Since she was young, she has indeed learned a lot of skills. She had learned piano, dance, and violin, but no one had ever told her those teachers were all top masters from abroad. She thought the Tao parents had randomly found them to make up the numbers.
If she had known earlier, she would have rejected the Tan family when they came looking for her. This birthday party would have been held for her if she had rejected the Tan family.
She couldn’t give up on the Tao family in the capital. She had to be married into the Tao family in the capital. Otherwise, what would happen to the rest of her life?
“Auntie, I’m sorry.” Tan Jing pursed her lips and started crying. “1 didn’t know about those things. Can I please beg for forgiveness now?”
Mrs. Tao ignored her.
Tan Song calculated in his heart and then shamelessly dragged Tan Jing to apologize to the Tao family. However, the phone in his pocket rang before he could walk to the front of the stage.
Tan Song didn’t even look at him and hung up the phone. Nothing was more important than building a good relationship with the Tao family. However, the call came in again. Tan Song had no choice but to answer the call first.
As he listened, Tan Song’s expression changed. He didn’t even hang up the phone and ran out of the venue.
Tan Jing was confused. Why did her father leave first? What about her? She couldn’t leave. If she left now, she wouldn’t have the chance to get close to the Tao family from the Capital in the future, so Tan Jing thickened her skin and stayed.
Zhao Ru also stayed to attend the banquet. She was still dreaming of being the young lady of the Tao family.. Since Tao Zhi didn’t like Tan Jing, did that mean Zhao Ru had a chance?
