Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Morning, Xiao Ron!” Liang Lu had been waiting for Tan Rou at the entrance today. She had some questions for Tan Rou, but she didn’t want to disturb her studies, so she took the opportunity to ask her questions while Tan Rou was walking from the entrance to the teaching building.
“Good morning, Liang Lu. You’re early today.” Tan Rou answered with a gentle smile.
“Hehe.” Liang Lu smiled. “Because I have a question for you.”
Tan Rou said, “If you have any questions, you can send me a message or come to class. There’s no need to wake up so early. The weather was quite cold, so it was better to sleep in.”
“Sleeping is not as important as studying.” Liang Lu was aware of how much she lacked.
“Morning, Xiao Rou!” Li Li ran up to them. “Good morning, Liang Lu!”
Liang Lu waved at her as a greeting.
Just as the three of them were about to enter the school gate, a disheveled man suddenly rushed in front of them and grabbed Tan Ron’s arm.
Tan Rou didn’t expect someone to appear and was caught by him. However, she reacted quickly and grabbed the man’s arm, kicking him away from them.
Liang Lu stood in front of Tan Rou and rolled up her sleeves. “Who are you?” she asked.
The man pushed his greasy hair aside and said anxiously, “Rourou, it’s me. It’s Daddy!”
However, the person who called himself ‘daddy’ was not Father Tao, but Tan Song, who had been hated by everyone recently.
Tan Song’s face was covered in dirt, and the coat he was wearing seemed to have not been changed for a long time, emitting an unpleasant smell.
“Xiao Rou, please help daddy. Daddy is really at a loss.” As Tan Song spoke, he started crying.
When Tan Rou heard Tan Song call himself ‘daddy’, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. “Who do you think you are? How dare you say that you’re my father?”
Tan Song lowered his attitude. “Daddy was wrong in the past. Can Daddy apologize to you?” As he spoke, he knelt down and bowed to Tan Rou. “I’ve made a terrible mistake. Please forgive Daddy!”
Tan Rou really wanted to smash his mouth, but she didn’t want to dirty her hands. “I’m afraid you’re blind and your brain is damaged. Your daughter is Tan Jing, not me.”
“Xiao Rou, we raised you for seventeen years. Don’t we have any relationship between us?” Tan Song said.
“Besides, I don’t want a lot from you, just 50 million. As long as you give me 50 million, we’ll write off all our past grudges.”
“You’re really interesting!” Tan Rou sneered and mocked, “It was you who hurt me. Now, you want me to give you 50 million to erase our past grievances? Do I look like a fool to you?”
“I…” Tan Song changed his words. “Okay, okay, okay. Let’s not talk about the past. Let’s talk about something else. Rourou, on account of the fact that the Tan family has raised you for 17 years, lent me 50 million yuan. When I have enough money to start the company, 1 will definitely repay you.”
“You raised me for seventeen years?” Tan Rou found it ridiculous. “1 really don’t understand how you have the audacity to say that. When I was still a baby, you fed me sleeping pills. When I was four years old, 1 was sent to that kind of place. Do you know how I lived for those ten years?”
Tan Song stammered, unable to say anything.
Tan Ron’s emotions rose and she recounted everything that had happened in the past ten years.
“When 1 was first sent there, no one cared if I was a young and weak child. They only cared if I could continue the experiment.
“They were asking a four-year-old child to learn 10,000 Chinese characters in a year, and after the age of five, they would learn 6,000 words in a year. If one of them made a mistake, they would be locked in a small black room and would not be allowed to eat or sleep.
“They kept instilling knowledge into us. If we couldn’t learn it, they would put electromagnetic hats on our heads and stuff knowledge into our brains. If we couldn’t learn it, they would use electricity to shock us. You even said that those things are used to develop our brains. Do you think those things can really develop our brains?
“Do you know how many children there were? At first, there are a hundred children, the last, only less than five children, the last of them even went crazy and some committed suicide. In the beginning, there were children who died tragically being carried away from me almost every day.
“I was lucky enough to survive, but my brain was also damaged by them and implanted with a lot of messy memories. I really wanted to crack open my brain every day to take a good look at it.
Tan Rou said coldly, “Is this what you call raising me gracefully for 17 years?”
