There were several rows of people standing in front of the Tao family’s villa. Not only were the Tao family members present, but some distant relatives of the Tao family were also present.
Grandma Tao stood at the front with a few middle-aged men and women. Behind them were the juniors. The younger children stood beside their parents. Tan Rou and the others finally arrived at the villa. By the time they reached the villa, the sky was almost dark.
“Sister!” When Tao Qi saw them, he was the first to say, “1 miss you so much!” He hadn’t seen Tan Rou for a few days. This time, Mother Tao wanted him to stay there to study, but he insisted on coming back because he wanted to see his sister.
Tan Rou smiled at him, then held her mother’s arm and walked into the crowd.
“This must be Xiao Rou. She looks so much like sister-in-law!” A woman with exquisite makeup said.
“This is your aunt,” said Mother Tao to Tan Rou. Then, she pointed at the others. “These are your Second Uncle and Third Uncle. Behind them are their wives.”
Tan Rou greeted them one by one.
Next, Grandma Tao introduced Tan Rou to the children who were about her age. Among them, only Second Uncle Tao’s son, Tao Sheng, was older than Tan Rou. Third, Uncle Tao and Aunt Tao’s children were younger than Tan Rou, especially Aunt Tao’s twin sons. They were only ten years old this year, even younger than Tao Qi.
Finally, Grandma Tao introduced Tao Yue. “Xiao Rou, this is your cousin’s sister, Yueyue. From now on, you two will be the two golden flowers of the Tao family. You must treat each other kindly.”
Tan Rou smiled. “So you’re Sister Tao Yue. What fate!”
“Do you know each other?” Grandma Tao asked in confusion.
Tao Yue wanted to take the initiative, so she said, “Yeah, we know each other.” I didn’t expect you to be my cousin. When 1 saw you, 1 felt that you were very familiar and 1 really wanted to get close to you. As expected, there is indeed a connection between families.”
“Do you have intermittent amnesia?” Tan Rou asked with a smile. “Didn’t you already know my name when we met this afternoon? Your attitude towards me back then wasn’t like this.”
“I wasn’t sure of your identity at that time, so I followed you.” Tao Yue said.
“Humph!” Tan Rou looked at Tao Yue and sneered. “There’s a photo, and you already knew my name. It almost feels like you did this on purpose. Also, the way you looked at me at that time was very strange. Those who didn’t know better would think that 1 owed you something. Even my classmates are asking me if I owe you money.”
Tao Yue’s face darkened. She shouldn’t have gone to Tan Rou today, but she couldn’t be blamed. No one told her that Tan Rou would be coming home today. If she had known that Tan Rou would come back, she would have made preparations.
“Second Sister-in-law, have you seen Xiao Ron’s friends?” Mother Tao asked.
“I didn’t find them. Yue Yue said that they might have left.”
Tan Ron’s phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Li Li. She told her that they had just returned to the hotel and were going back to school tomorrow.
Tan Rou asked them when they got on the bus, and Li Li sent her the time and the incident where Tao Yue provoked them.
“Did you really see them leave?” Tan asked Tao Yue when she saw the time.
Tao Yue suddenly panicked. “i did see them leave.”
“Did you tell them that it was not easy to hail a taxi here and let them freeze to death at the bus stop?” Tan Ron’s eyes turned cold.
“Eldest cousin, we’re family. How can you believe the outsiders so easily?” Tao Yue said sadly.
Tan Rou kept her phone. “Second Cousin, 1 hope my friend is just trying to make me happy. After all, I don’t like people lying to me.”
She didn’t expect Tao Yue to admit it. She just wanted to show Tao Yue that she was powerful. Now that she was back, the Tao family wouldn’t allow Tao Yue to behave atrociously.
Tao Yue panicked for no reason. She didn’t dare to look into Tan Ron’s eyes. It was as if Tan Ron’s eyes could see through her heart.
Second Aunt Tao could tell that the atmosphere between them was not right. In order to protect her daughter, she came out to smooth things over. “It’s getting dark. Let’s go in first. The food has been prepared.. Rourou and Yueyue must be hungry after a long day, right?”
