Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

119 119 Sincere and fake

Everyone was whispering to each other. It was rare to exchange daughters after 18 years, and it was a secret between the two families. The situation after the exchange aroused everyone’s curiosity. It was like a TV drama.

After listening to Tan Jing’s words, everyone looked at Tan Rou in unison, wanting to hear how Tan Rou would explain.

However, Tan Rou did not want to argue with Tan Jing over this matter at all. The quality of filial piety was not only by words. No one could prove anything. The parents of the two families could not be called to the school to evaluate the most filial daughter, right?

Tan Jing naturally knew this, so she preempted her and exaggerated her unfilial remarks. She had no way to prove it, which achieved Tan Jing’s purpose of disgusting others.

However, Tan Rou wasn’t in a hurry. She knocked on the table with her fingers and said slowly, “Tan Jing, last time when Chen Yi … Oh no, Aunt Chen, have you forgotten that she yelled at me? That day, I made it very clear that she and Uncle Tan did not have the grace of giving birth to me, and they did not give me much while they raised me. As parents, they were never kind to me, so why do I have to be filial to them?”

Tan Rou narrowed her eyes slightly. Tan Jing had been criticizing her for a long time, both openly and secretly. Now that she had said this, she had to spit it out.

“There’s a good saying where if they only gave birth to me and had not raised me, I should return a finger to them but if they did not give birth or raise me, nothing in my life would be able to repay what they have done for me. Unfortunately, the Tan couple gave me neither but I’ve already paid back what I should have. Besides, it’s not up to you to say whether I’m filial or not. It seems that you can speak on behalf of your parents and be on equal footing with them at home? Then, you’re not that filial as well.”

After Tan Rou finished speaking, she chuckled.

Tan Jing’s expression froze, and she secretly cursed Tan Rou for still being so eloquent.

The people around them suddenly realised the truth. That’s right. Not long ago, the Tan family had scolded Tan Rou in the restaurant. They heard that it was pretty unpleasant. They even accidentally slapped Tan Jing when they were actually targeting Tan Rou.

It seemed that Tan Rou had been badly beaten and scolded a lot in the past. It seemed that Tan Rou’s words made sense. Since they were not her biological parents and they did not treat her well, there was indeed no need to keep in touch with them!

Tan Jing saw that she couldn’t win against Tan Rou, so she didn’t want to make any more fuss regarding the Tan family. After all, she and Chen Yi were wrong in many things. The more she spoke, the easier it was for Tan Rou to get hold of something.

Tan Jing tried to lead the conversation to the Tao family. “You have a misunderstanding about the Tan family, so I won’t try to persuade you. I’ll be there to be filial to them. But according to what you said, the Tao family has been kind to you for giving birth. Are you going to make them feel sad?”

As Tan Jing spoke, she seemed to be sad and started to choke again. “Tao Qi was so anxious to find me. I was always worried that he would be unhappy at home. That’s why I decided to tell you about it. You don’t have to choke me with every word!”

Some people around them couldn’t stand it anymore and went up to comfort her. They also turned around to persuade Tan Rou, “She’s right, Tan Rou. As an elder sister, you should treat your brother better. Children are the most honest. He can be nice to whomever he wants. Tan Jing misses him so much which is why he made a fuss about coming to school to find Tan Jing.”

Tan Rou sneered. “Tan Jing, I wouldn’t have been angry if you didn’t mention this. Tao Qi is only ten years old. Even if he misses you, he’s running around like a newborn lamb in the streets filled with tigers; but how old are you? Don’t you know how to stop him? What if he got into danger on the way? It’s great that you are concerned about him.”

Tan Rou showed no mercy and ruthlessly exposed tan Jing’s hypocritical mask.

She has been wanting to ask Tan Jing how she let a ten-year-old child come all the way to school to find her. She still had the audacity to say all these proudly and was using Tao Qi’s safety as a capital to show off. She was really shameless.

Although Tan Rou knew that Tao Qi was smarter than children his age and had left home earlier, he was already independent on his own and would not have any problems. She still didn’t like how Tan Jing liked standing on the high moral ground and criticising her?

As soon as Tan Rou said this, the people around her were stunned. The people who had just helped Tan Jing persuade Tan Rou looked embarrassed as well.

Her brother was only ten years old? That was indeed a little dangerous. Tan Jing had said so much, but she had not mentioned a single word about her brother’s safety. Tan Rou’s last sentence made everyone afraid to come to a conclusion. It was really hard to judge who was truly concerned and who was pretending.
