Chapter 130: Biased
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Tan Si heard this, her expression turned a little ugly. She had spent so much money, and half of it was borrowed. All she got was this sentence. Tan Ming had only spent just over a million yuan! Her aunt was so biased!
However, when she thought about how she had to please Tan Rou, Tan Si took a deep breath. However, she was still indignant and revealed a smile. “1 know, Auntie. Auntie, you’re so good to Sister that I’m really jealous. My gift of more than eight million yuan can’t even compare to Sister’s one million yuan to please you.”
Tan Si’s words carried a hint of sarcasm. Tan Rou lowered her eyes slightly and thought of how Tan Si had deliberately s.n.a.t.c.hed her own brother-in-law away. Her smile faded slightly. “Si Si, it’s been so many years, but you still have to try and suppress your sister in everything. It’s been 10 years since I went overseas. This problem hasn’t changed at all.”
When Tan Si heard this, she pouted. “Aunt, why are you always helping outsiders?”
Tan Si acted as if she was not in the wrong and it was always someone else who was in the wrong. Tan Ron’s voice was a little cold. “I’ll help whoever is in the right.”
Considering that it was Tan Ron’s birthday today, Tan Ming did not want Tan Rou to be angered. Hence, she took the initiative to change the topic and said to Tan Rou with a smile, “Actually, there’s a very important meaning behind my gift of these two jade stones!”
“I just hope that my luck in stone gambling can also be given to Aunt as a gift.”
When Tan Rou heard Tan Ming’s words, she reached out and touched Tan Ming’s face. She smiled brightly. “Good child, Aunt has already received it.”
At the side, Tan Si could not help but say, “Suck up!”
Tan Ming shot a cold glance at Tan Si. “No one will think you’re mute if you don’t speak.”
When Tan Si heard this, she opened her mouth and wanted to scold her. However, when her gaze met Tan Ming’s knuckles, her mouth squirmed a few times. In the end, she only said, “Vulgar and violent!”
With that said, Tan Si turned around and left quickly.
Upon seeing this scene, Tan Rou looked at Tan Ming with interest. Although she did not say anything, her eyes were filled with questions.
Tan Ming covered her mouth and laughed. She recounted her previous counterattack in detail.
After Tan Rou heard this, she stretched out her finger and tapped Tan Ming’s forehead. She smiled and said, “You finally know how to protect yourself. What 1 was most worried about when I was overseas was that you were too gentle. No matter how you were bullied, you didn’t know how to resist. Now, I’m not worried anymore. You’ve really grown up. You know that even a Buddha’s heart has to have thunderous means. Let’s go. 1’11 bring you in to meet some of my friends in the country.”
Tan Rou pulled Tan Ming to meet many people. Seeing this, w.a.n.g Li gave Tan Si a look, so Tan Si followed.
Tan Rou did not want to be too biased and chase her away, so she brought the two of them along.
Lunch was a Western buffet. After Tan Ming finished eating, she saw that Tan Rou was very busy and did not disturb her further. She bade farewell to Tan Rou and left.
w.a.n.g Li looked at Tan Ming’s silhouette as she left. She pouted and said to Tan Si in a low voice, “Did you see that? That ingrate came over to greet us, then left without waiting for me and your father to respond. She’s really ill-mannered.”
Tan Si was looking at the nail of her middle finger that had accidentally broken. When she heard w.a.n.g Li’s words, she replied nonchalantly, “She’s no longer under our family’s control. If she stays, she’ll be dragging Si Cheng down whether you scold her or not.”
When w.a.n.g Li heard this, she felt a little frustrated. “When can we get the sample from Si Cheng?”
At the mention of him, Tan Si looked at w.a.n.g Li. “Don’t worry, we can meet tomorrow.”
w.a.n.g Li’s anxious heart did not relax because of these words. She had to wait for the results to be out before she could feel at ease.
When Tan Ming returned to Sea City, her life returned to normal.
Si Family
Old Master Si was so angry that he slammed the report on the table. “The Tan family has some leopard’s gut! How dare they use a b.a.s.t.a.r.d child to pose as a child of our Si family! Do they think we’re easy to bully?!”
Old Madam Si frowned and leaned against her husband. Si Ming and Zheng Wen sat calmly on the sofa at the side.
Si Cheng sat alone in the armchair. When he saw the report, he didn’t even look up.
Seeing their reactions, Old Master Si felt a little strange. “What kind of reaction is this?”
Only then did Si Ming snort coldly. “You have to ask your good grandson what his brain was thinking.”
Old Master Si immediately understood. “You all knew?”
Old Madam Si looked at her grandson and couldn’t help but interrupt, “Si Cheng, what exactly are you doing?”
