“I’m w.a.n.g Shu. It’s about…” w.a.n.g Shu stammered as he apologized, “I have to explain about the rumors about Tan Rou on the Internet.””
“I don’t need your explanation.” Tan Rou reminded her, “I just need you to apologize and withdraw from the physics compet.i.tion.”
“Tan Rou, don’t go too far with this!” w.a.n.g Xin came over to defend w.a.n.g Shu.
Tan Rou did not plan to let either of them off. The siblings were not good people. “Since you’re here too, you can apologize with him then. Can you bear to see your brother standing alone in front of the camera?”
w.a.n.g Xin hesitated for a moment, then stood beside w.a.n.g Shu and said loudly, “Since we agreed to the bet, we’ll admit defeat then. Tan Rou, we’re sorry. We shouldn’t have spread rumors about you on the internet. Please forgive us.”
“What about the bet?” Tan Rou reminded them.
w.a.n.g Shu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “We won’t partic.i.p.ate in the physics compet.i.tion anymore. We mean what we say!”
“Great.” Tan Rou walked in front of the camera and smiled. “I accept your apology. Also, I have to say that my results are based on my own abilities. I don’t need to resort to underhanded methods. If there are still rumors about me in the future, I will choose to call the police directly. If you don’t believe what I can do, try and challenge me then.”
With that, she left the venue.
“Xiao Rou, you were so cool just now!” Li Li held her phone. “I’ve already recorded what you said just now. I will use it to motivate me in the future.”
Tan Rou smiled and said, “There’s no need for that. With me by your side to encourage you, do you still need to watch those videos?”
Li Li thought for a moment. “You’re right. I’ll delete it. This camera lens isn’t very good. It didn’t even capture your beauty.”
“Let me treat you guys to a meal.” Tan Rou looked at Xu Yan and the others.
“It’s the weekend, but you guys still came to cheer for me.”
When they heard that Tan Rou was going to treat them to a meal, the students all gathered around. “Sure!”
There were quite a lot of people, so Tan Rou decided to go for a barbecue.
Seeing how there were so many of them, he was afraid that this would burn a hole in Tan Rou’s pocket and so he said, “Let me treat them instead.”
“No need.” Tan Rou rejected his kindness. “I can still afford to pay for the meal.”
Li Li looked at Lu Qing in confusion. “Lu Qing, why are you trying to treat us?!”
Lu Qing was a little embarra.s.sed. “I’m just afraid that Tan Rou will spend too much money.”
Li Li felt uncomfortable listening to him. “So what if you’re rich? Although we don’t have as much money as you, it’s enough for a barbecue. Rourou has also helped me earn a sum of money too. If she doesn’t have enough money, I can help her pay.”
Tan Rou looked at Lu Qing and her att.i.tude was very distant. “I’m sorry, Lu Qing. I do have enough money and don’t need your help.”
Xu Yan’s heart ached for Lu Qing. Why couldn’t this boy just understand the situation better? Since Tan Rou offered to treat, she must have the money for it. Moreover, these two have been fiddling with stocks in cla.s.s every day. Did Lu Qing really not look at them at all? This boy even said that he liked Tan Rou?! He didn’t know anything about her. Xu Yan didn’t understand how Lu Qing had the face to say that he liked Tan Rou.
“Let’s go.” Li Li held Tan Rou’s arm. “I want to eat roasted pork!!!”
Tan Rou said, “Order whatever you want. Order a large portion. I have the money.:
Li Li was overjoyed. “Rourou is the best.”
Xu Yan followed behind them, leaving Lu Qing behind.
“Congratulations, Miss Tan Rou!” As soon as they left the school, Tan Rou was shocked by Xiao Mo’s large bouquet of sunflower lilies. Xiao Mo’s entire body was blocked by the flowers. If he hadn’t said anything, Tan Rou would have thought that the lilies had turned into spirits.
“You scared me.” Tan Rou said, “Why did you get such a big bouquet of flowers?”
Xiao Mo explained, “The Third Young Master asked me to send it over. He is packed with meetings today and can’t leave, so he asked me to send a bouquet of sunflower lilies that represents victory.”
Tan Rou looked at the bouquet of lilies that weighed at least ten kilograms. She said with a headache, I’m going to eat with my cla.s.smates now. I can’t carry them with me now.”
“It’s okay. I’ll send it to your house.” Xiao Mo said considerately.
“Alright then.” Tan Rou thanked him, “Please send my thanks to Third Brother for the flowers.”
“Alright.” Xiao Mo drove away with the flowers.
Tan Rou guessed that if Zhuang Liu had already asked Xiao Mo to send flowers, he probably saw the live broadcast. Wasn’t he in a meeting? Why did he have the time to watch the live broadcast?
That man definitely wasn’t being serious with his work.
“Rourou, he already left. What are you still laughing about?” Li Li asked. “Did the handsome guy in the wheelchair send those flowers?”
“No,” Tan Rou denied without blushing.
Li Li didn’t believe her. “I heard everything. Don’t quibble.”
“Alright, alright.” Tan Rou changed the topic. “Let’s eat!!!”
Li Li cared more about food.. “Alright, let’s go!”
