“What the h.e.l.l?” The wealthy lady with the bag pulled her daughter away from Professor Zhong and said unhappily, “You’re not the old master of the Tao family in the Capital. Why didn’t you say so?
As soon as she said that, five or six n.o.ble ladies chimed in. Everyone blamed Professor Zhong for being shameless. Since he was not the old master of the Tao family, he should have said so earlier.
Professor Zhong really didn’t know what to say. They clearly didn’t give him a chance to speak, so how did it become his fault?
“Don’t go too far!” A middle-aged man next to Professor Zhong said sternly, “You were the ones who suddenly rushed up and surrounded Professor Zhong. Then, you started introducing yourself. Did you let Professor Zhong say anything at all?”
The lady who had spoken earlier felt embarra.s.sed but she didn’t want to admit that this was her fault. It was impossible for her to admit her mistake, so she continued, “We only misrecognized you because we have no idea who you are. Since you know that we have mistaken you for another person, why didn’t you remind us?”
The middle-aged man was mad. He pointed at the n.o.blewoman and shouted, “You’re being reasonable because you’ve got the wrong person? You’re dressed so beautifully, but you don’t have no manners at all. Our professor is already so old. Can he stand the noise of you people?”
The woman turned her head away in embarra.s.sment.
The middle-aged man pointed his finger at Tan Song and his daughter again. “And the two of you, especially this young lady. We met at your school earlier. When you jumped down from the building, we were standing in the corridor. Have you forgotten?”
Tan Jing blushed at his words. She hurriedly lowered her head and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I really didn’t recognize you!”
The people who were in the wrong finally found a point to vent their anger. In the beginning, this father and daughter had mistaken this old man for someone else. However, it turned out that they had seen this old man before, and even so, they still took him for the wrong person!
“What’s wrong with the both of you? How could you recognize him wrongly when you have already met him before?!”
“Seriously, we’ve got the wrong person.”
If it were anyone else, Tan Song would have scolded them back long ago. It was just that the people who came today were either rich or n.o.ble. Each had a status above Tan Song, so he did not dare to offend them. Therefore, they could only bow and apologize to these people.
“When did Big Brother find out about our family’s situation?” Tan Rou whispered to Tao Zhi.
“When did you find out about it.” Tao Zhi asked with a smile. He felt that his sister should have known about it long ago. Otherwise, she would not have been so calm in the face of such a scene.
“You haven’t been back for long, have you?” Tan Rou tried to recall. “Dad and Mom have revealed too many flaws. For example, our vacation and our new home.”
Tao Zhi nodded slightly. “You already know that they bought the house?”
Tan Rou smiled and said, “There will never be any owner in that residence that would rent away their house.”
Tao Zhi placed his hand on Tan Ron’s head. He wanted to rub her hair a few times, but Tan Rou had just done her hair. If he rubbed it, it would be ruined. Therefore, Tao Zhi gently stroked the top of her head and praised, “My sister is such a smart girl. You’re much smarter than your brothers.”
“Second Brother probably guessed it too.” Tan Rou said, “Qiqi is still young. Even if we tell him that our family is rich, he won’t have much of an idea.” She continued with her question.
“You still haven’t told me how you found out about Dad and Mom’s true ident.i.ties.”
“When I was very young.” Tao Zhi said, “When I was young, I went to school in the Capital. They always say that I studied in the countryside but in fact, 1 was with our grandparents in the Capital.”
“Then why doesn’t Second Brother know about this?” Tan Rou was very curious.
“You’ll have to ask Dad and Mom. They might think that your second brother isn’t smart enough and wanted to wait until he’s smart enough.” Tao Zhi laughed.
After the siblings finished speaking, they could not help but cover their mouths and snicker.
Tao Zheng, who was in front of them, seemed to have heard their conversation. He hurriedly turned his head and asked them with his eyes, wanting to ask them what they were talking about.
Tao Zhi and Tan Rou tacitly averted their gazes and did not look at him. Tao Zheng couldn’t get an answer, so he could only continue to follow Grandpa Tao. Compared to knowing what his brother and sister were talking about, he wanted to know what happened to their family..
