“h.e.l.lo, Auntie. Xiao Rou went to the toilet.” Li Li said.
Mrs. Tao was very happy when she saw Li Li. “Li Li, why don’t you stay in the Capital for a few more days. I’ll take you out to walk around once I’m free?”
Li Li really wanted to stay in the Capital to play, but she still had to go back to cla.s.s. She couldn’t delay her studies for entertainment purposes. Tan Ron’s grades were good, so she wasn’t afraid of taking a leave to delay her studies, but she couldn’t do it.
“Auntie, I’d better go back to cla.s.s first. I’ll come back if I have the chance in the future.” Li Li said.
Mrs. Tao didn’t insist. “Alright, then you can come over for the New Year this year or next summer vacation. I’ll bring you to the Capital to enjoy yourself.” Li Li smiled sweetly. “Thankyou, Auntie!”
Tao Yue was very jealous. She was the daughter of the Tao family. Why didn’t her aunt say that she wanted to take her out to play? Moreover, her aunt has never been this friendly to her!
“h.e.l.lo, Auntie!” Tao Yue greeted her mother.
Only then did Mrs. Tao see Tao Yue. “Oh, Yue Yue. You’ve grown so big!” Og my, I’m really sorry. I was busy looking for your cousin and didn’t see you here.”
Tao Yue pursed her lips and smiled. “It’s alright.”
“Who is that person talking to Ms. Tao? Why haven’t I seen him in the capital before?” Most of the students and parents present were from the wealthy family in the Capital. They all knew Tao Yue, but they might not know Mrs. Tao.
“Didn’t you hear Miss Tao calling them Auntie, Big Brother, and Second Brother? It must be the wife and child of the current head of the Tao family.”
“I heard that Tao Yue is not the eldest daughter of the Tao family. The real eldest daughter of the Tao family is the daughter of the first branch.”
“Is it called something Rou? Didn’t that madam and the two young masters shout just now?”
There were also people who knew more inside information and took this opportunity to say it.
“Haven’t you heard? Not only was Tao Yue not the eldest daughter of the Tao family, she isn’t even the daughter of the Tao family. She was the child adopted by the second branch of the Tao family. They had always wanted a daughter, but she couldn’t have another child due to her health. So, she brought a girl back from the orphanage. That girl was Tao Yue.”
“Is this true?!”
“Of course it’s true! I have a cla.s.smate’s cousin who used to work for the Tao family. She personally heard the old master of the Tao family mention this. He even said that he wanted to bring the real eldest daughter of the Tao family back as soon as possible.”
“If I wasTao Yue, I would have dug a hole and hid in it. She has been walking around all her life, thinking that she’s the eldest daughter of the Tao family but in the end, not only was she not the eldest daughter, she isn’t even related to the Tao family by blood! Oooo… This is getting interesting.”
Tao Yue was so angry that she wanted to curse at them. She had tried her best to keep the news that she was not the daughter of the Tao family a secret. Why did the news still spread?
“Mom? Big Brother?” Tan Rou came out of the toilet and saw the red banner in the crowd. Then, she saw her mother and her brothers. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Didn’t I tell you not to wear this banner anymore?” It’s embarra.s.sing.”
Mrs. Tao didn’t feel embarra.s.sed at all. Since she had said that she would do this, she had to stick to it. Moreover, she was carrying the flag to support her daughter. What was there to be embarra.s.sed about?
“Xiao Rou, I promised you that I would do it. In the future, when you take the college entrance examination, I will also cheer for you.” Mother Tao was like a childish child. However, this childishness reflected her love for her daughter. In the eyes of parents, children would always be children.
Tan Rou smiled and didn’t stop them.
“Is that the eldest daughter of the Tao family? She’s gorgeous!”
“I think she’s ten times prettier than Tao Yue. The people of the Tao family are really good-looking. Thinking about it, it seems that Tao Yue isn’t that good-looking.”
Tao Yue wasn’t bad looking, but she wasn’t as good-looking as the Tao family.
“Ms. Tao looks so much like her brother. Tao Yue even knew her name but why was it that she pretended not to know her own cousin?”
“I think she said she didn’t recognize Ms Tan on purpose. After all, that’s the real eldest daughter of the Tao family, and Tao Yue is just an adopted daughter.”
If Tao Yue could hit them right now, she would definitely tear the mouths of those people who were gossiping so that they could no longer speak. So what if she wasn’t their biological daughter? So what if she was adopted. She was the eldest daughter of the Tao family. This would not change. In any case, everyone in the Capital only recognized her as the eldest daughter of the Tao family..
