“I’ll listen to the old madam’s arrangements. Now that the old madam has asked me to take care of the young miss, I’ll listen to the young miss’s instructions.” Aunt Zhou expressed her stance. “If Second Miss feels that there’s no one to take care of Old Madam, you can volunteer to take care of Old Madam for a few days. After all, it’s very normal for a granddaughter to take care of her own Grandma.”
Tao Yue subconsciously rejected this suggestion. “It’s better not to. I already have too much on my plate. 1 usually have cla.s.ses and other activities on Sat.u.r.day and Sunday. I don’t think I have time to take care of Grandma. Besides, I’m clumsy. I definitely won’t be able to take care of Grandma like Auntie Zhou.”
She did not want to take care of the old lady because she knew that Grandma Tao had always had the problem of waking up at night. She would wake up seven or eight times a night. Would she still be able to sleep?
Aunt Zhou compared Tan Rou and Tao Yue in her heart. When Tan Rou found out that her grandmother was not in good health, she took care of her grandma, prescribed medicine, and took care of her personally. Tan Rou even gave her a ma.s.sage. Tao Yue’s first reaction was to ask someone else to take care of her grandma.
As expected, a biological granddaughter and a foster granddaughter were different. Bloodline was really a magical thing.
Aunt Zhou didn’t like Tao Yue. She didn’t like Tao Yue since she was very young. Not only was Tao Yue disobedient when she was young, but she was also a very arrogant person. She felt that everyone had to give in to her as the eldest daughter of the Tao family.
Moreover, Tao Yue was very disrespectful to the servants. She even asked the servants to lie down so that she could ride on them like a horse. Aunt Zhou stopped her when she saw it. After that, Tao Yue made a fuss. In the end, it went to Grandma Tao. When Grandma Tao found out, she was very angry and sent Tao Yue to the other courtyard.
Tao Yue learned to hide herself after she grew up. She seemed to have forgotten what she had said and done when she was young. Now, she had packaged herself into a perfect rich family’s daughter. She was very good at talking. However, when there was no one around, she would still behave arrogantly and crudely.
Some things are inherent in one’s genes. No matter how much one educated them, they could not change them.
Aunt Zhou didn’t really want Tao Yue to take care of Grandma Tao. Even if Tao Yue wanted to go, she wouldn’t allow Tao Yue to go. Who knew what a thoughtful girl like Tao Yue would do to Grandma Tao?
“Since Second Miss can’t do it, then there’s no need to say it in the future.” Aunt Zhou said, “I’ve already sent someone to take care of Old Madam. Second, Miss, you don’t have to worry.”
Tao Yue smiled. “In that case, I’m relieved.”
“Aunt Zhou has been taking care of Grandma for many years. She’s the most familiar with Grandma’s daily life. I’m afraid that Grandma won’t be used to it if someone else takes care of her. Isn’t that right?”
However, Tan Rou ignored her. Tao Yue has been going on and on for a very long time, but none of them were doing anything about it.
“Miss, please come this way.” Aunt Zhou led Tan Rou to the largest building in the manor. “The main building has three floors. The first floor has a meeting room, study room, lounge, and so on. The second floor has three guest rooms, and the third floor is where your bedroom is. There’s a movie room and a small kitchen next to it. If Miss wants to watch a movie or eat, you can arrange it anytime.”
Tan Rou roughly observed the living room. All the furniture was new and made of solid wood. It gave off a faint wooden fragrance. Precious orchids were placed everywhere in the room, exuding a n.o.ble and elegant aura.
It was Tao Yue’s first time seeing the renovated building. The white walls, wooden floors, fragrant furniture, and rare orchids. All of this was meticulously prepared by the Tao family for Tan Rou.
When Tan Rou and the others returned, it was already dark. After eating and chatting for a while, it was already nine o’clock in the evening.
“Do you still want to take a look inside?” Tan Rou looked at Tao Yue and said, “Thank you for sending me here today.”
Tao Yue was confused. “Aren’t you going to let me in to take a look?”
Tan Rou said, “We’ve been taking exams for the whole day. I’m sure you’re tired as well. Why don’t we go back and rest first? We can talk about it tomorrow.”
Tao Yue really wanted to stay here for the night. “Cousin, I still have a lot to tell you…”
“Second Miss, you should go back and rest first.” Aunt Zhou interrupted Tao Yue. “The Yuanxi Manor is still quite a distance from where you live. It’s not easy to walk at night.. Second Miss, you should go back early!”
