“Grandma, 1 didn’t touch my sister’s things. Don’t be angry,” Tao Yue said timidly, “1’11 get them to leave now.”
Grandma Tao sat on the sofa. “Are you guys leaving so easily?” Before Tao Yue could answer, she continued, “Xiao Zhou, search around so they won’t steal the jewelry. Also, tell the security guards that such shady people are not allowed to enter our house in the future!”
Tao Yue felt that Grandma Tao was slapping her in the face. When Grandma Tao said that Meng Xiao and the others were no good, she said she was no good. She was the number one socialite in the Capital. How could she endure such humiliation?
Meng Xiao was even angrier than Tao Yue. “d.a.m.n old hag,” she scolded. “Who are you calling indecent?”
When Tan Rou heard Meng Xiao scolding Grandma Tao, she immediately grabbed the red-heart dragon fruit on the coffee table. After pinching it open, she threw it at Meng Xiao’s mouth. The purple-red juice and fruit slid down Meng Xiao’s face onto her white coat, adding a few colors to her coat.
Meng Xiao was stunned. “You… You ruined my favorite coat! Pay me back!”
This was Meng Xiao’s most expensive piece of clothing. It was the first time she wore it to show off, but she did not expect Tan Rou to ruin it.
Tan Rou took out her phone. “How much is it? I’ll pay for it.”
However, Grandma Tao stopped Tan Rou. “Well, since we’re at this point, let’s clarify the numbers.”
She pointed at Meng Xiao’s jewelry and said, “That one piece of jewelry is worth 890,000. Since you’re wearing it, it’s yours now. 1 won’t ask you to pay a high price. Let’s make it 890,000 yuan.”
Meng Xiao’s mouth opened wide and turned into an ‘O’ shape. “890,000!”
Her monthly allowance was only tens of thousands of yuan, and she didn’t control her spending. She didn’t have the money to pay for this jewelry.
“Yue Yue, tell Grandma to give this jewelry to me. You have so much jewelry. Can you give me one or two?” Meng Xiao asked Tao Yue shamelessly.
Tao Yue wanted to kick Meng Xiao out. Didn’t she realize that these things belonged to Tan Rou?
“What’s the use of asking her?” Grandma Tao was confused. “These jewelry don’t belong to her.”
Meng Xiao blinked and asked, “Yue Yue, aren’t these yours?”
“Meng Xiao put the things back!” Tao Yue said in a deep voice.
“I don’t want it even if you put it back. I don’t want things that others have worn before.” Tan Rou said.
Grandma Tao also agreed. “Indeed, the things that others have worn are not worthy of you. In that case, whoever touches these things can take them away. However, you have to compensate according to the original price.”
“These are yours?” Meng Xiao finally reacted. “So this manor is yours too?”
“If I had known that you would come in, I would have hung a sign on the gate of the manor.” Tan Rou said, “It says that outsiders are not allowed to enter.”
Grandma Tao felt that this method was feasible. “Xiao Zhou, go and make a sign immediately. Write it like what the young Miss said.”
Meng Xiao, who was labeled as an outsider, was very angry. She glared at Tao Yue. “Yue Yue, didn’t you say that this is your manor? Why?”
The girl who came with Meng Xiao said angrily, “Meng Xiao, can’t you see clearly? Tao Yue is treating us like fools. She deliberately brought us here to take Tan Ron’s things and anger Tan Rou, but nothing happened to her.” “Tao Yue, are you using me?” Meng Xiao asked Tao Yue.
Tan Rou sneered. “Wow, you finally came to your senses. How brainless can you be?”
“You’re the stupid one!” Meng Xiao’s joy and anger were completely expressed on his face.
Tan Rou didn’t argue with her. “Meng Xiao, calculate what you have on you. Transfer or cash?”
The other two girls didn’t take much, just a necklace and two bracelets, but these things were worth millions. Although they had some money at home, they were not people who could take out hundreds of millions of pocket money at once.
“Miss Tao, I’m really sorry! 1 really didn’t know this was yours. Tao Yue told me to take it, so 1 took it.” The girl with a better temper apologized. “If you want me to pay for it, can you give me some time to do so?”
Another girl with a bad temper also said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have touched your things. I’ll pay for it too, but I can’t take out that much money now..”
