Chapter 1091:1091 Entanglement
After that, Tan Ron rarely came to the conference venue. Unless Zhuang Liu came, she would never step into the venue. She left the rest to Hang Wei and returned to school to continue her classes.
However, someone came to look for her instead of going to the exchange meeting. Ai De couldn’t meet Tan Rou at the social gathering, so he ran to the company to look for her. Tan Rou would go to the company every day, but in the end, she was stopped by him.
On this day, Tan Rou came to the company with her newly developed robot design blueprint. Before she went upstairs, she heard the receptionist say to her, “Boss, that foreigner is waiting for you in the living room. He has been here four or five times. He said that he was recommended by Mayor Guo. We couldn’t let him stand outside waiting for you, so we let him in.”
“What did that person look like?” Tan Rou asked.
“He’s tall and big. He has blonde hair and green eyes. He looks to be in his thirties.”
Tan Rou immediately realized who this person was. “Okay, I got it.”
It was Ed who had come. He wanted to see Tan Rou again, but Tan Ron’s identity was too mysterious. Other than knowing that she was the boss behind TR, he didn’t know anything else. He had no choice but to go to TR to look for Tan Rou. However, Tan Rou was not often here. He had come several times but had not seen her.
Today, Ed used Mayor Guo’s identity to threaten the receptionist to let her in. The receptionist was timid and thought that he was sent by Mayor Guo to discuss cooperation, so she asked Ed to wait for Tan Rou in the living room.
When Tan Rou entered the room, Ed was belittling the coffee served by TR.
“Your coffee beans are not good, and the roasting is not mature enough. This kind of coffee is too bad. Next time, I’ll introduce you to the coffee beans used by our company. It’ll be many times better than this kind of coffee beans.”
The assistant in charge of entertaining him wanted to roll his eyes. This foreign man had started to pick on their company’s faults as soon as he entered the door. One moment, he complained that the chair was uncomfortable, and the next moment, he said that the quality of the coffee beans was not good. Those who did not know better would think that they were here to entertain.
“There’s no need for Mr. Smith to introduce us to coffee beans. The people in our company don’t drink coffee. If we have the conditions, we prefer to drink green tea from our country.”
When Ed saw Tan Rou, he immediately put the matter of the coffee beans aside.
” Miss Tan Rou, I’m so glad to see you again!”
His attitude changed so quickly that Tan Rou did not react in time. She was wondering if this Ed was someone else in disguise.
“Mr. Smith, why do you keep coming to our company? If you want to talk about cooperation, then you should look for Hang Wei.” Tan Rou asked directly. ” What’s the meaning of blocking our company’s entrance every day?”
Ed smiled. “Miss Tan Rou, please don’t be angry. I was wrong last time. I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me.”
Tan Rou didn’t want to dwell on what happened last time, so she said, “Okay, I accept your apology. If you have nothing else to say, I’ll take my leave first.”
Seeing that Tan Rou was about to leave, Ed immediately stopped her. “Miss Tan Rou, I have something very important to say today.”
Tan Rou had already thought it through. If Ed brought up the matter of cooperation, she would reject him mercilessly. An arrogant and rude person like Ed was not worthy of working with TR.
To her surprise, Ed did not mention anything about the collaboration at all. He took out a velvet box out of nowhere and placed a gemstone brooch inside. “This is an apology gift. I hope Miss Tan Rou can accept this gift.”
Tan Rou was about to leave when she saw the gemstone brooch. “Mr. Smith, what do you mean?”
Ed’s face was filled with a greedy smile. “Beautiful lady, I would like to invite you to dinner. May I have the honor?”
“I’m sorry,” Tan Rou rejected. “I’m having dinner with my fiance tonight.”
Ed was stunned. “You have a fiance?”
However, he felt that this did not affect him and Tan Rou going out for a meal. “Miss Tan Rou, it’s just a meal to make friends. I don’t think your fiance will mind.”
Chapter 1092:1092 Three Person Dinner
Tan Ron was about to laugh to death at this foreigner. How would he know whether Zhuang Liu cared or not? If Zhuang Liu knew that she went out for dinner with Ed tonight, he would be furious.
She hadn’t decided to have dinner with Zhuang Liu tonight. After being disturbed by Ed, Tan Rou wanted to go and look for Zhuang Liu.
Tan Rou glanced at Ed. The emotions in his eyes were hard for her to ignore. It was not the love in her and Zhuang Liu’s eyes, but desire.
That made sense. Ed already had a wife and child overseas. Even if he wanted to pursue Tan Rou, she could only be his lover. However, Ed overestimated himself. Did he think that he was rich and capable and that all women would revolve around him? She had to teach this narcissistic foreign man a lesson.
“But I’ve already made an appointment to have dinner with my fiance. If I go with you, what will happen to my fiance?” Tan Rou pretended to be in a difficult position.
Ed frowned as he pondered. Suddenly, he thought of a compromise. “Why don’t you bring your fiance along?”
Tan Rou was thinking about this. However, she couldn’t appear too anxious. Thus, she said, “That wouldn’t be a good idea.”
Ed patted his chest and said, “Call your fiance. I’ll help you. He’ll agree.”
A sly smile flashed across Tan Ron’s eyes, but she put on an embarrassed expression. “Alright then.”
She first sent a message to Zhuang Liu and told him what had happened that day and the last time. Then, she called Zhuang Liu.
Zhuang Liu had already heard the news from Tan Rou, so he had made preparations in advance. When Tan Rou called, he hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
At seven o’clock in the evening, Tan Rou left the company to look for Zhuang Liu. The two of them were going to meet up together. Ed had already gone to the restaurant that he had booked beforehand. This was Tan Ron’s request. She said that she hoped to have a pleasant dinner.
Ed was very happy. He spent the entire afternoon preparing for the dinner party. His mood was not affected at all because the three of them were eating together.
Zhuang Liu was waiting for Tan Rou at the entrance of the company. He was not wearing a suit that he often wore, but a very casual long trench coat with a cashmere sweater inside. He looked like a male university student. To make him look more like a student, Tan Rou even prepared a pair of glasses for her. Zhuang Liu’s temperament immediately changed after wearing the glasses. He did not look like a company’s CEO, but like a young man who had not yet entered society.
“Do we have to dress like this?” Zhuang Liu said helplessly, “You want me to pretend to be a gigolo that you keep? If others find out about this, I won’t be able to survive in the Capital anymore.”
Tan Rou kissed him on the cheek and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Don’t dwell on this. We haven’t played games together for a long time. Let’s play some role-playing today.”
Zhuang Liu smiled and shook his head. In the end, he decided to act according to Tan Ron’s script.
Ed was very familiar with the Capital. The restaurant he arranged was very expensive, and a meal could cost hundreds of thousands. However, Ed was not short of money.
It was Tan Rou’s first time at this restaurant. She didn’t like the interior decoration. It was too luxurious and didn’t look good.
Zhuang Liu was not in the mood to observe the decorations in the shop. As he walked, he paid attention to the people around him, afraid that he would be recognized by others.
Ed came out to welcome them. After seeing Zhuang Liu, he felt that this man looked familiar for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to not remember.
Zhuang Liu naturally knew Ed. In order not to let the other party recognize him, he sat directly in the corner after entering the door and did not make eye contact with Eddy.
Tan Rou sat beside Zhuang Liu and smiled. “Mr. Smith, can we start eating?”
Ed’s gaze was attracted by Tan Rou, so he stopped sizing up Zhuang Liu. When he heard Tan Rou say that she wanted to eat, he immediately called the waiter over to order.
The dishes were served quickly. Tan Rou poured a glass of alcohol for Ed and handed it to him. “Mr. Smith, let me propose a toast to you.”
She was not a good drinker, so she only poured herself a glass of fruit wine with a low alcohol content.
Zhuang Liu had been observing Tan Rou’s actions. When he saw Tan Rou pour wine for Ed, he felt a little uncomfortable. However, from the corner of his eye, he saw Tan Rou secretly add something to the wine when he wasn’t looking.
Chapter 1093:1093 Making a fool of oneself
Zhuang Liu was stunned at first, but then he immediately realized what Tan Rou wanted to do. She wanted to teach Ed a lesson.
Ed didn’t notice that something had been added to the wine, so he finished it happily. Then Tan Rou continued to pour him wine until he was drunk.
Tan Rou threw down her wine glass. She lifted Ed by the shoulder and put him aside. Then she said to Zhuang Liu, “Alt Liu, come and eat.”
Zhuang Liu sat down and asked curiously, “What did you feed him?”
Tan Rou blinked. “Something interesting.”
“What interesting things?” Zhuang Liu was very interested. “It shouldn’t be poisonous, right?”
“I’m not stupid. Why would I feed him poison? There are surveillance cameras recording our entry and exit here. If he is poisoned to death tomorrow, both of us will be first suspects.”
“Yes, as long as it’s not poisonous,” Zhuang Liu said.
After dinner, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu left the restaurant. Before they left, they told the waiter that the person inside would pay. The waiter obviously knew Ed, so he let Tan Rou and the others leave.
However, Ed was drunk, so they couldn’t make him pay the bill now. They could only arrange a room for Ed to sleep first and pay the bill when he woke up.
Ed woke up very quickly. His face was red, and it was obvious that he was drunk.
“Mr. Smith, you’re awake!” The waitress was pleasantly surprised. She immediately handed the bill to Eddy. “This is your bill for tonight.”
Who knew that Ed would suddenly jump up and dance to the waiter. As he danced, he sang and even took off all the clothes he was wearing.
The waitress was so scared that her face turned pale. She quickly called the manager over. When the manager arrived, Ed was still dancing. He was very energetic. Not only did he dance by himself, but he also dragged others to dance with him.
The people in the restaurant did not dare to attack Ed, so they could only accompany him. After a while, Ed probably felt that these people were not interested in dancing, so he took advantage of the time when the other party was discussing countermeasures to slip out.
The winter in the Capital was quite cold, but Ed didn’t feel cold at all. He wore a thin shirt and quickly spun and jumped on the road. He was very happy.
There were a lot of people on the road. When they saw Ed dancing and singing by the roadside, they thought that he was playing performance art and ran over to take a video.
Ed quickly became a trending topic. As he was having dinner with Tan Rou and the others today, he didn’t bring his assistant over, so even if he danced on the road, no one would stop him.
In the end, Ed was taken away by the police because he was too excited from dancing and took off his clothes on the road. The passersby thought he was a pervert and called the police to arrest him.
Zhuang Liu saw the video of Ed’s arrest the next morning. Although the background was at night, he could still see a tall man dancing on the street in his underpants before being arrested by the police.
Xiao Mo was standing next to Zhuang Liu. He heard Zhuang Liu’s video and asked curiously, “Master, are you watching Ed Smith’s video too?”
Zhuang Liu replied. “Rourou sent it to me. She said that this video is very interesting.”
Xiao Mo smiled. “I don’t know if it’s interesting or not. I only know that Ed’s image in our country has been completely ruined this time.”
Zhuang Liu smiled. “It is ruined. Ed Smith isn’t a good person anyway.”
“Indeed,” Xiao Mo agreed. “This person is too arrogant. It’s good to learn a lesson.”
“How do you know that he was taught a lesson by someone else?” Zhuang Liu asked doubtfully.
“Because a lot of people don’t like him. I don’t know which hero did it. If I knew who tricked Ed, I would definitely give him a silk banner.”
Zhuang Liu smiled and said nothing.
Shang Jin sent the video to Tan Rou early in the morning. “Rourou, watch the video. I’m dying of laughter!”
Tan Rou had already watched the video. Not only had she watched it, but she had also personally participated in the production of the video.
Last night, she had put something in Ed’s wine. It was a pill that would make people dance uncontrollably. She had made this little thing to keep it for prank purposes, but she did not expect to use it on Ed first.
Ed woke up in the police station. After learning that he was stripping on the street, he was so angry and embarrassed that he bought a plane ticket to return to his country that day and never came back again.
Chapter 1094:1094 World of Ice and Snow
Another month passed without her realizing it. Tan Rou was on her winter vacation. She would go on a trip during the holidays. Because she was busy, she did not choose to go abroad. She wanted to travel around the country.
However, she and Zhuang Liu had not decided where to go yet.
“Xiao Rou, are you guys going out to play?” Tian Tian brought some snacks over to Tan Rou. “Ah Zhi and I are planning to go to the North to play. Do you guys want to come along?”
“North?” Tan Rou didn’t like cold places. “It’s winter now. The further North we go, the colder it gets. Are you sure you want to go there?”
Tian Tian, on the other hand, looked expectant. “Eating hotpot in the summer and drinking ice water in the winter. The main thing is reverse psychology.”
Tan Rou shook her head slightly. “Aren’t you afraid of the cold?”
Tian Tian said, “I like snow, but the northernmost place I’ve been to is the Capital. However, it doesn’t snow every year. It didn’t snow this year. I want to see the snow, so I can only go further North.”
Tan Rou remembered the snow that Zhuang Liu had prepared for her back then. It was indeed very beautiful. If possible, she wanted to see the world of snow with Zhuang Liu again.
“The scenery would indeed be very beautiful.” Tan Rou said.
Tian Tian sent a few more photos to Tan Rou. “Look, this is what it looks like in the north. There’s thick snow everywhere, and people are living in houses made of ice and snow.”
Tan Rou was a little tempted. “Then I’ll think about it.”
Tian Tian hugged Tan Ron’s arm. “Rourou, don’t think about it anymore. Let’s go together!”
Tan Rou wasn’t a pretentious person. Since she wanted to play in the snow, she didn’t have to hesitate. “Okay, I’ll go and tell Ah Liu now.”
The school was on holiday, but the company was not on holiday. There were many people in the Tao family. Even without Tao Zhi, Father Tao and Second Uncle Tao could still take over the company’s work, so Tao Zhi didn’t have to worry about his work being left vacant. However, Zhuang Liu had a lot of work to do. He was the only one in the Zhuang family who could take on the responsibility. He had no one else to replace him.
When Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu said that they were going on a trip to the north, Zhuang Liu had gathered all his work for a week. He then took an early break so that his employees could go home early for the New Year.
As for Xiao Mo, he had gone on a trip with his secretary, Bai Yin. Although it was said that they were going on a trip together, it was an excuse that they didn’t dare to confess their feelings for each other.
Zhuang Liu gave Xiao Mo a bonus. On the surface, it was to reward him for solving the company’s internal problems, but in fact, he wanted Xiao Mo to get his girlfriend as soon as possible.
Xiao Mo and Bai Yin did not go north. Bai Yin had grown up in the mainland and had joined the Zhuang Corporation after graduation. She had no time to travel. She had never seen the ocean before, so this time, the two of them went to the South to see the ocean.
Considering the cold weather in the north, Tan Rou and the others did not drive there. Instead, they chose to take the high-speed rail. They heard that if they took the high-speed rail, they could enjoy the feeling of flying on the snow.
It was actually a high-speed rail that passed through the snow. It looked like it was flying on the snow.
It was Zhuang Liu’s first time sitting in the first-class cabin of the high-speed rail. As the third young master of the Zhuang family, he either took a car or a plane when he went out. At that time, his legs were injured and he couldn’t move. He wouldn’t have taken the high-speed rail. Later on, his legs had recovered. He could drive to nearby places, but he could take a plane to faraway places. Naturally, he did not have the chance to take the high-speed rail.
“How do you feel?” After finding out that it was Zhuang Liu’s first time taking the high-speed rail, Tan Rou wanted to know what he was thinking. “Do you think that the high-speed rail is not as comfortable as a private jet?”
To be honest, the high-speed rail was not as comfortable as a private plane. There was food, drinks, and a place to sleep on a private plane. However, the first-class cabin of the high-speed rail only had so much space, and he was sitting with someone else, which made Zhuang Liu feel uncomfortable.
“It’s alright.” Zhuang Liu didn’t want Tan Rou to notice his discomfort. “It’s not bad to take the high-speed rail once in a while and experience the variety of transportation in the country.”
Tan Rou chuckled. “Don’t be picky. We’ll take the plane back.”
As the two of them were talking, Tian Tian suddenly screamed from behind, “Look, it’s snowing!!!!”
The train passed through a vast expanse of white plains. At this moment, there was nothing but snow in the outside world.
Chapter 1095:1095 Snow House
Tan Ron also looked out of the window. The snow had covered the ground, not revealing a single crack.
“So beautiful!” Tan Rou couldn’t help but exclaim.
Zhuang Liu turned her head around. “Don’t stare at the snow for too long. It’s easy to cause snow blindness.”
Tan Rou immediately took out the goggles that they had prepared. “This way, we won’t have to worry about snow blindness.”
Tian Tian also put on her goggles at Tan Ron’s reminder. She was much more excited than Tan Rou, as if she had never seen snow in her life.
Tao Zhi patted Tian Tian’s head lovingly. Then, he reminded her softly, “There are other passengers resting in the carriage. Let’s be quiet, okay?”
Tian Tian’s scream had woken up a few passengers. Although they looked angry, they did not flare up in the end, as if they did not want to cause trouble.
Tian Tian had already realized that she had done something wrong just now. However, it was her first time seeing snow and she was too excited. “Yes, yes, I’ll be quiet.”
The train quickly traveled through the world of ice and snow and soon arrived at the terminal station. However, this was not the destination of Tan Rou and the others. They were heading north, but the high-speed rail could not reach them. They could only take a bus there.
The four of them rented a car that could travel in the snow. They were only here for a few days, so there was no need to buy another car. They bought the things they needed in the city, then drove their car into the forest.
This area was a tourist attraction and also a resort. Small wooden houses were located in the forest, giving the place a primitive feel.
Tan Rou and the others had booked a wooden house with two floors and three rooms. The upper two rooms were bedrooms, and the lower one was the living room. The kitchen and the living room were together, and the place to cook was the hanging stove in the middle of the living room. It could be used to cook and warm up. There was a small washroom on the far right side of the living room. Although they could try to keep everything simple, they still needed to have enough space to wash up.
It was the first time Tian Tian had seen such a room, and it was also the first time she had seen a place where she could warm herself up. Therefore, the moment she entered the door, she crawled to the side of the fire, wanting to warm herself up. In the corner of the living room, there was a pile of dry firewood, which should have been prepared by the owner of the wooden house.
She picked a few thick pieces of firewood and wanted to light them up. However, after looking at them for a long time, she did not know what to use to light them up. Could she use a lighter to burn them?
Tao Zhi could tell that she was in a dilemma, so he squatted down and taught her how to light the firewood.
Zhuang Liu was also quite interested, so he simply squatted over. Unfortunately, Tao Zhi was not good at lighting firewood. He only blackened the firewood a little and did not light it for a long time.
“Haven’t you lit the firewood yet?” Tan Rou squatted down and asked.
“I’m more suited to using a gas stove,” Tao Zhi said, ashamed.
Tian Tian really wanted to warm herself by the fire. “If we used a gas stove to light the fire, it would have been lit long ago.”
Tan Rou smiled. “We chose this cottage to experience life. If you move the gas stove here, you might as well go home and warm yourself up.”
“That’s what you say, but…” Tian Tian looked at the firewood. “I heard from my grandma that the sweet potatoes roasted with firewood taste better. We bought so many sweet potatoes, we can’t possibly bring them back, right?”
Tan Rou thought for a moment and took the firewood and lighter from her brother. Then, she found a large ball of soft grass and laid it at the bottom. Finally, she lit the grass.
The grass slowly burned, and the firewood was lit up bit by bit. At first, it was just a small spark, but it soon turned into a ball of fire.
Tian Tian’s eyes were lit up by the flames. She couldn’t help but take out her phone to take a photo. “What a beautiful color.”
After warming up by the fire for a while, they went to tidy up their rooms. They would be staying here for the night. He did not know what material was used in the middle of this wooden house, but he immediately felt warmer when he walked into the room. After lighting the firewood, the house became even warmer.
The room upstairs was not as warm as the one downstairs, but it did not affect them. There was a heater installed upstairs. If they were cold at night, they could turn on the heater. They were on vacation, not out in the wilderness. There was no need to choose a harsh environment. A house with heating and hot water was very suitable for tourists.
Chapter 1096:1096 Skiing
In the evening, the four of them sat around the fire to warm themselves. There was a pot hanging on the fire with thick meat soup inside. Sweet potatoes were roasted in the fire at the bottom of the pot. They heard from the locals that the sweet potatoes here were very sweet, so they bought a lot of sweet potatoes.
Tian Tian held a pair of fire pliers and poked the sweet potatoes from the fire from time to time to see if they were cooked. The flames were too fierce. The skin of the sweet potato had been burned into charcoal, but the meat of the sweet potato was not cooked yet.
The signal inside the wooden house was not very good, but they were not affected. They sat together, talked, enjoyed their meal, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
As for what to do after returning to the room, that was up to him.
However, the two couples did not do anything. They lay down and went to sleep. They had arranged a ski event the next day, so they had to rest well tonight. Otherwise, they would not have the energy to go skiing tomorrow.
The first ray of morning sunlight shone into Tan Ron’s room, and the room slowly lit up.
“What time is it?” Tan Ron asked as she blocked the sunlight.
“It’s already eight o’clock,” Zhuang Liu said as he turned to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table.
If it was at this time of the day, Tan Rou would have woken up and gone for a morning run. However, they had been running around the entire day yesterday and were very tired, so they slept until eight o’clock.
Although it was already eight o’clock, it didn’t seem to be that lively outside. The surroundings were quiet, as if everyone was asleep.
“Do we have a ski event today? Do you want to get up now?” Tan Rou asked with her eyes closed.
Zhuang Liu had a smile on his face. He pulled Tan Rou into bed. “No, the sun hasn’t risen yet. We can sleep a little longer. Moreover, there’s not a single sound outside. This means that they haven’t gotten up either. We’ll wait for them to call us before getting up.”
Although Tan Rou was a very self-disciplined person, it was not bad to slack off once in a while. She stretched lazily, wrapped her arms around Zhuang Liu’s waist, and lay comfortably in Zhuang Liu’s arms. “Then let’s sleep for a while more.”
However, Tao Zhi and the others thought the same. They were also waiting for Tan Rou and the others to wake up.
In the winter, nothing was more effective than a warm bed to wear down one’s will. They fell asleep at ten o’clock. If they weren’t hungry and wanted to get up to eat, they would probably sleep until afternoon.
Tan Rou yawned and smiled at Tian Tian. “Good morning, Tian Tian.”
Tian Tian, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, immediately pounced on her. “Rourou, let’s go ski together!”
Tan Rou was a little confused. “Aren’t you going with Big Brother?”
“I don’t knowhow to ski,”Tian Tian said embarrassedly.
Tan Rou smiled and patted Tian Tian’s head. “If you don’t know how to, you can ask Big Brother to teach you. There will be a coach beside you to teach you. You don’t have to worry about not being able to learn well.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t knowhow to ski. I can bring you along to play,” Tao Zhi said.
“Rourou, do you know how to ski?” Zhuang Liu suddenly asked.
He and Tao Zhi had learned how to ski before. When they were in school in the capital, their school held outdoor activities every month, including skiing. However, since his legs were injured, he had never skied again. He did not know if he could adapt to them now.
Tan Rou shookher head. “I’ve never learned howto ski, but I can learn on the spot.”
When she was four years old, she was brought into the laboratory. Although the laboratory taught a lot of things, 90% of the content was related to survival. The people in the laboratory would never let them learn entertainment skills like snowboarding.
When she went back, the Tan family would not let her learn to ski. She had not even seen snow many times, let alone ski.
It was useless to say more. She would only be able to ski in ski resorts. Some people were very talented and could ski as soon as they got on the snowboard, while others were not born to ski. Even if they trained every day, they might not be able to learn.
Tan Rou and the others changed into skis. From the beginning, they skated on the flat snow and did not dare to walk on the slope. Tao Zhi and Zhuang Liu had practiced before. Their muscle memory was still there, so they quickly became familiar with snowboarding and could circle the flat ski resort several times.
Tan Rou was also very talented. She could ski easier and had not fallen once throughout.
Chapter 1097:1097 Troubled
Tian Tian’s athletic talent was not good. Although she liked to ski, it was obvious that she did not like it.
“Aiyaya!” Tian Tian swayed on the snowboard once again. Just as she was about to fall, Tao Zhi immediately hugged her and helped her to the side to rest.
Tian Tian was very annoyed. She had been learning for almost an hour, but the snowboard under her feet still refused to listen. As soon as she stood on it, the snowboard began to torture her. The two snowboards seemed to have their own ideas. One went left and the other went right, but they just couldn’t get in the middle.
“Did Tiantian hurt herself?” Tan Rou asked as she walked over. She had seen Tian Tian fall a few times just now. Although the clothes she was wearing were thicker, it would still hurt if she fell for a long time.
Tian Tian looked at Tan Rou sadly and shook her head. “My body didn’t fall, but my heart is very hurt. All of you can ski, but I’m the only one who fell. I’m an idiot with discordant limbs.”
“Don’t say that. You’re just not as coordinated. Don’t worry. “Tan Rou comforted her.
Tian Tian became even sadder. “I can’t do anything well!”
Zhuang Liu skated over. He saw Tian Tian crying and suggested, “We’ve skated for a long time too. I think we’re tired. Why don’t we go to the side to rest for a while and eat something to replenish our strength?”
Tan Rou took the opportunity to say, “Tiantian must be hungry. That’s why she doesn’t have the energy to ski now. Let’s go get something to eat. I’ll teach you how to ski when we get back.”
Tian Tian liked Tan Rou teaching her very much. Tan Ron’s voice was gentle and she made everything look simple. If Tan Rou were to teach her, she would be able to learn the knowledge that originally took a month in two weeks.
“Alright, alright.” Tian Tian was very happy. She patted her butt and got up. “Then let’s go eat first. We’ll come back to ski after we’re full.”
“Sigh, my wife doesn’t like me. She only likes my sister,” Tao Zhi said sourly.
Tian Tian looked at Tan Rou embarrassedly. “I just like Rourou teaching me.”
Tan Rou glared at her brother. “Are you jealous of my relationship with Sister- in-law?”
She tookTian Tian’s arm and led her to the resting area. “Ignore them. Let’s go eat first.”
Zhuang Liu was really implicated by Tao Zhi. Otherwise, he would be the one walking hand in hand with Tan Rou.
“Sigh, if you hadn’t said that, the two of us would be pulling our wives to ski now.” Zhuang Liu said helplessly.
Tao Zhi pushed him. “It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. Let’s hurry over.”
The resting area was indoors, and there were many delicacies from all over the world. There were also hot drinks that could dispel the cold outside.
There were quite a lot of people inside. Tao Zhi and Zhuang Liu searched for a while before they found Tan Rou and the others. When they found them, they were confronting a few people.
“Apologize!” Tian Tian widened her eyes and said angrily, “Hurry up and apologize to us!”
The attitude of the young men opposite them was very bad. A man with dyed red hair made indecent gestures at Tan Rou and the others. He shouted, “Little girl, why are you so angry? We just accidentally touched you. There’s no need to be so angry, right?”
Tian Tian didn’t want to listen to his excuses. “Did you accidentally touch me? You hit me on purpose!”
Tian Tian and Tan Rou were originally queuing up separately to buy things. They did not expect these people to come and cause trouble. Not only did they want to snatch Tian Tian’s position, but they also pushed her out.
After Tan Rou heard the commotion, she also walked over. When she found out that these people were deliberately causing trouble for Tian Tian, she asked them to apologize.
The attitude of those people was very bad. Seeing that Tian Tian and Tan Rou were just two young girls, they did not take their words to heart at all. Not only did they not apologize, but they even gave Tan Rou and the others the middle finger.
“Beauty, just the two of you out to play? Why don’t you girls join us? We can protect you,” said a man with ill intentions.
“Who needs your protection?! You guys look like hooligans. You’re not good people!”
Tan Rou laughed to herself. Tian Tian must have spent too much time with Li Li to have a temper like hers. If it was the Tian Tian of the past, she would probably only dare to glare at them. She would not call them hooligans.
Chapter 1098:1098 Teach Him a lesson
When the red-haired man heard Tian Tian call him a hooligan, his expression instantly turned ugly. When the people around him heard Tian Tian’s words, they all laughed at the red-haired man for being too weak. He was actually scolded by a little girl.
The red-haired man felt that he could not keep his face, so he walked up to Tian Tian aggressively. “Damn it, b*tch! Who are you calling a hooligan? Do you really think I wouldn’t hit women?”
Tian Tian was afraid for a moment, but it was only for that moment.” I think you’re the one looking for a beating.” She raised her fist in a defensive posture.
The red-haired man’s friends were even more rowdy. They all asked the red- haired man to teach the little girl in front of him a lesson.
“What are you doing?!” Tao Zhi and Zhuang Liu rushed over. The two of them spoke at the same time, wanting to intimidate these people.
The red-haired man was a little scared when he saw two men coming over. “Nothing. I haven’t done anything yet.”
Tao Zhi pulled Tian Tian’s hand and asked with concern, “Tian Tian, are you okay? Did they hurt you?”
Tian Tian shook her head gently. “No.”
Tao Zhi shielded Tian Tian behind him. He looked at the few people and said in a cold tone, “You trying to get yourself killed?”
The redhead was a little scared at first, but he was very proud of himself. When he heard the man in front of him scold him, he became angry. “What the f*ck are you talking about? Show me some respect!”
“Do punks like you still know how to respect others?” Tao Zhi sneered.
“Who are you calling a hooligan?” The red-haired man was about to rush up and hit Tao Zhi, but Tao Zhi was not afraid. He stood there steadily, planning to find an opportunity to beat this uneducated red-haired boy down.
“Let me do it!” Tian Tian was very excited. She rushed in front of the man and shouted, “Let’s resolve the conflict between us ourselves!”
Tao Zhi wanted to stop her, but he was stopped by Tan Rou. Tan Rou said, “Let Tiantian do it. She’s been learning fighting techniques for so long. It’s time for her to fight. Plus, this man might not be able to defeat Tiantian.”
Tao Zhi was still a little worried, but he didn’t stop Tian Tian. He stood very close to Tian Tian. Once Tian Tian was in a disadvantageous position, he would quickly pull her back and take her place.
Seeing that they were about to fight, the waiter hurriedly came over to stop them. “Dear guests, the space here is too small. It’s not suitable for fighting. We’re all here to have fun. Don’t ruin your mood because of a small matter. If you would like, let’s buy you a few drinks so that you could talk it out.”
“I think what you said makes sense,” said Tian Tian after some thought.
The waiter heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s right. Everyone must get along peacefully. Please don’t fight.”
However, that was not what Tian Tian meant. She added, “The space here is too small. Let’s fight outside.”
The red-haired man moved his wrists a few times and provoked her. “Little girl, I advise you to surrender quickly. Otherwise, you’ll be beaten to tears by me. It’ll be embarrassing.”
Tian Tian narrowed her eyes and smiled. She raised her small fist and said, “You can try.”
Tan Rou whispered a few words into Tian Tian’s ear. Tian Tian nodded after hearing it. “Yes, yes, I understand.”
The red-haired man was getting impatient. “Little girl, what are you discussing? Are we still going to fight?”
Tian Tian’s gaze became very determined. “Just you wait!”
The red-haired man did not think much of it. His attitude was very casual. “Come on.”
Tian Tian seized the opportunity and quickly rushed in front of the red-haired man. Before he could react, she hit an acupuncture point on the man’s body. The man immediately lost his strength and could not even raise his hand.
However, Tian Tian did not let him go. She grabbed the red-haired man’s arm and carried him on her back. Then, she threw him over her shoulder and threw him into the snow. She pulled him out and threw him into the snow again.
Tian Tian only let go of the red-haired man after repeating it three times. She clapped her hands and asked, “Who’s beaten down now?”
The red-haired man was stunned. How could he lose to a little girl?
Chapter 1099:1099 Group Fight
When the red-haired man’s friends saw that he had been thrown into the snow, they all ran over to help him. Some of them went into the snow to pull him up, while others came to find trouble with Tian Tian.
“Damn it, you little girl, you’re quite bold. You dared lay hands on our friend! I think you’re tired of living!” Another man took out a wooden stick from somewhere.
“If you have the ability, don’t run. I’ll teach you a lesson today!”
Tian Tian did not have a weapon in her hand. If she were to face the wooden stick directly, she would be injured. “You’re cheating. I didn’t use a stick, so you can’t use a stick either!”
Tan Rou and Tao Zhi shielded Tian Tian behind them at the same time. “Tian
Tian, don’t reason with them. They’re looking for trouble with us.”
Tian Tian rolled up her sleeves again and shouted, “Don’t be afraid. We can beat them.”
Tan Rou and Tao Zhi looked at each other. They knew that today’s matter would not be resolved easily. Thus, they no longer hesitated and joined the battle.
There were more people on the other side, but they were not professionally trained. They only knew how to swing their weapons around but they didn’t know how to fight.
Compared to them, Tan Rou and the others were much stronger. The other party’s rod did not even land on them. Moreover, under the attacks of Tan Rou and the others, the other party would often hit their people with their sticks. The scene was comical.
Zhuang Liu didn’t join the battle because he knew that his side was stronger. Even without Tao Zhi and Tian Tian, Tan Rou could easily take care of those hooligans. However, it wasn’t because Zhuang Liu trusted Tan Rou and the others that he didn’t want to participate in the battle. He had other things to deal with.
Today’s incident will be posted online. If others found out that the young master and young miss of the Tao family were fighting in the snow, it would harm the Tao family. Therefore, Zhuang Liu had to block the videos and pictures before they were sent out to avoid unnecessary trouble.
When Tan Rou attacked, she would not hit their faces. She would only hit the places on their bodies that would not easily cause internal injuries, such as their arms and thighs.
Tian Tian wasn’t so particular. She closed her eyes and rushed forward. She didn’t even know who her fist landed on.
Many people came over to watch the show and cheered on them.
When Tan Rou heard their voices, she felt that she couldn’t continue beating them up like this, so she called out to Tian Tian and Tao Zhi. “Big Brother, Tian Tian, we’ve already achieved our goal. Don’t beat them up anymore. If they’re seriously injured, we’ll have to pay for their medical expenses. Moreover, this is a public area. If we make a move, it will affect the company’s image.”
They didn’t represent an individual. They were now bound to the company. Their every move was monitored by netizens. If they caused trouble, it would definitely affect the company’s image.
Tao Zhi clicked his tongue and chose to stop. “Don’t let me see you again. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up every time I see you. I guarantee that you won’t even be able to recognize your own mother.”
The hooligans were all covered in wounds, and one or two of their down jackets had been torn. It was unknown if they had been torn apart by Tan Rou or by tree branches.
“We need to call the police!” The red-haired man and his friends had suffered a loss and planned to call the police to arrest them. “Don’t run, the police will be here soon!”
Tan Rou said calmly, “It’s up to you but I have to remind you that there are surveillance cameras inside and outside, and there are so many witnesses here. When the police come, I won’t be sure who they will take away.”
The red-haired man stopped in his tracks. He quickly thought about it. In the beginning, he did want to touch this little girl, so he deliberately bumped into her. He did not expect this little girl to be so difficult to deal with. Not only was she bad-tempered, but she was also so good at fighting. He did not get any benefits at all.
What happened after that was their fault. They were the ones who took out the stick to hit him first. The other party’s counterattack could only be considered self-defense.
The red-haired man hesitated. If they called the police today, the police would not help them. Moreover, a few of them had already left a criminal record in the police station. They could not make any more mistakes.
Chapter 1100:1100 Mini games
“Just wait, we won’t let you off!” The red-haired man left with his companion.
Tian Tian made a face at their backs. “I’ll beat you up every time you come back. I guarantee that you’ll be like a mouse meeting a cat.”
Tian Tian’s initial unhappiness disappeared completely after being disturbed by them. She rubbed her stomach and said, “I’m so hungry. I want to eat something.”
If it weren’t for those people who came to cause trouble, they would have been sitting in front of tonight’s table and eating.
“Let’s go back and order some food,” Tan Rou said. “After eating, we’ll rest for a while. Then, we’ll go skiing.”
After calming down, Tao Zhi suddenly realized a very serious problem. He touched his forehead and said, “We’ve caused such a huge commotion here. Someone will definitely take a video and put it on the Internet. If the media finds out, they will keep an eye on us.”
Tan Rou glanced at Zhuang Liu, who smiled back at her, indicating that it was settled. It had to be said that the two of them were becoming more and more tacit. Even if they didn’t speak, they could understand what the other party was thinking just by looking at them.
Zhuang Liu said, “Don’t worry. I’ve already sent people to block the news. The entire Internet is blocked. As long as someone posts a video or picture, his information will immediately disappear from the Internet.”
“No wonder you were standing there like a wooden stake just now. It turns out that you were helping us settle the trouble behind us,” Tao Zhi said with a smile.
Zhuang Liu raised his eyebrows at him and said, “The three of you would have been enough to deal with those fools. Naturally, I don’t need to join. I can only do some logistics work to ensure that the netizens won’t find trouble with you in the future.”
Tao Zhinodded. “Thankyou.”
“It’s alright, we’re a family.”
The four of them returned to the rest area. There were many people inside, but they did not dare to approach the four of them. They had seen the scene just now. These four looked fair and clean, like rich young masters and young ladies who did not know anything, but when they fought, they were not gentle at all. Their fists hit the flesh, and the sound of bones cracking could even be heard.
Tan Rou and the others naturally noticed the gazes of the people around them, but they didn’t care. It was better for these people to be afraid of them, lest the situation like before happen again.
Almost all the scenic spots had souvenirs. Some souvenirs were sold directly, while others were given in special ways. For example, there were souvenirs in this resting area, but they needed to use their points to exchange for them.
“Three thousand points for a clay doll?” Tian Tian took a glance at the clay figurine on the display shelf at the counter. “Then how can I get points?”
Behind the counter, the waiter said with a smile, “You can get points by topping up. One dollar is one point. If you want to exchange for a clay doll, you can choose to charge it directly.”
“Three thousand isn’t a lot, but we can’t finish it all at once.” Tian Tian was a little conflicted. “I don’t know if I’ll still be at this ski resort tomorrow. If we change locations, wouldn’t the money be for nothing?”
The waiter was still squinting. “Miss, that’s true. If you want to stay here for a long time, you can choose to top up more money. If you’re leaving tomorrow, this recharge is not worth it. We can’t return the money to you either. We can only wait for you to come over to play in the future.”
Tian Tian didn’t mind the money but she just wasn’t someone who liked to waste money. “Forget it then.”
Tan Rou thought about the waiter’s words carefully. Then, she asked, “You just said that we can choose the way to top up. Since we can choose, there shouldn’t be only one option, right?”
“Yes. There’s another way to get a clay doll.”
“Oh… how so?” Tian Tian urged.
“We have a mini-game here. If you win the game, you can win the clay doll.”
“Could it be the game that smashes snow monsters? Do I need to put in coins to play?” Tan Rou pointed at a game screen and asked.
The waiter nodded. “Yes, it’s ten dollars per round. If you can kill all the snow monsters, you can exchange it for a small doll.”
