Ch. 351..360

Chapter 351: 351 Five Minutes Overtime

“Xiao Rou, tomorrow is the day of the competition with the Wang siblings. Are you nervous?” Li Li asked Tan Rou. Looking at her nervous expression, those who didn’t know better would think that Li Li was the one who would be participating in the competition tomorrow.

Tan Rou was calmly sitting in her seat and reading an English essay. When she heard Li Li’s words, she asked, “Do you think I’ll be nervous?”

Li Li shook her head. “I don’t think you will. The Wang siblings are no match for you.”

Tan Rou told her to relax. “Li Li, don’t worry about me. Since I have the courage to challenge them, I would also have the confidence to win them.”

Li Li said indignantly, “Those siblings are really annoying. They actually spread rumors about you on the Internet. There are tons of students who are actually cursing you on the forum.”

Tan Rou tapped the table with her finger and said casually, “The more people there are, the better. Anyway, I won’t be the one apologizing publicly.”

“Yes, yes. The twins are really cowards,” Li Li said angrily. “They actually set the competition venue in their own school.”

“I guess they just want to have the home ground advantage.” Tan Rou didn’t mind. “It doesn’t matter where the competition is held. What’s important is whether they can answer the questions during the competition.”

There was no class on Saturday afternoon, so Tan Rou and the others came to No. 46 High School early to prepare.

The principal followed Tan Rou and reminded her, “The Education Bureau is paying close attention to this matter. There was already a ruckus last time. This time, the Education Bureau is directly involved. If our school loses, it will have a very bad impact on you and the school.”

Tan Rou understood the pros and cons. In the previous incident, Wang Jin had spouted nonsense in the public security office. He neither admitted to his crime nor admitted that he knew the Tan family. The case had not been solved. If Tan Rou couldn’t prove her innocence this time, she might still be implicated by what happened last time.

Three cameras were arranged at the competition venue for a 36-degree live broadcast. Those who participated in the competition had been searched clean, and there were no electronic devices on them. Moreover, they were far away from the crowd and sat in the middle of the venue, so the two sides would not have any contact.

After the host sent by the Education Bureau announced the rules of the competition, the tiebreaker began.

“Now, please listen to the first question.” The host read the question. The questions were randomly drawn, and no one knew who was the one who set the question. The questions were only read once. If the participants could not remember them, they would have no other choice but to give up.

“Alright, let’s begin.” The host signaled for them to write their answers on their answer boards.

After Tan Rou heard the questions, she immediately answered them and wrote the answers in a few minutes. Their answer boards were connected to the computer, and every single word would be recorded by the computer. The entire process would be monitored, so they would not have the chance to cheat. However, the answers they wrote could not be seen by each other. Only the audience outside the venue and the audience in the live broadcast room could see them.

While Wang Shu and Wang Xin were recalling the data, Tan Rou had already solved the question.

The host glanced at the Wang siblings and reminded them, “There are still three minutes left for the answer. Please hurry up.”

The more anxious a person was, the easier it was for things to go wrong. The Wang siblings did not remember the data very well, but when they were writing, they accidentally pressed the erase button. The answer was erased before getting submitted, causing them to score for the first question.

The host said, “Unfortunately, you won’t be able to get any scores for this question.”

Wang Shu couldn’t stand it anymore. “Please let us write it again.”

The host did not want to break the rules for anyone. “Sorry, the time for this question has passed. You will have to answer the next one.”

“Sir, please give them another chance to write again then.” Tan Rou twirled her pen. “Otherwise, even if they lose, they won’t admit that they’re not strong enough.”

The host asked for permission and once he was given the green light, he said to the Wang sibling, “I’ll give you five more minutes.”

This time, Wang Shu and Wang Xin wrote faster and finished the answer within five minutes.

Li Li, Lu Qing, and Xu Yan were watching from below the stage. After seeing their answers, they quickly worked out an answer as well.

“The Wang siblings got it wrong.” Lu Qing said directly, “They missed a value just now. It was already wrong the first time they wrote it down. The steps that they wrote the second time are exactly the same as the first one. They probably didn’t hear the value correctly.”

Li Li also solved the question. “Although it took me a longer time to solve it, my answer is the same as Rourou’s..”

Chapter 352: 352 Congratulations on Getting One Question

In the end, it was indeed the Wang siblings who were wrong. Even with the extra five minutes, they still scored zero.

Tan Rou answered all five questions correctly, while the Wang siblings only answered three. Tan Rou scored 2 points for each question, and the siblings barely passed.

Their expressions turned ugly and they began to panic. The two of them sat restlessly in their seats and asked to go to the toilet halfway.

Tan Rou agreed. She had already won the first round anyway. No matter what tricks they played next, she would have the advantage.

“What’s wrong with you guys?” Principal Hu paced back and forth anxiously. “We’re going to lose if this goes on.”

Although Wang Shu was also worried that he would lose, he would never admit that he was afraid. “Principal, don’t worry. There are still two morcrounds. The questions for the next round are simple. We will definitely remember the numbers correctly.”

Wang Xin also said, “My brother and I will each memorize half of the data and answer the questions together. There will definitely be no mistakes.”

Principal Hu could only place his trust in them now.

The second round of the match required them to snatch an opportunity to answer. There were ten questions in total, and each correct answer was worth twenty points. The points could be added to the previous question.

These questions were much easier than the first round with simpler calculations. Moreover, there was no need for extra time to wait for the other party to finish answering the question. It was fine as long as one answered correctly. The first five questions were fill-in-the-blanks and the remaining five questions were multiple-choice. If one managed to grab a question, they would have three seconds to answer it. If they answered it correctly, they would get 2 points. If they answered it wrongly, they would not get any points deducted.

After the host finished reading the question, he gave the students 3 seconds to react. “Three, two, one! Start answering.”

Tan Rou reacted very quickly. She pressed the button and said, “The answer is D.”

The host smiled. “Congratulations, Student Tan Rou. You got the correct answer.”

On the other side, Wang Shu and his sister’s faces darkened. They still hadn’t figured out the answer.

The host then read another fill-in-the-blank question. “Please answer the second question first!”

Tan Rou snatched it again. “The strength is 7.2N.”

The emcee nodded. “Congratulations to Tan Rou for giving yet another correct answer.”

The Wang siblings did not manage to get the next three questions. Seeing that the gap in their scores was getting bigger and bigger, the Wang siblings thought of a way.

“Sister, the next question should be a multiple-choice question. If it’s a multiple-choice question, we’ll snatch it first and then think of a way to stall for time.” Wang Shu whispered to Wang Xin.

Wang Xin also agreed with this method. “You snatch it, I’ll answer.”

“Alright.” Wang Shu pressed the button.

Tan Rou saw them muttering to each other but she didn’t hear what they said. When she saw their hands on the answer button, she could roughly understand what they had in mind.

Before reading the questions, the host reminded the Wang siblings, “Students, Student has already gotten five questions correctly. If you don’t get any of the next five questions, your chances of turning the tables will be slim.”

“Got it. Hurry up and ask,” the Wang siblings said impatiently.

The host frowned, thinking that this pair of twins did not know how to appreciate the kindness that was being shown to them. He could only blame himself for being too talkative. Why did he have to talk to them? It was enough for him to do his job as a host.

For the sixth question, Tan Rou didn’t get the button. Rather than saying that she didn’t get the chance to answer it, it was more accurate to say that she didn’t participate in it at all. When the emcee finished counting, Tan Rou’s hand was still on the table. She had no intention of answering first. After a while, she did not move. Those who did not know better would think that she had fallen asleep.

The host saw that the Wang siblings had snatched the question and congratulated them in a friendly manner. “Congratulations to Wang Shu and Wang Xin for snatching the question. You have three seconds to answer it.” When the countdown ended, Wang Shu still hadn’t figured out the answer, so they could only choose one at random.

After Tan Rou heard the answer, she burst out laughing. “Even if you chose randomly, you shouldn’t have chosen such a ridiculous answer. They asked about the falling speed, but you chose the speed of the object being thrown upwards. Don’t you think that it’s weird?”

Wang Shu’s palms were sweating. She really couldn’t solve this question.

Tan Rou raised her hand and asked, “Sir, they’ve got the wrong answer. It’s my turn to answer, right?”

Each side only had one chance. If they managed to answer the question first, the points would be given to the person who answered correctly first. If they failed, the other side would answer. If the answer was correct, the points would be given to the other side.

“Alright, Tan Rou, please answer.” the host said.

“The answer is C, falling 3.76 meters per second, with two decimals.” Tan Rou picked the answer without breaking any sweat..

Chapter 353: 353 Apologize!

Wang Shu almost flipped the table. How did Tan Rou get the answer directly? She didn’t believe that Tan Rou must have guessed the answer by chance. There were still four questions left. They had to grasp them well.

Unfortunately, Tan Rou did not give them the chance to answer the last four questions. As soon as the host finished speaking, Tan Rou pressed the button and easily obtained the remaining 8 points.

The host then said to the three students, “The current score is 3 points for Student Tan Rou, while Student Wang Shu and Student Wang Xin only have 6 points. Next, there will be questions from the live audience and the audience in the live broadcast room. There are a total of five questions, and each question will get 2 points. I would like to ask all three of you if you want to continue?”

Tan Rou had 3 points, while the Wang siblings only had 6 points. Even if they got the remaining 1 points, they would only get 16 points. They had already lost.

“Do you still want to continue??” Tan Rou sat in her seat with a relaxed posture. “If you want, I’ll accompany you to the end.”

Wang Shu was so angry that he ran down from his seat and stood in front of Tan Rou. He looked down at Tan Rou. “You only won once! What’s there to be so proud of!!!”

Tan Rou corrected him. “I’m sorry. It should be the second time I beat you. The first time was in the actual physics competition. I got first place with full marks, while you two got second place.”

Wang Xin also ran over. She said to Tan Rou, “Don’t be too arrogant. There’s always someone better than you. Sooner or later, there will be someone who will surpass you!!”

“Well, you don’t have to worry about me.” Tan Rou stood up and placed her hands on the table. She was slightly taller than Wang Shu, so it was her turn to look down at Wang Shu. “Anyway, you guys have no chance of surpassing me now. You should stand aside.”

There was a microphone beside them so their voices would not only be transmitted to the live broadcast room, but also to the entire venue. Therefore, all the students and teachers present heard Tan Rou’s voice.

“As expected of my Xiao Rou. She’s strong, smart, and very arrogant! Rourou is my goddess. She’s my future goal, my idol!” Li Li said with admiration.

Xu Yan looked around and said, “It seems that the students of No. 46 High School are not sad because of Wang Shu and Wang Xin’s failure.””

Xu Yan and the others came in their school uniforms to cheer for Tan Rou. Since it was a holiday today, everyone came to cheer for Tan Rou voluntarily but looking at the students of No. 46 High School, 8% of them were looking around, and some were sitting below the stage playing on their phones. They didn’t care who was sitting in front of them at all. When they saw that the Wang siblings had lost, there were actually a few who secretly clapped.

“Their reputations are down the drain. Even their classmates from their own school didn’t want to cheer for them.

On the stage, the Wang siblings were still confronting Tan Rou. At this moment, the principles of both parties walked up.

Tan Rou’s principal smiled and said, “Well, Principal Hu. I’ll have to thank you for this opportunity.”

Principal Hu looked angry but didn’t dare to say anything. He said coldly, “Our students are indeed no match for yours.”

Tan Rou’s principal deliberately said, “Aiya, Tan Rou, why didn’t you give them a chance? How embarrassing it would be now that it ended this way?”

Tan Rou smiled. “I gave up one of the questions, but the two of them didn’t seem to cherish it, so I took it back.”

When Principal Hu heard this, he wished he could chase Tan Rou and the others out right now. However, the live broadcast was still going on. He could only continue to be polite. “We lost. We don’t blame anyone for it.”

Tan Rou glanced at the siblings. “There’s no one for you to put the blame on for this anyways. Please apologize to me publicly. It just so happens that the live broadcast is not over yet. The two of you should find a good shot and apologize.”

Wang Shu and Wang Xin had no choice but to admit that they were talking nonsense in front of the camera.

The match had already attracted a large crowd. Halfway through, other students had started a live broadcast to promote it, causing many adults and foreigners to join in. Now that the match had ended, there were actually millions of people watching them. Even after the match had ended, there were still many people pouring into the live broadcast room to watch the show.

“Hurry up! Don’t waste everyone’s time.” Tan Rou urged them.

“Tan Rou, don’t be so arrogant!” Wang Shu said angrily.

Tan Rou snorted. “I’m warning you too. Don’t spread rumors and cause trouble for others!”

Wang Shu was suddenly frightened by her aura and went over to apologize silently..

Chapter 354: 354 What Are You Laughing About?

“I’m Wang Shu. It’s about…” Wang Shu stammered as he apologized, “I have to explain about the rumors about Tan Rou on the Internet.””

“I don’t need your explanation.” Tan Rou reminded her, “I just need you to apologize and withdraw from the physics competition.”

“Tan Rou, don’t go too far with this!” Wang Xin came over to defend Wang Shu.

Tan Rou did not plan to let either of them off. The siblings were not good people. “Since you’re here too, you can apologize with him then. Can you bear to see your brother standing alone in front of the camera?”

Wang Xin hesitated for a moment, then stood beside Wang Shu and said loudly, “Since we agreed to the bet, we’ll admit defeat then. Tan Rou, we’re sorry. We shouldn’t have spread rumors about you on the internet. Please forgive us.”

“What about the bet?” Tan Rou reminded them.

Wang Shu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “We won’t participate in the physics competition anymore. We mean what we say!”

“Great.” Tan Rou walked in front of the camera and smiled. “I accept your apology. Also, I have to say that my results are based on my own abilities. I don’t need to resort to underhanded methods. If there are still rumors about me in the future, I will choose to call the police directly. If you don’t believe what I can do, try and challenge me then.”

With that, she left the venue.

“Xiao Rou, you were so cool just now!” Li Li held her phone. “I’ve already recorded what you said just now. I will use it to motivate me in the future.”

Tan Rou smiled and said, “There’s no need for that. With me by your side to encourage you, do you still need to watch those videos?”

Li Li thought for a moment. “You’re right. I’ll delete it. This camera lens isn’t very good. It didn’t even capture your beauty.”

“Let me treat you guys to a meal.” Tan Rou looked at Xu Yan and the others.

“It’s the weekend, but you guys still came to cheer for me.”

When they heard that Tan Rou was going to treat them to a meal, the students all gathered around. “Sure!”

There were quite a lot of people, so Tan Rou decided to go for a barbecue.

Seeing how there were so many of them, he was afraid that this would burn a hole in Tan Rou’s pocket and so he said, “Let me treat them instead.”

“No need.” Tan Rou rejected his kindness. “I can still afford to pay for the meal.”

Li Li looked at Lu Qing in confusion. “Lu Qing, why are you trying to treat us?!”

Lu Qing was a little embarrassed. “I’m just afraid that Tan Rou will spend too much money.”

Li Li felt uncomfortable listening to him. “So what if you’re rich? Although we don’t have as much money as you, it’s enough for a barbecue. Rourou has also helped me earn a sum of money too. If she doesn’t have enough money, I can help her pay.”

Tan Rou looked at Lu Qing and her attitude was very distant. “I’m sorry, Lu Qing. I do have enough money and don’t need your help.”

Xu Yan’s heart ached for Lu Qing. Why couldn’t this boy just understand the situation better? Since Tan Rou offered to treat, she must have the money for it. Moreover, these two have been fiddling with stocks in class every day. Did Lu Qing really not look at them at all? This boy even said that he liked Tan Rou?! He didn’t know anything about her. Xu Yan didn’t understand how Lu Qing had the face to say that he liked Tan Rou.

“Let’s go.” Li Li held Tan Rou’s arm. “I want to eat roasted pork!!!”

Tan Rou said, “Order whatever you want. Order a large portion. I have the money.:

Li Li was overjoyed. “Rourou is the best.”

Xu Yan followed behind them, leaving Lu Qing behind.

“Congratulations, Miss Tan Rou!” As soon as they left the school, Tan Rou was shocked by Xiao Mo’s large bouquet of sunflower lilies. Xiao Mo’s entire body was blocked by the flowers. If he hadn’t said anything, Tan Rou would have thought that the lilies had turned into spirits.

“You scared me.” Tan Rou said, “Why did you get such a big bouquet of flowers?”

Xiao Mo explained, “The Third Young Master asked me to send it over. He is packed with meetings today and can’t leave, so he asked me to send a bouquet of sunflower lilies that represents victory.”

Tan Rou looked at the bouquet of lilies that weighed at least ten kilograms. She said with a headache, I’m going to eat with my classmates now. I can’t carry them with me now.”

“It’s okay. I’ll send it to your house.” Xiao Mo said considerately.

“Alright then.” Tan Rou thanked him, “Please send my thanks to Third Brother for the flowers.”

“Alright.” Xiao Mo drove away with the flowers.

Tan Rou guessed that if Zhuang Liu had already asked Xiao Mo to send flowers, he probably saw the live broadcast. Wasn’t he in a meeting? Why did he have the time to watch the live broadcast?

That man definitely wasn’t being serious with his work.

“Rourou, he already left. What are you still laughing about?” Li Li asked. “Did the handsome guy in the wheelchair send those flowers?”

“No,” Tan Rou denied without blushing.

Li Li didn’t believe her. “I heard everything. Don’t quibble.”

“Alright, alright.” Tan Rou changed the topic. “Let’s eat!!!”

Li Li cared more about food.. “Alright, let’s go!”

Chapter 355: 355 Anger

“Damn it, damn it!” After watching the live broadcast, Tan Jing threw everything on the table to the ground. If she wasn’t in a wheelchair, she might have stood up and smashed everything in the room. “Wang Shu and Wang Xin are idiots. Not only did they not affect Tan Rou, but they were also kicked out of the physics competition by her! Idiots! Two f*cking idiots!!!”

Originally, Wang Shu and Wang Xin were tied for second place and were the most likely to surpass Tan Rou. Now, these two idiots had directly withdrawn from the physics competition and did not even have the chance to compete.

“What are you doing?” Chen Yi came up from downstairs. “Why did you smash these things? Don’t you know that our family is in trouble now?”

Tan Jing’s chest heaved up and down violently. “I’m sorry. I just got a little excited.”

Chen Yi was in a bad mood. Tan Song had not been home for the past few days. Whenever she asked him where he was going, they would quarrel. This was why she was mad as well.

“Jingjing, it’s fine if you do this in the past but now you have to change your bad temper that you learnt from the Tao family. Don’t bring your bad habits to our house.” Chen Yi blamed Tan Jing.

Tan Jing was also unhappy. When she heard Chen Yi blaming her, she really wanted to ignore everything and scold Chen Yi. However, Chen Yi was her mother. She still had to rely on Chen Yi and could not scold Chen Yi.

“I understand.” Tan Jing lowered her head and said.

“I’m already buried deep in problems.” After Chen Yi lectured Tan Jing, she went downstairs. “Don’t cause anymore trouble for me.”

As soon as she went downstairs, Li Wen ran up and said to Tan Jing hypocritically, “Oh my, why are you so angry? Look at these things. All of them would have gone to waste just because of you.”

Tan Jing couldn’t scold Chen Yi, but couldn’t she scold Li Wen?

“Then don’t you know how to clean them up? Why did I bring you here?” Tan Jing asked angrily. “You’re a nanny, so you should clean up! Hurry up and clean up!”

Li Wen ignored her and continued, “Young Miss, the situation at home hasn’t been good recently. Don’t be angry. You’re already in a wheelchair. You can’t afford to be sick anymore.”

Tan Jing did not agree with her. She was now very disgusted by others saying that she was in a wheelchair. At that time, she had mocked Zhuang Liu for being sick and disabled. Now that it was her turn, she couldn’t take it.

“What nonsense are you spouting? I’ll be done soon!” Tan Jing struggled to get up, but her legs felt weak and she fell back down.

“Come on. Let me help you up.” Li Wen reached out to grab Tan Jing’s arm.

Tan Jing was disgusted and slapped Li Wen’s face. “You’re quite bold. Do you think that you are qualified to touch me?!”

Li Wen covered his face and said in shock, “How could you hit me?!”

Her face was red and swollen, and the five palm prints on her fair face were very obvious.

“Why wouldn’t I dare to hit you?” Tan Jing was not afraid. Li Wen was just a nanny after all.

“I…” Li Wen raised his hand and heard the sound of the door opening downstairs.

Opening the door meant that Tan Song had returned. Hence, Li Wen put down her hands, covered her face, and went downstairs crying.

The moment Tan Song returned, he saw Li Wen coming over to welcome him. This immediately relieved his depressed mood. He didn’t expect that instead of welcoming him home with a bright smile on her face, she was crying instead.

“What happened? Did Chen Yi do it?” Tan Song was still willing to go home because Li Wen was still here. Li Wen would not quarrel with him. She would only comfort him and obey him. Therefore, when she saw that Li Wen was beaten, his first reaction was that it was Chen Yi who did it.

“No, it’s not.” Li Wen stood in front of Tan Song. His eyes and face were red and swollen. “It was the young miss. She threw a tantrum in the room and smashed things. I just wanted to help her clean up the mess but she vented her anger on me. I’m so sorry! This is all my fault.”

Tan Jing pushed the wheelchair to the stairs and scold angrily, “What nonsense are you talking about? When did I stop you from cleaning this mess up?!”

“Why did you hit her?” Tan Song asked angrily.

Tan Jing was stunned. Whose side was her father on? Why was he speaking up for Li Wen?

“Dad, she’s just a nanny. Why are you shouting at me for a nanny?!”

Tan Jing was about to die from rage. She had just been angered to death by Tan Rou and the others, and then she was scolded by Chen Yi. Now, she even got tricked by Li Wen. She was really wronged.

Tan Song couldn’t bear to hear her say that about Li Wen.. He reprimanded her, “Go back to your room and reflect on yourself!”

Chapter 356: 356 A Chaotic Family

Tan Jing was frightened by Tan Song. After being back for so long, this was the first time Tan Song had spoken to her like this, telling her to go back to her room and reflect on herself. All of these because of a nanny in their house? Her father scolded her indiscriminately because of a few words from a nanny?

“Dad, why don’t you listen to my explanation? Do you believe everything she says?” Tan Jing asked.

Tan Song was very angry. This girl was really becoming more and more like Chen Yi. She only knew how to cause trouble. He had already seen the injury on Li Wen’s face. What else was there to explain? She couldn’t possibly say that Li Wen had hit herself, right?

“There’s nothing to explain. Go back to your room and reflect on your actions!” Tan Song roared.

Tan Jing gripped the wheels of the wheelchair tightly with both hands and said resentfully, “Fine!”

She turned around and went back. Because the wheelchair was inconvenient, she was slow. Halfway through her turn, she caught a glimpse of Tan Song and Li Wen from the corner of her eye. Tan Song placed his hand on Li Wen’s face Li Wen from the corner of her eye. Tan Song placed his hand on Li Wen’s face and rubbed it gently for her. He even took out the medicine box from under the coffee table to apply medicine on Li Wen.

Seeing this, Tan Jing understood everything. Tan Song wasn’t protecting the nanny. He was clearly protecting his lover!

Tan Song was indeed a ballsy man. He actually dared to have an affair under the eyes of his own wife and daughter. When he was looking for the young lady, he even said that he did not have an affair. Now, he actually had an affair at home. He did not take the wife and daughter seriously at all.

“Tan Song, what are you doing!” Chen Yi heard Tan Song’s voice outside and came out of her room to take a look. In the end, she saw Tan Song touching Li Wen’s face and Li Wen was also looking at Tan Song affectionately. Those who did not know better would think that they were husband and wife.

At this moment, Li Wen still wanted to pretend. She quickly pushed Tan Song’s hand away and stood up from the sofa. She timidly lowered her head and stood to the side. “Madam, you’ve misunderstood. I accidentally offended Miss just now. She slapped me and my face was injured. Then, Sir was applying medicine for me.”

“Can’t you do that yourself?!” Chen Yi was not a fool. She would not believe such nonsense. “Isn’t there a mirror in the bathroom?”

Li Wen couldn’t come up with an excuse and could only stammer that Chen Yi had misunderstood them.

“I’ve misunderstood you?” Chen Yi’s eyes widened.

“I saw it with my own eyes. How could I be wrong?!” She pointed at Tan Song and cursed, “Tan Song, you bastard! It’s fine if you mess around outside, but you actually brought her home. Do you have any respect for me?”

Tan Song wasn’t afraid of Chen Yi. He pushed all the blame onto Chen Yi and her daughter. “When did I bring her home? You and your daughter were the ones who brought her home!!! Chen Yi, don’t you know what you’re like now? You can’t do anything well and you have such a bad temper. I offered to continue feeding you because we’re married. Otherwise, I would have chased you out long ago.”

“Alright, alright!” Chen Yi finally saw Tan Song’s true colors. “So you’ve wanted to divorce me for a long time. So be it. Do you think that I’ll be afraid of you! It’s not like I, Chen Yi, cheated on you. It’s you, Tan Song, who’s shameless! Not only did you go out to look for girls to sleep with, but you even had an affair under my nose. This is disgusting!!!”

Tan Song did not want to argue with her, so he picked up the briefcase on the sofa and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Chen Yi picked up the ashtray on the coffee table and threw it at him. She missed, so she picked up a bigger pillow and threw it at him.

Tan Song was hit, but he did not want to be outdone. He walked to Chen Yi and slapped her, causing Chen Yi to fall onto the sofa and not be able to move for a long time.

“Are you done messing around?” Tan Song still felt that it was all Chen Yi’s fault. “Your daughter was the one who hit her and I was just applying medicine on her face. What’s wrong with that?”

Chen Yi covered her face and sobbed. “Tan Song, you actually hit your wife! You hit a woman!”

Tan Song was in a fit of anger and could not listen to anything. “I wouldn’t mind hitting you again!”

Li Wen rolled her eyes and thought of a good idea. She ran over to support Chen Yi. “Madam, you’ve really misunderstood. There’s nothing between me and Sir. I know you’ve always disliked me and thought that I came from a humble background and that I’m a nanny. If you really can’t stand me, then I’ll resign and leave now.” As she spoke, a few drops of tears flowed out of her eyes.

Chen Yi couldn’t hit Tan Song, so she took it out on Li Wen. When Li Wen came to help her up, she slapped her and it happened to hit the other side of his face. This time, the marks on Li Wen’s face became symmetrical..

Chapter 357: 357 Divorce

Li Wen fell onto the sofa and covered her face as she sobbed. “Madam, why did you do that? I was just beaten up by the young miss, and now you have to slap me. Why would you do this to me?”

“You shouldn’t seduce someone else’s husband!” Chen Yi roared.”

Li Wen looked pitiful. “Sir, I don’t understand what Madam means.”

Seeing that Li Wen was injured again, he could not hide his anger. The man could not bear to see his woman being beaten up. Moreover, at this moment, Tan Song only had Li Wen, this pitiful little woman, in his heart. Li Wen had always been a pitiful and gentle woman in front of Tan Song. This could arouse Tan Song’s desire to protect her as a man, and it could also give Tan Song a sense of satisfaction. Now that Li Wen had been beaten up, Tan Song would definitely help her.

“You actually dared to hit her?” Tan Song raised his hand and slapped Chen Yi’s face. “Looks like you would never know who’s in charge of this family if I don’t teach you a lesson.”

Tan Jing watched from upstairs and her heart skipped a beat. They were all crazy. Everyone had gone crazy!!!

Chen Yi wasn’t someone to be trifled with. She and Tan Song fought and smashed everything on the coffee table.

Li Wen was trying to stop the fight at the side. Actually, she wasn’t trying to stop the fight. She just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to hit Chen Yi a few times for revenge.

“Please don’t fight because of me!!!” Li Wen shouted, “Madam, please understand Sir. There are so many things going on outside. He must be tired after a day of work. Please don’t quarrel with him anymore.”

After hearing what Li Wen said, Tan Song liked Li Wen even more. Only a woman like Li Wen was gentle and aware of the big picture, while Chen Yi, this crazy woman, only knew how to spend money and cause trouble.

When Chen Yi heard Li Wen’s words, she wanted to tear her into pieces. “B*tch, if you say that again, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

She broke free and pounced on Li Wen.

Li Wen didn’t want to get hit the second time. So, she ran around the house, shouting for Tan Song to save her.

Tan Song really couldn’t stand Chen Yi anymore. He rushed into the room and took out all the documents that he should take out. He dragged Chen Yi out. “Tan Song, what are you doing?” Chen Yi retreated.

“Didn’t you want a divorce? Let’s go now!” Tan Song roared.

Chen Yi stopped making a fuss. “Alright, I’ll get a divorce. I don’t care about you anymore!”

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue to Tan Jing. She cared about her reputation the most. If others knew that her parents were divorced, how would she be able to survive in school?

“Dad, Mom, please calm down!” Tan Jing shouted from upstairs.

However, Tan Song and Chen Yi had already gone out and could not hear what she said.

Li Wen watched the two of them leave before happily coming back to clean up the living room. While she was cleaning up, she did not forget to provoke Tan Jing, who was at the stairs. “Oh, she’s no longer going to be your mother.”

She touched her injured face and said with a smile,”You’d have to call me ‘Mom’ in the future.”

“Shameless b*tch! Do you think you’re worthy of being my mother?” Tan Jing scolded angrily.

“Humph!” Li Wen said confidently, “Once I married your father, you had to call me that no matter what. Why don’t we practice a few times now? You can just call me ‘mommy’.”

Tan Jing bared her fangs and brandished her claws upstairs. “Li Wen, you won’t be able to get away with this!!!”

“Up to you.” Li Wen didn’t care.

“Aren’t you worried about your daughter?” Tan Jing asked her.

Li Wen thought of his daughter who was in prison and felt a little uncomfortable. However, her days were much happier now. If he didn’t want her daughter, then so be it.

“I still have to thank my good daughter for this.” Li Wen smiled and said, “Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to live such a good life.”

Tan Jing was at her wit’s end. She could only pray that her parents would not get a divorce.

When they came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Chen Yi’s anger had yet to dissipate. “You can go back to your little lover now.”

Tan Song refused to be outdone. “Of course, I’m not as crazy as you. I can find whoever I want and bring whoever I want home.”

Chen Yi was stunned. “You’re actually going to bring another woman home?!”

Tan Song reminded her, “We’re already divorced. You don’t have to care about what I want to do.”

“Divorce…” When Chen Yi saw the divorce certificate in her hand, her heart suddenly turned cold. Why did she divorce Tan Song? Ever since she married Tan Song, she had not gone out to work.. Now that they are divorced, how is she going to live in the future?

Chapter 358: 358 Moving Houses

“Hubby, hubby, I was wrong.” Chen Yi hugged Tan Song’s arm and begged, “I was muddle-headed just now. I shouldn’t have divorced you. Let’s go back and remarry now, okay?”

Tan Song pushed her to the side and tidied his suit. He said condescendingly, “We’re already divorced. Don’t say things that will cause misunderstandings.

Oh and one more thing, find a house and move out of my house as soon as possible. You can take away everything in the house that belongs to you but our daughter stays with me.”

“No, Tan Song, you can’t do this to me!” Chen Yi burst into tears. “I’ve been with you for twenty years. You can’t chase me away just like that!”

“You were the one who wanted a divorce.” Tan Song couldn’t turn around. “Hurry up and move. I don’t have much patience to wait for an outsider.”

Chen Yi was stunned. She and Tan Song were divorced. How was she going to live in the future?

The tax bureau was diagonally opposite the Civil Affairs Bureau. Mr. Tao had just finished dealing with some matters and came out. The moment he came out, he saw Tan Song and Chen Yi tugging at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. There were only two reasons for them to come to the Civil Affairs Bureau. One was to get married, and the other was to get a divorce. Connecting this with what had happened recently, Mr. Tao concluded that the two of them were here to get a divorce.

He smiled and dialed a number. “Spread the news of Tan Song and Chen Yi’s divorce. There is no need to say where the news came from. Just get a few people and post this online.”

After he was done, Mr. Tao received a call from Mrs. Tao, asking him to go with her to the new house for the final inspection.

Mr. Tao was looking forward to the new house. When Tan Jing was around, he felt that the house was big enough to live in. Now that his precious daughter was back, the house seemed small. How could he let his biological daughter live in such a small house?

Thinking of Tan Rou, Father Tao’s heart softened. Fortunately, his precious daughter had returned to his side in the end.

“We’re moving now?!” Tan Rou was puzzled.

“The sooner the better. You guys pack up your things, we’ll move immediately.” Mother Tao said indifferently.

Tan Rou said, “But Xiaoqi and I still have to go to school. We don’t have time to move.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. You two only need to pack your things. Leave the rest to us.”

Tao Zheng said, “Xiao Rou, go to school as usual with Xiao Qi. Once you come back from school, you will be able to see our new home.”

Tao Qi was looking forward to his new home. He asked, “Mom, where is our new home?’”‘

Mrs. Tao looked at Mr. Tao, and Mr. Tao looked back at her. In the end, Mrs. Tao said it.

“Ummm… at Jade Water Elegant Residence.” Mother Tao said.

Tan Rou was shocked. “Jade Water Elegant Residence! The residential area with a property price of hundreds of millions?”

Tao Zheng was also shocked. “Mom, does our family have the money to buy a house there?”

“I didn’t buy this house. I rented it.” Mr. Tao cleared his throat and explained. “They decided to let the poor people live first. They’ve offered the deal of allowing us to rent the place for a few years first and once we have saved up enough, we will be allowed to buy the place.”

Hearing that it was a rented house, Tao Zheng relaxed. “Oh, I thought you bought it.”

Tan Rou suggested, “Why don’t I take out some money and see if I can buy the house?”

Mr. and Mrs. Tao objected together. “No, you just invested your money. You can’t take it out casually.”

Tao Zheng also advised Tan Rou, “Xiao Rou, use your money as an investment. We can rent a house now. Once we have money, we can buy it.”

Tan Rou observed her parents ‘expressions carefully. She realized that her parents looked a little nervous, as if they were afraid that others would find out. It seemed like this rented house wasn’t as simple as she thought. Perhaps the owner of the house had long become her parents.

“Sure, then I’ll leave my money and invest them first. We’ll talk about it after I’ve earned some money.”

The Tao family’s parents finally heaved a sigh of relief. Their daughter was too difficult to fool and had almost been exposed.

Tan Rou thought of another matter. They were about to move to Elegant Jade Water Residence, and Zhuang Liu’s mother was also there. Wouldn’t they be neighbors in the future? Maybe the house they were going to live in was far away from Shen Jing’s house..

Chapter 359: 359 Are You Happy?

Tao Zheng was helping his parents prepare for the move, while Tan Ron and Tao Qi went back to school accordingly.

Tan Ron was stopped by Tan Jing the moment she entered the school gate. Tan Jing sat in the wheelchair with her arms spread out, trying to block Tan Ron’s way. However, she looked at a clown.

Tan Ron stopped in her tracks. She wanted to see what kind of crazy thing Tan Jing was going to do today.

“Tan Ron, are you happy that you caused this situation today?” Tan Jing’s saliva almost sprayed onto Tan Rou’s face.

Tan Rou took a step back in disgust and asked, “What should I be happy about?”

Tan Jing’s eyes were red. “Are you happy now that my parents are divorced?”

“Oh, so your parents are divorced?” Tan Rou clapped her hands expressionlessly. “Congratulations.”

Tan Jing was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. “If you didn’t send those photos to my mother, why would they fight? If they didn’t, how could they have gotten a divorce?”

“What photo?” Tan Rou remembered that Zhuang Liu had asked Xiao Mo to find the photos, but she didn’t do it. What did it have to do with her?

“Is this your goal to break up my good family?” Tan Jing was spouting nonsense.

“Because I’m the daughter of the Tan family, the real eldest daughter of the Tan family. You’ve always been jealous of me when I returned to the Tan family, right?”

“Are you crazy?” Tan Rou couldn’t stand talking about her like that.

“Who cares about your identity as the eldest daughter of the Tan family? Let me tell you, I didn’t take the photos of your father cheating. I didn’t force your parents to get a divorce. I have nothing to do with your family’s affairs. If you want to go crazy, then find a place to do so. You’re at a school, not the stage for you to go crazy!”

“Xiao Rou, Xiao Rou!” Li Li saw them from afar. She was worried that Tan Jing was up to no good again, so she quickly came over to help Tan Rou. “Did Tan Jing cause trouble again?”

“She was the one who destroyed my family first and caused my parents to divorce.” Tan Jing spoke instead.

“Ohhhhh-” Li Li deliberately dragged out her tone. “Your parents are divorced? How pitiful! Look at the wheelchair you’re sitting in. Your family’s company is about to be destroyed, and your parents are divorced. How pitiful!”

Her words were like sharp knives stabbing into Tan Jing’s body. Tan Jing was so angry that she almost suffocated. “You…”

“Why did your parents divorce? You should ask your parents why they blamed Rourou.” Li Li said, “We are not marriage peacemakers. You have found the wrong person.”

Li Li pulled Tan Rou. “Rourou, let’s go to class. I saw a physics question last night and wanted to discuss it with you.”

“Tan Rou, don’t go!” Tan Jing grabbed onto the edge of Tan Rou’s uniform, causing her to stagger.

“Don’t touch me!” Tan Rou flew into a rage and flung Tan Jing’s hand away. “What’s wrong with you?”

The back of Tan Jing’s hand immediately became red and swollen. She covered the back of her hand in pain and couldn’t care less about grabbing Tan Rou.

Li Li was furious. “Tan Jing, let me tell you, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re sick. Once we find out that you’re up to no good again, you will be expelled!”

Tan Jing sat weakly in her wheelchair and swore to herself, “Tan Rou, you destroyed my family. 1 will definitely destroy you!”

Li Li stole a glance at Tan Jing’s expression and felt her scalp tingle. “Rourou, her expression is so scary!”

Tan Rou walked forward without looking back. “Let her make a scene. Let’s see what she can do.”

Tan Jing turned the wheels of her wheelchair and slowly moved forward in the campus. There were constant gazes on her and the voices of her classmates whispering.

“That’s Tan Jing, right? Her leg hasn’t recovered yet.”

“One wave hasn’t settled yet, and another wave has risen. I heard that her parents are divorced.”

“It’s probably because of the company.”

“Didn’t you say it was because her father cheated? There seems to be more than one woman.”

“So it was because her father cheated on her mother… Then why did she say that Tan Rou caused her parents to divorce? Isn’t Tan Rou innocent in all these?”

“Who knows? She has been framing Tan Rou for a long time, even the matter of the selection test papers for the physics competition has not been resolved yet…”

Tan Jing listened to all of this silently. She never thought that things would turn out like this. She had only returned to the Tan family a few months ago and became the eldest daughter of the Tan family who was sought after by tens of thousands of people. Now, she has become a laughing stock..

Chapter 360: 36 Continue Working Hard

 

 

“Xiao Rou, let me tell you. The physics question I saw last night was fascinating. I was about to solve it but realized there was a hidden condition….” Li Li was talking to Tan Rou about the physics questions when a person suddenly appeared at the stairs and startled her.

“Liang… Liang Lu!” Li Li pointed at Liang Lu. “You…What are you doing here?”

Liang Lu glanced at Li Li, then took out the test paper that was folded to the size of an eraser from the pocket of her school uniform. “You said that you would be my friend if I got 6 marks.”

Tan Rou took the test paper and looked at it. The test paper was folded very small and looked old. It could be seen that the person who wrote the test paper must have taken it out often.

The score on the test paper was 61 points, just above average.

“Not bad. You’ve improved so much in such a short period of time,” Tan Rou encouraged. “It shows that you’re brilliant. You’re just not willing to work hard.”

Liang Lu put her hands in her pockets and said, “Well, I did get myself into this school with my academic results.”

“But you wasted more than two years.” Tan Rou took the test paperback. “If you want to recover your original results, you must put in more effort.”

Liang Lu frowned. “I’ve already done it. Shouldn’t you be my friend?””

Tan Rou smiled, teasing her, “Those who don’t know better would think you’re courting someone.”

Liang Lu blushed. “Are you trying to renege on your promise?”

“How is that possible?” Tan Rou extended her right hand. “Hello, my friend Liang Lu.”

Liang Lu slowly extended her right hand and shook it. “Hello, Tan Rou.”

“I am delighted with your results.” Tan Rou said, “But just one subject isn’t enough. If we want to continue being friends, you must continue working hard next time.”

Liang Lu didn’t want to waste her time anymore. Otherwise, she would have to drop out of school and go home to find a job when everyone else went to university in a year.

“Then, can I come to you for help if there’s anything that I don’t know?” Liang Lu asked shyly.

“Of course, you can.” Tan Rou pushed Li Li out. “This is my deskmate, Li Li. Her grades are also excellent. If I’m not around, you can ask her.”

Liang Lu did not object. She reached out her hand. “I’m Liang Lu. Let’s be friends.”

Li Li was still in a daze. They were still making a scene in the classroom a few months ago. A few months later, they actually wanted to shake hands and be friends. She couldn’t believe her eyes!

“Why? Are you unwilling?” Liang Lu asked when she saw Li Li in a daze.

“Ah, no, no, no…” Li Li shook her head repeatedly and held Liang Lu’s hands with both hands. ‘Td love to! I’m Li Li. Nice to meet you.”

She also amused Liang Lu. “Li Li, right? If anyone bullies you in the future, say my name.”

Li Li felt that Liang Lu was quite interesting, so she said, “Alright then! I’ll have someone to protect me from now on.” She pulled Liang Lu with one hand and Tan Rou with the other, saying, “I’m so blessed!” With Rourou helping me with my studies and Liang Lu protecting me in school, I can do whatever I want!”

The three girls laughed.

Coincidentally, Tan Jing came downstairs and stared at Tan Rou angrily. Liang Lu actually knew Tan Jing better. Due to how Tan Jing and Lu Qing had been rumored, Liang Lu had always treated Tan Jing as a love rival. Later, when she discovered no such thing, she let it go.

“Do you want me to teach her a lesson?” Liang Lu had also heard about the grudges between Tan Jing and Tan Rou. Now that she was Tan Rou’s good friend, she naturally had to help Tan Rou.

“No need.” Tan Rou thanked her for her kindness. “She can’t cause much trouble in school now, nor can she hurt me. Don’t provoke her because of me, lest she takes the opportunity to report you to the principal.”

Liang Lu listened to Tan Rou. “Alright. Since you don’t want anything from her, I’ll leave her alone.”

She was terrified when Tan Jing heard that Liang Lu would teach her a lesson forTan Rou. She was a true gangster. As long as someone made her unhappy, Liang Lu would hit them.

Liang Lu glanced at her and warned, “Tan Rou is my good friend now. You’d better not do anything bad behind her back. If I find out, I’ll ensure you can’t leave the wheelchair for the rest of your life.”

Tan Rou urged, “Let’s go, Liang Lu. Let’s go up and take a look at your physics paper. You still have a lot of room for improvement.”

Liang Lu put her hands in her pockets and followed Tan Rou and the others upstairs.

Tan Jing’s heart was beating very fast. On the one hand, she was afraid that Liang Lu would teach her a lesson; on the other hand, she was angry at Tan Rou. How did Tan Rou get so many friends so easily? Even the school bully, Liang Lu had been subdued by her. On the other hand, there was no one around her now. She even has a problem trying to go up the stairs..
