Ch. 451..460
Chapter 451: 451 Happy Cooperation
Zhuang Liu’s words immediately attracted the jealous gazes of Liang Lu and the others. However, they thought about it carefully. What was their relationship with Tan Rou? What was Zhuang Liu’s relationship with Tan Rou? Zhuang Liu was Tan Ron’s fiance, so it was normal for him to have eaten Tan Ron’s food.
Moreover, judging from Zhuang Liu’s proficiency in peeling prawns for Tan Rou, they should have eaten together often. Since that was the case, they had nothing to be jealous of. They just felt a little unhappy.
Liang Lu still wanted to fight for it. “Xiao Rou, I want to try your cooking too.”
Tan Rou said, “I’ve been too busy recently. Let’s talk about it in the future.” She had to treat her brother’s hand, nurse Auntie Shen’s health, take care of her grandparents, and also treat Old Master Lu tomorrow.
After the meal, the few of them sat in the courtyard for a while. Grandpa Tao took out a large pair of scissors to trim the flowers. He was prepared to pick out beautiful flowers for Liang Lu and the others to bring back as a gift.
“See you on Monday!” Liang Lu and Li Li waved at Tan Rou. “Thank you for your hospitality today.”
Xu Yan didn’t want to go home. He wanted to buy some school supplies, so he took the bus and left.
Tan Rou told them to be careful on the road and to send her a message when they reached home.
Lu Qing had a car at home to pick him up. Before he left, he asked Tan Rou,
“Are you still going to my house to treat my grandfather tomorrow?”
Tan Rou nodded. “Let’s make it ten in the morning.”
Zhuang Liu stood beside Tan Rou. “I’ll go with Rourou tomorrow morning.”
Lu Qing saw that the two of them were getting closer and closer, and he felt upset. “Alright.”
Then, he got into the car and left in disappointment.
The next morning, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu arrived at Lu Qing’s house on time. In order to hide it from others, Zhuang Liu still went there in a wheelchair. However, when he arrived at Lu Qing’s house, he put down the wheelchair and went over with a walking stick.
Old Master Lu was very surprised when he saw Zhuang Liu stand up. Originally, he had thought that Zhuang Liu’s biggest weakness was his legs, which would affect his position in the Zhuang family in the future. However, now that he could stand up, this weakness would no longer burden him.
After treating Old Master Lu, Tan Rou still needed to rest for a while. The Lu family had prepared a resting cubicle for her and she was resting inside while Zhuang Liu was discussing some matters with Old Master Lu outside.
“Has Old Master Lu thought about what I said earlier?” Zhuang Liu asked in a low voice.
Old Master Lu was actually very confused. Why would Zhuang Liu choose the Lu family to cooperate? It couldn’t be that Zhuang Liu’s relationship with the Lu family had improved just because Tan Rou had treated him a few times, right?
Zhuang Liu saw that Old Master Lu did not answer, so he asked again, “Don’t you want the Lu family to be the only one?”
Old Master Lu was a soldier. He was not a heartless person. It was just that he had been bedridden all these years and his grandson was too young, so he restrained his edge. Now that his body had mostly recovered and his grandson was about to take charge of the situation, how could he continue to be calm?
“What do you need me to do, Third Young Master Zhuang?” Old Master Lu asked seriously. “If it’s illegal or immoral, I won’t do it.”
Zhuang Liu said “Don’t worry, i won’t do anything illegal.””
Old Master Lu nodded. “Alright, i agree to your request.”
Zhuang Liu sat at the table and knocked on the table with his fingers. “You should know that the Song family often goes against me in the dark. I’m not a good-tempered cat. I’ll scratch people when I’m angry.”
Old Master Lu smiled when he heard that. “Third Young Master Zhuang, if you want to deal with the Song family, the Lu family will fully support you!”
Zhuang Liu also smiled. “Alright, 1 was waiting for you to say that.”
The two of them had a simple conversation before Tan Rou woke up. When Tan Rou woke up, Zhuang Liu left with Tan Rou.
Old Master Lu looked at the car that was getting further and further away and sighed, “This lion that has been dormant for many years is finally going to stand up and join the competition.”
Lu Qing stood at the side with a complicated expression.
Old Master Lu glanced at his grandson and said, “You weren’t worthy of Tan Rou in the past, and now you’re even less worthy.”
He only had this one family member left. He could not let anything happen to this child. He only hoped that the old woman and his son and daughter-in-law could bless him from heaven to see his grandson take charge of his own affairs one day..
Chapter 452: 452 Give Me Money
Song Lin was still thinking about what to give Tan Rou for school the next day when Tan Jing, who had not contacted him for a long time, suddenly sent him a message asking him to meet at a place.
“Crazy.” Song Lin cursed and put down the phone.
However, Tan Jing called him again as if she had something urgent to tell Song Lin. She kept calling him.
Song Lin wanted to block her, but when his hand touched the phone, he accidentally pressed the answer button.
“Song Lin, you finally picked up my call!” Tan Jing’s voice was very hoarse. “Listen, 1 have something to say to you!”
“I don’t want to talk to you,” Song Lin said impatiently. “I don’t want to go to the place you said. Stop sending me messages and calling me.”
“I know you want to pursue Tan Rou, right?” Tan Jing gritted her teeth and said, “I know Tan Rou’s weakness. As long as you use this weakness to threaten her, she will definitely agree to be with you.”
These words were also said by those old men to humiliate her.
Song Lin was about to hang up the phone when he paused. He really wanted Tan Rou. These few days, he had been trying to curry favor with Tan Rou countless times. He had even swept the floor three times in the class, but Tan Rou’s attitude towards him was still lukewarm.
“What is her weakness?” Song Lin asked.
Tan Jing replied, “Come to the place I told you to meet me, and 1’11 tell you more about Tan Rou.”
“Just say it on the phone…” Before Song Lin could finish, Tan Jing interrupted him.
“I won’t tell you until 1 see you.” Tan Jing had also learned her lesson.
“Alright.” Song Lin’s eyes were fierce. “See you in an hour.”
The place where Tan Jing had arranged to meet Song Lin was an unfinished building. The developer had run away, and the workers had sold all the machinery and building materials without getting paid, leaving only some broken things behing.
Song Lin tripped over a messy rock. He was so angry that he cursed, “Tan Jing, this b*tch! What kind of lousy place did you ask me to come to?!”
“Song Lin, you’re finally here.” Tan Jing called Song Lin from the balcony on the sixth floor. “Come on up. There’s no one else here.”
Song Lin walked upstairs. Tan Jing was sitting in the middle of the room. There were many bread bags on the ground and a large bucket of water. It was very messy. She had aged a lot. She had heavy makeup on her face, and there were some white hairs in her originally long black hair. She did not look like a high school student who had just celebrated her eighteenth birthday.
Tan Jing saw Song Lin and grinned. “Long time no see, Song Lin.”
Song Lin looked at her lips that were covered with a thick layer of lipstick and felt a little scared. “Why did you do this to yourself? It’s disgusting.” “Disgusting?” Tan Jing touched her face. “I’m disgusting?”
“Aren’t you disgusting? You’ve slept with so many men. If you don’t feel disgusted, who else would?” Song Lin mocked.
Tan Jing burst into laughter and stared at Song Lin. “1 slept with you too. You said that I’m disgusting, but don’t you feel disgusted with yourself?”
“When I slept with you, you were still clean,” Song Lin said arrogantly.
Tan Jing said, “I wasn’t of age at that time. As long as I say that you raped me, you’re finished!”
“What exactly do you want?” Song Lin asked.
“I’m pregnant and I need money to get an abortion.” Tan Jing said.
“You’ve slept with so many men. How can you be sure that it’s mine?” Song Lin said angrily. However, he was also nervous. After all, he had done it with Tan Jing a few times. If the child was really his, he would be finished.
It was not easy for him to enter the Song family. Old Master Song was also quite satisfied with him and gave him a chance to fight for the position of the Song family’s head. If his and Tan Jing’s matter was exposed, he would be chased back to that lousy place.
“I didn’t say that he’s yours, but 1 can make him yours.” Tan Jing revealed a scary smile and took out her phone from her pocket. “If others knew what we just said, what do you think would happen?”
Song Lin was furious. “Are you crazy?”
“I’m a lunatic!” Tan Jing widened her eyes and shouted, “If you were raped by those old men and forced to crawl on the ground like a dog, where they humiliate over and over again, you would go crazy too!”
Song Lin looked at the crazy Tan Jing and knew that he could not anger her, so he said, “Calm down. If you want money, I’ll give it to you. How much do you want to get an abortion?”
Tan Jing calmed down a little. She reached out a hand and made a ‘five.’
Song Lin heaved a sigh of relief, “Five thousand yuan, right? I’ll transfer it to you.”
“Not five thousand.” Tan Jing smiled.. “I want 5 million!”
Chapter 453: 453 Dead Man
“Why don’t you rob the bank instead?” Song Lin couldn’t give her that much money, and he wouldn’t give Tan Jing that much either. Five thousand yuan was barely enough, but he would never give her fifty million yuan.
“If I could snatch it, why would 1 come to you?” Tan Jing’s eyes drooped. She said sadly, “Tan Song asked me to give him 5 million. As long as I give him 5 million, 1 can stop sleeping with those old men. I can live a normal life in the future.” She was agitated. “Song Lin, I want to live a normal life!”
Who wouldn’t want to live a normal life? Song Lin also wanted to live a normal life. He was an illegitimate child and had been looked down upon by others since he was young. This caused his heart to be somewhat distorted.
“Alright, i’ll transfer it to you.” Song Lin comforted Tan Jing and slowly approached him. “I don’t have that much money in my account. Can I transfer 2 million to you first?”
Tan Jing thought for a moment. It was better than nothing, so she agreed. “Alright, transfer 2 million to me first.”
Song Lin originally wanted to ask Tan Jing about Tan Ron’s shortcomings, but now he could almost guess that Tan Jing was bluffing him. If Tan Jing really knew Tan Ron’s shortcomings, she would have used them to threaten Tan Ron. “Hurry up and spin!” Tan Jing said.
Song Lin said, “I don’t know your card number. Tell me your card number.” He approached Tan Jing step by step. “If you don’t have your bank card with you, you can go to the mobile banking app.”
Tan Jing’s bank card had long been taken away by Tan Song. She did not remember the bank account number, so she followed Song Lin’s instructions and looked for the card number from the mobile phone bank.
Song Lin took advantage of the moment when she lowered her head and rushed over to snatch Tan Jing’s phone away.
“What are you doing?” Tan Jing came to snatch the phone.
Song Lin was an expert. He raised his phone high above his head and smiled. “You want me to transfer you 5 million? You must be dreaming! I’m not going to give you the money. If you have the ability, come and take it.”
“Give me back my phone!” Tan Jing was already at her wit’s end. If she could not hold on to Song Lin, this life-saving straw, she would definitely die.
“You’re thinking too much. 1 won’t return it to you.” Song Lin could not let this recording spread.
Tan Jing pounced over and scratched and bit Song Lin. Song Lin didn’t pay attention and her neck was really scratched.
“F*ck! Crazy woman!” Song Lin pushed her away. “You better not have any illness!”
Tan Jing’s eyes were red. “Well, I’m sick. I’m going to infect you with my illness!” As she spoke, she rushed forward and bit Song Lin.
Song Lin was furious. “Crazy woman, you’re crazy. If you bite me again, I’ll kill you!”
Tan Jing pretended not to hear him and continued to bite Song Lin, tearing Song Lin’s coat.
“Get lost!” Song Lin kicked Tan Jing away.
Tan Jing took a few steps back and fell from the sixth floor.
Song Lin was stunned. He didn’t want to push Tan Jing down, nor did he want to kill her.
He didn’t think that Tan Jing would die since this was only the sixth floor. Last time, she jumped off a building, but she didn’t die. This time, this is definitely another one of her tricks. Song Lin comforted himself.
He mustered up his courage and walked to the balcony to look down. He saw an old steel bar that was 4 to 5 centimeters long stuck in Tan Jing’s chest. The steel bar was covered in blood.
Tan Jing’s eyes were wide open. Her head had cracked open. There were white and bloody things mixed together. It was very disgusting.
Song Lin was so scared that he retreated back into the room. His legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
After a while, he stumbled down the stairs. Because his legs were weak, he missed a step and fell down four or five steps.
Tan Jing’s phone fell out of his hand. Song Lin didn’t have the mood to pick it up and quickly left the unfinished building.
When he reached downstairs, Song Lin subconsciously looked at Tan Jing. She was like a hawthorn on a steel rod. It was very scary.
Song Lin ran out of the unfinished building without looking back. He didn’t dare to call a taxi immediately. After he calmed down, he walked a long distance before getting a taxi.
He closed his eyes and pinched his arm. His arm hurt, which proved that it was true. He had killed someone.
After returning home, Song Lin only told the servants that he had fallen. He had to admit that he was quite capable of handling stress. He could still continue eating dinner with a clear conscience after killing someone..
Chapter 454: 454 Dad Was Wrong
“Morning, Xiao Ron!” Liang Lu had been waiting for Tan Rou at the entrance today. She had some questions for Tan Rou, but she didn’t want to disturb her studies, so she took the opportunity to ask her questions while Tan Rou was walking from the entrance to the teaching building.
“Good morning, Liang Lu. You’re early today.” Tan Rou answered with a gentle smile.
“Hehe.” Liang Lu smiled. “Because I have a question for you.”
Tan Rou said, “If you have any questions, you can send me a message or come to class. There’s no need to wake up so early. The weather was quite cold, so it was better to sleep in.”
“Sleeping is not as important as studying.” Liang Lu was aware of how much she lacked.
“Morning, Xiao Rou!” Li Li ran up to them. “Good morning, Liang Lu!”
Liang Lu waved at her as a greeting.
Just as the three of them were about to enter the school gate, a disheveled man suddenly rushed in front of them and grabbed Tan Ron’s arm.
Tan Rou didn’t expect someone to appear and was caught by him. However, she reacted quickly and grabbed the man’s arm, kicking him away from them.
Liang Lu stood in front of Tan Rou and rolled up her sleeves. “Who are you?” she asked.
The man pushed his greasy hair aside and said anxiously, “Rourou, it’s me. It’s Daddy!”
However, the person who called himself ‘daddy’ was not Father Tao, but Tan Song, who had been hated by everyone recently.
Tan Song’s face was covered in dirt, and the coat he was wearing seemed to have not been changed for a long time, emitting an unpleasant smell.
“Xiao Rou, please help daddy. Daddy is really at a loss.” As Tan Song spoke, he started crying.
When Tan Rou heard Tan Song call himself ‘daddy’, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. “Who do you think you are? How dare you say that you’re my father?”
Tan Song lowered his attitude. “Daddy was wrong in the past. Can Daddy apologize to you?” As he spoke, he knelt down and bowed to Tan Rou. “I’ve made a terrible mistake. Please forgive Daddy!”
Tan Rou really wanted to smash his mouth, but she didn’t want to dirty her hands. “I’m afraid you’re blind and your brain is damaged. Your daughter is Tan Jing, not me.”
“Xiao Rou, we raised you for seventeen years. Don’t we have any relationship between us?” Tan Song said.
“Besides, I don’t want a lot from you, just 5 million. As long as you give me 5 million, we’ll write off all our past grudges.”
“You’re really interesting!” Tan Rou sneered and mocked, “It was you who hurt me. Now, you want me to give you 5 million to erase our past grievances? Do I look like a fool to you?”
“I…” Tan Song changed his words. “Okay, okay, okay. Let’s not talk about the past. Let’s talk about something else. Rourou, on account of the fact that the Tan family has raised you for 17 years, lent me 5 million yuan. When I have enough money to start the company, 1 will definitely repay you.”
“You raised me for seventeen years?” Tan Rou found it ridiculous. “1 really don’t understand how you have the audacity to say that. When I was still a baby, you fed me sleeping pills. When I was four years old, 1 was sent to that kind of place. Do you know how I lived for those ten years?”
Tan Song stammered, unable to say anything.
Tan Ron’s emotions rose and she recounted everything that had happened in the past ten years.
“When 1 was first sent there, no one cared if I was a young and weak child. They only cared if I could continue the experiment.
“They were asking a four-year-old child to learn 1, Chinese characters in a year, and after the age of five, they would learn 6, words in a year. If one of them made a mistake, they would be locked in a small black room and would not be allowed to eat or sleep.
“They kept instilling knowledge into us. If we couldn’t learn it, they would put electromagnetic hats on our heads and stuff knowledge into our brains. If we couldn’t learn it, they would use electricity to shock us. You even said that those things are used to develop our brains. Do you think those things can really develop our brains?
“Do you know how many children there were? At first, there are a hundred children, the last, only less than five children, the last of them even went crazy and some committed suicide. In the beginning, there were children who died tragically being carried away from me almost every day.
“I was lucky enough to survive, but my brain was also damaged by them and implanted with a lot of messy memories. I really wanted to crack open my brain every day to take a good look at it.
Tan Rou said coldly, “Is this what you call raising me gracefully for 17 years?”
Chapter 455: 455 Disgusting
Tan Song didn’t feel that he was wrong at all. He said, “Only by experiencing hardship can one succeed. Besides, aren’t you back to normal now? If we hadn’t sent you to that place, you wouldn’t have had this opportunity, and you wouldn’t have become so smart.”
In fact, Tan Song had always wanted to know how Tan Rou had returned to normal. That was because the person who had paid them money told them that Tan Rou would only be stupid for the rest of her life and would never recover. However, Tan Rou became smarter after returning to the Tao family. It was unknown what method the Tao family used.
Liang Lu was a very righteous person. After hearing Tan Ron’s self-description, she was angry and heartbroken. Hence, she ran to Tan Song, picked him up, and threw him on the ground twice.
Tan Rou didn’t want Liang Lu to be accused of beating someone up. She quickly pulled Liang Lu away and said, “Don’t give him the chance to extort money. If you hurt him, he will definitely extort money from you.”
“I can’t take this lying down!” Liang Lu wished she could break Tan Song’s bones. “How could they do this to you?”
“Don’t be angry because of him.” Tan Rou said calmly, “Let’s go to class first. There’s no need to waste time here.”
“Don’t go, don’t go!” Tan Song got up from the ground and continued to apologize to Tan Rou. “Rourou, I was really wrong. Can 1 just apologize to you?” “Don’t you have any shame?” Li Li was so angry that her hair was about to stand on end.
“Last time, you came to the school to ask Rourou for money. Now, you’re here to ask Rourou for money. Do you think Rourou is an ATM machine that can withdraw money without a bank card? You are the one who caused your family to go bankrupt. Why should Rourou use money to fill the hole in your family?”
“I didn’t ask her for money. 1 just wanted to borrow money. When I have money, 1’11 return it to her.” Tan Song’s choice of words were interesting. It was not cheating when he went out to go whoring and said that he did not have a mistress. Then, when he came out to forcefully borrow money, he said that he did not ask for money and was only borrowing money. He had definitely grasped the essence of the language.
“If your memory isn’t good, I’ll help you refresh them!” Li Li raised a finger. “You came to school to ask Rourou for money, disturbing her from studying. Your daughter stole the physics exam paper and framed Rourou, causing her to almost miss the competition. Also, do you remember who spread the rumor that Xiao Rou was being kept?”
She counted the Tan family’s sins in detail, and the more she spoke, the angrier she became.
Tan Rou was such a good person. How could she be bullied by the Tan family like that? If she had the power, she would definitely avenge Tan Rou.
“Those things were all done by that little b*tch, Tan Jing. It has nothing to do with me. I’ve already taught her a lesson.” Tan Song decided to sell his biological daughter to please Tan Rou. “I sent her to the bed of those old men who were the age of her grandfather. Those old perverts have new tricks to torture her every day. She’s been tormented until she’s not human anymore. Xiao Rou, what do you think?”
Tan Rou knew that Tan Song was disgusting, but she did not expect him to be so disgusting. Not only did he give his own daughter to all kinds of people to play with, but he also told them about it. It was really disgusting.
“Boom!”
Hearing Tan Song’s words, Li Li felt physically uncomfortable. She had never seen such a disgusting father like Tan Song. This kind of animal was not worthy of being a father.
“You’re even more of a beast than a beast!” Liang Lu stepped forward and kicked Tan Song again. She didn’t want to stand up for Tan Jing. She just felt that Tan Song was disgusting.
“Let’s go back to class.” Tan Rou didn’t want to waste any more time, so she pulled Li Li and Liang Lu away.
Tan Song chased after her. “Xiao Rou, save Daddy. If you don’t save Daddy, Daddy will die.”
He originally wanted to use Tan Jing’s body to pay off the debt, but that heartless little girl ran away. He searched for a long time but could not find her. He did not know where she was hiding.
Unable to find Tan Jing, Tan Song could only turn his attention to Tan Rou. She had already regained her identity as the eldest daughter of the Tao family. As long as she was willing to lend him money, he could make a comeback.
“What are you doing?” The security guards in the security room finally noticed Tan Song. They came over with batons and explosion-proof forks.
“Where did this lunatic come from? Hurry up and grab him. We can’t let him hurt the students.”
Tan Rou and the others took the opportunity to run to the teaching building..
Chapter 456: 456 Just you wait!
When Tan Ron and the others returned to class, they were about to take out their books for morning reading when a fly that couldn’t be chased away came looking for them.
“Tan Rou, are you alright?” Song Lin put down his bag and ran to Tan Ron’s seat. Concerned, He asked, “Did that old man Tan Song do anything to you?”
Tan Rou rolled her eyes and ignored him.
Hearing Song Lin’s words, Li Li felt very uncomfortable. “Song Lin, from what you’re saying, it seems you want Tan Song to do something to Rourou?”
Song Lin was stunned. He explained, “That’s not what 1 meant. 1 just wanted to say that if I came earlier today, Tan Song wouldn’t have bullied Tan Rou.” “Song Lin, what’s your relationship with Rourou?” Li Li shook her head.
“Do you need to care about our Rourou’s matters?”
Tan Rou said, “Song Lin, please stay away. We’re going to study.”
Li Li sat back in her seat and showed Tan Rou the physics question she didn’t know how to answer last night. “Rourou, can you help me analyze this question?”
Tan Rou then started reading the question that Li Li had passed to her.
Song Lin was furious. This Li Li was really a dog that relied on others. In the past, she was like a mouse that had seen a cat. Now that she saw him, she wished to raise her chin to the sky. It was as if this wretched girl had Tan Ron’s flag on her back. On the flag was written, ‘1 am Tan Ron’s b*tch!’.
“Tan Rou, I also have a physics question that 1 don’t know. Can you teach me?” Song Lin suppressed his anger and tried his best to maintain a calm tone.
“Did you also enter the finals of the physics competition?” Tan Rou asked.
Song Lin’s face turned red. He remembered the competition with Tan Rou. Not only did he lose, but he also failed the physics competition. On the other hand, Li Li’s results have been getting better and better ever since she started following Tan Rou. She had even passed the provincial finals and was about to go to the national competition.
Li Li chimed in, “Someone boasted about how amazing he was, but he didn’t even pass the preliminaries. It’s really fun.”
Song Lin could not vent his anger on Tan Rou. He could only turn around and scold Li Li. “Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize me? You’re just a dog raised by Tan Rou. I’m talking to your master, so don’t make a sound.”
Li Li frowned and said unhappily, “Song Lin, I didn’t scold you this entire time. Please improve your character. Don’t start insulting others out of the blue.”
At this moment, someone said, “An illegitimate child from that kind of place. What kind of quality do you think he has?”
Song Lin turned around to look for him after hearing that. However, everyone was busy doing their own things, so he could not tell who said it.
Song Lin was furious. “Just wait. Not only am 1 going to scold you, I’m also going to…”
“What else would you do to her?” Tan Rou raised her head. Her eyes were extremely cold.
Song Lin was so frightened that he shivered. He had never seen Tan Rou look at him like this. Although Tan Rou was usually cold to him, she looked like she really wanted to kill him.
“Hehehe.” Song Lin smiled apologetically and said. “Why can I do that? She’s just a little girl. What can I do to her?”
With that, he walked away.
Tan Rou was worried. She said to Li Li, “Try not to be alone. Song Lin has always been a dark person. There’s no guarantee that he won’t do something bad.”
Li Li nodded. “Yes, I’ll be aware of it.”
Nothing happened for two days straight, and Tan Rou let her guard down. Perhaps Song Lin was just saying it and didn’t have the guts to do it.
“Xiao Rou, you should head back first. My stomach doesn’t feel too good, so 1 need to go to the toilet.” Li Li put her bag on the table and rushed to the toilet.
Tan Rou felt that there was nothing much to do now. She said, “I’ll wait for you so that we can leave together.”
Li Li gestured and quickly ran to the toilet. Tan Rou took out her phone and checked the stocks she had bought.
“Why aren’t you leaving yet?” Lu Qing walked over and asked. He knew that Tan Rou was definitely not waiting for him, but he still asked subconsciously.
“I’m waiting for Li Li. She went to the toilet. “Oh.” Lu Qing stood there in a daze. He was thinking if he should wait for Tan Rou.
Tan Rou scrolled through her phone for ten minutes and felt that something was wrong. Why wasn’t Li Li back yet? She didn’t reply to her messages either.. Could it be that her legs were numb from sitting on the toilet bowl?
Chapter 457: 457 Bullying a Girl
Bullying a Girl
After waiting for another three minutes, Tan Rou couldn’t wait any longer. She took her phone and went to look for Li Li. As she walked, she called her.
Before she reached the washroom, she saw Song Lin leaning against the wall at the door of the female washroom, smiling brightly.
“Song Lin, what are you doing at the door of the women’s bathroom?” Tan Rou rushed over and questioned him.
When Song Lin saw Tan Rou coming over, he was a little surprised. He thought that Tan Rou had already gone back.
“Why are you still in school?” Song Lin asked subconsciously.
“I haven’t asked you what you’re doing after school.” Tan Ron’s gaze was fierce. She felt very uneasy. “Where’s Li Li?”
Song Lin’s eyes evaded his gaze and he wanted to run to the classroom. “I don’t know.”
Tan Rou reached out and grabbed Song Lin’s collar. She pressed him against the wall and asked, “Where’s Li Li?”
At this moment, the door of the ladies ‘room opened. A girl in a school uniform with colorful hair came out with a cigarette in her mouth. “Brother Song, what should we do with the girl inside?”
When she saw Song Lin being pressed against the wall, she rolled up her sleeves angrily. “Are you courting death?”
Lu Qing also rushed over and brought Xu Yan, who had gone to the office to fill in the documents and had not had the time to go home.
“Who are you?” Xu Yan could tell at a glance that something was wrong because their school did not allow people to dye their hair.
When the girl saw that there were three of them, she shouted into the toilet, “Just leave two people here to guard. The rest of you can come out and do your work.”
Another three delinquents came out from inside. Some had dyed their hair, some did not. Some were wearing school uniforms, and some were not. However, it was obvious that they were not students of the school.
Tan Rou threw Song Lin against the wall. “Song Lin, you’re courting death!”
Lu Qing was worried that the surveillance cameras here would capture Tan Rou, so he said, “Tan Rou, calm down first. There are surveillance cameras here. You will be captured by the surveillance cameras.”
Tan Rou suddenly turned around, her eyes filled with ruthlessness.” Do you want to protect him too?”
Then, Xu Yan quickly said, “The school’s electrical system needs to be repaired at noon. The surveillance cameras have been cut off.”
Tan Rou was even more daring now. She dragged Song Lin away in front of everyone. Song Lin was a 1.8-meter tall boy, but he was powerless in front of Tan Rou.
“What do you want to do for Brother Song?” The leader of the colorful haired delinquents raised her fist to threaten Tan Rou.
Tan Rou slapped her. “Don’t block my way!”
The gangster girl was slapped to the side of the fence by her, and blood came out from the corner of her mouth. Seeing that their leader had been beaten up, the others also rushed forward. Tan Rou knocked them down in a few moves. During this process, she didn’t even use her right hand as she held onto Song Lin’s collar.
Xu Yan wanted to go up and help, but when he saw Tan Rou subdue the female hooligans in a few seconds, he silently retracted his foot and stood at the side to watch, while also keeping guard of the place.
Tan Rou dragged Song Lin all the way to the door of the women’s bathroom. Song Lin kept struggling, and his legs kept thumping. One of his shoes even fell off.
“Get out here!” Tan Rou roared.
The other two delinquents ran out dejectedly. When they saw their sisters lying on the ground, they were so scared that they did not dare to say anything.
“Where’s Li Li?” Tan Rou glared at them, as if she wanted to kill them.
“Yes…lnside…” A gangster’s voice trembled. “We didn’t hurt her. We just tied her up. Plus, she didn’t cooperate with us and even broke my hand.” She felt a little wronged.
Tan Rou ignored her. She only wanted to find Li Li. If Li Li was hurt, she would never let Song Lin off.
Li Li was tied up in a cubicle in the toilet. This was an accessible toilet with another toilet inside. At this moment, Li Li was tied to the toilet bowl. Her mouth was tightly wrapped with transparent tape, and her face was red.
“Wuwuwu…” After seeing Tan Rou, Li Li burst into tears. She kept struggling, trying to escape.
“Release her!” Tan Rou was furious.
The two delinquents trembled as they untied the rope. The rope was too strong, and they even tied a dead knot. They could not untie it for a long time.
“Use scissors.” Xu Yan specially ran back to the classroom to pick up the scissors that girls usually used to make their crafts.
At this moment, he couldn’t care less about the fact that this was the women’s washroom.
Tan Rou glanced at Song Lin, who was still moving around, and sneered..” Song Lin, are you bullying a girl?”
Chapter 458: 458 Pay the Price
Li Li was drenched and gave off an unpleasant smell. Tan Rou had only smelled that smell after she disinfected herself in the toilet.
“Xiao Rou…” Li Li cried and got up. She wanted to use her hands to wipe her eyes, but her hands were covered in dust, so she couldn’t rub her eyes.
Tan Rou used her leg to hook up the broken rope on the ground. She picked the longest one and tied Song Lin up. Song Lin didn’t cooperate. So, Tan Rou proceeded to punching Song Lin in the stomach. Song Lin broke out in a cold sweat and no longer had the strength to struggle.
“Song Lin, do you think you can do whatever you want just because your Song family has some status?” Tan Rou knocked Song Lin’s face with a rope that had fallen into the dirty water on the ground.
“I hate it when people bully girls. A grown man tied a girl up in the toilet just because she said something to you. Song Lin, you’re really trash.”
Song Lin coughed a few times and quibbled, “I didn’t…” I didn’t touch her…”
“I’m not blind or deaf.” Tan Rou said, “I saw what those girls said and did just now. Do you think I’ll let you off just because of that?”
“I… I didn’t do it on purpose.” Song Lin was a little scared. He had already realized the disparity in strength between him and Tan Rou. If Tan Rou really wanted to deal with him, he might be in a very miserable state.
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to hear your excuses. How do you want to die?” Tan Rou asked.
“Name one.”
Song Lin shook his head. “I don’t want to die. 1 really don’t want to die!”
Although Li Li was frightened, she was still rational. “Rourou, I’m fine. Please don’t kill him. If you do, you’ll be finished.”
Tan Rou knew this. She just wanted to scare Song Lin.
“Since you like disinfectant so much, have a taste of it then.” Tan Rou smiled.
She walked out and found all the disinfectant that was left at the sink. Then, she poured it into the area where the mop was washed and put the mop in till it was completely soaked.
After that, she splashed Song Lin with the water she used to wash the mop. At the same time, she grabbed the few delinquents who had fallen to the ground and splashed them with water.
The leader of the delinquents was filled with regret. They shouldn’t have come here today. If Song Lin hadn’t given them 3, yuan, they wouldn’t have come.
“Heroine, we know we were wrong!” The delinquent girl, who was covered in dirty water, knelt down and admitted her mistake. “We really didn’t mess with that girl. It was Brother Song… Song Lin gave us 3, yuan to sneak in and wait for this girl. Once she was alone, we would teach her a lesson. We didn’t even have the time to teach her a lesson. We just tied her up and poured some disinfectant on her.”
Tan Rou glanced at them. She didn’t want to waste time with these thugs. The real culprit was Song Lin. “Get lost!”
The delinquents scrambled away.
The next step was to deal with Song Lin. Originally, Tan Rou did not want to bother with Song Lin at all. Song Lin was not a threat to her. Although she was annoyed, she did not do anything out of line.
But now it’s not the same, Song Lin had laid his hands on Li Li, the girl who became Tan Ron’s friend. It was also this girl who recovered her memory. This was her friend and deep in her heart, she has long regarded Li Li as a good sister.
Tan Ron’s good friend was bullied by this scum Song Lin. How could she allow this to happen?
“Does the disinfectant smell good?” Tan Rou smiled and asked Song Lin,
“Do you want to try it?”
Song Lin shook his head. “No, you can’t drink disinfectant.”
Tan Rou naturally knew that the disinfectant could not be drunk. If consumed in small amounts, one would vomit but in large amounts, it would burn a hole through the stomach.
“It’s okay, just a little.” Tan Rou walked outside and fiddled with it for a while before coming in with a bucket of dirty water.
“Try it.” Tan Rou put the bucket down and took out the box that contained the soap. “This box doesn’t have holes in it. You can use it as a bowl.”
“Will anything happen if I give him disinfectant?” Li Li asked.
Tan Rou whispered into her ear. Li Li nodded slightly and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Xiao Rou, don’t dirty your hands.” Li Li said, “I’ll feed him. My clothes are already dirty anyway.”
Tan Rou reached out and held Song Lin’s chin. “Fine, Li Li, I’ll give you a chance to take revenge..”
Chapter 459: 459 Xu Yan, Say It
Xu Yan, Say It
Song Lin refused to drink the disinfectant. Moreover, the disinfectant did not smell like disinfectant at all. Instead, it smelled like the sewer.
“I’m not drinking…” Song Lin’s jaw was dislocated, so he couldn’t speak clearly. He kept rubbing against the wall of the toilet, wanting to climb over it. However, his legs were also tied up by Tan Rou. This was the only way that he could save himself.
“You’d better drink it obediently!” Li Li scooped up a soapbox of dirty water and poured it into Song Lin’s mouth. Song Lin didn’t want to drink it, but he was forced to. The water not only smelled bad, but it was also a little salty, as if it had been sprinkled with salt.
In fact, there was indeed salt inside. The cleaning lady would use salt to kill bacteria. Although she didn’t use much, Song Lin could still taste it.
“Ugh!!!!” Song Lin couldn’t drink it and spat it out after a few mouthfuls.
Tan Rou reached out and pressed on his body, and Song Lin stopped vomiting. Li Li continued to feed him water. She fed him a third of the bucket of black water, and Song Lin drank about a tenth.
Even a sip of this kind of thing could make people collapse, let alone Song Lin who had drunk so much.
“That’s enough!!!!” Li Li had enough as well. “1 don’t want to feed you anymore. I’m going to throw up if 1 continue doing so.”
“Alright.” Tan Rou was only here to avenge Li Li. If Li Li was done with her revenge, she wouldn’t say much. “Let’s go first.”
Xu Yan ran over and told them, “The principal is here. He should be here to inspect the classroom. He’ll be here soon. Let Song Lin go first.”
Tan Rou crossed her arms and was not afraid at all. “So what if he catches me here. Song Lin made the first move!”
Xu Yan choked and said, “Isn’t it good that you can get away safely?””
“No.” Tan Ron’s attitude was very firm. “I’m going to fight Song Lin to the end today.”
“Why aren’t you guys home yet?” The principal saw these students from afar. When he went upstairs, these students had not left, so he came over to ask them a few questions.
When he walked to the toilet between the male and female toilets, the principal heard the wailing inside.
The principal frowned. “What are you guys doing?” These were the top students in their third year of high school, especially Tan Rou and Lu Qing. They were ranked first and second respectively, so he didn’t want to be so strict with them.
“Help, help!” Song Lin squirmed out. His entire body was covered in dirty black water. His originally blue and white school uniform had now turned black.
The principal was shocked and raised his voice. “What’s going on?”
Li Li came out of the female toilet crying. “Principal, you have to help me!”
The principal really had a headache. Why did another one appear?
Song Lin and Li Li complained to the principal. The principal’s head was buzzing. He made a ‘pause’ gesture and scolded, “Stop arguing!” He looked at Xu Yan. “You’re the class monitor, right? Come, tell me what happened.”
Xu Yan glanced at Tan Rou, then at Song Lin and Li Li. “Sir. The thing that happened was that after filling in the information in the office, 1 was ready to go home. When I came back to pack my bag, I suddenly met Lu Qing. He anxiously told me that our classmate Li Li had been locked in the toilet by Song Lin.”
The principal looked at Song Lin, who was standing at the entrance of the female washroom, and he was furious. “You’re a boy. How can you go to the female washroom?”
“I didn’t…” Song Lin didn’t enter the female toilet at all. If Tan Rou hadn’t dragged him in, he wouldn’t even know what the female toilet looked like.
“Principal, 1’11 continue.” Xu Yan’s tone was still calm. He just gave a simple description. “After that, Tan Rou found out and came to save Li Li. Not only did Song Lin do it himself, but he also brought a few hooligans from outside the school. They had just left.”
” Principal,” Li Li added while crying, “1 just wanted to use the toilet, but I was caught by those hooligans. They covered my mouth, tied me to the toilet, and poured disinfectant on me. I don’t know how I’ve offended Song Lin. He actually found so many hooligans to bully me!”
“Song Lin, is that true?” The principal glared at him and asked.
Song Lin finally managed to move. The dirty water in his stomach made him feel very uncomfortable. “Principal, I ended up being beaten by them too! Look, I’m also covered in dirty water..”
Chapter 460: 46 Everyone Is Snitching
The principal looked at Lu Qing and Xu Yan and asked, “Did you two kidnap him?”
The two of them shook their heads together. “Principal, we didn’t do anything.”
It wasn’t that the two of them didn’t want to make a move, but they didn’t even have the chance to do so. Tan Rou had taken care of everything by herself. If it were the two of them, even if they worked together, they might not be able to subdue Song Lin.
Tan Rou stood up and said, “Principal, it was me. I was the one who got Song Lin and the water. It has nothing to do with them.”
Li Li also straightened her back and said, “Principal, I’m also a part of it. If you want to punish me, just punish me. Don’t blame Tan Rou. She did this for me. If Tan Rou hadn’t come to save me, I would have been killed by Song Lin.”
“Principal, I didn’t do anything to her,” Song Lin said. “I just wanted to teach her a lesson. Besides, I was already prepared to let her go home…”
“Song Lin, as a boy, you don’t even have the courage to take responsibility for your actions?!”
The principal was very angry and interrupted Song Lin’s quibble. “The two girls resisted to protect themselves, but not only did you start the fight, but you also didn’t dare to take responsibility. Are you even a man?” He could not stand such a heartless person.
Lu Qing and Xu Yan were also a little embarrassed. The two men had not helped at all.
“Don’t say it here.” The principal was so angry that he was about to have high blood pressure. “Go to the office!”
Song Lin’s stomach hurt. There was still so much dirty water in his stomach that he couldn’t walk.
The principal asked the two boys present to help him walk. Xu Yan was a bit of a clean freak and didn’t want to touch the dirty Song Lin. Although Lu Qing wasn’t that obsessed with cleanliness, he didn’t want to help Song Lin up either.
Tan Rou grabbed Song Lin by the back of his neck and dragged him downstairs. Song Lin’s socks were almost worn off.
The principal coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment. “You two are too much. Don’t let girls do everything. Besides, what are you two being so pretentious about? Afraid of getting dirty? Is it that bad?”
“Principal, it’s really very dirty. The water is used to wash the mop and that mop is usually used to clean the toilet. Some very smelly human excrement will stick to the mop.”
“What is human excrement?” The principal was old and couldn’t keep up with the times.
“It’s just feces and urine.” Xu Yan whispered.
The principal imagined the scene of mopping the toilet and felt nauseous. “You kids are ridiculous!”
When they reached the office, Song Lin could not move anymore. He sat on the floor and talked to them. The principal wanted him to sit on the chair, but when he thought of the disgusting dirty water, he swallowed his words.
“Tell me, what exactly happened. Li Li, you go first. I just learned that you’re the first victim.”
“Principal, actually, I don’t know why Song Lin wanted to find those people to mess with me.” Li Li pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, “A while ago, Song Lin kept delivering breakfast to Tan Rou. Tan Rou made it clear that she didn’t need it. He even kept harassing her. I can’t stand it anymore so I told Song Lin to stop being annoying and affecting our studies. Then, Song Lin scolded me and said that he wanted to take revenge on me.”
“I didn’t!” Song Lin argued, “I was just casually saying that I didn’t want to take revenge on her!”
“So you got someone to lock Li Li in the toilet on a whim?” The principal’s eyes were cold. “Do you think it’s fun to lock someone in the toilet?”
Song Lin stammered for a long time before saying, “Principal, I know 1 was wrong.”
“Do you know how bad your behavior is?” The principal slammed the table and said, “First of all, it’s wrong for you to harass a female student by sending things. Secondly, it’s against the rules for you to bring a hooligan into our school. Also, do you know how bad the consequences of bullying a female student will be?”
“They took revenge on me too,” Song Lin said. “They were the ones who did this to me!”
He was too ashamed to say that he had been forced to drink dirty water by these two girls. Moreover, if others found out that he had drunk toilet water, how would he face others in the future?
“Do you know your mistake?” The principal’s tone softened a little. “Tan Rou, Li Li, you can’t use such an extreme method when you encounter something. If you encounter a problem, you have to tell the teacher…”
“Principal, school time is over and the teacher has already gone home.. Plus, have you ever thought that if we didn’t wait for Li Li today, would she have to stay in the school toilet for a few hours? Do you think it’s really useful to look for a teacher after the incident?”
