Ch. 651..660

Chapter 651: 651 Detoxification

 

 

The Tao family surrounded her and asked her if she was feeling unwell. They even asked if she was hungry and if she wanted to eat something.

Tan Rou was not hungry. She had eaten all the food that her family sent in every day. Moreover, Zhuang Liu would send her snacks from time to time. Not only was she not hungry, but sometimes she even ate too much. She couldn’t come out to run in the laboratory, so she had gained a few pounds.

“Sister didn’t keep her word. i finished all my homework, but Sister didn’t come out.” Tao Qi complained.

Tan Rou pulled her brother to her side and said apologetically, “Xiao Qi, I’m sorry. I wanted to come out earlier, but I couldn’t come out at the critical moment of the experiment. How about this, I’ll take a few days to accompany you to do the questions to make up for your marks, okay?”

Tao Qi didn’t mind doing the questions. He only cared that his sister could accompany him. “Then, let’s make a pinky promise.”

Tan Rou extended her pinky and made a promise. After she ticked, Tan Rou thanked her family for their help over the past few days.

“We’re a family,” Grandma Tao said. “There’s no need to be so polite. Grandma has prepared a lot of new dresses for you. Do you want to try them on with Grandma now?”

Tan Rou shook the antidote that she had just developed. “Grandma, I’ll try the dress again when I come back. I have to go out and do something now.”

They didn’t know why Tan Rou was in the laboratory, so they didn’t stop her. They only asked if she would be back for dinner.

Tan Rou smiled and said, “I will be back for dinner. 1 want to eat the braised lion’s head that Auntie made. There’s also steamed bass.”

Mrs. Tao was very happy. “I’ll get the kitchen to prepare dinner immediately.”

After saying that, Tan Rou and Tao Zhi drove to Zhuang Liu’s place. She had to send the antidote over as soon as possible.

Tao Zhi was very jealous of Zhuang Liu. Why did his sister have to give the antidote to Zhuang Liu’s father as soon as she came out of the laboratory? Moreover, during the time in the laboratory, her sister did not say that she missed him. This made him feel like a failure as an older brother.

Therefore, Young Master Tao was very unhappy along the way. Tan Rou was busy detoxifying Zhuang Liu’s father and did not notice her brother’s emotions.

When they arrived at Zhuang Liu’s villa, Tao Zhi’s mood suddenly improved. It turned out that Zhuang Liu was not at home at all and missed the opportunity to meet Tan Rou at the first opportunity.

Shen Jing was very surprised to see Tan Rou. No one had told her that Tan Rou would come today, so she did not prepare anything.

“Xiao Rou, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? 1 could have prepared something for you in advance.” Shen Jing greeted her with a smile. “You and Brother sit here for a while. I’ll call Zhuang Liu now.”

“Auntie, don’t call Third Brother. Let’s go and check on Uncle Zhuang. I’ve made the antidote,” Tan Rou stopped him, “I’ll go cure him now.”

Shen Jing was stunned. “Rourou, did you really make the antidote?”

Tao Zhi looked at Shen Jing’s expression and felt that she was quite pitiful.

First, her son was poisoned and paralyzed, and then her husband was poisoned and unconscious. If she had not been strong, she would have collapsed long ago.

“Yes.” Tan Rou didn’t say anything else. “Let’s go upstairs to detoxify Uncle Zhuang first.”

Shen Jing wiped her moist eyes and said happily, “Sure! Let’s go now.”

Zhuang Yan had been unconscious for too long, so he could not eat on his own. Therefore, Tan Rou made the antidote into liquid and mixed it into the nutrient solution to detoxify Zhuang Yan.

“This is the remaining potion.” Tan Rou handed the potion to Shen Jing. “If Uncle Zhuang wakes up, you can give him the potion directly. If he didn’t wake up, she would still use this method to detoxify him.”

Since there was no chance to test the antidote, Tan Rou divided the antidote into many portions. Once there was an adverse reaction, she could quickly adjust the prescription and reformulate the antidote. However, she believed that there was no problem with this potion.

Tan Rou and Tao Zhi didn’t stay long. They had promised Mother Tao that they would go back for dinner, so they had to go back on time.

When they went downstairs, they met Zhuang Liu who had rushed back. Zhuang Liu was covered in sweat. It was obvious that he had just returned.

“Fortunately… Fortunately, 1 made it in time. The car broke down halfway, so 1 ran back.” Zhuang Liu panted. Shen Jing still sent him a message secretly.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Tan Rou said with some heartache.

Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Rou and said, “I want to hear you say that you miss me with my own ears..”

 

Chapter 652: 652 Quickly Go See Your Dad

 

 

Tan Ron glanced at her brother beside her and then at Zhuang Liu in front of her. She said awkwardly, “I didn’t miss you.”

Zhuang Liu was anxious. “Didn’t you ask Aunt Zhou to tell me that you missed me?”

Tan Ron’s ears turned red. She had only said that casually. She did not expect Aunt Zhou to really tell Zhuang Liu about it. It was really too embarrassing.

“It’s nothing. Don’t say it.” Tan Ron secretly observed her brother’s expression. She would say it, but she didn’t want to say such mushy words in front of her brother.

Tao Zhi simply couldn’t hear. He didn’t know that Zhuang Liu was so thick-skinned that he would take the initiative to say such mushy words. He covered his ears and said to Tan Rou, “Rourou, I’ll go out and get the car first. Come and find me after you’re done talking. Mom wants us to go back early.”

“Yes, I understand.” Tan Rou nodded.

After Tao Zhi left, Tan Ron’s nervousness eased up a lot. Shen Jing was also upstairs taking care of Zhuang Yan, so she could talk to Zhuang Liu for a while.

“I’ve missed you so much.” Zhuang Liu said affectionately. This was the first time they had been separated for so long since they had known each other. Even back then, one of them was in the capital, and the other was in school. They met once a week.

Tan Rou pursed her lips and said gently, “1 miss you too, Third Brother.”

They hugged each other and separated at the touch.

“I just gave uncle some medicine. There are twenty-one portions in total and you need to use it for twenty-one days. The antidote will take effect today and he should wake up in three days at the latest.” Tan Rou told Zhuang Liu about the things to take note of. “After Uncle wakes up, you can let him take the antidote directly. It’ll be faster that way.”

Zhuang Liu took note of them one by one, but he was still not satisfied. “Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

Tan Rou thought that he was talking about taking care of the solemn details, so she added, “When Uncle wakes up, you have to inform me immediately. I’ll come over and formulate a treatment and diet plan for him according to his condition. His stomach is relatively weak, so we can’t let him eat directly.”

Zhuang Liu didn’t want to hear this. “1 want to hear something else. Other than missing me, is there anything else you want to say to me?”

Even if Tan Rou had something to say, she couldn’t say it now. She said, “There’s nothing else to say. Go and see your father. My brother is still waiting for me outside.”

Zhuang Liu was a little disappointed. He had been missing Tan Rou every minute and every second these days. Even when he slept, she was always in his dreams. He had wanted to wait for Tan Rou to come out and have a good talk with her to ease his longing, but Tan Rou had nothing to say to him.

“Yes.” Zhuang Liu said, “You should head home first. i’ll go see my father.”

Tan Rou looked at the sad expression on his face and suddenly smiled. “i haven’t had dinner with my family in a long time. My mother asked someone to prepare a lot of dishes for me to go back for dinner tonight. I’ll just head home and be with them for today. I’ll meet you tomorrow.”

Zhuang Liu’s eyes lit up. “Okay, then we’ll see you tomorrow.”

On the road outside, Tao Zhi was already waiting for Tan Rou. He was watching the news while waiting. When Tan Rou came in, he happened to see a piece of news about the Zhuang family.

“How’s the old man of the Zhuang family recently?” Tao Zhi asked casually.

Tan Rou was taken aback. “Why did Big Brother ask about his situation?”

She had also gone to see Old Master Zhuang, but Old Master Zhuang seemed to have reached the end of his life and could not turn back. His health was probably not good to begin with. After the encounter with his third son and then falling down, the old man never recovered from the blow.

“I just happened to see a report about the Zhuang family, so 1 was just asking.” Tao Zhi said.

“Old Master Zhuang’s condition is not good. It seems like it’s fated.” Tan Rou said emotionally. “I can’t save him.”

Tao Zhi patted Tan Ron’s shoulder and comforted her. “This isn’t your problem. Doctors can’t save all patients. Birth and death can’t be stopped.”

“I just hope that Uncle Zhuang can wake up soon so that he can see Grandpa Zhuang one last time.” Tan Rou sighed.

“Yes.” Tao Zhi started the car. “Let’s go back quickly. Dad and Mom are still waiting for us for dinner.”

Tan Rou fastened her seatbelt. “Let’s go home..”

 

Chapter 653: 653 New Student

 

 

Just as Tan Rou had said, Zhuang Yan woke up on the third day. Zhuang Yan, who had just woken up, could not speak. He could only blink a few times and make a hoarse voice.

Because she knew in advance that Zhuang Yan would wake up anytime, Shen Jing did not dare to leave Zhuang Yan for a moment these few days. She carefully wiped Zhuang Yan’s body, hoping that he would wake up cleanly.

As she wiped, Shen Jing felt that the range of his hands was very large. She stared at his hands and realized that it was not her imagination.

Not only did he move his hand, but his arm also moved subconsciously. Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

Shen Jing immediately went to close the curtains. A patient who had been sleeping for a long time could not see the bright light, lest the bright light hurt his eyes.

“Yan, can you hear me?” Shen Jing quickly returned to the bedside and asked softly, “All Yan, it’s me, Jingjing. Can you hear me?”

The solemn consciousness was still not awake. He could hear Shen Jing talking to him, but he could not tell what Shen Jing said. If he had known earlier, this person was very close to him.

“Yan, are you done?” Tears welled up in Shen Jing’s eyes. She immediately wiped them away with the back of her hand, afraid that they would fall on Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan couldn’t answer her. He could only use slow movements to tell Shen Jing that he was still alive.

Shen Jing grabbed his hand that was about to lift up. “I’ll call Xiao Liu immediately and tell him that you’re awake. And Rourou, do you know who she is? She’s your future daughter-in-law, the person who treated you. Our family survived because of her!”

Zhuang Yan could only blink in response to Shen Jing. He hoped that Shen Jing would stop crying, but he could not say anything.

When Zhuang Liu came back, Shen Jing was massaging Zhuang Yan’s body. After waking up for a while, Zhuang Yan’s complexion was much better than before. He could also make a few simple syllables.

“Dad!” Zhuang Liu was very excited. “You’re finally awake!”

Looking solemnly at his son who could stand up, surprise appeared on his face. “Ah…”

He couldn’t speak yet, but his vocal cords weren’t damaged. He would be able to speak after a while.

“Dad, don’t be anxious. If you have anything to say, tell us after you recover.” Zhuang Liu held his solemn hand. “Now that you’re awake, we have plenty of opportunities to talk in the future.”

Zhuang Yan blinked his eyes, indicating that he agreed with Zhuang Liu.

Shen Jing reminded Zhuang Liu, “Xiao Liu, go and call Rourou. I was too busy taking care of your father to call her. You have to thank them properly. If possible, when your father recovers, we’ll treat them to a meal.”

Zhuang Liu took out his phone. “Okay, I’ll go out and make a call now.”

After he left, Shen Jing turned around and said to Zhuang Yan, “Ah Yan, Rourou is actually our son’s girlfriend now. She is a very outstanding girl. Our son’s leg and your life were saved by her. Once you’ve recovered, we will personally visit them to thank them. We should start thinking about their marriage.”

He smiled solemnly and placed his hand on Shen Jing’s palm. He pressed it gently, indicating that he agreed with Shen Jing’s words.

Shen Jing was overjoyed and told Zhuang Yan a lot about Tan Rou. She had not spoken to Zhuang Yan for so many years, so she wanted to tell him everything at once.

Zhuang Yan also liked listenina to her talk. When he was unconscious, he was like a bird locked in a cage. The cage was covered with an impervious cloth. He shouted desperately in the cage, but he could not make a sound, and the thick cloth had never been opened.

The solemnity now was like a bird that had been reborn. He could once again soar under the blue sky, talk to the people he cared about, and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

On the other side, Tan Rou was also very happy when she learned that Zhuang Yan had woken up. She packed up her first aid kit and was about to go over to see Zhuang Yan.

“Xiao Rou, where are we going now?aDo you want the driver to send you?” Mrs. Tao asked curiously when she saw her carrying the first aid kit. Tan Rou said happily, “I’m going to Third Brother Zhuang’s house to visit Uncle Zhuang. He just woke up. 1 have to rush over to check on him.”

When Mother Tao heard that Zhuang Liu’s father had woken up, she was also very happy. “That’s great! I’ll also prepare a gift to visit him some other day.”

Tan Rou had no objections. However, she reminded Tan Rou, “Don’t go for now. Uncle Zhuang has just woken up. He must have a lot to tell his family.”

Mother Tao felt that it made sense, so she decided to hold off that plan..

 

Chapter 654: 654 Death

 

 

When Tan Ron arrived, Zhuang Yan happened to be resting. He couldn’t stay awake for too long now. He would have to go back to sleep soon. Shen Jing was worried that he wouldn’t wake up again, so she didn’t dare to let him sleep. However, he would be sleepy, which made her very troubled.

“Let uncle sleep. Uncle is like a newborn baby now. Babies can’t adapt to the outside world, so they need to sleep more. Uncle is in the same situation. As long as he continues to take the antidote, the poison in his body will be expelled and he fall unconscious again.”

Shen Jing’s worried heart finally relaxed when she heard what Tan Rou said. “Thank you, Rourou. I’m sorry that 1 had to trouble you to come all the way here on such a hot day.”

Then, she took out an ancient square box. “This is a little gift from Auntie. Please accept it.”

Tan Rou could roughly guess what was inside, but she could not accept it. Although she had saved Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Liu had also given her a lot of medical fees, so she could not accept Shen Jing’s gift.

“Third brother has already given me a lot of consultation fees, so 1 can’t accept this gift.” Tan Rou declined.

Shen Jing insisted on giving it to Tan Rou, but Tan Rou refused to accept it. Shen Jing thought about it and decided to give this gift to Zhuang Liu for Tan Rou.

“Why isn’t Third Brother at home?” Tan Rou looked left and right but did not see Zhuang Liu. It was Zhuang Liu who had called to invite her over just now.

Shen Jing said, “He also wanted to stay at home and wait for you, but something urgent happened at the company and he had to go back immediately, so he went back first. Stay for dinner tonight. He’ll definitely be back.”

Tan Rou remembered that she had an appointment to have dinner with Grandma tonight. “Auntie, I’m really sorry. 1 have an appointment with Grandma tonight, so I can’t stay.”

Shen Jing could understand. “Is that so? Then let’s meet again next time.”

However, the next time they met was at Old Master Zhuang’s funeral.

Zhuang Yan had just woken up, but Old Master Zhuang’s condition was not good. After finding out that Old Master Zhuang was sick, Zhuang Yan insisted on visiting his father.

After seeing Zhuang Yan, Old Master Zhuang’s condition seemed to have improved. He was very energetic every day. He kept talking to Zhuang Yan as if someone was urging him.

“Dad…Tell me slowly…” His solemn pronunciation was not very accurate.

When Old Master Zhuang heard Zhuang Yan call him ‘father’, he felt as if he had returned to the year when Zhuang Yan had just learned how to speak. At that time, he was still young, and his wife was hugging Zhuang Yan, who had called him’ father’.

“Good, good, good!” Old Master Zhuang saying that three times in a row and then smiled. “Now that you’re better, I can go and see your mother without worry. She’s been urging me for a long time.”

Solemn tears rolled down her cheeks. “Dad… Dad…”

Old Master Zhuang exhaled and slowly closed his eyes.

The ward was instantly filled with tears. The doctors and nurses all left, leaving the Zhuang family alone. They were used to seeing death and had long been numb to death in the hospital.

Zhuang Liu did not cry loudly. He just stood at the side and cried silently. He remembered his grandfather’s love for him in his heart. If possible, he also wanted his grandfather to live a few more years. If he had known earlier, he would have secretly resolved the matter of Zhuang Shang and his son so that his grandfather would not be troubled.

After that, it was time to organize Old Master Zhuang’s funeral. Old Master Zhuang was very influential, and many people came to attend. Tan Rou also came with her parents.

After offering incense to Old Master Zhuang, Tan Rou wanted to see Zhuang Liu. Old Master Zhuang loved Zhuang Liu so much, so Zhuang Liu must be very sad now.

However, she did not see Zhuang Liu after looking around. Under normal circumstances, Zhuang Liu should have been guarding Old Master Zhuang’s coffin, but Zhuang Liu was not here.

Tan Rou looked around but did not find Zhuang Liu. Instead, she found Xiao Mo, who was dressed in a black suit. Xiao Mo was receiving guests. As Zhuang Liu’s personal assistant, Xiao Mo could be considered half a member of the Zhuang family. Moreover, when Old Master Zhuang was alive, he treated Xiao Mo very well.

“Xiao Mo, have you seen your Third Young Master?” Tan Rou walked over and asked.

Xiao Mo replied, “Third Young Master said that he needed to go to the toilet, but he hasn’t returned yet. He must have been held back by someone.”

“Thank you, I’ll go look for it..”

 

Chapter 655: 655 Marriage at the Funeral

 

 

From afar, Tan Ron could see Zhuang Liu standing at the flower bed outside. However, he was not standing there alone. The eldest daughter of the Meng family, Meng Si, was also there.

Didn’t this woman say that she would not pester Zhuang Liu anymore? Why did he come back? Tan Rou was puzzled.

She didn’t walk over directly. Instead, she hid behind a pillar beside the flower bed, wanting to wait for them to finish talking before going over. She could hear what they were saying from this position, and the other party could not see her.

“Xiao Liu, don’t be too sad about Grandpa Zhuang. The dead can’t be brought back to life. Don’t hurt yourself because of this.” Meng Si consoled me.

“Miss Meng, your words are really interesting. My grandfather has just passed away,” Zhuang Liu said angrily.

“You want me not to be sad? Is that possible?”

Meng Si paused. “1 just wanted to comfort you. I didn’t mean anything else.”

Zhuang Liu didn’t want to bother with her. He still had to go back to the wake. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have come to the toilet here to solve his physiological problems. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been pestered by Meng Si.

Meng Si looked at Zhuang Liu’s handsome face and tall figure, and her heart thumped. Only someone like Zhuang Liu was worthy of her. The ugly young master of the Yuan Family couldn’t even compare to Zhuang Liu’s finger.

“Xiao Liu, I’ve already broken off the engagement with the Yuan Family. You know that I’ve always liked you, so I still want to be with you.” Meng Si blushed. “And my grandfather has already agreed to our marriage. He said that as long as you’re willing, we can get married at any time.”

After Meng Si broke off the engagement, she immediately told Old Master Meng that she wanted to marry Zhuang Liu. Initially, Old Master Meng did not agree to their marriage because of Zhuang Liu’s leg injury. Now that Zhuang Liu’s leg had recovered and he had managed the Zhuang family’s business so well within half a year, Old Master Meng was very satisfied, so he agreed to let Meng Si marry Zhuang Liu.

However, Zhuang Liu did not even look at her. Every time Meng Si came to look for Zhuang Liu, she would be stopped by the security guard at the door. He even said that if she harassed the owner again, he would call the police. Meng Si had no choice but to go to the company to look for Zhuang Liu, but she was still stopped by the security guards.

This time, Old Master Zhuang’s death gave her a chance. Usually, the security guards could stop her, but today, when she came to mourn Old Master Zhuang, could the security guards stop her? Hence, she successfully entered the Zhuang family’s old residence and met Zhuang Liu.

Zhuang Liu didn’t say a word. He didn’t want to talk to a retard. It would lower his IQ. Furthermore, Meng Si was really an interesting person. It was the Yuan Family who had taken the initiative to break off the engagement after they looked down on her. How did Meng Si end up breaking off the engagement with the Yuan Family?

People outside said that Meng Si was very smart and had a good business mind, but Zhuang Liu thought that she was stupid. This woman was not any smarter than her silly sister.

“Liu, why aren’t you saying anything?” Meng Si didn’t get a response from Zhuang Liu for a long time. She thought that he didn’t understand, so she repeated, “Did you hear what 1 just said? My grandfather has already agreed to our marriage. As long as you agree, we can get engaged and get married immediately.”

Zhuang Liu only wanted to chase this woman out, but today was not the day for him to do so.

“Miss Meng, do you know what day it is today?” Tan Rou saw the impatient expression on Zhuang Liu’s face, so she came out to help Zhuang Liu. “Do you see what was hanging in front of the Zhuang family’s door?”

When Meng Si saw Tan Rou, she said angrily, “Why is it you again? Why are you eavesdropping on us?”

“Miss Meng, you’re talking so loudly. Why are you afraid that others will hear you?” Tan Rou sneered.

“What does it have to do with you? Get lost!” Meng Si said angrily.

Zhuang Liu was about to speak, but he was stopped by Tan Rou. Tan Rou gave him a look, meaning to let her solve it.

“I still have the same question. Do you know what day it is today?” Tan Rou said, “Today is Grandpa Zhuang’s funeral. The entire Zhuang family is holding a funeral, but you are here talking about your marriage. Aren’t you afraid that others will stab you in the back?”

“I…” Meng Si didn’t think too much about it. She just wanted to tell Zhuang Liu the good news. “It’s none of your business. Get lost.”

“You’re the one who should leave!” Zhuang Liu couldn’t help but say, “Don’t behave atrociously at my grandfather’s funeral!”

 

Chapter 656:656 Zhuang Liu Made A Move

 

 

Meng Si was extremely happy. She said fiercely to Tan Ron, “Did you hear that? Xiao Liu told you to get lost, so get lost quickly!”

Tan Rou couldn’t be bothered to talk to a fool. She walked straight to Zhuang Liu and took his hand. “Let’s go back first. We still need you to keep watch over there.”

Zhuang Liu didn’t say anything and let her hold his hand.

When Meng Si saw this, she was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. “What right do you have to hold his hand? Let go of him!” As she spoke, she wanted to take Tan Ron’s hand away and put her hand on Zhuang Liu’s.

Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou quietly moved to the side. Meng Si missed and fell into the flower bed, almost scratching her face that had been meticulously groomed countless times.

“What are you trying to do?” Meng Si touched her face and didn’t find any wounds, so she looked for Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou to settle the score. “Why are you two holding hands?”

Tan Rou held Zhuang Liu’s hand tightly and asked, “Can’t you tell what we mean?”

“Let go of your hands!” Meng Si ordered, “1 won’t allow you to hold hands!”

Tan Rou raised her and Zhuang Liu’s hands and emphasized, “Miss Meng, you’d better take a good look. This isn’t holding hands. It’s an intimate way of holding hands. Do you get what we mean now?”

Meng Si was puzzled. Why would Zhuang Liu be with that hypocritical bitch Tan Rou? Tan Rou must have seduced Zhuang Liu by relying on her good looks. She had to save Zhuang Liu.

She said angrily, “I won’t allow you to hold hands, nor will I allow you to be together! Xiao Liu is mine. He can only marry me.”

Then, she asked Zhuang Liu bitterly, “Xiao Liu, you must have been deceived by this b*tch, right? Don’t believe her words, don’t…”

“Don’t say anymore!” Zhuang Liu interrupted Meng Si impatiently. “Stop acting crazy and leave our house quickly. If you don’t leave now, I’ll ask the security guards to chase you out.”

“You want to chase me out?” Meng Si couldn’t believe it. “We’ve been classmates for many years, and you’re actually chasing me out because of this b*tch! Zhuang Liu, you’ve really changed!”

“If you dare to call me a slut again, I’ll tear your mouth apart!” Zhuang Liu became ruthless.

“I want to say, Tan Rou, you b*tch…” Meng Si didn’t believe this.

“Pa-”

The loud slap made Tan Ron’s eyes widen. She thought that Zhuang Liu only wanted to give Meng Si a verbal warning. She didn’t expect Zhuang Liu to actually hit Meng Si.

Meng Si covered her face. “Zhuang Liu, you actually hit me?”

“I told you, if you dare to curse again, I will tear your mouth apart. The slap just now was just a warning. 1 hope you know your place and don’t make me hit you again.” Zhuang Liu said coldly.

“Xiao Liu, we’re the most suitable couple. I’m pretty, and you’re handsome. In high school, someone said that we’re the most compatible couple.” Meng Si covered her face and said.

Zhuang Liu said, “I didn’t even know who you were in high school, so don’t harass me anymore.”

“Miss Meng, I’ve think you’ve said enough. If you continue to stay here, you will only embarrass yourself.” Tan Rou said, “If I were you, I would find a place to hide and not stay here and be a nuisance.”

Meng Si glared at Tan Rou angrily and said to Zhuang Liu, “Xiao Liu, you’ll definitely regret choosing Tan Rou. This woman always likes to hook up with other men. When she was in high school, she went to get a room with another man. In the future, when the two of you are together, she won’t be loyal to you!”

If Meng Si hadn’t mentioned it, Tan Rou would have forgotten about Tan Jing spreading rumors about her. At that time, Tan Jing had spread rumors that she was a kept woman and even went to a hotel with her. Although the matter had been resolved, there were still people gossiping behind her back. From time to time, they would bring up this matter.

Perhaps when she got engaged to Zhuang Liu, she would be able to make public what happened at the hotel that year.

“Get out!” Zhuang Liu clenched his fists tightly. “Meng Si, if you dare to spout nonsense here again, I’ll definitely not just slap you!”

Meng Si was a little afraid that Zhuang Liu would ruin her face. “I… I’m telling the truth. You’ll definitely regret it in the future!”

“Security? Where’s the security?” Zhuang Liu really couldn’t take it anymore. He shouted at the security guards, “Come and throw this woman out!”

Meng Si tidied up her makeup.. “I can walk on my own!”

 

Chapter 657: 657 I Don’t Have A Grandpa Anymore

 

 

After Meng Si left, Tan Ron immediately came over to check Zhuang Liu’s palm. “Third Brother, does your hand hurt? Meng Si, that fellow, had stabbed his face so many times that his face was extremely stiff. He must have hurt your hand, right?”

Zhuang Liu pretended to be in pain. “Rourou, blow on it. As long as you blow on it, it won’t hurt anymore.”

Tan Rou acquiesced to his childish behavior. “Alright, I’ll blow on your skin.”

“Don’t take Meng Si’s words to heart. i have nothing to do with her.” Zhuang Liu hurriedly distanced himself from Meng Si. He was worried that Tan Rou would misunderstand.

Tan Rou would not misunderstand him and Meng Si. She knew Meng Si very well, so she would not be angry with Zhuang Liu because of this. Instead, she would feel sorry for Zhuang Liu because of this.

“Don’t mind what she said. She hasn’t been doing well in her work and life recently. She’s probably depressed.” Tan Rou said, “However, you can’t find a second idiot who would talk about your own marriage at someone else’s grandfather’s funeral.”

“Let’s go back and guard grandfather’s spirit.” Zhuang Liu’s mood became a little low. “Have you offered incense to my grandfather?”

“Yes, I came to look for you after offering incense. My parents are here too. They’re talking to your parents.” Tan Rou said as she walked.

Normally, the parents of both parties would be meeting their parents, but this wasn’t the right time. They couldn’t reveal the situation, or else what difference would they have from Meng Si?

After three days, Grandpa Zhuang would be cremated and buried in the cemetery.

Tan Rou followed him all the way, but she did not take the same car as Zhuang Liu. Instead, she went to the funeral with someone else.

The weather in July was unpredictable. It was sunny yesterday, but it was raining heavily today. Tan Rou held an umbrella as she looked at the photo of the old man on the tombstone. She had only met Grandpa Zhuang a few times, but she heard from her parents and grandparents that Grandpa Zhuang was a very powerful person and very kind. Otherwise, he would not have adopted Zhuang Shang and handed the company to Zhuang Shang to manage. Unfortunately, Zhuang Shang had let her down.

The heavy rain was like the heavens crying. He was also lamenting how such a good person could suddenly die.

On the way back, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu shared a car while Xiao Mo drove.

Zhuang Liu suddenly hugged Tan Rou and muttered to himself in her arms, “Rourou, I don’t have a grandfather anymore.”

Tan Ron’s heart ached. Sometimes, the simplest sentence could reveal infinite pain. Others could not feel Zhuang Liu’s pain. Only he knew the impact of losing his grandfather.

Many people did not understand Zhuang Liu. They felt that it was unfilial of him not to shed a single tear at his grandfather’s funeral. However, people who were truly in extreme grief would not cry out loud. Whether it was Zhuang Yan or Zhuang Liu, they did not cry out loud. No one else could understand their pain.

“I know that you are very sad. There are no outsiders here now. If you want to cry, feel free to cry.” Tan Rou said softly.

Zhuang Liu smiled bitterly. “Why would I cry?” As soon as he finished speaking, his tears fell silently. “I know that people get sick and die. I’m not sad. I’m not sad at all…”

Xiao Mo wanted to say, ‘Third Young Master, don’t force yourself. If you want to cry, just cry.’ However, he couldn’t speak at this time.

Tan Rou gently caressed Zhuang Liu’s back and embraced his fragile side. Her business partners all said that Zhuang Liu was very strong, but no matter how strong a person was, they all had a fragile side, and Zhuang Liu was no exception.

The heavy rain outside finally stopped. A curved rainbow appeared in the sky. Tan Rou looked at the rainbow outside the window and said to Zhuang Liu, “Third Brother, do you think Grandpa Zhuang will be watching us from the rainbow bridge?”

Zhuang Liu also turned his gaze to rainbow. In a trance, he seemed to see an old man standing on rainbow Bridge. The old man waved at him and shook his head with a smile.

“Yes, he came back to see us.” Zhuang Liu held Tan Ron’s hand and said, “He said that he will bless us in heaven.”

Tan Rou smiled.” Thank you, Grandpa.” She deliberately changed the way she addressed him.

Zhuang Liu noticed the details and tightened his grip on Tan Ron’s hand.

Xiao Mo, who was driving, was a little depressed. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have been the driver..

 

 

Chapter 658: 658 School Begins

 

 

Meng Si saw the news on television that Zhuang Liu’s grandfather had been sent to the cemetery. She also saw Tan Ron in the news video. Although it was only one shot, that glance was enough to disgust her.

“Damn b*tch, you actually followed me to the cemetery. You don’t even know who you are and still want to be with Zhuang Liu. Tan Rou, I want you to die!” Meng Si cursed angrily.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and quickly dialed a number. “Hello, are you free recently? 1 want to buy some medicine from you, the same medicine as last time, but 1 want to buy ten times the dosage.”

The other party said something, and Meng Si immediately flew into a rage. “I don’t care. I want ten times the dosage. As long as I give you money, it’s fine. Don’t ask me where 1 used it.”

The other party seemed to have agreed. Meng Si hung up the phone and laughed loudly in her room. “Tan Rou, go to hell!”

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, nearly three months of vacation had passed. Tan Rou had officially become a university student.

Tan Rou and the other two were guaranteed admission to Capital University. Although Xu Yan was not guaranteed admission, he was admitted to the Physics Department of Capital University with his own abilities and was assigned to the same class as Tan Rou and the others.

Liang Lu also got into an undergraduate course, but not at Capital University. With her ability, she might be able to get into Capital University in her next life.

“Oh, so this is the Capital University.” Liang Lu was envious. “It’s many times bigger than our school.”

Their school was a second-tier university. It was not very good, but it was the furthest that Liang Lu could achieve. Plus, Liang Lu’s parents were very already extremely happy with it. They had thought that Liang Lu had no hope of studying. They did not expect her to be able to get into an undergraduate course. It was really surprising.

Li Li held Liang Lu’s arm. “Our school isn’t far away anyway. If you want to come and play with us, or if we want to go and play with you, we can go directly.”

Liang Lu said quietly, “Then 1’11 have to finish all the food in the school cafeteria. I’ll see if there’s more delicious food in each school.”

“You’re just like me, a foodie,” Li Li joked.

Liang Lu snorted. “People live for delicious food.” She did not forget her idol either. “And 1 want to be like my idol and be an outstanding person.”

Tan Rou chuckled. “You’re already very outstanding.”

“Quickly take me to see your school!” Liang Lu couldn’t wait any longer. “I’ve already finished touring my school. The school is too small, and there’s no fun place there.”

Lu Qing smiled and asked, “Do you want to resume your old career in this new place, recruit some people, and then become a big sister where you have a gang following you everywhere?”

Liang Lu put her hands on her hips. “What are you talking about? I’m a good student now. How can 1 go back to my old ways?”

Tan Rou looked at their interaction and knew that Liang Lu had given up on pursuing Lu Qing. Although she did not object to their family being together, Liang Lu’s personality did not match Lu Qing’s. They could be friends, but they would probably quarrel every day as a couple.

The few of them walked to the side of the campus. Two boys in a team and three girls in a team. They were all good-looking people, so wherever they went, they would be observed by others.

“Miss Rourou, Miss Rourou!” A very cute girl dashed in front of them.

Tan Rou thought that she looked very familiar. Just as she was wondering who she was, she saw the girl holding a piece of cake. “Miss Rourou, this is for you!”

Xu Yan was very vigilant. “Tan Rou, don’t eat food from strangers. Even if this is the Capital University, you can’t let your guard down.”

When she saw the cake, Tan Rou connected the girl in front of her with the girl in her memory. “Tian Tian?”

Tian Tian smiled brightly. “That’s great. You still remember me. I thought you didn’t remember me.” She blinked her big eyes like a cute guinea pig.

“Are you a new student too?” Tan Rou asked with a smile.

“Yes, I am. I’m from the Physics Department. What about you guys?”

“We are also students from the Physics Department.” Li Li said proudly.

Tian Tian’s eyes widened a little. “You guys are recommended students from the Physics Department. That’s amazing!”

Li Li scratched her head in embarrassment. “We’re not that great. Tan Rou is the only one here that’s actually incredible.”

Tian Tian nodded. “I’ve heard about Miss Rourou. She has become my idol.”

Tan Rou already had fangirls even before she started school. If this continued, she would become a celebrity..

 

Chapter 659: 659 Roommate Causing Trouble

 

 

“Have you guys been assigned to different dorms? I’ll see if you can stay with me.” Tian Tian asked.

Tan Rou said, “The dorms are arranged according to student number. What’s your student number?”

“22000123. What about you guys?” Tian Tian asked.

“The number at the front is the same as yours. The number at the back is 12.” Li Li said.

“I’m number 22, right in front of you. This student number should be arranged according to the first letter. We are all T, so we are very close.”

Tian Tian was very happy. “Then we should be able to stay in the same dormitory. Have you found a dormitory? I’ll bring you there.”

Tan Rou was here for reporting today. She didn’t bring her things over. Besides, she was going home to stay. She didn’t want to stay in the dormitory. To her, staying in the dormitory meant that she couldn’t do many things.

“Then let’s go to the dormitory to take a look.” Tan Rou didn’t want to let Tian Tian down.

The dormitory was a four-person room. Li Li lived in room 603, while Tan Rou was assigned to room 607, which was not far away. When they arrived at the dormitory, three beds were already occupied. Only the bed near the toilet was empty.

Tian Tian looked at them and said apologetically to Tan Rou, “1 should have saved a seat for you. Why don’t you sleep in my bed?”

Tan Rou was her idol. She could not let her idol sleep next to the toilet.

“There’s no need to change. I don’t mind this spot either.” Tan Rou wouldn’t be staying at the dormitory. Most of the time, she would still go home. If it wasn’t for the school’s requirement to have a bed, she wouldn’t even need this dormitory.

One of the other two girls was unhappy when she saw Tan Rou. It was her first time meeting Tan Rou, so why was she unhappy with Tan Rou? The reason was that Tan Rou was very beautiful. This girl was also considered a beauty but when standing next to Tan Rou, she was nothing.

“Since you came late, you can only stay there. You still want someone to change beds with you. Where did this delicate young miss come from?” The girl said in an unfriendly tone. “If you’re so delicate, then buy a house to live in. Why are you living in the dormitory?”

Tian Tian was a little angry. “What are you talking about? Rourou didn’t say that she wanted to change beds. I was the one who said that 1 wanted to give her my bed. What does this have to do with you?”

“Are you her maid?” The girl stood up. She was a little taller than Tian Tian and looked very oppressive. “1 don’t like people like you. If you’re only sticking to her because she’s pretty, be careful of how she might talk behind your back.” “Why are you so mean?” Tian Tian didn’t understand why this girl had such ill intentions. “It’s our own business to switch places. Moreover, Rourou said that there’s no need to change the bed. What are you blabbering about?”

“I reminded you out of kindness, but you still said that I was babbling. Do you have a conscience?” the girl shouted.

“Nini, stop talking. I’m going out to eat. Do you want to go with me?” The other girl who was making the bed couldn’t stand it anymore. She looked at Tan Rou and Tian Tian apologetically and said, “I’m sorry. You guys can change beds. We’ll leave for now.”

Nini was very dissatisfied with her attitude. “Chen Yao, why are you so polite to them? Because that girl was late. Why should she ask someone else to move?

Chen Yao looked at Tan Rou awkwardly and whispered, “Nini, let’s go eat. There won’t be any food left in the canteen.”

Nini refused to leave. Her family was very rich and she was the most pampered child in the family, so she had been spoiled and bossy since she was young. She never put others in her eyes. Usually, only others would listen to her words, but no one would go against her in front of her. If Nini didn’t vent her anger, she wouldn’t be able to keep up her reputation here in the dormitory.

“I’m not leaving. I came to this dormitory first. She should be the one leaving.” Nini said.

Tian Tian was furious. “Are you crazy? I was the one who said 1 wanted to change beds. It had nothing to do with Rourou. Besides, you said you came to the dormitory first. When I came, you weren’t even here yet. Can I ask you to leave? What a busybody

 

Chapter 660: 660 Violent Woman

 

 

“Who are you calling a busybody?” Nini couldn’t take it anymore. “1 was kind enough to help you, but you said 1 was meddling in your business. Are you blind or deaf?”

“It has nothing to do with you that 1 changed beds with Rourou. You’re the one who meddled in other people’s business. Moreover, you wanted to chase Rourou out. The beds here are all distributed by the school. If you have the ability, go find the counselor.” Tian Tian was fuming. She had never seen such a rude and arrogant person. She would never befriend someone like this.

“You dare to call me a dog?” Nini gritted her teeth. “Looks like I have to teach you a lesson today.””

As she spoke, Nini was about to hit Tian Tian. She was used to hitting people at home and no one had ever dared to stop her. The servants at home could only let her hit them.

“Who do you think you’re trying to hit?” Tan Rou stood in front of Tian Tian and grabbed Lannie’s hand, squeezing it tightly.

“All! It hurts!” Nini was in so much pain that her face was contorted. “Let go of me!”

Tan Rou tightened her grip. “Didn’t your parents teach you to be polite? Since they didn’t teach you well, I’ll teach you a lesson on their behalf today.” She grabbed Nini’s hand and lifted her up.

” Ah!” Nini screamed in pain from the dormitory. “Murder! Murder! Help!”

Chen Yao was frightened. She went forward and said, “This student, I’m really sorry. Nini usually has a bad temper. If she offended you today, can 1 apologize on her behalf? I’m really sorry!”

There were also five or six girls at the door who came over to watch. They were originally cleaning up the room, but they heard the screams from the dormitory next door, so they came over to take a look.

“Xiao Rou, what happened?” Li Li came over when she heard the scream. She didn’t even have time to put down the brushing cup in her hand.

Tan Rou turned around and glanced at Li Li before throwing Nini to the side. “I’m fine. I just met an annoying guy.””

“You violent tomboy!” Nini fell to the ground and cursed Tan Rou, “People like you should be beaten to death.”

Li Li couldn’t stand it when someone scolded Tan Rou. She rushed in and pointed at Nini. “Oh my god, you peasant spirit!!! Your makeup is like a ghost, it’s best not to go out at night, lest you scare people to death.”

Lannie hated it when people called her ugly. “You dare to call me ugly? I’m going to smash your mouth! Chen Yao, what are you still looking at?”

Chen Yao panicked and apologized profusely. “I’m really sorry. We’re all classmates in the future. Let’s not quarrel, okay?”

Tan Rou’s phone rang. It was Liang Lu asking them in the group if they were done and if they wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat.

“You guys can leave first.” Tan Rou said, “Li Li, put down your cup. We’ll meet up with you guys in the cafeteria.”

Li Li glared at Lannie. “I’m telling you, it’s not that I’m afraid of you today. If I were to rush to eat, if you meet our big sister next time, she would punch you into the wall.”

Tan Rou was amused by her. “Alright, don’t tell LuLu about this. Otherwise, she might really return to her old job and become a gangster again.”

“Tsk, who is it!” Li Li held the arm of her new friend. “Little Tian Tian, right? Let’s go eat together.”

Tian Tian also liked Li Li very much. She felt that Li Li was a very loyal person. Just now, they were scolded by Nini, and Li Li immediately helped them scold each other, so she decided to be good friends with Li Li.

“Don’t go!” Nini had yet to get up from the ground. Seeing that Tan Rou and the others were about to leave, she ordered Chen Yao to stop them.

Chen Yao didn’t listen to her orders. She squatted on the ground and helped Nini up.

The first thing Nini did after waking up was not to stop Tan Rou and the others, but to slap Chen Yao. “Chen Yao, how dare you disobey me? Do you want your parents to lose their jobs?”

Chen Yao bit her lips and lowered her head. “I’m sorry!”

Her parents were servants in Nini’s house. Although she grew up with Nini, Nini had always been high and mighty, and she was only a servant who listened to Nini’s orders.

“What use do 1 have for a trash who only knows how to apologize?” Nini said angrily, “Useless, big useless!”
