Chapter 681: 681 Strange Girl

 

 

“Just you wait. I’ll gather the money as soon as possible!” Nini couldn’t let her parents know that she was going to pay compensation. Otherwise, they would definitely come over and give her a good scolding. They might even ask her not to go to school.

Li Li and Tian Tian came out of the infirmary and clapped happily. “Hehe, after she pays the money, we can go buy some fruits to eat.”

“Let’s go find Rourou. Go back and rest for a while at noon. There’s still military training in the afternoon.”

Li Li looked around for Tan Rou. “Why isn’t Rourou waiting for us outside?” Did she go back first?”

Tian Tian took out her phone. “I’ll send her a message.”

Tan Rou quickly replied to her, saying that she still had something to deal with and asked Li Li and the others to go back and rest.

“Then let’s go first.” Li Li wouldn’t ask too much about Tan Rou. She knew that Tan Rou had a lot of secrets that she couldn’t let others know. As Tan Ron’s good friend, she had to help Tan Rou cover up. “Rourou will definitely come back to rest after she’s done with her business.”

The two girls chatted and laughed as they walked towards the door. As they walked, they realized that something was wrong. It seemed that someone was following them.

Li Li said warily, “Tiantian, 1 think someone is following us. You go first. I’ll see if that person will continue following us.”

“Yes, alright.” Tian Tian continued walking forward.

Li Li, on the other hand, dashed into the campus supermarket next door to observe if anyone was following them.

Suddenly, a white-clothed man wearing a cap and a mask appeared behind Tian Tian. He was about five to six meters away from her. The weather was very hot, but that person was wearing a hat and a mask. It was obvious that he was not a good person.

After they had gone far away, Li Li quietly followed them. She grabbed the person’s neck. The person was weaker than she had imagined. He fell down before she could do anything.

“Aiya, why did this person faint before I even made a move?” Li Li looked at her hands in shock. “Have I mastered the peerless martial arts?”

Tian Tian turned around to look for her. “Is this the person who followed us? She looks like a girl.”

The girl was very thin and weak, as if a gust of wind could not blow her down.

“Get her to the side of the road first. Don’t block others in the middle of the road. Fortunately, the students had gone back to sleep at this time. Otherwise, if someone saw her lying here, they would think that we had killed someone.” Li Li dragged the girl to the side. She found that the girl’s bones could be felt clearly. She was terrifyingly thin.

“It’s so hot. Let’s take off her hat and mask to prevent her from getting a heatstroke.” Tian Tian reached for her hat.

Li Li took out a cup of water that she carried with her. “Help her up. I’ll feed her some water. She might have fainted from a heatstroke.”

Tian Tian took off her mask and realized that this goddess looked a little familiar. “Hey, don’t you think she looks like a person?”

Li Li carefully examined her thin facial features and said angrily, “Of all people, she looks like Nini”

“I also think she looks a little like Lannie. She can’t be Lannie’s sister, right?” Tian Tian said.

Li Li took the cup away in disgust. “If she’s really Nini’s sister, then I’ll throw the cup into the trash can right now.”

Tian Tian smiled. “1 was just joking. If this strange girl was really Lannie’s sister, then how did she become like this? 1 feel like she hasn’t eaten for a long time.”

Li Li took out the ham sausage from her backpack, tore open the packaging, and placed it in front of the girl’s nose. “Let me see if she fainted from hunger.” The girl smelled the fragrance of food and slowly opened her eyes. She bit the ham sausage and almost bit Li Li’s hand.

“Oh my god, did you reincarnate as a hungry ghost? This is my hand, not a ham sausage!” Li Li quickly pulled her hand back.

The girl gulped and said apologetically, “Sorry, I’m too hungry…”

Li Li passed the ham sausage to the girl and his cup to her. “Are you a student at Capital University?”

When the girl heard this, her tears could not stop flowing. She said vaguely, “I was originally a student at Capital University, but now…”

Li Li and Tian Tian looked at each other. They felt that this girl was not simple..

 

 

Chapter 682: 682 Lan Ning

 

 

Li Li went to the supermarket to buy some biscuits and a bottle of mineral water. “Eat something first. Let’s sit down and talk.”

“What’s your name? Why are you so hungry?” Tian Tian asked.

The girl swallowed her food and replied, “My name is Lan Ning. I’m from Nanhai City. 1 haven’t eaten much in five days.”

“All?” Tian Tian calculated the distance from Nanhai City to Capital. “It’s about 5000 kilometers. How did you get here? Are you taking the high-speed rail?”

“No, 1 haven’t.” Lan Ning bit his lips and said sadly, “I took the bus all the way here. I need an ID card to take the high-speed rail. I don’t have an ID card.” “Where’s your ID card?” Li Li’s heart ached for her. “Was it stolen?”

Lan Ning’s eyes were filled with anger. “My ID card was taken away by someone, and my household register was also taken away by them. I can’t make up for my ID card.”

“Who snatched it away?” Li Li felt strange. “Are robbers so bold nowadays? He actually dared to snatch the identity card and household register so brazenly.” “It was my distant uncle’s family who did it.” Lan Ning suddenly grabbed Li Li’s hand. “You know Lan Ni, right? I heard her stealing from you. If you are willing to help me, I can help you deal with her!”

Tian Tian was about to nod and say that they knew someone called Nini, but she was stopped by Li Li. Li Li was careful. This was the first time they had met this girl called Lan Ning. No matter what she said, they could not believe it completely. She wanted them to deal with Lannie as soon as she opened her mouth. No matter how she thought about it, it was not normal.

“How did you know that we know Nini? What’s your relationship with her?” Li Li asked.

Lan Ning clenched his hands. “Lan Ni, so what you call her as Nini, is my distant cousin. His family is powerful in Nanhai City, but Lan Ni’s grades are average. In order for Lan Ni to get good grades, their family took my acceptance letter and forced me to take the exam in her place.”

“All? How could such a terrifying thing happen?” Tian Tian’s mouth was wide open. “Didn’t the examiner notice that you took the exam in Lannie’s place?”

Lan Ning shook his head. “Lan Ni and I are distant relatives, and we look similar. Then, their family put some makeup on me, and I looked just like her. After that, I took the exam in Lan Ni’s place. The results I got became Lan Ni’s results.”

“Didn’t you report this to the Education Bureau?” Li Li asked.

“It’s useless.” Lan Ning sobbed. “After my family was released after the exam, 1 reported it to the city’s education bureau. The city didn’t care, so 1 reported it to the province and even posted it on the Internet. But Lan Ni’s family is very powerful, so no one is willing to take care of this. Even if I put it on the Internet, there will be errors.”

Li Li and Tian Tian looked at each other, thinking that they could bring Lan Ning to see Tan Rou. Tan Rou was so smart, she would definitely have a way to help Lan Ning. They could also ask Tan Rou to check if what Lan Ning said was true. If it was true, this matter would cause a huge storm.

When Tan Rou returned home, Aunt Zhou told her, “Miss Li Li and Miss Tian Tian brought back an unfamiliar girl. She’s in the living room now. They seem to have something to ask you for help.”

“A new girl?” Tan Rou was a little confused. “Then I’ll go in and take a look.”

As soon as she entered, Tan Rou realized that the girl looked very similar to Lan Ni. Both her height and face were similar to Lan Ni.

“Who are you? What do you need my help with?” Tan Rou asked directly.

After eating, Lan Ning regained her strength. She could tell that the girl was the owner of the house, so she said, “Hello, my name is Lan Ning. I’m from Nanhai City. I’m 18 years old this year. Lan Ni and I are distant cousins.”

“Yes.” Tan Rou liked people who introduced themselves. “Why are you looking for me?”

“I want you to help me snatch back what belongs to me.” Lan Ning’s eyes were firm.

Tan Rou smiled and called out to her, “Friend, please sit down. Drink some water to moisten your throat.”

Lan Ning refused to sit down. “I’m not here for water, I’m here for revenge.”

“Then what’s the grudge between you and Lan Ni?” Tan Ron’s posture was very relaxed, as if she didn’t care about this matter at all.

Lan Ning told Tan Rou what he had told Li Li and the others.

“This is getting interesting ” Tan Rou said softly after listening..

 

Chapter 683: 683 Rest in Peace

 

 

Lan Ning was very excited. “Miss Tan Ron, please help me once. As long as you help me, I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future.”

Tan Rou smiled. “Why do you think I’ll help you?”

“I’ve been watching you for a few days,” Lan Ning replied. “I know that you have a conflict with Lan Ni, and Lan Ni stole something from you today. I’m sure you won’t let her off so easily. I want to cooperate with you and bet everything I have to send her to prison!”

“We do have some conflicts with Lan Ni, but it’s not worth the risk.” Tan Rou acted as if she had nothing to do with it. “She stole my things and paid for it. We don’t have to get involved in your fight.”

Lan Ning looked sad. “Are you afraid of being implicated by me?” She sat back on the sofa weakly. “I know. Thank you for the food. I’ll handle the rest myself.” “Is this all you have?” Tan Rou frowned slightly. “Lan Ni’s family is powerful and influential. They have a hand in Nanhai City. That’s why you can’t file a complaint there. It’s not impossible for me to help you, but 1 want to see your efforts.”

Lan Ning didn’t understand what hard work was. She felt that she had worked hard enough. She had taken the bus from Nanhai City without eating or drinking. After she got into the Capital University, she only dared to get free soup. How much more effort did she need to put in?

“Aunt Zhou, go to my room and get the red box on the table.”Tan Rou ordered.

Aunt Zhou quickly took the box down. Tan Rou took the box and opened it, then took out a brown candy.

“This candy can quickly replenish energy. You’re relatively weak now, so you need to eat one to nourish your body.” Tan Rou handed the candy to Lan Ning.

“You have to work hard to recover. Lan Nieats and drinks well at school every day. She’s living the life but you haven’t eaten or drunk these days, and your body is so weak. You definitely can’t beat Lan Ni.”

Lan Ning froze. “Is that what you meant by working hard?”

“What I mean is that you don’t have to worry. Since this matter involves the national college entrance examination, it will definitely cause a huge commotion. We have to find evidence and be prepared to deal with the difficulties. It’s not like we can solve the problem by shouting in front of Lan Ni.” Tan Rou said calmly.

“I was too impulsive.” Lan Ning covered his face and cried. “My parents are still under the surveillance of her family. I came to the Capital secretly this time. If I don’t solve this problem, my family won’t be safe. There’s also the teacher who lent me money. He risked being killed by the Lan family to help me. I can’t let him down.”

Li Li almost cried when she heard that. “Lan Ning has such a miserable life!”

“Lan Ning, you can stay here for a while. We’re still in the military training. Before the training ends, you have to collect as much evidence as possible that Lan Ni has taken your place. I’ll also search for evidence and try to make you our classmate as soon as possible.” Tan Rou arranged.

“Thank you, Miss Tan Rou!” Lan Ning was very grateful to her. “I won’t let you work hard for nothing.”

Tan Rou asked Aunt Zhou to prepare a room for Lan Ning. Before the matter was resolved, she would stay here to recuperate.

In the afternoon, Tan Rou and the others pretended that nothing had happened and continued their training. Lan Ni didn’t come to the training. She asked the school doctor to give her a leave of absence, intending to skip the military training.

However, the school doctor only gave her three days off. After three days, her holiday would end and she would have to go back to training.

However, Nini had been absent-minded since she came back, as if she had something on her mind.

“Nini, why are you always distracted?”Chen Yao was worried that her body had not recovered yet. Is it because the effects of the medicine have not worn off? Do you want to rest for a few more days?”

Nini pushed Chen Yao aside in frustration. “Don’t talk to me. I’m annoyed.”

“What are you worried about? If you tell me, I might be able to help you.” Chen Yao said.

“Go away!” Nini pushed Chen Yao away and walked away with her phone.

When Tan Rou saw Nini leave, she also found an excuse to leave the training ground.

“That little b*tch hasn’t been found yet?” Nini sounded very anxious.. “Doesn’t she care about her parents and sister?”

 

Chapter 684: 684 Collecting Evidence

 

 

The other party said something, and Lan Ni’s tone became fierce. “If this matter is exposed, we’ll all go to jail! Lan Ning had to be found, and this time it wouldn’t be locking her up.”

“Yes, I want her dead!” Lan Ni’s eyes were filled with killing intent. “As long as I kill her, the fact that I asked her to take the exam for me won’t be exposed.”

“Alright, I’ll send you a message.”

Lan Ni finally calmed down.

“What did you say? She might come to the capital to look for me!” Lan Ni’s expression became flustered again. We took her ID card and money, flow could she come to the capital?”

After a while, Lan Ni calmed down. “Yes, I will be careful. If Lan Ning dares to come to me, 1 will not let her return alive!”

Tan Rou had recorded Lannie’s conversation with her phone. Perhaps it could be used as evidence to prove that Lannie cheated.

“Did you get anything?” As soon as Tan Rou returned, Li Li asked impatiently.

“Yes.” Tan Rou sat down and told them what she had heard. “Lan Ni already knew that Lan Ning escaped from Nanhai City and threatened to kill him. The person on the phone told her that Lan Ning might come to the capital, so they should be looking for Lan Ning now. We can’t let them meet.”

Xu Yan analyzed, “It’s safer at your place. Lan Ning won’t be discovered if he stays there.” he most important thing now was to collect evidence that Lan Ni had asked someone to take her place in the exam. Because Lan Ni and Lan Ning looked too similar, even if they checked the surveillance cameras, they wouldn’t be able to see much difference, so they had to start from other places.”

They had just heard thatLan Ni and Lan Ning had switched identities. Although it was hard to imagine, the truth was right in front of them. They had to believe it even if they didn’t want to.

“Yes, I’m investigating their studies at school and have also contacted the teacher who helped Lan Ning. The teacher is willing to testify for Lan Ning and will find a way to persuade other teachers to testify as well.” Tan Rou transmitted the information she had received.

“If Lan Ning wants to sue, it’s best if she does so in the capital. If she goes back to Nanhai City, she definitely won’t win.” Lu Qing said.

“Lan Ning hasn’t fully recovered yet. She’ll have to wait a little longer. And she’s very worried about her family,” Li Li said. “If she were to sue Lan Nihere, she wouldn’t be able to guarantee her family’s safety.”

“Yes, we have to find a way to get her family out.” Tan Rou thought of Zhuang Liu. She wanted to ask him for help, but she didn’t know if he was free now.

“Third Brother, have you been busy recently?” Tan Rou lay on the bed and called Zhuang Liu.

Zhuang Liu was overjoyed when he received Tan Ron’s call. Because Tan Rou told him that she was going to undergo closed-door military training, he did not dare to call Tan Rou, afraid that it would affect her training.

“I’m not busy, I’m not busy.” Zhuang Liu pushed away all the work at hand. “As long as Rourou looks for me, I’m free at any time.”

Tan Rou turned around and muttered, “Third Brother, I’ve missed you.”

“Do you miss me just a little?” Zhuang Liu asked.

Tan Rou felt that she had said something wrong and immediately changed her words.

“I miss you very much too.” Zhuang Liu wanted to see Tan Rou. “How many more days are there for your military training?”

“Three more days.” Tan Rou calculated the time. “After that, it’ll be Fangzheng’s group performance. Do you have time to watch it, Third Brother?”

“I’ll definitely visit you when 1 have time.” Zhuang Liu wished he could change the time to four days later so that he could look for Tan Rou.

“Alright.” Tan Rou started talking about serious matters. “Third Brother, do you know any friends in Nanhai City?”

Zhuang Liu didn’t know why Tan Rou said this. There must be a reason why Tan Rou had asked him such a question.

“I have two business partners who have a good relationship with me.” Zhuang Liu replied.

“How influential are those two people?” Tan Rou asked again.

“He’s quite famous in Nanhai City. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be working with me.” Zhuang Liu was very confident in this aspect. “Is there a reason why you ended them?”

“Yes, 1 need them to help me find a few people.” Tan Rou sent the information of Lan Ning’s family to Zhuang Liu. “Third Brother, please ask your friends to help me find them and protect them.”

“Alright, 1’11 tell them right away.” Zhuang Liu would definitely fulfill Tan Ron’s request..

 

Chapter 685: 685 The Group Performance

 

 

After half a month of training, Tan Ron and the others finally welcomed the day of the group performance. The school had specially prepared a venue for the freshmen to give them a chance to show off their heroism.

Zhuang Liu changed his clothes early in the morning and came over. At the door, he met the Tao family members who were also watching Tan Ron’s performance.

“What a coincidence!” Mrs. Tao was very happy to see Zhuang Liu. “Xiao Liu, are you here to watch our Xiao Ron’s performance?”

Zhuang Liu smiled and replied, “Yes, Auntie.”

When Tao Zhi saw Zhuang Liu, he said very calmly, “Xiao Ron and the others drew number seven. Don’t remember wrongly. Also, Xiao Ron is the flag bearer in front, don’t take photos of the wrong person.”

Zhuang Liu took out his new camera and promised, “Brother-in-law, don’t worry. I won’t take photos of the wrong person.”

“Xiao Liu, what did you call my son?” Mrs. Tao asked in surprise when she heard their conversation.

“Mom, we’re just joking.” Tao Zhi was stunned. “Zhuang Liu said I looked like his brother-in-law, so he called me brother-in-law. We didn’t mean anything else.”

“Oh>” Tao Zhi’s mother didn’t know what Tao Zhi was talking about. She just wanted to see where her daughter was. “Let’s go and find Xiao Ron’s class.”

Then, she held Aunt Tao’s arm and walked forward.

Tao Zhi broke out in a cold sweat. He reminded Zhuang Liu, “Can you not call me brother-in-law in front of my mother? What if they find out about you and Rourou?”

Zhuang Liu was not afraid that Mother Tao would object to his marriage with Tan Rou at all. “I think Auntie likes me quite a lot and wants to matchmake Rourou and me, so it’s not a big deal to tell Auntie in advance.”

Tao Zhi glared at him. “I’m warning you. My family is here today. You’re not allowed to talk nonsense.”

Zhuang Liu wanted to tell the Tao family that he was Tan Ron’s boyfriend, but as long as Tan Rou hadn’t officially introduced her to the Tao family, he wouldn’t say it in advance.

“I understand, Brother-in-law.” Zhuang Liu said with a smile.

Tao Zhi was about to be angered to death by Zhuang Liu. “You didn’t take my words to heart at all!”

Zhuang Liu smiled and said, “Brother-in-law, go in quickly, or you’ll miss Xiao Ron’s performance.

Tao Zhi didn’t want to miss his sister’s performance, so he carried the camera and jogged to catch up with the Tao family. Tao Zheng was on a business trip today, so the opportunity to film his sister’s heroic figure fell to Tao Zhi.

Tan Rou and the others were in the seventh row. Under normal circumstances, five teams would prepare together, so their team could rest a little longer.

“Xiao Rou!” Zhuang Liu had snuck into the rest area from somewhere. He was wearing a white shirt today, like a college student.

“Third Brother!” Tan Rou was very surprised. “Why are you here?”

Zhuang Liu looked around and smiled. “I’m here to see if you’re ready for your performance.

“We’re ready. President Zhuang, you can enjoy it to your heart’s content.” Lu Qing said.

Zhuang Liu knew Lu Qing’s feelings for Tan Rou, and he also knew that Lu Qing said this on purpose for him to hear. However, he did not want to be calculative with a child. After all, he was the only one who could be with Tan Rou.

“Then I’ll have to take a good look at Young Master Lu’s heroic bearing later.” Zhuang Liu replied.

Lu Qing had a half-smile on his face. He knew that he could no longer be with Tan Rou, but he just didn’t like Zhuang Liu. Perhaps this was the saying, ‘When love rivals meet, their eyes turn red.’

“CEO Zhuang, the audience seats are over there. Why don’t you go over there first?” Xu Yan was really afraid that they would quarrel. Although they were not primary school students anymore, men were more difficult to deal with than primary school students when they were childish.

“Xiao Rou, then I’ll go over first. I’ll come back to you after you’re done with the performance.” Zhuang Liu had sneaked in, so it was not convenient for him to stay here for long.

“Yes, yes.” Tan Rou was already very satisfied to see Zhuang Liu. “See you later.” “Wow, Tan Rou, is that your brother? He’s so handsome!” The girls in Tan Ron’s class were infatuated.

Tian Tian looked at Zhuang Liu and said, “Isn’t that Third Young Master Zhuang? Why is he here?”

Tan Rou smiled and replied, “He came to watch my performance.”

“I heard that Third Young Master Zhuang never participated in such activities. 1 didn’t expect him to come and watch your performance, Rourou.”

Li Li put her arm around Tian Tian’s shoulder and smiled.. “Isn’t it normal for a boyfriend to come and watch his girlfriend’s performance?”

 

Chapter 686: 686 Boyfriend

 

 

“All?” Tian Tian was shocked. “You said Rourou and the Zhuang family’s Third Young Master are a couple?”

“Rourou, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say that.” Li Li covered her mouth. She was just joking and had no intention of revealing Tan Rou’s secret.

Tan Rou didn’t mind. “Since I’ve introduced Zhuang Liu to you, 1 won’t mind you saying that he’s my boyfriend. Just like what Li Li said, Zhuang Liu is indeed my boyfriend.”

She openly admitted her relationship with Zhuang Liu.

Lu Qing couldn’t stand it anymore. He turned around and said, “I’ll go to the back and queue up first.”

Xu Yan went with him. He had nothing to do here anyway, so he might as well go and comfort his good brother.

“I really envy Third Young Master Zhuang!” Tian Tian said that she envied Zhuang Liu. “To be able to be with such an outstanding person like Rourou!”

There were many students from the Capital in their class. When they heard about Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu, some were envious and some were jealous.

“One of them is the eldest daughter of the Tao family, and the other is the third young master of the Zhuang family. They are very compatible in terms of appearance and family background. I’m looking forward to their wedding. I hope 1 can be invited to their wedding.” One of the girl’s said.

When the interesting girl heard that Zhuang Liu’s partner was Tan Rou, she was immediately unhappy. “What Miss Tao? Isn’t she just a wild girl who was swapped at birth? What’s the big deal? Third Young Master Zhuang really has no taste. He actually took a fancy to her!”

Li Li defended Tan Rou. “Don’t say that grapes are sour when you can’t eat them, okay? Which part of our Xiao Rou isn’t worthy of the Zhuang Family’s Third Young Master? Don’t forget that our Rourou got into this university with full marks. Moreover, before this, Rourou had already received a recommendation letter from the global physics association. Have you ever participated in the global physics competition?”

The girl immediately fell silent.

When Lan Ni saw Zhuang Liu, she didn’t even want to move her eyes half a centimeter away. She really wanted to turn herself into a little doll and hang on Zhuang Liu.

Zhuang Liu was too handsome. He was even better looking than Tan Rou’s older brother. He also looked younger than that older brother. A person who could be called the ‘Third Young Master of the Zhuang Family’ definitely had a good family background. If she could marry Zhuang Liu, wouldn’t she have endless money to spend in the future?

“Tan Rou, your boyfriend is really good-looking.” Nini smiled as she asked. “How long have you been together?”

Tan Rou loathed Lannie, but she didn’t show it. “What does this have to do with you?”

Lannie didn’t feel awkward. She flipped her hair and said, “I was just asking. I didn’t mean anything else.”

“Forgive me for not having the obligation to answer you. Stop asking about me!” Tan Rou said coldly.

“Tsk!” Lannie rolled her eyes. “So what if you have a boyfriend?”

Chen Yao couldn’t stand Lannie’s behavior. “Nini, that’s her private matter. You shouldn’t pry into it.”

Nini rolled her eyes at her. “Get out of my way,” she snapped. “Mind your own business.”

At this moment, the emcee came over to read out the numbers and told them to get ready to go on stage. Tan Rou and the others returned to their respective positions.

Nini saw that her seat was close to the rostrum and far away from the audience. She insisted on changing her seat, but the leader refused, so Nini quietly changed her seat. The classmate who had her swap seat did not want to be nosy, so she gave her seat.

Why did Nini change her position? Because Zhuang Liu could be seen from the audience, she wanted to leave a good impression on him.

The performance requires them to walk about 50 meters, and once they reached the center, they changed their walking mode according to the background music. When they reached the rostrum and the audience seats, all the phalanxes had to slow down for inspection.

Seeing Tan Rou and the others coming over, Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi quickly took out their best equipment to shoot the video. Although Tan Rou did not look at the camera, they were satisfied as long as they could shoot Tan Rou.

However, as they continued to film, they was one person who kept trying to steal the spotlight. Lannie walked faster and faster, leading all the people in her row astray, causing the entire formation to go off. However, Nini still did not feel that there was anything wrong. She was still looking at the audience. When she saw Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi taking photos of her, she wanted to pose in the most beautiful position for them to take photos.

Zhuang Liu looked at the video and frowned. “Get someone to fix this part later.”

Tao Zhi also took a picture of Nini. He was very unhappy.. “Why is it this woman again?”

 

 

Chapter 687: 687 Her Intentions Were Obvious

 

 

“You know her?” Zhuang Liu asked.

“This person followed Xiao Rou and the others previously.” Tao Zhi said in disgust, “At that time, she was hiding in front of Xiao Ron’s new house. When we found her, we asked her to leave. Not only did she not leave, she even wanted to go in. Then, Xiao Rou told me they moved out of the dormitory because of this woman.”

“Xiao Rou didn’t tell me about this.” Zhuang Liu felt sour in his heart. He was Tan Ron’s boyfriend. Why didn’t Tan Rou tell him about her troubles?

“It’s just a small matter. We had already asked the security guards to chase her out at that time.” Tao Zhi said, “I feel this woman won’t be able to go to school safely. She’ll definitely cause trouble for Xiao Rou and the others. I won’t be polite if she comes looking for trouble again.”

“Add me in. Protecting Rourou is what I should do,” Zhuang Liu said.

After the performance, Tan Rou went straight to Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi. “Big Brother, Third Brother!”

“Xiao Rou, are you hot?” Tao Zhi handed Tan Rou a wet tissue.

“Xiao Rou, do you want some water?” Zhuang Liu handed Tan Rou some water.

“I also want to have so many brothers who love me,” said Tian Tian enviously. She thought of her cousins and felt disgusted.

Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi didn’t forget to distribute tissues and water to Tan Ron’s friends. After Li Li and the others received the water, they expressed their gratitude.

“Thank you, Brother Zhuang Liu and Brother Tao.” Li Li smiled and thanked him.

Nini saw them chatting and laughing together and couldn’t hide her jealousy. She pulled Chen Yao and barged into Tan Ron’s circle.

“It’s so hot. I’m about to melt from the sun.” Nini wiped the sweat off her face and looked at Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi. She said meaningfully, “If I had a wet tissue to wipe my sweat and drink some cold water, it wouldn’t be so hot.”

Tan Rou was very clear about Nini’s intentions. She wanted her brother and boyfriend to give her some tissues and water. Tan Rou would have done this long ag if it was someone elseo. Unfortunately, this person was Lannie.

“We don’t have many wet tissues and water left. If you need them, you can buy them at the school supermarket.” Tao Zhi refused to give Lannie the wet tissue.

Nini’s expression was not too good, but she still said shamelessly, “Big brother, just give me one wet tissue. I don’t want too much.”

“I’ve already rejected you. Why are you still asking me for wet tissues?” Tao Zhi did not have the patience to talk to her. “Go buy it yourself. My wet tissues have other uses.”

Lannie saw that Tao Zhi was unwilling to give her a wet tissue, so she looked at Zhuang Liu. “Big Brother, I’m a little thirsty. Can you give me a bottle of water?”

“No.” Zhuang Liu immediately gave out all the water.

“I don’t have any water in my hands now. Even if you want it, I can’t give it to you.”

Nini was furious. “You…”

“Can’t you have some self-awareness?” Tian Tian couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Isn’t it obvious that they don’t want to give them to you? Why are you still asking for it repeatedly? Also, Why did you walk so quickly earlier? Can’t you see that you’ve led the team astray?”

Nini turned her face away and said aggrievedly, “I didn’t want to walk fast either, but the person in front of me was walking fast. I had no choice but to follow him.”

“You’re talking nonsense! You were the one who pushed the person in front of you,” Tian Tian said angrily. “If you didn’t speed up, why would the others speed up?”

“Hey, 1 already said that it’s not that I didn’t walk fast enough. Why are you still staring at me?” Lannie deliberately nudged Zhuang Liu. “Tian Tian is so fierce!” Tian Tian really wanted to slap Nini in the face. “Can’t you be more shameless? Why are you rubbing yourself against Tan Ron’s boyfriend?”

Li Li pulled Ninifurther away. “Don’t think that we can’t guess your intentions. Her boyfriend is hers. Don’t even think about it!”

Lannie was like a slippery fish. Just as she pulled her away from Zhuang Liu, she slipped to Tao Zhi’s side. “Big Brother, they’re so scary!”

Tao Zhi was disgusted by her. “Rourou, I’ll go find Mom and Auntie first. You can go with Zhuang Liu.”

After saying that, he quickly fled the scene.

Tan Rou couldn’t help but laugh. “This is the first time I’ve seen Big Brother scared away by someone.”

Zhuang Liu nodded. “Indeed, this is the first time I’ve seen such a scene..”

 

 

Chapter 688: 688 Chen Yao’s Worries

 

 

After Tao Zhi left, Li Li and the others couldn’t stand it anymore. If they spoke to Lannie, they might hit her.

“Let’s go!” Li Li pulled Tian Tian and ran away. “It’s our loss to talk to Lannie.”

Tian Tian agreed. “Then let’s go back to Rourou’s house first.”

Lu Qing and Xu Yan had left a long time ago. Lu Qing did not want to see Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou together, so he dragged Xu Yan to say goodbye to the instructors.

“Hey, why did you all leave?” Nini stomped her feet in anger.

Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou held hands and left the audience seats sweetly. No matter how Lannie shouted behind them, they did not turn back.

Chen Yao was very envious of Tan Rou. Not only did she have so many good friends to accompany her, but she also had handsome brothers and boyfriend to protect her. If Chen Yao also had a brother to protect her, she wouldn’t have to be afraid of Nini

Moreover, the friends of good-looking people were also good-looking. Whether it was Tan Rou’s brother and boyfriend, or Tan Ron’s friends, Li Li and Tian Tian, they were all very good-looking. As long as she saw them, her mood would improve.

“What are you looking at? Even if you put your eyes on them, they won’t like you.” Nini saw Chen Yao staring at Zhuang Liu’s back in a daze. She sneered and said, “Why don’t you take a look at your status? You’re so ugly and so poor. Do you think they’ll like you?”

Chen Yao lowered her head, feeling inferior. Lannie was right. An ordinary girl like her was not worthy of being friends with them. Moreover, Chen Yao had been following Nini around. Tan Rou and the others hated Lannie, so they definitely hated her as well.

“It’s all Tan Rou’s fault. If it weren’t for her, those two handsome guys would have given me wet tissues and water. Little b * tch, I’ll teach her a lesson next time,” Nini said unhappily.

Chen Yao felt that Lannie was daydreaming. Even if Tan Rou wasn’t around, the two big brothers wouldn’t have given Nini the wet tissue. Lannie was annoying and normal people wouldn’t like her.

“Hey, have there been any strange people looking for you recently? 1 mean, did anyone come from Nanhai City to look for you?” Lannie asked Chen Yao tentatively on the way back.

“All?” Chen Yao shook her head. “No one came looking for me.”

Nini said, “If anyone from Nanhai City comes looking for you, tell me about her, especially about Lan Ning. Understood?!”

Chen Yao’s heart tightened. “Has Lan Ning come to the Capital?”

“I don’t know. Just tell me what she’s doing when she comes to you,” Lannie said impatiently.

Chen Yao promised that she would tell Lannie, but in private, she didn’t want Lannie to find Lan Ning.

“I still have one more thing for you to do. Help me find out more about Tan Rou’s boyfriend, Zhuang Liu, and her brother, Tao Zhi,” Lannie ordered. “It’s best if you can see if they have girlfriends.”

Chen Yao didn’t understand what Lannie was trying to do. “Isn’t Zhuang Liu’s girlfriend Tan Rou?”

“I asked you to find out if he had a girlfriend before.” Lannie felt that as long as Zhuang Liu had an ex-girlfriend, she would have a chance to snatch Zhuang Liu away from Tan Rou.

Chen Yao didn’t want to do such a thing. Besides, she was a girl without any power or influence. Where could she find out about Zhuang Liu? Who was Zhuang Liu, and who was Chen Yao?

“With my status and level, 1 definitely won’t be able to find out anything.” Chen Yao said truthfully.

“Idiot, can’t you ask someone else? There must be a lot of people in our class who know Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi. Can’t you just ask them?” Lannie reprimanded.

Chen Yao wasn’t familiar with her classmates and class hadn’t officially started yet. Other than replying to messages in the group, they didn’t communicate much. Where could she find out about Lannie?

“Alright. I understand.” Chen Yao replied. She had to agree to Lannie’s request first, or else Lannie would scold her again.

At this point, Chen Yao felt sad again. If she had the chance, she knew that she wanted to be friends with Tan Rou. A person like Tan Rou would definitely treat her friends very well.

No one knew about Chen Yao’s sadness, and no one asked if she was tired. There were only endless things to do and endless scolding..

 

 

Chapter 689: 689 A Happy Gathering

 

 

Zhuang Liu went back to Tan Ron’s house. Tan Ron’s current residence was near her university and was only a few steps away. Actually, Zhuang Liu wanted to ask Tan Ron out for a date, but Tan Ron’s mother and brother were both here, so he couldn’t bring Tan Ron out.

He thought that he could be with Tan Ron openly after she went to university. He did not expect the Tao family to follow Tan Ron to university and even buy a house here. They even bought that building. Zhuang Liu could not get close to Tan Ron even if he wanted to.

“Xiao Rou, are you free this weekend? 1 would like to ask you out, is that okay?” Zhuang Liu asked.

“Of course.” Tan Ron held his hand tightly. “Actually, I missed you too. It’s just that I was still in military training at that time, so it wasn’t convenient for me to look for you. Besides, Aunt Zhou is also staying at my place. I can’t let you wait for me there.”

Zhuang Liu looked sad. “When can 1 meet your family as your boyfriend?”

“Didn’t my big brother, second brother, and fourth brother already know about us?” Tan Rou smiled.

“That’s different.” Zhuang Liu believed that he had to get the blessings of the Tao family’s parents and grandparents to be together with Tan Rou. “I hope to be able to appear in front of your parents and grandparents.”

“Alright, I’ll introduce you to them.” Tan Rou looked up at Zhuang Liu. “Third Brother, 1’11 head in first.”

Zhuang Liu leaned over and kissed the corner of her lips. “Okay, see you next time.”

Tan Rou kissed him back. “We’re so bold to kiss on the road.”

Zhuang Liu chuckled. “Can’t 1 kiss my future wife?”

Tan Rou smiled. “Then 1 can kiss my future husband too.”

The two of them parted reluctantly. It was not until Tan Rou walked through the gate of the community that Zhuang Liu left. He had driven here today. As for Xiao Mo, he was still at work.

“I’m back.” Tan Rou shouted.

Tao Qi rushed out. “Third Sister!” He was currently studying at Capital City’s First Primary School and would continue to study there.

Tan Rou grabbed his arm. “Oh my, i haven’t seen you in a long time. You’ve grown a lot taller!”

Tao Qi compared his height with his sister’s and said, “When I grow taller than my brothers, 1’11 be able to protect my sister.”

Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. “With those skills of yours, you would only be able to protect yourself.”

Tian Tian called out to Tan Rou, “Rourou, come and eat quickly! Brother Tao Zhi bought a lot of snacks.”

Li Li’s mouth was stuffed with snacks. It was her first time eating these famous snacks from the Capital, so she couldn’t stop eating. She finally finished the snacks in her mouth before saying, “Rourou, the snacks in the here are delicious. When I go home for the new year, 1 must buy a big bag for my parents to try.”

Tan Rou looked at the desserts on the table and didn’t have much of an appetite. “1 don’t really like desserts. You guys go ahead.”

“Desserts are delicious. Every time I eat something sweet, my mood will improve,” Tian Tian mumbled.

Tan Rou still remembered the first time they met. Tian Tian had been eating a lot of cake, but the strange thing was that no matter how much she ate, she did not get fat.

“Girls who love sweet food will always have good luck.” Aunt Tao was also one who liked to eat sweet things. Every afternoon tea, she would ask the kitchen to prepare desserts. Then, she would drink tea and taste the desserts. It was very enjoyable.

“Aunt is right.” Tian Tian agreed with Aunt Tao’s point of view.

Tao Zhi looked at Tian Tian taking a bite of the cake and was very shocked. “You don’t look like you can eat much. I didn’t expect you to be so good at eating. You even ate the cake I bought.”

Tian Tian handed the last piece of cake to Tao Zhi. “Brother Tao Zhi, you should have some too.”

“I…” Tao Zhi wanted to refuse, but Tian Tian stuffed the cake into his mouth.

The cake was sweet and tasted good.

“Thank you.” Tao Zhi could only eat the cake.

“How is it? Isn’t the cake delicious?” Tian Tian gave a blissful smile. “I love cakes the most. 1 can eat a lot every time.”

“If you eat too much of them, you might get cavities and there would be worms coming out of your mouth.”

Tian Tian did not mind. “The worms that grow out of these cavities are cake worms. They are also sweet. When the time comes, I can eat them directly like cakes.”

Tao Zhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “You are pretty creative..”

 

Chapter 690: 690 The Kind Tao Family

 

 

There were many snacks on the table. Tian Tian couldn’t reach some of them, so she had to stand up to get them. However, Tao Zhi was very close to the table. Before Tian Tian could get the snacks, he had already placed them in front of her.

Tan Rou looked at the interaction between Tao Zhi and Tian Tian, and a smile flashed across her lips. Her big brother was not the kind of person who would casually give snacks to others, especially girls.

Tao Zhi seemed to have a phobia of women. He rarely interacted with girls, but today, not only did Tao Zhi eat the cake that Tian Tian gave him, but he also helped Tian Tian get the cake. Perhaps…

The smile on Tan Rou’s face became more and more obvious. Even Li Li felt that something was wrong. She asked quietly, “Rourou, you’re smiling so happily. Is something good going to happen?”

“Li Li, don’t you think my brother and Tiantian are a good match?” Tan Rou whispered.

Li Li stopped eating and thought about it for half a minute. Then, she came to a conclusion. “Indeed! Your brother is good-looking whileTiantian is cute and beautiful. They are indeed a good match. Should we matchmake them?”

Tan Rou shook her head slightly. “Don’t get too worked up. Let them slowly interact with each other first. If they really like each other, we’ll help them.” “You’re right!!!” Li Li liked to see others achieve happiness. “You can ask me to come with you. I’ll definitely help them.”

The voices downstairs woke up Lan Ning who was sleeping upstairs. She stood at the top of the stairs in her slippers and looked at the people in the living room, her eyes full of sadness. Originally, she could have sat at home and shared snacks with her family. However, she had no choice but to hide in Tan Rou’s house.

Perhaps Lan Ning’s gaze was too passionate. Tao Zhi noticed Lan Ning at the stairwell. He asked in surprise, “Why did you follow me home?”

Lan Ning was very flustered. She bent down and apologized. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt you. I’ll leave now.”

As she spoke, she was about to head into the room.

“Big Brother, she’s not Lan Ni.” Tan Rou knew that Tao Zhi had mistaken her for someone else. “Her name is Lan Ning. She was hurt by Lannie. Come down,” she said to Lanning, “This is my family. They won’t hurt you.”

Lanning turned around. She said apologetically, “I’ll be gone soon.”

“Don’t worry. When your matter is settled, you can become our classmate too.” Tan Rou said gently.

Lan Ning didn’t expect to go to the Capital University. She only hoped that her family could get rid of Lan Ni’s surveillance and live in peace.

“What’s going on?” Tao Zhi was confused. “Why does she look so similar to that annoying woman?”

Tan Rou explained, “Lan Ning is Lannie’s distant relative. Because of how she looked like Lan Ni, Lan Ni had forced her to take the exams for her in exchange for her family’s safety. The results that allowed Lan Ni to get into the Capital University actually belongs to Lan Ning.” She told Tao Zhi everything that had happened.

“Preposterous! How could someone do such a thing?” Tao Zhi was furious. “If you can’t do well, you should study hard. How can you kidnap someone else’s family and let them take the exam in your place?” He apologized to Lan Ning for mistaking him for someone else.

“I’m sorry. I mistook you for the wrong person. To express my apology, leave your matter to me. I’ll help you get justice.”

No matter what, Tao Zhi was the young master of the Tao family. He had a lot of prestige. Moreover, he had many high-ranking classmates in the capital. Once he wanted to help Lan Ning, this matter would be much easier to handle.

“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Miss Tan Rou is already helping me.” Lan Ning didn’t want to cause any more trouble.

“Lan Ning, you don’t have to be so polite. Since my big brother wants to help you, he will definitely help you.” Tan Rou comforted.

Lan Ning cried and said, “You…. You’re all good people. 1 really don’t know how to thank you.”

Tao Zhi waved his hand and said, “It’s just a small matter. You don’t have to take it to heart. Once you return to school, study hard in school. Don’t let everyone down.”

Lan Ning nodded. “As long as I can go back to school, 1 will definitely study hard..”
