Ch. 801..810
Chapter 801: 801 There’s Something Wrong With Your Brain
“Who are you calling idiot? Your contract is definitely fThe TR company can’t sign a contract with you.” Hu Cheng really couldn’t take this lying down. He had been thinking about TR Technology for so long. Why did they sign a contract with Jiang Min and the others?
Jiang Min and Hu Cheng were actually undergraduate and postgraduate students. They had both applied to the university for a research team. Jiang Min’s research team was after his, and because there were too few people in the team, the university did not value it. He would be chosen before Jiang Min whenever there was a good project.
It was the same for this experiment. Jiang Min and the others originally had the chance to get the school project, but Hu Cheng messed it up a little, so Jiang Min and the others didn’t even get the worst project. They could only come up with their own questions.
He didn’t expect the TR company to choose their terrible project. How could Hu Cheng stay in the laboratory with peace of mind?
“Give me your contract. I want to check it. Only after I check it will 1 admit the authenticity of your contract.” Hu Cheng reached out for the contract.
Shang Jin quickly stuffed the contract back into the bag. He was afraid that Hu Cheng would tear the contract up. There was an electronic contract, but if the physical copy got broken midway, the TR company would definitely think that they did not value this cooperation.
“Are you crazy?” Shang Jin couldn’t help but say, “Why would we make a fake contract to lie to you? Besides, that’s the TR Company. We don’t dare to joke with them. If this contract is fake, their legal department will probably draft a lawyer’s letter tonight.”
Hu Cheng still didn’t believe her. “You have to show me the contract.” “Enough!” Jiang Min rarely lost her temper. “Hu Cheng, what are you doing?” Jiang Min actually didn’t want to compete with Hu Cheng for those things. She knew Hu Cheng’s family background wasn’t good, so she was willing to give up the money-making projects to Hu Cheng many times. However, Hu Cheng was not grateful to her at all. Instead, he felt that he deserved it.
“Jiang Min?” Hu Cheng was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “You guys don’t dare to let me see this contract. Is it because your contract is fake?” “Are you crazy?” Lang Yue couldn’t help but lose his temper. “If you’re sick, hurry up and get treated. Don’t lose your mind here!”
Then, he turned to his teammates, “Let’s hurry back and study how to improve our things. Don’t talk nonsense with him here.”
Jiang Min also said, “Let’s go. We’ll be swamped from now on. 1 hope you can take it.”
After that, they closed the laboratory door and locked it from the inside to prevent Hu Cheng and the others from entering.
Hu Cheng was so angry that he wanted to punch the wall.
Xue Lin felt disgusted by his jealous face. She sneered. “You can’t compare to others. What’s the use of hitting the wall?”
Cheng Hu vented his anger on Xue Lin again, “It’s all your fault! We would’ve gotten involved with the Tao family if you didn’t offend Miss Tao. Jiang Min and the others shouldn’t be the ones signing the contract with TR Company today. It should be us!”
Xue Lin despised Cheng Hu, “Are you crazy? If our project is excellent, then it will definitely be selected by TR Company, but now that they are ignoring us, it means that they are not interested in our project. Instead of looking for a solution, you are going crazy here. Are you in your right mind?!”
“I’m just thinking for our team. We’ve worked so hard for so long. Are we going to give up just like that?” Hu Cheng said angrily.
Xue Lin didn’t care about it. She only cared about her face. “Since you are so considerate of our team, then you can go to TR Company yourself.”
Hu Cheng was still angry. He said, “I’ll go then. Do you think I’m afraid?”
He took the project book and went to the TR company that day. In the end, he squatted under the building for several days, but he did not see Hang Wei. Not only did he not see Hang Wei, but he also did not see any senior executives of the TL company. He did not even see a few junior employees.
However, this was not the most unfortunate thing. As Hu Cheng had been out all the time and neglected his experiments, his team’s new experiment did not leave a spot for him. Therefore, when Hu Cheng came back, he could only do some odd jobs.
Moreover, the leading teacher had also said that Hu Cheng would never be allowed to participate in experiments without his permission.
Hu Cheng had really hit rock bottom..
Chapter 802: 802 Charity Organization
Recently, she had been too busy studying. Tan Rou had not seen her parents for a long time. It was not that the Tao parents did not miss Tan Rou, but they were worried that they would disturb Tan Ron’s studies, so they had been suppressing their feelings of missing their daughter.
On this day, Mother Tao found out about a new charity organization through the rich ladies in the circle. She was a kind person, so she wanted to donate a sum of money to the charity organization in her daughter’s name. It would be good for her daughter, so that she would be healthy and happy.
However, before she donated money, Mrs. Tao had to be careful. She had to meet the founder of this charity organization, or she would not donate money.
“Oh, so it’s our Mrs. Tao who wants to donate! Long time no see, Mrs. Tao,” Han Min said with a smile. She was wearing a haute couture dress and heavy makeup.
After A4rs. Tao saw Han Min, she recognized her for a while. She hadn’t seen Han Min for a long time and didn’t expect her to change so much.
Han Min and her husband had moved abroad for several years. Why did they come back now? Moreover, Han Min had changed so much. If it weren’t for the mole on Han Min’s face, Mrs. Tao wouldn’t have recognized her.
“Second Madam Zhuang, long time no see.” Mrs. Tao greeted him politely.
Han Min sat opposite Mother Tao. She looked at Mother Tao’s young and beautiful face and felt unhappy. Mrs. Tao was obviously five or six years older than her. Why did she look younger than her?
“Mrs. Tao, you’ve taken good care of yourself!” Han Min said with jealousy.
Mrs. Tao sensed that her tone was not right and did not say much to her. Instead, they complimented each other. “Second Madam Zhuang too.”
Han Min felt that the title ‘Second Madam’ was really harsh, but she would not be the Second Madam soon.
“I heard that Mrs. Tao is preparing to donate. I wonder how much you have in mind.” Han Min asked.
Mrs. Tao frowned. She wanted to donate, but when she saw that the person who initiated it was Han Min, she suddenly did not want to donate so much money.
“Five million.” Mother Tao said.
Han Min chuckled. “Mrs. Tao, you might not understand our charity organization. Not everyone can donate to our charity organization. In order to ensure that the follow-up funds can be received quickly, we adopt a membership system.”
Mrs. Tao didn’t understand what she meant. Since when was there a membership system for donations?
“Our charity organization is different from other organizations. Other charity organizations are based on donations, but ours is a membership organization. The minimum amount to join is 10 million. There is no upper limit. If Mrs. Tao donates 50 million, you will then become our super member. In the future, any charity project we do will have Mrs. Tao’s name on it. Of course, if Mrs. Tao brings a friend over, we will also give your friend a very high status.”
Mother Tao found it strange. Was this really a charity? Why did it feel like illegal pyramid schemes in the name of fund-raising?
“Will the money from your charity really be used on those children?” Mrs. Tao asked.
“Of course! And not only children, but also lonely old people and young people who have lost their mobility. We will help them. However, they have to go through an assessment within the organization. Only after passing the assessment will they be given charity funds.”
This was similar to other charity organizations, but the membership system was really strange. Why did they have to donate to join?
Mrs. Tao asked, “How many members do you have now? How much donations do you have?”
Han Min knew that everyone had a herd mentality. As long as she said a little more, Mrs. Tao would definitely join immediately.
“We now have 38 members and a total donation of 750 million. “Don’t worry, Mrs. Tao. We’re a legitimate organization. We’re not trying to scam anyone.” Han Min retorted.
Mrs. Tao smiled. “Of course, I trust Second Madam Zhuang. It’s just that 1 don’t have that much money on hand right now. Five million is my limit.”
Han Min was not very happy. “Mrs. Tao, don’t joke with me. The Tao family is so rich. How could they not have tens of millions?”
“I really don’t have that much money. My husband has all my money. However, if you give me a copy of your income and expenditure, I’ll show it to him. He might give me more. After all, a family like ours can still fork out a few hundred million..”
Chapter 803: 803 A Big Problem
Han Min was a little hesitant at first, but when she heard Mrs. Tao say that she could take out a few hundred million, she immediately agreed. That was hundreds of millions. Han Min had to convince more than a dozen rich ladies to get that much money!
However, Han Min felt unbalanced again. Mrs. Tao could easily get a few hundred million yuan to donate, but she still had to spend a lot of effort to help her husband get money everywhere. It was really infuriating to hear such differences between them!
“Not only do 1 need to know the income and expenditure of your charity, but 1 also need the approval of more than ten shareholders before 1 can use the money. If I can’t do this, I won’t become a member.”
“Mrs. Tao, don’t tell me you don’t believe me?” Han Min asked unhappily.
“I’m from the Zhuang family in the capital. Don’t you trust me?”
Mrs. Tao smiled. “If it was in the past, 1 would have considered what Second Madam Zhuang said. But now, everyone in the Capital knows who the current head of the Zhuang family is. So, Second Madam Zhuang, I have to be careful about this.”
Han Min’s face darkened. She hated it when people told her about the current head of the Zhuang family. If they hadn’t returned late, how could the position of the head of the Zhuang family have fallen to that brat, Zhuang Liu?
Mrs. Tao saw that it was almost time and didn’t want to waste time with Han Min. “Print out the document first. I’ll take it back to my husband. Once he agrees, I’ll transfer the money directly to your charity account.”
Han Min’s expression immediately changed. “Alright! As long as you join us, you’ll be the most distinguished member of our charity organization.”
Mrs. Tao found it funny. A charity organization that did good deeds only needed to accept donations and items. Why did it have to be a membership system? No matter how she thought about it, this charity organization was indeed fishy.
She took the document home and prepared to show it to Mr. Tao, but he was still at work.
After a while, Tan Rou came back. She made some pear cream for her family. Autumn would dry and so drinking some pear cream was very good for their bodies.
Mrs. Tao was very happy. When she found out that Tan Rou would be eating at home, she immediately arranged for the cook to buy Tan Ron’s favorite dishes.
“Xiao Rou, Mommy has something to show you.”
Mother Tao showed Tan Rou the record and documentation that she got from Han Min. “Initially, we wanted to donate a sum of money to a charity organization in your name, but I felt that this charity organization was very strange, so 1 didn’t give them any money. Take a look. If you don’t want to donate, we can find another organization.”
Doing charity was actually a good thing. Many parents would donate in the name of their children, praying that their children would be safe. These donations would really help those in need, so Tan Rou did not object to doing charity. Instead, she often donated in the name of her family.
Tan Rou held the brochure in her hand and flipped through the charity’s income and expenditure. She realized that there seemed to be a problem with the income and expenditure.
“There’s something wrong with this thing.” Tan Rou pointed at one of the orphanage “1 know about this orphanage, but it was taken down seven years ago. So, there’s no such orphanage anymore.”
“Huh?” Mother Tao did not ask Tan Rou how she knew that the orphanage had been closed down. She only asked, “Since the orphanage is no longer there, where did the money go?”
Tan Rou looked at the list carefully and said, “It’s very likely that the places that need funding don’t exist anymore. As for the donations, they might have already fallen into private hands.”
Mrs. Tao was furious. “That’s too much. Han Min actually used the excuse of asking us to donate money to secretly take away all the funds! She’s really hateful.”
“So it was Second Madam Zhuang who started this, then it’s not strange.” Tan Rou said.
Mrs. Tao was very upset. “It’s all my fault for being too careless. I didn’t notice Han Min’s plot.”
Tan Rou comforted her. “It’s not your fault. I can only say that Han Min is too bold. She actually dared to use the guise of a charity to raise funds illegally.”
“We’ll call the police now,” said Mrs. Tao.
“There’s no need to get into trouble with us.” Tan Rou stopped her.
“Han Min is backed by the Zhuang family’s second son, so this is an internal matter of the Zhuang family. We shouldn’t interfere..”
Chapter 804: 804 Sick
“Should we leave this matter to Xiao Liu?” Mrs. Tao agreed. “It’s good that he’s handling this personally. Firstly, I’m not a member of this charity organization so that they won’t tell me many things.”
“Secondly, Xiao Liu is already the head of the Zhuang family. He has to maintain the stability of the Zhuang family. The second son of the Zhuang family has already violated the law by doing such a thing. It is up to Xiao Liu to decide whether to send them to court or continue to preserve the Zhuang family’s face.”
Although Tan Ron’s heart ached for Zhuang Liu to deal with so many things, she felt that it would be better for Zhuang Liu to handle this personally. She would let her see how capable her boyfriend was.
Zhuang Liu’s mental state had not been very good recently. Perhaps he had not seen Tan Ron much and felt uncomfortable. He closed his eyes and rested his face on his hands as he slept on the table for a few minutes.
Xiao Mo knocked on the door and came in. “Third, Young Master, come and take a look at this!”
Zhuang Liu opened his eyes tiredly. His head hurt a little, and he felt very uncomfortable. “What do you want me to see?”
Xiao Mo felt that his tone wasn’t quite right. “Third, Young Master, are you sick?”
Zhuang Liu shook his head. “I’ve been quite busy these few days. I don’t have time to rest. It’s fine.”
He had been paying attention to Zhuang Su more recently. He didn’t know much but was shocked when he investigated Zhuang Su.
He didn’t even know that there were so many Zhuang Su spies in his company. Those people still said that they wanted to be filial to him in the morning, but at night, they revealed all his secrets to Zhuang Su.
To eliminate these spies, Zhuang Liu wasted much time and energy. He could only sleep two to three hours a day, so his mental state had been very poor recently. He could sleep for five hours as long as he could lie down.
“Oh.” Xiao Mo decided to get down to business first. “1 just received this anonymous email. The sender’s IP location was hidden so 1 couldn’t trace it.”
Zhuang Liu opened the email and took a few glances. He was no longer sleepy. “This is about my second uncle and aunt’s recent movements. My second uncle has been causing much trouble in the company recently. So it’s because he has already gotten the money!”
Xiao Mo looked at the email and was shocked. Moreover, the amount is so large that it can be sentenced to life imprisonment, right?”
Zhuang Liu said, “This thing is too important to us. If the person who sent the email sends another email to discuss terms with us, try to keep this person. Whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, we must find this person.”
“Alright.” Xiao Mo said.
Zhuang Liu continued, “Send someone to keep an eye on Second Aunt Wang’s charity organization. Don’t let them transfer the money away easily. Without the support of money, my second uncle won’t be able to survive for long.”
“Don’t worry, Third Young Master. 1 won’t allow that to happen,” Xiao Mo said with a smile.
Zhuang Liu’s head started to hurt again after he finished speaking. He rubbed his temples and waved at Xiao Mo. “You go ahead and do your work. I’ll rest for a while.”
Xiao Mo saw that Zhuang Liu’s expression was not too good. He asked with concern, “Third Master, shall we call for the doctor?”
Zhuang Liu said, “No need. This is a critical period. 1 can’t let anything fall into Second Uncle’s hands. If we call the family doctor over, we will definitely be discovered by the people monitoring us. Then, Second Uncle will spread rumours about me everywhere, which will have an adverse impact on us.”
Xiao Mo understood Zhuang Liu’s meaning, but there was no reason not to see a doctor when he was sick. After thinking about it, he secretly called Tan Rou.
Zhuang Liu got off work early today. Usually, he would stay in the company until midnight, but today, he got off work as soon as it got dark. He didn’t even inform Xiao Mo and drove home alone in a daze.
When he woke up, he found herself lying on the sofa with a blanket covering her body. His mouth was a little dry. He wanted to speak, but he realized that his throat was in pain, his head was in pain, and his body seemed to be burning.
Just as he was about to call Xiao Mo for a doctor, he heard the sound of pots and pans clashing in the kitchen. His first thought was that it was a thief. Then he thought about it. His brain must have been fried. Why would a thief be in the kitchen?
“You’re awake?” A familiar figure appeared in Zhuang Liu’s line of sight. “Does your head still hurt?”
Zhuang Liu took a closer look. It was his girlfriend..
Chapter 805: 805 I’m Angry
“Xiao Ron, i miss you so much!” Zhuang Liu struggled to sit up. He hugged Tan Ron’s waist and leaned his face against her stomach. “I haven’t seen you in a long time. I feel like I’m going to die.”
“Don’t talk nonsense! Don’t say what you just said in the future,” Tan Rou scolded him.
Zhuang Liu, who had a fever, was especially obedient. He nodded and said, “Yes. Rourou told me not to say anything, so I won’t.”
Tan Ron’s tone was very cold. “Do you know that you have a fever?”
Zhuang Liu said indifferently, “It’s nothing serious. I’ve had such a situation before. As long as the fever goes down, I’ll be fine.”
Tan Rou was very angry. “When I came in, you were lying on the ground like a dried fish. Your whole body felt like it was on fire, and you kept shouting ‘headache.’ If I hadn’t found you, you might never have seen me again.”
Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Rou who was throwing a tantrum and felt a little sad. “Rourou, don’t be angry. I’m sorry.”
“I’m pissed! You’ve always told me to take care of my body, so why can’t you do it yourself?” Tan Rou said sadly.
“And you drove back alone today. You were having a fever at that time. If something happens on the way, what do you want me to do?”
Tan Rou was terrified. She was stunned when she heard from Xiao Mo that Zhuang Liu had disappeared from the company. She was having dinner with her family, but Xiao Mo’s phone call caused her to lose her appetite. She rushed to the company to look for Zhuang Liu, and finally saw Zhuang Liu driving away from the surveillance room.
Zhuang Liu didn’t reply to her messages and she couldn’t get through to his phone. Tan Rou had no choice but to hack into the surveillance cameras along the way and look for Zhuang Liu bit by bit. In the end, she found that he had gone home.
Tan Rou rushed to Zhuang Liu’s house. As soon as she entered, she saw Zhuang Liu lying at the entrance. The smart home system had turned on the lights. Otherwise, Tan Rou would have stepped on Zhuang Liu who was lying on the ground.
In order to take care of the sick Zhuang Liu, Tan Rou moved him to the sofa and helped him bring down his temperature. She also went to the kitchen to make medicine and porridge for him because Xiao Mo said that Zhuang Liu had not eaten since noon.
Zhuang Liu knew that he was wrong. He carefully hooked Tan Ron’s finger and apologized sincerely. “1 know 1 was wrong. Don’t be angry, okay?”
At this moment, Tan Rou also became childish. “I’ll at least have to be mad for three minutes.”
Zhuang Liu held her hand. “I’ll wait for you then.”
When the three minutes were up, Tan Rou immediately took out a temperature gun from the first aid kit and took Zhuang Liuliu’s temperature. It was 39.3 degrees Celsius and he was still running a high fever.
“Hurry up and lie down.” Tan Rou pressed Zhuang Liu onto the sofa. “I’ll get you some fever medicine.”
She was the one who made the medication for Zhuang Liu. Moreover, their house was very close to each other. If Tan Rou needed any medicine, Li Li and the others could immediately send it over. It was very convenient.
Zhuang Liu took the medicine and drank the nutritious porridge that Tan Rou had made for him. After a while, his fever finally subsided.
Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Ron’s busy figure. He suddenly didn’t want Tan Rou to go back. When Tan Rou walked to his side, he grabbed her hand and said pitifully, “Rourou, can you stay with me tonight?”
“What if I don’t?” Tan Rou frowned.
“If you have a fever again in the middle of the night, who will take care of you?”
Zhuang Liu was very touched. “Rourou, you’re so good to me.”
Tan Rou touched his head. After confirming that his fever had completely subsided, she said, “It’s good that you know. You can’t torture your body like this in the future. If you do this again, I’ll really be angry.”
“Yes.” Zhuang Liu felt that he was really blessed from the bottom of his heart!
“Go back to your room and rest. I’ll make you some medicine so that you can drink it tomorrow,” Tan Rou said gently.
Zhuang Liu didn’t want Tan Rou to be too tired. “I’ll just buy the medicine tomorrow. You don’t have to be so tired.”
“Alright, go to sleep.” Tan Rou pushed Zhuang Liu into the room. “Be good. I’ll go accompany you in a while.”
Zhuang Liu’s eyes lit up. “Are you going to sleep with me tonight?”
“Uh…” Tan Rou avoided his gaze. “1 mean, I’ll go over to see if you have a fever when you’re asleep.”
“That’s all?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Tan Rou was annoyed by his questions. “I’ll go home if you ask me any more weird questions.”
Zhuang Liu’s face was bitter. “Alright, i’ll go to bed now..”
Chapter 806: 806 Don’t Know Her
Tan Ron’s medicine was very effective. Zhuang Liu’s fever immediately subsided after taking it, and he did not have any more temperature spike. However, the medicine had a sleeping effect. Zhuang Liu slept until dawn. When he woke up, Tan Rou was sleeping beside him.
Tan Rou was still sleeping. Zhuang Liu did not have the heart to wake her up, so he lay on the bed and quietly watched her sleeping face.
“What time is it?” Tan Rou seemed to have sensed that someone was looking at her. She woke up with a start. She rubbed her eyes and asked, “What time is it now?”
Zhuang Liu glanced at the clock on the wall and replied, “It’s only 6:30 now. It’s still early. You should sleep a little longer.”
Usually, Tan Rou would have already woken up at 6:30 am to do her morning exercise. However, in order to take care of Zhuang Liu last night, she had only slept at 12 am. Therefore, she was still a little sleepy, so she canceled her morning exercise this morning.
At seven o’clock, Zhuang Liu woke Tan Rou up. The two of them washed their faces and brushed their teeth. Then, they went to eat the breakfast that Zhuang Liu had prepared. His cooking skills had improved a lot compared to last time, and Tan Rou even praised him.
After that, Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou went home to change. Then, the two of them went to school together.
Zhuang Liu liked this kind of life very much. If it wasn’t for the lack of time, he really wanted to do this every day.
When they arrived at the school, Zhuang Liu also got out of the car and sent Tan Rou to the door. However, they met someone at the door. That person suddenly rushed out as if he was going to rob them.
Zhuang Liu subconsciously protected Tan Rou. “What are you doing?” he questioned.
Ying Xian looked back and shouted, “Xiao Rou, I’m your Brother Ying Xian. Don’t you remember me?”
Tan Rou naturally remembered Ying Xian. He was her best friend in the laboratory. However, it was such a ‘good brother’ who secretly colluded with Liu Xing. Not only did he steal a lot of glory that belonged to Tan Rou, but he also harmed her in the end.
In her previous life, Ying Xian and Liu Xing got married. Their wedding was organized by the country. Almost all the big shots from all walks of life attended the wedding because they were also big shots in the scientific research world and had a lot of influence.
Tan Rou walked to the front and glanced at him coldly. “I don’t know him. Please make way. I have to go to class.”
Ying Xian stared at Tan Rou. He had been secretly observing Tan Rou for the past few days. As he was quite far away, he did not see what Tan Rou looked like now. Tan Rou was really beautiful and had a good temperament. She was much more beautiful than Liu Xing, who only liked to wear blue dresses every day.
Zhuang Liu sensed Ying Xian’s gaze. His male intuition told him that the person in front of him was coveting his girlfriend. Hence, he frowned and said, “Mr. Ying, right? Please make way. My girlfriend is going to school.”
Only then did Ying Xian notice Zhuang Liu. Earlier, he had focused all his attention on Tan Rou and did not notice who the man standing beside Tan Rou was. Now that Zhuang Liu had spoken, he realized that this man was Zhuang Liu, the current head of the Zhuang family.
“Who are you?” Ying Xian was very surprised. “What did you call her?”
Zhuang Liu held Tan Ron’s hand and said solemnly, “She’s my girlfriend.”
Tan Rou snickered. She felt that Zhuang Liu was a little childish, but he was quite cute like this.
“Xiao Rou, is he really your boyfriend?” asked Ying Xian.
“Why should 1 answer you? Sir, do we know each other?” Tan Rou sneered.
Ying Xian was a little confused. Didn’t Liu Xing say that Tan Ron’s memory had been restored? But why didn’t she remember him?
Zhuang Liu was very happy. He said to Tan Rou, “You’re going to be late. Let’s go in quickly.”
Tan Rou tidied up the corner of his clothes and said, “You can just send me to the door. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a good meal together. I’ll treat you tonight. Can you do me the honor of picking me up then?”
Zhuang Liu was very excited. “Yes, I’ll get off work early today.”
“Don’t forget to take your medicine,” Tan Rou said gently.
After Zhuang Liu left, Tan Rou walked towards the teaching building. However, Ying Xian had been teaching at school recently, and he could also get into Capital University, so he followed behind Tan Rou and kept asking her about their relationship.
“Do I know you?” Tan Rou was annoyed and stopped in her tracks. “Can you stop following me like a fly?”
Ying Xian was very sad. “Xiao Rou, I’m your Brother Ying Xian!”
“I don’t know you! Go away! If you don’t leave, I’m going to call security..”
Chapter 807: 807 Continue to Monitor
“You really don’t remember me at all? In the past, when we were in the laboratory, you liked me the most. You would chase after me every day and call me brother. Don’t you remember?”
If she could, Tan Rou really wanted to travel back in time and slap herself twice. Why didn’t she notice the relationship between Ying Xian and Liu Xing? Especially Ying Xian. She shouldn’t have called this man ‘brother*. Tan Rou felt disgusted when she thought of this.
Tan Rou was only four years old when she was brought to the laboratory. She was very afraid. At that time, Ying Xian appeared. Ying Xian was seven years older than her and was already a small adult, so Tan Rou relied on him very much.
“Do you think 1 should remember you?” Tan Rou asked.
Ying Xian frowned. “Xiao Rou, although you lost your memory, it’s okay. 1 will definitely help you. 1 will never let you get hurt again.”
Tan Rou found it ridiculous. “Do you think there’s anyone else who would hurt me besides you?”
Ying Xian’s expression froze. “You didn’t lose your memory?”
Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t Liu Xing tell you that 1 didn’t lose my memory?”
Of course, Liu Xing had said it. It was just that when Ying Xian saw Tan Ron’s expression just now, he could not tell if she had lost her memory.
“Xiao Rou, since you’re back and have regained your memory, let’s have a meal to celebrate. Your Sister Liu Xing misses you quite a bit,” said Ying Xian.
“Does she miss me or my invention?” Tan Rou mocked. “She probably doesn’t want to see me. What she wants most is for me to die.”
Ying Xian smiled awkwardly. “Rourou, why would you think that? We’ve been friends for many years, Liu Xing won’t harm you.”
“Do you believe what you just said?” Tan Rou asked.
Ying Xian avoided her gaze. He did not dare to look directly into Tan Ron’s eyes. He only dared to explain in a low voice, “We all care about you very much. Not only Xing and I, but also the old men in the lab. They care about you very much. If they know that you’re back, they’ll be very happy. Oh, right, have you seen them since you came back to the capital?”
Tan Rou didn’t want to tell Ying Xian that they had already met. “No. Since we haven’t met for so many years, there’s no need for us to meet again. 1 have nothing to say to them.”
“Have you forgotten how everyone took care of you when you were in the laboratory?” Ying Xian was very dissatisfied with Tan Ron’s attitude.
“Who do you think my pain comes from?” Tan Rou asked.
“Did I ask to be sent into the laboratory? Also, since you said you took care of me, where were you when I was injured?”
“We can’t do anything about your situation,” said Ying Xian.
“In that case, don’t bother me.” Tan Rou turned around and left. “I have my own life now. Please don’t disturb me again!”
Ying Xian did not expect Tan Rou to have such an attitude. After all, he had taken care of her before. Was she not going to give him any face? Wasn’t it just hooking up with the Zhuang family? What’s the big deal?
What was Zhuang Liu’s status? What was Tan Ron’s status? Did she really think that Zhuang Liu would marry her?
Ying Xian returned to Liu Xing’s studio in a huff. Liu Xing asked her if she had seen Tan Rou. He said angrily, “I have.”
“Did you get any useful information?” Liu Xing asked urgently.
Ying Xian replied, “No, Tan Ron’s attitude towards me was very cold. She left after saying a few words.” Moreover, it seemed that she did not want to be involved with the people from the past. Xing, do you really think she will affect your certification?”
Liu Xing said, “Tan Rou is very ambitious. She likes to fight with me for everything. If she knows that I’m taking this certification, she will definitely come and interfere with me. I will never allow such a thing to happen.”
Ying Xian didn’t say anything. He felt that Tan Rou didn’t seem to have this intention because Tan Rou was currently in a relationship with his family head. Why would she bother with Liu Xing?
“Continue to keep an eye on Tan Rou and tell me all the news about her.” Liu Xing said.
Ying Xian did not really want to go. “Forget it…” Just as he was about to refuse, he was interrupted by Liu Xing.
Liu Xing looked into his eyes and said seriously, “You will help me, right?”
Chapter 808: 808 Get Lost
Ying Xian was still hesitating. Suddenly, Liu Xing placed his hand on his neck and gently kissed him on the lips. “Ah Xian, you will help me, right?”
Ying Xian immediately stopped hesitating. He hugged Liu Xing’s waist and said affectionately, “1 will definitely help you.”
Liu Xing was very satisfied. She instructed, “Hurry up and go back to school. You have to help me keep an eye on Tan Ron. Send me news about her at all times, understand?”
“Alright,” replied Ying Xian obediently.
After Ying Xian left, Liu Xing couldn’t sit still anymore. She quickly called the others. She couldn’t completely trust Ying Xian because Tan Ron and Ying Xian used to have a very good relationship. There was no guarantee that Ying Xian wouldn’t hook up with Tan Ron one day. Moreover, Ying Xian was not as smart as Tan Rou. If Tan Rou wanted to deal with him, Ying Xian wouldn’t be able to deal with her alone. Therefore, Liu Xing had to think of another way.
Back then, there were too many people who disliked Tan Rou in the laboratory. Otherwise, why didn’t anyone stand up for Tan Rou? She was too smart. Smart people were easily envied by others, while smart and unsociable people were hated by others. Tan Rou was the kind of person who was hated by others.
Knowing that Tan Rou had returned to the capital and regained her memories, many people would definitely not sit still. Liu Xing was looking for these people.
Ying Xian had received Liu Xing’s mission, so he had been following Tan Rou. He went wherever Tan Rou went. He was clearly here to teach, but he had not attended many classes. He spent most of his time following Tan Rou.
He followed Tan Rou, and the other students also saw it. Hence, the story of ‘the unspeakable love story between a professor and a university student’ spread among the students. All the students thought that Ying Xian was Tan Ron’s admirer, and even Li Li and Tian Tian thought so.
“Xiao Rou, is that teacher chasing you? Why does he buy things for us every day?” Li Li asked as she drank her milk tea.
Tan Rou said, “If he buys you things, you can take them with ease. However, if he wants to ask you questions, don’t say anything. He is not my friend, nor is he my suitor. He is my enemy.”
Li Li threw away the milk tea in her hand. “He’s your enemy. Will the things he bought for us be poisoned?”
“It wouldn’t.” Tan Rou knew Ying Xian’s character. “He would not do something so stupid as to poison everyone. Don’t worry about it. Just ignore him.”
“Alright.” Li Li brought the milk tea back. This milk tea was quite expensive, so she couldn’t waste it. However, she didn’t plan to eat it again next time. After all, this man was Tan Rou’s enemy. She wanted to be on Tan Ron’s side.
Ying Xian had bought many things for Tan Rou’s classmates, hoping to get information about Tan Rou from them. However, those students knew too little, and there was no useful information at all. Tan Rou’s friends were too tight-lipped. No matter how he asked, they wouldn’t say a word.
Ying Xian had no choice but to come personally to find Tan Rou.
As soon as Tan Rou finished class, she saw Ying Xian carrying a large bouquet of yellow roses over. The yellow roses were meant to apologize. Did Ying Xian want to apologize to her by bringing this over?
Ying Xian walked over. He smiled and said, “Xiao Rou, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Are you free tonight? Let’s go have a meal!”
Tan Rou rejected him again. “I told you last time that I don’t want to eat with you guys, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Ying Xian stuffed the roses into Tan Rou’s hands. “Rou Rou, don’t be angry with us. We were the ones who were wrong back then but it’s been so long. Are you still at us?”
Tan Rou frowned. “Take your things away and stay away from me!”
However, Ying Xian grabbed Tan Rou’s arm. They were both from the laboratory, and Ying Xian had also been trained. Therefore, Tan Rou was easily caught.
“Tonight! I’ve already booked the restaurant,” Ying Xian said.
“Get lost!” Tan Rou was furious. She pushed Ying Xian away and roared.
“Tan Rou, what do you mean by this?” Ying Xian said coldly with a straight face.
“We’ve been good friends for so many years. Now, we just want to treat you to a meal. How could you be so heartless?!”
“Don’t tell me you’ve also taken a fancy to Tan Rou’s status as the eldest daughter of the Tao family and are here to suck up to her?” Chen Yao, who was passing by, asked faintly..
Chapter 809: 809 Big News
“What are you talking about?” asked Ying Xian, stunned. “Who’s the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the capital?”
Chen Yao pointed at Tan Rou. “Don’t you know that she’s the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the capital?” She sneered.
“Everyone around her knows that even my best friend of many years abandoned me to curry favor with her.”
Lan Ning was standing beside Tan Rou. She was furious when she heard Chen Yao’s words. “Chen Yao, when did 1 suck up to Rourou? Rourou and I are just normal friends. Don’t place your dirty thoughts onto others!”
Chen Yao didn’t believe it. “If she wasn’t the eldest daughter of the Tao family, would you still be friends with her?” she asked.
“Of course! 1 make friends with people because of their character,” Lan Ning answered without thinking. “It’s not because of their status. If they have good character, I’ll make friends with them even if they’re beggars.”
Chen Yao pursed her lips. “Who would believe that?”
Lan Ning still wanted to argue with Chen Yao, but was stopped by Li Li. “Don’t talk to her anymore. You can’t reason with this kind of person.”
Lan Ning ran off angrily.
Ying Xian was still digesting the news he had just received. They seemed to know that Tan Rou was the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the capital, so it wouldn’t be something fake. Moreover, he met Zhuang Liu at the gate the other day. Who was Zhuang Liu? If Tan Rou was just an ordinary girl, why would Zhuang Liu fall for her?
Thinking of this, Ying Xian did not force Tan Rou to eat with him. He quickly carried the yellow rose to Liu Xing. He had to tell Liu Xing about this first. If Tan Rou was really the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the capital, then it would be very difficult for them to deal with Tan Rou.
“Is there something wrong with this person’s brain?” Li Li was a little puzzled. “Didn’t he want to treat you to a meal? Why did he run away when he heard that you were the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the capital?”
Tan Rou knew why Ying Xian had left. “Ying Xian is just a dog. The dog’s owner is waiting for him to return.”
Li Li finally understood. “Oh, so someone is directing him from behind.”
Ying Xian left the school and went straight to Liu Xing’s studio. He originally wanted to call Liu Xing to tell her about it, but he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to explain it over the phone, so he drove back and told him in person.
“Xing, do you know who is behind Tan Rou?” Ying Xian appeared at the door of Liu Xing’s office, panting. “You won’t be able to guess who it is.”
Liu Xing looked at his impatient appearance and was not very satisfied with his behavior. “All Xian, I’ve told you many times not to come in and disturb me when I’m working.”
Ying Xian couldn’t wait any longer. He said directly,” Tan Rou is the eldest daughter of the Tao family of the Capital. Her current boyfriend is the head of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Liu. That morning, I saw Zhuang Liu send her to school. The two of them are very close.”
“Is that authentic news?” Liu Xing stood up from her chair and asked.
“Tan Ron’s classmates all said the same thing,” Ying Xian said. “On the way back, 1 did a search for the daughter of the Tao family. However, other than her name, it didn’t reveal anything else.”
Liu Xing was a little excited. She immediately switched to her own intranet and began to search for news about Tan Rou and her relationship with the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the capital. After searching for a long time, she finally found Tan Ron’s figure in a photo that was revealed when the second daughter of the Tao family, Tao Yue, was in trouble. Although it was only a side profile, Liu Xing could recognize that it was Tan Rou.
“How did this happen?” Liu Xing could not believe it. “Isn’t she the daughter of the Tan family? How did she become the eldest daughter of the Tao family?”
She had thought that the Tan family had gone bankrupt and that Tan Rou had long lost her backing. She did not expect Tan Rou to be the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the capital. The Tao family in the capital was a hundred times stronger than the Tan family. If anything happened to Tan Rou, the Tao family in the capital would definitely not let them off. How could Tan Ron’s boyfriend be the head of the Zhuang family? How did they know each other?
“Xing, do we still have to keep an eye on Tan Rou?” Ying Xian asked.
“Of course!” Liu Xing clenched his fists. “Even if she’s the eldest daughter of the Tao family in the Capital, I won’t be afraid. 1 can’t let her ruin my future! You have to help me!”
Ying Xian had no choice but to continue helping her..
Chapter 810: 810 This Seat Is Dirty
Last time, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu agreed to have dinner together, but they canceled the date because Tan Rou had something to do at the last minute. Tan Rou finally had time today, so Zhuang Liu came to look for her for dinner as soon as he got off work.
Tan Rou had arranged a place for today’s meal. It was at Tianyi Restaurant opposite the school. Tan Rou had eaten here a few times. The taste was delicious, and the price was reasonable, so Tan Rou decided to bring Zhuang Liu here.
They always went to eat big meals and occasionally tried the stir-fried dishes made by small restaurants. Perhaps they would have a different experience.
Zhuang Liu arrived early. There were no private rooms in Tianyi Restaurant, so he could only choose a more secluded corner to wait for Tan Rou. Even so, he was still found.
Meng Xiao sat down on the chair opposite Zhuang Liu and said with a smile, “Zhuang Liu, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here at mealtime. It must be fate that we met. Why don’t we have a meal together?”
“Get lost, I don’t want to see you,” Zhuang Liu said without looking up.
Meng Xiao’s smile froze. She really wanted to leave, but she couldn’t. Old Master Meng was watching her from not far away. If she didn’t talk to Zhuang Liu for 15 minutes, Old Master Meng would ensure that Nick disappeared from the entertainment industry tomorrow. Meng Xiao loved Nick’s too much. She had to protect Nick’s dream.
Meng Xiao continued to maintain his smile. “Zhuang Liu, why are you doing this? I want to treat you to a meal. 1 didn’t ask you to go through a mountain of knives or a sea of fire. Why are you so angry?”
“I have nothing to say to you.” Zhuang Liu said coldly.
Xiao Mo could see Zhuang Liu’s impatience, so he spoke up. “Second Miss Meng, our Third Young Master has something important to do today. Please leave now. If you don’t, I’ll have to call the police.”
“Is there a need to call the police for such a small matter?” Meng Xiao asked.
“Then why don’t you just leave quickly? If 1 were you, I wouldn’t even sit here,” Xiao Mo said.
Meng Xiao was furious. She grabbed her bag and said, “Fine, I’ll leave now!”
She had just taken a few steps when Tan Rou came over. When she saw Meng Xiao, Tan Rou was a little puzzled. Why was Meng Xiao here?
“The important thing you said is to have dinner with her?” Meng Xiao asked in disbelief.
“That’s right.” Xiao Mo replied.
“Otherwise, do you think Third Young Master has something important to do?”
Tan Rou smiled. “What’s so important about eating?”
“It’s very important to eat with you,” Zhuang Liu answered seriously.
Tan Rou pulled out a chair and was about to sit when Zhuang Liu stopped her. “Wait a minute, this chair is too dirty. Let’s get a new one.”
Tan Rou looked at the shiny wooden chair and asked curiously. “Why is this chair dirty?”
“Miss Tan Rou,” Xiao Mo explained, “some unwelcome guests have just used this chair. You should change to another chair.”
Tan Rou immediately understood what Xiao Mo meant. She glanced at Meng Xiao, who was still standing there. “Then let’s get a new one.”
When Meng Xiao heard Xiao Mo say that the chair she had sat on was dirty, she was furious. “What right do you have to say that my chair is dirty?”
“I’m not saying you’re dirty. I’m just saying that the perhaps the Meng family isn’t clean?” Xiao Mo mocked.
Meng Xiao’s lungs were about to explode from anger. “How dare you speak ill of our family? You’re dead!”
“Is that so?” Zhuang Liu smiled. “Xiao Mo is my assistant, so he’s from the Zhuang family. How do you plan to kill him?”
Meng Xiao’s expression changed. She dared to deal with Xiao Mo, but she would never dare to deal with Zhuang Liu.
“Zhuang Liu, it’s not that we want him to die, but the words he said just now were too unpleasant. What did he mean by my family being dirty?!”
“The reason is simple.” Zhuang Liu shifted his gaze to the menu again. “You’ll know when you return and ask your grandfather about your elder sister Meng Si.”
After so many days, Meng Xiao still didn’t know what Meng Si had done wrong. Moreover, she had only seen Meng Si once before her grandfather locked her up.
She really wanted to ask about Meng Si, but the moment she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Old Master Meng. “Don’t ask anymore! Come back!”
Meng Xiao could only shut his mouth and leave with a belly full of anger..
