Chapter 851: 851 You Should Go With Her

....

 

Ilan Min watched as the dumbfounded He Xi was taken away by the mental hospital doctor. She wanted to stop them but could not say anything. She had already said that she was not familiar with He Xi. If she asked for He Xi back now, the police would definitely bring her along. She did not want to go to the police station or the mental hospital.

“Xiao Rou, are you hurt?” Shen Jing pulled Tan Rou over nervously and carefully checked if there were any wounds on her body. “If you’re injured, I’ll never let that psychopath He Xi off!”

After saying that, she glared at Han Min coldly.

Han Min’s heart tightened. Ever since Shen Jing’s body recovered, Han Min felt afraid every time she saw Shen Jing. She was worried that Shen Jing would find out that she had poisoned her back then. Although Han Min did not poison her too much, she was the one who suggested it. If Shen Jing found out, she would definitely not let her off.

“Sister-in-law, don’t look at me like that. I didn’t hurt anyone with scissors. Besides, isn’t Tan Rou fine?” Han Min asked.

Shen Jing sneered, “You should be glad that Xiao Rou isn’t injured. If she was injured, not only would 1 not let He Xi off, but the Tao family would also not let the He family off easily. Although the He family’s business has been transferred overseas over the years, the Tao family still has influence overseas.”

Han Min knew that the Tao family had great influence. If the Tao family really investigated what happened today, the He family would not be able to handle it.

“Sister-in-law, let’s forget about this matter.” Zhuang Su defended his wife. “Miss Tao is not injured, and He Xi has become a fool, so let’s not pursue the matter anymore.”

“Second Brother, 1 heard from Xiao Liu that He Xi has been staying by your side ever since she returned to the country. Since you know that she’s not in a good mental state, why did you let her out?”

Zhuang Su and his wife could not explain the problem at all because they let He Xi out to deal with Zhuang Liu. They couldn’t tell Zhuang Yan that they let He Xi come back to stall Zhuang Liu.

Han Min then pointed the finger at Tan Rou. “Although He Xi’s mental state is not good, she will only attack others when she is provoked. It must be the eldest daughter of the Tao family who provoked her. That’s why she hurt others.”

Tan Rou sneered. “Indeed.”

Before Han Min could speak, she continued, “1 got first place in today’s fragrance competition. He Xi couldn’t stand it and went crazy. Does this count as me provoking her? I don’t know why she would participate in the competition with such a mentality.”

“Is there a need to send a little girl to a mental hospital because of a match?” Han Min asked.

“That’s enough. If Second Sister-in-law wants to protect her niece, go to the mental hospital to accompany her. Don’t make a fuss here!” Zhuang Yan suddenly said.

Han Min glared at him and pinched Zhuang Su’s back. “Why are you pretending to be mute again?”

Zhuang Yan saw that Han Min was giving Zhuang Su a look, so he said, “Second Brother, this is your family matter. You should handle it well. Don’t embarrass yourself outside.”

Zhuang Su’s face was livid. He had been annoyed by Han Min for the past few years. He Xi was mentally ill, and he saw that Han Min was about to act up as well. “Han Min, shut up!”

Han Min was stunned. “How dare you scold me!” She was about to scratch Zhuang Su.

Zhuang Su grabbed her wrist tightly and said sternly, “Don’t make a scene here. If you dare to make any more noise, I’ll send you to the mental hospital too. You should enjoy the treatment your niece enjoys!”

Han Min was so angry that her head hurt. “She’s also your niece!”

“I don’t have such a crazy niece!” Zhuang Su turned around and left without saying goodbye to his brother and sister-in-law.

Han Min looked at Zhuang Su and then at Tan Rou and the others. She said fiercely, “1 won’t let this matter rest. Just you wait!”

Zhuang Liu said, “Second Aunt, you should take care of yourself. Everything that happened today have been captured by the surveillance camera. I have already copied what happened and sent it to He Xi’s father. 1 think he already knows what you did to He Xi.”

Han Min felt as if she had been struck by lightning. “How dare you do this?”

Zhuang Liu smiled. “If you can call He Xi back, I can get rid of her.”

As she spoke, Han Min’s phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, she did not dare to pick up the phone. She hung up the phone directly and left without saying a word..

 

Chapter 852: 852 Are You Asking For A Beating?

....

 

With such an unforeseen event, the Fragrance Festival could not continue. The organizers were prepared to send the prizes to the homes of the contestants.

Tan Rou had already won first place. It was meaningless to win first place again, so she didn’t want this award.

Song Xiang hesitated for a while, but she still went to Tan Rou’s side. “Tan Rou, can we talk alone for a while?”

Tan Rou knew what Song Xiang wanted to talk about. She didn’t mind telling Song Xiang asking her where she had been all these years and whether she would return to the Association of Fragrance in the future. However, Tan Rou didn’t want to join her.

“I don’t have time. Such a big thing happened just now. My heart is still beating violently, so I have to go to the hospital now,” Tan Rou said.

Song Xiang took out her phone. “Then leave your current contact information so that we can send you the prizes in the future.”

Tan Rou smiled. “1 don’t really want this prize. Besides, if He Xi didn’t coem after me, 1 wouldn’t have participated in this competition. I won’t be taking the prize this time. Let’s talk about it in the future.”

Song Xiang watched Tan Rou leave. She really wanted Tan Rou to stay, but Tan Rou’s heart was not here. However, she would also pay attention to Tan Rou at all times. The Fragrance Association could not afford to lose such a genius a second time.

Zhuang Liu drove Tan Rou back. He wanted to make Tan Rou happy today, but He Xi ruined it. Fortunately, the perfume he made for Tan Rou had already been delivered to her, so this trip was not in vain.

“You really don’t have time to come over at night?” Zhuang Liu could not bear to part with Tan Rou. He had specially set aside a day to go on a date with Tan Rou. Moreover, he had already arranged his schedule. If Tan Rou couldn’t come over, they would have to wait a long time before they could meet again. He would miss Tan Rou.

Tan Rou massaged the space between her eyebrows. “I’m a little tired today. Can we meet another time?” She also wanted to go out with Zhuang Liu, but that lunatic He Xi ruined her mood today. Even if she went out with Zhuang Liu, she would not be happy.

“Alright.” Zhuang Liu patted Tan Rou’s head and said gently, “Don’t tire yourself out. Rest more.”

Tan Rou moved closer to Zhuang Liu’s face and kissed him on the cheek. “You have to rest more as well. Also, now that He Xi has been sent to the mental hospital, your second uncle and the others will definitely think of other ways to deal with you. You have to pay more attention to their movements.”

“Alright.” Zhuang Liu opened the car door and sent Tan Rou off. “Are you really not free tonight? 1 really want to spend more time with you.”

Tao Zheng happened to see Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu holding hands and talking at the door. He rolled down the window and heard that Zhuang Liu wanted to invite his cute sister to Zhuang Liu’s house tonight. How could he allow this?

“You brat, are you looking for a beating?” Tao Zheng pressed the car horn and stuck his head out of the window. “Just you wait. 1’11 go down and beat you up right now!”

When Zhuang Liu saw Tao Zheng, he didn’t panic at all. If the other members of the Tao family saw him with Tan Rou, he would have to explain. But if it was the Tao brothers, there was no need to explain.

“Second Brother-in-law, long time no see. Are you here for lunch?” Zhuang Liu greeted Tao Zheng very naturally.

Tao Zheng’s face darkened and he said angrily, “Don’t try to get close to me. Just you wait. I’m going to park the car in the garage now. When I come up, I’ll beat you up!”

Tan Rou shook her head helplessly. She said softly to Zhuang Liu, “Don’t tease my second brother. If you provoke him, he will really hit you.”

“Who will you help if I fight with your second brother?” Zhuang Liu raised his eyebrows and asked.

Tan Rou blinked mischievously. “I won’t help anyone. When anyone of you get injured, I’ll stap needles into you both as my lab rats.”

“Hey, 1 thought you would help me,” Zhuang Liu said sadly.

Tan Rou said, “Stop pretending. Go back and have lunch. 1’11 call you later.”

Zhuang Liu bargained. “1 want to video call you every day. 1 want to see you.”

“Okay, okay. I’ll call you,” Tan Rou agreed.

Tao Zheng rushed out of the underground parking lot, but Zhuang Liu had already left, leaving Tan Rou alone waiting for him at the door.

“Where’s Zhuang Liu?” Tao Zheng looked around.. “Get him here!”

 

Chapter 853: 853 Can’t Be Deceived

....

 

“He went home for dinner,” Tan Ron said.

Tao Zheng frowned and said to Tan Ron earnestly, “Rourou, we don’t object to you dating Zhuang Liu, but you have to protect yourself, understand?”

“Second Brother, I’m pretty good at fighting. No one should be able to hurt me,” Tan Rou said.

“I didn’t mean what you think I meant when I said protect myself,” Tao Zheng said awkwardly.

“Don’t worry about me, Second Brother. I’ll protect myself.” Tan Rou said.

Tao Zheng was very anxious. He wasn’t very good at speaking, so he couldn’t express what he wanted to say clearly.

Tan Rou could tell that he was very anxious, so she said, “Second Brother, just say what you have to say. Don’t hold it in.”

Tao Zheng hesitated for a moment, then pulled Tan Rou to the side and whispered, “What I meant was that you must not go to Zhuang Liu’s house to sleep! You’re still a young girl who has just started university. You can’t be deceived by Zhuang Liu!”

“Zhuang Liu wouldn’t lie to me.” Tan Rou shook her head.

“I’m a man,” Tao Zheng said seriously, “1 understand men’s thoughts the best. Zhuang Liu looked very kind, but in fact, he was a hungry wolf coveting a cute lamb like you. If he wanted to do something to you, you couldn’t stop him! So don’t go to Zhuang Liu’s house, no matter if its day or night!”

Tan Rou felt that Tao Zheng was overthinking things. She had been there so many times, but nothing had happened. Moreover, she knew Zhuang Liu very well. Zhuang Liu would never do such a thing. Otherwise, they would have done something that they shouldn’t have done when they were drunk last time.

“Second Brother, you’re thinking too much. Zhuang Liu and 1 haven’t developed to that stage yet.” Tan Rou said, “And 1 know what I’m doing. I won’t sleep with him before I graduate from university.”

Tao Zheng was still worried. He quickly searched for a few videos for Tan Rou to see. The female protagonists in these videos were all university students. They were all deceived by men and eventually abandoned when they were pregnant.

Tan Rou understood that her brother wanted to protect her, but she wasn’t stupid. She wouldn’t do things that would hurt her.

“Second Brother, I promise you that before we get married, I will never do that kind of thing with him, and I won’t give you a little nephew in advance.” Tan Rou said.

Tao Zheng nodded. “Xiao Rou, don’t blame me for being a busybody. I just wanted to protect you. Besides, you’re the only girl at home now. We’re really worried that you’ll be cheated away by others.”

“Yes, 1 understand.” Tan Ron’s heart felt warm. “Both Eldest Brother and Second Brother treat me very well.” Then, she changed the topic.

“Second Brother, have you seen Eldest Brother recently? He hasn’t been here for a long time. When 1 ask him to come over for dinner, he always makes excuses not to come over.”

As expected, Tao Zheng was led astray by Tan Rou. He was also thinking about how long it had been since he last saw Tao Zhi. “I think it’s been almost a month since I last saw him. 1 heard that he’s been staying in the company recently. He doesn’t even go back to the old mansion.”

Tan Rou was worried that Tao Zhi’s body wouldn’t be able to take it. “Second Brother, if you have time, go and see him. It can be quite tiring to be alone all these while.”

Tao Zheng happened to have nothing to do now. “Alright, I’ll go to the company to look for him now and ask him to come over for dinner tonight.”

“Okay, I’ll ask Aunt Zhou to prepare some of his favorite food.” Tan Rou said.

Tao Zheng had just come out of the garage and was about to leave. Before he left, he reminded Tan Rou again, “Rourou, you must have dinner with us tonight. Don’t go to Zhuang Liu, that brat. Don’t be deceived by him!”

Tan Rou found it funny. Her second brother still remembered this. “Okay, I won’t go tonight.”

After Tao Zheng left, Tan Rou called Zhuang Liu. She had asked Zhuang Liu to leave quickly because she was afraid that he would overthink things.

“Did your second brother make things difficult for you?” Zhuang Liu asked.

“No,” Tan Rou replied with a smile.

“It’s just that he somehow saw some female college students getting pregnant before marriage and being abandoned. He’s worried that 1’11 be hurt like them.”

“Rourou, I won’t do that,” Zhuang Liu quickly said.

“Yeah, I won’t be like those girls.”

“So you really can’t come over tonight?” Zhuang Liu asked again.

“Do you want my big brother and second brother to go find you with their machetes?” Tan Rou asked with a smile..

 

Chapter 854: 854 Discovering a Secret

....

 

Zhuang Liu said that he didn’t want to be looked down upon by Tan Rou. “Actually, the two of them together can’t beat me.”

Tan Rou understood what Zhuang Liu meant. “But you can’t fight them. If you hurt them, we can’t be together anymore.”

Zhuang Liu’s heart ached a little. “What if your big brother and second brother hurt me?”

“First of all, my heart will ache for you. Secondly, I’ll stop them before they make a move,” Tan Rou analyzed.

“Lastly, if they really hurt you, I will be responsible for treating you.”

When Zhuang Liu heard Tan Ron’s words, he was happy and sad. Tan Rou was indeed thinking for him, but every word Tan Rou said showed that she was on her brother’s side.

“Alright, 1’11 try not to fight with your brothers.” Zhuang Liu said sadly.

“Are you free tomorrow morning?” Tan Rou asked when she saw his disappointed expression. “Let’s go out for a run together.”

Zhuang Liu’s expression changed immediately. “Okay, see you tomorrow morning.”

While Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were chatting, Tao Zheng rushed to Tao Zhi’s company and pulled Tao Zhi down from his work desk, telling him that he was going to Tan Ron’s place for dinner tonight.

When Tao Zhi heard that they were going to Tan Rou’s place for dinner, he refused to go no matter what. “I still have work to finish. Let’s go another day.” “What’s wrong with you?” Tao Zheng didn’t understand. “Did you quarrel with Xiao Rou? Or did she find you annoying and not let you go over?”

“Neither,” Tao Zhi said. “I’ve just been quite busy recently.”

“I don’t believe you. You used to be very busy, but you went to Xiao Rou’s place almost every day and bought a lot of snacks for those girls.” But now, not only are you not buying snacks, you’re not even going. What exactly happened?”

The image of the girl who loved cake immediately appeared in Tao Zhi’s mind. When he thought of Tian Tian, his heart ached. Tian Tian was perfect but she already had a boyfriend.

“Are they short of snacks?” Tao Zhi’s attitude was very perfunctory. “1’11 get my assistant to buy some and send them over immediately.”

“Don’t let the assistant send you off.” Tao Zheng dragged Tao Zhi outside. “Come with me to Xiao Rou’s place now. If you have a conflict with Xiao Rou, you can resolve it now. You’re a big man and a big brother. Why are you so bashful?”

“It’s not because of Xiao Rou, it’s my own problem,” Tao Zhi said. He couldn’t tell his younger brother that the person he liked didn’t like him.

“Then come with me to eat.” Tao Zheng had a very straightforward personality and would say whatever he wanted to say. “If you don’t come with me to eat, I’ll knock you out and carry you over.”

Tao Zhi looked at the time. It was almost lunchtime. If they went over now, they would definitely miss lunch.

“Let’s go at night. We’ll have lunch at the company first, then you can go back. 1’11 look for you guys tonight,” Tao Zhi said. He hadn’t been to Tan Rou’s place for a long time. In order not to hurt the relationship between his siblings, he decided to go there tonight.

“I’ll be watching you from here.” Tao Zheng had to bring Tao Zhi over today. He felt that Tao Zhi’s recent behavior was very abnormal, as if he was deliberately arranging a lot of work for him. If this continued, Tao Zhi’s health would definitely have problems.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Tao Zheng finally brought Tao Zhi out of the office. When the brothers went to their sister’s place, Tao Zhi stopped to buy a lot of snacks.

Tao Zheng looked at the pieces of rainbow cake and asked casually, “Sister Tian Tian seems to like cake very much. Did you buy it for her?”

Tao Zhi stopped picking the cake. He tried to cover it up. “Not all of them. These are for Rourou and the others. We’ll share them later.”

“Xiao Rou doesn’t like sweet cakes. That little girl Li Li likes to eat Black Forest cake, but you didn’t buy any.” Tao Zheng said.

Tao Zhi immediately picked up a few pieces of Black Forest cake. “I forgot.”

Tao Zheng stared at his brother. He felt that his brother was very strange. He never ate sweets and often bought small cakes for his sister, but his sister didn’t eat cake either. Besides, Li Li didn’t like the Black Forest cake either. That was just a random lie from Tao Zheng. Tian Tian was the only girl who liked cakes.

Tao Zheng smiled slightly. He seemed to have discovered an incredible secret..

 

Chapter 855: 855 Don’t Understand

....

 

Although Tao Zhi and Tian Tian’s relationship was a little strained, Tao Zhi still bought a lot of Tian Tian’s favorite snacks, as if he wanted to buy Tian Tian’s snacks for the next month.

If it was in the past, Tao Zheng would have stopped Tao Zhi long ago. But today, he wanted to see how much Tao Zhi could buy. In the end, Tao Zheng drove back with his brother and a car full of snacks.

“Brother, you bought so many snacks. Can they finish them all?” Tao Zheng could not help but ask.

“If you can’t finish it, then eat slowly. 1 don’t think I’ll have the chance to buy it for her in the future,” Tao Zhi replied absent-mindedly.

Tao Zheng thought that he was talking about Tan Rou. “Brother, don’t worry. Even if Xiao Rou gets married, she’s still our sister. Zhuang Liu can’t stop us from buying things for her.”

Tao Zhi smiled bitterly. Tao Zheng didn’t understand what he meant, so he didn’t want to explain. If he and Tian Tian were really siblings, he wouldn’t have to worry so much.

Tao Zheng drove the car to the entrance and happened to see Tian Tian trimming the roses on the wall. He shouted, “Little Sister Tian Tian, come and get your snacks.”

When Tian Tian heard Tao Zheng’s voice, she thought that Tao Zheng was alone. She put down the scissors and happily came over to get her snacks. In the end, she saw Tao Zhi getting out of the car.

She stood there, not knowing if she should go forward.

Tao Zhi also stood there in a daze. He wanted to call her ‘Tian Tian’ like before, but she already had a boyfriend. If her boyfriend found out, he would definitely give her trouble.

Tao Zheng’s gaze swept between them. After a few minutes, he interrupted their gazes. “Can you two bring the snacks down?”

Tao Zhi returned to his senses and handed the cake in his hand to Tian Tian.

“There’s cake.” He really didn’t know what to say.

Tian Tian glanced at the cake and walked over slowly. “Thank you, Brother Tao Zhi.”

She walked in front with the cake while Tao Zhi and Tao Zheng walked behind with a few big bags of snacks. They were very quiet the entire and no one spoke.

Tao Zheng blocked Tao Zhi. After Tian Tian walked away, he asked, “Tell me honestly. Did something happen between the two of you?”

Tao Zhi was still playing dumb. “What is it?”

“What happened between you and Sister Tian Tian?”

“There’s nothing. Don’t ask anymore,” Tao Zhi replied with a slight frown.

“Tsk, 1 don’t believe that nothing happened.” Tao Zheng said, “The way you look at her is very strange. It’s as if you’re very sad. Did she do something to disappoint you?”

A sad expression appeared on Tao Zhi’s face. “Second Brother, don’t ask anymore. You don’t understand this kind of thing.”

“What do 1 not understand? Is it because you like her but she doesn’t like you back?” Tao Zheng asked directly.

Tao Zhi lowered his head. After a long time, he finally replied, “Yes, I like her, but she has a boyfriend.”

“Does Sister Tian Tian have a boyfriend?” Tao Zheng tried hard to recall. “Why haven’t I seen her boyfriend send her home?” He often came here and would pick them up at the school gate, but he had never seen Tian Tian’s boyfriend. Moreover, Tian Tian didn’t seem to have a boyfriend.

“Have you seen her boyfriend with your own eyes?” Tao Zheng asked.

“Yes, they went to my company together last time.” Tao Zhi said.

Tao Zheng felt a little sorry for his brother. The person his brother liked not only had a boyfriend but also brought him to Tao Zhi’s company. If he was still Tao Zhi, he would have taken leave to heal his relationship.

“You’re too pitiful.” Tao Zheng couldn’t help but say. If he had known earlier, he would not have forced Tao Zhi to come over.

Tao Zhi smiled. “Forget it. Let’s just let this matter pass.”

Tan Rou came out of the house. When she saw that Tao Zhi had bought so many snacks again, she smiled and deliberately asked, “Did Big brother buy these for Tiantian?”

Tao Zheng was afraid that his brother would be sad, so he rushed to answer. “I bought it for you. Anyone who sees it will have a share.”

“There must be one that’s specially bought for Tiantian, right? The cakes?”

“I’m the one who wanted to buy the cake. It has nothing to do with Big Brother.” Tao Zheng had to protect his big brother’s last bit of dignity.

Tan Rou was speechless. Why was her second brother always causing trouble?

Tian Tian walked out from behind Tan Rou. “Rourou, stop talking. Let’s go eat.”

Tao Zhi looked at Tian Tian but didn’t speak to her in the end..

 

Chapter 856: 856 Unrepentant

....

 

Tan Ron’s original intention was to ask Tao Zhi to come back for a meal so that everyone could have a happy chat. She also hoped that the relationship between her brother and her good sister would improve. However, Tao Zhi’s performance disappointed her. During the meal, he kept his head down and didn’t even put food in Tian Tian’s bowl.

“Big Brother, give Tiantian the sweet and sour fish on your side. She likes to eat that.” Tan Rou created an opportunity for Tao Zhi and Tian Tian.

However, Tao Zhi didn’t have the confidence. He directly handed the plate of sweet and sour fish to Li Li, who was beside him. “You’re closer to her. You should help her with the food.”

Li Li looked at Tao Zhi and then at Tian Tian. She asked in puzzlement, “Did you guys fight? Why do I feel like you haven’t spoken since you entered the door?”

“No, we didn’t,” Tian Tian replied softly. After that, she refused to say anything else.

Tao Zhi quickly finished his meal and picked up his clothes and Tao Zheng’s car keys. “Lend me the car. I’ll return it to you tomorrow.”

“It’s so late, where are you going?” Tao Zheng asked.

“Work.” Tao Zhi replied. Since his love life wasn’t going well, he would just work hard.

Tian Tian looked at Tao Zhi’s back as he left and felt very uncomfortable. Did Tao Zhi hate her to this extent? He didn’t even want to have a good meal with her. She was considering whether she should leave Tan Ron’s house, lest she stay here and ruin the relationship between the siblings.

Tan Rou was really worried for Tao Zhi. Tian Tian was such a good girl. Why didn’t he know how to seize the opportunity? The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Until the next morning, she was still worried about Tian Tian and Tao Zhi.

“Xiao Rou, didn’t you say you want to go run with me?” Zhuang Liu saw that Tan Rou had been absent-minded and finally could not help but ask her, “Why have you been absent-minded? What’s so important that it’s more important than running with me?”

Tan Rou stopped and replied, “I’m thinking about my big brother and Tian Tian. Last night, it wasn’t easy to get my brother over. I wanted to deepen his relationship with Tiantian. In the end, not only did my brother not speak to Tiantian, but he also left very quickly. At that time, Tiantian looked like she was about to cry.”

“Xiao Rou, have you ever thought that your big brother doesn’t actually like Tiantian?”

“He definitely likes Tiantian. Have you forgotten about the banquet last time?” Tan Rou said.

“If my brother really doesn’t like Tiantian, he definitely won’t bring Tiantian to be his female companion.”

“What you said makes sense.” Zhuang Liu still hoped that Tan Rou would pay more attention to him. “But now is not the time to think about this. Didn’t you say that you wanted to run with me? Focus!”

Tan Rou looked at the time and said, “Let’s not run. How about we take a walk to school together?”

Zhuang Liu was naturally willing to do so. He had always wanted to walk into the campus hand in hand with Tan Rou. Today was a good opportunity.

Tan Rou went home to get her bag, while Zhuang Liu instructed Xiao Mo to drive to the entrance of Capital University to wait for him. When Tan Rou went to school, he would go straight to the company.

The two of them talked as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the university. Tan Rou was having lessons in the fifth teaching building today. Zhuang Liu planned to send her to the classroom before going to work.

Yang Ming waited for Tan Rou at the entrance of the fifth teaching building early in the morning. His left arm was bandaged, and his right hand was holding a bouquet of pink roses. When he saw Tan Rou coming over, he immediately smiled and greeted her.

“Tan Rou, good morning!” Yang Ming handed the roses to Tan Rou. “Beautiful flowers should be matched with beautiful people. This is the freshest bouquet of roses in the flower shop. It’s for you.”

Tan Rou saw the bandage on Yang Ming’s left arm. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Senior, you’re already disabled. Since you’re so badly injured, you shouldn’t come here to bother me.”

“Junior Tan Rou, my feelings for you will never change.” Yang Ming said affectionately.

“You really don’t know how to repent. I should have crippled both your arms last time. That way, you wouldn’t be able to take this ugly flower.” Tan Rou said.

Zhuang Liu snatched the pink roses and stuffed them into the trash can. “Rourou, is this better now?”

Tan Rou smiled. “No, it’s not the flowers that are an eyesore. It’s the person holding the flowers that is an eyesore.”

Zhuang Liu was thinking about how to make this annoying man disappear. He looked around and finally found two big pools one meter deep in front of the fifth teaching building..

 

Chapter 857: 857 Into the Pool

....

 

Yang Ming was very angry. “Why did you throw my flowers?”

“Not only did 1 dare to throw your flowers, but I also dare to throw you as a person.”

Yang Ming took the opportunity to say to Tan Rou, “Junior Tan Rou, your boyfriend is so fierce. It’s better not to be with him.”

Zhuang Liu laughed coldly. This guy really didn’t know what was good for him. He actually dared to sow discord between him and Xiao Rou. If he didn’t teach him a lesson today, he, Zhuang Liu, would have no face to live in the Capital.

“You talk too much nonsense and you stink. You should go into the pool and wash yourself!” After that, Zhuang Liu kicked Yang Ming into the pool next to him.

Yang Ming was 1.8 meters tall. The water in the pool only reached his thighs. It couldn’t drown him. However, the pool was very deep, and it would take him a lot of effort to climb up. Moreover, his left arm was injured, making it even more difficult to climb up.

They were surrounded by students who came to the eighth class. Many of them knew Yang Ming and all of them witness what had happened. They all thought that Yang Ming was courting death. Of all people, he liked the beauty of the Physics Department, and she already had a boyfriend.

The department belle’s boyfriend wasn’t an ordinary person. He was a big shot in the Capital. If he really wanted to teach Yang Ming a lesson, Yang Ming would probably have to leave the Capital University tonight.

“What happened?” Li Li squeezed in to take a look. “Eh, that man looks a little familiar.”

Tan Rou, who was next to him, said, “Yang Ming, the person who placed the roses downstairs.”

Li Li remembered him. “Oh, oh, this kid who overestimates himself. Why did he fall into the water?”

“I kicked him,” Zhuang Liu said coldly.

Li Li looked at Zhuang Liu with her eyes wide open. After a minute, she gave Zhuang Liu a thumbs up. “Brother Zhuang Liu, you’re so handsome!”

Li Li felt that Yang Ming was crazy. Tan Rou already had a boyfriend. Why did this person still follow Tan Rou? Haven’t you been taught enough lessons last time?

“Yang Ming is too stupid. Of all the people he could find, he had to find a girl who already has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is right next to her, and he actually dared to send flowers. If I were Junior Tan Ron’s boyfriend, I would definitely kick him a few more times.” a boy said.

“Don’t you think it’s strange?” Another boy said, “Yang Ming has always been a poor student. Last month, I saw him working part-time in a restaurant. How did he become so rich in just a few days? That bouquet of roses would definitely cost more than 200 bucks.”

“Did he win the lottery?” A classmate said.

Another student replied, “Where did he get the money to buy lottery tickets?”

Everyone was talking about it. The last time Yang Ming got so many roses, it had already made them curious. This time, Yang Ming came again. They were more and more curious about Yang Ming’s source of income.

Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu looked at each other and had the same thought.

“Who do you think is behind this?” Tan Rou asked.

“I can only think of two factions.” Zhuang Liu replied, “One is my second uncle’s family, and the other is that lunatic He Xi.” He Xi is already in the mental hospital. It’s very obvious who did this.”

“Han Min illegally collected money for this? It’s pretty boring,” commented Tan Rou.

“You should focus on your lessons. i’ll handle the other things,” Zhuang Liu said.

Tan Rou didn’t want to waste her time dealing with Han Min. “Alright, you should settle the matter with your second uncle and aunt as soon as possible so that they won’t cause trouble every few days.”

“Yes, 1’11 deal with it as soon as possible,” Zhuang Liu promised.

Tan Rou and the others went to class, but Zhuang Liu didn’t leave. He had been waiting for Yang Ming to climb up.

Yang Ming finally moved to the side of the pool. As a result, he saw that Zhuang Liu was still standing there. He was a little afraid. Zhuang Liu wouldn’t kick him down again, right?

Zhuang Liu squatted down and asked him condescendingly, “Who sent you here?”

Yang Ming was stunned and immediately replied, “I came here willingly. 1 like Junior Tan Rou, so I came to pursue her. Although she’s your girlfriend now, I’ll get her sooner or later.”

Zhuang Liu smiled. “You won’t have the chance.” After that, he reached out and put his hand on Yang Ming’s shoulder. “I see that your head is a little hot, so you should go into the water to calm down!”

Yang Ming was then pushed back into the pool..

 

Chapter 858: 858 Accident

....

 

Tian Tian didn’t sleep well last night. She had been feeling sleepy during class this morning. She swayed left and right, like a sleepless cat.

Li Li thought she was cute, so she secretly took out her phone to take a photo of Tian Tian. Suddenly, a loud explosion woke up all the sleepy students, and the teaching building shook a few times.

Another explosion followed, louder than the first.

“What happened?” The students panicked. “Is it an earthquake?”

The old professor on the podium quickly asked the students to squat under the table. If there was really an earthquake, they would not be able to escape.

After a few minutes, the old professor saw that there were no more explosions, so he quickly evacuated the students to the square outside to prevent another accident.

“What’s that? It seems to be smoke over there!” A sharp-eyed student noticed the black smoke from the building in the distance.” Is there a fire in the school’s research building?”

Tan Ron’s heart tightened when she saw the thick smoke. Jiang Min and the others had an experiment this morning. At this time, they must be in the laboratory.

At the thought of this, Tan Ron quickly ran back to the classroom to get her things. She had to see if there was anything she could help with.

“Li Li, Tiantian, 1 need to go to the research building now. Senior and the others have an experiment today. I’m worried that something will happen to them. When the professor asks about me later, just say that 1 went to the toilet,” Tan Rou instructed.

Li Li was very worried about her. “The explosion just now must have come from there. It will be very dangerous for you to go there now.”

“It’s precisely because it’s dangerous that I want to go over. If senior sister and the others are fine, I’ll be back immediately.”

“Let’s go together. If there’s anything you need help with, we can help too,” said Xu Yan.

Tan Rou thought for a moment and then said, “Okay, you guys have to be careful.”

They arrived at the research building. There were many students and teachers gathered downstairs. Some ran down from upstairs, and some rushed over to help after hearing the explosion.

The originally snow-white wall was now blackened by smoke. Moreover, it could be clearly seen that the source of the explosion was on the fifth floor.

Based on the location of the black smoke, Tan Rou determined that it was Hu Cheng’s laboratory. They were some distance away from the laboratory and Jiang Min’s group. However, such a large-scale explosion would definitely affect Jiang Min’s group.

“I have to go up and take a look.” Tan Rou said.

“We don’t know if it will explode again,” Li Li said. “We can’t go up.”

Tan Rou clenched her fists. “I’ll be careful.”

Xu Yan was calmer. He said, “Even if there won’t be an explosion up there, there will be thick smoke. You can’t just go up like this.”

Tan Rou raised her head. Jiang Min and the others didn’t come down, which meant that they were injured. If they waited for the firefighters and doctors to arrive, Jiang Min and the others might miss the best time to rescue them.

“Help…” A weak cry for help came from the fifth floor. The long-haired girl struggled to look down the wall. “Help…”

Tan Rou recognized that it was Jiang Min. “Senior Sister Jiang!” She ignored the objections of the others and rushed up the stairs.

Seeing this, Xu Yan immediately dragged Lu Qing along. “Let’s go up and take a look too!” He instructed Li Li and the others, “You guys stay down there and observe the situation. Don’t go up easily!”

Li Li’s eyes reddened. “You have to come back safely!”

Jiang Min’s laboratory was at the very edge, so the impact was smaller than the other laboratories, but they were also injured, especially Shang Jin. She had just come back from the toilet when she encountered an explosion. Without any doors or windows to cover her, she was immediately sent flying by the shock wave of the explosion.

Jiang Min wasn’t seriously injured. She just breathed in too much smoke and didn’t have much strength.

Lang Yue was in a worse state. When the explosion happened, he and Xiao Chen were standing on the side near the source of the explosion. The falling wall hit them. Lang Yue pushed Xiao Chen out without thinking, and he was trapped by the deformed wall.

Xiao Chen only had a little scratch. He held the wall with all his might, hoping that it would not collapse anymore.

Tan Rou and the others did not take the elevator. During the explosion, it was safest to take the stairs.

As soon as she stepped out of the stairs, Tan Rou saw Shang Jin lying there. He had fainted with her eyes closed and his face was covered in blood.

“I’ll carry him downstairs.” Xu Yan took the initiative to carry Shang Jin, “Go find the others..”

 

Chapter 859: 859 Escaping Death

....

 

Tan Ron helped Shang Jin onto Xu Yan’s back. “Her bones should be dislocated,” she said. “When you carry her, be as gentle as possible. Don’t cause secondary injuries.”

“I understand.” Xu Yan nodded. With that, he carried Shang Jin downstairs. Although this senior often bothered him, he couldn’t care less when it was a matter of life and death.

Tan Rou and Lu Qing continued to walk in. The explosion this time was quite serious. The walls were black and the glass in the laboratory was shattered.

After Jiang Min called for help, she returned to the laboratory. Her team members were still inside. As the team leader, she couldn’t abandon her team members and escape.

“Lang Yue, hang in there. Someone will come and save us soon. Don’t sleep!” Jiang Min encouraged. At most, I’ll give you more dividends next time.”

Lang Yue smiled. “Senior, you said it yourself. I’ll remember it.”

Xiao Chen was very scared.” Senior, please don’t die. If you die, I will blame myself.”

Lang Yue said, “Don’t think too much. Take good care of your mother. 1 won’t die.” He glanced at the door and smiled. “Don’t cry. Someone is here to save us.” Tan Ron’s heart sank when she saw Lang Yue being crushed by the falling wall. She urged Lu Qing, “Move the broken stones away. We can’t cause a second collapse.”

Lu Qing took off his heavy coat and began to move the stones.

Tan Rou, on the other hand, was helping Lang Yue. She first kept him awake, then slowly moved him outside.

Under Tan Rou and Lu Qing’s joint efforts, Lang Yue was finally moved out from underneath.

“Cough, cough, cough!” Tan Rou coughed a few times. “The black smoke is poisonous. Let’s leave quickly!”

Lu Qing carried Lang Yue, Tan Rou carried Jiang Min, and Xiao Chen followed behind. They quickly went downstairs.

Downstairs, the fire trucks and firefighters were already in place. When they saw a few students coming out of the forest, they immediately started to rescue them.

Principal Zhang, who heard the commotion, rushed over and grabbed the hands of the rescuers. He said excitedly, “There are still students up there who haven’t come down. Hurry up and save them!”

The rescue team leader ordered, “Bring all the oxygen tanks and rescue them immediately!”

Lang Yue and Shang Jin were lying on the ground. They were both injured, but Lang Yue was still awake, while Shang Jin had fainted.

“Is the doctor not here yet?” Jiang Min grabbed Shang Jin’s hand. “Ah Jin, you have to hold on. Otherwise, how am 1 going to answer to your parents?”

Shang Jin was the only daughter and the darling of her parents. When she joined Jiang Min’s research team, her parents even treated Jiang Min and the others to a meal, saying that they hoped that Jiang Min would take more care of their daughter.

Jiang Min had promised Shang Jin’s parents that she would bring Shang Jin to great achievements. Now that her career had just started, Shang Jin must not be in trouble.

“I’ll do it!” Tan Rou squatted down and used the silver needles in her backpack to treat Shang Jin.

When the school leaders saw her taking out the needles, they ran over to stop her. “What are you doing? Put the needle down!”

“Xiao Rou is treating Senior Shang.” Li Li stood beside Tan Rou. “If you don’t want anything to happen to Senior Shang, don’t disturb Rourou!”

Acupuncture required a quiet and clean environment, but the situation was urgent, and Tan Rou couldn’t care less.

“Li Li, come and help me. I need to wipe my sweat.”

Li Li immediately took out a tissue to wipe Tan Ron’s sweat.

Tan Rou continued, “Senior Shang’s arm is broken. Go and find a sturdy wooden plank. I need to fix her arm.”

Xu Yan and Lu Qing were left to handle this matter. It was not their first time looking for wooden planks anyway.

Lang Yue’s wound was also very painful, but his injury was not as serious as Shang Jin’s, so he endured the pain and tried not to disturb Tan Ron’s treatment of Shang Jin.

“I didn’t expect Xiao Rou to know medicine.” Jiang Min heaved a sigh of relief. “If she wasn’t here, I really don’t know what to do.”

“Actually, Xiaorou also treated my mom when she visited her last time. She also gave me two bottles of medicine and asked me to give them to my mother. After my mother took the medicine she gave her, she felt much better. She was fit enough to undergo surgery a few days later.”

Jiang Min was very surprised. She sighed and said, “We really found a piece of treasure.”

Tan Rou focused on rescuing Shang Jin and finally snatched Shang Jin’s life back from the Grim Reaper before the doctor arrived..

 

Chapter 860: 860 Tragic Results

....

 

The first thing Shang Jin said when she woke up was that she was concerned about her face. Her face hurt so much. At that time, she passed by Hu Cheng’s classroom and heard a slight explosion. She wanted to see what Hu Cheng and the others were up to, but when she turned around, the door was blown away.

Shang Jin watched as the flames flew past her. Her face was burned, and then she fainted.

“My face… What’s wrong?” Shang Jin narrowed his eyes and asked.

“Your face is fine. Don’t worry,” Jiang Min comforted him.

Shang Jin smiled bitterly. “My face hurts. I’m sure it won’t be fine.”

Tan Rou didn’t want to see her like this. In Tan Ron’s impression, Shang Jin was like a small firecracker that would explode at the slightest touch. Moreover, she was very energetic. Now, Shang Jin seemed very listless.

“Senior Shang, don’t talk anymore. You’re seriously injured. Lie down and rest.” Tan Rou said.

Shang Jin closed her eyes. “Okay.”

After dealing with Shang Jin, Tan Rou hurriedly treated Lang Yue’s wound. He had injured his leg. Fortunately, he wore thicker clothes in late autumn. Otherwise, Lang Yue’s leg injury would have been more serious.

“How is Shang Jin?” Lang Yue asked with concern.

Tan Rou replied in a low voice, “Her life is saved. It’ll probably be hard for the scars on her face to recover completely.”

Lang Yue sighed. “Shang Jin loves to be pretty. If her face is ruined, she will probably never go out again.”

“Technology is very advanced now. Her face will be cured,” Tan Rou said.

“I hope so,” Lang Yue replied.

While Tan Rou was treating them, the firefighters brought down a burnt man from upstairs. Although they couldn’t tell who it was, they could tell from his figure that it was a man.

Later, they found out that the person who was burned black was Hu Cheng. He was next to the source of the explosion and died on the spot. The other team members also had different degrees of burns, especially Xue Lin, who had 68% of her body burned.

The injured students were sent to the hospital. Jiang Min and Xiao Chen also had to be examined. They had inhaled a lot of black smoke and needed to be hospitalized for observation for a few days.

Tan Rou and the others were fine. They did not inhale much black smoke to begin with. Moreover, Tan Rou had arranged for someone to prepare tea to clear their lungs before they went up. After they came down from upstairs, they immediately drank the tea that was sent over and coughed up a lot of things.

“Are you saying that after you came down, you drank a bowl of brown tea and then started coughing black phlegm?” The doctor asked Jiang Min, “This is amazing!”

“Doctor, we should be fine, right?” Jiang Min asked.

The doctor said, “Stay in the hospital for a few days. After all, your lungs are injured. You need to pay more attention. Can 1 take a look at the miraculous medicine soup you were talking about?” he asked.

“I want to see how magical it is.”

Jiang Min politely refused. “Doctor, I’m sorry. That medicinal soup isn’t ours. We can’t tell you how it came about, but we did drink that soup before we started coughing.”

The doctor was a little regretful. “Sigh, if this medicine is used in medical treatment, it will save many people.”

Jiang Min thought for a moment. She decided to talk to Tan Rou about this matter later. Perhaps it could even increase Tan Ron’s income.

Tan Rou and the others stood guard outside the operating theaters. All the operating theaters had green lights on. The patients inside were all seriously injured patients. For a patient like Lang Yue who had only injured his leg, he had no chance of being rescued at all.

Two hours later, the lights in the operating room finally went out. The doctor told Tan Rou and the others that the patient was out of danger, but the burns on his face were serious and needed skin transplantation.

“Are any of you doctors?” The doctor who operated on Shang Jin asked, “Under normal circumstances, she should be dead for being so severely injured, but not only did she survive, but she also saved her arm. This is a miracle!”

Tan Rou did not answer the doctor directly. “Is the patient awake?” she asked.

The doctor looked into the operating theater. “We just gave the patient anesthesia. He’s still unconscious, but you have to inform the patient’s family to be mentally prepared. The subsequent facial treatment will cost a lot of money.”

“As long as it can be cured, I’m willing to spend any amount of money. I’ll find the best plastic surgeon to treat her,” Xu Yan suddenly said.

This senior was very annoying, but Xu Yan did not want this lively girl to stop smiling. He felt that Shang Jin looked better when she smiled..
