268 268 Eating Grapes
There was still half a day left at the villa, and Tan Rou wanted to enjoy the time with her family. However, there were still two other people there.
Xiao Mo brought breakfast to Tan Rou and the others early in the morning. She didn’t know when the chef woke up to cook, but there were so many dishes in the morning. All of them looked exquisite.
Mother Tao liked Zhuang Liu very much. When she found out that Zhuang Liu was bringing them breakfast and that only the two were there, she warmly invited them over for breakfast.
Xiao Mo, who had already received Zhuang Liu’s instructions, pushed Zhuang Liu over without saying anything. Zhuang Liu was very considerate. He especially brought two small sunflowers with dew from the villa’s garden for Tan Rou and Mrs. Tao.
Mrs. Tao happily accepted his gift and immediately found a vase to put in. She even said that she would take it back when she left.
Tao Zheng glared at Zhuang Liu while he was eating. The words ‘up to no good’ were written all over this kid’s face. Why didn’t anyone notice? However, this kid’s status was really high. Not only did he win over his sister’s heart, but he also won his mother’s favour. They had not known each other for long, but in the end, the two most important people in the family had already been seduced by him.
After breakfast, they went to pick grapes together. They were allowed to bring back these grapes, just like the fish. They had to be weighed before they could be brought back.
The three siblings walked together. The Tao family’s parents carried baskets as they reminisced about their younger days. Zhuang Liu and Xiao Mo were in a team. As they walked, the team got separated.
“Why is the Third Young Master alone again?” Tan Rou came over with a basket. In her basket were two bunches of dark purple gemstone grapes, a bunch of rose grapes, and a bunch of green grapes.
Zhuang Liu didn’t have a basket so that he couldn’t pick the grapes on the shelf. He let Xiao Mo pick them while he found time to meet Tan Rou privately.
“It’s not convenient to use a wheelchair. I should stay here.” Zhuang Liu pretended to be pitiful.
“I managed to pick a huge amount of them.” Tan Rou walked over. “Do you want some? The outside sign says you can eat as much as you want.”
Zhuang Liu was empty-handed. “I don’t have any grapes with me.”
“Here you go.” Tan Rou pulled down the biggest one on top. “I heard that this is the sweetest. Try it.”
Zhuang Liu took the grapes, peeled them, and handed them to her. “You picked them. You should be the first one to eat.”
Tan Rou smiled and ate it with her hand. As expected, it was sweet and juicy.
“I’ll peel one for you!” Tan Rou couldn’t just enjoy it on her own.
Why didn’t Zhuang Liu think grapes were so delicious before? Maybe the person who fed the grapes was wrong.
Xiao Mo hid behind the grape rack. He didn’t want to ruin this beautiful scene. Third, Young Master said he didn’t have good eyesight, but he finally had some eyesight today, right?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the voices of Tan Rou’s brothers. They seemed to be coming over, so Xiao Mo distracted them.
“Brothers, I saw a bunch of very big grapes there just now. They are a little too high for me. Let’s go and cut them together.” He could only help Third Young Master up to this point.
“Xiao Rou, do you want to go back together in the afternoon?” Zhuang Liu ate the grapes and invited them to go back together.
“My dad drove here. I’ll go back with them.” Tan Rou couldn’t possibly leave them behind to ride with Zhuang Liu.
“Alright then.” Zhuang Liu was a little disappointed.
When they left, they met Tan Song and his daughter again. They were just about to return.
Tan Jing saw Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou together and saw that he was still sitting in a wheelchair. She could not help but feel glad. Fortunately, she had broken off the engagement early. Otherwise, she would have had to marry a disabled person.
Now that she would marry the Tao family from the capital, the Tao family was as famous as the Zhuang family. With a healthy husband, who would care about a disabled person?
She looked at Tan Rou with disdain. Only a person like Tan Rou was suitable for a good-for-nothing. However, even if that man was trash, he was still a member of the Zhuang family. Tan Rou, a girl from the slums, could forget about being Cinderella.
Tan Rou ignored her. There was no need to be angry at herself.
They didn’t say anything and got into their respective cars. One went out from the south gate of the parking lot, and the other went out from the north gate. As the saying goes, different paths don’t work together.
When school started on Monday, Tan Jing felt that the cement road in the school was no longer worthy of her. Once she got married into the Tao family in the capital, she would order people to repair the entire school. At that time, she would say it was the new equipment donated by Tan Jing, an outstanding alumni. It would definitely be very prestigious.
