Pay Back the Money
“I’m not your brother. We have had nothing to do with you since a long time ago!” Tao Qi said angrily.
Tan Jing seized the opportunity. “Rourou, quickly tell Xiao Qi that I sincerely treat him as my younger brother. Although you two are blood-related siblings, I also sincerely love him.”
Tan Rou protected Tao Qi behind her. She couldn’t help but sigh at how Tan Jing was really good at talking. With just a few words, she had messed up the relationship between the two families. Everyone present probably felt that she had slandered Tan Jing in front of Tao Qi.
“You’re lying!” Tao Qi walked in front of Tan Rou. “You were the one who said you didn’t see me as a brother, yet I still annoyed you to death. You only like your rich family and don’t like our family at all.”
“How could that be?” Tan Jing was heartbroken. “Haven’t I bought you a lot of things too? Although I’ve returned to the Tan family now, I haven’t forgotten about you!”
“Aren’t you afraid that your biological parents will see you acting here?” Tan Rou asked.
Tan Jing was stunned. She had not thought of this. Tan Song had just asked her to cut ties with these poor people. It would not be good if he found out.
“Rourou, I know that you’re not used to the situation at home. The Tao family and the Tan family are very different. It’s normal that you’re not used to it. If you need anything, just let me know. I’ll help you. Weren’t you going to participate in the physics competition soon? Do you want me to help you get some practice questions?”
Tan Rou rejected him immediately. “There’s no need for that. I have nothing to do with the Tan family anymore. From now on, your family is yours, and mine is mine. My brother doesn’t like you, so stop pestering us.”
“You’ve already cut ties so quickly?” Tan Jing crossed her arms.
“You’ve lived in the Tan family for 17 years. What kind of life have you been living? Who gave you the money you used to spend once you messed up? Spending hundreds of thousands in a casino overnight, do you think the Tao family can give it to you?”
Tan Rou’s heart turned cold. In the past, she had indeed been tricked by Zhou Wu and the others into sending money to the casino. Now that she had returned to her home, that sum of money had been left unsettled. Now that Tan Jing was digging up old scores, it was obvious that the Tan family wanted it back.
“You can’t be an ingrate, can you, Tan Rou?” Tan Jing laughed sinisterly.
“Daddy and Mommy also gave you a lot of pocket money…” Tao Qi shouted.
“Don’t say anymore, Little Qi.” Tan Rou stopped him. “Let’s head home.”
“Are you leaving already?” Tan Jing asked.
“What am I supposed to do then? Stay here and listen to Miss Tan belittle us poor people?”
There were more and more people around them. Tan Jing did not want to be surrounded, so she found the driver and left first.
Tan Rou left with Tao Qi. Tao Qi felt that he had said something wrong and apologized to her. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have bothered with her.”
“No, you did very well because you’re no longer bewitched by her.” Tan Rou smiled.
“Moreover …”
“What?” Tao Qi asked.
“Well, today’s incident also reminded me that I did spend the Tan family’s money in the past. Although there’s no record of it, I can roughly calculate how much it was. Since Tan Jing feels that I owe the Tan family, I’ll return it first.” Tan Rou said. She didn’t want to bring this matter up again when she settled the accounts in the future.
However, she did not intend to transfer this sum of money to Tan Song’s account. Wouldn’t that be letting him off easy? Even if she had to ‘pay back the money’, he did not want a single cent to fall into the hands of the Tan family.
Tan Rou found five good charity organizations and donated all the money she had earned over the past few days along with the compensation she received. After deducting the small change, she still had five million yuan left. She had left behind Tan Song’s identity information. After being in the Tan family for so many years, she knew Tan Song’s information like the back of her hand. Now, it seemed that it would be useful.
After the donation, Tan Rou specially requested a few charity organizations to publicly publish thank-you letters and send the banner to Tan Song’s company.
After doing all this, Tan Rou kept the bank transfer records so that she could have an account book to rely on in the future.
Five million was not a small amount, so the charity would naturally be happy to write a thank-you letter. Moreover, the thank-you letter written by the charity was so sincere and touching that it made the readers tear.
“I shall show you how powerful the internet is.” Tan Rou smiled coldly.
