Chapter 295 Let’s Eat Together
“I’ll go back first.” Tan Rou pushed open the car door and instructed Xiao Mo. “Assistant Xiao Te, don’t drive too fast. It’s not safe to drive at night.”
Xiao Mo couldn’t say anything. It wasn’t that he was driving too fast, but it was just that his boss’s orders were hard to disobey!
“I’ll walk you to the door.” Zhuang Liu insisted on sending Tan Rou to her door.
Xiao Mo had no choice but to get out of the car to get a wheelchair for him. The SUV was actually quite good. The trunk was big, and they could even fit a wheelchair inside.
Tan Rou couldn’t persuade him, so she could only take a walk with him in the night wind.
“Big sister! Hey, the big brother we met last time!” Tao Qi came down to buy soy sauce. When he returned, he happened to meet Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu, who were taking a walk.
Zhuang Liu remembered that he was Tan Rou’s underling, so he greeted him.
“Big brother, have you eaten dinner? Do you want to come by my house for dinner? We haven’t eaten yet.” Tao Qi invited Zhuang Liu.
“Is this alright?” Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Rou, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Before Tan Rou could say anything, Tao Qi pushed him away. “Yay! This is great. My mother will definitely be happy to see you.”
“Mom, the big brother in the wheelchair is here!” He shouted.
When Mrs. Tao heard this, she immediately opened the door and came out to take a look. Then, she greeted Zhuang Liu very warmly. “Xiao Zhuang, you’re here. Come in and have a seat!” She liked Zhuang Liu very much. Firstly, Zhuang Liu was smart and capable. Secondly, Zhuang Liu was indeed good-looking.
“See, I told you Mom would be happy.” Tao Qi stuffed the soy sauce into Zhuang Liu’s hands. “Big Brother, let me push you into the house.”
Zhuang Liu was at a loss by this enthusiastic child. He was not good at dealing with children, and there were no such children around him. He suddenly met a child as passionate as the sun, and he felt that he could not handle it.
Tan Rou helped him out. She took the soy sauce, gave it back to Tao Qii and pushed Tao Qi to the side while she pushed the wheelchair herself. “Little brother, you’re about to push Zhuang Liu into the flower bed. Stop it.”
Even if Tao Qi didn’t push the wheelchair, it still couldn’t erase his hospitality. He ran to the front to clear the obstacles and even took away the stones that fell in the corridor.
Zhuang Liu asked softly, “Why is your brother so…”
He couldn’t describe Tao Qi’s performance.
“He’s idolizing you. When he heard that you’re a top student, he used you as a role model. Now that you’re a role model, how could he not be excited? Kids like him like smart people.” Tan Rou explained.
Zhuang Liu felt that Tan Rou’s family was amazing. They were all people who loved to study. This child knew how to focus on learning at such a young age. He would probably be the top student in the school in the future.
Mrs. Tao welcomed him at the door. “We’re just about to eat. Zhuang Liu, would you like to join us for dinner?”
“Thank you, Auntie,” Zhuang Liu replied politely.
Mrs. Tao was grinning from ear to ear. “Come on in.”
Tan Rou saw the dishes on the table when she entered. She remembered what she had promised Zhuang Liu before, so she asked, “Mom, are there any dishes that haven’t been cooked?”
“There’s braised eggplant, but we ran out of soy sauce. I told Xiao Qi to buy soy sauce. Xiao Qi, did you get the soy sauce?”
Tao Qi brought the soy sauce over. “It’s here.”
Tan Rou put down her school bag and rolled up her sleeves. “Mom, you should go and rest. I’ll cook the remaining ones.”
Tao Qi requested, “I want green vegetables!”
Tan Rou pinched his face lightly. “There are no vegetables today. We only have eggplants.”
Tao Qi pouted. “So be it. I like eggplants too.” In the past, he did not like to eat vegetables, but the vegetables his sister made were too delicious, and he could not help but want to eat them.
Zhuang Liu didn’t expect there to be an unexpected surprise. It was really great to be able to eat the food cooked by Rourou.
Of course, he hadn’t forgotten about Xiao Mo. He had wanted to spend more time alone with Tan Rou, so he had asked Xiao Mo to wait in the car.
Now that he was eating here, he couldn’t possibly let Xiao Mo sit there and wait on an empty stomach, could he? So, he transferred a few hundred to Xiao Mo and told him to find a place to eat. Xiao Mo would pick him up after the meal, and it would be best if he ate a little longer.
After receiving the news, Xiao Mo quietly accepted the money from the boss and drove off to find a restaurant.
“Oh right, Rourou.” Mrs. Tao walked into the kitchen and said, “You have a package at the delivery station for a few days. When I was picking it up today, someone told me to bring it back for you. It’s on the desk in your room.”
The package had indeed arrived a few days ago, but Tan Rou had not gone to pick it up. She knew who had sent it, but she did not want to take it. However, her mother was not aware of the situation and so she brought it back.
“Got it, Mom.” Tan Rou cut the eggplant and thought about how to deal with Tan Jing.
