57 057 Tan Song
Zhuang Liu kept his eyes on Tan Rou. She was like a cat who finally got to eat its fish. Both her eyes were shining brightly with joy.
Zhuang Liu couldn’t hide the love in his eyes as he said, “All of these are their signature dishes. The boss loved eating, which is why he designed all these.”
Tan Rou turned shy when she saw the look in Zhuang Liu’s eyes. She turned around to avoid his gaze and buried her head in the delicacy before her.
Tan Rou noticed that Zhuang Liu was more daring than before. Then, she spoke difficulty, “You should eat as well. Did you say that you were hungry as well? Would you be filled by just looking at me?”
Zhuang Liu smiled and said, “I’m filled with such beauty before me.”
Tan Rou glared at Zhuang Liu.
Zhuang Liu immediately admitted defeat as he said, “Alright, alright. I’ll stop talking and start eating right away.”
Tan Rou rolled her eyes, but she felt a warmth inside her chest, “You should eat more! It must have been tiring for you today.”
Zhung Liu was enjoying the porridge when he shook his head, “You were the one who must be exhausted. Not only did you help me with my treatment, but there were also lots of events that followed after that.”
Tan Rou mischievously winked. “That’s nothing. After enjoying such delicious food, I don’t remember anything now! I’m feeling much better now!”
Both of them were happily eating and chatting. Their relationship seemed to be progressing, and they were getting closer to each other.
Inside the restaurant, it was a pleasing atmosphere, while the Tan family was the complete opposite.
Tan Jing’s cheeks were covered with a large bandage as she returned home with Chen Yi.
She was still sobbing. Her eyes were red. She lay on the sofa, looking incredibly pitiful.
Chen Yi frowned. She sat on the other side of the sofa, looking annoyed as she sighed, “Stop crying already. The doctor already said that you’re fine.”
Tan Jing sobbed as she said, “But it still hurts! The doctor said that my eardrums would have exploded with a little more force!”
Chen Yi was also frustrated: “I was trying to hit that b*tch, Tan Rou! How would I know that you were standing right in front of her? Why can’t you be smarter and move aside?”
Tan Rou felt wrong, but she knew this was not the time to argue with Chen Yi. “It’s all Tan Rou’s fault! What a cunny sl*t! She purposely stood behind me, and I didn’t even have the time to react!”
Chen Yi continued cursing under her breath, and the entire house was surrounded by an eerie atmosphere.
Tan Song finally returned home, and he immediately felt that something felt different. He frowned as he asked them, “What’s wrong? Why are both of you looking so sad?”
Tan Jing finally found the person who could stand up for her, and she quickly got up, “Daddy! You’re finally home! That b*tch, Tan Rou, bullied Mummy and me!”
Tan Song was confused. “Tan Rou? Didn’t she return to the Tao family? Why are you two still getting bullied by her?”
Tan Song was the head of the Tan family now. Even when he wasn’t excellent at running a business, with the inheritance from his father, the business was still up and running.
Tan Song hated it when the others compared him with his father. It always felt as if he would ruin the family. This was why he was completely focused on his career, with no regard for what he had to sacrifice.
He never asked about what happened at home and never cared for Tan Rou. When Tan Jing returned home, he had gotten closer to her since they were blood-related, but that was all.
Chen Yi also stood up, looking mad as she complained, “That daughter that we raised for the past decade has the audacity to talk back against me now! That b*tch was so good at pretending to be pitiful. She’s a traitor. She’s saying that I have never cared for her and was so cunning that I hit Jingjing instead. Look at how swollen her face is!”
Tan Son frowned. He didn’t want to be bothered by the scandals between these women. He looked at Tan Jing’s face and simply said, “Just listen to the doctor’s advice and take your medicine. Stop mingling with these irrelevant people. You’re just embarrassing yourself.”
Tan Jing’s heart turned cold. She has noticed this since the beginning. Her father was a cold and distant man. Tan Rou was a stranger to him, and even for her and Chen Yi, they didn’t hold much importance to him. The only thing that mattered to him was his career and status.
Therefore, Tan Jing quickly added, “Daddy! Not only was I slapped in the face, but so many people there also witnessed it. That stupid restaurant did not allow us to go in! When Tan Rou rebutted mummy, all of them saw it as well! It was embarrassing!”
As expected, there was finally a change in Tan Song’s expression.
Tan Jing continued, “Plus, Zhuang Liu was there as well. He was protecting Tan Rou the entire time and said that he looked down on the Tan family. He wouldn’t want a marriage with the Tan family without Tan Rou! He was degrading the Tan family intentionally in front of all those people!”
Tan Song’s face immediately turned cold as he asked, “Is that true? Why didn’t you say so earlier? Zhuang Liu is involved in this as well! This is ridiculous!”
