What was she going to do this time? To join forces with other people to ostracise him? Or perhaps school violence?
If it was going to happen, it was not certain yet who may be the violent one.
Tan Rou didn’t want to listen to them anymore. Instead, she walked into the classroom and sat down in her seat.
As soon as Tan Rou had entered the classroom, the small group of people seemed to have pressed the pause button. All of them stared at Tan Rou movements and stopped talking.
Most of these people used to follow Tan Rou around. When Tan Rou lost her identity as the young lady of the tan family, they all turned to Tan Jing’s side.
Compared to the so-called friendship, they valued the Tan family more. It was better to lean against a big tree for shade. It made no difference to them who the daughter of this tree was.
Therefore, they agreed to be fence-sitters. After all, there was no sincerity in the first place. So, why should they feel guilty?
They felt that they had a clear conscience. Each of them looked at Tan Rou as if they wanted to eat her up. However, there was one special person in this group. This person was none other than Wei Ling, who had fawned over Tan Jing at the ball and took the initiative to cause trouble for Tan Rou!
She had a good relationship with Li Jia. So, when Tan Jing had Li Jia guard the door of the tao family to keep an eye on Tan Rou, Wei Ling had heard Li Jia mention Tan Rou.
However, at that time, Li Jia had been caught by Tan Rou. Then, Li Jia had made complaints about it to Wei Ling, “Tan Jing would send us to do this kind of thing. Tan Rou is too scary now and I don’t dare to provoke her anymore. You should understand it sooner. Tan Jing is not Tan Rou. She is not a good person.
At that time, she didn’t think much of it. Tan Jing wasn’t a good person but did that mean they were? They were just using each other, so why would it matter?
However, she heard that Tan Rou had beaten up Zhou Wu so badly that he was admitted into the hospital and she managed to escape unscathed. Tan Rou was able to see through Tan Jing’s various schemes and had recently gotten involved with the Zhuang family, she understood that Tan Rou was no longer the good-for-nothing she used to be. Tan Rou was not someone that could be bullied by anyone.
Wei Ling’s mind was clear now. She only dared to gossip behind others’ backs and make his presence known to Tan Jing but she would never have the guts to provoke Tan Rou.
Since Wei Ling didn’t want to stand out from the crowd, someone else would.
One of the girls couldn’t wait to attack Tan Rou. “Tan Rou, how dare you appear in school after bullying Jingjing?!”
Tan Rou looked at the person who spoke and stared at her with a sharp gaze. “Why wouldn’t I come to school? Did I delay the show for Miss Tan?”
When Tan Jing heard this, it was as if she couldn’t stand the words coming out of Tan Rou’s mouth. She put her arms on the table, buried her head in it, and whimpered in a low voice.
Tan Rou sneered. “What else can you do besides crying? It’s only the first day of school. What bad luck.”
The girl who had just spoken stomped her feet anxiously. “Tan Rou, this is too much. Jingjing already told us just now that you humiliated her and her mother at the restaurant yesterday! Their faces are still swollen now!”
Hearing this, the others around her also began to criticise Tan Rou. “That’s right! Not only did you bully Jingjing, you even disrespected Mrs. Tan. She has raised you for more than ten years and you actually did such a thing. You’re really cruel and unscrupulous! How can a person like you be in school?! Everything that you’ve learned here must have been fed to the dogs!”
“We don’t want to be in the same class as you. I’ll go to the teacher and tell him that someone like you doesn’t deserve to sit in the same classroom as us!”
Tan Jing sobbed as she looked up from her desk. “Don’t! Rou ‘er should still be allowed to stay in such a good school. It must be the Tao family’s parents who put in so much effort to help her. We can’t hurt their feelings! Don’t do this! Xiao Rou … should understand.”
Tan Jing’s words attracted the praises of the people around her. “Jingjing, you’re so filial. Even after returning to the Tan family, you’re still concerned about the Tao family’s parents, unlike some people who have their conscience fed into the dogs ‘stomachs. Indeed, you shouldn’t compare yourself to people like her!”
Tan Rou looked at Tan Jing. Tan Rou did not say a word. She just stared at Tan Jing quietly without any expressions on her face.
Tan Jing suddenly felt guilty after being stared at by Tan Rou like that. She even forgot to fake her tears and stood there awkwardly. Why did Tan Rou’s eyes look so scary? Tan Jing’s heart was in a mess and she didn’t know what Tan Rou would do.
