68 068 Missing Love
Wei Ling was not in a hurry to make a choice. This was because her relationship with Tan Rou had already broken after how she spoke up for Tan Jing at the tan family’s dance party. Moreover, Tan Rou was very eloquent now. If there was no good opportunity, even if she wanted to express her goodwill to Tan Rou now, Tan Rou would not easily accept her fickle-minded behaviour.
So Wei Ling still felt that she had to think carefully about what to do.
However, Wei Ling still had to be cautious. No one would be allowed to go to Tan Rou and claim credits before she did.
Therefore, she wrote on the note, Sister Jing is the young lady of the Tan family no matter what. What are you afraid of? I don’t know anything else. I just felt uncomfortable just now.”
After writing those, Wei Ling threw the note back on the girl’s table and lowered her head, pretending to be studying.
The girl was left looking at the note thoughtfully, frowning in distress. She looked at Tan Jing and Tan Rou from time to time.
Everything was changing quietly. Some people who were sensitive enough noticed Tan Jing’s true appearance and felt the true difference between Tan Jing and Tan Rou.
Moreover, Tan Rou had just said that she had a very good relationship with the Zhuang family’s third young master. The Zhuang family! An aristocratic family that people like them had no chance of getting close with. Compared to the Zhuang family, the title of the Tan family’s eldest daughter was nothing.
Tan Jing had always put on a weak White Lotus look and had deceived many people. However, when her lie was exposed just now, the others could not help but doubt her true character and whether she was as pitiful as she appeared.
In the eyes of others, Tan Jing was innocent and kind. Her real identity had been stolen by Tan Rou for more than ten years but she often spoke well of Tan Rou in front of them and was considerate in every way.
Even though many people had initially approached her because of her identity as the Tan family’s eldest daughter, Tan Jing’s weak image still caused everyone to pity her. They were particularly willing to stand up for her.
However, Tan Jing’s behaviour just now was strange. Not only did he lie and slander Tan Rou, she also seemed to be irritable and angry. Her face was full of hatred.
As the rest of them thought about it, they couldn’t help but look at Tan Jing.
Tan Jing felt the suspicious looks from her classmates and broke down. It was all Tan Rou’s fault! It forced her to lose control of her emotions and humiliated herself in front of her classmates. In the future, it wouldn’t be so easy to deceive those idiots and make them work for her!
No matter how Tan Jing thought about it, she was unwilling to accept defeat! First, she suffered a setback at the Tao family and then she failed to make Tan Rou suffer these few times. Even Chen Yi and Tan Song couldn’t torture Tan Rou. It was really hateful!
If it was just this, it would be fine. What made Tan Jing most uneasy was that she also felt that no matter how she wanted to destroy Tan Rou, Tan Rou had a way to escape. On the other hand, Tan Rou had been holding onto her weakness all the time, Tan Jing’s reputation was getting worse and worse; even her classmates had begun to doubt her.
Tan Jing thought in a panic that this could not go on. Things should not be like this! What right did Tan Rou have to be so calm?! What right did she have to have everything go her way?! What right did she have to gain everyone’s support?!
For Tan Jing, Tan Rou should be suffering in her palm. Tan Rou should accept the reality and she should be isolated and helpless. Then, Ta Rou would have to flatter her like a dog, relying on her mercy to survive.
But….what went wrong here?
Why is Tan Rou’s life getting better after returning to the Tao family? Tan Rou even got the chance to refute Tan Jing! The more Tan Jing thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned her head and stared fiercely at Tan Rou. She kept thinking in her mind that there must be something wrong. She must find Tan Rou’s weakness and stab it hard to make up for all the grievances she had suffered during this period of time!
However,Tan Rou was happily putting away her laptop and taking out a notebook
Tan Rou smiled shyly when she saw the cover of the book that Mrs. Tao had carefully wrapped.
When they were at home, Mrs. Tao took all of Tan Rou’s books and said that she wanted to give Tan Rou a nice cover. Tan Rou was a little embarrassed and wanted to stop her. “Mom, I’m already so old now and I don’t even need a cover anymore.”
However, Mrs. Tao insisted, “I’ve never wrapped a single book cover for you. I didn’t get to witness your growth. As your mother, this is my biggest regret. I’ll make sure to wrap it up nicely for you. No matter how old you are, you’ll always be my precious daughter.”
Tan Rou had no choice but to allow her to do so.
Recalling the determination on Mother Tao’s face, Tan Rou touched the book in her hand. The cover was the one Mother Tao had chosen for her. It was a light pink colour with a few small cherry blossoms.
