141 141 What are your intentions?

Father Tao and Mother Tao listened to the malicious words coming out of Tan Jing’s mouth. She kept mocking the Tao family for being poor and mocked Tan Rou for being in such a dire state. They felt very upset.

Although he knew that Tan Jing’s previous sensible and obedient behaviour was all an act, he did not expect that in private, Tan Jing would also speak so viciously with her tone full of arrogance.

Mr. Tao and Mrs. Tao couldn’t imagine if Xiao Rou had been ridiculed by Tan Jing like this before they knew the truth. After coming back from the Tan family, Xiao Rou must have felt depressed and Tan Jing was still provoking her so arrogantly. Xiao Rou must have felt awful!

It was all their fault for being incompetent parents. They pursued frugality and forgot about their child’s feelings, which gave Tan Jing the opportunity to use her family’s power to mock Tan Rou.

Mrs. Tao held onto Mr. Tao’s hand and looked at Tan Rou with concern.

Tan Rou was naturally unhappy to hear these words. Tan Jing had said and done even more outrageous things in private but Tan Rou would always fight back. There was nothing to be angry about. She would just allow Tan Jing to jump around like a clown.

Tan Rou glanced at Tao Qi, who was sleeping in the room, from a distance. She didn’t have the time to argue with Tan Jing and automatically ignored Tan Jing’s provocation. She asked directly, “If you were really good to Tao Qi, you should do your homework. What did you feed him? He’s lying in the hospital after having a meal with you. What are you up to?”

Tan Jing was stunned for a moment and subconsciously denied, “In the hospital? How is that possible? This has nothing to do with me!”

“What did you guys eat?” Tan Rou frowned.

Tan Jing shouted in exasperation, “Tan Rou, you’re deliberately trying to frame me, aren’t you? You’re just jealous that I brought Tao Qi to a high-end restaurant. That restaurant is so expensive and luxurious! How could it possibly cause him to eat anything bad?! I’m fine now! Could it be that Tao Qi had never eaten such good food before and his body had difficulty digesting it? Hmph, how dare you question me?!”

Their faces turned livid. They were instantly angered by Tan Jing.

Judging from Tan Jing’s reaction, she probably didn’t know what Tao Qi was allergic to but Tan Jing’s disrespect to Tao Qi in a moment of desperation still made the three of them very angry. What did she mean by Tao Qi had never eaten such good food? What did she take the Tao family for? Beggars?

Tan Rou’s tone was stiff and she didn’t want to say another word to Tan Jing. She only coldly said, “You are indeed a good sister to Tao Qi. I didn’t want to interfere with Tao Qi’s choice but I’ve changed my mind. Don’t even think about seeing him again.”

On the other end, Tan Jing was unwilling to let it go. “Tan Rou! You’re just afraid that Tao Qi and I will get closer and that he’ll kick you out of the Tao family. This was why you came up with this idea, right? I told you that day, Tao Qi is the most doted on. As long as he doesn’t acknowledge you, you will not be allowed to stay in the Tao family. You looked like you didn’t care at all but you were actually scared to death! Weren’t you?!”

Mrs. Tao couldn’t take it anymore. She walked up to Tan Rou and took the phone. “Xiao Rou, don’t be afraid. Whether Xiao Qi accepts it or not, Xiao Rou is my daughter. This home will be her home forever. Xiao Rou has already warned you that you will not be allowed to see Tao Qi anymore. Now, I’m warning you as Tao Qi’s mother! You’re not allowed to contact him in private again or I’ll call the police. You’re no longer related to our family. This will be child abduction!”

Mr. Tao also stepped forward and added, “Tao Qi is still young. He still doesn’t know who’s sincere and who’s not. This is because we, as parents, didn’t educate him well. In the future, we won’t have to trouble Ms Tan for bringing our children out for a better experience. We can still afford to raise a child!”

When Tan Jing heard Mr. And Mrs. Tao’s voices, she was stunned. When she thought about how they had heard what she had just said, she immediately felt guilty. “No! I was just angered by Tan Rou. That’s why I spoke without thinking. Dad, mom, please don’t be angry!”

Mrs. Tao snorted coldly, “You were spouting nonsense? Didn’t Miss Tan sound arrogant earlier? You said it so firmly but now you aren’t going to admit it? There’s no point in saying more. I hope you can remember what we just said.”

Tan Jing was anxious and shouted over the phone, “Tan Rou did it on purpose! She deliberately set me up and even turned on the speaker for you to hear!”

Mrs. Tao rolled her eyes in disgust. “I was the one who asked Xiao Rou to put it on speaker. I want to hear how you got my son into the hospital. Xiao Qi doesn’t need a sister like you. Please stay away from our family!”
