Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

93 093 Meeting Tao Qi

Xiao Mo didn’t know that he had been despised by his boss and had lost his generous bonus. He politely got out of the car and opened the trunk to help Tan Rou take out the bags of medicinal herbs.

Tan Rou said goodbye to Zhuang Liu and quickly got out of the car to take the herbs. She rejected Xiao Mo’s offer to send them to her house.

Tan Rou didn’t want her parents to think too much about it. Xiao Mo was dressed like a professional and because he was Zhuang Liu’s most capable assistant, his clothes were all expensive. With such a luxurious car parked at the gate, it may cause others to be misunderstood. Tan Rou was afraid that her parents would be too reserved and she didn’t want to cause any trouble.

Xiao Mo turned back to Zhuang Liu hesitantly. Zhuang Liu understood Tan Rou’s thoughts and nodded his head. He did not force her and merely smiled and waved at her.

Tan Rou knew that Zhuang Liu understood her and was willing to understand her. She was afraid that the luxury car would be blocked in the alley and the neighbours would look at them. Tan Rou quickly waved back at Xiao Mo and ran into the Tao family’s house.

Zhuang Liu shook his head helplessly. Usually, wherever he went, he would be the centre of attention but now he was getting despised and he didn’t mind it.

Zhuang Liu glared at Xiao Mo. “Hurry up and leave. If you waste anymore of my time, I will deduct your pay again!”

Xiao Mo paused for a moment and finally realized that the third master was angry at him. Why did he deduct his salary and why did he say ‘again’? Unknowingly, how much of his pay has been deducted?!

Feeling dejected, Xiao Mo got into his car and drove away from the Tao family. He didn’t dare to say another word on their way back.

As soon as Tan Rou entered the house, she heard laughter coming from the living room. A young boy’s voice was acting coquettishly with Mrs. Tao.

Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. This boy had actually come back so soon and it was much earlier than expected. He didn’t know if it was because he was eager to protect his elder sister which was why he was in a hurry to come back to help Tan Jing deal with her.

When Mrs Tan heard the noise from the door, Mrs. Tao called out to Tan Rou happily, “Is Xiao Rou home? Come! Meet your little brother.”

Tan Rou took off her shoes and walked into the living room with the herbs. She finally saw her younger brother, Tao Qi. contemporary romance

In her previous life, Tao Qi was the most deceived by Tan Jing and was an accomplice alongside Tan Jing. In the end, when he faced the destruction of the Tao family, he came to a sudden realization and couldn’t stand the blow of it. He was on the verge of collapse.

Tao Qi was just a teenager. After hearing his mother’s words, he glared at Tan Rou, who had just walked into the living room. His gaze was unfriendly and he even curled his lips provocatively, revealing his sharp little canine teeth.

However, in the next moment, Tao Qi felt his mother’s gaze and his expression changed. He raised his head and smiled at his mother, appearing cute and innocent.

Tan Rou found it funny. This little brother of hers was pretending to be obedient but he was actually a little wolf that was difficult to tame. However, no matter how difficult it was to tame him, it would not be a challenge for Tan Rou. There will be a day where she would make him put away his claws and learn how to be a good little brother.

Tan Rou secretly criticised him in her heart but she still pretended to be gentle and amiable on the surface. “So…. is this Tao Qi? Hello, I’m your sister, Tan Rou.”

Tao Qi looked at Tan Rou and rolled his eyes in disgust. What a hypocritical woman! She had the nerve to say that she was his sister. Then, he pretended to be innocent and asked while looking at the bag in Tan Rou’s hand, “Did you pick up trash? Our family shouldn’t be that poor, right?”

Tan Rou’s eyes narrowed. This boy….was he declaring war?

Mother Tao patted Tao Qi lightly and chuckled, “Don’t talk nonsense. Your sister is very capable. She has the abilities to treat others.”

Then, she turned towards Tan Rou and asked, “Why did you buy so much herbs?? Your studies are more important for you now. Don’t tire yourself out!”

Tan Rou nodded obediently. “It’s okay, mom. I know what I’m doing. Some of them need it urgently and so I would need to make more of it. It isn’t tiring at all.”

Mrs. Tao smiled in relief. It was a good thing that her daughter had these skills.

Tao Qi’s mouth twitched. “You make it sound so nice but I’m just afraid that you don’t have any real ability. What if you poison someone and our family would end up compensating other’s for your mistake?”

Mother Tao’s face turned serious as she looked at Tao Qi. “Xiao Qi, stop talking nonsense! This is your elder sister! What do you mean by our family? What are you saying? We’re a family. If I hear you talking nonsense again, you’ll be punished!”

Tao Qi hurriedly hugged his mother and acted like a good boy. “Mom, I won’t say it anymore, okay? I don’t know her yet and I’m already an adult. Please don’t punish me like you did when I was a young boy!”
