Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Grandma, 1 don’t think that Tao Yue is a stupid person for no reason.” Tan Rou analyzed Tao Yue’s behavior today. “Since Yuanxi doesn’t belong to Tao Yue, Tao Yue definitely won’t take the initiative to mention it to others. I think something happened recently that made Tao Yue eager to show off.”
Grandma Tao nodded. “Although Tao Yue had some tricks in the past, most of the time, it was just to please her parents. But ever since you came back, her behavior has been very radical, as if she was in a hurry to prove something.”
“Perhaps you can find out what happened outside. Maybe that would explain why she’s been acting this way.”
“Yes. I’ll get someone to investigate this matter immediately,” Grandma Tao said.
On the other side, Tao Yue was lying on the bed after being whipped. The injury on her back was not that serious, but she had to make it look serious so that her parents would feel sorry for her and not pursue the matter with Meng Xiao and the others.
Second Aunt Tao heard from Grandma Tao that Tao Yue had brought people to Yuanxi Manor and that Tao Yue had been beaten up. She ran back in a panic. He saw Tao Yue lying on the bed. Her shirt was covered in blood, and it was obvious that she had been beaten up badly.
“Yue Yue, how are you?” Second Aunt Tao caressed Tao Yue’s shoulder with heartache. “How could Aunt Zhou be so ruthless?”
Tao Yue’s tears finally fell. “Mom, it’s all my fault. 1 shouldn’t have let anyone into Yuanxi Manor. If 1 stopped them from entering, they would not take their eldest cousin’s things.”
“Yue Yue, what’s going on?” Second Aunt Tao asked. “Why did your grandmother say that you brought people to steal your eldest cousin’s jewelry?”
“Mom, I didn’t bring anyone to steal my eldest cousin’s jewelry.” Tao Yue shook her head, but her back hurt whenever she moved, so she could only speak to Second Aunt Tao stiffly. “I invited them to my house as guests, but they saw the flowers in Yuanxi Manor when they were strolling around, so they slipped in when I wasn’t paying attention.”
Second Aunt Tao was a little angry. “Yue Yue, didn’t 1 tell you not to play with that Meng Xiao? Why are you playing with her again?”
Tao Yue was just Meng Xiao’s tool. Now that her relationship with Meng Xiao had broken, she would make use of that idiot Meng Xiao for the last time.
“Mom, I don’t want to get along with Meng Xiao either, but Meng Xiao somehow found out that I’m not your biological child and spread rumors that I’m going to be chased out of the Tao family.” Tao Yue cried. “In order to break the rumor, I had to invite them back to play. 1 wanted them to see how good my grandparents and parents were to me.”
Second Aunt Tao caressed Tao Yue’s face and sighed. “No matter what, Daddy and Mommy love you and will never chase you out.”
“Mom, I regret it now. 1 shouldn’t have let Meng Xiao and the others go to Source Creek Manor, and I shouldn’t have let them take Eldest Cousin’s jewelry. Now that Eldest Cousin is angry with me, 1 don’t know how to make up with her.” Tao Yue said pitifully.
“Apologize to her sincerely. If you don’t know how to say it, make a draft first.” Second Aunt Tao gave her an idea.
“Then, go apologize to your grandmother. You have to do it with ail your heart. I believe they will forgive you.”
Tao Yue’s head moved slightly. “Mom, 1’11 go apologize to them later.”
Second Aunt Tao said, “Yue Yue, you can’t make such a mistake again.”
“Mom, don’t worry. 1 won’t bring outsiders to Yuanxi Manor again.” Tao Yue promised.
“Have a good rest.” Second Aunt Tao helped her change into a soft blanket. “Now that your back is injured like this, I don’t even know if you can participate in the piano competition next week.”
“I have to!” Tao Yue sat up immediately. Her back hurt so much that she broke out in a cold sweat. “Mom, I’ll definitely recover when the piano competition starts.”
She couldn’t let go of the only chance she had to show off. Tao Yue had to win first place in this piano competition..
