When Tao Yue returned to the Tao family’s house, it was already past 10 pm. In fact, the banquet ended at 8 pm. Tan Rou and the rest had already returned. The reason why she had waited until now was because Zhuang Che did not want to send her home at all.

Zhuang Che looked for Tan Rou everywhere in the venue. After knowing that Tan Rou had left, Zhuang Che was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he talked to some business partners and did not care about Tao Yue at all.

Tao Yue followed behind Zhuang Che and kept harassing him, asking him to send her back. Zhuang Che had no choice but to call a cab for her. Tao Yue still didn’t want to take a taxi. She said it wasn’t safe for a girl to take a taxi alone.

Zhuang Che did not let her have her way. He told her to either wait for him to finish speaking or take a taxi back. His original intention was to get rid of Tao Yue, but Tao Yue was very persistent this time and insisted that Zhuang Che send her back.

Zhuang Che could not leave Tao Yue alone, so he sent her home.

Tao Yue entered the house quietly. She thought her parents were already asleep, but they were waiting for her. She suddenly felt a little scared because she did not tell her parents that she had gone to the auction today. She only said that she had gone to play with her friends.

“Why are you back so late? What kind of friend is it that you’re out until so late?!” Second Uncle Tao asked first.

“A friend from school asked me out to watch a movie.” Tao Yue made up an excuse. “It’s late. I’m going back to rest.”

“Stop!” Second Uncle Tao pointed at the sofa on the side and said sternly, “Sit here!”

Tao Yue asked her mother for help. She hoped that her mother would let her go back to sleep. “Mom, I’m sleepy.”

Second Aunt Tao shook her head slightly and did not say a word.

Tao Yue saw that she couldn’t leave, so she sat beside her mother. “Dad, Mom, 1 really went out with my friends.”

“Call your friend now.” Second Uncle Tao’s expression was very serious. “Let me see what kind of friends they are.”

“Alright.” Fortunately, Tao Yue was prepared. Before she left, she sent a message to a friend, saying that if she called her at night, she must tell her that they went to the movies together.

Tao Yue dialed the girl’s number, but it didn’t get through until the second time.

The girl had just woken up from her sleep and was still sleepy when she spoke. “Helio, Yue Yue, what’s wrong?”

Tao Yue raised her voice and repeated it to the girl. “It’s like this. Didn’t we go to the movies tonight? Then, my parents didn’t believe that 1 went out with you and insisted that I call you to ask.”

“Watch a movie?” The girl was a little confused. Then she remembered what Tao Yue had said to her in the afternoon, so she instantly woke up. “Yes, Uncle and Auntie. 1 was at the movies with Yue Yue tonight. The movie ended a little late, so we came back late.” Since Tao Yue was calling her now, it meant that Tao Yue came home very late. She couldn’t let it slip.

Second Uncle Tao reluctantly believed it, and Tao Yue hung up the phone.

“Mom, Dad, are you suspecting me?” Tao Yue asked unhappily.

In the past, Second Aunt Tao trusted Tao Yue completely. However, Tao Yue’s behavior was really strange recently. She was worried that Tao Yue would do something stupid.

The Capital was a chaotic place during the New Year. It was not safe for Tao Yue to be alone outside. If she accidentally met a bad person, it would be too late for them to regret.

“Try not to go out at night in the future. Even if you do, don’t come back so late.” Second Uncle Tao set a time for Tao Yue. “You can’t come back after 9:30 in the evening for the time being. Also, if there’s nothing important, don’t go out at night.”

Tao Yue really wanted to ask why there were no restrictions on her eldest cousin going out at night, but she couldn’t say it in case her parents found out that she was targeting her uncle’s family again.

“Go back and rest.” Second Aunt Tao was also a little sleepy. If it weren’t because she was waiting for her daughter, she would have gone to bed long ago. “Wake up early tomorrow. It’s New Year’s Eve in a few days. We have to decorate the house.”

Tao Yue nodded slightly. “Good night, Mom and Dad.”

After she left, Second Uncle Tao said to Second Aunt Tao, “I hope she didn’t lie to us.”

Second Aunt Tao said sadly, “1 hope my Yue Yue won’t go astray!” Compared to her own son, Tao Sheng, Second Aunt Tao liked her adopted daughter more. She liked her daughter very much. Otherwise, she would not have adopted Tao Yue at the orphanage. She only hoped that Tao Yue wouldn’t hurt her..
