70 070 A Long Journey Ahead Tan Jing looked proud of herself as she continued, “Oh… Tan Rou, don’t be too arrogant. You’re just a burden that no one wants. Do you really think you’re a pearl in their palm?”

After Tan Jing finished speaking, she quietly waited for Tan Rou’s reaction.

Wasn’t tan Rou immersed in the love that the Tao family had for her? However, all of this was only temporary and would soon be broken. The little demon King of the Tao family, Tao Qi, would be back soon.

Tao Qi was the youngest and he was the youngest son that the Tao couple had by accident. He had been astute since he was young and he had coaxed the whole family to grant all his requests and dote on him. Even Tan Jing had been secretly jealous of him when she was young.

However, Tao Qi liked his sister the most. He had been following Tan Jing since he was young. Tan Jing thought he was noisy and bullied him a lot in private but Tao Qi was never bothered by it. He always called her his big sister.

Tan Jing had almost forgotten about this little devil. She only heard that Tao Qi was sent to study there because of his high IQ. Everything else was kept a secret and the two had not seen each other for a long time.

But now, Tao Qi was of great use. She could use him to suppress Tan Rou’s prestige. After all, Tao Qi was both obedient to Tan Jing. With him around, Tan Rou would no longer be able to stay in the Tao family!

Of course, Tan Rou knew what Tan Jing was trying to say.

In her previous life, Tao Qi had rushed home and cried his heart out. Seeing that the Tao family hadn’t driven Tan Rou out yet, he changed his strategy and worked with Tan Jing to hinder Tan Rou from both inside and outside. Sometimes it would be a prank and other times may be accusation. There was once where he even hid a snake in Tan Rou’s blanket.

Tan Rou wasn’t actually worried about her brother. Even if Tao Qi’s IQ was frighteningly high, he was still a child in terms of emotional intelligence. After all, he was a child of the Tao family and his nature was still pure and kind. It was just that he could not accept the fact that he had a different sister and he was incited by Tan Jing.

What Tan Jing didn’t know was that in her previous life, after Tao Qi hid the snake in his blanket, he was still worried and took a wooden stick to guard nearby. Seeing that she was so scared, he walked out with an awkward face and took away the snake.

Tan Rou thought of her brother. Not only was she not provoked by Tan Jing’s words but she smiled instead, “I’m very happy that my brother is back. As for what you said, I’m not interested at all. I was wondering why you suddenly became so smug. Do you want Tao Qi to be your little helper in order to deal with me?”

Tan Jing sneered. “Don’t be stubborn. Even if you don’t admit it, I know that you should be panicking by now. In the hearts of the Tao family, how can a newly acknowledged daughter be compared to a son who has been pampered since young? I don’t need to do anything. Your biological brother will make you feel pain. What a great show! I’ll definitely appreciate it!”

Tan Rou stared at Tan Jing from head to toe. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Tan Jing, don’t tell me you’ve already gone crazy? You’re really putting in so much effort now just to defeat me. Don’t tell me you’re already a psychopath?”

Tan Rou’s face was indifferent but she was still in the mood to mock Tan Jing with a smile. This made Tan Jing feel like she was the only one who seriously regarded the other as an opponent, like a clown!

Tan Jing gritted her teeth as she said. “Tan Rou, there’s still a long way to go. Let’s see how long you can continue to act so smug. You’re pretending to be calm and collected now but don’t cry in the next few days!”

Tan Rou laughed and shook her head. Tan Jing was really interesting. No matter how many times Tan Jiang had suffered in her hands, Tan Jing always had an inexplicable confidence that she would be defeated sooner or later. This kind of spirit of becoming braver each time she got defeated was really worth learning.

However, Tan Jing was wrong about one thing. Tan Rou never pretended to be calm. Instead, she had full confidence and tried her best to live a good life. After Tao Qi returned, Tan Rou naturally had a way to deal with this somewhat rebellious brother.

Class was about to start and Tan Rou didn’t want to dawdle with Tan Jing any longer. She put on a solemn look on her face and looked at Tan Jing seriously. “You’re right. We have a long way to go but I’ll give you a piece of advice. You can look down on me and you can also stir up trouble for me but this is between the two of us. If you still have a conscience, don’t drag the Tao family into this.”

Tan Rou stared into Tan Jing’s eyes, and as she spoke, she stepped closer to Tan Jing. Her dark pupils reflected a cold light causing Tan Jing to remain frozen in place.

“Especially with Tao Qi. He might really like you as his sister in the past but that might not be the case in the future.”
