Chapter 425: 425 Taking a Step Back
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Big brother, are you bullying third brother again?” Tan Ron’s pretty face scrunched up, looking a little unhappy.
Tao Zhi felt so wronged. When did he bully Zhuang Liu? He couldn’t say that he bullied Zhuang Liu just because he was standing while Zhuang Liu was sitting here, right?
“Sister, 1 didn’t bully him. I was just telling him off.”Tao Zheng defended himself.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTan Ron thought that Tao Zhi was blaming Zhuang Liu for bringing her here, so she explained on Zhuang Liu’s behalf, “Big Brother, Third Brother only brought me here just to celebrate my birthday. He is a very attentive man. 1 simply said that I don’t like the crowded atmosphere at the banquet today and only wanted to have a simple meal with my family. He remembered it.”
Tao Zhi was stunned. He didn’t expect Tan Rou to think this way. They thought that their sister would have a pleased birthday at The Shore. Moreover, Tao Zheng and Tao Qi liked celebrating their birthdays with a crowd, especially Tao Qi. It was said that he invited many friends on his birthday last year. Even if they were not his classmates, he also invited them.
“Xiao Rou, don’t you like the birthday party we prepared for you? Then why don’t we have another one?” Tao Zhi asked anxiously.
“No one else would be invited and only our family would be there. Is that okay?”
Zhuang Liu took the opportunity to say, “We’ve already prepared the food. 1 even invited your family over for dinner tonight. Auntie has already agreed to come over just now. You can come directly tonight. You don’t have to prepare anything else.”
Tao Zhi didn’t want to be outdone by Zhuang Liu in this aspect, so he said, “Xiao Rou, wait for me. I’ll decorate our house now. 1 guarantee it’ll look better than Zhuang Liu’s house.”
“No need.” Tan Rou grabbed Tao Zhi’s arm and smiled. “You can only be surprised once. Once you’re surprised, you won’t be surprised again.” Whether it’s the birthday party prepared by my parents and brother or the birthday party prepared by Zhang Liu, I love it equally. Don’t fight anymore. If you continue to fight, I don’t know how long this birthday party will last.”
Tao Zhi was a little upset. While preparing, they only wanted to introduce Tan Rou to everyone so that everyone would respect her more after knowing her true identity. They didn’t expect Tan Rou not to like such a birthday party at all.
“Big brother, Zhuang Liu very good to me.” Tan Rou kept talking about Zhuang Liu’s benefits. “The doctor I learned medicine from was Third Brother’s personal doctor. He specializes in treating Third Brother. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have interacted so much with Uncle Bai Jing and wouldn’t have learned medicine.”
“Also, when Tan Jing said that I was being kept, it was him who helped me deal with it. He helped me gather the evidence, found a lawyer, and even helped me eliminate many negative effects.”
“Brother Zhuang would also introduce me to many different people. He would also come along with me whenever I had to visit my patients.”
Tan Rou said, “There are still many things that I can’t list out one by one. Anyway, Brother Zhuang San has helped me a lot. You can’t bully him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTao Zhi really regretted that he had not come back earlier. If he had come back earlier, he would have been able to protect his sister. Moreover, his emotions were a little complicated now. He could not continue to scold Zhuang Liu for being a villain with ill intentions, but he could not directly hand his sister over to Zhuang Liu.
After hesitating for a long time, Tao Zhi threatened to Zhuang Liu, “Zhuang Liu, listen to me. My sister is still young. You must not do anything out of line to her!”
Zhuang Liu wouldn’t. Tan Rou had just come of age and was in her third year of high school. He would not do anything to her. “Don’t worry, I won’t do those things. 1 will only protect Rourou silently by her side.”
Tao Zhi wanted to say, ‘My sister doesn’t need you to protect her’, but he swallowed his words when he saw his sister’s happy expression.
“There’s one more thing. You have to protect my sister at all times. If anything happens to Xiao Rou, I’ll make sure you and your family suffer!” Tao Zhi emphasized.
Although our current strength could not shake the Zhuang family’s position, the Tao family behind him could.
Zhuang Liu’s tone was sincere. “Even if something happens to me, I will never allow anyone to hurt her.”
Tao Zhi couldn’t stop his sister from siding with Zhuang Liu, so he could only give in. He couldn’t let his sister be mad at him because of Zhuang Liu..
