Chapter 602 - 602: 602 Tell the Truth
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“It’s really something from the company!” Mr. Tao said. Actually, he didn’t want to lie, but it was the new year, and he didn’t want the old lady to be troubled by the younger generation.
Grandpa Tao came out to smooth things over. “Hurry up and eat. Didn’t you prepare so much food? If we don’t eat it now, it’ll turn cold.”
Grandma Tao felt that eating was more important. She had been in good health these days. It was not easy for her to wait until the new year, so she had to eat more.
Because of her poor memory, she forgot to ask the children about going out. After dinner, she took her grandchildren outside to watch the fireworks and completely forgot about it.
Grandpa Tao didn’t forget that he had noticed the children’s abnormality before dinner. Since they didn’t say anything, there must be something difficult.

The four siblings looked at each other, thinking of a good excuse to hide it from their father.
Grandpa Tao seemed to have sensed their thoughts. “I can tell if you’re lying or not, so don’t think about lying to me.”
After entering the study, the door was closed. Grandpa Tao sat in front of the table and looked at the eldest. “You’re the eldest brother. Speak.”
Father Tao looked at the siblings and wanted to struggle a little more. “We’re really fine…”
Grandpa Tao interrupted him. “Don’t lie. Tell me honestly!”
“Let me say it. It’s all my fault.” Aunt Tao spoke first. “It’s going to be a new year soon. I don’t want to stay at home this year, so 1 want to start my old company. Coincidentally, I have company matters to deal with today. I’m not used to it yet, so I asked my brothers to accompany me.”
Grandpa Tao was skeptical. “Is that really the case?”
The three brothers quickly nodded. “Dad, that’s the truth. We aren’t lying to you.”
“When Xiao Rou took your pulse this afternoon, she said that you were injured and your blood was weak.” Grandpa Tao heard their conversation, but he didn’t believe his daughter’s story. How serious was the fall that caused such a huge problem.”
“It’s really just a fall. My body is weak because I was trying to lose weight some time ago,” Aunt Taoexplained.
“You’re already so thin. Why do you still need to lose weight?” Grandpa Tao frowned and said, “Let me tell you. Our family members are not allowed to lose weight, nor are we allowed to eat and drink too much. ‘A healthy body is the capital of a revolution.’ Do you still remember this family motto?”
The children stood in a row, just like when they were young and received a lecture from their father. They said in unison, “Dad, we do.”
When Grandpa Tao mentioned the family precepts, his thoughts would wander and he would forget to ask about the injury.

Grandpa Tao put this matter aside for now. “We’ll talk about this later. Don’t let me find out that you’re lying to me.” With that, he went to the courtyard.
Father Tao heaved a sigh of relief and said to Mother Tao, “Fortunately, you came in time. Otherwise, 1 wouldn’t know how to deal with the old man.”
“Brother and sister-in-law, I’m sorry! If it weren’t for the fact that you were trying to hide it for me, you wouldn’t have lied to Dad.”
“Don’t worry about this.” Mrs. Tao came over and held her hand. “Today is New Year’s Eve. Let go of the past and welcome a new life. In the future, you should just be yourself. You won’t have to live under the noses of those two old fellows from the Jin family anymore.”
Aunt Tao smiled. “I understand, sister-in-law.”
“Hurry up and go out to watch the fireworks. If we’re late, the old lady will scold us again.” Mrs. Tao brought Aunt Tao to the courtyard.
Today was the New Year’s Eve Reunion Festival. Everyone in the Tao family was here. Even Aunt Tao’s twin sons celebrated the festival here every year. However, Tao Yue didn’t show up. The old lady punished her to go back and reflect on herself. No one dared to disobey the old lady’s order and let her come back.
Dazzling fireworks bloomed in the air, short but beautiful.
Tan Rou accompanied her family to watch the Spring Festival Gala for a while, then started to fiddle with her phone. It was already past eight o’clock at night. Logically speaking, she should stay at home to accompany her family to watch the fireworks but now she had to go out..
