Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Gao Ming really liked Tao Yue. Not only was she beautiful, but her grades were excellent too. Even as the eldest daughter of the Tao family, she was very humble.

“Let’s go over and rest for a while.” Tao Yue’s eyes were fixed on Tan Rou. “Otherwise, I’ll be sleepy in the afternoon.””

They sat behind Tan Rou while she rested. Tao Yue kept staring at the back of her head, wishing that she could see through it.

Without Tan Rou, Tao Yue could continue being the eldest daughter of the Tao family. It didn’t matter even if she was an adopted daughter. After all, she was the only daughter of the Tao family. But now that Tan Rou was going to return, she would have nothing left. Moreover, her uncle’s family had said that they would come back in the next two days. If her uncle came back, would there still be anything left for her father?

The two-and-a-half-hour break time passed quickly. All the students had to go through the final individual competition. This time, the individual competition was all done online. The scores would not be revealed immediately. They would only be able to check the results a few days later.

All the students could only leave after the competition. Tan Rou couldn’t leave even after she finished writing. Perhaps she had drunk too much water after lunch and wanted to go to the bathroom, so she ran to the bathroom as soon as the competition ended and sent a message to Li Li and the others to wait for her.

Li Li and the others were waiting for Tan Rou at the entrance. There were quite a lot of people at the entrance, so they stood a little higher to prevent Tan Rou from seeing them.

“Eh? That man looks a little familiar.” Li Li narrowed her eyes and looked at the man who was holding onto a red banner. “Why does he look like Rourou’s brother?”

Lu Qing said lightly, “Do you think the person beside you looks like Tan Ron’s second brother?”

When he said that, Li Li really felt that the other one looked like Tao Zheng.

“Is there a possibility that they are Tan Ron’s big brother and second brother?” Lu Qing had recognized them long ago.

“Brother Tao, Brother Tao!” Li Li waved at them.

Tao Zhi was the first to see Li Li. He dragged his brother over, but he didn’t see Tan Rou. “Why are you guys the only ones here?”

“Xiao Rou went to the toilet. We’ll wait for her here.”

“Big Cousin.” Tao Yue had seen Tao Zhi before, so when Li Li called Tao Zhi, she came over.

The Tao brothers didn’t get a sister, but a cousin.

Tao Zhi greeted her, “It’s Yue Yue, long time no see.”

Tao Yue saw the banners on their bodies and felt that they were really embarrassing the Tao family. They even dared to take out such cheap things. They were indeed a poor family.

“Yue Yue, did you see our Xiao Rou?” Tao Zhi asked.

“Eh? Big Cousin, you’re here too?” Tao Yue said deliberately. “Didn’t First Uncle say that Tan Rou’s results were not good? Why would she participate in the physics competition?”

Li Li jumped down from the steps and said angrily, “You’re an interesting person. We were still together during lunch. Why are you pretending not to know each other now?”

Tao Yue had forgotten that Li Li and Lu Qing were here. She smiled awkwardly. “It’s true that she’s my cousin but I have never met her. This was my first time as well.”

“But if you don’t know Xiao Rou, why did you take the initiative to greet us? And Rourou just told me that you’re her sister. She didn’t want to affect your performance in the competition, so she didn’t dare to acknowledge you. Xiao Rou looks so much like Big Brother Tao. How is it that you recognize Big Brother Tao but not Xiao Rou?” Li Li was simply babbling nonsense just to make Tao Rue feel embarrassed.

Tao Zhi also asked, “Didn’t your father ask for a picture of Tan Rou?”

Tao Yue had already seen it and recognized Tan Rou, but now she had to insist that she didn’t know Tan Rou. Otherwise, her good image would be ruined.

“It didn’t come to me since I have heard that she has been doing great academically.”

“Xiao Rou’s grades are much better than yours.” Tao Zheng had never seen Tao Yue before, so he didn’t have to be nice to her. “She always got the first place in the school, and she got full marks in all the Physics qualifiers. Did you get full marks?”

Tao Yue didn’t have a perfect score. Her best was only 98.

“I…” Tao Yue stammered, not knowing how to answer.

“Why are you all gathered here?” Mrs. Tao came over with a celebratory flag in her hand. “Where’s Rourou?”

Tao Yue was jealous when she saw her auntie coming.. Tan Rou’s whole family was here for the competition!
