Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Tan Ron glanced at her brother beside her and then at Zhuang Liu in front of her. She said awkwardly, “I didn’t miss you.”

Zhuang Liu was anxious. “Didn’t you ask Aunt Zhou to tell me that you missed me?”

Tan Ron’s ears turned red. She had only said that casually. She did not expect Aunt Zhou to really tell Zhuang Liu about it. It was really too embarrassing.

“It’s nothing. Don’t say it.” Tan Ron secretly observed her brother’s expression. She would say it, but she didn’t want to say such mushy words in front of her brother.

Tao Zhi simply couldn’t hear. He didn’t know that Zhuang Liu was so thick-skinned that he would take the initiative to say such mushy words. He covered his ears and said to Tan Rou, “Rourou, I’ll go out and get the car first. Come and find me after you’re done talking. Mom wants us to go back early.”

“Yes, I understand.” Tan Rou nodded.

After Tao Zhi left, Tan Ron’s nervousness eased up a lot. Shen Jing was also upstairs taking care of Zhuang Yan, so she could talk to Zhuang Liu for a while.

“I’ve missed you so much.” Zhuang Liu said affectionately. This was the first time they had been separated for so long since they had known each other. Even back then, one of them was in the capital, and the other was in school. They met once a week.

Tan Rou pursed her lips and said gently, “1 miss you too, Third Brother.”

They hugged each other and separated at the touch.

“I just gave uncle some medicine. There are twenty-one portions in total and you need to use it for twenty-one days. The antidote will take effect today and he should wake up in three days at the latest.” Tan Rou told Zhuang Liu about the things to take note of. “After Uncle wakes up, you can let him take the antidote directly. It’ll be faster that way.”

Zhuang Liu took note of them one by one, but he was still not satisfied. “Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

Tan Rou thought that he was talking about taking care of the solemn details, so she added, “When Uncle wakes up, you have to inform me immediately. I’ll come over and formulate a treatment and diet plan for him according to his condition. His stomach is relatively weak, so we can’t let him eat directly.”

Zhuang Liu didn’t want to hear this. “1 want to hear something else. Other than missing me, is there anything else you want to say to me?”

Even if Tan Rou had something to say, she couldn’t say it now. She said, “There’s nothing else to say. Go and see your father. My brother is still waiting for me outside.”

Zhuang Liu was a little disappointed. He had been missing Tan Rou every minute and every second these days. Even when he slept, she was always in his dreams. He had wanted to wait for Tan Rou to come out and have a good talk with her to ease his longing, but Tan Rou had nothing to say to him.

“Yes.” Zhuang Liu said, “You should head home first. i’ll go see my father.”

Tan Rou looked at the sad expression on his face and suddenly smiled. “i haven’t had dinner with my family in a long time. My mother asked someone to prepare a lot of dishes for me to go back for dinner tonight. I’ll just head home and be with them for today. I’ll meet you tomorrow.”

Zhuang Liu’s eyes lit up. “Okay, then we’ll see you tomorrow.”

On the road outside, Tao Zhi was already waiting for Tan Rou. He was watching the news while waiting. When Tan Rou came in, he happened to see a piece of news about the Zhuang family.

“How’s the old man of the Zhuang family recently?” Tao Zhi asked casually.

Tan Rou was taken aback. “Why did Big Brother ask about his situation?”

She had also gone to see Old Master Zhuang, but Old Master Zhuang seemed to have reached the end of his life and could not turn back. His health was probably not good to begin with. After the encounter with his third son and then falling down, the old man never recovered from the blow.

“I just happened to see a report about the Zhuang family, so 1 was just asking.” Tao Zhi said.

“Old Master Zhuang’s condition is not good. It seems like it’s fated.” Tan Rou said emotionally. “I can’t save him.”

Tao Zhi patted Tan Ron’s shoulder and comforted her. “This isn’t your problem. Doctors can’t save all patients. Birth and death can’t be stopped.”

“I just hope that Uncle Zhuang can wake up soon so that he can see Grandpa Zhuang one last time.” Tan Rou sighed.

“Yes.” Tao Zhi started the car. “Let’s go back quickly. Dad and Mom are still waiting for us for dinner.”

Tan Rou fastened her seatbelt. “Let’s go home..”
