260 260 Zhuang Liu’s Assumptions
“Xiao Rou.” Zhuang Liu smiled warmly. “What a coincidence.”
Tan Rou was surprised to see him. “Why are you here?”
‘Could it be that he followed me here? No way! I only found out about this resort when I arrived here. How did Zhuang Liu get the news in advance?’
“When I heard you were going on a vacation, I remembered that I haven’t been on vacation in a long time. I got Xiao Mo to book a room at the resort. I didn’t expect to be neighbors with you.” Zhuang Liu explained.
In fact, he had booked rooms in all the resorts available. He also sent people to keep an eye on Tan Rou’s family. As soon as they left in the morning, Zhuang Liu’s car was already on the road. Ultimately, because Tan Jing’s appearance delayed them, he arrived earlier than them.
“Oh, then, have a good rest.”
Zhuang Liu saw that she had no intention of inviting him, so he planned to strike first.
Just as he was about to speak, Mrs. Tao’s voice came from downstairs. “Tan Rou, We’re going to have a picnic.”
Tan Rou hurriedly bid Zhuang Liu farewell. “Third Master, I’ll be leaving first. My mother is calling for me.”
“Go ahead.” Zhuang Liu did not insist on keeping her either. “Have fun.”
“You too.”
After Tan Rou left, the pressure around Zhuang Liu dropped. Xiao Mo braced himself and pushed him down the stairs. Fortunately, the resort had an elevator.
“Miss Tan Rou’s parents don’t look like ordinary employees and housewives.” Xiao Mo voiced his doubts. “People who earn less than 50,000 a month wouldn’t come here for leisure. I don’t think Miss Tan Rou’s father even earns 50,000 a month.”
“The Tao family… The Tao family of the Capital….” Zhuang Liu thought of these two families. “Which family owns this resort?”
Xiao Mo said, “The Tao family from the Capital invested in this resort” He was enlightened.
“Could it be…”
“It’s just an assumption. I think I saw Tan Song and his daughter when I came.”
“The person in charge of the Tao family from the Capital is here today.”
Xiao Mo continued, “The Tao family from the Capital started to get in touch with the Tan family when they broke off the engagement with you.”
They were rivals and partners in business, and their whereabouts were very important. As Xiao Mo’s personal assistant, he needed to know the whereabouts of their opponents and partners and report them to Zhuang Liu.
“Why did Tan Song especially bring Tan Jing here?” Xiao Mo didn’t understand.
“Could it be that Tan Song wants to groom Tan Jing into the heir of the Tan family? She’s of average and wouldn’t make a good businessman.”
“After breaking off the engagement with me, the Tao family from the capital came looking for them. No matter how you think about it, there’s something fishy about it.”
Zhuang Liu laughed. “Now that Tan Song brought Tan Jing out alone, it must be the request of the Tao family from the Capital.”
Xiao Mo’s brain worked a little faster this time. “It can’t be that Tan Jing wants to marry someone from that Tao family, right?”
“That’s not impossible.” Zhuang Liu said coldly.
“Ah?” Xiao Mo felt that his brain was not working properly again.
“Why would the Tao family from the Capital take a fancy to the tiny Tan family? Plus, does Tan Jingeally have the qualifications to join the Tao family? I heard the Tao family is quite strict about getting a wife.”
“What if this is just a trap? How would you deal with the Tan family if you want to mess with them?” Zhuang Liu asked Xiao Mo.
“Make things difficult for them. Cut off their business and let them suffer without end to it.” Xiao Mo gave a simple answer.
“If it were me, I’d hold them up high first, then throw them down ruthlessly into a bottomless pit. They will never be able to relive their glory ever again.”
Xiao Mo was a little scared. As expected of the Third Young Master, Xiao Mo was too simple-minded.
Find out what Tan Song said to the people he met.” Zhuang Liu instructed.
“I’ll look it up now.” Xiao Mo went out first.
Zhuang Liu was bored staying in his room alone. He had come after Tan Rou. Now that Tan Rou was not around, he had no interest in staying alone in his room. He controlled his wheelchair to go out and look for Tan Rou.
Not long after, he found Tan Rou’s family on an open grassland. There weren’t many people at the resort now, so only their family was there. They had already prepared everything and started a picnic.
