Chapter 286 286 Fool
“Stop pretending. You took the money from the Tan family. That’s our money. You donated it and gained a good reputation. Have you ever thought about how much trouble you’ll bring to the Tan family?” Chen Yi did not believe it at all. What kind of compensation could be worth five million?
“Mrs. Tan, I’m not happy to hear that.” Shen Jing spoke instead.
“It’s clearly the Tan family who didn’t cherish the good name that Tan Rou created for you! How can you blame it on the girl? 5 million isn’t a big sum for the Tan family. Moreover, not everyone can buy a good name with just 5 million! Xiao Rou is helping the Tan family. Look at the comments online. The quality of your clothes is poor which is the real reason why your reputation has been ruined. It has nothing to do with the donation!”
Chen Yi did not listen to her. She only cared about the 5 million that Tan Rou donated off. “If it wasn’t because she went on her own to make those donations, why would anyone make such ill comments on our clothes?!”
“The only reason why there are ill-comments is because there’s a problem with the quality of your products. If there’s no problem with your clothes at all, why would there be so many complaints about returning them online?” Shen Jing asked.
Tan Rou sobbed. “I wanted to give this money directly to the Tan family, but I thought of how the Tan family has a big business. They won’t be short of this sum of money. Instead, those poor old people and children really need this money. The Tan family doesn’t lack money and no one would reject doing something so nice. So, I just made the decision myself to donate the money in President Tan’s name.”
They were some of the guests around who knew Chen Yi and started advising her. “Mrs. Tan, the child only did it out of good intentions. You raised her for 17 years and she repaid you with a kind deed. Isn’t this a good thing? That’s enough for now. Don’t make things difficult for the girl anymore.”
“Uncle, please don’t misunderstand.” Tan Rou’s eyes were red as she said, “The Tan family didn’t raise me for 17 years. They had already sent me abroad when I turned 4. After that, no one cared about me. I was only brought home 2 years ago.”
The person who spoke was puzzled. “No way! Back then when you went overseas, we were told that the Tan family sent you there to focus on your studies.”
“The truth is that Mrs. Tan didn’t like me which is why she sent me abroad.” Tan Rou said. She raised her head and asked Chen Yi, “I’ve always wanted to know why you don’t like me. You’ve never liked me since I was a young girl. When I was overseas, you didn’t even contact me even once. Did you know that I wasn’t your daughter back then?”
This was a terrifying thought.
If Chen Yi had known that Tan Rou was not her daughter long ago and still pretended not to know about it, then what was her motive?
“You little b*tch, why should I like you?” Chen Yi blurted out, “Only an outstanding girl like Jingjing should be my daughter. An idiot like you doesn’t deserve to be my daughter! ”
“So that’s why you fed me sleeping pills when I was young?” Tan Rou’s tone was cold. “You’re really ruthless to be feeding sleeping pills to a newborn baby!”
Hearing Tan Rou’s words, the rest of them gasped.
“What? Is there really a mother who would feed sleeping pills to a baby?”
“So did Mrs. Tan know that this was not her daughter? If she knew, she would be too vicious. If she didn’t, she knowingly fed sleeping pills to her own daughter. She is a horrible woman!”
“Come to think of it…. All of the bad things that we heard about Tan Rou actually came from Chen Yi. Could it be that she made them up?”
“No wonder Tan Rou likes to hang out with hooligans even though her grades are not good. She must have been hit in the head by sleeping pills when she was young.”
“It’s also possible that Chen Yi forced her. Chen Yi doesn’t like Tan Rou which is whyTan Rou doesn’t have a sense of presence in the Tan family. So, she could only hang out with those hooligans.”
“This is terrifying. Chen Yi is a horrible woman.”
“What nonsense are you spouting? You were still so young at that time. How could you remember all this?” Chen Yi said in a panic.
Tan Rou took advantage of the loophole. “So you admit that you fed me sleeping pills?”
“I didn’t! I didn’t give them to you! It was the nanny who did it.” Chen Yi said stubbornly.
Tan Rou really admired Chen Yi. She never used her brains as she spoke. Her words instantly confirmed that she was aware that Tan Rou had been fed sleeping pills. How could there be such a stupid person?
