Chapter 288 Tan Jing’s Explanation
Tan Jing did not want to come here to embarrass herself, but she had no choice but to come. Chen Yi, that idiot, could not hide anything. She even made a scene here and embarrassed herself on the internet.
Tan Jing was eating well at home when Li Wen suddenly showed her a live broadcast video. Li Wen asked her with a smile, “Isn’t this your mother?” When Tan Jing saw the video and heard what Chen Yi said, she felt her head ache.
She hadn’t even finished her meal, so she threw down her bowl and chopsticks and asked the chauffeur to send her over. There was a traffic jam nearby, so she ran over on such a hot day.
If she had known that Chen Yi would make such a scene, Tan Jing would not have let her come out alone.
“Aunty Shen, I’m really sorry.” Tan Jing supported Chen Yi and bowed her head to apologize to Shen Jing.
“Please forgive my mother. She had been having trouble sleeping because of the incident on the Internet and was not in a good mood. The doctor had prescribed her medicine and told her to take it on time every day. She had forgotten to take it before she went out today, so she lost control. Please don’t hold it against her on account that she’s a patient.”
It had to be said that Tan Jing was very smart. With just a few words, she pushed Chen Yi’s mad behavior to how she was actually on the brink of a meltdown. Moreover, it was a mental condition that was hard to cure. With that said, no one around would have the heart to actually fight with her.
“I…” Chen Yi wanted to defend herself, but Tan Jing stopped her. Tan Jing wouldn’t let her cause any more trouble.”
“I would also like to clarify what happened online earlier. Supposedly, as a child, I shouldn’t be the one to say this. However, my parents didn’t want to do so in order to protect their reputation which is why I will be doing so here.”
Tan Jing looked for the live broadcast camera and said to it, “There are rumors on the Internet that my father regretted donating money. In fact, that’s not the case. He just meant that he should have donated the money himself. He didn’t want it to be donated to charity through someone else. He was a little anxious at the time and didn’t make it clear.”
“Also, about the huge sum of money, Tan Rou did not take them from our house. It was just that coincidentally our family has just lost the same sum of money recently. However, we have found out that it was our nanny who secretly took it. She picked up my dad’s card and accidentally heard us say the password.”
Tan Jing continued, “We just got the money back, but my mother doesn’t know about it yet and I came here to tell my mother about this. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly over the phone, so I came here personally.”
Tan Jing thought for a long time before coming up with a perfect explanation.
After talking about the money, it was time to talk about Tan Rou.
Tan Jing looked at Tan Rou apologetically. “Rourou, I’m really sorry. If my mother really did something wrong in the past, I hope you can forgive her. She’s not in a good state of mind now and shouldn’t be so emotional right now.”
“So everything should be forgotten because of your apology?” Besides, isn’t this too much of a coincidence?” Tan Rou sneered. “Did your family really lose the money?”
Tan Jing’s expression froze. She smiled apologetically and said, “It’s just a coincidence. Our family just lost five million, and you donated another five million to charity. Five million isn’t a small sum, and the Tao family wouldn’t have the capability to afford it. We just misunderstood you.”
Before everyone could say anything, Tan Jing hurriedly asked Chen Yi to apologize to them. “Mom, we misunderstood them. Hurry up and apologize to Auntie Shen and the others.” She wanted to leave with Chen Yi as soon as possible. There was already a lot of trouble. If this continued, the Tan family’s reputation would be completely ruined.
But, how could Chen Yi be willing to apologize? She wished she could beat up the people in front of her. How could she apologize to them?
Tan Jing suppressed the anger in her heart and whispered a few words into Chen Yi’s ear. Chen Yi’s expression changed slightly when she heard them. Then, she apologized to them unwillingly. “I’m sorry. I lost my composure today. I apologize to all of you.” After saying that, she glared at Tan Rou.
Shen Jing looked at Tan Jing, the girl who was supposed to marry her son. This young girl was not a good person, but she was smart and ruthless. In order to excuse her mother, she actually said that her mother was a lunatic who did not take medicine. She was really amazing.
No one should hit those with a smiling face. Tan Jing had already apologized, so Shen Jing did not need to argue with them. She was not an uneducated woman like Chen Yi. She knew when to express her attitude.
Seeing that she didn’t react, Tan Jing lowered her attitude and apologized again. “Auntie Shen, I’m really sorry. Please forgive my mother. This meal is on me.” Shen Jing was an elder. As long as she nodded, the other two would not say anything. Therefore, Tan Jing only chose to apologize to her.
Shen Jing smiled. “Well, It’s your treat anyway.”
