Tan Ron fixed her posture and put the necklace on her neck. She was wearing sportswear, and the exposed empty neck looked a bit thin. This beautiful necklace just filled the gap.
After two more laps, Tan Rou returned home wearing the necklace. As soon as she entered, Mother Tao asked her where the necklace on her neck came from. “Xiaorou, why did you come home with a necklace after your run?” Mother Tao looked at the necklace carefully and said in admiration, “These main gemstones look beautiful.
Tan Rou hooked out the necklace with her fingers, and said, “It didn’t, but it was given to me by Brother Zhuang just now.”
Mother Tao sighed in admiration, “Xiao Zhuang’s vision is really good, this necklace fits your skin very well.”
The more she looked at Zhuang Liu, the more she liked her, and she felt that Zhuang Liu was definitely a perfect match for her daughter.
Brothers Tao Zhi and Tao Zheng were not happy. They also prepared a gift for Tan Rou, but they planned to give it to her on Tan Ron’s birthday. They didn’t expect Zhuang Liu to give Tan Rou a gift before they did.
“Mom, I won’t come back for lunch.” Tan Rou said.
Mother Tao is used to her daughter not coming back for lunch, “It’s okay, i understand.”
“Xiao Rou, where are you going at noon? Second brother will take you there.” Tao Zheng said.
Tan Rou replied, “I’m going out to eat, you don’t have to see me off. They will be a car to pick me up.”
As soon as he heard that Tan Rou had a car to pick her up, Tao Zheng’s face turned sour. Tan Rou didn’t have many friends. The only one who had a car and could pick her up at any time was that annoying neighbor next to their house.
As soon as he finished eating, Zhuang Liu came over. With a cane in his hand, he rang the doorbell of Tao’s house, “Xiao Rou, I’m here to pick you up.”
Tan Rou grabbed her school bag and bid farewell to her mother, “Mom, I’m leaving for school and won’t be home for lunch!”
Mother Tao smiled and waved to her, “Be careful on the road.”
Tao Zheng also grabbed the car keys and went out, but was caught by Tao’s mother, “Why are you going?”
Tao Zheng said anxiously, “I’m taking my sister to school.”
Mother Tao patted him lightly, and said angrily, “Didn’t you see that someone else that’s taking her there.”
Tao Zheng said worriedly: “Mom, that kid is not a good person at first glance!
You must not be deceived by him! Our Xiao Rou is so smart and cute, you can’t be deceived by the kid!”
Mother Tao glared at him, “Xiao Zhuang is a nice kid, 1 know his mother, so I know he’s not a bad boy.”
After being disturbed by Mother Tao, Tan Rou had already gone far away with Zhuang Liu. Even if Tao Zheng went after her now, he would not be able to catch up.
Zhuang Liu saw the necklace on Tan Rou’s neck at a glance, and he asked expectantly, “Xiao Rou, do you like the necklace?”
Tan Rou touched the necklace and said happily, “1 like the necklace very much. Thank you, third brother!”
Xiao Mo heard them talking about the necklace, so he looked in the rearview mirror. He felt that the necklace on Tan Rou’s neck looked familiar. Isn’t that the finished product that the Third Young Master scrapped seventeen times?
He was still wondering why the Third Young Master was picking gemstones to make a necklace. It turned out to be for Miss Tan Rou and it does look undeniably beautiful on her.
Zhuang Liu has a tablet at hand. He usually does not work when he is around Tan Rou, but he brought the tablet here today.
“Xiao Rou, take a look at this.” Zhuang Liu clicked on a video, “1 saw it this morning, 1 guess you haven’t had time to watch it yet.”
Tan Rou leaned over to watch, and saw a middle-aged woman in the middle of the video. Her face was sallow, and her tone was very heavy.
“I used to be a nurse in the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, and now I want to bury a thing that has been buried in my heart for almost eighteen years. I have to tell the public about this. I know this secret will cause great fluctuations, but if 1 don’t tell it, i won’t feel at ease in my life.”
Tan Rou had a hunch that what she said was related to herself, otherwise
Zhuang Liu wouldn’t have shown it to her.
Sure enough, the nurse’s next sentence confirmed this point.
“Eighteen years ago, a man surnamed Tao in this city gave me a sum of money to exchange his newborn daughter with the one from the Tan family. He said his family was poor, and the family already had two other children. He didn’t want his daughter to suffer and so he asked me to exchange the two baby girls who were born on the same day..”
