When everyone was surrounding Tan Rou, Tan Jing quietly walked to the microphone on the stage. At this time, Tao Zhen had already left. There was no one beside the microphone, which gave Tan Jing an opportunity.
Tan Rou noticed Tan Jing and wondered what she was up to. She patted Zhuang Liu’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “I’ll go and see what she wants to do.”
Zhuang Liu said, “She definitely won’t be able to do anything big now.”
Tan Rou was a little worried. “It’s better to be safe than sorry. We can’t let her have the chance to cause trouble.”
Hence, Tan Rou returned to the stage and brought everyone to Tan Jing’s side. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Tan Jing probably wouldn’t have the chance to do anything bad.
Tan Jing took the microphone and smiled. Then, she deliberately asked, “Zhuang Liu, do you still want to be with the eldest daughter of the Tao family in this state? I remember you said that you didn’t have long to live. Now that you’ve come to provoke the eldest daughter of the Tao family, do you want her to leave an heir for you so that the children of the Zhuang family can take over the Tao family and the Zhuang family’s business? Or do you want to directly take over the Tao family’s business before you die?”
Anyone with a brain would not say such things in front of such crowd. However, Tan Jing had already said it and so she could not care less. Anyway, she just wanted to mess things up now. It would be best if she could leave Tan Rou with an unforgettable birthday party.
Tan Rou was very angry. She said, “Tan Jing, don’t go crazy here. Otherwise, I’ll get the security guards to chase you out!”
Tan Jing was not afraid at all. “Zhuang Liu, is that what you think?”
If Tan Jing were a man, she would be lying on the ground now. However, she was a girl. Zhuang Liu would never fight a girl.
“Whose ears did you hear that I was about to die?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Tan Jing sneered. “Don’t bother about how I know. Just tell me, are you terminally ill? Also, are you here to curry favor with the eldest daughter of the Tao family and consolidate your position?”
“Does Third Young Master Zhuang still need to consolidate his position?” Someone asked in confusion.
“The Tao family and the Zhuang family are equal in status, right? The marriage between Third Young Master Zhuang and the eldest daughter of the Tao family would only be a strong alliance. How could one party curry favor with the other?”
“I’ve long heard Young Master Zhuang doesn’t have long to live, but look at him. He’s still alive and well, and he’s been receiving treatment.”
After Tan Jing heard this, her expression turned ugly. These people were not on her side? She was telling the truth.
“I’ll have to trouble the eldest daughter of the Tan family to remember.” Zhuang Liu put his hands on his lap and had a scary smile on his face. “You don’t have to worry about whether I’m dying or not, but I think you won’t be able to jump around for long.”
Tan Jing’s expression froze. “What do you mean? Do you want to kill me?”
Zhuang Liu didn’t want to talk to her, so he asked Xiao Mo to speak up for him. Xiao Mo swiped his phone screen a few times before turning to Tan Jing.
“Miss Tan,” he said. “Please take a look at the trending searches on the internet and see whose life is actually coming to an end.”
Tan Jing subconsciously wanted to take out her phone. Her phone was stuffed under her skirt, so it was difficult to get it out.
“My goodness!” A wealthy lady who saw the news first stared at her phone screen in surprise. “The Tan family just announced their bankruptcy!”
Her voice was thunderous, and Tan Jing, who was on stage, heard it. She did not believe that her family would go bankrupt, so she hurriedly took out her phone to see what was happening. However, the dress was a little complicated, and she could not take out her phone momentarily.
“Jingjing, your family is really bankrupt.” Zhao Ru looked incredulous. She handed the phone to Tan Jing.
The first thing that she saw on the screen was ‘The Tan family becomes bankrupt!’
Tan Jing snatched the phone away. She carefully read the news that had only been published for less than ten minutes. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. How could their family go bankrupt? They were fine before this!
“This must be fake news!” Tan Jing was furious. She threw Zhao Ru’s phone four or five meters away. Smartphones were fragile, and they would break once they were thrown on the ground.
Zhao Ru picked up her phone and said angrily, “Are you crazy, Tan Jing? This is my phone! Pay for my phone!”
Tan Rou walked to Zhuang Liu’s side and leaned forward slightly. “Looks like she’s the one who’s about to die next..”
