Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Although Tao Zhi knew that Zhuang Liu was outstanding, he still didn’t like him. After all, he had to hand his sister to another strange man. As an older brother, he couldn’t feel at ease. Furthermore, Tan Rou had just turned eighteen. Tao Zhi was even more worried about her being with Zhuang Liu. He could not help but wonder what Zhuang Liu would do to his sister.
“Is this Xiao Ron’s elder brother?” Shen Jing came back from outside. She had just gone out to give them space but did not expect Tao Zhi to take advantage of the loophole and come to their house. “Oh my! You’re so handsome!” Her face was full of smiles as if she had known Tao Zhi for a long time.
“Xiao Liu often talks about her brothers.” Shen Jing walked in front of them and couldn’t hide her smile. “He said that you and your brothers are very outstanding people. Not only are you handsome, but you’re also kind. You also love your sister very much and dote on her.”
When Tao Zhi heard Shen Jing’s words, he was pleased. He said proudly, “No one loves Rourou more than we do.”
Shen Jing was very cooperative and said, “That’s right. No one in this world is closer to Rourou than you. You’re family. Your relationship can’t be severed.”
Shen Jing’s praise overjoyed Tao Zhi. “Auntie is right. We are the closest people to Rourou.”
Zhuang Liu was very unhappy after hearing this. In his heart, he should be the only person closest to Tan Rou.
Shen Jing gave Zhuang Liu a look, telling him not to say anything more. What they needed to do now was to calm down Tan Ron’s family. Only when Tan Ron’s family agreed could he and Tan Rou be together peacefully.
Zhuang Liu received Shen Jing’s gaze and asked, “Brother Tao, do you want to look around?”
Tao Zhi had this intention in mind too. If his sister really wanted to be with Zhuang Liu, they had to help her watch out for the Zhuang family. The Zhuang family had a lot of things to do in the Capital, but Tan Rou was still in school and would not go to the Capital for the time being, so he had to be aware of the environment there.
While Zhuang Liu was taking Tao Zhi on tour, Shen Jing pulled Tan Rou around the house and told her which were specially arranged by Zhuang Liu and which were personally picked by Zhuang Liu.
“Zhuang Liu bought this vase a few days ago. He said you might like it.” Shen Jing pointed at a pink vase. “The flowers inside were planted today. Take a look and see if you like them.”
Tan Rou looked at the blue-purple forget-me-not flowers in the vase, and a faint smile appeared. “This bouquet matches my dress today.”
As they strolled around, Mother Tao and Tao Zheng arrived.
Shen Jing welcomed her warmly. She said to Mrs. Tao, “Look at how harmonious our children are getting along!”
Mrs. Tao smiled and said, “We just thought our child already has someone they liked, and it would be a pity. Who would have thought that the person your daughter fell for my son and my son is head over heels for her too? 1.” “Exactly!” Shen Jing patted Mrs. Tao’s hand and said affectionately, “We’ll be in-laws in the future!”
Tan Rou held her forehead. What was her mother talking about? When did she say as if she was going to marry Zhuang Liu today?
“Mom, don’t talk nonsense.” Tan Rou felt that it was necessary to remind her mother. “Third Brother and I are like siblings. Besides, I’m still in school. I don’t have to think so much now.”
“We’ll keep an eye on him first. It’s not too late to get married in the future. Besides, it’s hard to find someone as outstanding as Xiao Zhuang.”
Shen Jing came over to promote her son.” My Xiao Liu has always skipped grades. He won the gold medal in the national physics competition, which is the one that Rourou will participate in. When Xiao Rou gets first place, our family will have two gold medals.”
Mrs. Tao was grinning from ear to ear. “My Rourou will definitely get first place.”
Tao Zheng had a headache. Why did his mother like Zhuang Liu so much? Although he was handsome, had good grades, and had some achievements, he was not worthy of their sister. Their Rourou was the most outstanding, and no one was worthy of her.
When Zhuang Liu saw Mrs. Tao, he immediately came over to make his presence known. “Good afternoon, Auntie. The qipao that Auntie is wearing today is beautiful. It complements your skin and figure.”
“Little Zhuang, you’re so sweet.” Tao Yan’s mother touched her face and smiled. Then, she blamed her son instead. “I’ve been wearing it for a day, and you guys haven’t even praised me.”
The Tao brothers looked at each other and had the same thought. Zhuang Liu completely coaxed their mother..
