Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There were people coming to clean up Yuanxi Manor every day, but the owner of the manor, Tan Rou, didn’t live here. Therefore, Tao Yue was bold enough to bring Meng Xiao and the others over to play. She told them that Yuanxi Manor was a gift from Grandpa Tao and that she owned such a big manor alone.
This made Meng Xiao and the others very envious, especially when they saw the decorations in the small building. They all praised Tao Yue and said that she was the real eldest daughter of the Tao family.
Tao Yue listened to them and lost herself. She really treated this place as her own, so she let Meng Xiao and the others wander around and take whatever they saw. There was no need to be polite with her. Meng Xiao and the others really ran upstairs to get their things.
However, Tan Rou came in and caught Tao Yue red-handed.
“Tao Yue, is this your new trick?” Tan Rou asked as she looked around.
Tao Yue’s face changed. “Meng Xiao,” she urged. “Put the things down!”
Meng Xiao refused to put it down. She didn’t want to return such precious things. “Yue Yue, didn’t you say that we can take whatever we like? Why are you asking us to put down the things now?”
“Did Tao Yue ask you to take these things?” Tan Rou asked the other two girls.
The other two girls weren’t familiar with Tan Rou. They only knew that she The other two girls weren’t familiar with Tan Rou. They only knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Tao family. They didn’t have any conflicts with Tan Rou, so they said very kindly, “Tao Yue did say that we can choose whatever we want. As long as we like them, we can bring it home.”
“You said that?” Tan Rou questioned Tao Yue.
Tao Yue explained, “It’s a misunderstanding. I just told them look at it, 1 didn’t let them take anything.”
Meng Xiao shouted, “Yue Yue, why are you talking to her so kindly? This isn’t her manor, and the things aren’t hers. What right does she have to care about us?”
One of the girls felt that the atmosphere was not right. She came out to smooth things over and said, “I’m sorry. We’ll put the things down now. You shouldn’t be mad at your sister because of us.”
Meng Xiao grabbed Tao Yue’s arm and continued, “Yue Yue, hurry up and chase her out. We still have a lot of things to do. I saw a big balcony upstairs just now. There are many flowers inside. Let’s go there and take photos!”
Tao Yue pulled her arm out from Meng Xiao’s arm. “Meng Xiao, 1 told you not to touch anything here. Each of these jewels costs nearly a million yuan. It’ll be bad if you break them.””
“They’re that expensive?!” Meng Xiao said in surprise.
“Then can you give me more jewelry? Anyway, you have so many in your closet.”
“I didn’t ask you to take it!” Tao Yue saw that Tan Ron’s expression was getting uglier and uglier, so she quickly stopped Meng Xiao from continuing. “It was you who touched other people’s things!”
The other two girls were quick to catch on as well. Hearing Tao Yue’s words, she had already guessed that this wasn’t Tao Yue’s room. However, she wasn’t easy to deal with. If Tao Yue wanted to push all the responsibility to them, then she wouldn’t let Tao Yue have her way.
“Tao Yue, you were the one who asked us to take it. If you didn’t take us there, how could we have found these things? Also, your elevator is so hidden. If Tao Yue didn’t take us to the elevator, how could we have found this hidden elevator?””
“You guys can find your own.” Tao Yue said stubbornly. As long as she didn’t admit it, Tan Rou couldn’t do anything to her. There were no surveillance cameras and no recordings anyway. Tan Rou wouldn’t know what she said.
“You brought these people in, right?” Tan Rou didn’t want to settle the score with Meng Xiao and the others for taking things. She just wanted to find out who brought them in.
“Yes… It’s me.” Tao Yue’s voice was very soft. “1 really just wanted to bring them in to take a look. I didn’t tell them to take anything from here.”
Tan Rou smiled. “1 thought you said that you came in to clean up this place?”
Tao Yue’s expression froze. She was so focused on getting rid of her responsibility that she forgot the excuse she had made at the beginning.
“Second Cousin, aren’t you embarrassed that you were caught stealing?” Tan Rou pointed at her own face and said, “I feel embarrassed for you. If I were you, 1 would find a hole in the ground and hide in it now so that 1 wouldn’t continue embarrassing myself in front of outsiders..”
