Chapter 96 - 96 096 I want to find sister Jingjing
Tan Rou had been observing Tao Qi the whole time. Seeing him run away with a sad and angry face, she laughed secretly in her heart.
The brat didn’t think that Tao Zheng would change his opinion of her. Tao Qi was so angry that his entire face turned red. How cute!
Tao Qi’s face was droopy as he ran back to the dining table and sat down.
Mr. And Mrs. Tao assumed the same as Tao Zheng, thinking that Tao Qi was throwing a childish tantrum and was jealous of Tan Rou because he didn’t receive the full attention of his family when he returned home. They even shook their heads and laughed at how childish he was.
Mother Tao held the dish and teased Tao Qi on purpose, “Oh my! The red braised pork looks good today. Who would like to have them tonight? Where should I put it?”
Tao Qi’s eyes lit up but he still looked at Tan Rou awkwardly before saying, “Me!!! I want it!!”
Mother Tao placed the red braised meat in front of Tao Qi lovingly and beckoned for Tan Rou and Tao Zheng to quickly take their seats. She also carefully placed the two children’s favourite dishes in front of them.
Father Tao looked at his children, who were well-behaved, sensible, lively, and cheerful, and his wife, who was virtuous. He suddenly felt emotional. Days like these were comforting and comfortable. If his other son came home as well, it would be a real family reunion. It would be worth it even if you gave him a mountain of gold or silver!
Before father Tao could fully enjoy this happiness, Tao Qi’s big eyes rolled and he had an idea.
Tao Qi got up, ran to the coffee table, picked up the phone and was ready to make a call.
“What’s wrong, Xiao Qi?” Tao Zheng asked with concern. “You don’t even want the red braised meat? What’s the matter?”
Tao Qi turned around with a smile. “I’m going to ask my sister to come over. She loves red braised pork just as much as me. I haven’t seen my sister in a long time. I miss her!”
As soon as these words came out, Tan Rou raised her eyebrows in a calm and unruffled manner but she didn’t say anything. As for the rest of them, their faces changed and they immediately had a serious look on their faces.
“Your sister is sitting right here. There’s no other sister. Come back and eat!” Mr. Tao chuckled.
Mrs. Tao frowned as well and tried to persuade him, “Xiaoqi, what did I tell you just now? Stop messing around. Come back and let’s eat!”
Hearing his parents say this, Tao Qi felt unhappy. Ever since he returned home, his parents and brother’s attitude had been so strange. They didn’t mention Tan Jing at all and were so good to that bad woman Tan Rou!
Tao Qi couldn’t hold back the dissatisfaction in his heart any longer and shouted, “I only have one Sister and that’s Tan Jing! I don’t know the one sitting at the table and I can’t eat looking at her!”
Mr. And Mrs. Tao were both angry and helpless. They quickly looked at Tan Rou uneasily, afraid that Tan Rou would be hurt by these words.
Tan Rou shook her head and used her expression to tell them that she was fine with it.
Although Tao Zheng usually doted on his little brother, he still became angry when he heard this. He immediately brought out his authority as an older brother and rebuked loudly, “Tao Qi, there are some things you don’t know yet, so stop it with the nonsense! Tan Jing doesn’t deserve to be in our house anymore. Quickly come over and apologize to my sister. I’ll talk to you about the other things later!”
Mrs. Tao’s face turned serious as well. She no longer tried to guide Tao Qi patiently like before. Instead, she spoke firmly to her youngest son, ” Xiao Qi, come and apologize to your sister. No matter what, you shouldn’t have said that. She’s your sister, not your enemy!”
Even though Father Tao didn’t say anything, he stared at Tao Qi sternly. He undoubtedly agreed with Mother Tao’s point of view.
eeing that his family was so strict with him, Tao Qi was both scared and aggrieved. He started wailing. “Mom, didn’t you dote on Sister Jingjing in the past? Why is everything like this now?! It’s all her fault! She’s the reason why Sister Jingjing couldn’t return to our house and now you’re scolding me for her?! I hate her!!! She’s my enemy!”
Tao Qi couldn’t stand his family anymore. He cried and ran back to his room, slamming the door.
He didn’t know why everything in the house had changed the moment he returned!
Mrs. Tao wanted to run up to comfort him but when she thought about what Tao Qi had just said, she held herself back.
This child was too willful. It was all their fault for spoiling Tao Qi. Although it was a good thing for him to be independent at such a young age, it also made him develop a lot of bad habits. He always has thoughts of his own.
Father Tao sighed heavily and said with a serious expression, “Don’t worry about him. If he doesn’t eat, let him starve. It’s his punishment for saying the wrong thing.”
