“Xiao Rou should know how she came to our Tao family, right?” Grandma Tao asked.

Tan Rou knew that Tao Yue was adopted, but she didn’t know how Tao Yue came to the Tao family.

“I heard from Dad that Tao Yue was adopted by Second Uncle and Second Aunt from the orphanage.” Tan Rou answered honestly.

“That’s true,” Grandma Tao said. “After your second aunt gave birth to your cousin, her health had been poor and she could not give birth again. However, she really wanted a daughter, so in the end, your second uncle and your second aunt went to the orphanage to adopt a child. Tao Yue was less than one year old when she was adopted. She has been with us for almost seventeen years now.”

“Grandma doesn’t seem to like Second Cousin very much.” Tan Rou said.

Grandma Tao frowned. “I really don’t like her very much. First of all, she’s not our child. I don’t like her. Secondly, she’s not a simple child.”

Tan Rou said, “Second Cousin is indeed a little scheming. On the first day we met, she took the initiative to ask me if 1 knew her. I guessed her identity at that time, but I didn’t say it. After that, she didn’t reveal her identity either.”

“She was testing you,” Grandma Tao said.

“I know.” Tan Rou gave Grandma Tao a gentle massage. “I thought she was just teasing me. I didn’t expect her to say that she didn’t know me in front of my mother and brother. We’ve already talked and seen the photos, but she still said that she didn’t know me. It’s really funny.”

“Hmmmm…” Grandma Tao sighed and said, “She has been pampered since she was young. Plus, she was the only daughter at home. She started getting more and more presumptuous. 1 remember one time when she was angry, she insisted that the servants at home lie on the ground and ride for her. Ah Zhou lectured her a few times, and she said that Ah Zhou was just a servant and had no right to control her, the eldest miss. It made Ah Zhou angry for a long time.”

“I can tell that Aunt Zhou really doesn’t like Tao Yue.” Tan Rou said.

“If it wasn’t for your second aunt’s insistence on keeping this girl, I would have sent her back to the orphanage long ago.” Grandma Tao said unhappily, “Tao Yue, this girl, her thoughts are too deep. She’s not a child of our Tao family. Even after teaching her for so many years, she still can’t become a child of our Tao family.”

Grandma Tao thought of Tan Jing. Tan Jing had also lived in the Tao family for 17 years, but no matter how much she educated her, it was useless. Her genes had already determined her character.

Tan Rou could tell that Grandma Tao really didn’t like Tao Yue. “Grandma doesn’t have to be angry because of her. No matter what, you’re her grandmother. She wouldn’t dare to disobey you.”

“I know she won’t disobey me, but I’m afraid she’ll affect you.” Grandma Tao’s heart ached for Tan Rou. “You’ve suffered so much and have just returned to our side. If you were hurt by her, how much would my heart ache for you?”

Tan Rou was very happy to hear Grandma Tao say this, but she didn’t want Grandma Tao to worry. “Grandma, Tao Yue can’t hurt me yet. She’s a little smart, but I’m not afraid of her.”

Grandma Tao smiled and said, “1 heard from your father that you know martial arts.”

When Tan Rou heard that, she laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. “I don’t know martial arts. I just learned some skills to strengthen my body.”

As they continued chatting, Grandma Tao’s mouth started to crave for something sweet again. She picked out a fresh lychee and prepared to peel it and eat it.

However, Tan Rou didn’t let her eat. “Grandma, lychees have a very high sugar content. With your current blood pressure and blood fat, it’s not suitable for you to eat lychees.” When Tao Yue brought it over, she wanted to say this. Tao Yue clearly knew that Grandma Tao couldn’t eat anything sweet, but she still sent lychees over. Tan Rou really didn’t know what Tao Yue was planning.

Grandma Tao looked at the crystal clear lychee and bargained, “I’ll only eat one.”

“Then promise me that you’ll only have one to taste them, okay?” Tan Rou compromised.

Grandma Tao immediately ate the lychee. When she wanted to eat a second one, Tan Rou had already taken the basket away. “Grandma, are you going against the doctor’s orders again?”

Grandma Tao’s eyes flickered. “I…”

“Grandma, health is more important. Do you still remember what you promised me?” Tan Rou pretended to be sad. “If Grandma’s illness relapses again after eating too many lychees, wouldn’t all my efforts be wasted?”

Grandma Tao couldn’t bear to hear this. She quickly retracted her hand. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll definitely listen to Doctor Xiaorou.”

Tan Rou smiled. “Once you get better, I’ll cook lychee meat for you.”

Grandma Tao smiled and said, “i’ll wait for that day..”
