246 246 My Good Daughter
Tan Jing and Chen Yi took the car back with expressions as if they had just eaten a fly. They had thought that the plan was foolproof, but they did not expect it to end before it even started.
They had spent so much money to look for Dr. Peter, but all he did was meet Old Master Lu. She had wasted so much money and was even criticized by Dr. Peter. Although she did not understand what he was saying, it was definitely not something good.
âWhat kind of attitude is that from the Lu family? Didnât you say that you wanted to treat Old Master Lu?â Chen Yi asked Tan Jing with a livid face. âWhy did they chase us out? Jingjing, what did you tell Lu Qing?â
Tan Jing bit her lips and was furious. When she heard Chen Yi blaming her, she became even angrier. âMom, how can you blame me? Iâve already discussed it with Lu Qing. Moreover, Old Master Lu was indeed terminally ill at that time. I donât know how he recovered so quickly.â
âAll of our money has gone to waste!â Chen Yi was annoyed.
Tan Jing looked confused. âMom, donât you think itâs strange? How did Old Master Lu suddenly recover? Could it be that someone came to treat him before us?â
âYou mean someone beat us to it and treated Old Master Lu before we did?â Chen Yi thought for a moment.
Tan Jing nodded. âThat must be the case. When we were in the garden just now, didnât we smell the strong medicinal fragrance on Old Master Luâs body? Western medicine usually smells like disinfectant. Only Chinese medicine has the bitter taste of medicinal herbs. Someone must have hired a traditional doctor to treat Old Master Lu in advance.â
Chen Yi felt that it was unlikely. âDoesnât Old Master Lu always dislike traditional medicine?â
Tan Jing wasnât too sure about this either. She said, âWe have to investigate secretly and see who treated Old Master Lu. Old Master Lu hasnât fully recovered yet. We just have to find this person and make him work for us.â
Chen Yi felt that her daughterâs idea was a good one. As expected of her biological daughter. She was so smart. She was many times smarter than that little slut Tan Rou.
âMy daughter is so smart, just like me.â Chen Yi said with a smile.
Tan Jing smiled and hugged her. âThank you for your compliment, Mom. â
That day, Mrs. Tao bought a lot of groceries. There were many bags and bags, and she couldnât even carry them all at once. So, he took a break after walking for a while.
When the neighbor saw this, she smiled and said, âThat biological daughter is different ever since she came back. Iâve been seeing that you buy so many bags of vegetables and you even have so many parcels delivered to your house. Those must have cost a lot, right?â
Mrs. Tao frowned, but she spoke politely to her, âIt doesnât matter if itâs costly or not. The main thing is that there are some of us at home. We canât let our children eat poorly. As for these parcels, they belonged to our children.â
It was indeed something that belonged to the three children. It was normal for young people to buy things. She believed that the three children would not buy things recklessly. Moreover, their family was not short of money, so they could afford it.
âIs your Old Taoâs salary enough for such expenses? Your daughter was raised in a wealthy family after all. Sheâs a spendthrift when it comes to spending money. She really doesnât know how to be considerate of her own parents.â The neighbour continued.
The auntie had already tacitly agreed that Tan Rou was the one who bought them. After all, before Tan Rou arrived, there werenât so many deliveries done.
âMy daughter earned her own money.â Mrs. Tao said coldly. âShe can spend it however she wants. She even bought us gifts.â
The auntie did not believe her. âReally? How could a high school student earn so much money? Donât tell me that sheâs been asking it from her adoptive parents?!â
Mrs. Tao was completely unhappy. âNo, I know what kind of person my daughter is.â
âEven if she didnât ask his adoptive parents for it, a child of her age should be studying hard in school.â The auntieâs last sentence was the main point. âShe should learn from my Xiao Huan. Sheâs in the top 50 in the grade and top 10 in the class.â
âWell, then your Xiao Huan must be excellent.â Mother Tao answered without batting an eyelid.
The auntieâs eyebrows were almost raised to the sky. âOf course! My Xiao Huan said that sheâll earn a lot of money in the future and bring me around the world!â
âMy Rourou can earn a lot of money now and bring me around to enjoy life.â Mrs. Tao picked up her things and said, âHowever, my girlâs grades canât be compared to yours. Sheâs probably the top student in her class and grade.â She took her things and left. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The auntie froze on the spot. âHuh? Didnât you say that your daughter was last?â She smiled. âPerhaps sheâs the last in her class?!â
Mrs. Tao turned around and said, âYou can ask your daughter about it. Arenât they classmates?â
