Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss Chapter 102 The little thief

102 102 The little thief

After the conversation, Tan Rou walked out of Mr. Tao’s study with her mood fluctuating a little.

Tonight’s discovery caught Tan Rou a little off guard. One of the advantages that she had was that she lived a new life now. She was mentally prepared for how most things would happen in the future. Naturally, she would be able to make certain changes in advance.

However, she had never expected the Tao family to have such a big secret. This was something that Tan Rou had never thought of in both her lifetimes.

Tan Rou frowned slightly. She didn’t know if this discovery was good news or bad news. In fact, ever since she was reborn, Tan Rou had been confident because she could read the script as if she was G.o.d. She was confident that she could deal with the Tan family.

But now, in the Tao family, which she cared about the most, she realised that there was a major change in the script, which made Tan Rou feel a little uneasy.

She could only blame herself for being too shallow in her previous life and might have missed out on such details. What other major changes would be happening to her in this life?

Tan Rou pondered as she walked. In the end, she took a few deep breaths and secretly comforted herself. There was no need to worry unnecessarily. There may be accidents but as long as her heart was with her family, it was enough to deal with the Tan family’s conspiracies.

Tan Rou made up her mind. No matter how powerful Father Tao was, what the Tao family’s hidden ident.i.ty was and whether they could compete with the tan family; as long as she was strong enough, she would be able to protect the Tao family.

As Tan Rou thought about it, she walked towards her room. Then, she heard a rustling sound from the kitchen.

Tan Rou was a little puzzled. Who else would be in the kitchen at this time? Could there be a thief in the house?

Tan Rou softened her footsteps and carefully walked toward the kitchen. Then, she saw a small figure hiding in the kitchen, squatting on the ground and eating snacks in large mouthfuls.

This was none other than Tao Qi.

Just as Father Tao and Tan Rou were talking in the study, Mother Tao knocked on Tao Qi’s room, trying to bring him dinner. Even though Mother Tao was angry at Tao Qi’s impertinent words, she still remembered that he was only ten years old. He was still a child and she felt bad that he didn’t have anything for dinner.

She had planned to bring some food to Tao Qi and reason with him to make him let go of his prejudice against Tan Rou.

However, she didn’t expect Tao Qi to be so stubborn. Not only was he stubborn, he also insisted that he wasn’t hungry. He even went from bad to worse as he argued with Mother Tao again, insisting that Father Tao and Mother Tao were biased. They were so protective of Tan Rou that they completely forgot about Tan Jing in such a short period of time!

This infuriated Mother Tao. She hardened her heart and no longer paid attention to Tao Qi. She picked up the food and left the room, leaving Tao Qi to reflect on himself.

Tao Qi was extremely sad. When had he ever received such treatment before? In the past, whenever he cried, his mother would hug and comfort him. Sister Jingjing would also help him put in a good word, but now, he was suffering on an empty stomach and his mother didn’t even care about him.

He was just telling the truth!

In the room, Tao Qi pounded on his pillow to vent his anger. He mistook the pillow for Tan Rou and punched her multiple times, thinking that this was all Tan Rou’s fault. He wouldn’t admit that she was his biological sister. If she had the ability, she would starve him to death as well!

However, he was merely a child. He was a growing child and after struggling for a long time, Tao Qi’s stomach growled non-stop.

Tao Qi had no choice. He refused to look for his mother. So, he sneaked into the kitchen and found some snacks. He didn’t even dare to turn on the light as he squatted on the ground and started munching on the snacks.

Mother Tao didn’t allow him to bring the snacks back to the bedroom, afraid that he may develop a bad habit of e​​ating in his room. Poor Tao Qi didn’t dare to challenge Mother Tao’s authority at a time like this. He could only munch onto his snacks secretly in the kitchen.

Tan Rou recognized Tao Qi and slowly calmed down.

If she hadn’t seen Tao Qi’s small height and round face clearly, Tan Rou would have thought this figure was a thief and would directly pound on him from behind.

Tan Rou smiled and stood behind Tao Qi. She admired his eating posture for a while, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. Then, she let out a light cough.

Tao Qi heard the noise and fell to the ground in fright. He turned to look at Tan Rou in horror.

Tan Rou glanced at the snacks in Tao Qi’s arms and said with a smile, “I thought there was a thief in the house. I didn’t expect the little thief to be stealing snacks from our kitchen.”

Tao Qi’s face turned red when he saw Tan Rou. He tried to hide the snacks in his hand but it was to no avail. He could only glare at Tan Rou. “Are you trying to scare me to death?! You’re a bad woman!”
