Tan Rou didn’t respond to Xue Lin. She wasn’t surprised by what Xue Lin said. How could a selfish person like Xue Lin admit to her crime?
Xue Lin said when Tan Rou ignored her. “Tan Rou, it’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s talk outside.”
Tan Rou thought for a while and decided to follow Xue Lin outside. She told Zhuang Liu, “Alt Liu, wait here for me. Help me ask some questions.”
Zhuang Liu understood what Tan Rou meant and nodded.
Tan Rou smiled. “She’s already like this. What else can she do to me?”
Zhuang Liu did not say anything else. Tan Rou followed Xue Lin to the end of the corridor. This place was near the stairs and usually no one would come here.
Xue Lin smiled. “I still have to thank Tan Rou. Thank you for letting me see this person’s true colors.”
Tan Rou kept silent. She didn’t want to talk to Xue Lin.
Xue Lin looked up and said to Tan Rou, “Junior Tan Rou, aren’t you very powerful? Why couldn’t you even deal with an old woman? Look, even if you know that I asked her to burn you, so what? I haven’t been arrested by the police yet!”
“Why is she willing to take the blame for you?” Tan Rou asked curiously.
Xue Lin smiled. “She’s our nanny. She’s not young anymore. If she leaves our house, where can she find a high-paying and easy job? Plus, my parents have given her a lot of money these past few years. If she doesn’t listen to me, our Lin family will make it impossible for her to survive in the Capital.”
Tan Rou thought Xue Lin was too much, but she didn’t sympathize with Aunt June. After all, Xue Lin was just talking, and Aunt June really wanted to burn her.
“Aren’t you afraid that she’ll rat you out?” Tan Rou asked again.
“I’m not afraid! I know what she’s thinking,” Xue Lin replied with a smile. “She doesn’t have any children, so she has always treated me as her daughter. How could a mother who loves her child let her daughter go to jail?”
“You’re a cold-blooded person.” Tan Rou shook her head.
Xue Lin didn’t mind. “She’s the one who assumed things. Don’t think that just because she treats me better, I’ll treat her like my mother. In my eyes, she’s just a lowly servant. She doesn’t deserve to be related to me.”
Tan Rou thought of the maids of rich families in ancient times. They were almost like Aunt June. However, those young masters and young ladies in ancient times were very respectful to wet nurses. From the looks of it, Aunt June was a little pitiful.
“Xue Lin, no wonder your face couldn’t be cured. Your heart is too evil. The heavens can’t stand it anymore. That’s why they won’t let you return to normal,” Tan Rou said sarcastically.
Xue Lin’s fingers gripped the railing of the wheelchair tightly. “You still dare to say that? If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have ended up like this!” she shouted. After saying that, she started coughing violently because of her damaged throat.
Tan Rou didn’t want to see Xue Lin anymore. When she saw Xue Lin the second time, she sympathized with her. However, Xue Lin kept finding trouble with her, which made her hate Xue Lin to the extreme. Although Xue Lin escaped this time, it didn’t matter. There was still a long time. She had ways to make Xue Lin confess.
Xue Lin’s new nanny came over without saying a word after they finished talking. She pushed Xue Lin away, not caring that Xue Lin was still coughing.
Tan Rou returned to the ward. The police had left and the doctor had gone to another ward, so there were only the three of them left in the ward.
Zhuang Liu sat by the window and looked at his phone. He was probably dealing with work. “Is it worth it for you to protect her like this?” Tan Rou walked in and asked Aunt June directly.
Aunt June slowly opened her eyes. “That child is already pitiful enough. I can’t let anyone hurt her anymore.”
“But she doesn’t care about you at all.” Tan Rou took out her phone and played the conversation she had with Xue Lin to Aunt June/
After Aunt June heard this, she was stunned for a long time and did not react. Just when Tan Rou thought that she would not speak again, Aunt June suddenly spoke up. “So I’m just a lowly servant? How sad!”
“Wake up! That person isn’t worth protecting at all. Ah Liu, let’s go,” Tan Rou said before turning to Zhuang Liu.
