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.
“What kind of attitude is that from the Lu family? Didn’t you say that you wanted to treat Old Master Lu?” Chen Yi asked Tan Jing with a livid face. “Why did they chase us out? Jingjing, what did you tell Lu Qing?”
Tan Jing bit her lips and was furious. When she heard Chen Yi blaming her, she became even angrier. “Mom, how can you blame me? I’ve already discussed it with Lu Qing. Moreover, Old Master Lu was indeed terminally ill at that time. I don’t know how he recovered so quickly.”
“All of our money has gone to waste!” Chen Yi was annoyed.
Tan Jing looked confused. “Mom, don’t you think it’s strange? How did Old Master Lu suddenly recover? Could it be that someone came to treat him before us?”
“You mean someone beat us to it and treated Old Master Lu before we did?” Chen Yi thought for a moment.
Tan Jing nodded. “That must be the case. When we were in the garden just now, didn’t we smell the strong medicinal fragrance on Old Master Lu’s 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.”
Chen Yi felt that it was unlikely. “Doesn’t Old Master Lu always dislike traditional medicine?”
Tan Jing wasn’t too sure about this either. She said, “We have to investigate secretly and see who treated Old Master Lu. Old Master Lu hasn’t fully recovered yet. We just have to find this person and make him work for us.”
Chen Yi felt that her daughter’s 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.
“My daughter is so smart, just like me.” Chen Yi said with a smile.
Tan Jing smiled and hugged her. “Thank you for your compliment, Mom. ”
That day, Mrs. Tao bought a lot of groceries. There were many bags and bags, and she couldn’t 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, “That biological daughter is different ever since she came back. I’ve 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?”
Mrs. Tao frowned, but she spoke politely to her, “It doesn’t matter if it’s costly or not. The main thing is that there are some of us at home. We can’t let our children eat poorly. As for these parcels, they belonged to our children.”
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.
“Is your Old Tao’s salary enough for such expenses? Your daughter was raised in a wealthy family after all. She’s a spendthrift when it comes to spending money. She really doesn’t know how to be considerate of her own parents.” 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 weren’t so many deliveries done.
“My daughter earned her own money.” Mrs. Tao said coldly. “She can spend it however she wants. She even bought us gifts.”
The auntie did not believe her. “Really? How could a high school student earn so much money? Don’t tell me that she’s been asking it from her adoptive parents?!”
Mrs. Tao was completely unhappy. “No, I know what kind of person my daughter is.”
“Even if she didn’t ask his adoptive parents for it, a child of her age should be studying hard in school.” The auntie’s last sentence was the main point. “She should learn from my Xiao Huan. She’s in the top 50 in the grade and top 10 in the class.”
“Well, then your Xiao Huan must be excellent.” Mother Tao answered without batting an eyelid.
The auntie’s eyebrows were almost raised to the sky. “Of course! My Xiao Huan said that she’ll earn a lot of money in the future and bring me around the world!”
“My Rourou can earn a lot of money now and bring me around to enjoy life.” Mrs. Tao picked up her things and said, “However, my girl’s grades can’t be compared to yours. She’s probably the top student in her class and grade.” She took her things and left.
The auntie froze on the spot. “Huh? Didn’t you say that your daughter was last?” She smiled. “Perhaps she’s the last in her class?!”
Mrs. Tao turned around and said, “You can ask your daughter about it. Aren’t they classmates?”
