Chapter 584: 584 Lies, Lies, Lies

“What jewelry design?” When Tao Zhi came over, he happened to hear Tao Yue’s words. “When did you get involved in the family business?”

Tao Yue felt a little guilty because Tao Zhi knew the Tao family’s work very well. If he knew about the design department, then her lie would be exposed.

She thought for a moment and felt that the possibility of Tao Zhi knowing was not high. During this period of time, Tao Zhi had been assisting Father Tao and the others in handling company affairs and had no time to wander around the design department.

Tan Rou smiled. “Cousin is talking about her glorious deeds of righteousness.” “Second Cousin’s glorious deeds?” Tao Zhi repeated, “Could it be that Second Cousin won last place in the piano finals?”

His words made everyone laugh. This matter could not be moved on anyway. Everyone had to bring it up again.

“No.” Tan Rou raised her eyebrows. “She was just talking about how she delayed her piano practice in order to design our new jewelry line.”

“When did you miss your piano practice?” Tao Zhi didn’t understand what they were talking about. “Is practicing seven to eight hours a day considered a waste? And did you participate in the design of the new product this time?”

Tao Yue couldn’t say a word after a series of questions. She stammered, “This… I…”

Tao Zhi didn’t like Tao Yue very much, and he didn’t want to hear her lie. “Alright, you don’t have to rack your brains to come up with an excuse. Don’t take responsibility for things you didn’t do, lest others expose your lies.”

Tao Yue’s face turned red and white. She braced herself and said, “I was involved in the design this time. It’s just that you’re too busy with work and wasn’t aware of it.”

“I’m sorry, but the design department is under my control now. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of you participating in the design of new products. As for the person who participated in the design of the new product but did not leave her name, 1 do know who she is, but I won’t tell you about it. Anyway, it’s not you.” “No way, no way?” The rich girl who spoke earlier laughed again.”Could it be that someone is lying?”

“I didn’t expect the famous number one socialite in the Capital to lie! Oh my! Could it be that her title as the number one socialite in New York was also fake? Did she say that herself?”

Before Tan Rou came back, Tao Yue had the ability to be the number one socialite in the Capital. She was previously the eldest daughter of the Tao family and was sought after by everyone. She was beautiful, had good grades, and had many skills. Coupled with her own marketing skills, she could indeed be said to be the number one socialite in the capital.

However, now that Tan Rou had returned, Tao Yue was no longer worthy of being the number one socialite in the Capital just based on her status. The rich ladies who were previously suppressed by her had to seize the time to kick Tao Yue out and shift the title of the number one socialite in the capital to themselves as soon as possible.

“You guys take your time.” Tao Zhi pulled Tan Rou. “Rourou, let them have this seat. Let’s go sit somewhere else.”

“Cousin, let’s sit together.”

Tao Zhi didn’t want to be with her, so he changed the topic and asked, “I wanted to ask you just now. How did you get here?”

“Uh… A friend brought me here,” Tao Yue replied.

Tao Zhi was still wondering which friend of theirs had such a big face when Zhuang Che came over to greet them.

“Mr. Tao, AAiss Tao, good evening!” Although Zhuang Che was greeting the two of them, his eyes were fixed on Tan Rou. “It’s really fate that we’re able to meet you here!”

Tao Yue sensed Zhuang Che’s gaze and walked back to him. “Brother Che, let’s sit with them. We can discuss it when we have a guessing game later.”

“Do we need to discuss this with you?” Zhuang Che said contemptuously. “Do you have the money to bid for these collections? You didn’t say that when you begged me to bring you in just now.”

Tao Yue’s expression changed. She said shyly, “Brother All Che, don’t say that. Although I don’t have that much money to buy precious auction items, I can still afford some small things.”

“Any one of the items here starts at a few hundred thousand. Are you sure you can afford it? Don’t talk big if you don’t have money,” Zhuang Che said mercilessly.

Tao Yue was furious.. Why were they all trying to ruin her reputation? Couldn’t they just shut up?
