64 064 A Strange Boy

The Tao family had put the plan to bankrupt the Tan family on the agenda, but the Tan family still had no idea what kind of despair they were about to face. This was something to be discussed later.

In the blink of an eye, Tan Rou and Tan Jing had met their families and experienced a series of things. Finally, the holiday passed and school had finally started.

Tan Rou hadn’t finished her studies abroad. After returning to China, she submitted her college registration to the best school in the city.

Naturally, this school was also attended by many of the daughters and heirs of the major families.

Previously, at the Tan family’s ball, those followers who had betrayed Tan Rou and followed Tan Jing were her classmates at school.

Tan Rou was already familiar with the school’s curriculum. So naturally, there was nothing to worry about.

After all, the things she had learned abroad were much more difficult than this. However, those were professional skills. It always felt cold and structured for Tan Rou. The thing that she desired the most was the beautiful atmosphere of the campus.

Whenever she was there, she would see Tan Jing and those bootlickers. Tan Rou was already annoyed just thinking about it. School was undoubtedly another battlefield.

But now, the situation has changed compared to her previous life.

Tan Jing’s public image had collapsed multiple times and she had embarrassed herself everywhere with Chen Yi. Would these people still think that the Tan family was a deep-rooted tree?

Each and everyone of them had their own considerations to decide if Tan Jing was still someone worth following. Tan Rou carried her school bag and thought about strolling around the campus.

Occasionally, when someone passed by Tan Rou, they would cast a curious look at her. They would start whispering before getting far from her. “So… that’s the child that the tan family mistook? She’s quite pretty.”

“Lower your voice! It’s my first time seeing her too. I heard that she used to live abroad. That’s great, she’s been living like a rich girl for more than ten years.”

“What’s the use of that? Tan Jing has returned to the tan family. She’s the real young lady of the tan family. Tan Rou still has nothing. She has nothing!”

“Forget it. We will never understand the lives of the wealthy people. Let’s go. we’re going to be late! ”

Few of them whispered as they gradually ran away.

Tan Rou laughed. They didn’t have the courtesy to only start gossiping about her once she was out of their sight. Their conversation was overheard by the person whom they were talking about and she didn’t know if they did it on purpose.

Just as she was thinking about it, a lazy teasing voice came from the side. “How can you still smile when you hear others talking bad about you? Are you stupid?”

Tan Rou turned her head to look at the person who spoke and saw a boy in a white shirt sitting lazily on a bench not far away. He was holding an English vocabulary book in his hand. The sun shone on his face. With his long fringe drooped down on his forehead, it cast a few shadows on his exquisite face.

Tan Rou smiled indifferently. “They’re not talking about the real me. Why can’t I smile?”

The boy smirked. “What’s the real you like? Tan Rou?”

Tan Rou was a little confused. “You know who I am? Who are you?”

The boy stood up from the bench and casually closed the book in his hand,before moving his long legs. He got close to Tan Rou in just a few steps and gently knocked her head with the book. “You will know soon.” After saying that, he walked past Tan Rou toward the academic building.

Tan Rou touched her head suspiciously and muttered, “He’s quite handsome but he’s so strange. What a pity.”

Seeing that it was almost time for self-study, Tan Rou quickened her pace and walked toward the classroom.

In the classroom, some of them were quietly sitting at their desks preparing for their next class but a few of them were gathered in a small group, discussing excitedly with their heads next to each other.

The topic of discussion was nothing other than Tan Rou.

Upon a closer look, one could see that the crowd was surrounding Tan Jing. She sat on the chair with a wronged look on her face. The people around her were talking non-stop, as if they were excited to fight for Tan Jing.

Tan Rou stood at the door and heard her name being repeatedly mentioned. She knew that Tan Jing must have come to school early to perform the lines she had prepared in advance.

Tan Rou thought to herself, ‘Tan Jing really didn’t fail to disappoint me this time’. Sure enough, wherever she was, there would be a stage prepared for her. Even when she was at school, she didn’t spare any effort to defame Tan Rou.
