55 055 It Wasn’t Intentional
Chen Yi panicked as well. Her arms were still raised as she said helplessly, “Xiao Jing! It wasn’t intentional! How did I end up hitting you? Tan Rou! You b*tch! You did this on purpose, didn’t you?”
Then, Tan Rou walked out from behind Tan Jing with an innocent smile, “I was too scared. I don’t think my face would still be intact if you slapped me. I know you were mad and wanted to hit me, but I didn’t think you would hit your daughter either.”
Chen Yi wasn’t done, but Tan Rou had already returned to Zhuang Liu’s side. Then, she said to Chen Yi, “Instead of wasting your time here, you should quickly bring your daughter to the hospital. Her face is so swollen that she looks like a pig.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEverything happened so quickly. The rest were only about to intervene, but the whole thing ended so dramatically that they wanted to laugh.
The boss shook his head helplessly before speaking to Chen Yi, “It was only a small deal of a meal, but I never thought it would drag on for so long. Both of you should leave now. Take a look at your child’s face and stop this. This place does not welcome the both of you!”
Tan Jing held onto her cheeks, which were red and swollen. She was crying, and that made her look even scarier. She was worried that her face would resemble a pig, as Tan Rou said, and she quickly screamed, “Mother! I want to go to the doctor! Quick! I don’t want to stay here anymore!”
Chen Yi quickly looked at Tan Jing’s face. It didn’t look serious since she was only a woman, but it was definitely swollen. Along with how Tan Jing wouldn’t stop crying, Chen Yi panicked and quickly left with Tan Jing.
The middle-aged woman who didn’t like Chen Yi sneered as she said, “Chen Yi is losing her mind as she grows older. She’s taking that garbage that only owns how to cry as a precious treasure. Those things have ill intentions.”
The rest of them calmed her down. “Well, you don’t have to comment on it. She won’t be able to do this for long. We’ll stay further away from her. She’s beating up everyone just because she’s mad. Look at how she’s acting now. Does she still look like the Ma’am Tan that we know?”
The boss then interjected and said, “Well, I truly apologize for the trouble caused. All of you would have come here to have a good time. Let’s head in and enjoy our meal. I have already brewed some beautiful tea, and you would have to try it out.”
The rest of them smiled in response. They agreed not to talk about what had happened earlier and returned to their respective rooms.
However, when they returned home, it became a mystery about how this story would turn out after being spread to the others.
The boss enthusiastically served them and said, “Let’s head inside. I have kept some tea for you. We must sit down and have a good conversation together.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZhuang Liu shook his head and rejected the offer, “I brought Xiao Rou here so that she could try some dishes here. I am a little exhausted from the drama earlier as well. Plus, you have friends here today. I will make sure to visit you very soon.”
The boss understood what Zhuang Liu was hinting at as well. Zhuang Liu was considerate towards Tan Rou, thinking she wouldn’t want to be stuck entertaining them. The boss was considerate enough to nod his head and said, “Very well then, an old man like me shall not be disturbing young people like you. I will prepare a few dishes and have them sent your way. All of them are dishes that I have just discovered. I’m sure you’ll like it!”
Tan Rou gently thanked the boss and was grateful for the considerate arrangements.
She came here in a good mood, but after her encounter with Chen Yi and Tan Jing, she felt a little moody. Tan Rou wasn’t worried about how they would cause a scene. They only knew how to embarrass themselves and a few slanders that would be sent her way. Tan Rou knew how to deal with them.
However, Tan Rou still had her worries. She didn’t care if her name got ruined since she wasn’t hoping to get something out of these socialites. It didn’t matter if these people had anything to say about Tan Rou, nor would it affect her.
But this cannot happen to the Tao family. They were good parents, and her brother was a wonderful man. They should not be dragged into the drains because of her. They shouldn’t end up like how they had in her previous life, where everyone hated them.
Therefore, Tan Rou always reminded herself not to be impulsive. She had already made a mistake once. This time, she should be more aware of the rumors. These would be able to ruin lives, and she would never allow anyone to have anything to say about her.
Now, this has proved her right. The reputation of Chen Yi and Tan Jing was getting progressively worse. The bad things they had done previously were now reflected in them. This was karma.
They should experience how it feels to be hated; how no one cares about them.
