“Miss, I’m in the nanny room on the first floor. If Miss needs anything in the middle of the night, just call the internal line. I’ll be the first to reach your room.” Aunt Zhou said to Tan Rou before she went to bed.

Tan Rou nodded. “Thank you, Aunt Zhou. Good night.”

After lying on the bed, Tan Rou sent a message to Li Li, telling her to be careful when she returned tomorrow morning. She must not go alone or sleep in the departure hall.

Li Li didn’t reply. She was probably asleep.

She turned off her phone and was about to sleep when Zhuang Liu called. It was a video call, but just as Tan Rou was about to pick up, he hung up again. A second later, Zhuang Liu switched to a voice call.

Tan Rou reacted quickly this time. She pressed the green answer button, not giving Zhuang Liu a chance to reply.

“Xiao Rou, are you still awake?” Zhuang Liu’s magnetic voice came from the phone. There was a hint of a smile on his face, and it sounded very pleasant. “Why did Third Brother cut off the video?”Tan Rou asked.

Zhuang Liu paused for a moment before saying, “I accidentally pressed the wrong button just now.” Actually, he really wanted to video call Tan Rou, but he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for Tan Rou, so he changed it to a voice call in the end.

“Actually, you can also make video calls.” Tan Rou said.

Zhuang Liu really wanted to hang up the voice call now and change it to a video call. After thinking for a moment, he still felt that he should just stay with a voice call for now. He would wait for the video call to be made slowly in the future.

“Are you tired today?” Zhuang Liu did not ask Tan Rou how she did. He knew that she would definitely do well.

“I’m a little tired.” Tan Rou answered truthfully, “First, 1 took the exam for a day. Then, 1 was taken to the ancestral temple to pay respect. I only came back when it was almost dark. After returning, 1 even attended a small banquet and only returned to my room to rest after nine o’clock.”

“Xiaorou has worked hard today.” Zhuang Liu’s heart ached.

“It’s alright. These are all things that have to be done.” Tan Rou said.

“Have you seen your cousin?” Zhuang Liu asked.

Tan Rou “Does Third Brother know Tao Yue?”

“Yes.” Zhuang Liu said simply, “She was once the eldest daughter of the Tao family. She was very well liked by the Tao family and her grades were not bad but I heard that she’s only a foster daughter.”

Tan Rou smiled. “Tao Yue tried her best to hide the fact that she wasn’t the biological daughter of the Tao family. 1 didn’t expect so many people to know about it. Even my third brother, who doesn’t live in the capital, knows about it.” “This matter is no longer a secret in the capital.” Zhuang Liu laughed, “I think only Tao Yue doesn’t know that she has been exposed.”

“Perhaps there’s one more person who doesn’t know. Third Brother, do you know the Second Miss of the Meng family?” Tan Rou asked.

“I met her at the hotel two days ago. She seemed to be sent by Tao Yue to cause trouble for me.”

“Second Miss Meng?” Zhuang Liu recalled carefully. “I’ve heard about her. She was originally the most favored young lady of the Meng family. It was because she was too favored that she developed an arrogant and rude personality. Later, she offended a big shot in the Capital. In order to save her life, she was sent overseas. I did not expect her to be back now.”

“Who did she offend?” Tan Rou was a little curious.

“I’m not sure.” Zhuang Liu had been away all these years and rarely returned to the capital, so he didn’t know much about the secrets of the wealthy families in the capital. “If Rourou wants to know, I can help you investigate.”

“There’s no need to waste time and energy on this.” Tan Rou didn’t really want to know. “Meng Xiao isn’t a smart person. There’s no need to waste time on her.”

“Sure. Then, what about Tao Yue?” Zhuang Liu asked again. “Do you need me to ask Xiao Mo to find some information about her?”

“I don’t need it for the time being. My cousin is very interesting, so I want to play with her first.” Tan Rou said playfully.

“If she was smart enough not to provoke me, then 1 wouldn’t do anything to her as well. If she dares to provoke me, I’ll teach her a lesson.”

Zhuang Liu also smiled. “It’s her honor to be taught a lesson by Rourou.”

As she spoke, Tan Rou yawned. She looked at the time and saw that it was almost eleven o’clock.

“Third brother, I want to rest. Good night!” Tan Rou said.

Zhuang Liu asked, “Do you have time to come out tomorrow? I want to take you around.”

Tan Rou did not know if she had any other plans tomorrow. “Can we talk about it tomorrow? I’m a little sleepy.”

“Alright, good night, Xiao Rou!” Zhuang Liu said softly..
