Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Tan Ron put the trophy away and handed the bag back to Tao Zheng. “Second Brother, help me hold it. It’s not easy for me to carry my bag in this dress.”
Tao Zheng was naturally very happy to help her carry her bag. “Rourou, I will help you carry your bag in the future.”
After Zhuang Liu heard this, he glanced at Tao Zheng. However, Tao Zheng did not turn around and did not see Zhuang Liu’s expression. How could Zhuang Liu let Tao Zheng carry Tan Ron’s bag? After they got married, only Zhuang Liu could carry Tan Ron’s bag.
Meng Si didn’t believe that Tan Ron had won the first place in the national physics competition. She said sarcastically, “Miss Tao, why did you put away the trophy so quickly? Is it really a fake trophy?”
“It’s just a trophy for a small competition. Our Xiao Ron doesn’t need to fake it.” Mrs. Tao snorted and said arrogantly.
Meng Si’s expression instantly turned ugly. The National Physics Competition had become a ‘small competition’ in Mrs. Tao’s words. She really had the guts to say that.
“I remember that CEO Meng also participated in the finals of the national physics competition that year, right? I wonder what kind of results Director Meng achieved back then?” Tao Zhi asked.
Meng Si instantly felt very awkward. She had indeed participated in the finals of the national physics competition, but she had not won any place. She had not even won a consolation prize.
“Oh, so Miss Meng also participated in this competition? Then why can’t you tell if my trophy is real or fake?” Tan Rou laughed.
“It couldn’t be that Miss Meng had never seen the trophy before, right?”
Tan Ron’s words were so clear that most of the people present covered their mouths and laughed. Among them were many of Meng Si’s competitors and many of Meng Si’s classmates. They knew very well how many points Meng Si had scored in the physics competition back then. Therefore, when Tan Rou said that Meng Si had never seen the trophy before, they started laughing.
Mrs. Tao wasn’t someone who liked to show off her daughter’s results. It was just that the Meng sisters had gone too far today, so she said that. If it was any other time, she would definitely praise her daughter.
“I heard that the top ten of the National Physics Competition can participate in international competitions. If that’s the case, it’s not wrong for Mrs. Tao to say that the National Physics Competition is just a small competition.” A madam who knew the inside story said.
“But getting first place in the National Physics Competition is already very impressive.” A boy who had just entered his first year of high school said, “1 also signed up for the preliminaries at that time. In the end, 1 was eliminated from the preliminaries. I didn’t have the qualifications to participate in the finals at all.”
Another girl said, “The top ten will be guaranteed admission to Capital City University. Tan Rou can skip high school if she gets first place.”
Tan Rou would still continue to attend school. She was not someone who liked to take shortcuts. She would only feel at ease if she walked the path step by step.
Someone who wanted to curry favor with the Tao family said, “Madam Tao, your daughter has achieved such good results. Aren’t you going to hold a banquet to celebrate? We can also bask in the joy of her good results!”
“There’s no need to celebrate this small achievement. Let’s celebrate after 1 get my results in the international competition,” Tan Rou said.
Mother Tao felt that it was necessary for her daughter to celebrate, but it wasn’t like they said they would treat the guests to a feast, it was very grand. They just wanted to do a simple celebration as a family.
Meng Si was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger. She said fiercely to Meng Xiao, “Apologize to the eldest daughter of the Tao family!”
Meng Xiao looked aggrieved. Her elder sister had clearly said bad things about Tan Rou. Why did her elder sister make her apologize alone in the end? She did not want to apologize to Tan Rou. Otherwise, where would she put her face?
“I won’t apologize!” Meng Xiao was also a tough nut to crack.
Meng Si glared at her and threatened, “Do you still want to be sent abroad?”
When Meng Xiao heard that she was going to be sent back abroad, she couldn’t help but shiver. “S-Sorry!”
Tan Ron’s expression was indifferent. “En.”
After the Meng sisters apologized, they left in a hurry. They didn’t want to stay and embarrass themselves.
Tan Rou held her mother’s arm and said happily, “Today is Dad’s birthday. Let’s go find Dad quickly.”
“Alright.” Mrs. Tao’s mood improved after the Meng sisters left. “Let’s go quickly. Your father is probably getting anxious..”
