Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

101 101 A heart-to-heart relationship between father and daughter

Mr. Tao didn’t really know Bai Jing since he was still young and healthy.

However, Bai Jing’s title as a miracle doctor had been around for decades. Everyone in their society knew about his abilities, including Mr. Tao.

Mr. Tao never expected Bai Jing to introduce his daughter to the Zhuang family’s young master so that she could treat him.

Previously, they had only heard that Tan Rou was skilled in medicine and could make traditional medicine. Both Mr. And Mrs. Tao believed that their daughter was not an irresponsible person. When she said that she had the skills to treat others, they were naturally very pleased.

But now, it seems that his daughter can do more than that! To be recognised by Bai Jing and allowed to treat Zhuang Liu showed that his daughter was more than capable. She must be talented in it as well.

Just like that, on an ordinary night, the father and daughter were both amazed by the abilities that the opposite party had.

Father Tao was still trying to maintain his identity.

After all, an ordinary employee wouldn’t have heard of the godly doctor and definitely wouldn’t know what it meant for the godly doctor to introduce his daughter to Zhuang Liu, so he vaguely explained. “I’ve only heard about it from my boss. He also heard about it from a rich businessman. He said that Bai Jing was someone skilled, which is why I remember him.”

Tan Rou looked at Mr. Tao suspiciously and realised that his acting skills were so good that she wouldn’t have noticed it if she didn’t look carefully.

Although it was a smooth excuse, he kept avoiding eye contact with her. He was clearly feeling guilty for lying to her.

Mr. Tao was surprised but in fact, he was more overjoyed than surprised. He could tell that his daughter would have an extraordinary future but he didn’t expect her to be so capable at such a young age. As a father, Mr. Tao was extremely proud and couldn’t wait to share this with Mrs. Tao.

However, on the surface, Father Tao pretended to be calm and asked, “Is the Zhuang family very powerful? I don’t know much about them but Tan Song mentioned it last time and I’m a little worried. Your relationship with the patient is just an ordinary one, right?” With that said, an uneasy smile appeared on his face.

Tan Rou knew that Father Tao was concerned about what Tan Song said about her misbehaving after she got close to the Zhuang family. He was worried that she would fall in love at a young age or be blinded by hatred and really seek connections with rich families.

Seeing how Father Tao was racking his brain to pretend that he didn’t know anything and was tactfully asking her all these questions, Tan Rou felt like laughing but she managed to hold it in and replied, “Of course not! We’re more than just that.”

Mr. Tao sat up straight nervously, afraid that his daughter had really gone down the wrong path. He wanted to shout, ‘My little girl, you don’t need to rely on anyone else. I can help you!’

Tan Rou looked at how nervous Mr. Tao was and laughed mischievously. “We’re just friends. His family seems to be quite powerful but I’ve never taken the initiative to ask. I’m his friend, not because of his family background. We were just able to connect.”

In other words, she was telling Father Tao not to worry that she was deliberately getting close to Zhuang Liu because of the Tan family. She wasn’t such an idiot for doing so.

Father Tao finally relaxed. He looked at Tan Rou affectionately and nodded.

It was rare for his daughter to be so open with him. It seemed that he had been overthinking.

Moreover, his daughter was an outstanding young woman. No matter how prominent the Zhuang family was, there was no such thing as her clinging onto them. Her daughter deserved it.

Mr. Tao was worried that Tan Rou was young and would feel indignant. Secondly, his daughter was a student and had just reunited with her. If she was really taken away by someone else, he wasn’t willing to let go of her yet. She should stay by his side for a few more years before thinking about marriage. She should not be falling in love now!

Father Tao’s heart was broken but he didn’t want to stop Tan Rou from doing things that she wanted.

Father Tao had been a capable man all these years and so he was very familiar with the old aristocratic families.

The third son of the Zhuang family was indeed pitiful. He should have been a rising star at a young age but the deterioration in his health ruined everything. If his daughter could cure him, that would be nothing but good news. It would be good for his daughter to form a good relationship with the Zhuang family.

The Zhuang family wasn’t one that was unreasonable. Father Tao was not worried that the Zhuang family would make things difficult for Tan Rou if she failed to cure Zhuang Liu. Instead, if she managed to do so, the Zhuang family would definitely gratefully repay his daughter. Father Tao was very clear about this and this made him feel less worried about the current situation.
