When Tan Song saw the old man, he immediately went up and grabbed the old man’s hand. He said excitedly, “Hello, Old Master Tao! I’m Tan Song, the current head of the Tan family. This is my daughter, Tan Jing. Jingjing, come over and greet the elderly from the Tao family!”

The white-haired old man was about to say something when he was interrupted by Tan Jing. Tan Jing ran to him with a smile. “Hello, Grandpa. I’m Tan Jing!” Tan Jing felt that this old man looked familiar. She seemed to have seen him somewhere before. Could this be destiny?

Professor Zhong, who was stopped midway, was dumbfounded. What were these people talking about? He studied science and was not good at speaking, so he could not interrupt the father and daughter’s continuous bombardment of words.

“Old Master Chao, my daughter, Jingjing, is an outstanding young lady. Previously, your family also wanted my Jingjing to marry your outstanding young master, so 1 brought Jingjing here for you to look at.” Tan Song recommended Tan Jing as if he was promoting something.

“I…” Professor Zhong’s expression had a confused look on his face. He really did not understand what this person was talking about.

Tan Song could tell that something wasn’t right. He thought the old man was dissatisfied with his Tan Jing, so he continued to promote, “My Jingjing is excellent when it comes to her studies. She’s always in the top three of her grade. She’s also good at piano, violin, painting, and many other things. Although our family’s financial resources are not comparable to the Tao family’s, please believe me that our family will become better in the future.”

Tan Jing gently ruffled the hair by her ear and revealed a confident and sunny smile. She had always felt that she was the most outstanding. The Tao family in the capital would be satisfied with her.

Tan Rou, who followed Tao Zhen out, was about to go wild from laughing. Was Tan Jing stupid? How could he mistake Old Man Zhong for someone else?

Zhao Ru squeezed into the crowd. She recognized Professor Zhong at a glance, so she shouted to Tan Jing, “Jingjing, you and your dad got the wrong person.”

However, countless people already came out to greet the ‘old master from the Tao family.’ Their voices were so loud that they drowned out Zhao Ru’s voice.

Tan Song was still chattering away with Professor Zhong, but Professor Zhong’s expression was getting uglier and uglier. He would have kicked Tan Song aside long ago if he hadn’t been well-rested.

Zhao Ru couldn’t stand it anymore. She squeezed forward and said to Tan Jing, “Jingjing, you got the wrong person!”

Tan Jing heard Zhao Ru’s voice, but she could only see Zhao Ru opening her mouth with an agitated expression. She just thought that Zhao Ru was excited to see the old master of the Tao family.

Not everyone at the banquet today knew the old master of the Tao family from the Tao family. Therefore, under Tan Song’s misdirection, they naturally recognized Professor Zhong as the old master of the Tao family.

A large group of people pulled their daughters forward, wanting to introduce their outstanding daughters to the old head of the Tao family.

Grandpa Tao looked at the elderly people who were surrounded by the crowd and shook his head with a smile. He gently said to his grandchildren, “Let’s go in. We shall not be involved with these people.”

Zhao Ru finally squeezed into Tan Jing’s side. She didn’t speak loudly but whispered to Tan Jing about Professor Zhong’s identity.

However, there were too many people, and Tan Jing did not hear what Zhao Ru was saying.

Zhao Ru panicked and shouted, “Jingjing, you got the wrong person! This is Professor Zhong, who has been to our school before. He is not the head of the Tao family from the Capital.” Her voice was so loud that everyone could hear her.

Tan Song and Tan Jing stood there stiffly as if lightning struck them. The rest of the people also seemed to have pressed the pause button and did not say a word.

Tan Jing remembered that this old man was one of the people who went to school that day. However, the old man’s eyes were blurry at that time, and he even had trouble walking. Therefore, she did not associate the old man in front of her with the old professor who was about to die.

Professor Zhong finally had a chance to speak up. He tidied up his sleeves, which were about to be torn, and said, “I’m sorry. My surname is Zhong. I’m not who you are looking for.

Tan Song and Tan Jing blushed.. How could they have mistaken him for someone else? Where else would the head of the Tao family be?!
