“Auntie, are you here to pick me and my cousin up?” Tao Yue asked shamelessly.

“We’re here to pick Xiao Rou up. Your mom’s car is behind us. There’s a traffic on the road. You’ll have to wait for a while.”

“Why don’t 1 call Mom and tell her not to come? I’ll go back with you.” Tao Yue continued.

Mrs Tao still refused. “I’m sorry, Yue Yue. We’re not driving a commercial car today, so it can only fit five people. The four of us plus the driver make five people.”

“But…” Tao Yue still wanted to fight for it.

However, Tao Zhi said, “If you can’t wait for Second Aunt’s car, just take a taxi back. We can’t bring you because we’re going to the old mansion today. It’s the first time Xiao Rou and Xiao Zheng have returned. They’re going to worship their ancestors and meet them for the first time.”

No one lived in the Tao family’s old mansion now. Only the Tao family’s ancestral shrine was there. During the holidays, the Tao family would go there to offer incense, but Tao Yue had never been there. She had asked to go many times, but Grandpa Tao refused. Grandpa Tao’s reason was that she would wait until she was an adult before going.

What they said about going when she was an adult was just an excuse. She was not the biological daughter of the Tao family, so she did not have the right to enter the ancestral shrine.

“Auntie, 1 haven’t been to the ancestral shrine either. Why don’t you bring me there today as well?” Tao Yue wanted to take this opportunity to take a look. She had long heard that the ancestral shrine of the Tao family had a family heirloom. She wanted to see it.

“That won’t do. We’re also following the old master’s arrangements. If you want to go, you can ask the old master.” Mrs. Tao rejected her request.

“Alright then. It’s the first time that my cousin has returned home. She should go and pay her respects to the ancestors of our Tao family. You should quickly bring her home. I’ll wait here for my mother.” Tao Yue said sensibly.

“Yue Yue is still as obedient and sensible as she was when she was young.” Mrs. Tao rubbed Tao Yue’s hair. “We’ll be leaving first. You should go back early too.”

As soon as Mrs. Tao took her hand away, Tao Yue stepped back slightly. A hint of disgust flashed across her face, but it disappeared in an instant.

Tao Yue’s face turned ugly after the car drove away. She didn’t want to be sensible or cute. She hated Tan Rou to death. If it wasn’t for Tan Rou, she might have been the one who went to the ancestral shrine to pay her respects.

“Tao Yue, are you feeling alright?” Gao Ming took off his coat. “You don’t look too good. Are you feeling cold?”

Tao Yue did feel cold when she said that. The clothes she wore today were not warm enough. It was fine indoors, but it was very cold outside.

“No need. I’m not cold.” There was no way Tao Yue would wear Gao Ming’s clothes. There were so many pairs of eyes watching. Once she wore Gao Ming’s clothes, they would make it to the headlines for some insensible gossip.

Gao Ming’s heart ached for Tao Yue. It was such a cold day, and she had been blown by the cold wind for so long. What if she got sick? It was all Tan Ron’s fault. Why couldn’t they make room for Tao Yue? Moreover, were they in such a hurry to go to the ancestral shrine? Couldn’t they wait for a while and let Tao Yue sit in the car?

“Stop looking. You won’t be able to enter even if you keep looking. 1 heard that the ancestral shrine of such a big family is not open to ordinary people. Even their own children might not be able to enter, let alone an adopted daughter. Don’t you think so, school hunk Lu?”

It was rare for Lu Qing to mock others. “That’s true. Although our family’s financial strength is not as good as the Tao family’s, our family’s requirements for entering the ancestral shrine are very strict. If it’s not a biological child of the family, they will never be allowed inside. However, those who have made great contributions to our Lu family can also enter the Lu family ancestral temple to worship. In the future, we can also place a memorial tablet there for them.”

“If it’s someone who likes to lie and is very pretentious, can they enter?” Li Li asked.

Lu Qing shook his head and said, “If we allow liars into the shrine, then the ancestors will blame us.””

“Have you guys said enough?” Tao Yue’s face was cold. “You’re really from a small place. You don’t have any manners at all.”

“Well, looks like someone got their pants on fire.”

Lu Qing nodded. “It isn’t anyone of us.”

Tao Yue was so angry that she walked away and went to the roadside to wait for her mother.

Deng Yao smiled at the two of them. “i’ll treat you to a meal when you come back to the Capital in the future.”

The two of them had a good impression of Deng Yao. “Alright! Let’s meet again next time..”
