414 A Brilliant Appearance

When Tao Zhen saw Tan Song leave, he knew that the matter was over. Hence, he walked to Father Tao's side and leaned over to whisper a few words into his ear.0

Mr. Tao nodded slightly and said, "Let's start."

Tao Zhen stood back on the stage, cleared his throat, and began the process. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our dear daughter's birthday party. Not only is this her birthday party, but also her 18th birthday celebration. So now, let's welcome her with warm applause!"

None of the people present were fools. They all knew it was better to have a good relationship with someone now. Hence, they all applauded desperately, trying to leave a good impression in front of the Tao family.

The big movable screen behind her separated, and Tan Rou slowly descended from the stairs. She wore a long blue dress with light makeup on her face, making her look noble, beautiful, and elegant.

"Is this the eldest daughter of the Tao family? She's beautiful! If my son can marry the daughter of the Tao family, then our Zhang family's ancestral grave will really be green smoke!" Mrs. Zhang clapped her hands and said happily.

A woman with her son said disdainfully, "Mrs. Zhang, why don't you open your eyes and look what the eldest daughter of the Tao family looks like? She's a fairy, and your son is a toad. How can he be a good match for her?"

Mrs. Zhang rolled her eyes. "Mrs. Yang, if my son can't do it, can your son? Oh, I forgot. You only have three daughters and no sons."

Initially, she wanted to mock Mrs. Yang for not having a son, but Mrs. Yang didn't care at all.

Mrs. Yang pulled her three beautiful daughters out and smiled, "Although I don't have a son, I have three daughters. Moreover, my youngest daughter is in the same class as the young master of the Tao family. She might become the young madam of the Tao family in the future."

"Do you think anyone can marry into the Tao family in the capital?" Mrs. Zhang glanced at Tan Jing as she spoke. "There are all kinds of people who want to marry into the Tao family. They don't even look at whether they're worthy or not."

"We're better than yours." Mrs. Yang refused to be outdone. "If our daughter marries over, the child she gives birth to in the future will carry their last name. However, if your son marries the eldest daughter of the Tao family, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, they will have a different surname. In the future, they will be far away from the center of power in the Tao family."

Tan Jing cursed these two gossips in her heart. They still wanted their children to marry into the Tao family in the capital. They were simply dreaming! She would be the only person worthy of marrying into the Tao family.

On the stage, Tan Rou was shocked by this scene. She knew that her parents had prepared a grand banquet for her, but she did not expect so many people to look at her. Moreover, they even made her walk down the stairs. It was too embarrassing.

"Thank you for coming to my birthday party." Tan Rou took the microphone and smiled. "I hope everyone has a good time today."

After that, a large group of people gathered around Tan Rou to talk to her. In order to talk to Tan Rou, those rich and powerful people did not care about their usual demeanor. They squeezed each other, trying to push each other away.

Tao Zhi and Tao Zheng protected Tan Rou from the left and right. Even Tao Qi acted like a little man, pushing those annoying people out with all his might.

"Miss, do you have someone you like?" Mrs. Zhang finally squeezed her way in. When she finally got her chance, she asked Tan Rou if she had anyone she liked. Regardless of whether Tan Rou said she did or not, she would introduce her son to them.

"My sister is still young! She is not interested in these yet!" Tao Zheng didn't forget to glare at Zhuang Liu when he said this. If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people, he really wanted to chase Zhuang Liu out.

Zhuang Liu sat back in his wheelchair. Xiao Mo pushed him from behind, still looking sickly.

"Third young master, aren't you going to help Miss Tan Rou?" Xiao Mo said anxiously as he watched the young men rush over.

Zhuang Liu really wanted to go over, but he was in a wheelchair, which made it inconvenient. Furthermore, if he were to go over now, Tao Zheng would probably throw him out along with his wheelchair.

"We'll go over later when there are fewer people." Zhuang Liu said.

"Third Young Master," Xiao Mo said," Miss Tan Rou is like a fish on a chopping board right now. She needs a hero like you to save her."

Zhuang Liu thought for a moment and felt that Xiao Mo's words made sense. "Alright, push me over." These people really didn't know how much they were worth. Were they worthy of Xiao Rou?
