Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Chapter 1351: Temptation to Eat

“I thought I heard you talking about Zhuang Liu, where is he?” Tan Rou asked.

Mei Mei pointed toward the courtyard with her finger, “Mr. Zhuang is running on the path.”

Tan Rou said indifferently, “Hmm, then let him keep running. Go back to whatever you were doing, and stop arguing here.”

Na Na was terrified, she immediately ran to the storeroom to grab cleaning supplies, then, without saying a word, quickly wiped down the stairs.

Tan Rou sat on the sofa, silent and still, like a beautiful statue.

Na Na and Mei Mei dared not get too close to her, and when cleaning, they stayed far away, as if she were a flood or a savage beast.

Tan Rou glanced at the maid named Na Na and felt that her way of doing things was somewhat familiar, then she remembered a high school classmate and her mother.

Jia Jia’s mother, Li Wen, had once been brought to the Tan family’s home by Tan Jing to work as a nanny. Originally, Tan Jing intended to keep an eye on Li Wen to threaten Jia Jia, but in the end, Li Wen got involved with Tan Jing’s father, which not only led to her parents’ divorce but also to the bankruptcy of the Tan family.

Although Li Wen was not responsible for the bankruptcy of the Tan family, she had made a significant contribution to the destruction of their family harmony.

Tan Rou noticed the snacks on the coffee table, and being an expert in cooking, she immediately recognized what Na Na had eaten for breakfast.

She was very familiar with these snacks because the recipe was one she had given to the family’s pastry chef. The snacks were low in sugar and would not cause weight gain after eating. They had a very good texture, soft and delicate, and were very fragrant, much loved by the family.

However, the ingredients for the snacks were quite expensive, and the process of making them was somewhat troublesome. Under normal circumstances, they were only made for Grandma Tao and a few ladies, and were definitely not given to the servants to eat.

Tan Rou called Na Na over and asked, “Are you very hungry?”

Na Na put on a weak expression, but said, “No, I just had some snacks, and I feel much better now. I suffer from hypoglycemia, and if I don’t eat something in the morning, I will surely faint.”

Tan Rou glanced at her rosy cheeks and smiled with a curve of her lips, “Then you should buy more glucose to have on hand. Glucose is quite cheap, and it works very well.”

Na Na nodded and said, “Thank you for your concern, Miss. I will definitely remember to buy some glucose.”

Tan Rou pointed to the snacks on the table and asked, “Are these good?”

Of course, they were delicious, but Na Na did not dare say they were very good, “The taste is okay.”

“Who gave you these snacks?” Tan Rou asked.

Na Na hesitated for a long time before saying, “I went to the kitchen this morning to get something, and the chef there gave them to me. He said there were too many leftovers and asked me to help eat some.”

Tan Rou tapped her fingers on her arm, her smile making her look very approachable.

Seeing her demeanor, Na Na thought she wanted to eat some too, and said, “If you would like some, Miss, I can go and get you a plate right now. There’s still a lot left in the kitchen.”

“Humph,” Tan Rou snorted softly, “So you mean to say that the kitchen often makes such snacks?”

Na Na did not understand her meaning, “Do you think the kitchen shouldn’t make these snacks, Miss?”

“No,” Tan Rou stood up, “I just feel that the rules of this house seem to need some changing. What can be touched and what cannot should be made clearer, shouldn’t it?”

Na Na felt a bad situation was about to occur, “Miss…”

Tan Rou pointed at the snacks on the table, “These snacks contain a type of bean picked from a high mountain five thousand miles away and air-shipped here, very fresh, making the snacks delicious. So do you want to guess how much that bean is worth?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Na Na’s face turned pale, “Miss, I really didn’t know the snacks were so expensive; someone gave them to me, and I ate them.”

“Who gave them to you? Take me to him,” Tan Rou insisted firmly, “And don’t do anything unnecessary, like sending a message to warn the person who gave you the snacks before I get there.”

Na Na bit her lip hard, “Miss, I really didn’t mean to eat the snacks on purpose, this is my first time, please forgive me!”
