170 170 I am your support.

Zhuang Lius smile was gentle but full of power. Thats according to the schools rules. Its far from enough. They should know that if they dare to bully you, they will have to admit their mistakes according to my rules.

Tan Rou looked at Zhuang Liu helplessly. In front of her, this person was as gentle as a large pet dog without a temper, but sometimes he can be a little overbearing. He showed his fierce and domineering side to others without mercy.

Zhuang Liu moved slightly closer to Tan Rou and looked into her eyes. He said softly, You are my salvation. With you, I have found the hope and courage to live. What I can do for you is actually insignificant, but no one is allowed to be disrespectful to you under my watch. Whatever you want to do, do it boldly. Ill take care of the rest.

Tan Rou was a little stunned. No one had ever said these words to her.

She didnt react for a moment and said in a daze, They were actually coerced and bribed by the Tan family. They have the Tan family as their support.

Zhuang Liu laughed. But, what they dont know is that Zhuang Liu and the entire Zhuang family are your support.

Zhuang Lius smile was a little evil, faintly exuding the aura of a superior who looked down on the world.

Tan Rou didnt know why, but she suddenly thought of things from her previous life.

At that time, she had just returned to the country. Although she was already very capable, she did not have the opportunity to get everyones attention. No one cared about what she had learned and lived abroad. They would only laugh at her for interrupting her studies for no reason and returning to the home that she had left for more than a decade.

Tan Rou could only clumsily try to gain other peoples attention through the stupidest means. She relied on money to buy others attention as well as gifts for them in order to socialise. Sometimes, she even thought that if she was more rebellious, she might be able to get Tan Song and Chen Yis attention.

Unfortunately, that didnt work. It only resulted in increased contempt and slander.

Everyone thought that Tan Rou was glamorous as the young lady of the Tan family at that time. She could enjoy the shade with her back against a big tree. She didnt need to study and enjoyed herself every day. However, Tan Rou was the one who was disappointed and could not live up to her name.

Tan Rou was the only one who knew that her life was only for show. The Tan family had never given her any support. Tan Song didnt even care about her life or death.

There was once when Tan Rou was ridiculed and humiliated by another young lady at a party. In the heat of the moment, she had poured red wine over the young ladys head.

In fact, that young ladys family did not have much power, and so most of them thought that this was nothing. In their circle, no matter how ridiculous the rich and powerful were, there was nothing to be afraid of with the Tan family behind her.

However, Tan Rou was still scolded when she got home. Chen Yi and Tan Song did not ask what Tan Rou had gone through and only forced Tan Rou to apologise the next day.

Tan Songs expression at that time deeply hurt Tan Rou. That kind of annoyance and indifference made it seem as if Tan Rou was just a disobedient pet to him. Pets should stay at home obediently and not cause any trouble outside.

At that time, Tan Rou understood that this wasnt her home, nor was it something that she could fall back on.

However, the more obvious this became, the more unhappy Tan Rou became. She became even more careful, wanting to gain even the slightest sense of existence. Even if she was just a pet, she begged them not to kick her out of the house.

Knowing that Tan Jing had returned home, this kind of distortion and uneasiness reached the extreme. In the past, no matter how hard she worked, she was not valued. Then, Tan Jing returned, and with how she was easily doted on, this caused Tan Rou to break.

That was why she had done so many stupid and absurd things.

After her rebirth, Tan Rou had long forgotten about this.

She had paid a painful price and finally learned that no one would forever be your support, and you could never depend on anyone else. She would only be able to protect those that she loves once she becomes powerful.

The support that she had once craved to have was now the trash that she wanted to destroy the most.

Tan Rou wanted to destroy everything with her own hands. She wanted to destroy the capital and status that the Tan family was secretly proud of. She did not get any favouritism or protection from them, so she would just disappear with them.

But now, Zhuang Liu solemnly and domineeringly promised Tan Rou that he and the Zhuang family would be her support.

Nonetheless, Tan Rou was touched.

Zhuang Liu always knew what she had done, but he had never taken the initiative to ask her. What he had said just now was to tell her that no matter what she did, he would always be there for her. There was no need to be afraid.

Tan Rou looked at Zhuang Liu, her voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e from being touched. Have we met before? Why are you so good to me?
