After saying that, Father Tao turned to look at tan Rou.
"Xiao Rou, your brother just came back. He might not be used to it yet. He used to be close to Tan Jing. Kids like him don't know much about these things. Don't take it to heart. You know how we treat you. We will talk to Tao Qi about this."
Tan Rou wasn't bothered by it. She was already mentally prepared and wouldn't really get angry at Tao Qi.
"I understand. It's normal for him to be unaccustomed to a new sister. Just take it slow. There's no need to force him."
Mrs. Tao felt even worse when she saw how sensible Tan Rou was. She blamed herself for not bringing Tan Rou back home earlier and causing the siblings to drift apart.
Mr. Tao nodded in satisfaction. "Come to my study room after dinner. I have something to discuss with you."
Tan Rou obediently agreed.
