Tao Ran successfully took the borrowed 10,000 yuan and left the Chen family with a purchase order worth 80,000 yuan.
Mother Chen knew that this method of making money by cutting first and telling later was mostly a one-shot deal. Instead of being cautious and making a small fortune, it was better to give it a try.
However, she was so brave that she only dared to invest so much. This batch of goods required advance payment, which was almost all the savings she could use now.
In order to reassure her, Tao Ran even said that if her father made a fuss, even if she paid the bill personally, she would still be able to absorb the goods worth tens of thousands of yuan. With such a promise, Chen Ma's last doubts were almost dispelled.
After all, the two children have been best friends for many years. This Xiao Xiao will definitely not harm her family...
Tao Ran did not rush home, but found a private clinic.
After giving her two hundred yuan, the doctor on duty followed her request, applied medicine and bandaged her at the designated location.
She bought makeup at a convenience store and painted a few bruises and bruises on her face before returning home.
In the old house, Xiao Changlin was still waiting there as expected.
He was pacing back and forth like a hot pot ant, fearing that the police would call.
"Xiao Xiao, where have you been? Why are you coming back now?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Tao Ran also brought a bag of medicine. "Hospital, see the injury, examine the injury, and treat the injury."
"You...you didn't call the police?"
"not yet."
"That's good." Xiao Changlin breathed out. Only then did he notice Xiao Xiao's injury.
Her legs were limping and badly injured. Her nose was bruised and her face was swollen, looking pitiful. She smelled of disinfectant all over her body, and she obviously had a lot of injuries.
Glancing at her medicines, they were all anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, and ointments for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
"These injuries...were all caused by that woman Zhang Hong?"
"You don't believe me?"
"No, no. Dad just can't believe that she would be so cruel to you." Xiao Changlin didn't lie. He was indeed shocked. Although he didn't like this daughter, he never thought of hurting her like this.
.
"If you had seen the surveillance, you shouldn't have asked me that. These injuries couldn't be self-inflicted, right?"
"Dad has seen the surveillance."
Xiao Changlin's face darkened.
In the surveillance, he saw Zhang Hong push her daughter down on the shelf after saying something to her; he also saw Zhang Hong fiercely banging on the door outside the study and making phone calls after her daughter entered the study...
Although Zhang Hong kept denying that she had ever beaten Xiao Xiao, what about Xiao Xiao's current injuries? There were only two of them in the family at that time! How could her daughter go through trouble for a servant?
I think he always thought Zhang Hong was quite honest, but the recording of Zhang Hong's insults that Xiao Xiao sent to him clearly told him that behind the unknown, this person has two different faces! Vicious, rampant, arrogant, excessive...
Xiao Changlin rushed to the old house and found that Yu Ming was indeed lying in bed with a severe cold. It also showed that Xiao Xiao was not lying. It was just two boxes of nutritional supplements, and Zhang Hong had no need to stop him.
He was indeed angry.
Zhang Hong was introduced to the family by Dong Ping. What kind of bad person is he?
And how could Dong Ping let such a person come to her home?
What kind of thoughts did his wife instill in her on weekdays that made her treat her daughter so harshly? For this reason, he had a big quarrel with Dong Ping not long ago...
"Don't worry, dad will make the decision for you. Aunt Zhang has been fired. In the future, the aunts in the family will be carefully selected by dad. Your aunt Dong Ping and dad have also taught her a lesson. You should be more generous this time and wait.
After you go home, we can sit down and chat as a family. Come on, cell phone."
Xiao Changlin took Tao Ran's cell phone and personally tied a high-value credit card to Xiao Xiao's account. "Stop saying dad is biased. You can also swipe credit cards from now on. Dad treats everyone equally and will never be biased."
After tying the card, Xiao Changlin rummaged through and operated on his daughter's mobile phone.
He deleted the photos taken by Tao Ran and started looking for the surveillance data that Tao Ran had transferred...
"Don't bother. I've backed it up. There's no point in deleting it on my phone."
Tao Ran grabbed the phone. "I didn't even bring back the medical records from the hospital. If you want, you can go to each hospital to investigate. But don't worry, since I have collected your money, I won't call the police for the time being. I'm sleepy
Now, go to bed."
Then Tao Ran returned to the room.
Xiao Changlin could only leave in anger...
The semi-finals start in three days.
As long as we win, we can keep the top two in the province.
With such an honor, even if there is no single award, there is still a high chance of being admitted to the target high school. Therefore, there is no room for failure in the next competition.
Therefore, in the past two days, Tao Ran spent all his time playing football.
Xiao Xiao has been playing football for several years and his skills are very good. What Tao Ran has to do is to get Xiao Xiao's sense of the ball back. And this is not difficult, it requires patience and time.
No, after these two days of training, Tao Ran felt that she had found the feeling. After she integrated her skills, it was basically difficult for other players in the team to intercept her ball in one-on-one situations.
Chen Yin Yin has not come to training these two days. Her mother ordered 80,000 yuan worth of goods in one go. She is helping her mother arrange and pick up the goods.
Tao Ran just openly suggested that Fang Mingliang find a substitute for the goalkeeper.
Because the team's performance broke the school record, the team received strong support from the school and also received sponsorship from two companies in the city. No, the team that was not eye-catching in the past has become a hot topic these days, and many
People came to sign up and want to participate.
Fang Mingliang is very concerned about the team he leads and has learned the lessons that the three main players in the previous game unexpectedly missed. This time he recruited eight new players with excellent sports performance and conducted devilish training every day.
Even though it's just temporary arrangements, it's better than having no one available to play...
The day before the competition, Mother Chen also prepared goods and wanted to deliver goods to the Xiao family.
Tao Ran refused, saying that she had to prepare for the competition and had no time to deal with the matter. The two agreed to wait until the competition was over before delivering the goods.
Game day has finally arrived.
Early in the morning, everyone on the football team got on the bus prepared by the school and headed to the provincial capital for the afternoon game.
As usual, Chen Yinyin sat next to Tao Ran from the moment she got in the car.
Her whole body was tense, and Tao Ran couldn't ignore the tension that was visible to the naked eye.
Tao Ran knew that if Chen Yinyin wanted to help Dong Yun, she would have to either prevent her from playing or let her lose. But given the unbeatable result of the last game, Chen Yinyin could only choose the former option.
As long as Xiao Xiao, the absolute main force and shooter, cannot play, this game will definitely be lost. Even if they win, Xiao Xiao's name is not on the list of semi-finalists. Xiao Xiao's efforts will probably be in vain.
So after Tao Ran made a good psychological preparation, he just waited for Chen Yinyin to attack him.
