Tao Qi stared with wide eyes, muttering to Tan Rou, "It can't be. Although Sister Jingjing has always been bullied by you, she might dislike you or not fancy you, but she's very kind, she wouldn't..."
Tan Rou shrugged her shoulders. She wouldn't tell her parents about these things, but for Tao Qi, who was still deceived by Tan Jing, Tan Rou patiently explained, "If you still believe in her kindness, then I have nothing to say. The person who framed me is from the Wei family, led by the Tan family. Director Wang, who wants to convict me, is instructed by the Tan family."
Tan Rou didn't embellish the truth, just stated the facts plainly. Even though Tao Qi was young, he could sense something was off about this situation.
Tan Rou continued, "If Tan Jing is truly innocent and unaware, why would she eagerly tell you about it before I was even punished? In her heart, she probably thought I had no way out."
