Chapter 581: 581 Mentality
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Yue Yue, I’ve long taught you not to care too much about gains and losses, and not to be jealous of others. You should be able to tell without me saying it. Xiao Rou is indeed very outstanding. We have to be brave enough to admit the excellence of others and our own shortcomings,” Second Aunt Tao said earnestly.
Tao Yue didn’t dare to show her true self in front of her mother. “Mom, I understand what you’re saying. I’ll admit my shortcomings and wouldn’t be jealous of others.”
Second Aunt Tao didn’t really trust Tao Yue. Ever since Tan Rou came back, Tao Yue’s personality had changed. Every time they met, Tao Yue would say bad things about Tan Rou, as if she was deliberately trying to make others dislike Tan Rou.
Even though Second Aunt Tao had been correcting Tao Yue’s misconception, Tao Yue still didn’t change. The more she was told not to care too much about gains and losses, the more she would care about the difference between herself and others.
In this competition, Second Aunt Tao believed that with Tao Yue’s strength, it was impossible for her to get the last place. However, Tao Yue did get the last place. She had also watched the replay of the competition. Tao Yue’s performance in the competition was not even one-tenth of her usual level.
Tao Yue couldn’t blame anyone for losing the match. She could only blame her own bad mentality.
“Yue Yue, I’ve taught you since you were young not to compare yourself with others. I’m already satisfied as long as you try your best. I hope you can adjust your mentality and return to your previous state as soon as possible.”
“My previous state?”
Second Aunt Tao sighed. “You used to be a sensible and obedient girl. You never needed your mother to worry about you but you have changed now. You have become very materialistic and care a lot about what others get.”
Tao Yue lowered her head. “I didn’t want this to happen.”
“Yue Yue, you should know what kind of life your eldest cousin had in the past. She used to have a hard time. Now that she’s back, Grandpa and Grandma will undoubtedly treat her better. Since you were young, what did they not give you?”
Tao Yue did get a lot of things, but she felt that they weren’t worth much. They couldn’t compare to the things that her grandparents gave Tan Rou. For example, her piano was worth three million yuan, but Tan Ron’s Yuanxi Manor was worth more than ten times that.
Tao Yue lowered her head and didn’t say anything. Second Aunt Tao thought that Tao Yue had realized her mistake and was regretting it.
“Yue Yue, you must calm down.” Second Aunt Tao held Tao Yue’s hand tightly. “If it wasn’t for your unstable mentality, how could you have gotten last place in this piano competition?”
Tao Yue would never admit that her mentality was unstable, nor did she think that losing the competition was her fault. If Tan Rou hadn’t scared her, she would definitely have gotten good results.
“She was the one who scared me.” Tao Yue whispered.
Second Aunt Tao heard it and said helplessly, “Yue Yue, 1 know that the loss of this competition has dealt a heavy blow to you, but you can’t blame it on your eldest cousin. Moreover, this is not a reason for you to target her.”
“Mom has been speaking up for Eldest Cousin. Does Mom think that Eldest Cousin’s daughter is better than me?” Tao Yue cried.
“You will always be Mommy’s most beloved daughter. No matter how outstanding others are, they will never be Mommy’s daughter. Second Aunt Tao cupped Tao Yue’s face and said gently, “Only my Yue Yue is my precious daughter.”
Tao Yue pretended to cry. “Mom, I know.”
“But 1 have to remind you that if you do something wrong one day, 1 will definitely not protect you.” She wasn’t Old Master Meng, who would turn a blind eye to juniors who had done something wrong. If Tao Yue did something wrong, she would never forgive her, especially when Tao Yue could not hurt her family.
“I’m sorry, Mom.” Sensing that her mother was about to get angry, Tao Yue quickly lowered her head and apologized. Even if she hated Tan Rou, she couldn’t show it now.
“A good child would be able to realise her mistake and change for the better. You have to adjust your mentality. No matter what others say, you have to remain calm.”
“Yes, yes.” Tao Yue nodded. She had to hide her thoughts deeper in the future and not let others find out.
“There will be a charity auction tomorrow night. Your grandfather has decided to let your eldest cousin brother and eldest cousin sister represent the Tao family.. You shouldn’t have any objections, right?”
