“Brothers, come in first, we’ll talk slowly.”
The three brothers changed their shoes while listening to Tan Mo answer one by one: “I was fine in school today, although I didn’t talk to Muye. I was assigned to the same class as Qin Muxiao, but I made a new friend named Ming Yeqing.”
“Listening to the name, he seems to be a boy?” Tan Jinqi changed his shoes and came in, picked up Tan Mo and went to the living room.
The two brothers, Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi, rushed to keep up.
Then on the sofa in the living room, everyone surrounded Tan Mo.
“Yeah.”
Tan Mo saw the third brother’s eyes suddenly widen like bells, “Momo, you have to keep a distance from boys. You can’t be fooled by boys, you know?”
“Except for brothers, among other boys, there is no good person!” Tan brothers tried their best to nip all the cow dung in the cradle[1].
“Today Qin Muxiao and the others in the class wanted to isolate me. He is the only one who became my friend.” Tan Mo said something fair for her new friend.
The attention of the three brothers was immediately diverted by these words: “She bullied you?”
“She is in the same class as you?”
“Uncle Zhiqian and Muye were there, and Muye’s brother was also there to support me. Because of them, Qin Muxiao has lost a lot of face, and the classmates in the class no longer dare to listen to her. She will never be able to bully me in the future, so don’t worry.”
Tan Mo said this when they got here, when the doorbell rang at home.
Everyone from the family was at home, who was coming now?
Aunt Guo had already gone to the door.
“Sir, Madam, Mr. Wei sent someone here.” After Aunt Guo opened the door, she hurriedly told Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen.
When the two heard this, they looked at each other in surprise and immediately waited at the door.
Tan Mo also followed curiously.
As soon as Tan Mo passed by, her three brothers naturally indispensably followed.
So, the whole family appeared at the door neatly.
The person who came in was a middle-aged man. Seeing this formation, his expression remained unchanged, as steady as a mountain.
“I’m really sorry for the unexpected visit. I am the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion, and my surname is Zhou.” The middle-aged man introduced himself first.
“Hello.” Tan Wenci’s confused eyes fell on the box held by Butler Zhou.
Housekeeper Zhou quickly explained: “Master Wei asked me to bring this to Momo.”
“Give it to me?” Tan Mo revealed her little face full of doubts.
Butler Zhou’s heart melted when he saw Tan Mo’s cute little face.
His eyes curled up in laughter, and even the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened.
No wonder the young master liked to talk about Momo so much.
Who wouldn’t like such a cute, pretty and squishy little girl?
Butler Zhou opened the box: “These are the textbooks and exercises from the young master’s elementary school years. Although the textbooks have been updated over the years, the knowledge points have not changed. And there are also annotations made by the young master back then, which is very convenient for self-study.”
“Momo, why do you want to teach yourself these things?” Tan Jinqi stretched his neck and looked at the books in the box. There was such a big pile, really a lot.
“I want to learn it in advance and see if I can skip a grade.” Tan Mo said.
She didn’t want to waste too much time in school, she wanted to become stronger as soon as possible.
Moreover, she knew all those knowledge points anyway. What she lacked now was systematic explanation and comprehensive understanding.
Going step by step was really a waste of time for her.
“Why are you rushing to skip a grade?” Tan Jinsheng asked nervously, “Is it because of Qin Muxiao?”
“That’s not the case either.” Tan Mo said, “I’m not afraid of being in the same class with her, but since she treats me as an enemy, it seems like that. But if I keep skipping grades, but she still stays where she is. Doesn’t it mean that she would be anxious and angry to death? If we let her see that the gap between me and her is getting farther and farther, and that I am better than her. What can be better than that reality? What could be more of a slap in the face?”
She was not afraid of Qin Muxiao so as to avoid her, but she did want to make her angry to death!
“Momo, don’t embarrass yourself like this for an unimportant person.” Tan Wenci felt very distressed, “We just want you to grow up happily, without pressure or worry.”
“Yes, don’t work hard. Just leave this kind of thing to your brothers.” Tan Jinyi patted his chest, which was not generous yet, “As long as you are responsible for being happy and comfortable, even if you don’t learn anything, your brothers will support you in the future.”
“Yes, when the time comes, I will put your name on the company and let your brothers work for you. You only need to be responsible for collecting the money.” Tan Wenci did not care about showing his future wishes for his sons in front of his sons.
The three Tan brothers actually all had their own hobbies and didn’t really want to join the company.
But for their sister, they could change their goals.
“No, I have to study hard and have the strength to protect my parents and brothers.” Tan Mo said, “Even if you don’t need my protection, I still have to have the strength. Moreover, the eldest brother wants to be a director in the future, and the second brother even more likes singing, and the third brother likes painting even more. I can’t let them give up their dreams for me.”
“As a family, of course we must protect each other. I don’t want to be the most useless person in our family. I want to protect you all!” Tan Mo said very seriously.
“Momo!” Tan Jinyi was moved to tears and looked at Tan Mo with tearful eyes.
Tan Jinqi’s heart surged like waves, and he silently clenched his fists.
It was because him, he the big brother didn’t do enough, so Momo was forced to protect them.
It was because he didn’t give Momo enough sense of security!
“Besides, I had a day of class today and found that what we learned was really simple. I remembered it all after reading it once.” Tan Mo couldn’t say that she had memorized these things for 999 years and 364 days. She could only find a more acceptable excuse.
Originally, the fewer people knew about this kind of thing, the better.
But Wei Zhiqian helped so much, she couldn’t hide it from Wei Zhiqian.
Since Butler Zhou was sent by Wei Zhiqian, she won’t hide it from him.
“When I was in school today, I flipped through the content at the back of the textbook. I found that after reading it once, I could remember it easily” Tan Mo said, “As long as I can use it flexibly, I’ll consider it a master’s degree. If we follow the normal schedule, it’s quite a waste of time.”
“Dad, Mom, our Momo is a genius!” Tan Jinsheng said excitedly.
“So, it’s not all to anger Qin Muxiao, but also because the current progress is really not suitable for me.” Tan Mo said.
Tan Wenci, thought about it, his daughter was so smart, he couldn’t delay his child, right?
“In that case, let’s go with what you think.” Tan Wenci rarely objected to his daughter’s opinions. He always did whatever Tan Mo said, yes, yes, yes.
“It’s just that you have to do what you can and don’t tire yourself out. Stop when you feel tired. Let’s not rush forward.” Tan Wenci warned.
