The title of the third-grade test was indeed printed in black and white at the beginning of the paper.
And the place where the class name was written was also written by Tan Mo using a black signing pen, stroke by stroke.
Class 2, Year 1, Tan Mo.
Especially with the title of the third-grade test paper in the middle of the front of the paper, the black and white words seemed even more shocking and eye-catching.
Looking at the test paper, it was neat and clean.
While Yuan Keqing was still answering the questions with a pencil, Tan Mo had already started writing with a black signing pen.
Although the font still looked a bit immature, it was neat and the radicals were arranged reasonably. So, it did not look like the font was top-heavy, often going out of the box, and of different sizes, unlike when one had just learned to write.
She was definitely not on the same level as Yuan Keqing.
Xu Mingzhen sneered, and when she talked about Tan Mo, a strong sense of pride surged up again: “Mo Mo didn’t get full marks on the test for first-year students, but for third-year students. There’s really nothing to compare with.”
Old Mrs. Xu had a stern face, thinking that Xu Mingzhen’s children were just like her, troublemakers who always made people embarrassed.
It was New Year’s Day, why did they have to make it so unpleasant?
“We are all family, there is no need to show off like that.” Old Mrs. Xu looked unhappy, “Put the papers away.”
Yuan Keqing’s hands were shaking with anger, but she didn’t dare let anyone see it, so she just put them under her legs and pressed them tightly.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
When the aunt opened the video, she saw an incredibly handsome boy standing outside the door of the unit downstairs.
Especially in these coldest days of winter, that face looked as white as cold jade.
“Excuse me, who are you…” The aunt had never seen this person before and thought he looked very unfamiliar.
Even through the screen, they could tell that the other person had a good temperament, so the aunt didn’t dare to neglect him.
“Hello, I’m Wei Zhiqian. May I ask if Mr. Tan Wenci and his family are here?” Wei Zhiqian asked politely.
“Yes.” Auntie didn’t understand and nodded in confusion.
“I’m here to see them. Can I come in?” Wei Zhiqian asked again.
“Oh, okay, please come in.” Since the person was already there, it would be rude to turn him away, so the aunt had to open the door.
The aunt came to the living room, and in the tense atmosphere, she could only bite the bullet and speak: “Mr. Tan, Mrs. Tan, there is a young man named Wei Zhiqian downstairs who said he wants to see you.”
Upon hearing this, the Tan family members had different reactions.
Tan Mo was surprised: “Why is my uncle here?”
The three brothers of the Tan family were as if they were facing a formidable enemy: “What is he doing here?”
He even came take Mo Mo from their grandmother’s house. Wasn’t this too much?
Tan Wenci quickly asked, “Is he still downstairs?”
“I’ve already opened the door for him. I heard that he came to see you. I can’t just turn him away.” The aunt explained, not sure if she was doing the right thing.
“Yes, yes, you did the right thing.” Xu Mingzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
But before she could completely relax, she saw Yuan Zhengwen stand up excitedly: “Wei Zhiqian, is it Young Master Wei?”
Xu Mingzhen: “…”
It was impolite not to let Wei Zhiqian come up.
But if they let him come up, there was also the troublesome Yuan Zhengwen here.
At this time, Yuan Keqing also rubbed her eyes. Her eyes, which were already red from crying, became even redder.
They looked like rabbit eyes, and they were watery, which made people feel that she was pitiful.
Xu Mingzhen: “…”
This was even worse.
Could Yuan Keqing be anymore obvious?
Was it not enough to trap Wei Keli, but now you are planning to trap Wei Zhiqian?
How can you have so many thoughts at such a young age!
And you are always looking at Tan Mo, isn’t it disgusting!
When Xu Mingzhen thought of Yuan Keqing staring at Wei Zhiqian again, she was so angry that she clenched her fists and couldn’t control herself.
Old Madam Xu happened to speak at this time: “Wei Zhiqian? Young Master Wei? This name sounds exactly like the one from the Wei family.”
“What do you mean exactly the same? Oh, mom, it’s the one from the Wei family!” Yuan Zhengwen rubbed his hands nervously and went to the door to wait.
“The one from the Wei family?” Old Madam Xu’s eyes widened. It took her a long while to react and look at Xu Mingzhen. “How do you know each other?”
Looking at Old Mrs. Xu, Xu Mingzhen felt even more upset.
She even thought it would be better to let Wei Zhiqian wait downstairs.
Now all she had left in her heart was a silent sneer with mixed feelings.
Xu Mingzhen didn’t want to answer Old Lady Xu at all and simply pretended not to hear.
At this time, Yuan Zhengwen’s flattering voice was heard: “Mr. Wei, please come in, please come in. It is a great honor for us to have you here.”
Wei Zhiqian glanced at Yuan Zhengwen indifferently, ignored the hand Yuan Zhengwen extended, and walked in directly.
Yuan Zhengwen’s hand hung in the air awkwardly, and he withdrew it awkwardly.
Wei Zhiqian came into the living room and was about to greet the elders, but he saw Yuan Keqing’s red eyes, she had obviously been crying.
Wei Zhiqian’s expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked in a deep voice: “Did she bully you again?”
Yuan Keqing was delighted that Wei Zhiqian finally opened his eyes.
Was she finally seen by Wei Zhiqian this time?
Yuan Keqing sniffled and looked up with trembling lips, but she saw that Wei Zhiqian wasn’t even looking at her. He was frowning and looking at Tan Mo with a fierce face.
Tan Mo raised her head and stared at Wei Zhiqian blankly.
The scene Wei Zhiqian saw when he came in was that among the entire family, only Yuan Keqing had red eyes, as if she had just cried.
When talking about family members, he was even more cold and stern.
Coupled with the protective attitude of Old Lady Xu towards Yuan Keqing, Yuan Keqing looked very pitiful.
No matter how you look at it, Yuan Keqing seemed to be the one being bullied, and they were the ones who seemed to have bullied Yuan Keqing.
When Wei Zhiqian came in, Tan Mo’s first instinctive reaction was that Wei Zhiqian might question her on behalf of Yuan Keqing.
But when she looked at Wei Zhiqian, she saw that Wei Zhiqian was only looking at her at this moment, with no one else in his eyes.
Tan Mo clearly saw the worry flashing in Wei Zhiqian’s stern eyes.
Seeing Tan Mo staring at him blankly without answering, Wei Zhiqian immediately asked again: “Did Yuan Keqing bully you again?”
These words completely hit Tan Mo’s heart.
Tan Mo then realized that before, she didn’t completely trust Wei Zhiqian.
She believed that her brothers would stand by her side regardless of right or wrong, trust her, and protect her.
They would never stand with Yuan Keqing. Even if it was Yuan Keqing who was crying, the brothers would still think that she was bullied by Yuan Keqing.
But she didn’t trust Wei Zhiqian like that yet.
She just treated Wei Zhiqian as a golden thigh, holding him carefully and trying to please him.
She knew that as long as she could hold on to Wei Zhiqian, this golden thigh, it would be good for her family.
But deep down in her heart, she felt that Wei Zhiqian’s support was not reliable.
But until just now, facing Wei Zhiqian’s affirmative question without any ambiguity, Tan Mo knew that from this moment on, she truly trusted Wei Zhiqian.
Trusted him as she trusted her brothers.
