Tan Mo didn’t want to listen to Yuan Keqing’s hypocritical and insincere apology at all.
Therefore, without giving Yuan Keqing a chance to speak, she looked up and asked Wei Zhiqian: “Uncle, why are you here?”
How did he know that they were here?
How did he know Old Mrs. Xu’s home address?
Tan Mo had a lot of questions.
Wei Zhiqian reached out to wipe the tears from Tan Mo’s face.
The child’s skin was so delicate that he didn’t dare touch it too much, for fear that his fingers that were too rough would hurt Tan Mo.
Then, Wei Zhiqian said, “Grandma missed you, so I went to your house to look for you. But your aunt told me that you guys were here, so I came here to look for you.”
Wei Zhiqian originally wanted to apologize.
He came here without saying hello and disturbed them.
But looking at the current situation, Wei Zhiqian didn’t want to apologize anymore.
He pretended that no one outside the Tan family existed, and said to Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen: “My grandma’s head hurts again. It’s not that serious, but it keeps hurting, and it’s quite torturous. She thought of Mo Mo, as before, when Mo Mo was around, her head didn’t hurt.”
“Although I know it’s just a coincidence.” Wei Zhiqian said, “But Mo Mo is so cute, it would be good for her to coax grandma in front of her and distract her from her headache. That’s why I came here.”
Wei Zhiqian looked embarrassed: “I don’t know, can I take Mo Mo to the old house? It’s New Year’s Day, this request is a bit presumptuous, but for the sake of the old lady’s comfort, please uncle and aunt agree to my wilful request. I will definitely come to apologize in person someday.”
Although Wei Zhiqian asked Tan Mo to call him uncle, he really didn’t have the courage to call Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen brother and sister-in-law.
Just…, let’s talk about our own affairs!
When the Tan brothers heard this, they were surprised that Wei Zhiqian still went to the Tan family?
Tan Wenci also said: “The old lady is not feeling well and wants to see Mo Mo, so it is only natural for Mo Mo to go over. But there is no need to just come and apologize.”
You must not come!
Wei Zhiqian pretended not to understand the rejection in Tan Wenci’s words: “I wonder if uncle and aunt have any other plans next? If not, can you come with me? I think with you and Mo Mo’s brothers around, she will be more comfortable in a new environment.”
Tan family didn’t expect that they could go too.
Originally, if Wei Zhiqian hadn’t spoken, they would have been too embarrassed to bring it up.
After all, that was the Wei family’s old house, not just any place.
As if afraid that Wei Zhiqian would go back on his word, Tan Wenci directly picked up Xu Mingzhen’s bag and stuffed it into Xu Mingzhen’s hand: “Okay, okay, we should also go to wish the old lady a happy new year.”
Then, he turned around and asked Xu Mingzhen in a low voice: “Are you going?”
Since all the family members were leaving, it would be meaningless for her to stay here alone.
Even putting all this aside, Xu Mingzhen didn’t want to stay here and see Old Lady Xu’s face.
She was even glad to have an excuse to leave.
“Of course.” Xu Mingzhen turned around and said to Old Madam Xu, “Mom, we are worried about Mo Mo going alone. We will leave first.”
That’s enough.
Although Old Mrs. Xu was partial, she was not stupid.
How could she let someone leave like that? She quickly said, “There’s no rush, right? How about Young Master Wei finish his lunch here, and then we can go together?”
Listen, how naturally Old Mrs. Xu used the word “we”.
Xu Mingzhen sneered. Could it be that Old Mrs. Xu was planning to take Yuan Zhengwen’s family with her?
“Old Madam, be careful with your words!” Wei Zhiqian’s face turned cold. “My grandma is still sick at home, but you asked me to finish my meal here before going back. Are you calling me unfilial?”
“No, no, I definitely don’t mean that.” Old Mrs. Xu waved her hands hurriedly.
“Then I can’t stay.” Wei Zhiqian hugged Tan Mo and said coldly, “Goodbye.”
After saying that, Wei Zhiqian turned and left.
From the time he arrived here to the time he left, apart from cursing Yuan Keqing, he didn’t say a single auspicious word.
The Tan family was afraid that Wei Zhiqian planned to kidnap Tan Mo, so they didn’t even bother to say goodbye to Old Mrs. Xu and hurriedly chased Wei Zhiqian out the door.
Yuan Zhengwen didn’t want to miss this opportunity, otherwise he didn’t know when he would meet Wei Zhiqian again.
It was definitely impossible to ask the Tan family to introduce them, as the Tan family would never do that.
So, Yuan Zhengwen pulled Xu Mingjing up and said, “Don’t just stand there, let’s go together!”
Yuan Keqing reacted much faster than Xu Mingjing and had already gone to the door.
Now she didn’t have time to feel sad about Yuan Zhengwen’s behaviour just now.
Xu Mingjing was unable to react and let Yuan Zhengwen drag her away.
In a short period of time, only Old Mrs. Xu and Auntie were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
The living room suddenly became empty and quiet.
Such a good year had become so empty.
“Young Master Wei! Young Master Wei!” Yuan Zhengwen thought Xu Mingjing was too slow, so he let go of her hand and rushed out.
Before Wei Zhiqian could get into the car, he was stopped.
“Young Master Wei, let’s go and wish the old lady a happy new year too.” Yuan Zhengwen said with a smirk on his face.
“No need.” Wei Zhiqian said coldly.
“No, no, no. It’s not appropriate for us not to go and take a look when we know the old lady is not feeling well.” Yuan Zhengwen said, rubbing his hands.
“If you go, the old lady will be even more uncomfortable.” Wei Zhiqian said with a sullen face, “Don’t you understand? The Wei family doesn’t welcome you.”
After saying that, no matter how ugly Yuan Zhengwen’s expression was, he carried Tan Mo into the car.
Later, Tan family also got into their own car, not caring how embarrassed Yuan Zhengwen was.
“This Yuan Zhengwen is really in the way!” Tan Wenci asked the driver to drive, and complained to his family in the car, “I was originally planning to bring Mo Mo over, but now I’m afraid he’ll bother us, so we have to leave quickly, and I didn’t even have time to bring Mo Mo over.”
If he went to hug Tan Mo, Wei Zhiqian will definitely not let her go easily.
Wouldn’t it take time to bargain again?
With Yuan Zhengwen around, it would be difficult to handle this.
Tan Wenci was so angry in the car that he felt the New Year was no longer fun.
“Uncle, does the old lady have a severe headache?” Tan Mo asked.
She had wanted to help the old lady cure her headache before, but she couldn’t find a suitable reason to approach her. She couldn’t just say that she was going to treat the old lady.
Who would believe that?
Unexpectedly, the old lady would still think of her when she had a headache this time.
“It’s not particularly painful, but it lasts a long time, which is very torturous.” Wei Zhiqian explained, “Grandma is usually treated by a doctor. She usually gets pain every two or three months. The duration of each pain varies, but it lasts at least a few hours.”
“That would be so uncomfortable.” Tan Mo felt tormented just thinking about it.
This kind of pain, like that of a boiling frog in warm water, was the most torturous. It was better to suffer severe pain for a while and then have it pass away, so that you could feel the pain all at once.
“It was okay this time. She hasn’t had any pain in nearly half a year,” Wei Zhiqian said. “Even the doctor wondered if grandma’s disease had been cured. Unexpectedly, she started to have pain again today. It happened to be Chinese New Year, and many people came to pay New Year’s greetings. So, Grandma couldn’t leave them.”
