Chapter 61: Want to Take Tan Mo Home

Now, as well as her parents and brothers, there was someone else who she could trust so unconditionally.

Upon seeing Yuan Keqing crying, his first reaction hadn’t been that Yuan Keqing was being bullied, nor was it to even think about what was going on.

Instead, he didn’t hesitate to assume that Yuan Keqing had bullied Tan Mo, who showed no signs of crying.

Being able to trust Wei Zhiqian was even more special than the trust that she received from her family.

Because Wei Zhiqian was not related to her in any way.

He doesn’t need to and has no reason to give her such precious trust.

Tan Mo looked at Wei Zhiqian with a kind of awe. She had never felt wronged before, but now, for some reason, she suddenly felt full of grievances.

From this moment onward, she would regard Wei Zhiqian as her loyal backer.

Seeing what he had done for her, she couldn’t help but release all her emotions uncontrollably.

“MWAH…” Tan Mo started to cry loudly, and she hugged Wei Zhiqian’s leg as she said, “Little Uncle, why are you here?”

How come he showed up every time she was being bullied?

Without exception…

In truth, though, ever since they had met until now, Wei Zhiqian has never seen Tan Mo cry before.

Now, the little girl was holding his leg and crying very hard.

Wei Zhiqian quickly hugged Tan Mo while looking at the Tan family sternly.

Tan Mo was crying as if she had a broken heart, even with her family here. What had they been doing just now?

Tan family: “…”

The way Wei Zhiqian was looking at them, it seemed as if he thought that he was Tan Mo’s family…

Yuan Keqing looked at Wei Zhiqian in disbelief.

She’d thought that Wei Zhiqian’s words of concern had been addressed to her.

She didn’t expect that they had been directed at Tan Mo.

When he came in, she was the one who was crying, okay?

He didn’t ask the person who was crying if she was okay, but ran to ask Tan Mo instead…

Now he thinks she has bullied Tan Mo.

When she was the one being bullied.

Tan Jinyi was green-eyed with envy as he said to his older brother in a whining voice, “Why does Mo Mo hug him and cry when she sees him? Why doesn’t she hug us?”

Tan Jinqi was also very envious, and he looked down at his legs.

Was it because his legs were too skinny?

Wei Zhiqian said to the Tan family in an angry voice, “If you can’t protect Mo Mo and keep her from being bullied, then I will take her to the Wei family’s house and see who dares to bully her.”

Tan Wenci was enraged by his words.

Wei Zhiqian had used the excuse of tutoring to take Tan Mo to the Wei family’s mansion every day, but he was still not satisfied. Now he wants to seize this opportunity to completely abduct Tan Mo back to his family’s house.

Tan Wenci was absolutely livid.

He pointed at Wei Zhiqian and was about to rebuke him.

Tan Wenci couldn’t care less who Wei Zhiqian was.

He would fight anyone who tried to snatch his daughter away. No one who would do that could be considered good people.

Upon seeing that Tan Wenci was about to scold him, Tan Mo hurriedly said to Wei Zhiqian, “Little Uncle, I haven’t been wronged. My parents and brothers have all protected me very well so I can’t be bullied.”

Wei Zhiqian didn’t believe her and said, “Then why are you crying and holding onto my leg?”

He really wanted to take Tan Mo home.

“I was touched.” Tan Mo was being held very firmly in Wei Zhiqian’s arms. Her little hand was free, and she gestured with her fingers and said, “Because Little Uncle, when you came in, only Yuan Keqing had red eyes. People who didn’t know the situation would think that she was being bullied by us, but your first reaction was that I was being bullied.

Tan Mo continued, “Except for my mom, dad, and brothers, you are the only one who I can trust so unconditionally. You are always the first person to worry about me no matter what the situation is.

“My mom, dad, and brothers are my family, so of course they are like this. But Little Uncle and I only met later, yet you are like this too.” Tan Mo lowered her head and rubbed her tender little face against Wei Zhiqian’s shoulders.

The wool coat that Wei Zhiqian was wearing was thick and soft, so it was just like rubbing against a layer of fluff of a small animal. It felt very comfortable.

“I cried because of this. I was moved.” Tan Mo squinted while rubbing her face against him, speaking with a satisfied expression.

Wei Zhiqian looked down at Tan Mo. She was really like a kitten when she was squinting and rubbing in his arms while letting out a purr of comfort.

Tan Wenci was very angry seeing his baby girl so close to Wei Zhiqian.

Just as he reached out to snatch Tan Mo back, he heard Yuan Zhengwen say, “Young Master Wei, Tan Mo is the treasure of our family, so no one wants to bully her.”

Wei Zhiqian looked directly at Yuan Zhengwen and said, “Who are you again?”

It seemed that he hadn’t even seen Yuan Zhengwen when he’d first walked in.

Wei Zhiqian was only willing to say a few words to Yuan Zhengwen when he talked about Tan Mo.

Yuan Zhengwen had seen his opportunity to talk to Wei Zhiqian, and now he hurriedly said, “Hello, Young Master Wei, I am Yuan Zhengwen, Mo Mo’s uncle.”

Wei Zhiqian glanced at Yuan Keqing and asked, “Yuan Keqing is your daughter?”

“Yes.” Yuan Wenwen had become extremely excited.

He didn’t expect Wei Zhiqian to know Yuan Keqing.

They must have met when Yuan Keqing went to attend Old Madame Wei’s birthday last time.

He had secretly sent Yuan Keqing to Old Madame Wei’s birthday party, and it turned out to have been indeed the right decision.

No wonder he had been fired the next day after the birthday party.

Saying that he was too ambitious and that he was screwing over the Tan family behind their backs had just been excuses.

Wei Zhiqian had probably taken a liking to Yuan Keqing. She might be quite familiar to Wei Zhiqian.

That was probably why Tan Wenci became angry and fired him.

This was how Yuan Zhengwen summed up the situation, and he looked at Wei Zhiqian expectantly.

“Your daughter has bullied Mo Mo more than once.” Wei Zhiqian was full of disdain as he said, “This is how you guys treat Mo Mo like a treasure? By bullying her?”

Yuan Zhengwen’s expression changed, and his previous thoughts were all shattered in an instant.

Yuan Keqing didn’t have a good relationship with Wei Zhiqian?

Then what had been the use of him sending Yuan Keqing to Old Madame Wei’s birthday party?

It had even caused him to lose his job.

Now, it seemed that Yuan Keqing not only didn’t have a good relationship with Wei Zhiqian, but she was even disdained by him.

Yuan Zhengwen pushed Yuan Keqing angrily and said, “Why did you bully Mo Mo?”

After Yuan Keqing had been pushed aside by Yuan Zhengwen, she fell into Xu Mingjing’s arms.

“My mother and I always tell you to treat Mo Mo well and take good care of her. You’ve bullied Mo Mo more than once?” Yuan Zhengwen dragged Yuan Keqing up again angrily. “Hurry up and apologize to Mo Mo!”

Yuan Keqing felt very wronged.

Usually, Yuan Zhengwen complained in secret.

Every time Xu Mingjing asked her to give in to Tan Mo, Yuan Zhengwen would be unhappy. He had asked more than once why should his daughter have to please Tan Mo?

How is his daughter inferior to her?

After hearing Yuan Zhengwen say such things so often, Yuan Keqing started to feel the same also.

But now, in front of all these people, Yuan Zhengwen had thrown her under the bus in order to gain favor with Wei Zhiqian.
