Chapter 87: Turn Around and Go Back to the Tan Family’s House

Li Xiangrong felt that she was in a real dilemma. She didn’t know whether to comfort Tan Mo or to ask about Wei Zhiqian’s injury first.

She had heard that Wei Zhiqian had been hospitalized, but the elders had not allow her to visit.

So she still didn’t know what Wei Zhiqian’s situation was.

After weighing the options, Li Xiangrong asked, “Mo Mo, what is Zhiqian’s situation now?”

“My Little Uncle is okay. Yuan Keqing lied to me.” Tan Mo wiped her tears but continued crying as she said, “I don’t know why Yuan Keqing did this to me.”

Tan Mo had never called her by her full name before.

Xu Mingjing, Li Xiangrong, and Wei Keli have always heard Tan Mo affectionately call her Keqing in the past.

It was evident that Tan Mo was really angry this time.

Wei Keli felt sorry for Tan Mo, but he couldn’t help but also feel relief.

Judging from Tan Mo’s reaction, she’d probably really bombed on the test.

And, because of this, Tan Mo would probably have to repeat the year and remain a year behind him, instead of going to Beijing University at the same time as he did.

Tan Mo was still a step behind him after all.

“After I finished the exam, I hurried to find my Little Uncle. However, my Little Uncle was only feeling a bit unwell, so he had gone to see the doctor. There was no injury at all, let alone any serious injuries. He was still alive and kicking.” As she spoke, Tan Mo’s voice became louder and louder, as if to express her resentment.

…

Wei Zhiqian: “…”

“Turn around and go back to the Tan family’s house,” Wei Zhiqian said to his driver.

“Yes, sir.”

…

“Impossible!” Yuan Keqing’s expression had changed and she said, “Wei Zhiqian was injured, and he was seriously injured. I didn’t lie to you.”

Tan Mo shook her head sadly and said, “Keqing, have I treated you badly? Are you dissatisfied with our family so you want to sabotage the college entrance examination which is so important to me? The college entrance examination is an important turning point in people’s lives. Why did you do this to me? Why did you lie to me?

“I never knew that you actually hated me so much. You hate me so much that you want to ruin my life?” Tan Mo clutched her chest and said, “I always thought that we had a very good relationship. You used to always ask me for things. I gave you whatever you liked. Otherwise, I would have been blamed for not being generous.

“I always said to myself that you are my sister, so giving you things was natural. If I had to give you my stuff, then so be it. I have never refused you or felt dissatisfied with you.” Tan Mo sniffed some more and said, “Could it be that you wanted the first doll my Little Uncle gave me and I wouldn’t give it to you, so you were angry, and you’ve held a grudge until now?

“Or is it because I went to Old Madame Wei’s birthday banquet and my Little Uncle didn’t invite you, so my mother didn’t dare to take you there for fear of being impolite and offending others. Is this why you held a grudge? Or…was it because you resented me for skipping grades and not waiting for you. You wanted me to wait for you to take the college entrance examination together?” Tan Mo shook her head and said, “I don’t understand why are you doing this to me?”

Li Xiangrong and Wei Keli looked at Yuan Keqing at the same time.

Wei Keli was really staring at her, his mind a mixture of ambivalent emotions…

How many things happened between Tan Mo and Yuan Keqing?

Is Yuan Keqing really like Tan Mo says she is?

“Keqing, even if I entered university earlier than you, I wouldn’t feel smug and arrogant.” Tan Mo cried with a distressed expression on her face as she appeared to be thinking hard. “Or, do you think your family has always been inferior to mine, and that makes you unhappy?

“But none of this is my fault. My father is capable, and it’s not like I can make him become less capable. My parents and my brothers love me very much. They’ve always given me everything I wanted no matter what. I don’t want them to be sad so I never refuse what they give to me. I’m smart. I learn everything quickly at a glance. I can’t force myself to forget what I’ve learned and pretend that I haven’t learned it.” Tan Mo spoke in a low voice with a distressed expression. “I can’t change these things.”

The three Tan family brothers also sighed with distress.

“Mo Mo really has no control over her own excellence,” Tan Jinqi echoed his sister’s sentiments.

“We have always insisted on doting on Mo Mo, and she has nothing to do with it,” Tan Jinsheng said with emotion. “Mo Mo is considerate, and so she lets us pamper her.”

Tan Jinyi nodded repeatedly and said, “Mo Mo is very low-key and never shows off, but you still get so jealous of her. What did Mo Mo do wrong?”

Yuan Keqing: “…”

You siblings are showing off by feigning modesty.

“Even though you lied to me this time, I still don’t blame you. I can only blame myself for not concentrating on the exam. I failed the exam and I can’t blame anyone else,” Tan Mo said with a pale face. “Furthermore, you are my younger cousin. How could I blame my younger cousin?

“I just want to know. Keqing, why do you hate me so much? So much that you had to lie to ruin my college entrance examination?” Tan Mo’s watery eyes were filled with puzzlement and anguish.

“I didn’t lie to you. I didn’t lie to my cousin!” Yuan Keqing explained to everyone in a panic.

She looked at Wei Keli first, then at Xu Mingjing and Xu Mingzhen.

Tan Mo sniffed while watching. It could be seen that Wei Keli was the most important person in Yuan Keqing’s heart, even ranked ahead of Xu Mingjing.

“Wei Zhiqian had been really injured, seriously injured. This is what I heard Butler Zhou say with my own ears.” Yuan Keqing couldn’t be bothered with Butler Zhou’s warning now. She can’t be discredited by Tan Mo as a liar.

After this, who would believe a word she said?

She can’t be discredited in front of Li Xiangrong and Wei Keli.

In Yuan Keqing’s eyes, Wei Keli is more important than anyone.

“Furthermore, Butler Zhou came to warn me and told me not to speak out about it,” Yuan Keqing hurriedly explained. “If it was a lie, why would Butler Zhou come to warn me to be quiet? Besides, I know Wei Zhiqian was seriously injured. Butler Zhou told me not to leak word of it.”

“Since you were warned not to speak out, then why are you revealing it all right now?” Tan Mo had stopped crying, but her eyelashes were soaked with tears, so her eyelashes seemed to have just been brushed with mascara. With her black, curly eyelashes, red eyes, and red nose, she looked very pitiful.

“I guess we can’t let you know about anything that needs to be kept secret in the future, because we don’t know how many people you will tell afterward.” Tan Mo spoke while maintaining an aggrieved expression.

Yuan Keqing was now fuming with rage.

Tan Mo was clearly the one lying, so why was she so acting so aggrieved?

Wei Zhiqian’s injury had already been revealed, so Xu Mingzhen didn’t care whether Li Xiangrong and Wei Keli were present.

However, she cooperated with Tan Mo in asserting that Wei Zhiqian wasn’t injured badly and asked Yuan Keqing, “Keqing, why did you sabotage Mo Mo’s college entrance examination? Why did you lie to her by saying that Zhiqian was injured?

“You clearly know how good Mo Mo and Zhiqian’s relationship is. After she heard about this, of course she wouldn’t be able to take the exam with any peace of mind, but you still did it. Why?”
