Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

After their conversation was over, Principal Mu ran away, as if he was afraid of someone stealing the papers Tan Mo had signed.

Everyone: “…”

All the other presidents felt very empty inside. They had made a special visit, but they hadn’t succeeded. It had been a complete waste of time.

Soon they all left dejected.

Wei Keli was still dazedly staring in the direction that Principal Mu had left in.

It had taken him a year of repeating all his classes before reaching Beijing University’s estimated lowest admission score. In reality, this year’s admission score would be hard to predict.

Before the admission score was released, he wouldn’t be able to relax.

Here he was, completely nervous, and Tan Mo was being begged to enroll by the President of Beijing University.

“Mo Mo, you… Didn’t you say that you weren’t satisfied with your exam score?” Wei Keli’s face looked full of anger and disappointment from being deceived by Tan Mo. He had turned very pale.

“Yes.” Tan Mo nodded and said, “The questions were too simple and not challenging at all, so I wasn’t very satisfied.”

Wei Keli: “…”

Qin Muxiao thought this scene was very familiar.

Hadn’t she also been told this during the final exam for the first grade of elementary school?

If one actually believed Tan Mo when said she didn’t do well on an exam, they were sure to be disappointed.

“Didn’t you say that you handed in your paper without finishing it and you didn’t answer the questions with confidence?” Wei Keli asked her again. “You were also crying. Were you just pretending?”

“The saddest thing for me at that time was Yuan Keqing using my Little Uncle’s safety to lie to me.” Tan Mo said, “I couldn’t help crying when I thought of my Little Uncle being in an accident. I checked over my work hurriedly in order to hand in the exam more quickly, and since I did so in such a rushed manner, I didn’t have 100 percent certainty.”

“You…” Wei Keli wanted to ask something else.

“Enough.” Wei Zhiqian interrupted him. “Are you unhappy that Mo Mo got such a good result?”

Facing Wei Zhiqian’s questioning, Wei Keli suddenly recovered his stamina and said, “No, I don’t mean that…”

“From when you first found out to now, you haven’t said a word of congratulations. I think you were in a better mood when you tried to persuade Mo Mo to repeat the grade,” Wei Zhiqian said sternly. “Do you wish that Mo Mo hadn’t done well?”

“No, I don’t.” Wei Keli lowered his head and said, “Of course I hoped that Mo Mo would do well on the exam.”

“Mo Mo just said that she wanted to choose Beijing University, but you guys didn’t believe her.” After speaking, Tan Jinqi’s gaze swept across Wei Keli, Yuan Keqing, and Qin Muxiao coldly. “Now you’re making it seem like she’s in the wrong?”

Yuan Keqing kept pressing on her nails, and then she heard Tan Jinsheng say, “In the face of absolute strength, all schemes are useless. I have finally witnessed this truth with my own eyes.”

How gratifying!

Wasn’t he throwing shade at her?

Out of anger, Yuan Keqing’s bit down on her back teeth so hard that she couldn’t feel any pain anymore.

“Second brother, what do you think going through trouble for nothing feels like?” Although Tan Jinyi was seemingly asking Tan Jinsheng, his eyes looked at Yuan Keqing and his expression was mischievous.

Obviously, although the question was directed at Tan Jinsheng, he had said this for Yuan Keqing to hear.

“I don’t know, since our family has never harmed anyone, I can’t know the feeling of going through so much trouble to harm people for no reason,” Tan Jinsheng said sarcastically.

“Cousin, why didn’t you say how many points you’d scored in the exam just now?” Yuan Keqing asked, looking at Wei Keli.

Wasn’t she just waiting to make a fool of her and Wei Keli?

Wei Keli also reacted.

Yes, Yuan Keqing had asked several times, but Tan Mo had never said anything.

Wasn’t Tan Mo deliberately concealing her score, just to induce them to say something wrong and humiliate themselves afterward?

He had almost been misled by Wei Zhiqian.

At this time, as he looked at Tan Mo again, Wei Keli’s gaze was full of disapproval and anger from being played.

It was just that he concealed it well. Since Wei Zhiqian, Tan Mo’s parents, and Tan Mo’s brothers were all there, Wei Keli dared not show it.

But when he looked at Tan Mo, his expression still showed disapproval.

Tan Mo blinked her eyes and said innocently, “I wanted to give you a surprise.”

“I did so well in the test, especially when there was such a big incident that happened. If it had been someone else, they would have screwed up the exam. However, even though I handed in the exam ahead of time, I still got a perfect score. What a joyous occasion this is. Everyone in my family is very happy for me.”

Qin Muye thought, Tan Mo was showing off again!

Tan Mo tilted her head and said quietly, “I think anyone who genuinely wishes the best for me and is genuinely close to me will be very happy for me.”

“One of you is my cousin and the other is someone who has played with me since childhood and is like a big brother to me.” Tan Mo was afraid that her brothers would get offended, so she omitted the word “real”.

Brother and real brother are two different concepts.

She usually calls him Brother Keli, but he isn’t her real brother nor does she feel close to him.

With that said, Tan Mo turned her head and winked at her three elder brothers to show that these were all superficial pleasantries, so they shouldn’t take it to heart.

The three of them returned her gaze, nodding their heads. They understood.

Tan Mo turned back and continued, “I just saw that you two were so worried about me and really anxious for me, so I was very touched. I wanted to give you two a surprise, so I didn’t say anything right away.

“You two don’t know, but I held back in order to surprise you two, and it made me feel uncomfortable.” Tan Mo looked at Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing quizzically, “But after knowing that I got a perfect score on the exam, your reactions…

Tan Mo continued hesitantly, “Aren’t you two happy for me?”

Yuan Keqing felt suffocated, yet she couldn’t do anything about it.

Anyone who had eyes could see that Tan Mo hadn’t been trying to surprise them.

Tan Mo had deliberately held back in order to make fools of them.

But she couldn’t say a single word about that.

Could she actually say that I’m not happy for you because I don’t feel that you are a part of my family?

“Of course we are happy for you.” Trying to make herself look especially happy for Tan Mo, Yuan Keqing had to squeeze out a big smile that went against everything she was feeling.

The wider the fake smile on her face was, the more resentful and angry she felt inside.

Yuan Keqing couldn’t help feeling angry either. He felt so resentful, yet he still had to pretend that he was happy for Tan Mo.

“Really?” Tan Mo seemed to be incredulous and asked her again as if to confirm what Yuan Keqing had said.

“Of course.” The more enraged Yuan Keqing was, the warmer the smile on her face became.

Tan Mo patted her chest and said with a sigh of relief, “Cousin, because you made me feel uneasy during the last exam and I almost didn’t do well on it, you kept saying sorry toward me, and I felt very guilty. When I saw that I actually got a perfect score on the exam, I thought that since I did a good job on the exam, I should surprise you so that you wouldn’t feel guilty anymore. Even though you riled me up with worry about Wei Zhiqian, I still didn’t perform badly on the exam.”
