Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

But Tan Mo didn’t want to hear Yuan Keqing pretending to apologize at all.

Therefore, without giving Yuan Keqing an opportunity to speak, she raised her head and asked Wei Zhiqian, “Little Uncle, why are you here?”

How did he know they were here?

How did he know the address of Old Madame Xu’s home?

Tan Mo had some questions.

Wei Zhiqian reached out to wipe the tears away from Tan Mo’s face.

Children’s skin is very delicate so he dared not touch it too much, for fear that his fingers would be too rough and hurt Tan Mo.

Then Wei Zhiqian said, “Grandma missed you, so I went to your house to find you, but your housekeeper said that you had come here, so I came here to find you.”

Wei Zhiqian had originally wanted to apologize for coming over without any warning and disturbing them on a holiday.

But now that he’d seen the current situation, Wei Zhiqian didn’t want to apologize anymore.

He was acting as if Tan Mo’s family did not exist, and he said to Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, “My grandmother’s head is hurting again. It’s not too serious, but she’s constantly in pain so it’s quite tormenting. She thought of Mo Mo. When Mo Mo was there before, her head stopped hurting.

“Although I know it was just a coincidence,” Wei Zhiqian continued, “Mo Mo is so cute, it would also be good for her to coax Grandma and take her mind off her headache. That’s why I came here.

Wei Zhiqian kept talking in a serious manner, “I wonder if I could take Mo Mo to the old mansion? This is a somewhat presumptuous request for New Year’s Eve, but in order for the Old Madame to be more comfortable, I want to ask Uncle and Auntie to agree to my wayward request. I will definitely apologize in person some day.”

Although Wei Zhiqian had asked Tan Mo to call him Little Uncle, he really didn’t have the courage to make Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen call him brother-in-law.

So…he would just let them be.

After listening to this, the Tan family’s brothers thought, Wei Zhiqian still wants to come to the Tan family?

Tan Wenci replied, “If the Old Madame is uncomfortable and wants to see Mo Mo, Mo Mo should go, but it isn’t necessary for you to come to our door and apologize.”

You must never come!

Wei Zhiqian acted as if he couldn’t discern the refusal in Tan Wenci’s words and he said, “I wonder if Uncle and Auntie have any other arrangements. If not, could you two go with me also? I think that if you two and Mo Mo’s brothers are also there, she will be more comfortable in the environment.”

The Tan family hadn’t expected to be invited to go also.

If Wei Zhiqian hadn’t suggested it, they would have been embarrassed to take the initiative.

After all, that is where the the old mansion of the Wei family is, and it’s not a casual place.

Tan Wenci was afraid that Wei Zhiqian would go back on his words, so he picked up Xu Mingzhen’s bag and stuffed it into Xu Mingzhen’s hands. “All right, all right, we should go to the Old Madame to pay our New Year’s greetings.”

Then he turned and spoke to Xu Mingzhen in a low voice, “Are you coming?”

If all her family members went, it would be silly for her to stay here alone.

Even without this consideration, Xu Mingzhen didn’t want to stay here and be at the mercy of Old Madame Xu’s whims either.

She was very happy to have an excuse to leave.

“Of course.” Xu Mingzhen turned and said to Old Madame Xu, “Mom, we are not at ease letting Mo Mo go alone, so we will leave now.”

They had already paid their visit to her mother anyway.

That was enough.

Although Old Madame Xu was biased, she was not stupid.

How could she let him just leave? She said quickly, “Why be in such a hurry? How about leaving after Young Master Wei has finished lunch here?”

Old Madame Xu spoke very naturally.

Xu Mingzhen sneered. Is it possible that Old Madame Xu plans to have them take Yuan Zhengwen’s family with them?

“Old Madame Xu, please watch your words,” Wei Zhiqian said coldly. “My grandma is still ill at home, and you told me to go home after eating here. Are you trying to have me be unfilial?”

“No, no, I definitely didn’t mean that.” Old Madam Xu waved her hands quickly.

“I can’t stay any longer.” Wei Zhiqian hugged Tan Mo to him and said coldly, “Farewell.”

Then he turned around and left.

From arriving to leaving, apart from scolding Yuan Keqing, he never said anything else to anyone.

The Tan family was afraid that Wei Zhiqian would snatch Tan Mo away so they couldn’t even be bothered to say good-bye to Old Madame Xu, and they hurried after Wei Zhiqian to leave the house.

Yuan Zhengwen didn’t want to let go of this opportunity. He didn’t know when he would meet Wei Zhiqian again.

It would definitely be impossible for the Tan family to introduce them.

Therefore, Yuan Zhengwen pulled on Xu Mingjing and said, “Don’t sit there in a daze. Let’s get going!”

Yuan Keqing reacted much faster than Xu Mingjing. She had already gone to the door.

She couldn’t even be bothered with feeling sad because of Yuan Zhengwen’s behavior just now.

Letting Yuan Zhengwen drag her away, Xu Mingjing really didn’t know how to react.

In a short period of time, only the Old Madame and the housekeepers were left looking at each other.

The living room suddenly became empty and quiet.

The New Year’s celebration fell through just like that

“Young Master Wei! Young Master Wei!” Yuan Zhengwen was annoyed by Xu Mingjing’s slow speed, so he loosened his grip on her and rushed after Wei Zhiqian.

Before Wei Zhiqian could get into the car, he stopped him.

“Young Master Wei, let us go to the Old Madame to pay a New Year’s greeting,” Yuan Zhengwen said with a smarmy smile.

“No need,” Wei Zhiqian said coldly.

“No, no, no, if we don’t visit despite knowing that the Old Madame is feeling unwell, that would be inappropriate,” Yuan Zhengwen said, rubbing his hands together.

“If you go, the Old Madame would be even more uncomfortable,” Wei Zhiqian said with a stern expression on his face. “Don’t you understand? The Wei family doesn’t welcome you.”

After finishing speaking, disregarding how ugly Yuan Zhengwen’s facial expression had become, he took Tan Mo and got into the car.

The Tan family also got in his car, ignoring how embarrassed Yuan Zhengwen was.

“This Yuan Zhengwen is really getting in the way!” Tan Wenci had asked his driver to get ready, but he complained to his family in the car, “I originally planned to take Mo Mo over myself. But now, because I was afraid of being harassed by Yuan Zhengwen, I had to hurry up and leave. I didn’t have time to take Mo Mo.”

If Wei Zhiqian hugs Tan Mo like that, he certainly won’t let go of her easily.

There will be another round of tug of war when the time comes…

With Yuan Zhengwen on the sidelines, it was just one more thing to handle.

In the car, Tan Wenci felt as if the New Year wasn’t very celebratory anymore.

“Little Uncle, does the Old Madame have a terrible headache?” Tan Mo asked.

Before, she’d wanted to help the Old Madame cure her headache, but she hadn’t been able to find a suitable excuse to approach her. It was not as if she could directly say that she was going to treat the Old Madame.

Who would believe it?

Unexpectedly, this time the Old Madame had a headache, and she’d thought of her.

“It’s not very painful, but it’s lasted a long time, so it’s very tormenting,” Wei Zhiqian explained. “Grandma is usually treated by a doctor. Generally, she gets a headache once every two or three months. The duration of the pain is variable, but it’s always at least a few hours.”

“It must be very uncomfortable for her.” Just thinking about it, Tan Mo felt that it must be torturous.

This kind of slow, long-lasting pain was the most torturous. It is better to have short-term severe pain that disappeared quickly.

“It’s okay this time. She hasn’t had any pain for nearly half a year,” Wei Zhiqian said. “The doctors think that Grandma’s disease can really be cured. Unexpectedly, she started to experience pain again today. It happened during the Chinese New Year, and many people had come to pay New Year’s greetings, and Grandma couldn’t see them.
