Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Yuan Keqing turned around and said to Li Xiangrong, “Aunt, you must know about Wei Zhiqian’s hospitalization.”

“This…” Li Xiangrong hesitated.

At this time, the doorbell rang.

Auntie Guo quickly went to see who was at the door.

The next thing they heard was Auntie Guo’s surprised voice saying, “Madame, Young Master Wei is at the door.”

“You don’t need to go to the hospital now.” Tan Jinsheng sneered derisively.

Auntie Guo quickly opened the door for Wei Zhiqian.

Xu Mingzhen got up and went to the door. Li Xiangrong went also with Wei Keli.

Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing couldn’t just stand by and watch.

Therefore, they also went to the door.

Yuan Keqing stood behind Xu Mingjing. She wished she could dig a hole in the ground to hide in so that she wouldn’t be seen by Wei Zhiqian.

Why had Wei Zhiqian come?

This doesn’t seem right. From Butler Zhou’s reaction, Wei Zhiqian had obviously been injured very badly.

He had been undergoing an operation in the hospital the day before yesterday. Everything else aside, it takes time to recover from an operation. It’s impossible that he would be discharged today.

What exactly was going on?

Li Xiangrong was also baffled.

She had known that Wei Zhiqian was hospitalized, but she didn’t know about anything else.

It wasn’t clear whether it was because of injury or illness.

He had just been hospitalized the day before yesterday. Now he’d come out today. Was this some sort of joke?

Maybe he hadn’t been either injured or sick.

What is Wei Zhiqian up to?

Just as she was thinking about it, Wei Zhiqian came in with Butler Zhou following closely behind him.

From Wei Zhiqian’s appearance, it didn’t look as if he had been injured. There were no signs of any injury at all.

Not to mention Yuan Keqing and others who didn’t know about the situation, even Xu Mingzhen, who had seen Wei Zhiqian’s pale face when he had been pushed out of the operating room by a nurse, and the three brothers of the Tan family, who had seen him wearing bandages and a hospital gown, saw no trace of any injury on Wei Zhiqian’s body.

If even the Tan family couldn’t tell that he’d been injured, it was no wonder that other people couldn’t tell either.

“Little Uncle!” Tan Mo exclaimed in surprise as she was about to throw herself into Wei Zhiqian’s arms.

Unexpectedly, just as she ran two steps toward Wei Zhiqian, she was stopped by Tan Jinqi.

Even if Wei Zhiqian didn’t appear injured on the outside, it didn’t mean that he was really completely healed.

If Tan Mo pounced on him, she might ruin things.

His injuries might be exposed.

“You’re already a teenager now, so you can no longer throw yourself into his arms like you did when you were a child.” Tan Jinqi hugged Tan Mo and said, “Throw yourself into my arms instead.”

“Mine too.”

“Mine too.”

Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi chimed in, for fear that Tan Mo would forget about them.

Wei Zhiqian: “…”

Had he been her Little Uncle for nine years in vain?

“Little Uncle, why have you come back again?” Tan Mo had been stopped by Tan Jinqi, so she stretched her neck out and tried her best to lean toward Wei Zhiqian.

Although she wasn’t in Wei Zhiqian’s arms, her heart was.

Tan Jinqi: “…”

Tan Mo acting like this made him seem like a villain.

Tan Jinqi simply let go and stopped restraining her.

Tan Mo immediately jumped over in front of Wei Zhiqian.

Wei Zhiqian raised his hand and touched his earlobe. Tan Mo immediately understood what he meant.

It turned out that Wei Zhiqian had heard everything, so he’d hurried back.

Wei Zhiqian had come all the way back here just to expose Yuan Keqing. How touching!

Tan Mo was happy, but she suddenly felt a sullen aura behind her.

She looked back and saw that her three older brothers were looking at her sullenly.

When her Little Uncle was around, she abandoned her brothers.

Even Tan Jinqi, who was usually the most levelheaded, cunning, and composed, had a blatantly sullen expression on his face.

Tan Mo: “…”

How come she felt as if it was becoming harder and harder to be a middle-of-the-road person?

Xu Mingzhen said to Yuan Keqing with a cold expression on her face, “What else do you have to say? Zhiqian is standing here, yet you still won’t admit that you deliberately lied to Mo Mo? You still won’t admit that you called her on purpose to disturb her and make her unable to concentrate on the exam?”

Yuan Keqing couldn’t figure out what was going on.

Yes, she had called Tan Mo with bad intentions.

But she hadn’t lied.

Previously she had been very confident that even if Xu Mingzhen interrogated her, she would have nothing to be afraid of.

She had been telling the truth, so even if Xu Mingzhen felt unhappy, she couldn’t do much to her.

But now, it seemed as if she had actually lied.

Yuan Keqing felt extremely wronged.

“I really didn’t lie…” Yuan Keqing felt wronged and at a loss for words as she said, “I don’t know what’s going on…”

“Sister,” Xu Mingjing interrupted Yuan Keqing’s words and said to Xu Mingzhen, “I believe Keqing certainly did not deliberately try to cause Mo Mo to screw up the exam. She must have misheard things. Her calling Mo Mo before the exam was reckless…

“Keqing, apologize to Mo Mo!” Xu Mingjing pulled Yuan Keqing out from behind her.

“Cousin…” In this situation, Yuan Keqing had no choice but to apologize.

“No need.” Xu Mingzhen interrupted her in a cold voice. “Even if she apologizes, it won’t be sincere. No doubt she will still try to set Mo Mo up in the future. I really don’t want to listen to this apology.”

Things have reached this point where Wei Zhiqian himself stood in front of them as proof.

However, Xu Mingjing still wouldn’t admit that Yuan Keqing had lied, nor that Yuan Keqing had deliberately tried to sabotage Tan Mo’s college entrance examination.

What else was there to talk about?

Xu Mingzhen didn’t even want to bother keeping up the slightest pretense of cordiality.

“Mingjing, you can go home with Keqing.” Xu Mingzhen did not intend to allow them to hold onto their pride in front of Li Xiangrong, Wei Keli, and Wei Zhiqian. “In the future, don’t bring her here again.

“Keqing can’t afford to provoke her cousin,” Xu Mingzhen continued coldly. “In the future, there will be no need to participate in anything related to Mo Mo under the guise of cheering for Mo Mo or being concerned about Mo Mo.”

“Sister!” Xu Mingjing was shocked and sad as she said, “Are you severing ties with us in the future?”

“If this means Yuan Keqing will never bother Mo Mo again, then yes.” Xu Mingzhen said without hesitation.

“You won’t even interact with me, your sister?” Xu Mingjing asked in disbelief.

“It’s human nature to protect your own children.” Xu Mingzhen took a deep breath and continued. “Knowing that she did something wrong, you still protect her and refuse to admit it. Instead of educating her, you let her continue to harm others. How dare I interact with someone like you? You think that only your child is precious, so even if she hurts someone, you still protect her. My child got sabotaged by her and has to swallow it and act as if nothing has happened and continue to be trampled on by you all?

“With a clear conscience, I can declare that I have never done anything I should feel sorry about to you. I did everything I could do for you. However, Mo Mo is off limits. I can let bygones be bygones in regards to other matters, but if it concerns Mo Mo, no way!

“I might as well say it more bluntly. As long as Yuan Keqing is still trying to harm Mo Mo and you choose to ignore it or refuse to admit it, then we don’t have to acknowledge each other as sisters.”
