They have three sons. They are not afraid to get into a fight.
1
Xu Mingzhen was starting to feel as if her three sons could be of use.
The only drawback was that if they did get into a fight, it would not look good for the family.
At exactly that time, the doorbell rang.
Xu Mingzhen held her head in her hands for a moment.
Who has come to add to this mess? Why did they choose to come tonight?
Auntie Guo went to the door to have a look and Yuan Zhengwen took the opportunity to say, “Oh, it seems as if you have guests. I guess it will be best for you to agree with what we want quickly. If you don’t, we will not leave.”
Xu Mingzhen was beyond mad.
These people were completely shameless!
However, after a while, Auntie Guo returned with an expression of relief and even excitement as she said, “Young Master Wei is here.”
Even Auntie Guo felt that Wei Zhiqian was reliable.
If Wei Zhiqian was here, then there was nothing he could not settle.
It was Wei Zhiqian who had stopped Yuan Keqing and caused her to miss her examination, but the Yuan family wouldn’t dare approach the Wei family so they were taking it out on the Tan family instead.
As expected, the Yuan family’s faces dropped when they heard the words Wei Zhiqian.
Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing had panicked expressions.
While Yuan Zhengwen just looked guilty.
After a short moment, Wei Zhiqian and Zhou Jingan entered the house.
Wei Zhiqian was moving slowly and had even stopped to change into slippers.
Xu Mingzhen said, “Come on in directly. There is no need to change into slippers.”
“It would not be good to dirty your floors,” Wei Zhiqian said and he smiled.
“It’s all right. They are already dirty.” Xu Mingzhen glanced at the Yuan family.
The trio of course hadn’t bothered to change into slippers.
Wei Zhiqian appeared to have just noticed the trio and said in shock, “Oh! Is my arrival bad timing?”
“No, no, you came at the perfect time,” Tan Wenci said. “They are here to settle scores with us because you had people blocking Yuan Keqing’s path and caused her to miss an examination. They said that since Yuan Keqing missed the examination, she will be unable to enter Beijing University. They were insisting that Mo Mo should ask President Mu to accept Yuan Keqing for her.”
Wei Zhiqian stuck to his values and continued to change into slippers before entering.
Zhou Jingan therefore followed suit and entered after changing into slippers.
Wei Zhiqian stood beside Tan Mo and placed an arm on her shoulder, offering secure protection to her.
He then laughed. “It was I who had people blocking your path, preventing Yuan Keqing from taking the examination. You didn’t come and find me and instead approached the Tan family. What is this kind of reasoning?”
The trio did not dare to even open their mouths. They did not dare to even look at Wei Zhiqian.
They’d picked on what they saw as the easy target, yet were afraid of someone stronger.
They reckoned that even if the Tan family was angry with them, they wouldn’t dare to do anything to them.
“They said that you had stopped her because you wanted to seek revenge for Mo Mo. The root of the problem was Mo Mo, therefore Mo Mo must be responsible for Yuan Keqing not taking the exam.” The Yuan family did not dare to make a single sound at this time. Tan Jinyi curled his lips into a sneer and explained what they had said.
Did they think that nothing would happen if they didn’t speak?
That would be impossible.
“Did you say that?” Wei Zhiqian turned to ask Zhou Jingan.
“Of course not. I said clearly that it was because Yuan Keqing had used your getting injured as an excuse to affect Tan Mo.” Zhou Jingan smiled. “It was Yuan Keqing who made use of you, and that was why you took revenge on her. Otherwise, anyone would dare to make use of you. Who is Yuan Keqing to make use of you? She is not worthy!”
“You heard that! It had nothing to do with our Mo Mo!” Tan Jinsheng was so incensed that he practically spat at them.
“Moreover, we only stopped her for one exam. We also told her that if she behaved and didn’t create trouble, we would only stop her once, and she could still repeat her studies and take the examination next year,” Zhou Jingan continued.
“If you are not able to succeed this year, then just continue working hard next year.” Wei Zhiqian raised his brows. “Don’t act as if you only had a chance this year.”
The Yuan family were quaking in their boots by this time.
They did not dare to refute him no matter what Wei Zhiqian said.
“Go.” Wei Zhiqian waved his hand similarly to how you chase away flies. “In the future, don’t come and hara.s.s these people ever again.”
After looking at the Yuan family for a moment longer, Wei Zhiqian smirked. “Don’t think that I’m not able to keep an eye on what goes on here and that you’ll be able to sneak over some day.
“You can try all you want, but f you dare to come again, I will post a group surrounding your house and they will be there from morning till night every day. If you dare to come twice, there will be another group surrounding your company. Again, it will be from morning till night every day.”
Wei Zhiqian knows well how to deal with unprincipled people. Shameless methods must be used.
He and Zhou Jingan had been waiting outside the Tan Mansion for the whole time that the Yuan family had been inside.
Wei Zhiqian had used his extraordinary hearing to listen to the conversation in the Tan Mansion.
He had guessed that Xu Mingzhen’s tolerance for Xu Mingjing was at its limit.
In the future, no matter what the Yuan family asked for, Xu Mingzhen would no longer agree.
Wei Zhiqian then entered with Zhou Jingan.
“You can’t do this!” Yuan Zhengwen’s expression changed, and he finally spoke his first sentence since Wei Zhiqian’s arrival.
“If you come and hara.s.s the Tan family, then I can send rogues to find you,” Wei Zhiqian said coldly.
Xu Mingjing flushed red. “We are not rogues, you…you are treating us like shameless rogues.”
“It is good for people to have self-knowledge.” Wei Zhiqian raised his brow. “The knowledge you have of yourselves is not accurate.”
Wei Zhiqian did not want to bother talking to them anymore. “So, are you leaving?”
Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing looked at Yuan Zhengwen and waited for his decision.
Yuan Zhengwen gritted his teeth and said, “We will leave.”
The Yuan family then left, with grim faces and a gloomy aura.
Xu Mingzhen finally heaved a sigh of relief and felt embarra.s.sed. “How did I get involved with this family?”
“I see that they are people who would take a mile if given an inch. If you agree once, they will ask for more,” Wei Zhiqian said.
“You can put your mind at ease. I definitely will not have any contact with them anymore.” Because of her relations.h.i.+p with Xu Mingjing, she had caused her husband and daughter to suffer.
Xu Mingzhen herself felt that she had let her family down.
With Xu Mingzhen’s words, Wei Zhiqian’s objective this time had been met.
It was all thanks to the Yuan family and their shamelessness.
“Oh, are you having a meal now?” Wei Zhiqian could smell the aroma from the dining room.
“Yes, we were.” Wei Zhiqian had done such a pleasant thing to seek revenge for Tan Mo.
Although that had caused the Yuan family to come to their house and hara.s.s them, it had not been Wei Zhiqian’s fault. Moreover, Wei Zhiqian had arrived swiftly to settle the situation.
It was not good for the Tan family to fall out with him.
“We had just started our meal when the Yuan family arrived,” Xu Mingzhen could not be bothered to mention Xu Mingjing.
Xu Mingzhen felt guilty because she had placed her sisterhood first and the Tan family second.
She would of course now put the Tan family first and the sisterhood second.
“However, they were here for so long the dishes have turned cold,” Xu Mingzhen said. Then she asked, “Have you eaten yet?”
Judging from the time Wei Zhiqian and Zhou Jingan arrived, they had probably skipped mealtime to come here.
