Chapter 496: The Same Conclusion
Tan Jinqi was silent a moment.
No matter how he interpreted this sentence, he felt that it was odd.
It was as if Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian were a family.
“Since I will be picking you up, then you don’t have to trouble him to go over,” Tan Jinqi said. “Otherwise, Wei Zhiqian would make a wasted trip.”
“Uh…” Tan Mo thought for a moment and said, “I will ask him about it.”
Tan Jinqi was speechless.
Were his words as the eldest brother no longer useful?
Did she have to ask Wei Zhiqian his opinion about this?
How was it Wei Zhiqian’s business for Tan Mo to go eat dinner at her own home?
Tan Jinqi was depressed.
After she hung up the call, Tan Mo called Wei Zhiqian.
“You are right.” Wei Zhiqian was comforted to hear that now, even if she faced Tan Jinqi, her heart was biased toward him. His heart felt full and was very satisfied.
“I will follow the original plan to pick you up later and go back to your home together. It’ll be nice. I can have dinner at your place too,” Wei Zhiqian said with a smile.
“Okay,” Tan Mo happily agreed and relayed the message to Tan Jinqi.
Tan Jinqi was shocked.
How did Wei Zhiqian brainwash Tan Mo during this period when he was busy with work?
However, what Tan Jinqi did not know was that Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo actually had generated some chemistry in their hearts.
Although, neither of them had ever mentioned it.
But they thought the same thing.
Wei Zhiqian drove the car, which had appeared in the post’s photos, to wait at the entrance of the university and let the students at Beijing University look at it again.
After everyone looked at it many times and was used to it, they would not make a fuss out about it anymore.
The previous afternoon, Wei Zhiqian had driven the car onto the school grounds.
Many students came to watch below Tan Mo’s dormitory building.
However, it was not a case in which every student came over.
Many students heard about it but did not see it with their own eyes.
It was nice that he could see it today while it was still a hot topic. It was good to let the students who did not see the car with their own eyes see it personally.
Neither of them mentioned this thought explicitly before.
This was Wei Zhiqian’s thought. Plus, he wanted to see Tan Mo, so he drove the car over to get her.
When Tan Mo heard that Wei Zhiqian wanted to come over, she thought that it was not a bad opportunity. She happily agreed without telling this idea to Wei Zhiqian.
But they had come to the same conclusion.
“Eldest Brother, actually, I have a reason for him to pick me up.” Tan Mo was helpless and could only tell Tan Jinqi first about what happened in school.
After Tan Jinqi heard about it, as expected, he pushed away the matter of arguing about Wei Zhiqian finding Tan Mo.
“Why didn’t you tell us about such a big incident?” Tan Jinqi asked anxiously.
“Didn’t I tell you at the first instance?” Tan Mo quickly coaxed him. “I was busy with the investigation last night and caught Lin f.u.xi this morning today. The evidence was sufficient. I also did not expect that my action would be so fast. I was unable to tell our family in time and had already resolved the issue.”
Tan Jinqi remained silent.
He felt that their family was increasingly useless.
When something happened, Tan Mo was able to resolve it herself and did not need their help.
“So, I was thinking that he can drive the car and make his presence known in school so that everyone can see it and get used to it. In the future, if something similar happens again, no one will believe it,” Tan Mo explained.
“All right,” Tan Jinqi agreed with some disappointment.
When Tan Mo met with trouble, it was fine if they were unable to help.
But they should not drag her down at this moment.
“Momo,” Tan Jinqi said sadly.
“Eldest Brother, what is it?”
“Although there are many things that our family may not be able to help with, we still want to know your situation at the first moment.” Tan Jinqi’s voice was dry. “We were not able to help, and you still had to find time to tell us about this matter and waste your time in investigating. I know that I am too willful to say this, and I am being unreasonable. I…”
“Eldest Brother,” Tan Mo understood Tan Jinqi’s meaning, “it is my fault. It was me who neglected our family.”
She had gotten busier in school. As she joined more research teams, the time she could spend with her family lessened.
When she met with trouble, she could settle it on her own. It was a good thing as she had grown up.
That did not mean that she could neglect her family and not let them know at the first instance.
Tan Mo started to reflect on herself.
Moreover, what she did had caused her eldest brother, who had always been confident, to be doubtful of his own ability.
“Moreover, it was not that our family could not help,” Tan Mo said. “Because this matter was easy to solve, there was no need to get our family’s help.”
“But I know where my fault is. No matter what, I should have let our family know,” Tan Mo said with a lowered head.
“You have grown up, and you have the ability to protect yourself, which is a good thing. You are no longer like when you were young and protected by our family,” Tan Jinqi said quietly. “We are all older than you. When our parents pa.s.s away and your other brothers and I are no longer around, you will be able to take care of yourself well when you are alone, which is something that we would be relieved about.”
“However, since we are still around, we can still partic.i.p.ate,” Tan Jinqi said. “No matter what we can do, even if it is something small, as long as we can help you, we can run errands and listen to your instructions.”
“Er.” Tan Mo nodded her head. “I know, I had thought wrongly in the past.”
“Eldest Brother, I will tell Dad, Mom, Second Brother, and Third Brother about this. You must help me out. They will certainly be very angry that I told them after resolving the situation.”
“You also know that,” Tan Jinqi said helplessly. “All right, I will speak up for you.”
“Thank you, Eldest Brother!” Tan Jinqi had forgiven her.
After Tan Mo’s explanation, Tan Jinqi could not have an adverse opinion about Wei Zhiqian picking Tan Mo up from school anymore.
At 5:45 p.m., Tan Mo prepared to set off to the school entrance to wait for Wei Zhiqian.
It was some distance from the dormitory to the school entrance.
If she had left at 6:000 p.m., Wei Zhiqian would need to wait quite a while for her at the school entrance.
She did not expect that when she had just picked up her bag to head downstairs, Wei Zhiqian would call.
“I am below your dormitory,” Wei Zhiqian said when Tan Mo picked up the call.
Tan Mo’s first reaction was to run to the balcony. When she looked down, Wei Zhiqian was there.
His phone was still against his ear. He raised his hand to wave toward her when he saw her.
“I was ready to leave,” Tan Mo quickly said. “I come down now.”
“No need to hurry,” Wei Zhiqian said.
Tan Mo heard it, but she acted as if she did not and rushed downstairs after she hung up.
“Why are you here so early?” He had to leave at least an hour ago from his company.
“I was looking forward to picking you up, so I increased the pace,” Wei Zhiqian explained casually.
