Chapter 622: No One Would Cheat Their Grandson Like That

If it was in the past, Wei Zhiqian would have raised his eyebrows and retorted.
But now, he could only lower his eyebrows and say, “But, I’m only one year older than you. You’re Momo’s brother. In terms of seniority, it’s normal for Momo to call me brother. In this way, we’re actually in the same generation.”
Xiao Menghan’s eyebrows jumped. Before Tan Wenci flew into a rage, she hurriedly said, “Then you’re also nine years older than Momo!”
Nine years was actually not a lot.
“Yes.” Wei Zhiqian nodded very obediently. “In the past, although Momo called me uncle, I actually treated Momo like a little sister.”
Everyone in the Tan family sneered. “Hah!”
Listen to his nonsense!
The seniority in the past was clearly divided.
There was a niece, a great-grandfather, and a great-grandmother.
And yet this is treating Momo as his younger sister?
“Momo is young, and I’ve never had any improper thoughts. Otherwise, what would I be? A pervert who likes little girls, am I a beast?” Wei Zhiqian frowned and said with a sullen face.
“Momo is an adult now. She’s an 18-year-old girl,” Wei Zhiqian said.
“Then you’re not a beast anymore?” Tan Jinsheng was furious.
Tan Mo had only become an adult half a year ago!
“I understand if you blame me or are being angry with me. But when things like love come, you really can’t control your heart. I saw Momo grow up and become tall and slim. I don’t know when, but my love for her slowly changed.”
“I used to despise myself. How could I have such feelings for Momo? Even if she was an adult, it wouldn’t do. I used to avoid and distance myself from her. But the more I avoided her, the more I missed her. It was as if a piece of my heart had been gouged out.”
The Tan family was furious when they heard this.
Wei Zhiqian must have used such mushy words to coax Momo!
The old lady had a whole new level of respect for Wei Zhiqian this time.
It wasn’t that her grandson couldn’t find a girlfriend, it was that he had never put in any effort.
Just based on his level of eloquence, it was no wonder that he was in a relations.h.i.+p with Tan Mo now.
But then, the old lady looked at Wei Zhiqian suspiciously.
This kid couldn’t have been waiting for Tan Mo to grow up, right?
“Grandma.” Wei Zhiqian saw through it and said helplessly, “I’m not a pervert. Do you still doubt my character? Before Mo Mo became an adult, I really treated her like a child. I didn’t have any other thoughts.”
Tan Wenci wanted to say that it hadn’t been long since Tan Mo became an adult. It had only been half a year.
So once she became an adult, he began to have thoughts?
“When she comes of age, she will become an adult. It’s not good for me to treat her like a child anymore. Who knew that after I changed my att.i.tude, when I looked at Momo again, I will no longer be able to treat her like a child,” Wei Zhiqian said.
Tan Mo’s palm suddenly felt cold.
She turned her head in surprise, but Wei Zhiqian had indeed let go of her hand and stood up.
Wei Zhiqian stepped back from the chair and stood up straight with a solemn expression.
“I genuinely like Momo, and I’ve never had any dirty thoughts towards her. Before she came of age, I simply treated her as my junior. When I said this, the elders might find it unbelievable and not believe it. But I really do. I’ve never done anything inappropriate with Momo.”
Tan Jinyi thought of something and his expression changed, “When Momo came of age, there were many boys chasing after her in school. At that time, you kept telling us that those people couldn’t do this or that. You could find all kinds of flaws in each of them.”
Tan Jinyi narrowed his eyes. As an artist, he was more meticulous and could catch the details better.
“You even encouraged us to take turns to go to the school to watch those boys who had designs on Momo.” Tan Jinyi narrowed his eyes and said, “Actually, you were using us to eliminate your love rivals.”
The elders were surprised, and Xiao Menghan couldn’t help but exclaim, “Huh?”
They didn’t expect there to be such a thing.
Tan Mo had already heard about it from Qin Muye.
At that time, although she couldn’t be said to be angry, she felt that they were very troublesome, causing her to be unable to move freely in school.
But now that she heard it again, it felt indescribably sweet.
It turned out that uncle already liked her back then, so he dragged her brothers along and tried to chase away all the boys who liked her.
The old lady looked at Wei Zhiqian with a very surprised gaze.
She really could not tell that Wei Zhiqian had such wisdom.
If she had known that he had such ability, she would not have been worried!
No wonder at that time, when he said that he wanted to go on a blind date before, he had stopped in the end.
It turned out that he had found that he liked Tan Mo.
The old lady thought to herself and was suddenly stunned. She asked, “You already liked Momo at that time. Why did you go on a blind date after that?”
Hearing the old lady’s words, Tan Wenci was instantly unhappy. “Great, you already liked Momo, but you still went on a blind date! You’re so fickle, how can we agree to let you two be together!”
Tan Jinsheng looked at Tan Mo who wore an indifferent look and was not mad at all. He was instantly extremely angry.
He said with a tone that was filled with resentment, “He kept saying that he liked you when you turned into an adult. In the end, he turned around and went on a blind date. Aren’t you angry?”
Wei Zhiqian thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had already explained everything to Tan Mo. Otherwise, if the old lady had said that, Tan Mo would have been very angry with him.
He might have just lost his girlfriend.
Wei Zhiqian looked at the old lady with a bitter expression.
No one would betray their grandson like that.
The old lady was not an ordinary person after all. She was very smart.
Wei Zhiqian did not believe that the old lady had accidentally let the cat out of the bag.
Seeing that the old lady was not fl.u.s.tered and had a smile on her face, he knew that the old lady had done it on purpose.
“Mom?” Xiao Menghan also whispered to the old lady.
The old lady then said in a low voice, “Of course I did it on purpose. If he really likes Momo and yet goes on blind dates, even if I’m his grandmother, I can’t let him bully Momo. He’s so old anyway, I’ll just have Momo find a young man of a similar age.”
Xiao Menghan: “…”
Mother-in-law’s words are really direct!
Did she forget that she was Wei Zhiqian’s biological mother?
The old lady’s voice was soft and no one could hear her.
However, Wei Zhiqian’s hearing was exceptional, so he could hear her clearly.
He glanced at the corner of his eye.
Just because of this, he was tricked.
It was clear that in the old lady’s eyes, Tan Mo was much more important than his biological grandson.
Wei Zhiqian decided to tell Tan Mo about this later.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the old man actually nodding in agreement beside the old lady.
Wei Zhiqian: “…”
Did he still have any status in the family?
Wei Zhiqian still explained sincerely, “When Momo first came of age, I hadn’t discovered my feelings for Momo. At that time, I liked Mo Mo in my heart, but I didn’t know.”
“Because I’ve never liked anyone, I didn’t know what it was like to like someone.”
