Chapter 628: You’ve Finally Done Something Big
“Do you think the Wei elders are blind to this? Can’t Wei Mingwen and his wife see this? However, they didn’t retaliate and let us speak our minds about it.”
“After that, Old Madam Wei even told Zhiqian to come back with us. We were having dinner, so there were many things we wanted to say in front of them, but it was a bad time.” Xu Mingzhen sighed and sniffed. “She asked Zhiqian to come back with us so that we could scold him without holding back. On account of Momo, Zhiqian would never go back and say anything to the two elders and his parents.”
“In fact, our att.i.tude over dinner was already too much.” Xu Mingzhen said, “Momo might be our daughter, but Zhiqian is also the elders’ grandson and Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan’s son. How would they feel about the disdain we had for Zhiqian?”
“Regardless of Zhiqian’s age, he is the next head of the Wei family and the CEO of Wei Feng. He represents the entire Wei family. Even though he is well-respected everywhere, we despised him. What would the Wei family think? However, they were understanding and knew we were merely showing concern towards Momo and didn’t take it to heart.”
“They have shown nothing but concern for us. Even if we only do it for the sake of Zhiqian’s parents and grandparents, we can’t continue to despise Zhiqian,” Xu Mingzhen reminded.
“In every aspect, Zhiqian is indeed the best. Even if you try, can you find someone better than him?” Xu Mingzhen said, “We don’t know or understand those other boys. Who knows if they are really as good as they seem? They might just look good on the outside, but they are actually rotten on the inside. Wouldn’t we end up doing Momo an injustice? If she were to date Zhiqian, at least we have known him ever since he was 15 years old. He often comes over, so we have a good understanding of his temperament.”
“In hindsight, I don’t have concerns about Momo being together with Zhiqian.”
Tan Wenci stiffened and sighed, “You’re right. It didn’t occur to me at all. I have you to thank for reminding me.”
Xu Mingzhen smiled and said, “You manage such a large corporation with ease, so I am sure you know these things. You were just blinded by worry for Momo.”
“Then tomorrow…”Tan Wenci gritted his teeth and said, “When the kid comes again, shall we say yes?”
Xu Mingzhen pursed her lips and smiled as she said, “It’s fine if we agree, but we can’t agree so readily. Although we have the a.s.surance that Zhiqian won’t let Momo suffer, we have to make Zhiqian remember that Momo didn’t come easily so that he will cherish her.”
“Besides…” Xu Mingzhen hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, “Momo is still young, but Zhiqian is almost 30. Men… always have that kind of need. Didn’t you hear what Zhiqian said? He has never had a girlfriend before, nor does he have that kind of experience. His private life is very clean. Since we are on close terms, we naturally know about it.”
“He…”Xu Mingzhen found it difficult to speak. “To put it bluntly, he’s still a virgin!”
“He has just found himself a girlfriend, so it’s a legitimate relations.h.i.+p. How can he endure it now? He’s just a young man, so he is full of vigor. It’s very easy for him to lead Momo astray.”
Fortunately, Wei Zhiqian was not around. Otherwise, he would have a thing or two to say to Wen Ci and Xu Mingzhen.
Previously, they complained about his old age.
In the end, he was deemed a young man when it came to such matters.
What kind of double standard was this?
“Momo is still young. It’s too early for her to…” Xu Mingzhen was too embarra.s.sed to continue.
However, Tan Wenci knew what his wife was driving at.
“You are right.” Tan Wenci nodded. “We still have to keep an eye on them! Being in love is one thing, but no hanky panky is allowed. They cannot cross the line.”
Seeing that Tan Wenci understood what she was driving at, Xu Mingzhen nodded. “If Zhiqian comes back tomorrow, we’ll explain our intentions to him clearly.”
Tan Wenci nodded and the matter was all settled.
However, his daughter, who had just grown up, had been coaxed by Wei Zhiqian into becoming his girlfriend, so Tan Wenci still could not get over it.
At night, Tan Wenci tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Of course, it was another story for another time.
After Wei Zhiqian left the Tan family home, he went straight to the company instead of returning to the old residence.
On the way to the company, he gave the old residence a call and explained the situation to his grandparents and his parents.
“Tan Mo’s family simply dotes on her too much. That’s why they’re unwilling to let their daughter, who had just become an adult, start seeing someone else so soon. Although I followed them back, they didn’t scold me much. It certainly couldn’t compare to what they mentioned at our house. From the looks of it, Auntie and Uncle have already given in inside their hearts, but just need sometime accepting it,” said Wei Zhiqian. He was also afraid that the two elders and their parents would have a problem with the tan family.
After all, all parents treasured their children.
Considering Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen’s att.i.tude, he thought no matter how open-minded his grandparents and parents were, they would inevitably be a little unhappy.
Old Madam Tan unexpectedly smiled and said, “I already feel they were being kind. Don’t you know how old you are? In any case, age is secondary. If we had a little girl and a man were to protect her every day ever since she was six years old and turned our little girl into his girlfriend the moment she was an adult, your grandfather, and your father were bound to hit him with a stick and drive him away!”
Wei Zhiqian went quiet.
The old man and his father wouldn’t drive him out of the house, would they?
“Grandma, you said that once I had a girlfriend, I could enter the house, “Wei Zhiqian said. “Now that I have one, do you still want to drive me away?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” The old lady scoffed, “I was simply suggesting the things that would happen if we had a little girl. Does it look like we have a girl in the family now? In any case, our daughter did not run off with a man. It’s you who convinced the girl to date you, so it’s quite different.”
“After all these years, you have finally accomplished something big.” Old Madam Tan clearly sounded happy over the phone.
Wei Zhiqian went quiet.
Since he was young, he had performed well in every area.
Why did his grandmother feel this was the only important thing he had accomplished all this time?
Of course, Wei Zhiqian also felt this was the biggest thing he had done.
“Momo is just too young. She is getting the short end of the stick by dating you,” the old lady complained.
Wei Zhiqian did not know what to say.
Luckily, he couldn’t see the other end of the phone. When Xiao Menghan heard Old Madam Wei’s words, she nodded her head vigorously in agreement. This fully showed that she couldn’t agree more with the old lady’s words.
Otherwise, Wei Zhiqian would be even more depressed.
“However, I still feel that it’s better than finding someone else. We’ve watched the little girl grow up and understand her. Momo is smart and cute. She’s also close to us.” The old lady was very satisfied.
Seeing that the elders didn’t mind the Tan family’s att.i.tude, he was relieved.
Wei Zhiqian went straight to Zhou Jingan’s office when he got to the company.
There were five other people sitting in Zhou Jingan’s office, all busy with their computers..
