Chapter 676: Brother Zhiqian
A bad premonition loomed over Wei Keli when he saw Wei Zhiqian straighten his back proudly!
His heart began to race like a roller coaster, pounding away in his chest.
Wei Keli looked at Wei Zhiqian.
Hoping for the slightest chance, he said with a sincere smile on his trembling lips, “Great-grandpa, what did uncle accomplish?”
“You didn’t get it?”
The old man thought to himself: ‘I’ve already put it so plainly, but he still didn’t understand. Looks like Wei Keli’s IQ is pretty average.’
“Your uncle has finally succeeded in his pursuit and Momo agreed to be his girlfriend,” Old Madam Wei said with a smile. “Your uncle finally broke away from his single status after so many years.”
Xiao Menghan chimed in, “My sentiments exactly! When Zhiqian was single, we were all anxious for him. Alas, we didn’t expect fate to be right by our sides.”
“Indeed,” the old lady added fearfully, “Luckily Zhiqian has always been single. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been fated to meet Momo.”
Tan Mo had been extremely close to Wei Zhiqian since she was a child. She had always followed him around.
Tan Mo would have witnessed Wei Zhiqian’s romance history.
Whether he had an ex-girlfriend or any exes, she would know it best.
But how could a filthy, old man who had already dated multiple times dream of marrying a young, adorable little girl who had just turned eighteen?
What sort of broad daydream was that!
Had that been the case, not only will Tan Mo and her family reject this marriage, even the two old folks and Wei Mingwen wouldn’t be able to help Wei Zhiqian.
How could he not have any self-awareness of his qualities and have the cheek to covet a young girl?
Xiao Menghan also heaved a sigh of relief as she said, “Yeah, it’s a good thing that he has never dated before, and is a clean man! Otherwise, how could he be worthy of Momo!”
Wei Mingzhong’s family: “…”
Wei Mingxiao’s family: “…”
This pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law matched each other very well.
Sheng Yilan clicked his tongue.
Xiao Menghan knew exactly how to please Old Madam Wei before she entered the Wei family.
No matter what the old lady said, Xiao Menghan would only agree with her.
She would always share the same stances as Old Madam Wei, without fail.
However, it was truly unbelievable that Xiao Menghan could still agree with Old Madam Wei when it came to condemning Wei Zhiqian.
How could a mother despise her child so much?
Moreover, if Wei Zhiqian wanted, he only had to release news of his relations.h.i.+p status and there would be countless young ladies that would flock over.
Yet Wei Zhiqian was the one that was unworthy of Tan Mo?
It was impossible to understand what Old Madam Wei and Xiao Menghan were thinking. They were treating Tan Mo, a completely ordinary girl as if she was a treasure.
Old Mister Wei and Wei Mingwen didn’t have any objections at all.
Wei Keli, on the other hand, stood frozen on the spot. His eyes widened as he looked incredulously at Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo.
He cried out, “But Momo has always addressed him as ‘uncle’!”
This time, it was Tan Mo who spoke. “It’s not like we are blood-related… Besides, Un-”
Tan Mo subconsciously wanted to call him ‘uncle’, but she remembered that Wei Keli was using this as his reb.u.t.tal point.
The Tan family had also used this same reason to object to their relations.h.i.+p when they first found out about her and Wei Zhiqian.
They felt that Tan Mo had been calling Wei Zhiqian ‘uncle’ all this while, so it was a little unprincipled for them to have a relations.h.i.+p with each other.
However, Tan Mo had still been able to address Wei Zhiqian as ‘uncle’ in front of them because she knew that her family members had no ill intentions, and wouldn’t harp on this point.
Thus even until now, she addresses Wei Zhiqian as ‘uncle’ in the presence of her family members.
To them, ‘uncle’ was a nickname.
It was the same as calling Wei Zhiqian a brother or by his name.
However, this didn’t apply to Wei Keli.
Tan Mo paused to change the way she was going to address Wei Zhiqian.
She hesitated for a few seconds but didn’t know what to call him.
Finally, Tan Mo said, “Brother Zhiqian is only a year older than my brother. I also called him ‘brother’ during our first meeting when I was younger.”
Wei Zhiqian did not expect after trying for so many years to get Tan Mo to change and call him ‘Brother Zhiqian’, she would address him as such under this sort of circ.u.mstances.
He thanked Wei Keli mentally.
Otherwise, he did not know when the little girl would finally change the way she called him.
“When… When did you two get together?” Wei Keli asked with a pale face, “Was it after I went to Nacheng?”
If that was the case, then Wei Zhiqian took advantage of his absence to sneak in!
“Why? Do you need me, your uncle, to report this to you?” Wei Zhiqian’s face turned cold.
Wei Keli clenched his fists tightly, remaining silent.
Wei Zhiqian laughed and said, “But there’s nothing hard to explain regarding this matter, ”
Wei Zhiqian looked at Wei Keli with a teasing look in his eyes as he said, “Momo and I have been together for a long time… We were together before you went to Nacheng.”
Wei Keli’s body swayed a little, and he stumbled a little before regaining his balance.
Hearing Wei Zhiqian’s words, Wei Keli faintly felt that something was amiss. It had gone past this head so quickly, he couldn’t quite get it, but he only remembered that something was off.
“Come and sit down,” Old Madam Wei reminded Wei Zhiqian. “You’ve been here for a long time. Why are you keeping Momo standing?”
Wei Zhiqian held Tan Mo’s hand and sat down.
The both of them sat next to each other.
Wei Zhiqian was only 28 years old when he pa.s.sed the New Year, and he hadn’t even celebrated his 28th birthday yet.
According to tradition, he would only be one year older after his birthday.
Not to mention, 28 wasn’t considered very old age.
Compared to the elders present, he was much younger.
However, when sitting here, Wei Zhiqian didn’t lose out at all.
He didn’t look like a junior of the family at all. Instead, he looked as if he was the head of the entire Wei Family.
On the other hand, Tan Mo is young and had a very youthful appearance. She looked extremely delicate and sweet when seated next to Wei Zhiqian.
The two, who clearly had a difference in their aura and age, were unexpectedly well-matched when they sat together.
As Wei Keli looked at the sight before him, a ray of light suddenly appeared in his mind.
He remembered what was it that felt wrong just now.
Tan Mo had been with Wei Zhiqian long before he went to Nacheng.
At that time, Wei Keli had gone to look for Tan Mo, thinking that she was going to marry him.
However, after he went to look for Tan Mo, he received a notice from Weifeng Company asking him to go to Nacheng.
He had yet to work for Weifeng Company yet, but he was dispatched by the company to another city.
It was because Wei Zhiqian couldn’t stand that he had gone to look for Tan Mo!
At that time, Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo were already together.
The two of them were together, but they didn’t say anything. They merely watched as he made a fool out of himself.
Tan Mo didn’t tell him that she was already together with Wei Zhiqian when he went to look for her.
Was it fun to toy with him like this?
The more Wei Keli thought about it, the wilder his thoughts ran.
He started to conjure scenarios that had never happened in his head.
Wei Keli thought about the day he had gone to look for Tan Mo to confess when she came of age..
