Chapter 841 Equally Shameless Yet Extremely Confident
Tan Mo did not doubt it at all.
Wei Keli indeed perceived himself to be so excellent and confident.
She got rid of Wei Keli’s pestering after much difficulty and she did not want Wei Keli to misunderstand her and pester her again just because she said a few more words.
That was disgusting. Yuan Keqing never expected that Tan Mo would reveal the past as soon as she arrived.
Wasn’t she afraid of losing face by saying that?
Wasn’t she afraid that the elders of the Wei family would think that she was making a scene with her relatives?
Everyone liked to see relatives getting along with each other.
“Cousin Sister, can’t we resolve the misunderstandings in the past in private?” Compared to Tan Mo’s direct criticism, Yuan Keqing’s words seemed much more righteous.
“Why do you have to make things so unpleasant here? We’re sisters, there’s nothing that can’t be resolved. I apologize to you for what I did wrong in the past.” Yuan Keqing looked at Tan Mo, “After we go back, we’ll have a good, honest chat and clear the air once in for all.”
“The two of us have been playing together since we were young and grew up together. Cousin Sister, I don’t want to make things unpleasant with you.” Yuan Keqing looked at Tan Mo, then at Wei Keli. “Furthermore, after I’m together with Brother Keli, aren’t we getting even closer in the future? We’re originally a family, even after we get married, in our in-law’s home, we’ll still be a family. We’ll take care of each other. How good would that be?”
In private, Yuan Keqing still called Wei Keli ‘Brother’.
The word ‘Brother’ that came out of her mouth was especially gentle.
Wei Keli liked to hear her call him that.
It was as if he meant the whole world to her, and she could only rely on him wholeheartedly.
She would wors.h.i.+p him endlessly.
Mere addressing could easily make Wei Keli happy. Yuan Keqing wouldn’t mind.
However, it wasn’t good to call him that in front of the elders.
It was better to be steady.
“I… I know, Cousin Sister. You and Brother Keli have been childhood sweethearts,” as Yuan Keqing said this, she secretly glanced at Wei Zhiqian beside Tan Mo.
She admired Wei Zhiqian.
This person didn’t mind Tan Mo’s and Wei Keli’s past.
Tan Mo got to know Wei Keli first.
Before she knew Wei Zhiqian, Wei Keli had been by her side for as long as she could remember.
Moreover, both parents had a tacit understanding to bring the two together and cultivate a childhood friends.h.i.+p.
When the two grew up, they would naturally be together. Wei Zhiqian didn’t even mind this.
However, Yuan Keqing wondered if there wasn’t even a little thorn in his heart?
Even if it was just a little bit.
Thus Yuan Keqing said, “Cousin Sister has always thought that I was the one who interfered in your relations.h.i.+p with Brother Keli, but it’s not the case.”
“Even if you hate me and don’t believe me, you shouldn’t doubt Brother Keli. How could he be a fickle person? It’s just that he has always treated you as his younger sister and liked you as his younger sister. He didn’t have the intention of liking you as his girlfriend. Therefore, he didn’t change his mind and I didn’t destroy your relations.h.i.+p with Brother Keli.
“Where the relations.h.i.+p is concerned, n.o.body can be forced. The two of you have known each other since you were young. Perhaps, it’s because of this that Brother Keli has always treated you as his younger sister,” said Yuan Keqing. “I have also known Brother Keli since I was six years old. At that time, Brother Keli only treated me as an ordinary little sister.
“It was only after we both grew up that we developed a relations.h.i.+p other than friends.h.i.+p,” Yuan Keqing looked pitifully at Tan Mo. “Cousin Sister, don’t misunderstand us, okay?”
Li Xiangrong was silent.
Tan Mo had put her in an unfavorable situation before.
Although she disliked Yuan Keqing even more, it was obvious that Yuan Keqing was going to put Tan Mo in an unfavorable situation this time. Comparing the two, Li Xiangrong realized that she liked Yuan Keqing more.
At the very least, Yuan Keqing was trying to please her and not make her angry.
She could also make Tan Mo angry.
Yuan Keqing was on the same side as them when it came to Tan Mo.
“Eh!” Tan Mo made a sound of disgust and shushed her, “Go ahead if you like Wei Keli. Is he worth me not liking you because of him? There are many reasons why I don’t like you. I’ve mentioned all except this. Moreover, I’m grateful to you. With you around, at least he doesn’t have to pester me anymore.
“Speaking of which, the two of you are quite compatible. Both are equally shameless yet extremely confident,” sneered Tan Mo. Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong’s expressions changed.
Tan Mo was indeed too arrogant!
Did he have to be so obvious in his disdain for Wei Keli!
And she actually said that in front of them!
However, the two of them did not dare to say a thing.
The lesson from the previous incident was still vivid.
In the hearts of the two elders, Wei Keli had never been more important than Tan Mo.
If they were to scold Tan Mo now, the two elders would reprimand them instead. They did not want to lose so much face in front of Yuan Keqing.
Yuan Keqing was stunned.
Was Tan Mo’s brain damaged?
She was so arrogant in the Wei family, insulting Wei Keli in front of so many elders!
No matter what, Wei Keli was still the eldest grandson of the Wei family!
Even if he occasionally did something wrong that made the elders unhappy…
But standing in the Wei family’s house, weren’t ignoring Wei Keli and not taking him seriously in front of the elders a little too arrogant? Yuan Keqing immediately looked at the two elders.
She thought that when she looked over, she would see the two elders’ dark faces with displeasure towards Tan Mo.
But unexpectedly, it was written ‘Tan Mo is right’ on the two elders’ faces.
Yuan Keqing was stunned! The two elders must have been bewitched!
Wei Keli was the direct descendant of the Wei family!
Tan Mo was an outsider, yet she could be so arrogant in the Wei family reprimanding Wei Keli without anyone stopping her!
“Cousin Sister,” Yuan Keqing said seriously, “it’s a bit too much for you to say that about Brother Keli.”
Yuan Keqing’s expression was serious, but her voice was soft.
She was gentle and delicate, but she was strong enough to stand up at a critical moment. Wei Keli felt even more pity for her.
“How is it too much? Isn’t what Momo said the truth?” Wei Zhiqian said coldly.
He didn’t look at Yuan Keqing.
To look at Yuan Keqing in the eye was simply flattering her.
Therefore, when Wei Zhiqian spoke, he looked at the two elders.
The old man immediately nodded. “Keli confessed to Momo many times, but Momo rejected him every time. He was extremely annoying. We all know about this.”
Yuan Keqing was stunned. What did the old man mean?
Did the old man mean that Wei Keli had turned to her because Tan Mo did not like him?
Being with her was the second-best choice for Wei Keli?
