Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Xu Mingzhen knew the old lady’s had a plan when she heard the latter’s words.
The old lady continued, “The old man and me, and together with Zhiqian’s parents and your big family, we can fill up a big table.”
Xu Mingzhen finally understood. Before she could say anything, the old lady continued, “I think you should just come straight to the old house. Let’s celebrate together.”
“I’ll ask Maid Zhang to buy food materials. I’ll ask chef w.a.n.g to make some of his best dishes for us,” the old lady said, “We’ll sit together and eat and chat in leisure. It’s better than eating in a restaurant where there will always be strangers around us.”
After saying all that, the old lady remembered to ask Xu Mingzhen for her opinion. “What do you think?”
Xu Mingzhen had no reason to disagree, considering the two elder people’s kindness toward Tan Mo.
Over the years, their relations.h.i.+p with the Wei family, especially with the two elder people and Wei Mingwen and his wife, had become as close as a family.
They were really comfortable together.
Xu Mingzhen smiled and said, “Then we’ll leave it all to you.”
The old lady beamed happily. “Come now.”
“Okay, we’ll set off now.”
Xu Mingzhen hung up the phone and said to everyone, “The two elders and Zhiqian’s parents were paying attention to Mo Mo’s results in the compet.i.tion. They know that Mo Mo won five gold medals. The old lady wants us to go to the old house to celebrate.”
“That’s fine.” Wei Zhiqian nodded.
It was a good opportunity to explain everything to both families.
Everyone went back to their rooms to tidy up.
Wei Zhiqian waited in the living room.
After leaving the house, before Tan Wenci say anything, Tan Mo got into Wei Zhiqian’s car.
The Tan family members didn’t know what to say.
In the past, they would debate about it, but today it seemed they didn’t even have the chance to do it.
The Tan family members felt that something was up.
Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi got into Tan Jinqi’s car.
Hence, Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen set off in their car.
Not long after they set off, Xu Mingzhen’s phone rang.
She took out her phone and saw that it was from Xu Mingjing.
It had been a long time since Xu Mingjing contacted her.
Ever since Yuan Keqing’s college entrance examination was avenged by Wei Zhiqian, Xu Mingzhen had brought Yuan Keqing to cause a ruckus.
Xu Mingzhen was disappointed in Xu Mingjing.
Later, Xu Mingjing for some unknown reason, called to apologize.
But she did not pay a visit.
Xu Mingzhen did not know how sincere Xu Mingjing’s apology was, so she had reservations about Xu Mingjing.
No matter what, she couldn’t trust Xu Mingjing.
But still she let it pa.s.s.
Otherwise, what could she do?
If Xu Mingjing’s apology wasn’t sincere, even if she did not accept Xu Mingjing’s apology, it would not affect Xu Mingjing.
Xu Mingzhen did not sincerely forgive Xu Mingjing; she just did not want to be hara.s.sed by Xu Mingjing.
After Xu Mingzhen said that she was no longer angry, Xu Mingjing either played dumb or really thought that Xu Mingzhen had forgiven her, talking to her as if nothing had happened.
Xu Mingzhen felt disappointed and rarely took the initiative to contact Xu Mingjing.
Later, for some reason, Xu Mingjing did not contact Xu Mingzhen for a long time.
After all, they were sisters and Xu Mingzhen didn’t mean to cut the ties.
Knowing that Xu Mingjing was doing well, she felt relieved and did not contact Xu Mingjing.
After staying away from the Yuan family, Xu Mingzhen’s life was more comfortable.
No one would bother her with troublesome matters.
If it weren’t for this phone call, Xu Mingzhen would have forgotten about Xu Mingjing.
Xu Mingzhen was shocked by this thought.
In the past, she had cared a lot about her younger sister, even though the latter always took advantage of her.
Without her knowing it, she had forgotten about Xu Mingjing.
Xu Mingzhen let out a deep breath before picking up the phone.
“Sister,” Xu Mingjing greeted her over the phone.
“Mingjing.” Xu Mingzhen said quietly, “I haven’t received your call for a long time.”
Xu Mingjing smiled awkwardly and said, “I’ve been busy with Keqing recently. You know, she went to the film school to learn acting. Many of her cla.s.smates were already famous before entering the school. Some started acting since young, and some have been idols since high school.”
Xu Mingjing paused and asked with a smile, “Sister, do you know what idols mean?”
“I do,” Xu Mingzhen replied quietly.
She did not know why, but when she heard Xu Mingjing speak, she just felt bored.
Tan Jinqi was a director, and Tan Mo occasionally worked as a screenwriter.
So Xu Mingzhen and Tan Wenci both paid attention to matters in the entertainment industry.
Tan Wenci even established Tan Mo’s fan club and became the president.
Until now, the fans still didn’t know that their president was a middle-aged man.
The new words like idol were introduced to her by Tan Wenci.
“Half of her cla.s.smates are already famous before entering the school. These freshmen are already doing movies. Some even partic.i.p.ated in TV shows with large groups of fans.
“Keqing has always been compet.i.tive. As a mother, I can’t let my child be outdone.” Xu Mingjing sighed, “But her father’s company has nothing to do with the entertainment industry. We want to help, but we can’t. We have money but we don’t know how to help her with money. People always say money can help open doors but we don’t know where the doors are.”
Xu Mingjing held the phone, her eyes darting around fiercely. She said, “Sis, I heard that Jinqi is filming a movie. It’s his first movie. Moreover, it’s a big production.”
Xu Mingzhen’s heart turned cold when she heard this and displeasure showed on her face
She finally knew why Xu Mingjing called.
At first, she thought that Xu Mingjing had called to congratulate Tan Mo for winning first place in the mathematics compet.i.tion.
It was really laughable when she thought about it.
Even the people from the Wei family who were not related to Tan Mo cared about Tan Mo. they had been paying close attention to Tan Mo’s performance in the compet.i.tion.
They were also afraid to put pressure on Tan Mo and thus did not dare to say that they were following the news about the compet.i.tion.
They did not dare to call until the results were out.
The moment the results were out, they called to celebrate, which showed how much they cared about her.
