Chapter 60: She’s Bullied You Again？

The title Third Grade Exam was printed in black and white on the cover.

And in the place where one wrote the class and name, Tan Mo wrote it stroke by stroke with a black pen: First Grade, Class Two, Tan Mo.

Especially because the title Third Grade Exam was in the middle of the page, her signature looked much more shocking and eye-catching.

The test paper had been answered in a neat and tidy manner.

While Yuan Keqing was still answering questions with a pencil, Tan Mo was already writing with a black pen.

Although the writing still looked a bit immature, it was neat. The writing was organized, unlike children who have just learned to write, when their writing tends to be top-heavy, often out of line, and with an inconsistent size of their characters.

She and Yuan Keqing were indeed not on the same level.

Xu Mingzhen sneered. When speaking about Tan Mo, she was full of pride. “Mo Mo didn’t get perfect scores on the first grade exam, but on the third grade exam. There is really nothing that can be compared about them in this situation.”

Old Madame Xu made a face as she was thinking that Xu Mingzhen’s children, like her, were all prickly, and they always put people in difficult positions.

It was New Year’s, yet they just had to make things so unpleasant.

“We’re all family, so you don’t need to show off like this.” Old Madame Xu’s expression had turned ugly. “Put the test paper away.”

Yuan Keqing was so angry that her hands were shaking, but she dared not let that be seen by the others, so she had to put her hands under her legs and press down on them tightly.

At this time, the doorbell of the house rang.

The housekeeper went to the door. Outside, there was an extremely good-looking teenager.

On this cold day, his face looked like porcelain jade.

“Excuse me, you are…?” The housekeeper had never seen him before. She was sure that the other party’s face was very unfamiliar.

However, she could tell that he had an extraordinary aura, so the housekeeper dared not neglect him.

“Hello, I am Wei Zhiqian. Are Mr. Tan Wenci and his family here?” Wei Zhiqian asked politely.

“Yes.” The housekeeper was confused, and she nodded as if in a daze.

“I’m here to see them. May I come in?” Wei Zhiqian asked.

“Certainly, please come in.” He was already here, so it would be rude to keep him outside the door. The housekeeper could only open the door for him.

Then the housekeeper had to go into the living room, and, amid the tense atmosphere there, she was forced to bite the bullet and say, “Mr. Tan, Mrs. Tan, there is a young man named Wei Zhiqian downstairs. He says that he is looking for you.”

When they heard this, the family members had different reactions.

Tan Mo was surprised and asked, “Why has my Little Uncle come?”

The three Tan family brothers acted as if an enemy had arrived. “What is he doing here?”

Had he come all the way to their grandmother’s house to snatch Mo Mo away? He has crossed the line!

Tan Wenci quickly asked, “Is he still downstairs?”

“I’ve opened the door for him. When I heard that he was here to see you, I couldn’t keep him outside the door,” the housekeeper explained. She didn’t know if what she had done was right.

“Yes, you did the right thing.” Xu Mingzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could relax, she suddenly saw Yuan Zhengwen standing up excitedly and asking, “Wei Zhiqian…is that Young Master Wei?”

Xu Mingzhen: “…”

It was impolite not to let Wei Zhiqian come up.

But if they let him come up, the sly Yuan Zhengwen might sabotage the meeting.

At this time, Yuan Keqing started rubbing her eyes. The eyes that had been originally red because of crying now became even more red.

Like a rabbit’s eyes, her eyes looked watery and especially pitiful.

Xu Mingzhen: “…”

This was even worse now.

Can Yuan Keqing be any more obvious?

Is it that Wei Keli is not enough, and she wants to cling to Wei Zhiqian as well?

She was so young. How could she already have so many calculating thoughts?

And she kept coveting Tan Mo’s things. How disgusting it was!

Thinking of Yuan Keqing having her sights set on Wei Zhiqian, Xu Mingzhen clenched her fists and could barely restrain herself.

Old Madame Xu piped up, “Wei Zhiqian? Young Master Wei? This name sounds exactly the same as someone from the Wei family.”

“What do you mean, exactly the same? Mom, he is that person from the Wei family.” Yuan Zhengwen rubbed his hands nervously and went to the door to wait.

“The Wei family?” Old Madame Xu widened her eyes. It had taken her a long time to react. She looked at Xu Mingzhen. “How do you know each other?”

Looking at Old Madame Xu, Xu Mingzhen became even more upset.

She even thought it would be better for Wei Zhiqian to wait downstairs.

There was only derision left in her heart.

Xu Mingzhen didn’t want to answer Old Madame Xu at all, so she simply pretended not to hear her.

At this time, she heard Yuan Zhengwen’s obsequious voice saying, “Young Master Wei, please come in quickly, please come in quickly. It is our honor that you have come.”

Wei Zhiqian glanced at Yuan Zhengwen with a vacant look, turned a blind eye to his outstretched hand, and walked into the room directly.

Yuan Zhengwen’s hand was forced to hang in the air in an extremely embarrassing gesture. Soon he retracted it.

Wei Zhiqian came into the living room and was about to say hello to the elders, when he noticed Yuan Keqing’s red eyes. Obviously, she had been crying.

Wei Zhiqian’s expression was cold, and he asked in a deep voice, “She’s bullied you again?”

Yuan Keqing was overjoyed. Wei Zhiqian had finally opened his eyes.

Was she finally going to be taken seriously by Wei Zhiqian this time?

Yuan Keqing sniffled, pouted, and raised her head, when she saw that Wei Zhiqian wasn’t even looking at her. Instead he was frowning as he was looking at Tan Mo.

Tan Mo raised her head and looked at Wei Zhiqian blankly.

The scene that Wei Zhiqian saw when he came in was all the family members, and Yuan Keqing with red eyes, as if she had just cried.

The Tan family appeared completely indifferent to her.

Old Madame Xu was guarding Yuan Keqing, and Yuan Keqing had a pitiful look on her face.

No matter how one looked at it, Yuan Keqing seemed to have been the one who was bullied, and the Tans had been the ones who had bullied Yuan Keqing.

When Wei Zhiqian came in, Tan Mo’s instinctive first reaction was that Wei Zhiqian might be questioning her about Yuan Keqing.

But when she looked at Wei Zhiqian, she saw that Wei Zhiqian was only looking at her, and there was no other person in his eyes.

Tan Mo clearly saw Wei Zhiqian’s stern eyes flashing with worry.

Seeing Tan Mo staring at him blankly but not answering, Wei Zhiqian immediately asked again, “Did Yuan Keqing bully you again?”

This sentence completely struck at Tan Mo’s heart.

Tan Mo realized that before this she hadn’t actually fully trusted Wei Zhiqian.

She had believed that her brothers would stand by her side no matter what, trust her, and protect her.

Even if Yuan Keqing had been crying, her brothers would still think that she had been bullied by Yuan Keqing.

But she hadn’t trusted Wei Zhiqian like that.

She’d just thought of Wei Zhiqian as a powerful weapon that she should cherish and flatter.

She knew that as long as she was on Wei Zhiqian’s good side, it would be good for her family.

But deep in her heart, she’d felt that Wei Zhiqian’s backing wasn’t reliable.

That was until just now. When faced with Wei Zhiqian’s unwavering belief in her, Tan Mo knew that from this moment onward she would truly trust Wei Zhiqian.

She would trust him exactly like she trusted her brothers.
