“Who knew that we were going to be stopped by Wei Zhiqian’s people on our way there,” Xu Mingjing explained as she continued to sob. “They said they were going to make Keqing late for half an hour because Mo Mo had had to leave half an hour early when she took her exams. I know you guys thought that Keqing did it with ill intentions back then, but I never thought you would still be angry about it and wait until it was Keqing’s turn to take the exams to exact your revenge.
The mother wiped at her tears before continuing, “But, even if Mo Mo had to leave half an hour early, she still managed to finish the test. Keqing was half an hour late, and she couldn’t even take the exam. Do you know what that will do to her final score? That’s 150 points less. You know how tedious the high school leaving exams are. One wrong answer, and your future might be ruined. Why didn’t you just tell us you guys were still angry? You didn’t have to hide it and wait for now to get back at us. Even if you’d wanted to, how could you ruin Keqing’s exams?”
The Tan family was completely surprised by the news and were now looking at each other.
Never did they expect that Wei Zhiqian would do such a huge favor for them behind their backs.
He literally made Yuan Keqing pay exactly for what she did to Tan Mo a few years back.
The revenge he had exacted was perfectly precise, not a second less and not a second more.
The Tan family couldn’t help but feel delighted to learn of it.
Even the four male members of the Tan family who were always competing with Wei Zhiqian had to give him their full gratitude and recognition.
Wei Zhiqian! Job well done!
All of them shouted in their heads.
“Wait, so let me get this straight…” Tan Wenci sighed. “You said that Wei Zhiqian is the one who stopped you, right? So why are you even here? Shouldn’t you be confronting Wei Zhiqian about it instead of us?”
It was clear that the Yuan family was afraid to face Wei Zhiqian. That was why they had come to the Tan family to complain instead.
Tan Wenci was hurt by the fact that he wasn’t as influential and as powerful as Wei Zhiqian in the Yuan family’s eyes.
“If you guys didn’t ask Wei Zhiqian to do it, do you think he would really waste his time on Keqing?’ Yuan Zhengwen accused them. “We all know how busy he is. Keqing didn’t do anything to harm him, so there’s no reason for him to mess with her. You guys are the ones to blame. You are the one who went to Wei Zhiqian because it was Keqing’s exams. That’s why Tan Mo has kept a close relationship with him, right? Just so she could get her revenge.”
As Yuan Zhengwen yelled, Tan Jinqi was utterly confused.
Since when is Wei Zhiqian this unreliable?
“Is that what Wei Zhqiian really said?” Tan Jinqi finally spoke. “Do you really think that just because you’re afraid to confront Wei Zhiqian that we will be too? Why don’t we invite him over now and see what he has to say about this? Wei Zhiqian took his anger out on your family, but you’re too weak to confront him, so you blame us instead. Who knows if you’ve ever done anything to offend him? Maybe you’re just hiding it.”
“What? Are you trying to bully us because you have more people on your side?” Yuan Zhengwen scolded him. “I know I’m not as smart as you, but you should respect your elders more.”
“Mo Mo, why didn’t you tell me that you were still angry at me?” Yuan Keqing asked with tears all over her face. “Were you planning this the whole time? So that you could take your revenge when I took my exams?”
“Do you really think Mo Mo is a backstabber like you?” Tan Jinsheng scoffed. “Not everyone is like you.”
Yuan Keqing cried even harder after hearing that. “Why? Why are you guys bullying me? I didn’t do that on purpose, and I even apologized for it. You guys even said you would forgive me, and I believed that. Who would have thought that after all this time, you would still be angry about it and sabotage my exams.”
“How did you even come to the conclusion that we were the ones who did that? Didn’t you clearly say that it was Wei Zhiqian? Have you ever thought about what would happen to you when you used Wei Zhiqian to harm Mo Mo? Do you think he’s the type of person who would sit still and let you use him like that? To be honest, you’re probably the only person I’ve ever met to have the guts to use him,” Tan Jinqi laughed. “Since you dared to use him, then you should be prepared to face his wrath, no? What does this have to do with us?”
“Are you still playing innocent?” Yuan Keqing sobbed. “You said the same thing as the person that Wei Zhiqian sent to stop us!”
“And that is proof that Wei Zhiqian is punishing you for using him.” Tan Jinqi smiled. “So, how does this have anything to do with Mo Mo? Even you admit that it was Wei Zhiqian who sent those people, not us. Stop blaming other people for your own mistakes.”
Yuan Keqing could not say anything.
She had fallen into Tan Jinqi’s trap. She had not expected that the oldest brother of the Tan family was just baiting her to get her to say the wrong thing.
“But, Wei Zhiqian said he wanted to make Keqing late for half an hour because she made Mo Mo leave half an hour before the exam ended,” Xu Mingjing argued as her body trembled. “In the end, he did that for Mo Mo. We’re a family. How can you do this to Keqing? Sis, Keqing is your niece. You watched her grow from a baby. How…how can you let this happen to her?”
“That’s where you’re wrong,” Tan Jinqi interrupted. “If you want to use that argument, then we can say Keqing grew up playing with Mo Mo too, didn’t she? And despite that, she still tried to make Mo Mo fail her exams. The reason Mo Mo even answered that call was because it was from Keqing and because she treated her dear cousin as family. Mo Mo would never have answered the call if it was from another person.”
“That’s totally different! Even though Tan Mo had to submit the paper half an hour early, she still got to answer it. But Keqing was half an hour late, and she didn’t even get the chance to take the exam,” Yuan Zhengwen roared.
“Dad’s right! Half an hour earlier didn’t affect Mo Mo because she’s smart. That’s the reason I decided to call her because I knew her results would remain the same…” Yuan Keqing tried to explain. “A…also, I thought since Wei Zhiqian couldn’t go anywhere that Mo Mo would wait until the exam ended before visiting him…”
“Is that so?” Tan Jinyi laughed. “Then, why didn’t you wait until the exam was over before calling Mo Mo?”
Yuan Keqing ignored the question completely. “Also, didn’t Mo Mo get a full score in her exams? She even got to attend Beijing University. There wasn’t any loss for her.”
Xu Mingzhen was so utterly speechless at the Yuan family, and her anger kept rising.
“That’s because my Mo Mo is a genius! If you’re half as good as she is, you wouldn’t even have to worry about missing a subject.” Xu Mingzhen scolded as she could not bear the shameless Yuan family anymore. She’d decided it was time to stop being nice to her sister.
