Xu Mingzhen felt that Xu Mingjing was not naïve, but rather she had an overly positive view of the situation.
Since they had been young, Xu Mingzhen had helped and protected Xu Mingjing.
It was all right if she suffered a little because of her. She did not mind, as Xu Mingjing was her sister after all.
However, Mo Mo has now become the most important person to her.
Her biological sister was not above her biological daughter.
She was willing to suffer a little to help Xu Mingjing, but she would not stand for the idea of letting her daughter suffer to help Xu Mingjing and her daughter.
“Second, President Mu’s promise was made in order for Mo Mo to agree to enter Beijing University. Mo Mo is already a student at Beijing University and that promise expired long ago. Moreover, Mo Mo voiced her conditions at that time. She can’t keep on asking for things, right? What sort of person would that make her? Wouldn’t she become a shameless person? She attends school to study and not to blackmail the principal. The school wanted her because they treasure talent. They don’t want a shameless person.
“Last, Beijing University is the top school in the Hua Empire. If Keqing is unable to enter, then that is the reality you must face. To think that you want President Mu to make an exception for her! If this matter was exposed, it could be the end of President Mu’s career. You want to gamble with another person’s career for your daughter? Why should President Mu do this when he is not related to you and does not owe you anything?”
This thinking was ridiculous.
“But…but Mo Mo has achieved so much honor for Beijing University. Her words must carry a lot of weight for President Mu.” As the matter was related to Yuan Keqing, Xu Mingjing could not be dissuaded.
Tan Wenci laughed angrily. “Our Mo Mo has earned these honors based on her own ability, and they belong to her. She did not earn them for your daughter. On what basis should our Mo Mo use them to convenience your daughter?”
They must be dreaming!
This sister of his wife had no shame.
Tan Wenci decided to ask Xu Mingzhen after they left if Xu Mingjing had been like this in the past or if she had been influenced by Yuan Zhengwen after she had married him.
“We are all one family. How can this be seen as a convenience to my daughter?” Yuan Zhengwen strongly disagreed with what had just been said. “Plus, why are you saying that the condition has expired.
“From what we’ve heard, even though Tan Mo has already entered Beijing University, she has continued to help her three brothers. She first had Director Hou Yuehai as Jinqi’s teacher, then Liu Shengtai and He Haoyan to be Jinsheng’s and Jinyi’s teachers. Keqing is also her sister, how could she not help Keqing enter Beijing University?”
Xu Mingzhen laughed. Now she was angry too. “Mo Mo is so young, and you go so far as to ask her to do such things. She helped her three brothers because they have good relationships. But what does she have with Keqing? She was schemed against by Keqing during her exam, and Keqing has often stood with outsiders to bully her. She has no sisterhood with Yuan Keqing.”
It was absolutely shameful that Yuan Zhengwen and his family had the nerve to beg Tan Mo for anything.
“Moreover, regarding the teachers she found for her three brothers, this was also because of other honors she earned after she entered Beijing University that she used to help her brothers. They expired and cannot be used anymore,” Xu Mingzhen said coldly. “Plus can finding famous teachers for her brothers be grouped in the same breath as making an exception for Keqing to enter Beijing University? Don’t mix them together.
“I really didn’t expect that you would be visiting to ask for such an unreasonable request.” Xu Mingzhen laughed. “We are not able to agree to your request, now please leave!”
“Sis!” Xu Mingjing looked at Xu Mingzhen sadly. “Sis, how did you change like this? In the past, you always helped me. Why now…?”
“It was not I who changed, it was you who changed,” Xu Mingzhen said coldly, also disappointed.
“Then again, I have always spoiled you and that turned you for the worse. In the past, I never found your requests too much. If I could help you, I would agree. The result was that your appetite grew, and soon you felt that no matter what your request was, I would agree.
“Your appetite had grown so much that you felt that I would sacrifice the Tan family, sacrifice my husband and children to help you.” Xu Mingzhen shook her head. “I will be direct with you today. This is impossible.
“You have already changed. To prevent your appetite from growing even bigger, no matter how small your requests are in the future, I will not agree to them. In the future, no matter what it is, don’t come to me anymore. I will not help you.” Xu Mingzhen had set her mind on this and was direct with her words.
“You have changed. This was not what you said in the past. You had promised me that if I needed help and you could do it, you would definitely help,” Xu Mingjing looked at Xu Mingzhen in disappointment.
Xu Mingzhen was also utterly disappointed.
To think that there had been such consequences from helping Xu Mingjing.
Now that she’d decided not to help, it had all become her fault.
“Yes, I did say that. However, I am unable to help for this matter.” Xu Mingzhen’s voice had turned colder.
“But my request is very simple. It does not harm your family and does not harm Mo Mo,” Xu Mingjing said anxiously. “Moreover…moreover…Keqing’s failure in her examination this time…wasn’t it because of Mo Mo? Then…then shouldn’t she compensate her?
“If not for Mo Mo, Keqing would not have been stopped by Wei Zhiqian from taking the examination and we would not be begging you for help today,” Xu Mingjing cried. “Do you think that I like to beg you? Do you think it feels good to have to beg someone like this?
“We didn’t want to beg you. It was Mo Mo who caused Keqing to miss the examination, and you are blaming us now? To think it became our fault…” Xu Mingjing felt heavily wronged. “You…you should be reasonable.”
“It is you, Auntie, who is unreasonable by saying this. According to your logic, when Yuan Keqing sabotaged my examination, she should compensate me too. I do not want anything. I only want you to not bother us again and for you to leave us now,” Tan Mo said.
“Mo Mo, when did you become like this?” Xu Mingjing looked at Tan Mo in disbelief. “How could you say such harsh and unreasonable words?
“Keqing informed you out of kindness. Plus, your examination was not affected, so why should there be compensation?”
Xu Mingzhen’s expression turned colder and colder.
This family is truly shameless!
Currently, Wei Zhiqian and Zhou Jingan were standing at the Tan Mansion’s entrance in the yard.
There were six bodyguards standing behind them.
“All right, let’s enter,” Wei Zhiqian said.
Zhou Jingan nodded and instructed the six men, “Stay here for now and wait for further instructions.”
“Yes, sir,” the six said in unison.
Wei Zhiqian and Zhou Jingan arrived at the entrance and Zhou Jingan rang the bell.
Inside the house, Xu Mingzhen was trying to figure out how to send the Yuan family away.
If she couldn’t think of a solution, then she would have to chase them away with violence.
