“I don’t expect her to care much about Momo and pay attention to her at all times, but this attitude of hers is worse than an outsider who isn’t related to her by blood. It’s really unacceptable.” Xu Mingzhen was so angry that her hands were trembling.
Tan Wenci had no choice but to add on, “Matters like intimacy and estrangement actually have nothing to do with blood. Zhiqian and Momo have nothing to do with each other, yet he can treat her so well.”
“The two elders of the Wei family and the heads of the family all like Momo and treat her as their own. However, the other members of the Wei family treat Momo very poorly. Others aside, your best friend, Li Xiangrong, and her husband. Although Li Xiangrong is very passionate about Mo Mo, she doesn’t look as sincere as the two elders of the Wei family and the Wei family head couple from the inside out.”
“This is fate. It can’t be explained.” Tan Wenci held Xu Mingzhen’s hand, “We don’t care about blood relations. If It’s worth our time, we’ll be friends. If it’s not, who cares?”
“Indeed.” Xu Mingzhen nodded.
“Today is a happy day. Don’t ruin let these things ruin your mood,” Tan Wenci advised her. “Especially the people you don’t like. Because the people you don’t like make you unhappy. It’s not worth it.”
Xu Mingzhen had already adjusted her mood between Tan Wenci’s words. She smiled and nodded. “I don’t want to think about it anymore.”
“Anyway, we won’t let them take advantage of us in the future,” Xu Mingzhen said again.
Tan Wenci smiled. She knew that Xu Mingzhen’s temper came and went quickly.
She could adjust herself very well.

Three cars arrived at the old residence.
The cars hadn’t stopped yet. They were approaching the entrance of the old house. They slowed down, found a place to park, and drove slowly.
They saw many familiar faces on the road.
Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen couldn’t recognize them.
But Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo recognized them at a glance.
They were all people who worked in the old house.
Butler Zhu, gardener Xiao Liu, and the few people in charge of the courtyard sanitation of the old house also came out.
Housekeeper Zhu was standing at the gate of the old house, as if he was constantly handing out something.
Xiao Liu and the others would come back empty-handed every time they took something and take some more.
Tan Mo said in surprise, “What are Grandpa Zhu and the others doing?”
It was so lively.
“We’ll find out if we ask.” Wei Zhiqian parked the car and got out of the car with Tan Mo. .
Tan Wenci, his wife, and the three tan brothers also got off the car.
Tan Mo ran directly to Butler Zhu.
Butler Zhu liked Tan Mo’s lively look, like a little bird.
After Tan Mo stood firmly, butler Zhu smiled lovingly and said, “Be careful not to fall.”
Tan Mo smiled and greeted Little Liu who happened to come back. “Brother Little Liu.”
The gardener Xiao Liu’s big white teeth were a little dazzling under the sunlight. “Mo Mo, Congratulations on winning first place in the individual all-around award in the math competition! That’s amazing.”
Tan Mo smiled and thanked him. He saw butler Zhu give Xiao Liu another thick stack of red envelopes.
Tan Mo asked curiously, “Grandpa Zhu, who are you giving the red envelopes to?”
“Didn’t you win first place in the math competition? And you even won first place in the most difficult individual all-around award. Not only did you win the gold medal in five subjects, you even got full marks in five subjects.” Butler Zhu’s voice was very loud at this time.
Tan Mo was speechless.
Why was Butler Zhu so loud?
Could it be that he wanted to say it for passers-by to hear?
However, the old house was also a very high-end villa residential area.
It was even more high-end than the Tan family’s.
Because the villas here were especially large just in the courtyard.
There was even a golf course in the residential area.
From this, it could be seen how large the area of the residential area was.
In a place like B city, where every inch of land was expensive and there were many tall buildings, it could be said that it was very luxurious to have such a large area and sparsely populated neighborhood.
Because the villas all had very spacious courtyards, there was also a pool and a garden behind them.
So there were not many villas in the neighborhood, and the distance between the villas and the villas was quite far.
It fully protected the privacy of the residents.
But this also made the number of people on the road in the community very small.
The road in front of their own house was so busy that they could not see many people.
Butler Zhu was talking loudly at this moment, and no one else could hear him.
But Butler Zhu felt that regardless of whether there were people or not, he would shout loudly.
What if someone happened to pass by?
It was better to be prepared.
“When the two elders saw the results, they immediately asked me to go to the bank to exchange some cash.”Now, the chance of using cash was becoming less and less.
One only needed to bring a mobile phone when going out.
There was no need for change, and there was also no need to bring a wallet. It was extremely convenient.
However, once one needed to use cash, the family would not be able to find a few pieces of money.
“I went to the bank to exchange a brand new hundred Yuan note. The red envelope is still okay, but it looks festive just by looking at it,” Butler Zhu said with a smile.
“In such a difficult competition, you got a good result that no one has ever gotten before. Naturally, you have to give out red envelopes to your neighbors to share the joy,” Butler Zhu explained with a smile.
Tan Mo then realized that Xiao Liu and the others had each taken a thick stack of red envelopes and had gone to distribute the money everywhere.
“This is too expensive.” Tan Mo blushed, feeling embarrassed.
“What’s the big deal?” Butler Zhu said as he invited everyone in, “The two elders said that Momo is so outstanding, we must let everyone know. Usually, if the neighbors had any good news, they would give out red packets to show off. But none of the good news could compare to Momo.”
“Let’s not talk about the good news like marriage, it’s just one time.”. Of course, it’s also possible if it happens twice or thrice, but it’s definitely not as joyous as the first time. There are children at home who do well in their studies, who do well in their exams, and who get into good schools. But how can those exams compare to this math competition? The two elders must shock them.”
The two elders were showing off, but there was no end to it.
“This morning, we first asked people to give out red envelopes from door to door. Later in the afternoon, the two elders asked Xiao Liu and the others to hang gongs on their bodies, beat the gongs and drums, and set up long gift tables on both sides of the road outside the community. They were all small but exquisite and practical gifts. Passers-by would have a share of them.”
“In addition, there are also some more prosperous roads that have set up love lunches. It’s convenient for the sanitation workers and others to take them for free,” Butler Zhu introduced them as he walked.
Xu Mingzhen’s eyes were sour.
The two elders had spent so much for Tan Mo.
But her family did not care about Tan Mo.
The more the two elders tried to talk to Tan Mo. The more they tried to talk to Tan Mo.
Tan Wenci held onto Xu Mingzhen’s words and said softly, “We can’t give all the benefits to Mo Mo. . There are gains and losses.”
Xu Mingzhen sniffed and nodded. “It’s like this.”
“This… this is too expensive,” said Tan Mo..
