“Your father might get unhappy and blame us for it once he finds out. What if Wei Zhiqian was only scaring us and didn’t do anything at all? Then wouldn’t we be asking for trouble for nothing?” Xu Mingjing said in a low voice, “Let’s see how things go first.”
Yuan Keqing nodded. She was quite afraid that Yuan Zhengwen would be angry.
Yuan Zhengwen had been doing well in business over the years. At home, he often felt he was important and was extremely proud of himself.
Yuan Zhengwen felt that he was the head of the family and the entire family depended on him.
Yuan Zhengwen felt that Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing could have their current lives all thanks to him.
Xu Mingjing could be a rich lady, and Yuan Keqing could be a privileged child all because of him.
Yuan Zhengwen was the one making all the money they were spending.
Yuan Zhengwen had grown complacent and had a very bad temper over the years.
He felt both Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing owed it to him for their cushy lives, so he would often throw his temper at home.
The moment Xu Mingjing did something that was slightly not to his liking, he would throw a temper.
Sometimes, Xu Mingjing did not mean what she said. Wasn’t it normal to speak casually among family? She was naturally relaxed when she spoke at home.
When she spoke without thinking at home, other people in the family would not take it to heart.
For some reason, it would spark something in Yuan Zhengwen’s nerves and cause Yuan Zhengwen to fly into a rage.
Every time Xu Mingjing thought of this, her chest felt so stifled that she could not breathe.
In the past, Yuan Zhengwen was not like this either.
She did not know what was going on now.
Xu Mingjing naturally did not dare to tell Yuan Zhengwen about this matter.
Even if… even if Wei Zhiqian really did make a move on the company, she definitely couldn’t admit that it was because of her and Yuan Keqing.
Yuan Keqing also thought of this and nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell. Even if… even if Yuanyi’s business really has a problem, we can’t tell him about it.”
Now, it was Yuan Keqing who was worried about Xu Mingjing holding her tongue.
She grabbed Xu Mingjing’s arm and reminded her, “Mom, remember, no matter if there’s a problem or not, we can’t tell. Tonight… just say that we went shopping. We haven’t gone to the Tan family, and we haven’t met Wei Zhiqian. Whether Yuanyi’s business is good or bad, it has nothing to do with us.”
“Right.” Xu Mingjing felt relieved hearing what Yuan Keqing said.
Yuan Keqing finally let out a sigh of relief.
She would never forget the time when she was six years old and went to Old Madam Xu’s residence.
Old Madam Xu was initially making things difficult for Tan Mo. However, Wei Zhiqian arrived and took Tan Mo.
Yuan Zhengwen also first learned Wei Zhiqian favored Tan Mo on that occasion.
At that time, Yuan Zhengwen pushed her down fiercely. His face was so twisted due to anger that it was frightening.
She knew Yuan Zhengwen was furious she had provoked Tan Mo. As a result, she had offended Wei Zhiqian and hurt Yuan Zhengwen’s business interests.
At that time, she knew as long as it hurt Yuan Zhengwen’s interests, Yuan Zhengwen would not care even if they were family.
Before that, Yuan Keqing was just jealous of Tan Mo’s wealth, while the Yuan family could only rely on the Tan family.
After the incident, Yuan Keqing was jealous Tan Mo had such a good family.
No matter if it was her parents or her three brothers, they were never willing to say anything harsh to Tan Mo.
They would never vent their anger on Tan Mo because of the loss of their own interests.
Why was Tan Mo so lucky?
There were family members who loved her so much that they were not even willing to say anything harsh to her, let alone raise a hand at her.
They were nothing like Yuan Zhengwen, who was always going crazy at home.
When he was angry, he would scold her with all sorts of unpleasant words. It was simply unbearable to hear.
As for Tan Mo, she had been doted on since she was young.
Yuan Keqing didn’t know where Tan Mo got such good luck. It wasn’t enough to have her family doting on her, but Wei Zhiqian also treated her equally well.
It was also because of Wei Zhiqian that even Wei Zhiqian’s parents and the two elders of the Wei family treated her so well.
Even it wasn’t the entire Wei family, they were Wei Zhiqian’s parents and grandparents.
The four of them were the people with the most authority in the Wei family.
With these four people treating Tan Mo well, it was no different from winning the favor of the entire clan.
Furthermore, Wei Zhiqian had now become Tan Mo’s boyfriend altogether.
In the future, Tan Mo would probably be able to marry Wei Zhiqian and become the next family head’s wife.
But what about herself?
Yuan Keqing was still working hard and racking her brains to get close to Wei Keli. She felt that being able to marry Wei Keli was already very impressive.
She felt she had successfully snatched Wei Keli from Tan Mo.
In the blink of an eye, Tan Mo had unexpectedly gotten someone even better.
Compared to Wei Zhiqian, Wei Keli was nothing.
Wei Keli and Wei Zhiqian were so far apart in status it was as good as comparing dust and moon.
One of them fell from the sky and was destined for a life of humility.
The other stayed in the sky like the moon and was destined to look over them with pride and arrogance.
Yuan Keqing couldn’t help but sneer with her heart aching from jealousy.
Tan Mo was really… How could she have such a good life?
“Go in,” said Xu Mingjing.
Yuan Keqing unlocked the door and the two of them entered the door.
Yuan Zhengwen hadn’t returned yet, so both of them heaved a sigh of relief.
After having a quick dinner, they quickly went back to their rooms.
They didn’t want to meet Yuan Zhengwen.
As for Xu Mingjing, she had already slept in separate rooms with Yuan Zhengwen.
They were sleeping separately so that they couldn’t disturb each other.
Since they were already an old married couple, Yuan Zhengwen had already stopped sleeping with Xu Mingjing.
He was socializing outside, so he naturally had his share of fun, and conveniently slept in separate rooms with Xu Mingjing.
Although Yuan Zhengwen had plenty of fun outside, he did not have a kept woman.
It was all just a part of socializing, and he never brought any women home.
This made things easy for him since he didn’t have to worry about being harassed by other women.
Xu Mingjing retired to her bedroom early, so she didn’t have to face Yuan Zhengwen who returned late.
Wei Zhiqian had only just sent word, so Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing didn’t expect everyone else to react so quickly.
When Yuan Zhengwen returned, Xu Mingjing overheard Yuan Zhengwen talking on the phone in the living room.
Xu Mingjing instantly realized something had happened in the business. It seemed many orders had been canceled.
Xu Mingjing immediately thought of Wei Zhiqian’s words.
She pretended to be woken up by Yuan Zhengwen and came out.
Yuan Zhengwen was still on the phone.
After walking into the living room, Xu Mingjing heard Yuan Zhengwen’s conversation even more clearly.
Although she could not hear what the caller was saying, she could hear most of Yuan Zhengwen’s words and had an inkling of what was going on.
“President Lin, why are you suddenly pulling out?”
“President Lin, how could you have done this? We just had dinner together tonight, and you didn’t mention anything about pulling out. We even happily chatted about the partnership as though we were chums. Now that I am home, you suddenly tell me you are pulling funds?”
“President Lin… President Lin…”
The other party had hung up the phone.
Yuan Zhengwen was about to call back when he received another call.
“President Fang…”
She didn’t know what the caller had said from the other end of the phone.
However, Yuan Zhengwen’s expression became extremely angry.
