“The elders are all here. You’re the only ones left.” Sheng Yilan seemed unhappy. “It’s not appropriate for you juniors to arrive so late.”
Tan Mo raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Wei Zhiqian.
What was Sheng Yilan implying by criticizing Wei Zhijian’s family for being late?
Although she was blaming Wei Zhijian’s family for being late, Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo were also juniors.
Was she not also scolding them by implication?
Although Tan Mo often came to the old residence, she didn’t know Wei Mingzhong, Wei Mingxiao, and their families.
Tan Mo had never met them in the old residence.
It was also because she didn’t want to.
Every time she went to the old residence, it was either when Wei Zhiqian was around or when she asked Wei Zhiqian. She only went when no one from the other two families was at the old residence.
She went to the old residence because she missed the two elders and wanted to see them.
She did not socialize with the other two families.
Moreover, the other two families might not be willing to see an outsider like her getting her way with their elders. The treatment she received was far better than that of the people from the Wei family.
In any case, she did not have any relationship with the other two families, and she was not interested in pleasing them.
Tan Mo would rather she got away with less trouble.
Even though it was hard to believe, Tan Mo genuinely hadn’t encountered them before in the past 12 years.
Despite never meeting in person, they all knew of each other’s existence.
The moment Tan Mo came in with Wei Zhiqian, everyone speculated.
However, Tan Mo had never come when the entire Wei family was here.
Why did she come with Wei Zhiqian this year?
“We arrived early and were stopped by Keli from behind. He kept trying to chat with s outside.” Wei Zhiqian did not like what Sheng Yilan was doing. “If I didn’t remind him, Keli would have continued to chat outside.”
Sheng Yilan paused for a moment and then said, “Keli hasn’t come back for a long time. He must be quite excited to see his uncle.”
Wei Zhiqian smiled and didn’t say anything, but he didn’t hide the sarcasm between his brows.
Wei Mingzhong’s wife and Wei Zhigong’s mother called Wu Qinxia asked, “Who is this beautiful girl?”
Tan Mo’s gaze fell on Wu Qinxia’s face.
If Sheng Yilan’s facial features were obviously unkind, then Wu Qinxia’s face was so kind that she felt that it was a little too much.
Tan Mo had never seen them before.
Tan Mo looked at Sheng Yilan’s face. Perhaps it was because she was always so unkind, it made people feel she was unkind even when she was smiling.
As for Wu Qinxia, although she looked kind, Tan Mo felt her kind face was too superficial.
It was as if she had put on a thick layer of makeup to make herself look benevolent.
No matter how she looked at it, she was not as natural as Xiao Menghan.
Xiao Menghan’s facial features were bright and open from the bottom of her heart.
Even though she had a strong personality, she was not hypocritical.
No matter what, it was just right.
Xiao Menghan knew just what to do.
Before Wei Zhiqian could reply to Wu Qinxia’s question, the old lady beat him to it and said, “It’s the person you keep hearing about, Tan Mo.”
Even when Tan Mo came to the old mansion, she avoided Wei Mingzhong and Wei Mingxiao’s families and never met them.
However, the old lady still told them about Tan Mo.
Although they had never met each other, they didn’t feel unfamiliar when she mentioned it was Tan Mo.
They had finally met.
“So it’s Tan Mo.” Wu Qinxia said with a smile, “I always hear Mom talking about you, but I haven’t had the chance to meet you. I was wondering when I would be able to meet you.”
“Yeah. We finally meet,” Sheng Yilan said with a forced smile. “I didn’t expect after so many years, we would finally meet. I keep saying. Why is it so hard to meet this girl?”
Xiao Menghan raised her eyebrows and smiled ambiguously. “Now we have finally met her. Besides, you don’t have to worry about missing her in the future. Momo will be family from now on. Even if we don’t get to meet because we are busy, Momo will have to attend all the family events from now on. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to meet.”
From the way Sheng Yilan and Wu Qinxia spoke, it was as if they did not get to see Tan Mo because she was putting on airs.
Xiao Menghan explained they didn’t get to see each other due to their different schedules and it had nothing to do with Tan Mo’s arrogance.
After being rebuked by Xiao Menghan, Wu Qinxia’s smile froze. However, the kind expression on her face did not crack.
Sheng Yilan’s expression froze for a moment, and then she asked, “Family? Do you mean she is your goddaughter?”
Sheng Yilan had also heard about how Tan Mo had addressed Wei Zhiqian as her uncle.
After all, the girl had nothing to do with the Wei family but was using Wei Zhiqian’s name to receive all kinds of preferential treatment.
When Sheng Yilan went out for social engagements, she would hear from others from time to time about how much Zhiqian cared about Tan Mo.
She did not have a good impression of Mo Tan.
Sheng Yilan found the little girl shameless. Tan Mo had nothing to do with the Wei family, yet she was still using Wei Zhiqian’s name. Did Tan Mo really think that she was a big shot?
Sheng Yilan also felt Wei Zhiqian got careless by allowing Mo Tan to do whatever she wanted.
Could any random girl use the family name?
Sheng Yilan had brought this up to the two elders and Xiao Menghan.
In the end, Old Madam Wei and Xiao Menghan already knew about it, and even seemed to like Tan Mo.
This made Sheng Yilan speechless.
She saw how much Xiao Menghan liked Tan Mo. The moment she spoke against Tan Mo, Xiao Menghan just had to help and even argued with her.
She probably wanted to acknowledge Tan Mo as her goddaughter.
As for the matter of Tan Mo calling Wei Zhiqian “uncle”. Since they were not genuinely biologically related, it was no big deal to change it.
Wei Keli looked at Tan Mo in surprise, then looked at Xiao Menghan.
If Xiao Menghan really acknowledged Tan Mo as her goddaughter, wouldn’t Tan Mo’s seniority be higher than his?
Did he have to call Tan Mo ‘auntie’?
If that was the case, how could he be together with Tan Mo?
Wei Keli could not help but say to Xiao Menghan, “Are you really going to acknowledge Momo as your goddaughter? Wouldn’t that make her my senior?”
“I grew up with Momo and we were childhood friends. I’m like an older brother to Momo,” Wei Keli said with a smile. “Please don’t make me call Momo my auntie.”
Old Madam Wei smiled and said, “Well, you will be calling her ‘auntie’, but not because of this reason.”
Wei Keli was stunned for a moment. He felt like he didn’t understand what the old lady meant.
Why did he have to call Tan Mo “auntie”?
Who was he calling “Auntie”?
Old Master Wei finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and joined in. He was so happy that his beard trembled. “Didn’t Menghan just say Momo will be able to see you guys more often in the future?”
“That’s because Zhiqian has finally done something good!” The old man laughed so hard that his teeth could not be seen.
