“Tan Mo, don’t play dumb.” Qin Muxiao sneered at her and said, “Brother Zhiqian isn’t going to come today, right?”
Tan Mo said with an innocent look, “When did I ever say that my Little Uncle was going to come?”
“This is your graduation ceremony. Your family is here on such an important day. If Brother Zhiqian really valued you so much, wouldn’t he come?” Qin Muxiao crossed her arms in front of her like she was enjoying a joke. “You might as well tell the truth. In reality, Brother Zhiqian doesn’t take you seriously.”
Tan Mo smiled and said, “What does this have to do with you?”
“You’re as stubborn as a mule! It doesn’t matter to me, but I just can’t stand how everyone has been fooled by you for so many years,” Qin Muxiao said loudly. “Taking advantage of the fact that Brother Zhiqian has graduated and isn’t at Jixia Academy any longer, you constantly are riding on his coattails. Everyone has been deceived by you for seven years.”
Many students nearby heard what Qin Muxiao had said.
Is what Qin Muxiao said true?
“It can’t be, can it?”
“No way if Tan Mo really had such a good relationship with Wei Zhiqian, Qin Muxiao wouldn’t have the guts to wrong her like this.”
“She’s lied for seven years? How old was she seven years ago? How can such a little kid lie so cunningly?”
There were whispers all around.
“Qin Muxiao, enough! Haven’t you forgotten the lesson you learned back in the day?” Qin Muye was clearly very irritated.
Was Qin Muxiao out of her mind?
She must be out of her mind.
Qin Muxiao sneered triumphantly as she said, “Today, I must expose you. I can’t let so many people be deceived by you any longer.”
“Qin…” Qin Muye was about to flare up, but she was pulled away by Tan Mo.
Wei Zhiqian had promised that he would come, so he would come.
It was useless to argue with Qin Muxiao. She would get a slap in the face soon enough.
Unexpectedly, Qin Muxiao continued to dig her own grave by saying, “What? Can’t speak?”
At this moment, they heard surprised gasps and whispers from the surrounding students. “Why is Wei Zhiqian here?”
“And Qin Mufeng, he is back too!”
“I see Qi Chengzhi is back too.”
“And Han Zhuoli…”
“Chu Zhaoyang is also here.”
“Why is Yan Beicheng also back?”
“Wei Ziqi is also back.”
“And Zhao Gushen…”
“What’s going on? Except for Wei Zhiqian, didn’t everyone else go to school abroad? Why did they all come back suddenly?”
“Could it be that the school invited them back as guests?”
“They never came back in previous years.”
Qin Muxiao looked over at all of them in shock.
These former legendary figures of Jixia Academy have all returned.
Only when they were all attending school at Jixia Academy did they ever gather like this.
After they graduated, Jixia Academy had never been able to get them together at the same time.
But today, they actually all came together!
Qin Muxiao’s heart beat faster. She had a bad feeling of deja vu.
“Brother!”
“Little Uncle!”
Tan Mo and Qin Muye immediately shook off Qin Muxiao and ran over.
Ming Yeqing also followed.
However, Qin Muye suddenly stopped again. She turned around and asked Qin Muxiao mockingly, “Qin Muxiao, does this slap in the face hurt?”
Qin Muxiao trembled with rage. She clenched her fists tightly, and only then was she able to regain her composure.
Qin Muye and Tan Mo no longer gave her the time of day. They ran toward Wei Zhiqian and the others.
“These people…” Fang Xiaowen hesitated. Then she asked, “Could it be that they are here to attend Tan Mo’s graduation ceremony?”
“How is that possible?” Qin Muxiao insisted.
However, as soon as she had said that, she heard Tan Mo ask timidly, “Little Uncles, why are you all here?”
After so many years, except for Wei Zhiqian, she still felt awkward when calling anyone else Little Uncle.
“Of course we came to attend your graduation ceremony. It’s rare for us to come back, and we happened to all be in City B. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate if we didn’t come?” Zhao Gushen answered.
“If we didn’t come despite being in City B, your Little Uncle would be angry with us.” Han Zhuoli gestured toward Wei Zhiqian with his chin.
“I didn’t expect that they really came to Tan Mo’s graduation ceremony,” Mo Zishan muttered.
Fang Xiaowen glanced at Qin Mufeng and had an idea. She said, “Muxiao, don’t you want to go say hello to your brother?”
“No.” Qin Muxiao made up an excuse. “There are so many people, so I can’t be bothered to go socialize.”
If she went and Qin Mufeng ignored her, wouldn’t she be exposed?
Fang Xiaowen pursed her lips.
They were the heirs of the Eight Great Clans. Wasn’t it stupid not to go over?
They have all been kissing up to Qin Muxiao because they wanted to get to know those people through her.
Now, the opportunity has come, but Qin Muxiao wouldn’t go.
Fang Xiaowen and Mo Zishan exchanged glances.
How come it seems that Qin Muxiao’s relationship with them wasn’t as good as Tan Mo’s?
Everyone’s eyes were on Wei Zhiqian and the others.
Who said Tan Mo lied?
Who said Tan Mo had nothing to do with Wei Zhiqian?
It was clear that their relationship was very good. Wei Zhiqian even brought seven other people over to cheer Tan Mo on.
“What did Tan Mo call Wei Zhiqian?” someone asked in a low voice.
“It sounded like Little Uncle.”
“People probably treat their own nieces like that,” someone said with awe.
The people who originally hadn’t paid attention to the Tan family and ignored them were all looking at them now. Regret flashed across their faces, and they all wanted to get acquainted with the Tan family.
Seeing the ridicule on the faces of the three brothers from the Tan family, Wei Zhiqian smiled and said to Tan Wenci, “They won’t dare to come over now, but later, many people will take the initiative to come to you to talk about business and so on. You need to take the Wei family into account. They took the initiative anyway. There’s no reason not to make money when the opportunity arrives. You don’t need to accept or promise anything other than making money.”
Realization dawned upon Tan Wenci.
Although he had always complained about Wei Zhiqian snatching his Mo Mo away, he had to admit that Wei Zhiqian was really outstanding.
His three sons really didn’t have any business acumen. Their mockery was written on their faces now, so obviously they didn’t think of things as deep a level as Wei Zhiqian did.
“Little Uncle.” At this moment, a hesitant male voice sounded.
Tan Mo looked over. It turned out that Wei Keli had come.
But what was even more interesting to Tan Mo was that Yuan Keqing was actually following Wei Keli.
Tan Mo really wanted to give Yuan Keqing a thumbs-up.
She was simply too impressive!
When they were together at their house last time, Wei Keli’s face was clearly full of doubt about Yuan Keqing.
It was as if he had found out that Yuan Keqing didn’t seem to be who he thought she was.
She didn’t know how Yuan Keqing had beguiled Wei Keli so that Wei Keli seemed to have forgotten what she had done and had brought her to the graduation ceremony.
“Aunt, cousin,” Yuan Keqing exclaimed.
Xu Mingzhen lowered her head and chuckled silently. Yuan Keqing was quite capable.
“Are you here to attend Keli’s graduation ceremony?” Xu Mingzhen asked derisively.
