âAuntie Wei missed you.â Xu Mingzhen smiled gently. âAre you afraid that no one will play with you there? Donât worry. Isnât your brother Keli there? He will play with you.â
âI donât want to play with him.â Since she knew how cold-hearted and treacherous Wei Keli would be in the future, she didnât want to establish any relationship with him. Tan Mo felt that there was no need to interact with Wei Keli at all.
Xu Mingzhen was taken aback and asked, âWhy? Did he bully you?â
On the other hand, Tan Mo couldnât slander Wei Keli either.
Up until now, Wei Keli had treated her very well.
He took care of her and let her have her way in everything.
Of course, this was all before her calculating cousin had appeared.
After knowing that Wei Keli would harm her because of her scheming cousin, Tan Mo didnât bother to show Wei Keli her level of tea art.
âNo, he didnât,â Tan Mo muttered. âItâs just that heâs boring to play with.â
âLet us go with our sister.â
Upon hearing the voice of the Tan familyâs third child, Xu Mingzhen tilted her head and then saw Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi following behind their older brother Tan Jinqi.
âJinqi has a photography class later. Jinsheng has a piano lesson. And, Tan Jinyi, you have an oil painting lesson.â Xu Mingzhen took notice of each. âWhere would the three of you be accompanying your sister to?â
At this time, the familyâs maid, Auntie Guo, came upstairs. âMadam, Miss Keqing is here.â
Xu Mingzhen was taken aback. âWhy did she come today?â
Xu Mingjing said before that she wanted to bring Yuan Keqing over to play today.
Itâs just that she had made the appointment with Li Xiangrong a long time ago. Today, she was taking Tan Mo to the Wei familyâs house. She informed Xu Mingjing about it beforehand.
Therefore, Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing should know that she and Tan Mo wouldnât be here today.
Xu Mingzhen was obviously surprised and then immediately went downstairs to pick up Yuan Keqing.
Tan Jinyi curled his lips. âWhy is she here again?â
âI think she did it on purpose,â Tan Jinqi said coldly.
âWhat do you think is her purpose? Brother, quickly, spill the beans.â Tan Mo was also interested.
âBrother, please tell me as well.â
As soon as Tan Jinqi lowered his head, he saw that his younger brothers and sister were all looking at him.
Suddenly, Big Brother Tan felt like a hero.
Expectant eyes were on him.
At this time, Tan Jinqi, who had grown up to be a 14-year-old boy, explained to his brothers and sister, âOur aunt knew that today, Mom was going to take our sister to the Wei familyâs house, yet she still sent Yuan Keqing here. She definitely wanted Mom to bring Yuan Keqing along with them.â
Tan Jinqi took the opportunity to educate his younger brothers and sister, âYou should all be careful of Yuan Keqing. Despite her young age, sheâs very scheming.â
At such a young age, she was already so calculating. She wasnât likable at all.
âIâve always disliked her,â Tan Jinsheng commented. âSheâs too pretentious.â
âI donât like her either,â Tan Jinyi said with puffed-out cheeks. âSheâs always trying to get close to Mo Mo.â
âEspecially Mo Mo.â Tan Jianqi squatted down and asked Tan Mo, âYou two are the same age, and she always comes to play with you. Itâs okay for you two to play together, but you should be on guard against her.â
Tan Mo recalled that in her previous life, her older brother must have also asked her to do the same thing, but Tan Mo didnât heed his warnings. Instead, she became best friends with Yuan Keqing.
At that time, fearing that Tan Mo would be schemed against, her three older brothers must have been worried but kept it to themselves.
Tan Mo looked at her eldest brother and thought of his lonely and miserable death in his previous life.
She sniffled, suppressed the sorrow in her heart, then nodded earnestly, and promised him, âDonât worry, Brother, I will remember your words.â
Tan Mo, earnestly nodding with her chubby face, appeared especially cute in his eyes.
Tan Jinsheng couldnât help but chime in, âMy sister is so cute!â
âLetâs go! Letâs go downstairs and take a look,â Tan Jinqi suggested. Tan Mo got up and stretched out her arms toward him.
âBrother, carry me,â Tan Mo requested.
How could Tan Jinqi refuse such a request from his baby sister? He quickly bent over to carry Tan Mo.
Tan Jinyi looked at them with envy. He had tried to carry Tan Mo before, but he couldnât support her weight.
The 12-year-old said, âWhen I grow up a little bit, I will also be able to carry my sister.â
Tan Mo thought, âWhen you grow up a little bit, I would also grow up too. How would you be able to carry me then?â
But she clapped her hands expectantly. âThen Iâll wait for you, Second Brother.â
Second Brother Tan was very satisfied.
The four siblings went downstairs, but they only saw Yuan Keqing there.
âElder Cousin!â Yuan Keqing saw Tan Mo and waved at them with a sweet smile on her face.
âBig Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother!â Yuan Keqing cried out to them with an affectionate expression on her face.
Tan Jinqi nodded coldly, and his two younger brothers in the back followed suit.
Tan Mo smiled and thought, âYuan Keqing had called me cousin, but she called my brothers âbrother.â How especially scheming of her.â
Although Yuan Keqing was calling her elder cousin, Yuan Keqing was only half a month younger than Tan Mo, and they were even the same age.
âWhy are you here, Younger Sister?â Tan Mo looked around, but she didnât see Xu Mingjing. âWhereâs my aunt?â
âMom wasnât at home, and I was bored being all alone, so I asked my auntie to send me over here.â Yuan Keqing raised her head. Tan Mo was too high because she was being held by Tan Jinqi, and Yuan Keqingâs neck was sore from looking up the entire time.
Although Tan Jinqi was 14 years old, he still couldnât hold Tan Mo for too long. At the moment, he was a bit tired, but he just couldnât bear to let his sister down.
Tan Mo held Tan Jinqiâs neck with both hands, tilted her head, and said, âBut Iâm going to see Brother Keli to play today.â
The Tan brothers instantly knew that Tan Mo shouldnât have said that.
How could their sister tell Yuan Keqing that?
If Yuan Keqing found out, wouldnât she take advantage of the opportunity to tag along?
Yuan Keqing was astonishingly opportunistic despite her young age. She would take every opportunity to climb the social ladder.
âHuh?â Yuan Keqing looked surprised and at a loss. âIâŠI didnât know.â
Tan Mo tilted her head and asked suspiciously, âDidnât my aunt tell you?â
Yuan Keqing pitifully shook her head. âNo.â
âIf I had known, I wouldnât have come.â Yuan Keqing was toying with her shirt. âI just missed you, so I wanted to come over to play with you, Cousin.â
Yuan Keqing raised her head, blushed, and asked, âCousin, can I go with you? Iâm the only one at home, and I have no one to play with me. I donât want to play all by myself.â
Upon seeing Tan Mo tilting her head to think about it, Yuan Keqing immediately said, âItâs okay if you donât take me. I wonât blame you. I know you have no obligation to take me. It was my fault because I didnât inform you that Iâm coming here. Even if you donât agree, I wonât think youâre selfish and have no sense of sisterhood.â
Tan Jinqiâs face darkened.
He didnât like how Yuan Keqing was talking.
Did she mean that by not taking her, Tan Mo was selfish and had no sense of sisterhood?
However, Yuan Keqing mentioned that she wouldnât think so.
His sister couldnât even refuse her.
âOkay,â Tan Mo replied with no sulkiness or displeasure on her face.
Upon seeing Yuan Keqingâs surprised expression, Tan Mo smiled and clapped her hands. âCousin, how could your little head think about so much in such a short amount of time? Iâm definitely going to take you there. How could I leave you behind?â
âReally? Thank you, Cousin!â Yuan Keqing smiled at her silly and beautiful cousin.
The Tan brothers were suddenly worried.
Silly sister! How could she bring Yuan Keqing?
Yuan Keqing made it clear that she knew that she was going to see Wei Keli today, so she came here especially just to social climb through the Wei family.
Their sister was so naive. Without them, they wouldnât know if she was bullied by Yuan Keqing.
Tan Mo snickered in her heart. Yuan Keqingâs character was really unsightly.
The little snow fairy could see from the mirror that Tan Mo really fell in love with Wei Keli in her lifetime, yet Wei Keli couldnât let go of Yuan Keqing even while dating Tan Mo.
Although it was Yuan Keqing who tried to kill Tan Mo, Wei Keli actually knew about it, but he didnât say or do anything.
In the eyes of the little snow fairy, Wei Keli was an accomplice.
He basically had a hand in killing his childhood sweetheart.
In this life, Yuan Keqing had never seen Wei Keli before today.
Looking forward to their first meeting, Tan Mo clapped her little hands.
