Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion Chapter 372 - Youre Treating Uncle So Well

Chapter 372: You’re Treating Uncle So Well “Yuan Keqing said that Keli was trying to pull her out, but when I went to see…” Xu Mingzhen looked as if she couldn’t bear to continue talking. “Don’t you agree that to pull someone out, naturally you should use a pulling action, right?”
Li Xiangrong did not answer.
However, she did not deny the truth of what Xu Mingzhen had said, and her silence could be taken as consent.
“When I went in, they were both seated in the pool,” Xu Mingzhen continued. “There was no pulling action. Keli was hugging Yuan Keqing, and Yuan Keqing was lying in Keli’s embrace. Keli’s hand was on Yuan Keqing’s back and even…even…
Xu Mingzhen shook her head helplessly. “I can’t say it!
“Anyway, no matter who saw their situation, they couldn’t have come to a misunderstanding,” Xu Mingzhen said. “Perhaps Keli is young and hot-blooded and was unable to resist temptation. However, no matter what, I felt that if I had been a moment later, the deed would have been done…”
Xu Mingzhen saw Li Xiangrong’s expression darken. She did not look well.
Xu Mingzhen had not said it directly.
“I am not insisting that there was something between them. However, Yuan Keqing’s parents are not around, and as we are only her aunt and uncle, we cannot decide for her,” Xu Mingzhen said. “We really feel we can’t interfere in this matter between her and Keli. Moreover, she has not stopped crying and will not answer anything we’ve asked. My guess is that we will not be able to get any answer today.
“You have the right to interfere in this matter between Keli and Yuan Keqing. If you are not satisfied with Keqing, as Keli’s mother, you also have the right to speak. However, as her aunt, I do not have the right to manage too much.
“Moreover, the relationship between our family and Yuan Keqing’s family is not close. Their family has always felt that our family does not want them to do well. If I interfere in this matter, they might feel that I hate Yuan Keqing for stealing Keli, and that I am not happy to see that their daughter has found a good match and can marry into a rich family.
“I am already annoyed with them. If they come to our house about this matter, my husband will be very annoyed. Ever since I married him, we have been cleaning up the Yuan family’s messes, and I feel sorry for him and do not want to inflict anything else on him.”
“Then why…did you bring her here?” Li Xiangrong could not help but blame her.
If she had not brought Yuan Keqing here, all this would not have happened.

“You have seen her crying skills just now.” Xu Mingzhen felt helpless. “She brought her mother and my mother to my house and was adamant about talking to me and wouldn’t leave until I gave in. The mother and daughter cried together, while my mother scolded me.”
Xu Mingzhen thought that she was being a good daughter to Old Madame Xu, and she didn’t have any problem with putting the blame on her.
Moreover, Old Madame Xu wasn’t even here.
It was rare than Old Madame Xu could finally be of use after all these years, and she should help Xu Mingzhen a little bit.
Yuan Keqing was here because it had been arranged by Wei Zhiqian.
Naturally, the matter of Yuan Keqing, Xu Mingjing, and Old Madame Xu having made a fuss at the Tan family home did not happen.
“If I did not agree, they would not leave my place. They even mentioned the incident from years ago, about attending Old Madame Wei’s birthday banquet, and said that I did not take Yuan Keqing there that time, but hadn’t Yuan Keqing attended it herself? If I didn’t bring Yuan Keqing this time, Yuan Keqing would still have thought of a way to come. However, if anything happened, don’t blame them for not warning me.
“Do you still remember how Yuan Keqing entered and attended Old Madame Wei’s birthday banquet that time?” Xu Mingzhen reminded her.
Li Xiangrong’s expression got even darker.
She remembered it very well!
Xu Mingzhen’s words had brought a clear picture of it to her mind.
If Xu Mingzhen had not bought Yuan Keqing this time, would Yuan Keqing have approached Wei Keli again to bring her?
It was different this time.
It was after all Old Madame Wei’s birthday banquet that time. As a member of the Wei family, although it was not appropriate for him to have done so, the matter was still salvageable.
However, Wei Keli had no relation at all to the Qin family.

He was not like Tan Mo who at least was close with Qin Muye.
If he really had brought Yuan Keqing in, it would have caused an uproar.
Li Xiangrong didn’t say anything else.
Xu Mingzhen sighed heavily. “What luck do I have to have such family members? I had no choice. To settle this matter, I could only agree.”
Li Xiangrong sighed. It was not easy for Xu Mingzhen.
Anyway, Xu Mingzhen had clearly expressed that as an aunt, she was not able to interfere in this matter.
If they really had to get down to it, Li Xiangrong and her husband would have to discuss this with Yuan Keqing’s parents.
Both returned to the living room.
Yuan Keqing was still sobbing and wiping away her tears.
“All right, this is not such a huge matter. It is about a relationship between youngsters, so we will not interfere,” Xu Mingzhen said. “We are going to leave now.”
Wei Keli’s mouth moved, and he could not stop himself from calling out, “Mo Mo.”
Tan Mo was not willing to become entangled with Wei Keli and turned to ask, “Brother Keli, do you recall how you got Keqing’s room cardkey?”
“……” Wei Keli stammered, “I…I…”
“Go ahead, I will catch up with you later,” Wei Zhiqian said to Tan Mo.
Tan Mo was completely surprised that when they left, Tan Wenci unexpectedly said, “If they don’t take too long, let’s wait for Zhiqian.”

“Dad, why are you treating Uncle so well suddenly?” If it had been in the past, Tan Wenci wouldn’t have been able to leave quickly enough.
He’d have loved to lock the door quickly before Wei Zhiqian could catch up with them and keep Wei Zhiqian outside.
“This time, thanks to Zhiqian, you did not fall into that trap.” There was mirth in Xu Mingzhen’s voice as she said, “Our family is grateful to him.”
However, as Tan Mo was shocked by as small a matter as waiting for Wei Zhiqian, how bad had their attitude been to Wei Zhiqian in the past?
It was to Wei Zhiqian’s credit that he did not mind and still treated Tan Mo well.
Tan Mo blinked. She could tell from Xu Mingzhen’s words that Xu Mingzhen catching Wei Keli and Yuan Keqing in the act had probably been agreed upon between Wei Zhiqian and her.
However, it was not convenient to ask her here.
She could only ask her when they returned home.
In the villa, now, in front of Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong, Wei Zhiqian said to Wei Keli, “Didn’t I warn you to keep a distance from Tan Mo and to not have any ideas about her?”
“I didn’t have any ideas about her after Uncle mentioned it.” Wei Keli pretended to not understand. “Uncle, why have you suddenly said this?”
“Do you really think that I don’t know what you planned with Qin Murong and her sister?” Wei Zhiqian did not care that he had exposed Yuan Keqing when he said this.
He did not have any desire to help Yuan Keqing anyway.
Yuan Keqing had thought of using Tan Mo to get what she wanted…?
She could dream on.
She seemed to have eventually succeeded.
However, even if she succeeded, Wei Zhiqian would not make it easy for her.
Yuan Keqing became instantly nervous.
