Chapter 39: Carry Her and Leave
Tan Mo nodded obediently. “I will remember.”
Butler Zhou silently noted the Tan family’s reaction.
Seeing that the Tan family was united, he felt assured in his heart.
Tan Mo was spoiled by the Tan family ever since she was a child, but she wasn’t the slightest bit a brat.
Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen raised her well, and the child was sensible.
Noticing that the Tan family’s mood calmed down, Butler Zhou spoke again. “Young Master Wei also said that starting from today, Mo Mo will go to Wei Mansion after school every day, and he will tutor Mo Mo himself. Mo Mo will also go there on weekends.”
“What?” everyone replied in unison.
This matter was abruptly decided.
Tan Mo’s ambitious goal was already enough to shock them.
Although they all supported it, the shock hadn’t subsided yet.
Who knew that Butler Zhou would soon announce that Tan Mo would go directly to the Wei family’s house daily after school?
Their minds went blank.
Next, they heard Butler Zhou continue. “Young Master Wei means that after school, Mo Mo will have dinner in the Wei Mansion. After their tutorials, Young Master Wei will send Mo Mo back.”
As soon as everyone heard this, the Tan family finally reacted.
“No!” everyone responded in unison.
They had just uttered the word “no” when Butler Zhou picked up Tan Mo and went out.
“Don’t worry. She’ll be safe. I’ll take Miss Mo Mo to the Wei family’s house first.” Butler Zhou got into the car with Tan Mo in his arms and urged the driver, “To the mansion.”
The driver stepped on the gas and remarked, “Young Master Wei asked you to pick up Miss Mo Mo. Why are you acting as if you’re kidnapping her?”
“I’m just afraid that they won’t let her go.” Butler Zhou was stressed.
Wei Zhiqian’s instruction to him was, “The Tan family regards Mo Mo more important than life. They definitely will not let her go. Don’t give them a chance to react. Just pick her up and then leave.”
Butler Zhou thought, ‘Wei Zhiqian was really not afraid of the Tan family calling the police and arresting him.’
The Tan family moved quickly and followed behind them.
Wei Zhiqian had also anticipated this.
Because Wei Zhiqian also said to Butler Zhou, “If you leave with Mo Mo, they will definitely run after you. Just let them follow you, and I will explain everything to them. This won’t delay Mo Mo coming to our house.”
They wouldn’t have to spend a lot of time persuading the Tan family.
Tan Jinyi tightly clutched the back of the seat in front of him as he spoke worriedly, “Could that person be a human trafficker in disguise?”
Mo Mo was adorable, so the trafficker must have been stalking her for a long time. He even came to their house to snatch her away!
Xu Mingzhen said, “That’s not the case. He’s indeed the butler of the Wei family. On the day we went to the birthday party, Butler Zhou was also there. I saw him attending to Wei Zhiqian.”
“Let’s call the police! Wei Zhiqian is going to snatch Mo Mo away! Mo Mo belongs to our family!” Tan Jinsheng gritted his teeth.
“It’s really shameless to make Mo Mo stay at his home even for dinner and on weekends!” Tan Jinyi was seething in anger. “Now that Mo Mo has started school, we don’t have much time to see Mo Mo during the day.”
“No matter what, we can’t let him snatch Mo Mo away!” Tan Wenci closely followed behind Butler Zhou’s car. “We must ask questions. We must negotiate. We can’t let Mo Mo stay there for so long.”
“Mo Mo clearly belongs to our family. Why do we have to negotiate with him?” Tan Jinqi hit the nail on the head.
These words were really distressing to say out loud.
How could the young master take Tan Mo away without considering her parents’ plans and decisions? Wasn’t it because they were the ones who gave Tan Mo a slot at Jixia Academy? Or because they weren’t as powerful as the Wei family?
Butler Zhou brought Tan Mo to the Wei Mansion.
Wei Zhiqian was waiting at the door.
Now that it was completely dark, except for the lights from the window and the street lamp at the entrance of the Wei Mansion, the only source of light was the moon.
When Tan Mo was taken out of the car, she saw Wei Zhiqian waiting for her.
The teenager’s figure was outstanding. Standing under the moonlight, he appeared taller than usual.
Upon seeing Tan Mo in the arms of Butler Zhou, a smile formed on Wei Zhiqian’s lips.
He walked toward Tan Mo.
The figure gradually appeared in the area illuminated by the street lights.
The light made his facial features more visible.
The light shone on his face.
His skin was as fair as porcelain and had the soft glow of jade.
Although she had listened to poetry thousands of years ago, at this moment, Tan Mo, as if she hadn’t seen the world, still couldn’t help but marvel at Wei Zhiqian. “Little Uncle is so good-looking!”
“Little Uncle!” Tan Mo was completely fascinated by his looks, and her starry eyes beheld the handsome teenager’s strikingly gorgeous facial features.
Just when Tan Mo stretched out her arms to hug Wei Zhiqian, Tan Wenci also arrived.
He anxiously parked the car behind Butler Zhou’s car, and the whole family rushed out of the car.
“Mo Mo!” Tan Wenci called.
Wei Zhiqian was trying to appear calm, but in reality, he was anxious.
On the surface, he appeared composed, but his actions gave him away. He took Tan Mo swiftly and carried her steadily.
At a loss for words, the Tan family looked at Wei Zhiqian.
How could the dignified young master of the Wei family snatch away other people’s child?
“Young Master Wei, what’s going on?” For the sake of his daughter, Tan Wenci wasn’t intimidated when he spoke to Wei Zhiqian. “Just now, right after Butler Zhou finished speaking, we haven’t inquired further and the news hasn’t sunk in yet when he took Mo Mo away. That is inappropriate.”
“Even if you want to tutor Mo Mo, you have to discuss matters with us before deciding. How can you just take her away without asking for our permission?” Tan Jinqi frowned with dissatisfaction. Seeing Tan Mo being held by Wei Zhiqian in his arms, he felt more annoyed. “Mo Mo, come, let me carry you.”
Tan Mo looked at Wei Zhiqian and then looked at Tan Jinqi. She felt very conflicted.
No matter who she was with, she would hurt the other’s feelings.
Just when Tan Mo was about to use the green tea method, Wei Zhiqian put her on the ground and let her stand there.
He then held Tan Mo’s hand. “Uncle, Auntie, please come in. Let’s go in and talk about this.”
Tan Wenci nodded and led his wife and children into the Wei Mansion with Wei Zhiqian.
This was their first visit to the Wei family’s house, but no one was in the mood to marvel at the mansion at this moment.
The three brothers’ eyes were glued to Tan Mo. They feared that Tan Mo would be snatched by Wei Zhiqian.
When they sat down, the three brothers hugged Tan Mo and placed her between them.
They wished they could just carry Tan Mo and leave now.
“Butler Zhou, what did you say to the Tan family?” Wei Zhiqian asked as he turned his head.
Butler Zhou stood beside the couch where Wei Zhiqian was sitting. He lowered his head and said, “According to your instructions, I told them all of your plans.”
Wei Zhiqian nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the door of Wei Mansion opened.
After a while, they saw Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan come in.
