Chapter 95: Couple Dreaming
“…” The Old Madame’s first reaction was to look behind her. Could it be that Tan Mo had already come?
After turning around and finding that no one was here yet, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned around and complained, “Why are you trying to sow discord?”
“Why are you making such a big deal about Ming Yeqing?” the Old Master asked.
“If he’s satisfactory, then when the children reach adulthood, perhaps they can become a couple. How great would that be?” The Old Madame was already thinking about the future. “He and Mo Mo have known each other since childhood so they know each other’s backgrounds. It would be really reassuring for them to be together.”
“No matter what, when Mo Mo falls in love in the future, I will have to check him out.” The Old Madame was now more concerned about Mo Mo’s future than about Wei Zhiqian’s.
“Girls are different from boys. If people marry the wrong person, they can get a divorce, but the consequences won’t be the same.” When the Old Madame thought of Tan Mo’s adorable face, she couldn’t bear to have her suffer the slightest bit of harm. “So we have to be as sure as possible from the beginning to avoid injury.”
“I won’t accept anyone who is not as outstanding as our Mo Mo.” The Old Master said very proudly, “Like this one who scored five points less, there is no way!”
The Old Madame: “…”
She really couldn’t be bothered to reason with this old man anymore.
As the two elders bantered with each other like this, Wei Zhiqian came in with Tan Mo.
“Great Grandpa, Great Grandma!” As soon as Tan Mo entered the door, she threw herself into the arms of the Old Madame and said, “How are you doing? Have you had any discomfort?”
While asking, Tan Mo quietly checked out the Old Madame.
Tan Mo often came to the old mansion, and when she did she often discreetly checked the two elders.
Even though the Old Madame’s headaches had been cured, a little bit of energy could still be delivered every time she came.
She would treat the disease if there was a disease, prevent it if there was no disease, and prolong their lives along the way.
“It’s okay, we are all okay!” The Old Madame looked at Tan Mo with a smile, then touched her small face and her arms. “On the other hand, has your body recovered?”
“I’m fine.” Tan Mo even squeezed out a little muscle on her arm and said, “I recovered very quickly.”
She had only had a fever because of overusing her powers.
After the high fever had subsided, she’d repaired herself and soon recovered.
“Let me take a good look at you two top scorers.” The Old Madame pulled Ming Yeqing over with her other hand. “You two are like a golden couple.”
They were a perfect match, a very perfect match.
Wei Zhiqian narrowed his eyes. The Old Madame’s expression seemed really familiar.
This was how she reacted when she sees couples she likes in TV series.
Wei Zhiqian hurriedly pulled Tan Mo over. “What golden couple? There is a five point difference between them.”
“The perfect score liberal arts top scorer is out of the league of someone who is five points short.” Wei Zhiqian looked disdainful and was determined not to let Tan Mo stand with Ming Yeqing.
The Old Madame: “…”
Like grandfather, like grandson, even their ways of thinking were the same.
“The Old Master wanted to call the lion dance team over to celebrate and make things lively, but I stopped him.” The Old Madame explained to Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, “I saw that there was no information about these two children in the news, so I guessed that you two probably don’t want the identities of the two children to be leaked. So let’s keep a low profile.
“Otherwise, if things got too lively and people asked why it’s so lively here, they might find out that the top scorers on the college entrance examination are here,” the Old Madame spoke animatedly. “Then, with some more probing, they might be able to find out more details.”
The Old Madame really couldn’t bring herself to say that they were actually guarding against Yuan Keqing.
No matter what, Xu Mingzhen was still Yuan Keqing’s aunt and Xu Mingjing’s sister.
They could fight among themselves, but if outsiders knew about this, the meaning would be different. Xu Mingzhen might feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, the Old Madame had come up with an excuse.
“How thoughtful of you.” Xu Mingzhen was very appreciative and impressed with the Old Madame’s consideration. “In fact, just now on the road, Wenci already received a call from a reporter. He tried to ask for information. Wenci refused but the other party refused to give up. Afterward, for some reason, the other party stopped asking questions. We were very relieved.”
“Little Uncle gave instructions for the media not to ask about me,” Tan Mo said immediately.
After getting out of the car, Tan Mo hadn’t had a chance to tell anyone yet.
When Tan Mo said this, Tan Wenci instantly felt ashamed.
As a father, he was too useless. At a critical time, he still had to rely on Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Zhiqian did all the good deeds.
How enviable!
Wei Zhiqian also told them that President Mu of Beijing University had contacted Tan Mo.
The two elders knew that Tan Mo had decided to go to Beijing University a long time ago.
“What a lucky kid!” The Old Master was extremely proud. He wanted to suppress his smile but he couldn’t, so he tried even harder. In the end, the corners of his mouth started twitching.
After celebrating in the old mansion, another five days passed.
On Monday was the graduation ceremony held by Jixia Academy for seniors.
Now was the time when everyone knew their exam results but hadn’t yet chosen their universities, and the enrollment cut-off points of universities hadn’t yet come out.
Since Jixia Academy went from elementary school to high school, it only held graduation ceremonies for senior high school graduates every year.
Only when graduating from the third year of high school did they truly graduate from Jixia Academy.
All students from elementary school to high school attended the graduation ceremony.
High school graduates could also invite relatives and friends to witness their graduation from Jixia Academy.
And on this day only Jixia Academy will be open to people other than their students.
Tan Wenci and the Tan family’s three brothers specially asked for leaves of absence to attend Tan Mo’s graduation ceremony.
When the three Tan family brothers asked for leaves of absence at school, the teachers were already used to it.
The reason for the three of them asking for leave was always their sister.
Tan Jinqi’s counselor: “What is the reason for you asking for leave this time?”
Tan Jinqi: “My sister is graduating from high school.”
Counselor: “She is graduating from high school so soon?”
Tan Jinqi: “She is a genius.”
Counselor: “…I know, okay, go, go!”
The counselor didn’t want to listen to Tan Jinqi talk about his sister anymore.
Tan Jinsheng’s counselor: “What happened to your sister this time?”
Tan Jinsheng: “She is graduating from high school, and I’m going to attend her graduation ceremony. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I can’t miss it. If I missed it, I don’t deserve to be her brother. I wrote a song for her. Should I sing it for you here?”
Counselor: “It’s okay, okay, don’t sing anything, go, it’s approved.”
Otherwise, who knew how long Tan Jinsheng would babble on.
He was a student with musical talent, but it was a pity that he was such a blabbermouth.
Tan Jinyi: “Teacher, I want to ask for a leave.”
