Chapter 683: The Bully

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I’m sorry… It’s my fault.” Li Xiangrong could only swallow her unwillingness and bitterness.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Tan Mo looking at her.
When she thought about how she had behaved in such a low and embarrassing manner and how Tan Mo had actually seen all of them, she felt extremely embarrassed.
Her face was flushed red.
Li Xiangrong thought that even if Tan Mo had broken up with Wei Zhiqian, she could no longer treat Tan Mo like she used to.
Tan Mo had bullied Wei Keli for Wei Zhiqian’s sake, and Tan Mo embarrassed her in front of so many people.
Li Xiangrong felt that all her sincerity towards Tan Mo in the past had been fed to the dogs.
“I do apologize, Zhiqian.” Li Xiangrong knew what she had to do. She stood up, turned around, and said to Wei Zhiqian, “Zhiqian, I was worried just now. Please, forgive me.”
Wei Zhiqian remained silent. He only raised his eyebrows and didn’t say whether he had forgiven her or not.
However, Tan Mo knew that he had already said the hurtful words, and now she wanted people to forgive her just by apologizing. It was really disgusting to pretend that nothing had happened.
Moreover, Li Xiangrong didn’t really apologize.
Li Xiangrong said two sentences just now, but she didn’t apologize at all.
She didn’t even say that she was sorry. Instead, she asked Wei Zhiqian not to blame her.
Tan Mo stood beside Wei Zhiqian angrily. She was completely on Wei Keli’s side.
“If you’re not going to apologize, then shut that mouth of yours.” Old Madam Wei’s face was dark as she said unhappily, “Up until now, you weren’t apologizing at all. You just opened your mouth and asked Zhiqian not to blame you.”
Tan Mo looked at Old Madam Wei with a face full of admiration.
Old Madam Wei indeed noticed the main point in Li Xiangrong’s words and did not let Li Xiangrong get away with it.
Old Madam Wei was talking to Li Xiangrong when she suddenly felt a burning gaze.
Old Madam Wei subconsciously looked over and saw Tan mo looking at her with a face full of admiration.
Old Madam Wei immediately felt extremely proud.
Being looked at with such admiration by Tan Mo, Old Madam Wei could not help but straighten her back with a face full of pride.
As expected, her eyes were like torches, and her thoughts were meticulous. Such excellence could not be concealed.
“Looks like Tan Mo could tell how excellent I am,” thought Old Madam Wei.
Tan Mo worshiped her like a hero!
“I was wondering why Keli had been so cheeky. So it was because he was influenced by you.” Old Madam Wei sneered. “How is this an apology? You are clearly forcing Zhiqian to forgive you.”
“You have really become a good sister-in-law, bullying your own brother-in-law like this.” Old Madam Wei did not care about embarrassing Li Xiangrong.
Anyway, what she said wasn’t a lie, and it wasn’t wrong.
It was just making Li Xiangrong a little embarrassed in front of everyone.
If Li Xiangrong wanted respect, she should earn it.
She shouldn’t blame other people for making her feel embarrassed if she wasn’t showing any respect.
“That’s not what I meant.” Li Xiangrong’s face flushed red.
Although Li Xiangrong said that she didn’t mean it, the truth was that she really did mean it.
Although she was Wei Zhiqian’s sister-in-law, she was much older than Wei Zhiqian.
She had always felt that she was Wei Zhiqian’s elder and that Wei Zhiqian should give her the respect she deserved.
Although Sheng Yilan was usually dissatisfied with Li Xiangrong, after all, how many people had a good relationship with their mother-in-law?
Who was like Xiao Menghan, who could be so thick-skinned as to curry favor with Old Madam Wei? No matter what Old Madam Wei said, she would always be right. She did not dare to have her own opinions.
Xiao Menghan was the daughter of everyone. How could she be so shameless?
In any case, Sheng Yilan did not like her.
However, no matter how much she looked down on Li Xiangrong, she could not bear to see Li Xiangrong being scolded so badly by Old Madam Wei that she could not even retort.
Even if Old Madam Wei did not look at anything else, she should at least do it for the sake of Wei Mingxiao.
Sheng Yilan took a deep breath and said, “Xiangrong is in the wrong in this matter, Mom.”
“Xiangrong, apologize properly!” Sheng Yilan said sternly, “There are so many juniors here, and you still want to embarrass yourself in front of them?”
It was also a reminder to Old Madam Wei that there were still many juniors here.
Even if she wanted to teach Li Xiangrong a lesson, she should at least not embarrass her too much.
Sheng Yilan was telling Old Madam Wei that she shouldn’t go too far.
Old Madam Wei lifted her lips coldly.
Even Old Mister Wei’s face darkened.
Who couldn’t tell what Sheng Yilan was trying to imply?
Old Madam Wei thought to herself that they always complained that she favored her youngest son and daughter-in-law, which was Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan. But they didn’t even look at how nasty the others were!
Li Xiangrong took a deep breath and said to Wei Zhiqian with red eyes, “Zhiqian, I’m sorry. Zhiqian, I was careless and said inappropriate things to you. You…”
She wanted to say, “Don’t take it to heart,” but she was afraid that Old Madam Wei would seize the opportunity to blame her again.
She stopped what she was about to say and changed her words. “It’s only right that you blame me.”
“If you want to apologize, then just say you’re sorry. What’s up with all these meaningless words,” Old Madam Wei said unhappily.
Fortunately, Li Xiangrong was only Wei Zhiqian’s sister-in-law.
If she were another elder of the family, people would think that Wei Zhiqian was disrespectful to his elders!
Li Xiangrong was extremely unconvinced. She lowered her head and gritted her teeth.
No matter what she said, Old Madam Wei would always be dissatisfied.
Sheng Yilan turned to Old Madam Wei and said earnestly, “Dad, Mom, it’s her fault for blaming Zhiqian when she didn’t know the whole story of the situation.”
“There’s usually a ‘but’ after those words,” thought Tan Mo.
“But…” Sheng Yilan turned around and said again.
Tan Mo had been expecting this.
Then she heard Sheng Yilan say, “Keli is in the wrong. We should teach him a good lesson and criticize him. But we can’t break his fingers. Isn’t… isn’t this a bit too ruthless?”
“Ruthless?” Old Mister Wei said faintly. “Just based on what Wei Keli said, it’s not as simple as just a finger to me. Breaking one of his fingers would be going easy on him. I wonder if Wei Keli will remember the lesson.”
Sheng Yilan took a deep breath.
He had seen people who were biased.
All the elders were biased.
There were many juniors in the family, so there were always those who the elders liked a little more than the others.
Even parents had their own child who was favored.
However, they were not as unreasonable as his two elders.
“It’s fine if Mo Mo’s usual behavior caused Wei Keli to misunderstand, but even Mo Mo is responsible. She had clearly told him what she thought of him. Wei Keli still thought that Mo Mo was being a little conservative.”
Old Mister Wei was too embarrassed to say the words that he had in his mind.
“Isn’t it enough to reject him repeatedly?” Old Mister Wei slammed the table. “Who gave him the illusion that the little girl must be in love with him? Why does he think that she’s playing hard to get? He even dared to say that she was cheating on him. Who gave him the courage? I think he’s really perverted.”
Sheng Yilan wanted to say that Tan Mo was not an elder at all.
Putting aside her age, she and Wei Zhiqian were not married yet.
Tan Mo was only Wei Zhiqian’s girlfriend now. There was no need for her to call herself Wei Zhiqian’s girlfriend so early on.
Wei Keli’s face was deathly pale.
He did not know whether it was because of the pain or because he was scolded by Old Mister Wei.. He felt that his future was really hopeless.
