It wasn't until the year before last that the account was finally settled.

Last year it was the Tan family who paid, and this year it is the Yuan family's turn.

In any case, Xu Mingzhen was determined not to give in. Unless it came to the negotiation, he really refused to pay a penny.

When Xu Mingjing was asked to be raised by the Yuan family for seven years, she came to cry again, but it was no use.

Old Mrs. Xu loves Xu Mingjing so much, Xu Mingjing can't really just watch Old Mrs. Xu being left alone, right?

So they could only follow what Xu Mingzhen said and the two families would take turns paying for their retirement.

Unexpectedly, before Xu Mingzhen went to find Xu Mingjing today, Xu Mingjing came with Yuan Keqing first.

What was unexpected was that Li Xiangrong also came with Wei Keli.

I really don’t know if it was a coincidence or if both families had agreed on it.

But Xu Mingzhen still believed Li Xiangrong more and would not make an appointment with Xu Mingjing to disgust him.

It's probably just a coincidence.

Because Li Xiangrong and Wei Keli were there, Xu Mingzhen couldn't get angry with Xu Mingjing directly.

After all, if we were to settle the score, we would have to mention Wei Zhiqian’s injury.

She didn't care whether Li Xiangrong knew it or not, but she couldn't tell Li Xiangrong about it.

As for Xu Mingjing, she could say that Yuan Keqing had deliberately said that to deceive Tan Mo.

Xu Mingzhen was determined to settle accounts with Yuan Keqing, so he naturally took all these into consideration.

He could only wait for Li Xiangrong to take Wei Keli away before Xu Mingzhen had a good talk with Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing.

Unexpectedly, not long after the four of them sat down, Tan Mo came back.

Hearing that Tan Mo was still so well-behaved and even smiled at Yuan Keqing, Xu Mingzhen's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

"Hasn't the exam finished yet? So Keli and I came to take a look." Li Xiangrong obviously didn't know what Yuan Keqing had done. "Who knew we'd run into Madam Yuan right at the door?"

"After the last exam, I didn't see you at the door, so I had to leave first." Wei Keli said, "I didn't have time to ask you, how did you do on the exam?"

"By the way, sister, what is Momo's first choice?" Xu Mingjing tilted her head and asked Xu Mingzhen.

Looking at her reaction, Xu Mingzhen seemed to be unaware of what Yuan Keqing had done.

Xu Mingzhen was also a little unsure.

Under the gaze of everyone, Tan Mo kept his head down.

Xu Mingjing was wondering why Tan Mo didn't even look up at anyone?

But Tan Mo's shoulders suddenly shrugged.

Then, I heard her soft but clear sobs.

When I looked again, I saw tears as big as beans falling.

"Momo, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiangrong asked anxiously.

Li Xiangrong had some calculations in mind regarding the matter between Tan Mo and Wei Keli.

But her friendship with Xu Mingzhen is real, and her feelings for Tan Mo are also real.

Putting aside these calculations, Tan Mo is also her beloved junior.

After all, this is the child she has watched grow up.

The anxiety and concern at this moment are real.

"I..." Tan Mo sobbed, "I didn't do well in the exam."

"How could that be?" Xu Mingjing was also surprised.

Although her relationship with Xu Mingzhen has faded over the years, it is not to the point where she cannot stand Tan Mo's good fortune.

She also envied Xu Mingzhen for being so lucky.

She married well, her children are outstanding, and Tan Mo can even skip a grade.

She never thought that Tan Mo would not do well in the exam and would fail in the college entrance examination.

"I failed my last exam." Tan Mo looked increasingly sad as he thought about it. He stopped sobbing and burst into tears. "I couldn't concentrate on answering the questions. I was so confused that I handed in the paper early without finishing any of the questions."

"Why is this?" Li Xiangrong looked anxiously at Tan Mo, then at Xu Mingzhen. "Momo has always had good grades and always ranked first in Jixia Academy. I've never worried about anyone else, but I've never worried about Momo's college entrance exam. Why is he suddenly unable to concentrate during the exam?"

"Because of Keqing..." Tan Mo said crying.

Yuan Keqing's expression changed. Is Tan Mo going to tell it out?

Butler Zhou had clearly sent someone to warn her not to tell anyone about Wei Zhiqian's injury.

Her purpose was only to disrupt Tan Mo's exam, and she didn't dare to do anything else.

Therefore, when Butler Zhou gave her a warning, she immediately agreed, kept her mouth shut, and really didn't tell anyone else.

But now, Tan Mo actually wants to say it out loud?

How dare she!

The Wei family attaches so much importance to this matter this time. Even if they like Tan Mo very much, they cannot allow Tan Mo to ruin their plans!

Moreover, if Tan Mo does something stupid like this, will the Wei family still like Tan Mo in the future?

She knew that Xu Mingzhen must know what she had done.

But she didn't care, she just wanted to see Tan Mo make a fool of himself.

Over the years, their relationship with Xu Mingzhen has long been not as good as it used to be.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Tan Mo say, "Because Keqing called me before the exam, I was worried that something might have happened, so I answered the phone. She told me that my uncle was injured, very seriously, and almost died."

"My uncle has loved me so much since I was a child. How can I concentrate on the exam after hearing this news? While answering the questions, I kept thinking about my uncle being seriously injured. What if... what if he doesn't make it, and I don't even get to see my uncle for the last time..."

In the car, Wei Zhiqian's eye twitched.

This girl really dares to say anything!

However, Tan Mo might have really thought so at the time.

That's why she handed in the paper in a hurry and ran out, just to see him as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhiqian felt both warm and sad.

This silly girl.

Even though she knew that Yuan Keqing was exaggerating and lying to her, she still handed in the paper early.

This heart is so sincere.

As for Tan Mo telling others about his injury, it didn't matter.

Anyway, the Wei family has already stopped hiding it.

Moreover, Wei Zhiqian always felt that Tan Mo had a backup plan and would not simply reveal the fact that he was injured.

"I was so worried that I had no time to concentrate on answering the questions," Tan Mo cried. "Even if I made it to the end of the exam, I wouldn't be able to answer many questions. So I just gave up and handed in the paper early."

Tan Mo cried so sincerely.

Even Xu Mingzhen and the three Tan brothers couldn't help but worry.

Could it be that Tan Mo's statement that she had finished writing and checked the papers that were handed in early was meant to comfort them?

The four people's expressions became anxious and sad.

Yuan Keqing saw this and was secretly delighted.

Tan Mo is good at acting, but Xu Mingzhen and the three Tan brothers can’t fake their expressions.

They have always loved Tan Mo the most.

Now, Yuan Keqing felt relieved.

Tan Mo either has to repeat the year or go to another school.

Anyway, I definitely can’t get into Peking University!

"I failed my last exam, so my grade will definitely be very bad," Tan Mo cried. "Originally, I wanted to apply to Peking University, but now I don't know what to do. Maybe I need to repeat the year."
