"He can't even consider this most basic etiquette. If he commits such a mistake and can't return in time, it will be considered as his punishment." The old man said with a cold face, "Miss Yuan is an outsider. Even if she did something wrong, it is not our place to criticize her."

The two elders would never take the initiative to suggest that Yuan Keqing come again on the first day of the new year.

Even if they didn't mention it, Yuan Keqing would come.

But asking them to invite us on their own initiative is absolutely impossible.

"But now, Miss Yuan hasn't married into the Wei family yet, and you won't let her go to accompany her parents and fulfill her filial duties, but instead come to our house to celebrate the festival so early." The old man said, "If this gets out and outsiders find out, they'll think our family is overbearing, not allowing a girl to celebrate the New Year at our house before she even gets married. We're clearly a well-behaved family, but you've labeled us unreasonable. It's such a big scapegoat for you, isn't it unfair?"

"Not only that, but people might also think that Miss Yuan is too eager to curry favor with the Wei family. She hasn't even taken care of her own parents before she even married." The old lady interjected, "No matter which point you make, it won't sound good when others say that."

The old lady said with a stern face, "Keli, you're not a kid anymore. Just now, when you weren't here, I heard your mother and grandmother talking about your work. They said your business is doing well now. I thought you were making progress. But even if you do well at work, you still have to pay attention to these common sense of etiquette in private."

Wei Keli came today in high spirits, but he didn't expect that because Yuan Keqing came with him, the two elders would be unhappy again.

Originally, Wei Keli thought that the two elders were prejudiced against him.

No matter how well he does, the two elders will not recognize him.

But just now, the old lady said that she knew he was doing well at work.

Although no words of praise were said, these words were undoubtedly an affirmation of him.

This made Wei Keli so excited that he couldn't help shaking.

He clenched his fists and restrained himself.

Therefore, Wei Keli thought that the two elders were actually satisfied with his work ability.

The two elders' dissatisfaction was directed only at Yuan Keqing.

Perhaps, he really shouldn't have brought Yuan Keqing here today.

He didn't think much about it at first.

It was Yuan Keqing who kept telling him that he had made great achievements in business now and could return to his old house in high spirits.

Let those who look down on them know that they are wrong.

Let those people know that no matter which aspect, Wei Keli’s choice will not be wrong.

At that time, he saw Yuan Keqing so happy for him, and thought that Yuan Keqing had also suffered grievances in the Wei family.

Seeing Yuan Keqing say so naturally that they came back together, it was as if they were returning home in glory.

Wei Keli agreed without much thought.

I also think it is natural for the two of them to come back together.

Moreover, even though Yuan Keqing suffered injustice in the Wei family, she still did not go home to complain.

Otherwise, even with the exchange conditions that Wei Zhijian had mentioned before, it would still be a bit difficult for the Yuan family to invest in him.

But he forgot that although Yuan Keqing is his fiancée now, they are not yet husband and wife.

It doesn't make sense to abandon your parents and come to Wei's house for the so-called reunion dinner on New Year's Eve.

Yuan Keqing has no relatives with the Wei family, so where did the members of the group come from?

Wei Keli couldn't help but wonder, if Yuan Keqing hadn't come, would he have been blamed by the two elders?

The two elders only praise him for his good business?

Praise him for his ability?

Just because Yuan Keqing was there, and because this matter was not handled well, his success in business was wiped out because of Yuan Keqing.

Wei Keli had no other thoughts now, he was just angry with Yuan Keqing.

If Yuan Keqing hadn't offered to come along, such an unpleasant thing wouldn't have happened today.

Could it be that Yuan Keqing couldn't even think of such a simple thing?

No, Yuan Keqing must have thought of it.

But she put herself before him.

In Yuan Keqing's heart, she always comes first.

That's why Yuan Keqing disregarded his interests at all. Even though she knew that the two elders would dislike her, she still followed Wei Keli.

Wei Keli felt depressed and thought that Yuan Keqing had always been gentle and considerate, always putting him first in everything.

Always think about him.

How did it become like this now?

Not daring to make the two elders angry again, Wei Keli also wanted to regain some support from the Wei family through his outstanding performance in business.

"Keqing, I'll take you back first." Wei Keli said.

Yuan Keqing was of course unwilling to do so. "But my parents must have already started eating. They all know I'm here, and if I just go back like this..."

How embarrassing.

Yuan Keqing definitely couldn't say this.

"They had no idea I would be back, so they wouldn't wait for me. By the time I got back, they might have finished their meal."

But this time, Wei Keli would not let Yuan Keqing do what she said. "How can the New Year's Eve dinner be finished so quickly? I'll take you home first and bring you here tomorrow."

Yuan Keqing was not very willing.

Wei Keli's face darkened, and he whispered, "I remember you used to be very sensible and always thinking about me. Why have you changed now?"

"Okay, I'm leaving." Yuan Keqing said goodbye to the two elders with tears in her eyes, and left the house with Wei Keli.

On the way from the main hall to the door, Yuan Keqing thought about it.

She can give in on this matter temporarily.

It’s not because of Wei Keli.

But the two elders were determined, and she knew it was impossible for her to stay.

That's why I gave in.

But she certainly couldn't say that to Wei Keli.

Out of the old house.

After getting in the car, Yuan Keqing said, "Brother Keli, I endured the grievances today for you. You just said that I always think about you, and it turns out you know it too."

Wei Keli turned to look at Yuan Keqing, not quite understanding what Yuan Keqing meant.

Yuan Keqing said with moist eyes: "But, Brother Keli, I am tired of thinking about you all the time. I also hope that you can think about me for once."

"I've always been the one thinking about you, considering your gains and losses, successes and failures, and worrying about your feelings. To the point where I completely ignored my own pain and suffering, and endured my own grievances, completely losing myself." Yuan Keqing looked at Wei Keli eagerly, "Brother Keli, can you please think about me for once?"

Wei Keli's heart softened when she said that, and he thought of Yuan Keqing's kindness again.

Thinking that Yuan Keqing had suffered too much injustice, she was eager to get recognition from her elders.

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any injustice." Wei Keli said it nicely. After all, there was no need to take responsibility for nice words.

"I'll take you home today. Tomorrow, early in the morning on the first day of the new year, I'll pick you up to pay New Year's greetings," Wei Keli said. "The elders also said that Tan Mo isn't here today, so she can come tomorrow. She can, and you can too. If you come tomorrow, no one will say anything, not even the elders."

This is exactly what Yuan Keqing wanted him to say.

She was worried before because of the attitude of the two elders, Wei Keli didn't plan to let her come even tomorrow.
