Xiao Menghan raised an eyebrow and laughed angrily: "Okay, so what you said about accepting Tan Mo as your niece's daughter was all a cover. It turns out you were waiting for me here. It's just a quota, not a big deal. Do you really have to play such a trick on me?"
Her son is only 15, but when it comes to cunning, she can no longer beat Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Mingwen angrily kicked Wei Zhiqian's leg, avenging his wife: "How dare you use the same tactics on your mother that you used on others."
Wei Zhiqian was kicked but remained motionless like a mountain, looking around with an expressionless face.
Make sure no one notices him and that his image is maintained.
Then Wei Mingwen said, "This isn't something we can decide unilaterally. We have to ask the parents for their opinion. Let me take charge of this matter."
Wei Zhiqian will be the next head of the Wei family, but he is not yet.
Besides, it is not appropriate to talk to other people's parents on an equal footing when you are not even an adult yet.

Tan Mo and Qin Muye didn't know that their conversation was heard by Xiao Menghan.
Not long after Xiao Menghan left, Yuan Keqing came over.
Just now she saw Tan Mo having a very pleasant conversation with the little girl from the Qin family.
Moreover, just now, Tan Mo and Qin Muye went to play nearby hand in hand, and Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen were watching them the whole time.
It was from the conversation between Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen that she learned that Qin Muye was actually the daughter of the head of the Qin family, and her brother would be the next head of the family.
Qin Muye's identity is much more valuable than that of the Qin Murong sisters.
Moreover, the Qin Murong sisters had just lost face in front of Wei Zhiqian. Obviously, they were not important figures among the eight major families.
It’s not like what Qin Muxiao boasted.
Yuan Keqing was too lazy to waste time on such useless people.
"Cousin." Yuan Keqing came over and called out, her pitiful eyes fixed on Qin Muye, "This sister is..."
Qin Muye had been tricked by Qin Murong many times, and when he saw a familiar aura in Yuan Keqing, he immediately didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Qin Muye was very straightforward and turned his head away in front of Yuan Keqing.
Who is talking?
Didn't hear it.
Is there anyone standing in front?
No!
Yuan Keqing felt wronged as soon as she saw it: "Cousin..."
"Keqing, are you here to apologize to me?" Tan Mo interrupted her.
"Apologize? Why should I..." Should I apologize to you?
Is Tan Mo stupid?
"Just now, when the Qin Murong sisters were forcing me to give up the doll, weren't you there to help them and force me to give it away?" Tan Mo tilted his head. "They were not in the right, and yet you helped them bully your relatives, your cousin, me. This is what you did wrong."
Seeing that Yuan Ke was too angry to even pretend to be pitiful, Tan Mo opened his mouth in surprise: "Aren't you here to apologize to me? Do you think you did nothing wrong?"
"Bah! You are so shameless!" Qin Muye immediately thought of his own daily experiences when he heard this, and rebuked him with empathy, "You actually helped the bad guys to bully your own relatives, and you still have the nerve to cry!"
"I didn't..." Yuan Keqing couldn't help shaking her head. "I just think it's just a small matter. Cousin, there's no need to take it so seriously. If you were more generous, it wouldn't have become so ugly. Besides, making friends is always better than becoming enemies. Even if it doesn't bring any benefits to the Tan family, at least it won't offend anyone in the Tan family."
"Cousin, although we are only cousins, I am telling you this because I treat you as my own sister." Yuan Ke said sincerely, "You must not be so stingy in the future. You must be more generous."
Tan Mo smiled sweetly, seemingly harmless, with an especially kind expression: "Keqing, have you ever heard of this saying?"
"What?" Yuan Keqing asked in confusion.
Tan Mo said with a smile: "If you advise others to be magnanimous, God will strike you with lightning!"
She heard this from an interview with a famous crosstalk artist and thought it was absolutely right.
"Cousin...you...how could you say that to me?" Yuan Keqing's lips trembled, tears streaming down her face again. "Are you cursing me, saying I'll be struck by lightning? You...why are you so cruel? Do you hate me that much?"
What happened to Tan Mo today?
Every word he said was so unexpected that it caught her off guard.
"Please stop crying." Qin Muye was fed up. "You keep crying every day. It's so depressing!"
Originally, Tan Mo sympathized with Qin Muye.
But now it was Qin Muye's turn to sympathize with Tan Mo.
How depressed would it be to have a green tea cousin who cries in front of her every day?
And when people saw it, they all thought that Tan Mo bullied her.
It's so disgusting!
"Yes." Tan Mo shook his head in disapproval. "Keqing, you can't cry like this regardless of the occasion. Today is the old lady of the Wei family's birthday. It's so inappropriate and outrageous for you to cry at someone's birthday party."
"Bad luck!" Qin Muye said more bluntly, "I heard that you came here uninvited, without an invitation at all. It's fine for you to come in with such a thick face, the Wei family doesn't need you to eat anyway. But the Wei family is kind enough not to make a fuss about you, but you are crying here and bringing bad luck to the old lady. How can you be so mean!"
"I didn't!" Yuan Keqing, who was used to using tears to gain sympathy, was now in a dilemma, not knowing whether to cry or not.
"Mo Mo." Wei Keli walked over hesitantly to apologize to Tan Mo.
When he walked over, Yuan Keqing had her back to him, and he hadn't noticed that Yuan Keqing was crying.
When Yuan Keqing heard his voice, she immediately hugged Wei Keli's arm as if grabbing the only lifeline: "Brother Keli."
"Keqing?" Wei Keli was surprised. There were obvious traces of tears on Yuan Keqing's face and her eyes were wet.
Wei Keli realized belatedly that the atmosphere here was very stiff and tense.
"What's wrong with you..." Wei Keli subconsciously looked at Tan Mo and Qin Muye.
Seeing Qin Muye's face full of annoyance, he thought that Tan Mo and Qin Muye must have bullied Yuan Keqing.
Tan Mo and Yuan Keqing are sisters. Even if they make new friends, they cannot bully their own sister together with the new friends.
Could it be that Tan Mo, at such a young age, already knows how to curry favor with the daughter of the Qin family's patriarch?
Tan Mo is so young that he joins others in bullying his cousin just to curry favor with others. It's too much.
"My cousin started crying so suddenly that I was shocked." Tan Mo patted his chest, his face still a little pale. "My cousin just came to see me, and I thought she wanted to apologize to me. Just now, she helped the Qin Murong sisters snatch my doll."
Speaking of this, Wei Keli felt a burning pain on his face and felt uncomfortable all over.
He was also among the people who helped the Qin Murong sisters just now.
