Chapter 301: Retreat



"There are only so many places for Peking University every year. If she gets in, she'll take up someone else's spot. Students who have truly studied hard and have passed the exam will lose the chance to go to Peking University because of her. This is unfair to those who abide by the rules and study hard." Xu Mingzhen looked down at his nails. "I don't mind sacrificing relatives for the sake of justice."

"Tell Mingjing exactly what I said." Xu Mingzhen's voice was icy. "You too, remember this. If anyone from you or the Yuan family comes to harass us again and wants Momo to ask Principal Mu to help Yuan Keqing get in through the back door, then you'd better hope that Yuan Keqing doesn't get into Peking University. If she does, I'll report her."

"You! You!" Old Mrs. Xu was so angry that she seemed to be unable to breathe.

Even though he couldn't see her face through the phone, Xu Mingzhen could still picture Mrs. Xu's furious expression in his mind.

She was so familiar.

"You are threatening us!" Old Mrs. Xu was angry.

"Could it be that you're the only ones allowed to threaten me and order me around, but I'm not allowed to threaten you?" Xu Mingzhen glanced at the time and said, "Mom, I have something else to do. I'm hanging up now."

After Xu Mingzhen hung up the phone, he met Tan Mo's admiring gaze.

"Mom, you are so awesome!" This was the first time that Xu Mingzhen managed to get rid of Old Madam Xu with just a few words.

Xu Mingzhen couldn't help but feel proud when Tan Mo looked at her.

"After so many years, I've learned something." Actually, this trick was inspired by Wei Zhiqian.

Wei Zhiqian used the things that the Yuan family cared about to restrain them.

So now, Xu Mingzhen is still using Yuan Keqing to restrain Old Lady Xu and the Yuan family.

They wanted Yuan Keqing to be admitted to Peking University, so they harassed them repeatedly.

On the other hand, if they come to harass her again, she will make Yuan Keqing finished!

"Where are you going?" Xu Mingzhen saw that Tan Mo was wearing clothes for going out.

"Go find Mu Ye." Tan Mo said as he walked towards the door.

"Isn't the result released today? Mu Ye is also taking the college entrance examination this year. A Qing and I have made an appointment to go to Mu Ye's house to see the results together." Tan Mo said while sitting in the entrance hall putting on his shoes.

"Will you come back for lunch?" Xu Mingzhen looked at the time and estimated that she would have lunch soon after arriving at Qin's house.

"We won't come back to eat. Let's go to Mu Ye's house. Will she not care about our meals?" Tan Mo said with a smile.

"Okay." Xu Mingzhen smiled, called the driver, and took Tan Mo to Qin's house.

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Xu called Xu Mingjing again and relayed Xu Mingzhen's words to her.

"She...how could she do this!" Xu Mingjing burst into tears. "Keqing is her own niece! Even if she didn't help, she can't turn around and report Keqing! She...she just can't stand Keqing, okay? She...doesn't even care about sisterhood? Keqing is her niece after all!"

Old Mrs. Xu thought the same thing. She was also angry, but what else could she do?

"Your sister is now completely ignoring her family because of her Tan family." Old Mrs. Xu said angrily, "I don't dare to say anything to her anymore. If she really pushes her to the limit, what will happen if she really reports Ke Qing?"

Xu Mingzhen saw that they were afraid to act rashly.

"I...I'll go talk to her!" Xu Mingjing said, "Even if she doesn't want to help, she can't hurt Keqing like this! What good will it do to her? Keqing's admission to Peking University won't hinder her in any way, so why is she doing such a thing? I want to ask her, does she...does she no longer want me as her sister?"

"Aren't you afraid that if you ask her, she'll turn around and report Keqing?" Old Lady Xu reminded him, "She said that if anyone comes to her again, she'll definitely report Keqing unless she can't get into Peking University."

Mrs. Xu took a deep breath and exhaled, "Do you really want to bet?"

"I think your sister has really turned her back on her family now," Old Lady Xu warned. "Aren't you afraid that if you go to her again, she'll actually report you?"

"But she means that even if we don't go find her, she will report it." Xu Mingjing said anxiously.

"That wastrel!" Old Madam Xu was furious and slammed her hands on the sofa. "Other people's daughters think about their parents' families after they get married and try their best to help them. But she's the opposite. She's afraid that she's not being cruel enough to her parents' families! Why doesn't she think about the fact that even after her daughter gets married, she still needs the support of her parents' family!"

"If she quarrels with Tan Wenci and gets bullied, won't she have to rely on her parents' family to help her? If she breaks off relations with her parents' family like this, she will regret it in the future!" Old Mrs. Xu is now determined not to let Xu Mingzhen suffer a great loss.

Only in this way can Xu Mingzhen understand the importance of her mother's home.

Don't try to distance yourself from your parents' family whenever something happens, as if they are a burden to her.

"I advise you not to look for her. She is really crazy now." Old Mrs. Xu advised again.

Xu Mingjing hung up the phone, so angry that she couldn't organize her words.

"What did she say? My aunt said she wanted to report me?" Yuan Keqing just heard what Xu Mingjing said when she was talking to Old Lady Xu on the phone.

I only understood half of what I heard.

But when Yuan Keqing heard that she was going to be reported, her heart skipped a beat.

Xu Mingjing took deep breaths continuously and finally calmed down a little. Then she told Yuan Keqing what Old Lady Xu had conveyed to her.

"Aunt has completely cut off my path." Yuan Keqing stood up and paced back and forth in front of Xu Mingjing. "How could she be so cruel?"

"Yeah." Xu Mingjing sighed and said worriedly, "Keqing, what are you going to do next? Are you still going to insist on going to Peking University? If you insist, your father and I will try to find a way, but... I'm afraid your aunt will really report it."

"She's different now," Xu Mingjing sighed. "She no longer thinks about us or does anything good for us. I think her heart is cold now. If she says she'll report it, I'm afraid she'll really do it."

"You...why don't you just give up on Peking University?" Xu Mingjing advised.

Yuan Kexing thought about it and was afraid that Xu Mingzhen would really report it.

She didn't dare to gamble on such things.

When the truth comes out, she will be embarrassed.

"Then we can only change schools." Yuan Keqing no longer insisted.

"Which one do you want to change to? Just tell me. Your academic performance might not allow you to get into Kyoto University, but if you work hard you can still get into other universities. We can even let you study abroad."

"I won't go abroad!" Wei Keli is still in the country, how can she go abroad?

Once you get out, it's really out of reach.

She couldn't know what happened in time.

What if Wei Keli is snatched away by Tan Mo again while she is away from home?
