"The elders are all here, only you are missing." Sheng Yilan seemed displeased, "It's inappropriate for you youngsters to arrive so late."
Tan Mo raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Wei Zhiqian.
Why did it sound to her like Sheng Yilan was making a veiled criticism?
Although he was blaming Wei Zhijian and his family for coming late.
But Wei Zhiqian and she are also juniors.
Wasn't she also the one scolding me among the younger generation?
Although Tan Mo often came to the old house, he did not know the two families of Wei Mingzhong and Wei Mingxiao.
Tan Mo had never met them in the old house.
It’s also because she doesn’t want to meet him.
Every time she went to the old house, it was either when Wei Zhiqian was there, or she would ask Wei Zhiqian and only go if no one from the other two families went to the old house.
She went to the old house because she missed her parents and wanted to see them.
But it’s not about socializing with the other two families.
What's more, the other two families might not be willing to see her, an outsider, thrive here with the two elders and be treated better than the people in the Wei family.
Anyway, she had no friendship with the other two families, and she didn't want to please them.
Talking about ink can help you have one less thing to worry about.
So, many people may not believe it, but in twelve years, Tan Mo really hasn't seen them.
However, although they had never met each other, they both knew that there was such a person.
When they saw Tan Mo coming in with Wei Zhiqian, everyone started to make some guesses.
However, Tan Mo had never come when the entire Wei family was present.
Why did you follow Wei Zhiqian here this year?
"We arrived early, and Keli called us from behind and asked us to chat outside for a while." Wei Zhiqian was not used to Sheng Yilan's bad habits. "If I hadn't reminded him, Keli would have continued chatting outside."
Sheng Yilan paused for a moment before saying, "Keli hasn't been back for a long time. I'm quite excited to see your uncle."
Wei Zhiqian smiled and said nothing, but the sarcasm between his brows was not concealed at all.
Wei Mingzhong's wife, Wei Zhigong's mother, Wu Qinxia, asked, "Who is this beautiful girl..."
Tan Mo's gaze therefore fell on Wu Qinxia's face.
If Sheng Yilan's facial features were all marked with an obvious harshness, then Wu Qinxia's face was so kind that she felt it was a bit too much.
Tan Mo had never seen them before.
Looking at Sheng Yilan's face, I don't know if it's because he has been so mean all year round, but even if he has no expression on his face, people still feel that he is mean, and it can't be erased.
As for Wu Qinxia, although she looked kind, Tan Mo always felt that her kindness was too superficial.
It's like a thick layer of compassion makeup.
No matter how you look at it, she's not as natural as Xiao Menghan.
Xiao Menghan's facial features exude a relaxed and open nature that comes from within.
She is not soft-hearted, but she is not hypocritical either.
Whatever it is, it's just right.
The sense of proportion is natural and appropriate.
Before Wei Zhiqian could open his mouth to answer Wu Qinxia's question, the old lady spoke first, "It's someone you always hear about, Tan Mo."
Even when Tan Mo usually came to the old house, he avoided Wei Mingzhong and Wei Mingxiao's families and never met them.
But the old lady still mentioned Mo in front of them frequently.
Therefore, although they had never met her, they did not feel unfamiliar when they heard the old lady mention Tan Mo.
There is even a feeling of long absence.
"So it's Tan Mo." Wu Qinxia said with a smile, "I always hear mom mention you, but I never have the chance to meet you. I was wondering when I could finally see you."
"Yeah, I finally saw her today." Sheng Yilan said with a half-smile, "I didn't expect it either. After all these years, I finally got to see her. I was wondering why this little girl is so hard to come by."
Xiao Menghan raised an eyebrow and said with a half-smile, "Then we'll meet today. Besides, there's no need to worry about not seeing each other in the future. Momo will be family from now on. Even if we miss each other on weekdays because our schedules don't always match, but from now on, Momo will be present at every festival as a family member, so there will be many opportunities to see each other."
Listening to what Sheng Yilan and Wu Qinxia said, it seems that Tan Mo is a big shot and you can't even meet him if you want to.
Xiao Menghan explained in one sentence that they couldn't meet each other often, saying that everyone's schedules couldn't coordinate, but it wasn't because Tan Mo was arrogant.
After being directly retorted by Xiao Menghan, Wu Qinxia's smile only paused, but the kindness on her face was still maintained.
Sheng Yilan's expression froze for a moment before he asked, "Family? Does this mean... you've adopted this child as your goddaughter?"
She had also heard about Tan Moguan and Wei Zhiqian calling him "uncle".
After all, a girl who had nothing to do with the Wei family was using Wei Zhiqian's name to receive all kinds of preferential treatment.
When I go out for social events, I often hear from others how Tan Mo is valued by Wei Zhiqian.
As a result, she didn't have a good impression of Tan Mo.
I think this little girl is shameless. She has nothing to do with the Wei family, but she is still using Wei Zhiqian's banner outside. She really thinks she is a big shot.
He also wondered why Wei Zhiqian was so tactless as to let Tan Mo act so recklessly.
Is it so easy to wave the flag of the Wei family?
She had mentioned it a few times in front of the two elders and Xiao Menghan, intentionally or unintentionally.
It turned out that the old lady and Xiao Menghan also knew about this, and they seemed very fond of Tan Mo.
This left Sheng Yilan speechless.
Sheng Yilan was thinking, seeing how much Xiao Menghan liked Tan Mo, she had just said something and Xiao Menghan was speaking up for Tan Mo and even confronting her.
I guess she wants to adopt Tan Mo as her goddaughter.
As for Tan Moguan and Wei Zhiqian calling him "uncle", she is not his biological niece, nor is she of established generational order.
It's just a matter of changing it, it's not a big deal.
Wei Keli looked at Tan Mo in surprise, then at Xiao Menghan.
If Xiao Menghan really adopted Tan Mo as her goddaughter.
Doesn't that mean Tan Mo is older than him?
Does he still have to call Tan Mo "aunt"?
If that's the case, how can he be with Tan Mo?
Wei Keli couldn't help but speak, "Third Grandma, you want to adopt Momo as your goddaughter? This... doesn't this make her different from me in generation?"
"Momo and I grew up together, childhood sweethearts. Momo even calls me brother." Wei Keli said with a smile, "Please don't let me call Momo aunt."
The old lady smiled and said, "I won't let you call me little aunt, but you have to call me little aunt."
Wei Keli was stunned for a moment, feeling that he didn't seem to understand what the old lady said.
Why do you call me little aunt?
Who should I call auntie?
The old man finally couldn't help himself and joined in, his beard twitching with joy. "Didn't Menghan just say that? Momo will be able to see you guys often in the future."
"That's because Zhiqian finally accomplished something great!" The old man smiled so hard that his teeth were visible.
