Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 373: Burned the Bridge

Yuan Keqing lowered her head in a panic.

However, the attention of Wei Keli and his family were temporarily not on her.

“You had warned Keli before to not pursue Tan Mo?” Wei Zhijian took the initiative to clarify what Wei Zhiqian had said.

“Zhiqian, why do you have to interfere with the children’s matters?” Li Xiangrong frowned unhappily.

“Is Wei Keli good enough to even think about wanting Mo Mo?” Wei Zhiqian’s tone implied that even if Wei Keli was dirt on the sole of a shoe, he was not good enough to be on Tan Mo’s shoe.

“Zhiqian, your words are going extremely overboard.” Wei Zhijian had put on a stern expression and was not able to accept that Wei Zhiqian had put Wei Keli down to this extent. “No matter how Keli is, he is also an exceptional member of our Wei family. Which outsider would not praise him and say that he is an outstanding figure of this generation of our Wei family?

“We did not look down on the Tan family. Keli is more than qualified to make a match with Tan Mo. Why is it that you, on the contrary, say he is not good enough for Tan Mo?”

“Outsiders do not know what Wei Keli is made of, but does our own family not know? They praise him because he is in the Wei family. He pretends when he is outside. Outsiders who do not understand what is going on inside naturally are not clear about his true colors.

“Do you really think he is an exceptional and outstanding figure?” Wei Zhiqian glanced at Wei Keli coldly. “Then you must spend a lot of energy on maintaining this image and protecting it well, to at least make him appear good on the outside.”

“Wei Zhiqian!” Wei Zhijian was livid. “How could you look down on Keli to this extent in front of me?”

Wei Zhiqian was not yet the head of the family and was already looking down on Wei Keli to this extent.

He was worried that when Wei Zhiqian became the head of the family, Wei Keli wouldn’t have a place in the Wei family.

At that time, it was not even about if Wei Keli would be highly valued in the Wei family.

He was afraid that at that time, other than the Wei surname, he would not be able to get anything.

“Second brother, why don’t you ask what he did to Mo Mo?” Wei Zhiqian sneered coldly at his brother.

Wei Keli’s heart instantly rose into his throat.

“On the day that Mo Mo came of age, he blocked Mo Mo’s way at school and asked Tan Mo to be his girlfriend. Mo Mo told him clearly that she only saw him as an older brother. Do you know what he did after that? He tried to use force to make Mo Mo agree.” Wei Zhiqian was still angry when he mentioned this.

Li Xiangrong’s expression changed.

“Do you still think that you can use force to make a girl agree in this era? She could turn around and sue you,” Wei Zhiqian said loudly.

Yuan Keqing did not know that this had happened.

She could not delay anymore.

“If I had not been able to be there on time, the Tan family would not have this attitude toward Wei Keli currently. You know how much the Tan family dotes on Mo Mo. Didn’t you think of this too and felt that the Tan family would certainly provide a lot of dowry and even shares of Tanyue if Mo Mo married into your family?”

Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong were not na?ve sweethearts. It was not as if they truly loved Tan Mo.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Li Xiangrong was embarrassed.

Yuan Keqing was still here.

What nonsense was Wei Zhiqian saying in front of Yuan Keqing?

“He was not able to succeed because I arrived on time and Mo Mo did not tell her family about this when she returned home. Otherwise, do you think that with Wei Keli’s actions, the Tan family would have a good attitude toward him?” Wei Zhiqian asked coldly. “See clearly who is Wei Keli. He is trash who only knows how to bully girls and does not have any capabilities himself.

“He was unable to succeed previously, so this time Wei Keli listened to the words of Qin Murong and her sister and decided to scheme against Mo Mo again. If I hadn’t found this out early, the person in the hot springs would have been Mo Mo.” Wei Zhiqian lifted his brows and said to Wei Zhijian, “Second brother, this is who you say is an exceptional member of the Wei family and an outstanding figure of this generation of the Wei family?

“If someone like him can be a representative of this generation of the Wei family, the Wei family will fall soon!”

Wei Zhijian’s face was frozen with shock.

He looked at Li Xiangrong, who also had the same shocked expression.

Moreover, she was even more afraid than Wei Zhijian.

Luckily, Tan Mo had not mentioned this to her family. Otherwise, her friendship with Xu Mingzhen would probably have been at its end.

“Mo Mo has already expressed that she does not like Wei Keli. Moreover, after today, she probably will not be willing to even treat him as an older brother,” Wei Zhiqian sneered coldly. “I will not talk about this matter anymore, and instead talk about how Wei Keli could even believe Qin Murong and her sister’s words and scheme with them.

“Second brother, don’t you know the situation of Qin Murong and her sister in the Qin family? Could it be that Wei Keli still wanted to rely on Qin Murong to build a good relationship with the Qin family? Do you see Qin Mufeng valuing either of them? They have bullied Qin Muye since they were young. Will the current head of the family, Qin Muye’s father, Qin Zhenglu like them, or will the future head of the family, Qin Muye’s biological brother, Qin Mufeng, like them?

“Just based on this alone, why did Wei Keli still think that he was intelligent being friendly with Qin Murong?” Wei Zhiqian truly never had seen such a stupid and unaware person.

Wei Zhijian was an intelligent person, and Li Xiangrong also was someone who recognized current trends.

How could they had given birth to an idiot like Wei Keli?

“If Qin Murong and her sister were valued in the Qin family, would they be in their current state?” Wei Zhiqian said with ridicule. “Second brother, you and second sister-in-law are not too old. Science is advanced now, and you could find ways to quickly have another son. I heard that children born to older parents usually have a higher IQ.”

Wasn’t his father, Wei Mingwen, a living example?

“Otherwise, with this one who only has a good name, I am afraid that you will not have an easy time in your silver years,” Wei Zhiqian jibed at them and then turned to leave.

He did not say anymore to them.

He had already done his duty as a brother when he told them about the matters regarding Qin Murong.

As part of the Wei family, he naturally still hoped that everyone in the family was doing well, for the whole clan to prosper.

He naturally would be happy if Wei Keli could change for the better.

However, Wei Zhiqian had also only reminded them that it didn’t seem possible for Wei Keli to change.

Wei Zhijian’s reaction was faster than the others. “You already knew about the scheme between Keli and Qin Murong and her sister?”

“Of course.” Wei Zhiqian did not hide it at all and admitted it. “Since Mo Mo calls me uncle, I certainly will protect her. If she had been schemed against by anyone, furthermore by a Wei family member, how could I face her?”

“So, Yuan Keqing, she…” Wei Zhijian began…

Li Xiangrong and Wei Keli both looked toward Yuan Keqing.

A shameful rage burned in Wei Keli’s heart.

Had Yuan Keqing also been arranged by Wei Zhiqian to frame him?

Yuan Keqing panicked and shook her head, “I came with my aunt! Your…your matter, I did not know about it at all.”

Yuan Keqing scolded Wei Zhiqian to herself.

He was too unreliable!

He had made use of her and then burned the bridge after he crossed it.
