Chapter 124: With His Brains, How Did He Ever Get Admitted to Beijing University?
He knew that Wei Zhiqian was displeased with him.
But it was too embarra.s.sing to let his cla.s.smates see that he, as Wei Zhiqian’s nephew, could not even drink a single bottle of the cold drinks he had sent.
“No.” Butler Zhou smiled and shook his head. “This is what the Young Master ordered. It’s only for Miss Mo Mo and her cla.s.smates.”
Wei Keli: “…”
He knew that this was Wei Zhiqian deliberately giving him a slap in the face.
It seemed that he had to apologize to Tan Mo.
The arrival of Butler Zhou made everyone realize how good Tan Mo’s relations.h.i.+p with Wei Zhiqian was.
Just by looking at how respectful Wei Keli is toward Butler Zhou, they knew that Butler Zhou is certainly important in the Wei family.
But such an important person was also closer to Tan Mo.
In fact, he treated Wei Keli very indifferently.
Watching Finance Cla.s.s 1 drinking cold drinks from Wei Zhiqian and eating ice cream from Wei Zhiqian, Wei Keli felt ambivalent.
Just like that, he ended the afternoon training with a heavy heart.
“Mo Mo!” Wei Keli couldn’t bother to pay attention to He Weicheng and the others. He hurried to catch up with Tan Mo.
He looked at Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi, who were walking beside Tan Mo, and said to Tan Mo, “Mo Mo, may I talk to you alone?”
With Tan Mo’s young age, even if she talked to Wei Keli alone, there would be no rumors.
If someone dared to spread such a rumor, that would be exceptionally nasty.
They would be crushed by keyboard warriors and publicly condemned.
Tan Mo didn’t want to talk to Wei Keli alone, but she had to maintain her image.
“What’s the matter?”
“Mo Mo.” Wei Keli glanced at Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi again.
Jin Yuelin asked hesitantly, “Mo Mo, should we go on first?”
“Okay.” Tan Mo had to agree.
After Jin Yuelin and Meng Yuxi left, Wei Keli took Tan Mo and started walking. “Mo Mo, do you want to eat with me tonight?”
“Brother Keli, if you have anything to say, just tell me.” She didn’t want to eat with Wei Keli.
“It’s better to find a place to sit down and talk.” Wei Keli glanced around.
Nowadays, most of the student were freshmen, very few were uppercla.s.smen.
Therefore, the campus also seemed a little empty.
There weren’t many people coming and going.
“Brother Keli, do you want to talk about what happened at noon, right?” Tan Mo didn’t beat around the bush with Wei Keli.
Wei Keli paused, nodded, and said, “Yes. Mo Mo, at noon, I had no choice but to do what I did.” Wei Keli hesitated and said, “I hope you aren’t angry. I don’t want it to affect the relations.h.i.+p between us.”
Tan Mo: “…”
Tan Mo was dumbfounded.
She blinked and looked up at Wei Keli.
Is this person serious?
His brain is okay, right?
With his brains, how did he ever get admitted to Beijing University?
What relations.h.i.+p do they have?
Was he kidding?
Besides, if he didn’t want to apologize for what he did at noon, he didn’t need to apologize, but he hoped that she wouldn’t be angry?
Tan Mo was shocked. Even though she was very experienced in dealing with hypocrites and pa.s.sive-aggressive individuals, she still didn’t know how to react to this for a while.
In fact, a pretentious hypocrite like Wei Keli really put everyone else to shame!
Wei Keli looked at Tan Mo’s reaction and thought she was stunned because of her naivete. He didn’t know that it was his shamefulness that had stunned her.
“Mo Mo, you are still young, so maybe you don’t understand.” Wei Keli, thinking that Tan Mo had a simple mind so she couldn’t think of such complicated things, sighed and said, “The adult world is very complicated. Although I just became an adult, in the Wei family, the start of adulthood isn’t at age 18. In the Wei family, one must mature early.
“As early as ten years old, I already knew what I had to do.” Wei Keli raised his head and glanced at the sky that was already floating with red clouds and sighed again deeply. “In the adult world, there is no clear distinction between right and wrong.
“My position in the Wei family isn’t stable now. If I don’t show my abilities and usefulness, even if I am a direct descendant of the Wei family, I will be marginalized. I have to have my own powerful network of connections.” Wei Keli looked toward Tan Mo. “To put it bluntly, I’m not strong enough to say what I want to say and do what I want to do now.
“Even if it’s just Qin Murong, I can’t afford to offend her. On the contrary, I have to please her as much as possible. It isn’t because of how capable and influential she is. But her father is influential enough. Although her father isn’t as powerful as Qin Mufeng in my family, he’s still second only to the family’s leader. If I could establish a relations.h.i.+p with Qin Murong’s family, it will be very helpful to my future development.”
Wei Keli stopped talking then and said, “So, Mo Mo, it’s not that I don’t want to help you and stand by your side, but I can’t. My hands are tied. Only when I become stronger can I protect you.
“I want to protect you and give you a reliable and st.u.r.dy shoulder to rely on.” Wei Keli put his hand on Tan Mo’s shoulder and said, “So Mo Mo, wait for me. I will soon be able to stop you being wronged when facing Qin Murong.
“Mo Mo, are you willing to understand me and support me?” Wei Keli looked at Tan Mo with a deep gaze. “I believe you must be willing. You are so kind and always understand me. We grew up together, and you have always hoped that things will go well for me. You will definitely support me, right?”
Tan Mo really wanted to vomit now.
Wei Keli’s remarks were so outrageous that she didn’t know what she should start complaining about first.
Does she actually need his protection?
She doesn’t need his protection, and she has never been wronged by Qin Murong.
Because Wei Zhiqian has never let her be wronged by anyone.
Besides, why would she rely on him?
She has Wei Zhiqian, her parents, and her brothers, who are all so reliable.
It would never be Wei Keli’s turn, even if he wanted her to rely on him.
Besides, him wanting to please Qin Murong was his own business, so why should she be understanding?
He can do whatever he likes.
Tan Mo swallowed her nausea, then smiled at Wei Keli with a more docile and understanding smile. “Brother Keli, I understand.
“How could I blame you? I never blamed you.” Tan Mo counted the debts carefully. “At the beginning, Yuan Keqing wanted my doll, and you wanted me to give it to Yuan Keqing to play with. You even misunderstood and thought that I had deliberately thrown away the doll, but I never blamed you.”
Was Yuan Keqing that capable?
Would she let Wei Keli wrong her because of Yuan Keqing?
It was just an excuse for himself because he’s too stupid.
“Later, Qin Muxiao wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h my doll, and Qin Murong helped Qin Muxiao bully me. You also asked me to give them the doll and don’t make things unpleasant. I didn’t blame you either.”
The more Tan Mo spoke, the more Wei Keli’s face burned.
“Because you will always be my Brother Keli.” As Tan Mo spoke, she added a footnote to Brother Keli in her own dictionary.
