Chapter 312: Something to Tell Mo Mo

The three brothers of the Tan family: “……”

None of them spoke.

Tan Jinqi had an unreadable expression.

Xu Mingzhen acknowledged that she was behind Tan Jinqi in terms of intelligence and insight.

However, she had given birth to these three brothers.

She still had an understanding of her sons no matter how many hidden thoughts they might have.

Xu Mingzhen knew what was going on when she saw Tan Jinqi’s expression.

“It couldn’t be that you didn’t think of any good ideas even after brainstorming all night?” Once Xu Mingzhen said that, Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi’s faces fell.

Tan Jinqi’s expression looked even more unreadable.

It was the most naïve one, Tan Jinyi, who scratched his hair and said, “We thought a lot, but did not think of any good ideas. It’s so irritating!”

“All right, don’t think anymore,” Xu Mingzhen said. “You know how Mo Mo is. She is happiest when she celebrates her birthday with the friends and family she cares the most about. Having this is better than any surprise.

“Didn’t you notice? At midnight, when Mo Mo mentioned the fireworks, she only mentioned it briefly. The most important part was that Wei Zhiqian not only arranged the fireworks for her, but he was also there at the time and wished her a happy birthday. The key was that Wei Zhiqian had been there.

“Thus, no matter what surprise it was, it would not be as important as your presence.”

“Then we will just have to lose to Wei Zhiqian?” Tan Jinsheng said resentfully.

“Second brother, are you able to think of a good idea?” Tan Jinyi asked.

They couldn’t think of any overnight.

Tan Jinsheng: “……”

He had the urge to hit his brother.

“All right, stop thinking right now,” Xu Mingzhen said. “You all have such dark circles under your eyes. Quickly go to sleep. Otherwise, when Mo Mo comes back, she will see all of you with panda eyes.”

The three brothers returned to their bedrooms to sleep after much convincing.

They had finished their breakfast, which was why Xu Mingzhen pushed them to return to sleep.

Auntie Guo was making porridge for Xu Mingzhen. While waiting, Xu Mingzhen took out her phone in boredom.

She was looking at their family group chat in order to read the messages that she’d missed since she’d turned in early the night before.

When she saw the screenshot of the conversation between Tan Mo and Wei Keli, Xu Mingzhen laughed with anger, “How shameless!”

Xu Mingzhen really wanted to send the screenshot to Xiao Menghan.

However, she only thought about it, but dismissed the idea.

It might seem that she wanted to sow discord if she sent it to Xiao Menghan.

She knew that Wei Zhiqian had been dissatisfied with Wei Keli for a long time now. Xu Mingzhen decided not to make any unnecessary moves.

However, she still saved the screenshot.

If the topic happened to arise, she would let Wei Zhiqian have a look at it.

Xu Mingzhen rejoiced that she had decided against the idea of bringing Tan Mo and Wei Keli, who had a poor character, together.

Xu Mingzhen also had not invited Wei Keli for Tan Mo’s birthday this time.

She was worried that it would be hard to explain to Li Xiangrong, since although she disliked Wei Keli, her friends.h.i.+p with Li Xiangrong was unchanged.

They hadn’t invited the adults of the Wei family and the Qin family.

They’d only invited the juniors.

Such as Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye…

As for Wei Zhiqian, even if they hadn’t invited him, he would be sure to turn up.

As for Yuan Keqing, she naturally did not even invite her.

If Li Xiangrong really wanted to criticize her, then she could explain that it was a small-scale celebration for their family and they had only invited friends who were the same age as Tan Mo.

…

Tan Mo had made plans with Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye to leave school together to go to the location where she would celebrate her birthday.

The Tan family had reserved a holiday villa for a night.

After celebrating her birthday, everyone could party there all night.

As there were many people coming, the villa they’d booked was the largest at the resort.

It still seemed big even after including the Tan family, Ming Yeqing, Qin Muye, and even Wei Zhiqian.

There were also entertainment facilities in the villa. They could play anything they wanted without going too far.

The three of them were in different majors and in different courses.

However, all of them happened to have a cla.s.s at noon.

Thus, they had agreed to wait at the school entrance to leave together.

After cla.s.s ended, Tan Mo had left for the school entrance with her bag.

She had not expected to see Wei Keli waiting at the school building entrance when she exited it.

Tan Mo felt disgusted when she recalled that he had taken credit for Wei Zhiqian’s surprise.

Wei Zhiqian was one of her soft spots.

“Brother Keli,” Tan Mo walked up to Wei Keli and smiled sweeter than ever.

Behind that smile, she was thinking quickly of methods to deal with Wei Keli.

“Why are you here?” Tan Mo asked.

“Why didn’t you reply to my message last night?” Wei Keli asked. “I waited for more than an hour and did not receive your reply.”

“I was too sleepy and fell asleep without realizing,” Tan Mo said.

Wei Keli pursed his lips slightly and looked a little upset.

Midnight had been the best time to ask if Tan Mo had been touched when she found out that it was him who had arranged for the fireworks.

If he asked again now, he might appear too needy, and the atmosphere would be lost.

Wei Keli figured he should forget it.

He had forgotten that he was not the one who had arranged the fireworks. There was nothing for him to be upset about when Tan Mo did not say anything about it..

“Mo Mo, I have something to tell you,” Wei Keli looked around at their surroundings, which were filled with students walking to and fro.

“Go ahead,” Tan Mo seemed to not have gotten Wei Keli’s hint.

“I would like to speak with you privately. Can we go to a place with fewer people?” Wei Keli pointed to a nearby spot. “It is not far, over there would do.”

It was not far from the school building. If anything really happened, she would be able to attract attention by shouting.

However, Tan Mo felt that Wei Keli also did not have the guts to do anything improper.

“Can’t you tell me now? I have an appointment with my friends at the school entrance,” Tan Mo said.

Wei Keli said in a low voice, “I will not take up too much of your time.”

“All right.” Tan Mo nodded.

Wei Keli finally smiled and took Tan Mo to the place he had pointed at earlier.

Wei Keli had chosen a good location.

It was not far from the school building.

Tan Mo would be heard if she shouted.

However, it was also slightly hidden so there was some quiet among the noise.

There would be no one around the corner, but they could still hear the chatter of the nearby students.

“Brother Keli, what exactly do you want to say?” Tan Mo asked.

“I have yet to officially wish you a happy birthday,” Wei Keli took out a present. “Here is your birthday present.”

“This…” Tan Mo didn’t wish to accept Wei Keli’s gift.

Ever since she’d realized who he really was, she had never accepted anything from Wei Keli.

After all, it would be difficult to set a trap for him if she had accepted benefits from him.

Of course, she had always used all sorts of reasons to gloss over her situations.
