Chapter 627: I’ll Come Back Tomorrow

“Yes, I like him a lot.” Tan Mo had a determined look on her face.

Tan Wenci sighed.

Since his child had already put it to him so firmly, what use was it for him to keep going against her will even if he were her father?

Were parents really capable of dissuading their own child?

Although he was already inclined to agree in his heart, Tan Wenci still could not swallow this anger. He said to Wei Zhiqian unhappily, “You go back first.”

“Dad…”

“Momo!” Tan Jinqi shot a warning glance at Tan Mo.

Had she not seen her father already loosening up?

If Tan Mo did not let it go this instant, her father would probably be so angry that he would reject her altogether.

Tan Mo could only shut her mouth and did not dare to go on talking.

“Then I’ll come back tomorrow,” said Wei Zhiqian.

“You stupid boy…” Wei Zhiqian was about to become his son-in-law, so Tan Wenci did not bother with formalities. “Hurry up and leave!”

In the end, Tan Wenci did not bar him from coming tomorrow.

After Wei Zhiqian had left, Tan Wenci said sternly to Tan Mo. “Just stay at home. You’re not allowed to go out tomorrow.

Tan Mo pondered. Her uncle was coming tomorrow, so even if he were paying her to go out tomorrow, she would never do it.

Tan Wenci went back to her room angrily, and Xu Mingzhen followed behind her.

The three tan brothers surrounded Tan Mo. Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi were expressing their heartache to Tan Mo.

Auntie Guo was so shocked she could not speak.

Was Tan Mo was dating Wei Zhiqian?

However, when she carefully thought about how the two of them looked together, it was actually an indescribably good match.

Auntie Guo could not help laughing.

In the bedroom, Tan Wenci angrily changed his clothes.

Xu Mingzhen smiled and said, “Actually, you’ve already agreed to let them date in your heart.”

“What else can we do?” Tan Wenci sighed. “Didn’t you hear what Momo said? She adores Wei Zhiqian. All we did was criticize him a little, but she got so upset.”

“Besides, they are already together. What else can we say even if we don’t like him?” Tan Wenci shook his head and threw the clothes into the laundry basket in the bathroom.

Auntie Guo would put them in the was.h.i.+ng machine when she came to clean the room tomorrow.

“Do you think parents are capable of dissuading their children?” Tan Wenci sighed, “That doesn’t mean I can’t be angry, right?”

“That stupid Wei Zhiqian. He repeatedly asked Momo to call him uncle, but he ended up making her his girlfriend. It’s my fault for not seeing it sooner. He had been right under my eye all this time, but I did not see it coming.”

As the saying went, it was hard to guard against a thief within the family!

Xu Mingzhen held back her laughter and said, “Actually, apart from Zhiqian’s age, he’s a great guy.”

“However, it’s just as he said, he is older and more mature. Moreover, he’s taking over Weifeng now, and he’s not some innocent little boy who doesn’t know anything. Guys around the same age as Momo won’t have age gap problems. Then again, if he’s too innocent, he won’t go far and won’t be able to give Momo what she needs.’

“We doted on by her ever since she was born. Just because she is ready to date and marry, does this mean the roles should be reversed?”

“How could we let it happen?” Tan Wenci could not bear thinking about it. “How could the child that we spend all her life indulging end up taking care of others? Her future man has to take over our roles and continue doting her just like we did.”

“Exactly.” Xu Mingzhen laughed and said, “To be honest, we discovered quite a few problems today. For example, we neglected the silent pressure and the matter of celebrating for her. However, the Wei family and Zhiqian didn’t forget any of these. I’ve thought about it too. It’s all because the Wei family and Zhiqian adored Momo all these years. They took care of Momo even better than I did. As her biological mother… have I been slacking off since they were around to take care of her?”

“All this while, Zhiqian had been avenging the grievances Momo suffered. Wei Keli got muddle-headed and helped Yuan Keqing bully Momo at Xiangrong’s place when they were kids. Zhiqian was the one who helped Momo. When Momo was in primary school, Qin Muxiao ganged up with the cla.s.s to ostracize Momo. Zhiqian also supported Momo. He made sure those people wouldn’t dare to ostracize Momo anymore and not dare to offend her.”

“Zhiqian gave Momo lessons, tutoring and helped her jump grades. During the college entrance exams, Yuan Keqing schemed against Momo. Zhiqian held back until Yuan Keqing partic.i.p.ated in the college entrance exam and sought revenge. Momo partic.i.p.ated in the compet.i.tion at Beijing University and got bullied, so Zhiqian rushed to the scene to support her.”

“Zhiqian did each and every one of these things for Momo. In comparison, we didn’t do much.” Xu Mingzhen pushed Tan Wenci’s arm. “Think about it. Each time Momo was wronged, what did we do for her?”

Tan Wenci went speechless.

It seemed like… She was right.

To be clear, Wei Zhiqian always finished dealing with the problems before they could address them.

“Whatever it is, Zhiqian was right. Just as he said, in the past 12 years, he had been able to pamper Momo meticulously. As long as Momo was in his hands, he had never let her suffer the slightest bit of injustice. He has already persisted for 12 years, let alone the future?”

“I am not even talking about forever. These days, it’s already very rare for a young married couple to be able to persist in their marriage for long, not to mention that a husband could be meticulous and thoughtful to his wife for 12 years. Since there are plenty of obstacles in life, friction between husband and wife, and arguments were common occurrences. However, in the past 12 years, no matter what Momo did, Zhiqian only supported her. When had he ever thrown a temper at her? He never even gave her a cold face and couldn’t bear to speak loudly to her.”

“Momo wanted to skip a grade, but we didn’t think she could do it. Zhiqian was the only one who Had faith in her and supported her without hesitation,” Xu Mingzhen said, “In hindsight, he is a very thoughtful and loving man because of his age difference.”

“You even asked Momo at the Wei residence if she had confused her feelings for Zhiqian, but I didn’t expect you to support them first.” Tan Wenci smiled sadly.

“Then what else can we do? Didn’t you hear what Momo said? She knows herself best, right? How can we force her to do things our way? She knows how she feels, but she can’t prove it, so this is making her very anxious. I can’t bear to see her sad, and I can’t bear for her to feel bad because of us.”

“This aside, we still have to consider how the Wei family has taken care of us all these years. Just the two elders and Zhiqian’s parents have been truly sincere to Momo. Tanyue Homeware would never have reached its height without them. We’ve become one of the top brands in China thanks to the Wei family’s connections. People were willing to work with us on account of the Wei family.”

“Today, at the dinner table, we threw a temper at Zhiqian because of Momo. We made it very clear we did not want them to date. Although we didn’t say it directly, our att.i.tude clearly showed our dislike for Zhiqian’s age..”
