Chapter 369: Favoritism

“Maybe she was caught up in something she shouldn’t have been. I’m not sure what happened either.” Qin Mufeng made a flippant remark.

“She’s irrelevant. No one should care what she does anyway.” Qin Muye waved her hand and asked Qin Muxiao, “Since when have you started taking an interest in small fries like her?”

“I think we should head over to check it out ourselves,” Qin Murong suggested. “After all, it involves the Wei family. It’d be better if we found out what happened.”

“Oh, wow. It seems like you’re aware that this has something to do with my family. So why are you making a fuss over nothing when I’m not even going?” Wei Zhiqian sneered. “You’re not even one of us.

“You may head over if you’re interested. But you shan’t go there under the guise of caring about my family,” Wei Zhiqian demanded sternly.

“I suggest that you stay put.” Qin Mufeng shot Qin Murong a sharp glance. “Even if you’re so keen to be there, you mustn’t do that in the name of our family. We don’t stick our noses where they don’t belong.”

“Speaking of which, who was the one who discovered it?” Qin Muye asked. “Since she took a bath at the hot spring, she should be in her own villa at that time. So how did others find out?”

Wei Zhiqian’s subordinate, who had reported the incident earlier, explained, “Mrs.Tan went to Ms. Yuan’s villa upon hearing of the latter’s arrival. Mrs. Tan did not press the doorbell since she had the access card, which had been given to her by Ms. Yuan. Mrs. Tan saw what was happening when she entered…”

Tan Mo was dumbfounded.

She wondered if her mother knew about Wei Keli’s scheme and had been working with Wei Zhiqian.

Noticing her confusion, Wei Zhiqian flashed her a look that indicated that he would explain it to her later.

“Is my mother still at my cousin’s?” Tan Mo questioned Wei Zhiqian’s subordinate.

“Yes, your parents and brothers are all there. The second Mr. Wei and his wife are there too.” To state the obvious, the second Mr. Wei and his wife were Wei Keli’s parents, Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong.

“I think we should go and have a look,” Tan Mo said while pulling on Wei Zhiqian’s arm, after she had heard that her family members were all there.

“Okay,” Wei Zhiqian agreed immediately.

Qin Murong was speechless.

Wei Zhiqian had turned her down by saying she should mind her own business.

Yet, he had immediately accepted Tan Mo’s request without a moment’s hesitation.

Do you have to show such a blatant partiality?

“We’re not joining you since it has nothing to do with the Qin family,” Qin Muye declared, while staring at Qin Murong and Qin Muxiao.

Those words were directed at the sisters.

Although Qin Muye wanted to go to watch the fun, she knew the sisters would follow should she decide to go.

Knowing the sisters’ personalities, they would undoubtedly stir up trouble if they were there.

Qin Murong must have harbored malicious intentions when she suggested going there earlier.

Even though Qin Muye was itching to follow, she suppressed her desire in order to pull in the reins on the sisters.

By doing so, she gave them no reason to follow.

“That’s right.” Qin Mufeng nodded. “This has nothing to do with our family. Hence, we’re not joining in.”

His remark served the purpose of burning the Qin sisters’ bridges.

Qin Muye’s quick-wittedness was beyond Qin Murong’s expectations.

The former had effortlessly cut off the sisters’ escape route.

Qin Murong did not dare to leave the room since Qin Mufeng had made himself clear.

Feeling reluctant, she watched Tan Mo leaving with Wei Zhiqian.

A while later, Qin Muye said, “Sister Murong, Muxiao, why don’t you join us for dinner since you’re already here? I’ll ask the kitchen to send food for us.”

She was stalling and thought of a reason to keep them with her for fear that the sisters might look for an opportunity to sneak over to Yuan Keqing’s.

Qin Mufeng felt comforted by the sight of it.

His sister had finally grown in wisdom and maturity to live up to her status as a Qin family daughter.

It was a fantastic feat that she could endure her loathing of the sisters and keep them here.

“Why not? Since Muye has mentioned it, you both may as well stay for dinner.” Qin Mufeng agreed..

At that, Qin Murong was at a loss for words.

What Qin Mufeng had said made it sound as if they were willing to stay.

“It’s getting late. I think we should go home now. It’s been a long day for Muye, and perhaps she could use some rest.” Qin Murong put on a forced smile. She couldn’t wait to leave that place.

“It’s dinnertime, and I have to eat no matter what. So you should fill up your empty tummy before you leave,” Qin Muye urged with a determined look.

With Qin Mufeng keeping an eye on them, Qin Murong had no choice but to agree.

…

Tan Mo was lost in thought on their journey to Yuan Keqing’s villa.

She recalled that during her previous life as a little snow fairy, she used her master’s fantastical mirror to watch the life stories of many people. Among them was Yuan Keqing, who had lived a similar life as she did in the present.

In that life, Yuan Keqing had also plotted to sleep with Wei Keli.

Furthermore, she had even planned for them to be found out by others.

Afterward, Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen became furious with Wei Keli and canceled the latter’s engagement with Tan Mo at once.

Nevertheless, Li Xiangrong would not acknowledge Yuan Keqing.

In modern times, it was normal for people to love freely.

Therefore, it would be unreasonable for people to take responsibility for someone’s life just because they had slept together.

If that were the case, then womanizers would be traumatized by all the countless women they had slept with asking them to take responsibility.

However, Yuan Keqing was skillful enough to secure Wei Keli for herself and eventually became pregnant by him, although many women had flocked after him.

Upon comparison, Tan Mo noticed the similarities between the tactics used by Yuan Keqing today and those of Yuan Keqing in the previous reality.

Both versions of her had schemed to have Wei Keli cuddle her in each other’s birthday suits.

Nonetheless, she had had help from Wei Zhiqian this time. So her plan went smoother this time than it had the previous time.

Tan Mo realized that despite the different outcomes of both realities, Yuan Keqing had never changed her methods.

Well, in retrospect, there was indeed a minor difference.

This time, Yuan Keqing had even dared to have designs on Wei Zhiqian.

In the previous reality, the Tan family called off her engagement and reiterated that it was the end of the line for Tan Mo and Wei Keli.

Yet, after all that, Yuan Keqing remained anxious, although her plan ended up coming to fruition.

Li Xiangrong had always loved Tan Mo a lot and treated her well.

On the other hand, she didn’t like Yuan Keqing.

Li Xiangrong had been giving Yuan Keqing the cold shoulder for a long time, in spite of Yuan Keqing’s efforts to win the former’s favor.

Li Xiangrong would disregard, ridicule, and mock the latter all the time.

Even when Yuan Keqing became pregnant, Li Xiangrong did not accept the former as her daughter-in-law.

Thus, Yuan Keqing surmised that Tan Mo’s existence was the reason she couldn’t be accepted.

She figured that if Tan Mo was no longer alive, Li Xiangrong would only be loving someone who was dead.

No matter how much love a corpse received, it could never snatch anything from a living person.

With that in mind, Yuan Keqing had conspired against Tan Mo to have Tan Mo meet with an accident that would take her life.

After that, Yuan Keqing’s ultrasound scan showed that her baby was a boy.

Following this revelation, Li Xiangrong reluctantly accepted her into the family.

Eventually, Yuan Zhengwen was sacked from his position in the company during the previous reality.

But it hadn’t happened as early as compared with the current incarnation.

After Yuan Zhengwen made a grave mistake, Tan Wenci discovered many violations that traced back to him while investigating the case. So, Yuan Zhengwen got fired in the end.

Similarly, he had started his own business following that.
