Chapter 509: He Must Have a Loose Screw

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Tan Wenci was the only son in the family.

Therefore, they had no uncle except for Tan Mo, who had been calling Wei Zhiqian her uncle.

Wei Zhiqian was ruffled by how Tan Jinqi addressed him, thinking the latter had taken leave of his senses.

Tan Mo had been calling him uncle because he insisted she did so.

At that moment, Wei Zhiqian had an intense desire to travel back in time to give his 15-year-old self a knock on his head.

He must have been out of his mind to ask Tan Mo to call him uncle.

Wei Zhiqian could still recall the entire happening vividly.

Back then, Tan Mo had addressed him as Brother Zhiqian.

He must have had a loose screw to insist on letting Tan Mo call him uncle so that she would be the same as Wei Keli in terms of seniority.

The night before, he had a dream about his first meeting with Tan Mo, where he carried Tan Mo in his arms. She called him Brother Zhiqian.

However, he did not correct her this time but accepted it.

Hence, they became childhood friends and grew up together.

Years later, she realized that she had fallen in love with him.

She would blush and be obedient as a puppy whenever she saw him and even let him kiss her.

At that, Wei Zhiqian woke up in elation and realized that everything that happened earlier was nothing but a dream.

In reality, Tan Mo was still calling him an uncle like usual.

The comparison between dream and real-life only further worsened his regret and annoyance.

On the other hand, Tan Jinqi had never once called him an uncle like Tan Mo did.

Naturally, Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi did not do that as well.

Moreover, addressing Wei Zhiqian as his uncle when he was only one year younger than the former was a pretty odd thing in itself.

Besides, they were not blood relatives, so they had no reason to do so.

That was just Wei Zhiqian trifling with her back then.

Still, Tan Jinqi blurted that word out of his mouth impulsively.

“Ahem.” Wei Zhiqian cleared his throat and asked, “Why did you suddenly call me that? I don’t remember hearing you calling me that before.”

“Nothing much. I just realized that I’ve never called you that way. I thought perhaps it was about time I changed how I address you,” Tan Jinqi replied.

“Ahem.” Wei Zhiqian said, “There’s no need for that. We should keep it the way it is. Although Momo has been calling me that, I felt weird hearing you address me that way.”

“Don’t worry. You’ll get used to it after a few times.” Tan Jinqi could not figure out why he was doing that, but he just followed his gut feeling.

After seeing Wei Zhiqian’s reluctance to be called an uncle, Tan Jinqi was more determined to do so.

Back then, Wei Zhiqian would make the three of them address him as an uncle jokingly from time to time.

Instead, they were the ones who would not do that no matter what.

Yet, when Tan Jinqi finally called him as he requested so, he seemed disinclined.

He had a feeling that there was more to it than met the eyes with that sudden change.

Tan Jinqi was convinced that he could not go wrong opposing Wei Zhiqian.

Not wanting to press on the matter any longer, the latter changed the subject and said, “I heard that Journey Films, Zhulu Culture, and Joyous Media rejected the pitch on your following film project.”

Wei Zhiqian hoped that Tan Jinqi would forget about calling him an uncle by changing the topic.

Tan Jinqi raised his brows and remarked, “You sure are fast at getting wind of this.”

Wei Zhiqian heaved a sigh of relief as Tan Jinqi stopped calling him an uncle.

“We just got out of Zhulu Culture’s office building and are still standing before its main entrance, and you already know about it.” Tan Jinqi knew that Wei Zhiqian would not send someone to stalk them.

His speed in getting first-hand information was truly confounding.

“Momo has been preoccupied with her script lately, so I know that you’re developing your first film project. She also told me that you would meet the executives from these three companies today to talk about project investment. That’s why I paid attention to the updates,” Wei Zhiqian explained.

“Since the negotiation failed, why don’t you come over to my company? I happen to be thinking about discussing this matter with you,” Wei Zhiqian commented.

“Now?” Tan Jinqi asked. ‘Why the rush?’

“Yeah. We should set things in motion as soon as possible,” Wei Zhiqian said. “It’ll be lunchtime when you arrive at Weifeng from Zhulu Culture. I’ll ask my people to reserve a room near the office later. We shall meet at the restaurant. I’ll send you the location in a while.”

“Okay.” Since Wei Zhiqian was eager to hasten the meetup, it looked like he had something important to discuss. Tan Jinqi did not waste time on unnecessary chatter.

After ending the call, Tan Jinqi turned to Tan Mo and said, “It was a call from Wei Zhiqian.”

“Uncle?” Tan Mo’s eyes widened as she shifted all her attention to Wei Zhiqian.

Tan Jinqi felt displeased at the sight of it. “He seems to have something important to talk about. He wants to meet me at a restaurant nearby Weifeng.”

After speaking, Tan Jinqi received a WeChat message notification on his phone.

Clicking the message open, it was the restaurant’s name with its address.

“It’s a Japanese restaurant,” Tan Jinqi noted.

“I know this place! The food is good!” Tan Mo was excited at the mention of Japanese cuisine. “Big Brother, let me go with you.”

“Sure thing.” Both Tan Jinqi and Wei Zhiqian would never mind having Tan Mo follow them no matter what occasion it was.

Also, Tan Jinqi could not feel at ease letting Tan Mo head back alone.

Thus, the two of them got in the car.

With that, Tan Jinqi opened the GPS app and followed the route to the restaurant.

Since Zhou Jingan was the one who booked the room, Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo mentioned the former’s name first thing after getting in.

Wasting no time, they were immediately guided to the reserved room by the server.

Wei Zhiqian did not expect Tan Mo to be around, so he was visibly surprised upon seeing her. With a broad smile on his face, he asked, “Momo is here too?”

At that, Tan Jinqi questioned, “You knew that I was rejected by those three companies but didn’t know that Momo was coming with me?”

“Indeed. I had no idea.” Wei Zhiqian tapped on the seat beside him, beckoning Tan Mo to come and sit.

The seating area was sunken. From a different perspective, it would seem like they were sitting on the tatami, but their legs were actually stretched out. So, there would not be the issue of numbness in the legs after a prolonged period of sitting.

In reflex, Tan Mo dashed toward Wei Zhiqian and sat beside him without any hesitation. It was as though she had forgotten that she had come with Tan Jinqi.

Tan Mo’s movement was so quick that Tan Jinqi could not stop her in time.

Tan Jinqi was dumbfounded at the sight of it.

It seemed she had forgotten about her eldest brother upon seeing Wei Zhiqian.

He only regained his senses after Tan Mo sat down.

But there was no need to change the place since she had already seated.

Wei Zhiqian said, “I only asked the people from the three companies and was told that they had rejected your offer. I didn’t send someone to stalk you, so I didn’t know that Momo was with you.”

As he promised Tan Mo before, he would not use his ability to eavesdrop on her unless it was necessary.

“Momo was with me the entire time when I met with them,” Tan Jinqi explained and did not fixate on the matter.
