If she were to speak for Wei Zhiqian, Li Xiangrong would say that she was covering for him. In that case, Li Xiangrong would keep scolding him. Therefore, she had to wait for Wei Zhiqian to say something.

“And you!” Li Xiangrong looked at Tan Mo, her eyes filled with anger.

Wei Zhiqian frowned and immediately took a step forward, trying to protect Tan Mo.

“What are you doing? You think I will beat her?” Seeing Wei Zhiqian’s reaction, Li Xiangrong became even angrier. “I’m not you!”

Although Li Xiangrong already knew that it was impossible for Tan Mo to be Wei Keli’s girlfriend, there was still some hope in her mind. What if one day she fell in love with Keli?

However, even if it was impossible for Tan Mo to fall in love with Wei Keli, there would be another way. Although it would be a pity, Li Xiangrong thought it was acceptable. After all, Tan Mo was not the only girl in this world. If Tan Mo wasn’t willing to be her daughter-in-law, she could just look for another suitable girl.

However, she couldn’t accept that Tan Mo fell in love with Wei Zhiqian.

There were numerous men in this world. Why did she have to go out with Wei Zhiqian? Why did she have to live with the Wei family? If she stayed in the Wei family, Wei Keli would see her every day. How was Wei Keli supposed to deal with that awkward problem?

Moreover, Wei Zhiqian was Wei Keli’s uncle! How embarrassing it would be if Tan Mo became his girlfriend! In that case, she would become the wife of Wei Keli’s uncle, and in the future, Wei Keli had to call her aunt! In the past, she called Wei Keli brother, but in the future, she wanted him to call her aunt.

In Li Xiangrong’s opinion, she used to be nice to Tan Mo, and Wei Keli had been obedient to Tan Mo since he was young. How could Tan Mo be so cruel?

“Tan Mo!” Li xiangrong shouted, “Keli has always been so nice to you, and I treat you like my own daughter. But why did you just stand by and watch him beaten by Zhiqian? Why didn’t you even stop him? This … this is how you repay us?” Li Xiangrong looked disappointed. “You are Keli’s childhood sweetheart. You grew up together. But you just watched Zhiqian break his fingers and did nothing?”

Old Madam Wei frowned. She thought Li Xiangrong had gone too far.

Tan Mo squeezed Wei Zhiqian’s hand behind him as if she were saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of this.” Then, she went up from behind Wei Zhiqian.

“Sister-in-law,” Tan Mo voiced out.

Everyone was speechless.

Everyone in the room, including Wei Zhiqian, was shocked by Tan Mo calling Li Xiangrong sister-in-law.

Li Xiangrong’s face grew colder. She knew that Tan Mo must have done it on purpose! She had just said that she treated Tan Mo as her own daughter, yet Tan Mo called her sister-in-law? Moreover, Tan Mo was only eighteen, while she was already old enough to be Tan Mo’s mother. She didn’t expect that she would be called sister-in-law by such a young girl!

In Li Xiangrong’s opinion, Tan Mo had always been a child, just like Wei Keli, her own son. How was she supposed to accept the fact that Tan Mo called her sister-in-law?

Not to mention Li Xiangrong, even Wei Mingzhong, Wei Mingxiao, and their wives looked at Tan Mo in a daze. After all, this girl looked very obedient earlier. Who would have known that she would say something like this? She had always treated Li Xiangrong as an elder. But now, she called her sister-in-law. If they were Tan Mo, they would get stuck in a dilemma and kept silent.

Xiao Menghan’s mouth twitched as she tried to hold back her laughter. “Good … good job, Tan Mo! That’s it!” she thought.

Only by supporting each other would Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian be able to have a happy marriage. Otherwise, there would always be one of them who protected the other unconditionally, while the other one would always be protected, not making any sacrifices. Such an unequal relationship might seem just fine in the beginning, but the longer it lasted, sooner or later, it would break up.

As a mother, Xiao Menghan didn’t want to see her son make sacrifices forever. No matter how invincible Wei Zhiqian was, she wanted someone to protect him and stand beside him instead of hiding behind him. After all, as his mother, she had to leave this world before Wei Zhiqian did. She hoped that Wei Zhiqian’s wife would support him for the rest of his life. No matter how strong a person was, there would always be a moment when he was weak. She hoped that his son’s wife would be able to support him and protect him when he was weak. She did not want to see the day when Wei Zhiqian could only rely on himself for the rest of his life.

Xiao Menghan had always known that Tan Mo was not an ungrateful girl. When Tan Mo was 15 years old, she could go to the hospital to take care of Wei Zhiqian without even caring about the college entrance exam.

Therefore, even though Tan Mo was only 18 years old now, Xiao Menghan still saw her as a mature girl. As expected, she did not misjudge her.

When other people saw that Tan Mo was much younger than Wei Zhiqian, they thought that it was Wei Zhiqian who was always taking care of Tan Mo. However, they did not expect that Tan Mo would step forward to protect Wei Zhiqian at the crucial moment.

Xiao Menghan saw Tan Mo stand with Wei Zhiqian side by side. Although Tan Mo was much shorter than Wei Zhiqian, there seemed to be a large amount of energy in her small body. She stood there and supported Wei Zhiqian. They made a perfect match.

Besides Xiao Menghan and Wei Mingwen, Old Mister Wei and Old Madam Wei also felt pleased. After they heard Tan Mo call Li Xiangrong sister-in-law, they couldn’t help putting up a gratified look on their faces, although the current situation was not suitable for them to smile,

“What did you call me?” Li Xiangrong asked through her gritted teeth. Her expression was extremely stiff at the moment.

“Sister-in-law.” Tan Mo called her again. When she called her sister-in-law just now, she also felt embarrassed.

Tan Mo told herself that she would get used to it after calling Li Xiangrong sister-in-law a few more times. This time, she found that it sounded much more natural than before.

“I’m Brother Zhiqian’s girlfriend.” Tan Mo said, “Moreover, I’m sure that we will get married. In that case, I’ll call you sister-in-law in advance.”

Tan Mo turned to ask Old Mister Wei and Old Madam, Wei Ming, and Xiao Menghan, “Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, can I call her like that?”

“Of course.” Old Mister Wei didn’t care whether it was appropriate or not. He nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face. After all, he was the oldest and the most senior in this family anyway. He was laughing at this moment, and no one could blame him!

Li Xiangrong was irritated. Wei Keli had been bullied by Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo, yet Old Mister Wei was still laughing?

“Of course, you can,” followed Old Madam Wei. “She will be your sister-in-law, sooner or later.”

“In any case, I will only acknowledge you as my son’s wife,” Xiao Menghan said. “I will never let him marry anyone else for the rest of his life. If he marries another woman in the future, I’ll kick her out of this family.” This meant that compared with a grandson, she needed Tan Mo more.

“I won’t marry anyone else in my life. I’ll only marry Momo,” Wei Zhiqian said in a hurry. He was afraid that Tan Mo would remember Xiao Menghan’s words.

Wei Mingwen smiled gently. “We’ve already treated you as our family. It’s not wrong for you to call her sister-in-law. By the way, call me brother-in-law.” Wei Mingwen said bluntly.

Wei Zhijian was speechless.

Tan Mo didn’t care what Wei Zhijian and his family were thinking. She followed Wei Mingwen’s advice.. “Brother-in-law.”
