Chapter 72: Win a Good Impression for Tan Mo

Immediately, Xu Mingzhen cautiously said in a low voice, “I haven’t told anybody about Young Master Wei’s condition, not even my husband and three sons.”

Butler Zhou nodded appreciatively. He was grateful that Xu Mingzhen was not a blabber.

No wonder the Tan family was respectable.

They weren’t a prominent family, but they were honorable.

Even though the Tan family had a humble background, they were good people to keep around.

Tan Wenci had a shrewd wife.

“It might affect your relationship you’re your husband if you keep something like this from him. If Young Master Wei trusts you, I believe it extends to your husband and sons.”

Hearing that, Xu Mingzhen felt that she should be more cautious.

Xu Mingzhen then assured Butler Zhou, “Don’t worry, my husband and sons can keep a secret.”

Xu Mingzhen contemplated the matter. Wei Zhiqian was seriously injured. Tan Mo would definitely be uneasy and would surely come to visit him.

If Tan Mo visited often, Xu Mingzhen wouldn’t be able to conceal the matter from the rest of the family.

They would ask her about it.

Therefore, it would be better to inform them about Wei Zhiqian’s condition.

Xu Mingzhen was relieved that Butler Zhou did not object to her telling the rest of the Tan family. She told herself that she would emphasize to them to keep the matter a secret at all costs.

“My Little Uncle was injured at the border, then on the way…” Tan Mo spoke again.

“First aid was given to him. The medical equipment there are limited, and it’s a foreign country after all. Young Master’s safety cannot be guaranteed. With a trustworthy doctor, he was flown back by private jet,” Butler Zhou explained.

At this time, the elevator reached the top floor.

To ensure that Wei Zhiqian’s condition would be kept under wraps, his operation was done on the topmost floor, even his private room.

The hospital had carefully selected a private and isolated area in the building that no one could enter at will.

Tan Mo and Xu Mingzhen followed Butler Zhou to the door of the operating room.

As expected, only the two elders of the Wei family, Wei Mingwen and his wife, were there.

“Great-grandpa, Great-grandma, Grandpa, Grandma…” In a span of nine years, Tan Mo had become very close with the two elders and Wei Mingwen and his wife. She was almost like a member of the Wei family.

Thus, she addressed them intimately.

Because of Wei Zhiqian’s insistence, Tan Mo had to call Wei Mingwen and his wife ‘grandpa’ and ‘grandma’ respectively.

Fortunately, Wei Mingwen and his wife didn’t have much contact with Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, so they were spared the awkwardness.

But now that they had met, Xu Mingzhen suddenly felt a generation younger than Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan, so both parties felt awkward.

Xiao Menghan hurriedly got up and took Xu Mingzhen’s hand to say, “It’s all because my crazy son insists that Mo Mo calls him Little Uncle, so Mo Mo calls us Grandpa and Grandma. Mo Mo calls Qin Mufeng Little Uncle, but she is also friends with Qin Muye. Let’s forgo the formalities, shall we?”

Xu Mingzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Okay. How is Zhiqian’s situation now? Has the doctor come out yet for updates?”

“Not yet.” Xiao Menghan shook her head and said, “But the doctor said that his major organs were fine, so there should be no problem.”

Seeing Tan Mo, the Old Madam hurriedly pulled her over and said, “Why are you here? Butler Zhou told you?”

Tan Mo had no intention of letting the Old Madam find out the shenanigans in her family.

Yuan Keqing’s name was not worthy of the Old Madam’s ears.

Telling the Old Madam would be an honor for Yuan Keqing.

However, before Tan Mo could come up with an excuse, Butler Zhou said honestly, “It is because of Miss Mo Mo’s cousin. She has always been jealous of Miss Mo Mo, and she can’t stand Miss Mo Mo. This time, she wanted to sabotage Miss Mo Mo’s college entrance examination. I was not careful enough, and Yuan Keqing heard me talking about Young Master Wei’s condition. She told Miss Mo Mo about it before the college entrance examination.”

When the Old Madam heard this, she was shocked, her eyes widened, “Ah, I was so worried about Zhiqian’s condition that I forgot that today is the last day of the college entrance examination.”

The Old Madam glanced at the time and continued, “But why are you here so soon? It hasn’t been long since the exam ended.”

“When Miss Mo Mo learned that Young Master Wei was injured, she answered all the questions as quickly as possible, then hand in the exam ahead of time.” Butler Zhou tried to win a good impression for Tan Mo.

Tan Mo was really touched by what Butler Zhou had done.

How could he not let the elders of the Wei family know of Tan Mo’s compassion?

“This…” Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan were shocked, and their expressions were apologetic.

“Mo Mo is just worried about Zhiqian. Don’t be sorry,” Xu Mingzhen assured them. “Zhiqian is undergoing an operation. His condition is more important.”

“Besides, if you really want to hold someone responsible,” Xu Mingzhen continued, “just blame Mo Mo’s cousin. She just wanted to mess with Mo Mo’s mind so Mo Mo would lose focus during the exam.”

The Old Madam smacked Tan Mo on the arm as if she was hitting her own child. “You child! The college entrance examination is very important. It’s the beginning of your future. How could you have rushed it? Zhiqian’s condition hasn’t changed even now that you’re here.”

“Great-grandma, don’t be angry.” Tan Mo tried to pacify the Old Madam as she secretly transferred some energy to her to help dispel her irritation and sadness about Wei Zhiqian’s condition.

“I finished the exam. Although I was done with it early, I answered all the questions and was able to double-check them. Did you forget how smart I am? The exam wasn’t difficult for me at all. Handing in it early will not affect my grade.” Tan Mo smiled and continued, “Moreover, even though I was informed of my little uncle’s state, I was still able to concentrate on completing the exam as quickly as possible. I was thinking, the earlier I finished the exam, the sooner I could come here.”

The Old Madam was now at ease—thanks to Tan Mo’s calming power. She wasn’t angry anymore.

“Good girl.” The Old Madam stroked Tan Mo’s hair gently.

She could tell that Tan Mo was really anxious.

While taking the test, Tan Mo tied her hair into a ponytail to avoid being distracted. However, because she was too anxious on the way to the hospital, she rushed in, and her hair was now disheveled.

The Old Madam couldn’t hide the emotions in her heart.

Over the years, they all witnessed how good Wei Zhiqian had been to Tan Mo.

Wei Zhiqian really didn’t dote on Tan Mo in vain.

When she saw the opportunity, Tan Mo discreetly transferred energy to the Old Master, Wei Mingwen, and his wife as well.

She wanted them to be at ease.

A thought suddenly occurred to Xu Mingzhen. She quietly walked towards Butler Zhou and whispered, “Butler Zhou, I just remembered something. Yuan Keqing overheard our conversation. She also knows that Zhiqian is injured. Will…”

Xu Mingzhen’s eyes were filled with anxiety. She continued, “She has always been on good terms with Wei Keli.”

“Don’t worry. I have someone watching her. They’ll make sure Yuan Keqing won’t talk about it.” Butler Zhou smiled slightly. He had already arranged everything in advance.
