Chapter 661: I’m Here to Join This Family
Tan Mo felt Wei Zhiqian would not stay well behaved for long.
Sure enough, since it was almost the Chinese New Year, Wei Zhiqian had suddenly made a killing move.
He had caught her parents and brothers by surprise.
“Cough!” Tan Wenci couldn’t take it anymore, so he said, “Zhiqian, isn’t it a little too early to call us ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’ now?”
Every day, Xu Mingzhen kept saying nice things about Wei Zhiqian, so Tan Wenci’s attitude towards Wei Zhiqian had finally improved a little.
Xu Mingzhen kept telling him Tan Mo liked Wei Zhiqian.
Even if Tan Wenci didn’t care about anything else, he still had to consider Tan Mo’s feelings.
Besides, after they started dating, the next step would be marriage, right?
In the end, if they didn’t get married, then they would just break up.
Among the couples who broke up, at least one of them would be in pain.
He undoubtedly would not want Tan Mo to be sad, right?
If they did not want Tan Mo to be hurt, then they could only hope that the relationship between Mo and Wei Zhiqian would be smooth sailing.
Since he wanted their relationship to turn out well, would it not make sense to treat Wei Zhiqian a little better?
After the two of them got married, he would have to treat Wei Zhiqian well in the hope that he would treat Tan Mo well.
Besides, all things aside, Wei Zhiqian had done enough things for Tan Mo so far.
Was it not enough for Tan Wenci to treat Wei Zhiqian kindly?
Fortunately, Xu Mingzhen pinched his ear and persuaded Tan Wenci every day, so Tan Wenci was much more polite to Wei Zhiqian now.
However, the nice atmosphere did not last. Wei Zhiqian suddenly called Xu Mingzhen “Mom” and gave them a rude shock.
Tan Wenci was furious!
He felt it was a mistake to be nice to Wei Zhiqian!
Look at how he was acting!
Just as he was about to lash out, he saw Xu Mingzhen glaring at him with a warning look.
Tan Wenci could only shrink back fearfully.
Tan Wenci felt ever since Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo were together, his status in this family had been declining.
In the past, Xu Mingzhen had been able to share a common enemy with him and guard against Wei Zhiqian.
When Xu Mingzhen first found out Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo had started dating, she also felt they shared a common enemy and felt Wei Zhiqian had stolen their Momo.
Even if Xu Mingzhen had tried to persuade him that night, he also knew that Xu Mingzhen just didn’t want to make things difficult for Tan Mo.
However, in his heart, he also felt that Wei Zhiqian was too old for Tan Mo.
More or less, he still felt that he couldn’t accept it for a moment.
However, he didn’t know when Xu Mingzhen’s attitude toward Wei Zhiqian changed.
She treated Wei Zhiqian like he was a son-in-law and was very nice to him.
Whenever Tan Wenci gave Wei Zhiqian a poor attitude, Xu Mingzhen would give Tan Wenci a piece of her mind.
Tan Wenci’s position in the family declined day by day.
Wei Zhiqian’s position used to be the lowest in the Tan family.
Tan Wenci was second last.
But now, even though Tan Wenci could not be sure if Wei Zhiqian’s status in the family had surpassed his sons, it had definitely surpassed Tan Wenci.
Tan Wenci was about to burst out in anger just now, but Xu Mingzhen made him change his mind just by looking at him. Tan Mo couldn’t help but laugh.
She still remembered that some time ago when she was at home and Wei Zhiqian was not around.
Tan Wenci took the opportunity to say something bad about Wei Zhiqian in front of Tan Mo.
Of course, this was just family complaining to each other for fun.
Tan Wenci neither really wanted to break up Tan Mo and Wei Zhiqian, nor did he want to drive a wedge between them.
He just wanted to say some harmless little complaints.
At that time, Xu Mingzhen couldn’t stop laughing. She said to Tan Mo, “Ignore him. Your father is a troll now.”
Tan Mo gathered her thoughts and smiled at Tan Wenci’s sad face.
By calling Tan Mo’s parents “Mom” and “Dad”, it felt as though Tan Mo had already married Wei Zhiqian.
Wei Zhiqian unexpectedly said with a straight face, “Ever since I fell in love with Momo, I’ve been dating her with the mentality of marrying her. It is only a matter of time before I change the way I greet you.”
When Tan Wenci heard this, he was certain of Wei Zhiqian’s ill intentions. He immediately said, “But Momo is still young.”
How could anyone get married at the age of 18?
Did Wei Zhiqian think he could just sweep in and marry Tan Mo?
“I know.” Wei Zhiqian continued nodding. “It doesn’t matter even if we have to wait a few years. I’ll wait for Momo. However, whether it’s getting married now or a few years later, in the end, the result is still marriage. If the result doesn’t change, then changing my greeting a little earlier doesn’t matter.”
Tan Wenci was speechless.
“It is still too early.” Tan Wenci was furious.
Wei Zhiqian looked determined to change their minds.
It was as though no matter what Tan Wenci said, Wei Zhiqian would cover his ears, shake his head, and chant sutra, anything not to hear it.
Wei Zhiqian watched as Tan Wenci threw a temper and said very sincerely, “Dad, don’t worry. I’m not here to destroy this family. I’m here to join this family.”
Tan Wenci went quiet.
Tan Wenci really wanted to say: Join his ass!
However, Wei Zhiqian didn’t care at all. In any case, he was determined to call them “Mom” and “Dad”.
It was impossible for him to return to the way he used to call them “Uncle” and “Auntie”.
In any case, if he called them many times, they would get used to it after being brainwashed.
That night, no matter what Wei Zhiqian said over dinner, he had to call them “Mom” and “Dad”.
Even if it had nothing to do with Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, he added them to the conversation.
“Dad, Mom, Momo, here.” Wei Zhiqian peeled a prawn and put it on Tan Mo’s plate.
It had nothing to do with Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen.
Tan Wenci went quiet and pondered. If it had nothing to do with them, then why did he call them?
“Dad, Mom.” Wei Zhiqian really wanted to speak to them this time. “On the first day of the Chinese New Year, I want to bring Momo back to the old residence for dinner.”
He was treating Tan Mo as his future wife, so he wanted to bring her to the in-laws’ place for a meal during the Chinese New Year.
Since they were not officially married yet, he had no reason to bring Tan Mo back on the eve of the Chinese New Year.
Of course, the Wei family would definitely be happy.
The main reason was that Tan Wenci refused to let them go.
Tan Wenci nodded. “Sure.”
Tan Wenci had already approved of the two of them dating.
Also, Wei Zhiqian was not just talking big, he also used actual actions to indicate that he wanted to marry Tan Mo.
Since the two children were serious about marriage, it was only natural that Tan Mo visited the Wei family more.
Moreover, it wasn’t the time for the Tan family’s reunion dinner yet.
Hence, Tan Wenci did not object.

Xu Mingjing returned home with Yuan Keqing, filled with worry.
Before entering the house, Xu Mingjing reminded Yuan Keqing, “What happened tonight…”
Xu Mingjing paused for a moment, but she felt that there was nothing to hide from Yuan Keqing.
Yuan Keqing already knew everything that happened tonight.
Xu Mingjing simply explained, “I know Wei Zhiqian said that he wanted to get rid of a third of Yuanyi’s business first.”
“Don’t tell your father yet,” Xu Mingjing said in a low voice. “Who knows if he is really going to do it?”
“No matter how powerful he is, he won’t be able to destroy one-third of our business with just one sentence,” analyzed Xu Mingjing. She didn’t know if she really thought so or if she was just trying to comfort herself..
