Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion

Chapter 40: The Wei Family Was Determined to Keep Tan Mo

The Tan family stood up and greeted the couple.

“Mr. Tan.” Wei Mingwen was glad to see Tan Wenci. It was just that he was bewildered to see the entire Tan family here. “This is…”

Tan Wenci chose his words carefully. “Young Master Wei wants to tutor Mo Mo.”

“What Young Master Wei? You’re all elders, and he’s a child. How can he bear it? He’s a junior. You can just call him Zhiqian,” Wei Mingwen said.

Tan Wenci initially felt that it was a bit awkward to call Wei Zhiqian that. However, since Wei Mingwen told him to, Tan Wenci changed the way he addressed the Wei family’s heir. “We are very grateful to Zhiqian for offering to tutor Mo Mo, but the schedule for tutoring still needs to be discussed. Mo Mo was brought here before we had time to voice out our opinions.”

Wei Mingwen’s eyes widened upon hearing this.

Although Tan Wenci was being very diplomatic, Wei Mingwen understood Wei Zhiqian’s temperament too well.

He obviously took the little girl away.

How was it okay to grab someone else’s daughter?

Wei Mingwen was even a little worried that if Wei Zhiqian turned into an adult and was old enough to have a girlfriend, would he just abduct whichever girl he had set his sights on?

“Tell me, what do you plan to do?” Wei Mingwen asked Wei Zhiqian as he sat down with Xiao Menghan.

“Mo Mo wants to skip grade levels,” Wei Zhiqian said.

Wei Mingwen was surprised to learn about this. “It isn’t easy to skip grade levels at Jixia Academy. In fact, it’s easier to get held back even with one grade level. Every year at Jixia Academy, many students repeat a certain level because they fail an exam.”

“Mo Mo is smart. Since she has proposed it, I think she’s confident with her skills,” Wei Zhiqian affirmed.

Wei Mingwen wanted to ask his son why he had such great confidence in Tan Mo.

Butler Zhou chimed in, “Sir, Miss Mo Mo said that she has a good memory. She has remembered all the points in this semester’s textbook after reading it two to three times. If she advances by one grade level at a time, it is indeed a waste of her talent and time.”

“Mo Mo is that impressive?” Wei Mingwen was surprised.

Although he was surprised, he didn’t have the slightest doubt about Tan Mo’s abilities.

He didn’t suspect that she was trying to impress.

This made the Tan’s family’s impression of Wei Mingwen even better.

They used to think that because he was the head of the Wei family, he was intimidating.

But now, he seemed easy to approach.

“In that case, it really can’t be delayed.” Wei Mingwen nodded in agreement.

“So I’m thinking that every day after school, I’ll just bring Mo Mo back and teach her the content further in the curriculum. When the time for the final exam comes, based on her progress, we’ll give her the appropriate test.” Wei Zhiqian’s face had a thoughtful smile on it. “We’re all in the same school, so it’s convenient to bring her with me after school. This way, she wouldn’t have to go home and then come here, since going back and forth is troublesome.”

Upon seeing the considerate look on his face, Tan Wenci had been suppressing the urge to spit on Wei Zhiqian’s face.

If he wanted a little sister, he should tell his parents to have another child!

What right did he have to snatch away their Mo Mo?

“It’s a good thing that you are willing to teach Mo Mo. We appreciate it,” Tan Wenci began. “It’s just that, Mo Mo has just started school. That means she won’t be able to spend much time at home anymore. If she eats and studies here and then returns so late, we won’t have much time to see her.”

Of course, a father would miss his girl.

“Can you adjust the schedule? Just tutor her for two to three days a week,” Xu Mingzhen negotiated.

“At that time, if Mo Mo fails the exam and her classmates find out, they will taunt her for being overly confident. When that time comes, Mo Mo herself will have to endure all the ridicule, and no one will be able to help her.”

Wei Zhiqian had a serious expression that gave Tan Wenci a sense that he was talking to an adult.

It made him think twice about looking down on him.

Considering the situation explained by Wei Zhiqian, the Tan family hesitated.

They wished they could stay with Tan Mo 24 hours a day, but they didn’t want to see Tan Mo hurt.

“I want to learn from Little Uncle.” Tan Mo’s voice was firm. “I will learn more efficiently and go home early.”

“Eating here is too much trouble for your family.” Xu Mingzhen would rather that her daughter ate dinner at home so they could dine together.

If it were the Yuan family, they would probably try to find an excuse to let Yuan Keqing live here.

What a great opportunity it was to have dinner with Wei Mingwen’s family.

It’s just that the Tan family was only thinking of Tan Mo’s welfare, and nothing else mattered.

“What trouble could it be?” Xiao Menghan liked Tan Mo, and it just so happened that Wei Zhiqian was very fond of her. Xiao Menghan didn’t mind helping out her son. “It’s just one more person eating, so it’s no trouble. By the way, tell me everything Mo Mo likes to eat, and I promise that our chef will prepare food that will suit Mo Mo’s tastes and preferences.”

Xu Mingzhen wasn’t sure how to respond.

She had a feeling that the Wei family was determined to keep Tan Mo.

“It just so happens that you are all here, so let’s have a meal together before you leave.” Wei Mingwen smiled.

“No need. No need.” Tan Wenci refused politely. “Mo Mo abruptly left our home tonight that she forgot to bring her textbooks. She can’t study here tonight. Why don’t we head back first and let Mo Mo come over tomorrow?”

Xu Mingzhen couldn’t help but praise Tan Wenci silently for his clever excuse.

Unexpectedly, Butler Zhou bowed and said, “The Young Master specially made a copy of the textbooks and reference materials to be left here. There is no need for Miss Mo Mo to bring so many books back and forth every day.”

Tan Wenci wasn’t expecting this.

What’s wrong with Wei Zhiqian?

Why was he so fixated on snatching their daughter from them?

Wei Zhiqian’s reason was valid, so they couldn’t refute it.

“I don’t think you guys should refuse any longer. You are all here, so have dinner with us.” Before they could even agree, Xiao Menghan already ordered the chef to prepare.

Wei Zhiqian gave Tan Mo a tour around the mansion to familiarize her with her future study environment.

She would actually share a study room with Wei Zhiqian.

Tan Mo silently lamented while looking around.

In her previous life, Tan Mo hadn’t met Wei Zhiqian even until her death. The two had almost nothing to do with each other.

Wei Zhiqian might not even remember that Tan Mo existed.

Unexpectedly, in this life, she not only got to call Wei Zhiqian Little Uncle but also would be tutored by him.

The gap between these two lifetimes was really wide.

After dinner, the Tan family was reluctant to leave.

Before leaving, Tan Wenci urged, “Mo Mo, don’t exhaust yourself too much. Rest when you are tired and go home early.”

Xu Mingzhen reminded, “Don’t be stressed because of the exam. Worst-case scenario, you don’t have to take the test, and we can transfer you to another school.

“Your brothers will be waiting for you at home,” Tan Jinqi commented. “We won’t sleep until you’re home.”

“Mo Mo, go home early,” Tan Jinsheng affectionately urged.

Tan Jinyi was almost crying. “Mo Mo, your older brother can also help you with your homework.”

Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan were amazed at how Tan Mo was cherished by her family.

It wasn’t easy for Tan Mo to push herself to study hard when she was pampered by her family.
