Chapter 258  : Adorable LIttle Liar

“You don’t have to worry about it anymore. I have a young lady who I am especially close to who is attending the Tulip Awards, and I would love it if you could apply makeup for her. If your friends reproach you for turning them down, tell them that it was I who approached you. If they are unwilling to accept that, tell them they can talk to me,” Xiao Menghan declared in a dominant tone of voice.

Who would dare to approach her?

“What? You have a young lady friend in the entertainment industry?” Liu Jingping was shocked.

The Wei family was not an old-fashioned, inflexible family, but there had never been anyone from their family who had entered the entertainment industry.

“No, she is a scriptwriter,” Xiao Menghan explained with a chuckle. “You might know her as she was the scriptwriter of ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’, Tan Mo.”

When Liu Jingping had joined the crew on set, Tan Mo had already returned to school.

While the two had never met, Liu Jingping had definitely heard of her.

Liu Jingping was shocked. “She is actually from your Wei family?”

The Wei family was certainly outstanding.

All the young people connected with it were such outstanding individuals.

“Although she is not from the Wei family and her last name is not Wei, all of us see her as family. She even calls my son uncle. No matter who we meet, we tell them that she is from our Wei family,” Xiao Menghan emphasized. She wanted to make certain that people would not think that because Tan Mo’s last name is not Wei, the Wei family does not value her.

This was also to prevent Liu Jinping from thinking that because Tan Mo was not really from the Wei family, he would be unwilling to offend his friends, the female celebrities, for her.

“I’m not afraid to be honest with you since we are old friends. Our family is closer to Tan Mo than to many other children in the Wei family. Her place in our hearts is equivalent to my son’s. If not for the fact that her family is extremely protective, we would have liked to have adopted her as our goddaughter.”

Sure enough, upon hearing Xiao Menghan’s words…

The four men of the Tan family tensed up and stared at Xiao Menghan and Wei Zhiqian.

The four men of the Tan family: “!!!”

As they had always expected, the Wei family wanted to steal Tan Mo!

Xiao Menghan: “……”

“All right,” Liu Jingping was relieved after talking to Xiao Menghan.

With Wei Mingwen and Xiao Menghan’s status, no matter what they do or say, they represent the Wei family.

They would not make empty promises.

Their words are as steadfast as steel nails.

Since Xiao Menghan made these avowals, then Tan Mo must be highly valued by the Wei family.

From what he knew, there are a lot of young people affiliated with the Wei family.

Such as Wei Keli, who he’s heard a little about…

Tan Mo’s status in the Wei family exceeded Wei Keli’s.

This was shocking to Liu Jingping.

“Then I will decline everyone else and apply makeup for Tan Mo. If they start to reproach me, I will drop your name.” Liu Jingping laughed.

“Go ahead, we are old friends. I certainly will not fail you.”

After she hung up the phone, Xiao Menghan smiled. “It is settled then. Liu Jingping will apply makeup for Mo Mo for the event.”

…

In the blink of an eye, the day of the Tulip Awards arrived.

Tan Mo had had great luck.

The examination week had just passed.

Tan Mo had taken all her examinations, and there was no clash in her schedule with the awards ceremony.

When the Tan family got ready to leave their house for the awards and saw Wei Zhiqian was around again, they felt numb.

However, the young, energetic Tan Jinyi, who had failed many times yet still persisted in fighting, asked stubbornly, “Why are you here again?”

“I have an invitation and thought that since your family is going, I would join you,” Wei Zhiqian said, directing a smile toward Tan Mo.

Tan Mo was no longer mad at Wei Zhiqian.

She wasn’t that petty. She had already simmered down on the same day she got annoyed at him.

“Why do you have an invitation? You’re not in this industry,” Tan Jinyi continued angrily.

“Didn’t I invest in ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’? Director Liu sent me an invitation.” Wei Zhiqian waved his invitation card. “My seat is right beside Tan Mo’s.”

Wei Zhiqian did not hesitate to place the responsibility on Director Liu.

In truth, he had approached the organizers himself, who had been more than happy to give him the invitation.

And were ready to give him a seat in the front row.

However, what use was the front row to Wei Zhiqian?

He explicitly mentioned that he would like to sit beside Tan Mo.

This is how Wei Zhiqian is.

No one else could pick and choose and explicitly mention where they would like to sit.

The eyes of Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi turned red with jealousy.

They are always losing to Wei Zhiqian.

“With uncle around, my mind is much more at ease.” Tan Mo hugged Wei Zhiqian’s arm and rubbed her makeup-free face on it.

AHEM! Tan Jinqi covered his mouth and coughed dryly. He stared at Tan Mo, “Your mind is not at ease in your eldest brother’s presence?”

Tan Mo: “……”

She’d forgotten about how jealous her brothers were.

“Eldest brother is seated on my right, so only my right is at ease,” Tan Mo quickly explained. “With uncle on my left, my left is also at ease!”

“It seems that the security your eldest brother provides is not enough. The radiation waves are a little short and cover only half your body,” Tan Jinqi said with raised eyebrows.

Tan Mo: “……”

It was getting more and more difficult to pacify her brothers.

“I…” The little snow fairy was at a loss for words for a moment. “Dad and mom are in front, second and third brothers are behind, eldest brother is on the right, uncle is on the left, and this arrangement is even better!”

Tan Jinqi chuckled lightly. He had already seen through Tan Mo’s comments.

His little sister is a little liar.

However, she is an adorable little liar.

Because she is his sister.

He would continue to spoil her even if he is lied to.

The group boarded the car and headed to the hotel booked by the organizers.

The organizers’ staff had set up a long table.

It could be seen upon entering the hotel.

After they had signed in, the staff led the group to the reception counter to process the registrations for their stay.

They did not intend to stay the night in the hotel.

Some celebrities would stay the night at the hotel as they had to board a flight the next day.

Other celebrities who had something else going on on the same night would take their awards and leave immediately.

Not many would stay in the hotel, but it was convenient for them to book a room to rest and to apply makeup.

However, the rooms assigned to the Tan family are split up, and other than Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen having a suite, standard rooms are given to the rest.

Including Tan Mo who would be sharing a standard room with other scriptwriters.

Not only the Tan family, but Wei Zhiqian would not allow this poor treatment.

Wei Zhiqian frowned and asked, “How large is your largest suite and has it been booked?”

The reception staff quickly answered, “The largest is 3,500 square feet, has two floors, and has not been booked.”

“Then we will take this, and you can cancel all the other rooms.” Wei Zhiqian turned to Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen and said, “Since we are not staying overnight, all of us might as well stay in this suite, which is larger and more comfortable. When my mother arrives later, there will be eight of us. It is not possible for Mo Mo to have to squeeze in with others.

“When the makeup artist’s team arrives, how will there be enough space in a standard room for them to move around? They’ll end up stepping on each other’s feet,” Wei Zhiqian said.
