Chapter 660  : One-Third

Wei Zhiqian said, “Today, since you two came to harass the Tans, then let’s destroy one-third of your business.”

As Wei Zhiqian spoke, he pressed the send button.

What did he mean?

Could he ruin their business with a word?

Xu Mingjing muttered in her heart.

“I didn’t touch you before. It seems I have inadvertently given you courage,” Wei Zhiqian said coldly. “In the future, each time you come over, the Yuan family will suffer a loss. Let’s see how many times the Yuan family can bear it.”

“If I don’t do anything serious this time and deliver on my threat, you might think that I’m just taking big.” Wei Zhiqian also admired Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing.

Hardly anyone wasn’t afraid of him, but Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing wanted to be alternative.

Yuan Keqing didn’t believe it, but Xu Mingjing was a little afraid.

What if... what if Wei Zhiqian meant it?

No matter what, they should go back first.

If Wei Zhiqian was just scaring them, then they could come back next time.

Xu Mingjing hurriedly dragged Yuan Keqing away.

“Mom, we... haven’t talked to Auntie properly yet.”Yuan Keqing didn’t give up.

“We’ll talk next time.” Xu Mingjing hurriedly said in a low voice and quickly pulled Yuan Keqing into the car.

However, the two didn’t leave immediately.

Instead, they watched as the Tan family returned home.

Yuan Keqing complained, “Mom, why are you pulling me?”

“Wei Zhiqian is just scaring us,” Yuan Keqing said. “No matter how powerful the Wei family is, they can’t do whatever they want, right? If that’s the case, won’t he be able to control everything? If he did, all the other businesses would be closed by now. Why haven’t we seen him defeat all their competitors?”

Xu Mingjing agreed with Yuan Keqing’s words.

“No matter what, let’s retreat for now. The Tan residence is here, and it’s not like they can run away. We’ll go back to check the situation and come back next time,” said Xu Mingjing.

Everyone had already gone back into the Tan residence, so there was little else they could do.

Xu Mingjing asked the driver to drive while Yuan Keqing kept muttering, “I was wondering how Tan Jinqi managed to direct such a big project. How could Kefeng give him the project so easily? Turns out, it is only because Tan Mo has hooked up with Wei Zhiqian.”

“When Tan Mo used to call Wei Zhiqian her uncle, Wei Zhiqian did not support Tan Jinqi as much,” Yuan Keqing said in the car. “No matter what, they are not blood-related. She simply called him her uncle on a whim as a child. There is a limit to how well Wei Zhiqian can treat her.”

“In the past, he was only nice to her in order to protect her. Those people can neither afford to offend Wei Zhiqian nor do they dare to offend him. Naturally, they are wary of Tan Mo and don’t dare to provoke her.” Yuan Keqing thought that her analysis was right. “In reality, Wei Zhiqian did not do much and simply used his name. Then again, other than letting Tan Mo use his name, did he do anything else?

After hearing Yuan Keqing’s words, Xu Mingjing thought about it again and realized Yuan Keqing was right.

Previously, she didn’t think about it. She only felt that Wei Zhiqian treated Tan Mo really well.

He protected Tan Mo so that outsiders wouldn’t dare to provoke her.

In hindsight, it seemed no one dared to do anything to Tan Mo because of Wei Zhiqian. In fact, they even had to be polite to her.

But other than that, Wei Zhiqian didn’t give Tan Mo any other substantial benefits.

Xu Mingjing seemed enlightened about the situation. Yuan Keqing then continued, “I found out Kefeng has invested a lot in Tan Jinqi’s new show. Since Kefeng made such a huge investment, why should a newbie who doesn’t have any experience be the director?”

“If they had hired a famous director instead of using Tan Jinqi, the actors in this movie wouldn’t be these third-or fourth-rate actors.” Yuan Keqing sneered, “Isn’t clear that Wei Zhiqian did this for Tan Mo?”

“I was wondering why Wei Zhiqian was so generous to Tan Mo. Until today, I finally have the answer,” said Yuan Keqing. “The two of them are together now. Tan Mo hooked up with Wei Zhiqian and made him his boyfriend. Maybe he has already slept with Wei Zhiqian, so Wei Zhiqian is naturally willing to spend some money on her.”

Yuan Keqing said to Xu Mingjing, “Mom, do you still remember what Auntie told you when you called her? She said no one wanted to invest in the show and money was tight.”

“She was obviously lying to you. It’s not that there’s not enough money. I think there is more than enough invested in the show.” Yuan Keqing was angry at the mention of this. “How could Wei Zhiqian let Tan Jinqi go without money? Moreover, the show has already been filmed and he has even finished editing. Until now, have you heard that he has no money to film?”

Xu Mingjing’s face turned cold.

She didn’t expect Xu Mingzhen to lie to her.

Xu Mingzhen really didn’t treat her as a family member at all.

“I didn’t expect your aunt to become like this,” Xu Mingjing said with a sad face. “It’s not like we want to take advantage of her family. I’ve made it clear that in the second season, we will invest money. This is a matter of mutual benefit, but she won’t even agree to this. Isn’t this as good as harming her own family?”

“To put it bluntly, she just can’t stand us.” Yuan Keqing’s face was cold as she trembled in fury. “She doesn’t want me to be in the limelight, she doesn’t want me to overshadow Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo, and she doesn’t want to help us.”

“To think that you still treat her as a sister, but she doesn’t care about you at all,” Yuan Keqing complained.

Xu Mingjing’s heart was filled with frustration. How did Xu Mingzhen become like this?

The Tan family did not know about what Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing were thinking in the car.

The family and Wei Zhiqian had just entered the house.

The house was heated, and the temperature was very hot.

Even though the villa was large, the heating was still fully turned on.

In the winter, the windows had to be opened a little to let in some air, otherwise, their faces would turn red from the heating.

At this moment, the living room windows were slightly opened to let in some fresh air.

It helped to neutralize the warm temperature in the villa.

Even so, it was extremely warm as soon as they entered the room.

Tan Mo changed her shoes at the entrance. After entering the room, she exhaled in comfort from the nice warm temperature.

Since Wei Zhiqian was not an outsider, Tan Mo did not mind him. She went straight to her room and changed into a more comfortable set of clothes before coming down.

When Tan Mo returned to the living room, she saw her parents and three older brothers with complicated expressions on their faces.

Only Wei Zhiqian looked very happy with a satisfied smile on his face.

Tan Mo went quiet.

What did Uncle do to them this time?

“What’s wrong?” Tan Mo came to the living room and asked.

“Nothing. I was just chatting with my parents,” Wei Zhiqian said without changing his expression.

Tan Mo went speechless.

Well done!

She finally understood why her parents and brothers had such expressions on their faces.

Wei Zhiqian had always called Tan Mo’s parents “Mom” and “Dad” in private, but in front of Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen, he still obediently called them “Uncle” and “Auntie”.
