Cute Brother Badass Family Protector
Chapter 273: Is He an Angel?
“What's more, he's still a beginner. If the host organization did not give him an award, no one would think that the decision was unfair. As a new face, he could work even harder in the future. If he's eyeing an award after just one show, it's not fair to the other screenwriters."
“This award will not be given to our cousin,” Yuan Keqing said this with great uncertainty.
After all, Tan Mo had already been nominated.
As he thought about this, he heard Xu Mingjing say, “It is amazing that Tan Mo has received this nomination. There are so many screenwriters and only five can receive nominations. Only five were selected from all national screenwriters.”
This does not include all aspiring screenwriters who did not make it onto the stage.
It is the cream of the plant.
Yuan Keqing pursed his lips nervously.
He did not like the way Xu Mingjing had always emphasized how good Tan Mo was.
“They are opening the envelope.” Xu Mingjing hurriedly reminded him. He pointed to the television screen. “Employer is opening the envelope.”
Yuan Keqing focused his gaze on the television screen. He was quiet the whole time.

At the award ceremony…
The Tan family, Xiao Menghan, Wei Zhiqian, and the production team behind “Legenda Wei and Jin” were all present.
Everyone is sitting together. Their eyes were fixed on the stage nervously.
The presenter in charge of awarding the best screenwriter takes out the winning business card from the envelope. Then he showed it to his co-host who was standing next to him.
They looked at each other for a moment.
In the end, the host announced, “The best screenwriter winner for the drama award is..”.
To be more dramatic, the host even stopped for a while.
Before proceeding.. “Tan Mo from Wei and Jin!”
At that moment, the camera panned onto Tan Mo's face and began to record it.
Tan Mo stood up calmly. He had a calm and confident expression plastered on his face, as if he had already guessed that he would win an award.
A sweet and calm smile emanated on his face.
Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen were so touched that they stood up.
Their eyes were filled with tears of joy.
Tan Mo leaned over to hug them. Then he turned excitedly to Xiao Menghan and hugged her.
Behind him, Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi were waiting for their turn to cuddle with wide eyes. They continued to extend a hand towards Tan Mo in anticipation.
Don't forget us!
Tan Jinqi and Wei Zhiqian stood beside Tan Mo. They're quieter.
They smiled calmly, even though their eyes seemed to be darting back and forth with each other.
At that moment, the two men were racing to see who Tan Mo would embrace first.
After hugging Xiao Menghan, he glanced at Wei Zhiqian who was standing to his left. Then he glanced at Tan Jinqi to his right.
Both of them looked at him expectantly.
Tan Mo: “...”
Tan Mo is a bit smart. He extended his hand towards the two of them simultaneously.
Tan Jinqi: “..
Wei Zhiqian: “..”
It was a draw.
He started a group hug with the two of them. Then he did the same with Tan Jinsheng and Tan Jinyi before walking onto the stage to collect his award.
Yu Yixian remained seated in her seat below the stage.
He wanted to teach Tan Mo a lesson.
However, Tan Mo had TanYue and Wei Zhiqian supporting him.
If the investigation revealed that he was the perpetrator of whatever happened to Tan Mo, it would bring a lot of trouble for him.
He had no choice but to endure this.
Tan Mo walked onto the stage and received the trophy. He said three words to the microphone: “Thank you all”.
Then he walked off the stage.
It happened in the blink of an eye. Anyone who watched it knew that he had not prepared a thank you speech.
It went on so fast that the live audience and the people who broadcast the ceremony online went off guard.
They had never heard such a short thank you before.
Immediately, some people started to sigh to themselves.
If only every award recipient could express their feelings so quickly. It would be great if they didn't talk much.
That way, the award ceremony could end early and they could leave early.
Most recipients would go on stage and babble while reading out a long list of people they wanted to thank.
Doing so made their speech so dry and boring.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder if he was an angel.
The way he does things deviates from the norm.
Tan Mo walked off the stage with the trophy.
As soon as he sat down, Wei Zhiqian patted his head gently.
Tan Mo smiled broadly at him.

Back to Yuan's residence…
Xu Mingjing muttered, “Tan Mo really won the award.”
Yuan Keqing was so jealous that he almost smashed his cup to the ground.
He clenched his hands tightly and tried to hold it. Fortunately, he managed to control his anger without throwing a tantrum.
“Mother,” Yuan Keqin called pitifully.
“What is it?” Xu Mingjing asked.
“Your sister-in-law worked hard behind the scenes for Tan Mo to win this prize.” Yuan Keqing could not accept this. He sounded very guilty when he said this.
“If not, why would they give him an award than the other four veteran screenwriters? I follow this topic closely on the web. The other four screenwriters were all famous."
“Their scenario is usually directed by big guys. All famous celebrities will struggle to act in their dramas,” Yuan Keqing said. “Mother, I am currently in high school and it is too early to think far ahead. However, I'm about to graduate and I'm probably going to university this summer."
“When the time comes, Dad will help me with similar settings, right?” Yuan Keqing asked Xu Mingjing with wide eyes. “I'm no worse than my cousin. I don't want to lose to him.”
“My brother-in-law is the one who helped Tan Mo win the award?” Xu Mingjing asked doubtfully.
Xu Mingjing also did not particularly like it if his daughter was considered inferior.
He didn't want his own son to lose to anyone else.
However, Tan Mo was simply too outstanding. He increased at a speed so astonishing that the distance between them became too great.
The gap was so big that it made people lose the idea to pursue it.
However, Yuan Keqing said that Tan Mo was not as great as he should be.
Tan Wenci was most likely the one who had carved a path for him.
After thinking about this for a moment, Xu Mingjing decided that it was a fairly valid assumption.
How can a 15-year-old achieve such evil things?
He realized that Tan Mo was not yet 17 years old. However, she has won the Tulip Award for screenwriting.
He did not believe that it was possible for him to achieve all of this based on his own ability, without any outside help.
Xu Mingjing considered Tan Mo's achievements to be extremely unrealistic.
According to Yuan Keqing, Tan Wenci was the one who arranged this for him.
Xu Mingjing suddenly realized that all of this made sense.
“Also, don't forget that she also has Wei Zhiqian!” Yuan Keqing reminded him.
“When the camera panned to the cousin, I saw Wei Zhiqian in the same frame. Accompanied by Wei Zhiqian also behind him, was there something he could not accomplish?” Yuan Keqing sounded even more jealous. “It will be very easy for him to cheat the result.”
Xu Mingjing pondered all these facts for a moment. He really believes that this is the problem.
Xu Mingjing held Yuan Keqing's hand. “Do not worry, we will make the same arrangement for you. I know that you suffered a lot growing up. But your father said that he will not let you suffer injustice again.”
Xu Mingjing stroked Yuan Keqing's hair. She spoke lovingly, Our little “Keqing is also very amazing. She is as good as anyone else.”
In the past, Yuan Zhengwen was extremely incapable.
However, in the past few years, Yuan Zhengwen had done quite well.
In the past, he had underestimated Yuan Zhengwen.
Although he still could not compare to the current Tan Wenci.
